We will not be silenced

 The ongoing elimination of conservative bloggers concerned me enough that I moved this blog to its own server. Doing so for a small blog like this one is expensive. I want to give other bloggers the ability to move at a low cost. The server that I am using is in a foreign country, and they have assured me that they will not respond to outsiders shutting us down. 

I am willing to help anyone who wants to sublet my unused server capacity to operate their own blog, free from worry about being silenced. In this way, we bloggers can share the costs of operating the server.

So what is the cost?

There is a one time fee to move your blog. Until Feb 10th, 2021 transfers from blogspot are $50.  After Feb 10th transfers from blogspot will increase to $100.

Transfers from wordpress sites with complete exports, $50 until Feb 10th, 2021.  $100 thereafter.

The cost for hosting is $25 per month, payable quarterly. 

I can give you a domain that I already own at no additional cost(I have about a dozen of them) OR you can purchase one from me for an additional cost per year. The cost for that would be determined by the registrar. There is even a possibility that we can use a domain that you already own, but that depends. 

The big rule:

The only rule that I have is: no porn sites. They use a disproportionate about of server space and capacity, and I have no intention of being a porn producer. Other than that, your blog is your blog. 

How?

Sector 8 is now active

This is the last post here on Blogger. The new blog is located at sectorocho.com I think it is fitting that it should happen as President Trump leaves the Whitehouse for the last time. Let's join Colonel Bella, the director of Blog control under the new regime, to see that he is not happy about this:



Your entire blog can be moved for a small fee and placed on that server. 
There is a one time cost for moving your entire blog. 
There is an ongoing cost of maintaining the server. The cost for the server is $25 a month, paid quarterly. We can also give you an associated email address for an additional $5 a month, again paid quarterly.  

If anyone is interested, drop me an email at divemedic@sectorocho.com. Put "won't be silenced" in the subject line.

What an incredible coincidence

 Republican Senator Richard Burr refused to side with President Trump in challenging the election and joined the chorus of politicians who threw him under the bus. Two weeks later, the FBI announces that they are closing the investigation into the questionable stock market activity that made it appear like the Senator got rid of all of his stock, right after receiving a COVID briefing where he learned that the nation was about to be locked down. No charges filed. 

Amazing coincidence, that. 


We won't be silenced.

 Smaller blogs like mine just don’t have the traffic to justify the expense of a dedicated server. So I have a solution. I have set up a virtual server that is outside of the USA and will not respond to cancel culture arm twisting. The expense is a bit high for a small blog, but my aim is to make it more affordable by splitting the cost.

Your entire blog can be moved for a small fee and placed on that server. The cost for the server is $25 a month, paid quarterly. If anyone is interested, drop me an email at divemedic@sectorocho.com. Put "won't be silenced" in the subject line. 

Pass the word. 

Chilling

In the middle of the night on Sunday, 2,000 National Guard Troops were sworn in as Deputy US Marshals, granting them police powers. 



Isn't this EXACTLY why our founders feared a standing army? Don't call this a militia. They are wearing Federal Uniforms, carrying Federal Weapons, paid from Federal funds, and have all been vetted to ensure loyalty to the incoming President- not to the country, not to the Constitution, but to one man.

If that doesn't chill your blood, I don't know what will.

Where I disagree with Melania Trump

 In her farewell address, Melania Trump said:

"focus on what unites us. To rise above what divides us. To always choose love over hatred, peace over violence, and others before yourself. Be passionate in everything you do, but always remember that violence is never the answer and will never be justified."

I wholeheartedly disagree. I always will heap scorn on stupid ideas like "violence is never the answer." 

Sometimes, violence is the only answer. 

  • Would the Jews have been justified in using violence to prevent the Nazis from sending them to the camps?
  • Is a woman justified in using force to resist her rapist?
  • Were the founders justified in using force to resist the British?

In a system where one side is the aggressor, the intended victim has only one choice: Violent resistance, or submission leading to slavery and death. 

Ask Stalin's victims how that worked out for them. 

What if one side were imposing their will on the other, eating their sustenance and stealing their wealth for their own benefit? 

The victims of this tyranny try to voice their opinion and are told they are wrong, then told to sit down and shut up. The victims next try to use the legal system, but are denied. Then some of them attempt to protest, but are called terrorists. They are told that anyone who would protest or resist will be made destitute, or perhaps shipped off to camps to be 'reeducated.'

Would violence be the answer then? Or should they meekly accept their fate? Perhaps she should remember the Romanovs before she disavows all violence. 


High Powered Magazines

 Reporters don't know a thing about guns

A 22-year-old Virginia man, Guy Berry, was arrested while carrying a pistol, three high-powered magazines, and 37 rounds of ammunition near the U.S. Capitol on Sunday. This made him the third person to be arrested by police under increased security that weekend in response to the January 6 riot.

According to Laura Meckler of the Washington Post, Berry’s weapon – a Glock 22 – was visible in a holster; His aunt told the paper, “He’s one of those open-carry people,” adding, “I keep telling him that black men can’t walk around with guns on their hips, but he doesn’t believe me.”



Reenactment, part two

 Scene: Democrat Headquarters, discussing the election and the purge of from the Internet of those who question the results







Reenactment

 The scene outside of Democratic headquarters. Or at least, that is what I think happened. 


As I have been saying, there are big changes coming here at this blog. We will soon be moving to a new site that is safe from being cancelled. This post is a part of that. Stay tuned. 

Are you the keymaster?

 Here are the prison guards. Note that the guy in the middle has AR/M4 mags but no rifle. 


If he can find a guardsman, they can cause some problems together.

New Normal

 Nationwide security lockdown will be for an indefinite period of time.


Trump was the dictator, though. 

BREAKING: Federal Prisons on Lockdown Nationwide

 Florida is home to the largest Federal Prison in the US: Coleman. It is located in Sumterville, which is just south of Leesburg and the intersection of I-75 and the Florida Turnpike. That prison, as well as 120 other maximum security prisons nationwide, has been placed on a total security lockdown. Click here to visit the prison's website and see for yourself. 

What in the hell is going on? Here is what the Bureau of Prisons has to say:

For the majority of the past twelve months, the BOP has been operating under a modified operational model to promote social distancing and mitigate the spread of COVID-19. We recognize that this pandemic has placed a heavy burden on inmates and their families in terms of limited movement and the public's restrictions in being able to freely visit with loved ones. However, in light of current events occurring around the country, and out of an abundance of caution, the decision has been made to secure all institutions. This measure is being taken to maintain the security and orderly running of our institutions, as well as to ensure the continued safety of staff, inmates, and the public.

In securing the facilities, the hope is that this prudent measure is for a short period and that operations will be restored to their prior status as soon as practical. We will continue to monitor events carefully and will adjust operations accordingly as the situation continues to evolve. Recognizing that communication with families is important, although it will be limited, inmates will be provided with access to telephones and email.

There is no specific information that triggered this decision. This action is precautionary, and is not in response to any significant events occurring inside our facilities. We appreciate everyone's cooperation and assistance during this period and encourage the public to monitor this website for updated information on visiting schedules and institution operations.

What this has to do with the inauguration, I do not know. Another ominous sign among a long list of them. 




Trump needs to flee

Alec Baldwin dreams of killing the President. He is not alone on the left.


The left wants to get rid of Trump. Permanently. If they can't finish the impeachment and lock him out of office, they will find another way. Like death or prison. I have been saying this for awhile, he needs to take his money and go to a non-extradition country. With his family. Before they kill them all, like the Romanovs

More Facebook stupidity

 Facebook Inc said on Saturday it will ban advertisements for weapon accessories and protective equipment in the United States. They claim to be doing this because of violence leading up to the inauguration, but then read further into the article:

Following the attack by supporters of President Donald Trump against the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, the social media company said it will now prohibit ads for accessories such as gun safes, vests and gun holsters in the United States.

"We already prohibit ads for weapons, ammunition and weapon enhancements like silencers. But we will now also prohibit ads for accessories," Facebook said in a blog post.

The left always claims to be in favor of safe storage laws. How am I supposed to store my guns safety without a gun safe? Furthermore, what does sales of gun safes have to do with the Capitol incursion? Nothing, that's what. 

Just another way of trying to destroy the culture that they hate and punish those who are a part of it.

Misinformation on "heavily armed" man in DC

 The "heavily armed" man who was arrested at a DC checkpoint? It turns out that he didn't have "fake credentials" as originally reported. He had "unauthorized credentials." He claims to be an unarmed security guard, employed in the DC area and wound up at the NG checkpoint because all of the roadblocks caused him to get lost and wind up in the wrong place. He forgot the pistol was in his truck. 

In other words, this was a big nothing burger. He made a mistake, and will likely have his life ruined over it. Not a terrorist- a man with a single Glock 17 is not "heavily armed." 

National Guard Missing Armored Humvee

The FBI in California has announced that an armored humvee was stolen from an NG armory in a suburb  of Los Angeles, California on Friday morning. Police still haven't found it. Be on the lookout for a "terrorist attack" in California, because there are so many Trump supporters there.  

Interesting

My hobby used to be getting into nonpermissive environments. That is, places were the carrying of weapons was discouraged. I got fairly good at it, because I got pretty good at figuring out when someone's security was shit. With that in mind, I want you to take a look at this checkpoint and their procedures. 


Note that the checkpoint is staffed by 3 NG troops from the PA NG. All three of them are armed with only an M4 each. and their weapons are all unloaded. 

They ask the driver for his ID, and claim they are doing a 100% ID check. That is demonstrably false, as they don't ask to see the ID for either vehicle that preceeded the checked vehicle, nor did they check the ID of the operator of the camera. Then, once the driver produced his ID, the guy barely looked at it. 

They aren't checking for shit. This security checkpoint is bullshit- it is there for show. Are they all like this?

I had a friend in the guard, and he once told me that when they wanted the NG to appear armed, but didn't actually want them armed, they would be issued their weapon, but the bolt carrier would not be in the weapon. I am wondering if that is the case here- are these guys all show?

Great Purge Continues

 The Great Purge means that any Republican who opposes the Democrat agenda or who ever questions any cheating in any election in which a Democrat is the victor will be declared an unperson:

Florida attorney Daniel Uhlfelder posted to Twitter on Saturday:

Hey @Loews_Hotels. Why are you hosting weekend event for traitor @HawleyMO next month in Orlando, Florida pic.twitter.com/rt5un3vaQc

— Daniel Uhlfelder (@DWUhlfelderLaw) January 15, 2021


Followed by Florida State Representative Anna Eskamani:

Is @Loews_Hotels / @UniversalORL going to cancel this fundraiser being hosted by seditionist @HawleyMO in Orlando or are they going to just be chill with a treasonous politician who would rather see Democracy burn for his own political gain? https://t.co/5UZDlcLwwr

— Rep. Anna V. Eskamani 🔨 (@AnnaForFlorida) January 16, 2021


Loews Hotel responded by canceling fundraisers for Senator Hawley

We are being purged. I am REALLY worried about this, so I have a project in the works but I am being hampered in execution by Democrat efforts to shut down the Internet for anyone who isn't a communist. DDOS attacks are really slowing things down. Big news coming. 

Why this is happening is more important than what is happening

 As I was working to list the units detailed to the Army of the Potomac, I realized that this was not a productive use of time. Instead of cataloging WHO was there, I should be trying to discern WHY they are there. I have come up with a couple of ideas. 

We know that the election was stolen. We also know that the Capitol incursion was a false flag job. Since the attack was planned and put into motion DAYS before the President's speech, this was not impromptu. Since Pelosi, the Mayor of DC, the Director of the FBI, and others KNEW about it and not only failed to act, but took positive steps to prevent others from acting, this was done under the direction of the Democrat party and its leaders. 

It's obvious why the Capitol attack happened: It allowed both the assembly of the Army of the Potomac and the elimination of any opposing speech from the right. Ok, but WHY are they assembling this army? 

There are three reasons that I can think of:

1 They needed a large, negative event to shock the nation into accepting Trump being impeached. 

I don't think that an event this large, along with the callup of two divisions of troops was needed to impeach Trump again. Also, why put all 50 states on alert? The powers doing this have a MUCH larger agenda in mind, or else they would not have pressed so hard.  

2. They are trying to silence those who claim that the election was stolen, thus preventing the nation from focusing on his illegitimate presidency. 

For the same reasons as above, I just don't see this large of an event being needed to cover for a stolen election. I have seen the theory that this is being done to prevent actions being taken against the methods that were used to steal the election. This seems rather extreme. 

3. There is something MUCH larger coming. 

The election was stolen. Not in a subtle manner. It was done in such a way as to be obvious, in such a way that they KNEW it would be caught. So they either don't care that they will be caught, or they WANTED to be caught. 

Then they fired up their base. Even the troops on TV are saying that they are proud to be defending against a "white supremacist revolution." For years, we have heard those on the right say that the Army and our police would never fire on fellow Americans because they are our neighbors. Now they are saying "If it wasn't my job, I would have done it for free. It was my privilege to help stop a white nationalist insurrection." 

This worries me. My wife keeps telling me that all of this is just talk. She says to stop worrying because all of the talk of enemies lists, reeducation camps, and making it illegal to protest a stolen election are just that- talk. My wife has told me that, "They will never be able to pass any of that." Sometimes I wonder if I am letting all of this get to me, but I see what I see. 

Why would anyone go to so much trouble? Or am I just seeing a conspiracy where there isn't one?


EDITED TO ADD: I honestly don't think that #1 or #2 are it, but I have to concede the possibility. After all, I have been wrong about things before. - Thanks to Big Country for pointing out that my ideas may be off base...

More units being called up

 Now it appears that the Governor of North Carolina has announced 100 more NG troops will be sent to Washington, DC:

All 300 guard members — serving in military police, engineering and armored brigade units based in Asheville, Clinton and Raeford — should be in place by Monday,

Now the Armored Brigade in Clinton, NC is the 30th Armored Brigade Combat Team. This is a heavy brigade with recent combat experience. So does this mean that they are bringing ARMOR? Or are they simply looking for warm bodies? The Clinton unit is the HHC, so I am not sure. 

The unit from Asheville is the 105th Military Police Battalion and the one from Raeford is the 105th Engineer Battalion.

Connecticut is sending 200 more. It looks to be a medical unit.

The deployments include “equipment and supplies” as well as personnel, including ambulances, the governor’s office said.

Pennsylvania is sending another 1,000 to join the 1,000 members of the 56th Stryker Brigade Combat Team already there. No word on which unit this addition is from. 

As of 21:50, New York is adding another 250. I don't even know how many there are any more. 

Closer to (my) home, Governor Desantis activated an unspecified number of National Guard troops for duty inside of the State of Florida.  


Another interesting thing was this bit on rules of engagement for those units deployed in Washington, DC:

I know for instance that there is a detail of National Guard Bureau personnel up at the United States Capitol. They are complying with, and will comport with, the United States Capitol police’s use of force model. 

I wouldn't bet on that. Remember that almost none of these troops have ever deployed or seen combat.  What do panicked, inexperienced people armed with automatic weapons do when they are scared and getting overrun?

They should be glad this isn't an insurrection

 Seriously, the Left thinks the Trump supporters want to overthrow the government? If they did, this Army of the Potomac that they have assembled has one glaring weakness. 


These fat, snacking motherfuckers keep sending out for pizza. Over 500 pizzas a day. All the Trumpers would have to do is have one operative who works there send them 300 or 400 cyanide flavored pizzas, and this clusterfuck would have about a battalion's worth of casualties. Imagine the two Congresscritters handing out pizza, then an hour later there are 250 dead and 500 or so seriously ill guardsmen.

That this hasn't happened is what tells me more than anything that there is no insurrection. If there were, it would be MUCH uglier. I am sure some SPECOPS veterans in the Trump camp have thought of all kinds of similar mayhem, none of which has happened because THERE IS NO INSURRECTION.



Impeachment

 Can the Senate bar Donald J Trump from again holding the office of President?

An interesting question, and one that I think has been answered before. In  July of 1797, Senator William Blount was impeached by the House. Before his trial in the Senate could begin, the Senate expelled him and he left the Capitol to return to his home state of Tennessee. 

In January of 1799, the Senate finally began Blount's impeachment trial, but Blount did not appear (he was already serving as the Speaker of the Tennessee Legislature). The trial commenced any way, and Blount's  attorneys argued that since Blount had been expelled from the senate in July 1797, he was no longer an officer of the government and thus no longer subject to Senate jurisdiction.

In January of 1799, after three days of exhaustive arguments, the Senate deliberated behind closed doors, then voted on two resolutions. The first one failed to pass:

That William Blount was a civil officer of the United States within the meaning of the Constitution of the United States, and therefore liable to be impeached by the House of Representatives; That as the articles of impeachment charge him with high crimes and misdemeanors, supposed to have been committed while he was a Senator of the United States, his plea [to dismiss the charges] ought to be overruled.

The second one passed on January 11, 1799,  by a vote of 14–11:

The court is of opinion that the matter alleged in the plea of the defendant is sufficient in law to show that this court ought not to hold jurisdiction of the said impeachment, and that the said impeachment is dismissed.

So you can see that the Senate of the United States in 1799 already answered that question. Now, you could argue that one Congress cannot pass a resolution that is binding on a following Congress, and I would agree with you. However, we are talking about the plain meaning of the Constitution here. 

The question that the Senate was trying to answer was whether or not they had the power of impeachment. Impeachment was a term from British common law which was the removal of an officer of the government from that office. If we were to decide that any citizen is impeachable, then this would turn the entire system of jury trials on its head by permitting the Congress to hold trials and punish them without the judicial branch. This would be a violation of the separation of powers.  


Running out of troops- 26,000 may be the limit

 Now word is coming out that the Army is having trouble getting state Governors to commit to sending any more troops than they have already. The limit of what governors can or will send in National Guard troops is rapidly being reached. What next? Does the Pentagon begin using Active duty troops?

CNN was in on it

 CNN’s Jade Sacker entering the Capitol with a member of BLM/Antifa cheering, “We did it!” And then asking her conspirator if he was filming, he said he’d delete it, he lied. CNN was in on it. CNN was embedded with BLM/Antifa pretending to be Trump supporters as they entered the Capitol.



This was a false flag. The entire thing was a setup from the beginning. There is no longer any doubt in my mind. Of course the left is claiming that this has been 'debunked' and that they were only there to "document" the event. 



Now 26,000 to 30,000

 Last night, I complained that the troop surge in DC was hard to keep up with as the number of troops was increased to 21,000 with a possibility of 26,000. Now it has increased again, this time to 26,000 with a possibility of 30,000 troops.  

You are being "purged"

 Whenever a coup overthrows the government, the new regime is always fragile. For that reason, the plotters always do a purge of anyone who can threaten their new power base. Pelosi herself said it back in August: 

The domestic enemies to our voting system... are right at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue with their allies in the Congress of the United States. 

So they begin with the President, who is being impeached and declared persona non grata, even going to far as to pass a bill that bans him from VISITING the Capitol. They will also eliminate anyone who presents a threat from the legislature

The military is claiming that they are overrun with "far right extremists" (also called Republicans and Trump supporters) who were sent to the military by the Republicans so they could learn important skills:

We know that some groups actively attempt to recruit our personnel into their cause, or actually encourage their members to join the military for the purpose of acquiring skills and experience our military force. We recognize that those skills are prized by some of these groups, not only for the capability it offers them, but it also brings legitimacy in their mind to their cause.

They are claiming that the Capitol rioters included "Highly Trained Ex-Military and Cops," including undercover cops posing as protesters. 

What this means is "Standby to see officers eliminated from the military because they are not politically reliable." However, that same, unreliable military that is filled with far-right extremists has go those extremists so intimidated that they are avoiding Washington, DC "for a long time." 

They call censoring the Internet "Stripping the megaphones from far-right extremists.

So they purge Donald Trump, Congress, and the military. They have taken away your "megaphone." 

You are being purged. This is not a nebulous, hard to prove conspiracy theory. Each of the links above came from mainstream media, or from the government itself. This is what they are doing. Consolidating power. 





They knew before it happened

 If Trump supposedly made the speech that caused the Capitol incursion on January 6, then how in the world did the FBI know enough ahead of time to visit dozens 'white supremacists' on the terror watch list in the weeks before the incident and tell them not to go to DC? 

Before the Jan. 6 gathering of pro-Trump protesters, FBI agents visited a number of suspected extremists and advised them against traveling to the nation’s capital.

Now why in the world would the FBI visit people's homes, watch list or not, and tell them not to go to DC, unless the Feebs already knew ahead of time what was going to happen?

I originally thought the whole theory that the storming of the Capitol was a false flag was more deranged bullshit. Now, I am not so sure. The FBI knew ahead of time that something was going down, and were concerned enough to visit the homes of people to tell them not to go. However, the security apparatus didn't put security on alert? According to officials, the Capitol Police were 'undermanned and unprepared' even though the FBI was worried? Yet the Capitol police, Secret Service, and the DC police all resisted doing anything to prepare?

According to the Capitol police, the National Guard only shows up to D.C. when they’ve been invited, and the Capitol Police did not extend that invitation until after the breach. 

Bullshit. The NG was already there. I even blogged about it on January 4

It doesn't pass the smell test.  

PSY OPS

 Here is a picture of Biden, taken from this morning's news:


Note the stance, and the framing of the shot to give him a halo. He is looking up, into the new socialist future. Every single picture published of him lately, he has his hands up and in front of him, as of he is grasping the new prosperity that is planned for you. Now look at this picture of President Trump, also from this morning's news:


Looks beaten, right? Note how they choose a point when he is looking down. This makes him look defeated. This is the essence of psychological manipulation. This has been done before. You are being manipulated. 





Major announcement

 Due to recent events, I feel it is only a matter of time before the servers at blogger begin to shut down double ungood plus badthink sites like this blog. Therefore, in the near future, this blog will be moving to an offshore server that is hosted by a company who will be less likely to shut us down. This is going to cost me a fair bit of money. 

So, I want to both offset my costs and give other small bloggers an opportunity to share this server with me. I am looking for a handful (three to five) of bloggers who would like to move their blog to this virtual, offshore server. If you desire, you can also have email service with your own, secure email address. This would permit another layer of anonymity.

The cost would be somewhere between $20 and $35 a month, payable quarterly. My IT services guy would also charge for moving your blog from wherever it is to the new location. More details to follow.

If you are interested, you can contact me by commenting below, or by sending me a PM through the gunfreezone forum

As for this blog moving, it will be happening at some point within the next few days.

What could go wrong?

On Monday, it was 6200 troops. Now here we are, four days later, and there are more than 20,000 troops who are armed with "shoot to kill" orders standing shoulder to shoulder along the edge of a restricted area of some 15 square miles backed up by Stryker armored cars with heavy machine guns, all taking cover behind concrete walls and fences topped with razor wire. All at the orders of the Pentagon, Pelosi, and the Vice President.

Washington DC looks like an armed camp, but Trump is the dictatorial fascist. 




Bill of Attainder

 Congress is forwarding this impeachment with full knowledge that they cannot remove President Trump from office. That isn't even their stated reason for doing it. The reason that they want to impeach President Trump is to prevent him from running again in 2024. The only problem here is that, since he will not be President Trump at that point, but simply private citizen Trump, Congress doesn't have the power of impeachment. 

The framers foresaw the legislature abusing their power. They even included a provision in the Constitution to prevent this exact situation. Article I, Section 9, Clause 3 reads "No Bill of Attainder...shall be passed." What is a bill of attainder? 

In British common law, bills of attainder were legislative acts that, without trial, condemned specifically designated persons or groups to death. Bills of attainder also required the “corruption of blood”; that is, they denied to the condemned’s heirs the right to inherit his estate. Bills of pains and penalties, in contrast, singled out designated persons or groups for punishment less than death, such as banishment or disenfranchisement. Many states had enacted both kinds of statutes after the Revolution. The Supreme Court has insisted that “a Bill of Attainder may affect the life of an individual, or may confiscate his property, or may do both,” Fletcher v. Peck (1810). 

James Madison said in The Federalist No. 44, “Bills of attainder, ex post facto laws, and laws impairing the obligation of contracts are contrary to the first principles of the social compact and to every principle of sound legislation.”

The Constitution forbade Congress from “exercis[ing] the power and office of judge.” Cummings v. Missouri (1867). In United States v. Brown (1965), the Court specifically rejected a “narrow historical approach” to the clauses and characterized the Framers’ purpose as to prohibit “legislative punishment, of any form or severity, of specifically designated persons or groups.” In Garland (1867), for example, the Supreme Court struck down under the Attainder Clause a congressional statute directed against former Confederates that barred persons from practicing law before United States courts who had, among other things, merely given “encouragement” to rebels.

So if Congress couldn't prevent former Confederates from becoming practicing attorneys, why does THIS Congress feel that they can prevent private citizen Trump from becoming President Trump in 2024?


EDITED TO ADD: 

Congress is now trying to pass another Bill of Attainder that specifically prohibits Private Citizen Trump from entering the Capitol.  

It is embarassing

 The DC, New York, and  other police agencies apparently knew about the DC riots before they happened and purposely took no steps to prepare for it. This hurts the narrative that Trump caused it, and makes the cops look incompetent at best, complicit at worst. That is why they are refusing FOIA requests, claiming that it would be ‘personally embarrassing’ to release the records



Alternate Social Media

Now that I am banned from Facebook, I have been trying to use Gab and MeWe. No one uses them. I am posting in a vacuum on MeWe. No feedback, and no interaction whatsoever.  Gab is slow and only manages to load about 50% of the time. 

The shutdown of Parler and the extreme restrictions on Facebook and Twitter have turned social media into an echo chamber of neutered conservatives, RINOs, and rabid liberals. This is a disaster for freedom and a force multiplier for the communists. We are going to have to keep working on ways to push back.

Ridiculous

 The President was impeached for trying to overthrow the government. His attempt was unsuccessful because the best people he could come up with for carrying out this plot were a nut in a Viking hat and the cast from Duck Dynasty:



and the terrorists will be prevented from completing this plan in the future, thanks to brave heroes like this guy and his buddies from the National Guard:



Dumbest attempted coup ever 

Where I lose it

 In the middle of all of the family stuff for the holiday, my heat began giving me problems. The day after Christmas, it was 30 degrees outside. We noticed that the heat pump was making this noise here:


The good news is that I have a service contract, so we called them. The tech calls us and says that as long as the interior of the house is above 40 degrees, it isn't an emergency, and he will put us on the schedule for the next business day. 

The next business day, a different tech shows up and can't figure out the problem. After making numerous cell phone calls, he comes in to tell us that the reversing valve is bad, and he doesn't have one. They will order one and return when it comes in. 

Two days later, he returns and spends 4 and a half hours replacing the valve.

So over this past weekend, it gets cold again and we notice that the compressor is still making the noise. A third tech comes out and decides it is the compressor. He informs us that only a basic compressor is covered, and if we want to replace it with the same type we have, there is a $250 upcharge. 

We agree to the upcharge, so they order the part. A fourth tech shows up to install it. My wife and I had to work, so we had my father in law house sit while the repairmen were here. When I get home, I discover my $200 smart thermostat sitting on the kitchen counter, and an $18 generic Chinese piece of crap on the wall. 

It seems that he didn't know how to work the smart thermostat, so he replaced it. I was upset about that, since the noise that the A/C was making had nothing to do with the thermostat, but whatever. I will put it back in. Except I can't, because the tech busted the pins off of the thing when he yanked it from the wall. 


So now, I have to also buy a replacement thermostat at a cost of $180. It will be here hopefully by Friday. My wife is crying because she thinks that she is the one who screwed up. Not a good night in the Divemedic household. 

Did I mention that the family is at least back home?







Banning the Republicans

 Now all of you know that I have problems with the Republican party. I think that they don't do enough to help those of us who love the Constitution. However, this is too far. 

The press is demanding that the Republican party be disbanded. Not just one place, either. This is mainstream media. 

The Republicans have become unpersons. This is falling apart rather quickly. 

Changes are coming


Get your supplies ready for what is coming. Don't forget toilet paper- you don't want to be wiping with leaves. 








Meal Team Six

In the news today:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi personally thanked a group of the troops standing at attention in the front of the Capitol...Pelosi gave each of the troops a so-called challenge coin, marking their mission of protecting the seat of the legislative branch of the American government

Here she is, talking to the troops. I want you to pay special attention to the guy I circled in the front:



Here he is, close up. 


All I can say is HOLY SHIT! Seriously, this did has a front butt. Doesn't the NG have a fitness standard? The only thing this fat mother fucker is guarding is the chow line, and what is up with how he blouses his boots?

Just wait until he transfers to the space force.

Republicans: an open letter

 There is a growing movement for you to side with the Democrats and vote to impeach President Trump. It will be impossible for any impeachment to take place before the end of his term. At this point, you are probably thinking that this is about support for Donald Trump. That is because you are fucking quisling fucktards that would sell your children into slavery, if it meant that you would have more money and power for yourself. 

I am not a Republican. I couldn't care less about you, your political party, or your personal ambitions. What I do care about is this nation, the freedom of its citizens, and the constitution that safeguards those freedoms. All things that you will sell out if it means your continued feeding at the public trough. I only allied myself with your party because we were nominally supporting the same goals. As soon as your party abandons those goals, we are no longer working towards the same result, and our temporary alliance will have run its course. 

The only reason for you to do this is so that you can appease those who would take away those rights by ensuring that Donald Trump cannot run for office again. Meanwhile, you are sitting there appeasing those who are busy running roughshod over those who you are supposed to represent. 

They have eliminated the right to vote by stealing the election. They are silencing those who complain, making enemies lists, and going after those who appear on that list. They are plotting to eliminate gun ownership, the right to petition for redress both through speaking in the public square and in the courts, and they are plotting to continue to have us locked in our homes.

Enough. If you do not grow a spine and defend this nation, I will never again vote for a Republican candidate. I won't donate another dime to your party or candidates, nor will I counsel others to do so. With your lack of support for the President (who was selected by the voters of YOUR party) you ceased to be my ally. 

This is fast becoming a war between this nation's government and its citizens. You are on the cusp of becoming our enemy. Choose sides wisely, for I fear that I am not the only person who feels this way. 

Order of Battle for National Guard

The current strength of the National Guard units in Washington DC is 15,000 personnel. That amounts to more than twice as many troops as are in Iraq and Afghanistan combined. 

One of the states providing units to the Washington, DC Führerbunker is Pennsylvania, whose National guard is in possession of the US National Guard's only Stryker brigade, the 56th Brigade Combat Team (SBCT). Here is a video of them pulling into a rest stop on their way to Washington, DC. (Note that the vehicles are all armed for combat, including mounting M-2 heavy machine guns.) 


The units (as complete units or at least elements of those units) that I can identify as having been assigned to this mission are listed below:

The entire Washington, DC national guard

56th Stryker Brigade Combat Team

Troop B of the 102nd Cavalry Regiment

1-114th Infantry Regiment

 508th Military Police Company

229th Military Police Company

153rd Military Police Company

102nd Military Police Battalion

104th Military Police Battalion

229th Brigade Engineer Battalion

160th Engineer Company 

261st Theater Tactical Signal Brigade

198th Expeditionary Signal Battalion

1049th Transportation Company

 262nd Component Repair Company

108th Wing

177th Fighter Wing.

105th Airlift Wing

174th Attack Wing

166th Security Forces Squadron.


There may be other units, but this is what I have been able to find so far. 



Unite, or else

 Biden inauguration theme: America United, or else. Surrounded by a division of troops, Biden tells America that they will unite, if they know what's good for them. 

I wonder if she is still laughing

 Back in early December, I forwarded an opinion

We are seeing a communist coup in real time. Remember how we all said that 2019 was awful, and how we cheered in 2020 because we just KNEW it was going to be better? My feeling is that there will come a day when we will look back fondly on the paradise that 2020 was.

Tam replied:

“communist coup”

MY. SIDES.

I wonder if she is still laughing.

Talk radio being silenced

 Now the broadcasting companies are telling the talk show hosts like Mark Levin and Dan Bongino to shut up, or else. With that being the case, I do not consider ANY professional news source to be reliable any longer. 

We are completely cut off from reliable news sources. 

Imprisoning people

 Last night, the DC police (upon the mayor's orders) physically locked Republicans in their hotels by barring the doors shut from the outside

This just keeps getting worse. Tell me again how we should automatically be supporting the police. 

They are afraid

 Troop strength for the DC area is projected to be 10,000 within a week, and 15,000 by the time of the inauguration. They will be armed and authorized to use force. Remember that military use of force rules are much more broad than those used by civilians (including police). I would point out that this puts the number of US troops in DC to roughly the level of troops in Baghdad in 2003, when Bush visited the troops in Baghdad for Thanksgiving

The FBI is afraid that local and state police are sympathetic to the right. What this means, I don't know, but coupled with the alert that all 50 state capitols are in danger from armed conservative insurrectionists, makes me wonder if we aren't going to see a massive call out of domestic troops in the near future. 


Republican funding cutoff

The unpersoning continues, with some companies cutting off donations to Republicans who opposed Biden. Support the party or else, comrade. 

Road of bones

One of the things that has always scared the shit out of me is the communist habit of "disappearing" people. When I was a boy scout, my scoutmaster was a man who was born in the Soviet union. His parents smuggled him out hidden in the trunk of a car when he was a teenager. He never saw or heard from them again. They were taken, because the government found out that they committed the sin of smuggling their child to safety. Shot in the head, sent to a gulag. Who knows?

When the Soviets disappeared someone, they didn't usually kill them. In fact, they usually didn't, unless the killing was being used as a high profile example to drive a point home. It was much more efficient to make them work until they died and then use their bones to pave a road. One such road was the Kolyma highway- Stalin's road of bones. That highway is 1200 miles long, and has a million people buried under it- or about one body every 6 and a half feet. 

This is what communism has in store for those who oppose it. Go ahead, read all about it and look at the pictures. I spent my childhood hearing directly from a survivor of the terror that was communism. Greg was not only my scout master, he was a good friend of my parents. He was a short, round, hairy man with a loud voice and a hearty laugh. I'm sorry to say that he is dead now, having died 15 years ago, not long after my father. His eldest son is a homicide detective and hates communists with a passion. You can guess how he feels about the events of the past year. Greg's younger son died about ten years ago. 

I will never give in to communism. I know what it brings. Sorrow and death.

Cancelling Conservatives

Parler is dead. They didn't just lose their servers at Amazon. They lost everything- even their attorneys. The powers that be have ordered everyone to stop doing business with them, on penalty of suffering the same fate. I just don't see them coming back from that. 

They made an attempt to not only kill the apps, but also destroy the entire company. And it’s not just these three companies, every vendor from text message services, to email providers, to our lawyers, all ditched us, too, on the same day.

Don't you get it yet? We are at war. They are coming for you. They are doing what communists always do- they are disappearing you

They want you dead

To those out there who say we should sit tight, talk it out, and wait for 2022:

What happens next? 

The Democrats TOLD YOU what they were going to do. They have made an enemies list, and they want to make you pay. They are working their way down the list. What are you going to do about it? Vote? Talk? Negotiate? Sit here and say that we are "doom and gloom?" 

They are hitting the top tier right now, and the inauguration is still a week and a half away. 

Banned from FB again

 This time, because a Liberal posted "What Democrats post threats on FB like you Trumpsters?" I responded with this link

I was told that this is against FB standards. I have an indefinite ban. 

Antifa violence resumes in San Diego

Trump supporters, BLM, and Antifa engage in a battle in San Diego. For now, they threw objects and used pepper spray. It is only a matter of time before these clashes move up the force ladder. 

2021 is a shit sandwich, and we all have to eat it

On top of everything else: First a power outage in Pakistan. Then one in the Vatican, Rome, and a large part of Italy. There are also outages in Paris

 What is happening?


EDITED: Mea Culpa. Didn't look at dates on Paris and Italy article. 

My card finally came in

 I am so excited that my white privilege card finally came in. Now I can finally get everything that they say I have been entitled to because of my race. 





(This is satire, I don't actually have one. In fact, I am not sure they exist.)

Antifa member started Capitol attack

 From Deseret news

John Sullivan claims he entered Capitol during rally only to document event, but his own video shows him encouraging others as they rioted

Are they telegraphing intentions, or just paranoid?

 A couple of months ago, I predicted:

How much control the revolutionary communist wing of the Democrat party and their billionaire and Chinese backers have on the overall party will determine how Biden leaves office. If their hold is weak, Biden will make it to 2023 before he is removed and replaced by Harris. 

If they are a bit more powerful, he will be replaced within weeks. They may even let him resign. If the communists are firmly in power, he will die in office. Just how spectacular and public that death is will be a great indication of how much trouble is coming. The worst case scenario for this country would be an assassination. In public. By an assassin who turns out to be a Republican member of the NRA and the murder weapon is an 'assault weapon.' Of course, this will enable them to declare the NRA to be a "terrorist organization" and shut it down. 

When I mentioned this theory to Miguel over at Gunfreezone, he said that for such a scheme to work, the secret service would need to be in on it, and they have had enough of a black eye lately that they are unlikely to play along. 

So now I have to share a bit of my own history and some inside info. When I was a paramedic, the agency I worked for assisted the secret service when they were in town with several protectees. They use local resources, as well as multiple agencies to assist them. There are more than just a few people who are within shooting range of the president, and not all of them are special agents. There are local cops, SS uniformed division, Capitol police, and more. 

What if someone on a security detail could be used as the fall guy? If I were writing a book, I couldn't be this outlandish, but here they are foreshadowing. The Democrats are already suggesting that there are police and secret service who are so loyal to Trump that they would kill President Biden. They are either so stupid as to telegraph their intentions, or they are so institutionally paranoid as to need therapy and medication.

Signing off. Another day closer to victory.

I originally planned this post 6 months ago, when I began seeing the insurgency. I had planned to have this be my last post ever on this blog, to be posted when people began disappearing, because people disappearing is the sign that the purge has begun. I believe that we are seeing that purge now. However, I have been too outspoken to avoid being on a list. So I will keep on until I can't. For now, 

It’s 11:59 on Radio Free America; this is Divemedic, with music and the truth.

Before we sign off, please listen to some personal messages. I’ve got a few words for some of our brothers and sisters in the occupied zone
  • The chair is against the wall. The chair is against the wall.
  • John has a long mustache. John has a long mustache.
It’s twelve o’clock America, another day closer to victory, and for all of you out there on or behind the lines, this is your song.


They are still following the CIA insurgency manual

 From my post in July, talking about how the CIA says insurgencies are supposed to work:

Then comes  overt action. Just as I pointed out in part three of Roots of an Insurgency, the insurgency enters the crisis stage. Violence begins to be more frequent, and right out in the open. The militant wings of the insurgency come out of hiding and directly challenge the authority of the government. Not only is it the goal of the insurgents to beat the government, but to convince the people that there is no point in fighting, because the insurgency is too strong. The portions of the government- local, state, and Federal, who are under control of the insurgency will allow the insurgents to continue to operate, and will even support the actions of the insurgents. The government that is loyal to the status quo is then openly challenged to a fight. If the government accepts the challenge and win, they look like tyrants, but if they lose or refuse to accept the challenge, they look weak.

Now comes the part where the show trials begin. The perceived enemies of the revolution are ostracized or eliminated, just like these people





I was wrong

 I simply was wrong when I said Pence would use the 25th Amendment to oust Trump. Instead, the coup has simply decided to deal with Trump the way that they deal with the Constitution: they are ignoring him when it ceases to be convenient to do so. 

Now his email provider has cut him off. They have simply isolated him. A sitting President being ignored and cut off. How is that NOT a coup? and it was being egged on by the Obamas

Martial law?

  • On Tuesday, it was “National Guard will have 300 troops in DC, but they will be unarmed, and there only for traffic control.”
  • By Wednesday evening, it was “6200 troops, armed only with riot control gear will be in DC until the inauguration.”
  • Thursday, that evolved into “a fence around the Capitol, and the deployment will be for at least a month.”
  • On Friday, it was “The troops might be armed.”
  • Now on Saturday, it is “National Guard Troops Deploying to DC Will Come With Lethal Weapons” How long will it be before they are armed with belt-feds and other support weapons?
  • It isn't just DC. Now Washington state is activating its National Guard. So has Georgia
The Pentagon has activated the following National guard units:
Washington, DC
Virginia
Maryland
New Jersey
Delaware
New York
Pennsylvania

These state Governors are known by me to have activated their troops for service in their own states (there may be others of which I am unaware):
Washington state
Georgia
Virginia
Maryland
New York
and I am not even counting the 17 other states with limited activations to assist with COVID vaccine administration. 

Just in case you were wondering if American Troops would fire on fellow Americans- This Is What I Took an Oath For:’ Guard Troops Shore Up DC in Wake of Violent Siege

Reichstag

There are quite a few Republicans who have been screaming that the events that occurred in the Capitol on January 6 were out of bounds and are only going to serve to give the Democrats a reason to pass draconian restrictions against the right. 

As if they needed the excuse. So you are telling me that, but for the Congressional protest, the Democrats:

Were not going to pass gun control? 
Were not going to deplatform the right?
Were not going to take revenge against enemies?

What exactly did Wednesday's events "make" the Democrats want to do, that they have already not decided to do on their own?

In the beginning, I doubted that the conspiracy theories about this being a false flag. Then I saw this compelling video that shows the Capitol Police opening the doors to the Capitol and inviting pretty orderly looking protesters into the building. 

We are now being censored and shut out. 
They are KILLING us. 

Whether you think that violence is necessary or not, violence is what we are getting. You can either wake up and accept the fact that we are being attacked and defend yourself, or you can sit there in your living room and try to negotiate your way out of being killed whenever they decide that it is your turn, quivering in fear each time there is a knock at the door in the middle of the evening. 

Mission drift, or planned move?

On Monday, the Democrats announced that the National Guard would be securing DC in anticipation of the Trump rally. I posted about it, and reader Stuart said:

Don't get all hysterical. They are to help with traffic flow.

Then the Capitol invasion happened. All of a sudden, the National Guard presence was expanded to 7 states and territories (Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, DC, and Virginia) in Brigade strength. A reinforced battalion will be on Capitol Hill.

Then word came that the NG deployment would be for at least 31 days. 

A source with first-hand knowledge of the situation told Military Times that at least some D.C. and Maryland Guard troops were receiving 31-day Title 32 orders, which allow the troops to enjoy full benefits such as health insurance and housing allowance. The source requested anonymity because of not being authorized to speak with media. During a Thursday evening teleconference, McCarthy confirmed that all 6,200 troops are “on a minimum of a 30-day deployment” on Title 32 orders.

Now it is coming out that they will be armed with firearms

This is my shocked face. So what comes next? Now the guard is being mobilized in other states to assist with distributing COVID vaccines- more than 20,000 so far. 

There are 450,000 troops in the National Guard.

Retribution

 Trump has seen his online store deplatformed so he can no longer sell merchandise. His business allies are running scared. His cabinet is resigning and running. The powers that be are freely talking about removing him from office, including prohibiting him from holding any office. and then charging him with felony murder for the death of the woman killed by police. 

I warned a month ago that we were approaching the crisis phase, and that once this phase began, things would collapse with blinding speed, perhaps only weeks. 

Violence is considered a means to achieving the goal of centralized power. There is not even a pretense of due process or respect for free speech. Yes, there are pretexts given for eliminating perceived enemies, excuses that have the perpetrators projecting their own intentions upon their victims, but the accusations are merely for show.

Trump needs to consider getting himself and his family out. They are going to silence him, even if that means his death. Even now, they are going after anyone who supports Trump. This poor firefighter is going to be cancelled because he was there in DC. Congress is seeking to remove members who supported Trump

Washington DC is under military control for at least the next 30 days. 

Things are going to get bumpy.

My Machiavellian theory

 With news of today's excitement in the Capitol comes word that the Washington, DC National Guard has been fully activated and is being reinforced with members of the Maryland and Virginia National Guard. New York has also sent over 1,000 armed troops

.Because the Washington, DC area is a Federal District, the General in charge of the unit answers only to the President of the United States. This authority to activate the D.C. National Guard has been delegated, by the President, to the Secretary of Defense and further delegated to the Secretary of the Army.  The D.C. National Guard is the only National Guard unit, out of all of the 54 states and territories, which reports only to the President. Any orders given to the Commanding General of the Washington, DC National Guard by any other entity or individual are not lawful orders. Why is that important?

The DC City Council released a statement earlier in the day, saying the Department of Defense initially denied the Mayor’s request for troops to be sent to the Capitol. “We were appalled that this fundamental request was denied,” the statement said.

According to Politico, the reason the DOD initially denied Bowser’s request was because “the original agreement stipulated that Guardsmen would not be in contact with civilians in order to avoid politicizing the military.”

President Trump sent out a tweet at 3:13pm


At 3:30 pm, Vice President Pence ordered the activation of the DC National Guard.  The Vice President is nowhere in the military chain of command, and as I pointed out, doesn't have the power to order the DC national guard to do anything.

In a minute-long video posted to Twitter shortly after 4 p.m. Wednesday, Trump repeated allegations about the election and addressed the protesters, asking them to "go home in peace." Twitter deleted the post, suspended the President's account, and some reports are out there that his Twitter account is permanently shut down. His Facebook account is also suspended

Republicans are quickly abandoning the President. Rep. David Cicilline, D-RI, said Congress should impeach and convict President Trump for inciting his supporters to storm the Capitol when the meet again on Thursday the 7th. 



Now that the entire Capitol city is under martial law that is being enforced by over 3,000 armed troops, the Senate has reconvened. They are meeting in a "Secure location" as of 8:00 pm, to continue the voting for Joe Biden. 

It is my belief that the only way that Pence could have lawfully given the orders to the Washington, DC National Guard is if he was the acting President. I am forwarding a hypothesis that the Vice-President polled the cabinet at some point between 3:13 and 3:30 pm today and declared the President to be incompetent under the 25th Amendment, making Pence the acting President. I also believe that Congress is going to impeach and remove the President from office some time within the next 48 hours. 

Donald Trump is, in my opinion, no longer the President of the United States. If this turns out to be true, the coup is complete.
