Pentagon is considering sending the National Guard to DC ahead of US Freedom Convoy protest as thousands of truckers aim to shut down 64-mile Capital Beltway
2022-02-23
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] NOT a good weekend to be sleeping in a garage!
  • US Defense Department is mulling a request to send the National Guard to the nation's capital to help police an incoming group of truckers

  • The truckers are heading to DC to protest government mandates, including vaccine requirements, as part of a trend started by Canadian drivers last month

  • It's not clear how many long haulers will participate in the US demonstration, but some expect there to be thousands of truckers in DC

  • The Pentagon said it is 'analyzing a request for assistance from the US Capitol Police and the DC Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency'

Don't show up anywhere en masse. Don't show up at all.

Then start the rumor mill again, in a week. Much more economical on fuel consumption that way.

#3  Don't show up anywhere en masse. Don't show up at all. All truckers drive 5 mph below the speed limit, and go (slowly) anywhere but DC (for now.)

#2  Were I intent on engaging in mischief at scale, I would leak detailed plans of where the activities were going to happen, and then show up en masse somewhere else.

How can we break the Posse Comitatus Act? Remember the states voluntarily sent their Guard units before who were under the authority of the Guard commander in DC after January 6.

BTW, even that couldn't be done under the law until after Karina. After the Donks and their media organs blamed everything on Bush (cause the law didn't allow that option), they quietly changed the law.
