Beating The Drum To Warn About Trump Coup-- Written One Year Ago Today; November 13, 2020
(Originally posted November 13, 2020)
Steven Rhodes, the head of the Paramilitary Right-Wing Cult, "The Oath Keepers" just announced on the Alex Jones show that his group was training for an armed military assault on Washington DC on Inauguration Day, as soon as they are "Green lighted" by President Trump. (YouTube link below)
Members of the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys just had a Harrisburg rally at the Capitol, where they were greeted by and fraternized with GOP State Legislators. Pennsylvania is the centerpiece of Trump's plans for overturning the election, by challenging and removing the electors. The militia presence this week is just the opening phase for massive intimidation by these Fascist goons to overturn the PA vote.
These are not small groups. They number in the 10's of thousands, are heavily armed, and highly trained. Properties owned by associates of the Oath Keepers were used for training exercises by the Michigan death squads who planned to kidnap and execute not just Governor Whitmer, (via livestream) but dozens of state officials and public figures in Michigan, whose homes were placed under surveillance and plans laid for armed assaults. Three of the members of that plot had their Bail reduced to virtually nothing by a sympathetic Judge and were recently but quietly released, only one with a Bracelet. Police officials, State Police and County Sheriffs in Michigan have expressed their support for the plot and many are Members of the Oath Keepers and Michigan Militia movement. There is a pattern of death threats against public figures and election officials by members of these groups, cited by Federal election monitors who have challenged Trump's lies of election fraud, and defended the integrity of the vote.
These groups are terrorist organizations. The FBI needs to organize a nationwide sweep to round up these terrorists, place them in detention, and charge them with everything in the book. These militias need to be disarmed by force, and subject to mass arrest. They also are documented to be influenced by a hostile foreign power, Russia, and its Intelligence Services.
Again, because this threat has been made publicly on an internet show run by a favorite of Trump, there is no way he is not aware of this. If Trump says anything publicly which can be construed as encouragement for these groups to come to Washington to "demonstrate" on Inauguration Day, or if anything happens to President-Elect Biden, VP elect Harris, or otherwise there is an eruption of violence which leads to loss of life, injury or damage, Trump himself should be charged with criminal conspiracy and held personally responsible.
