I’m sure many of my readers have seen publicity for a proposed demonstration in Washington D.C. on September 18th.
Far right extremist groups, including the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, are planning to attend a September 18 rally at the U.S. Capitol to demand “justice” for the hundreds of people who have been charged for their alleged roles in the January 6 attack, according to two sources familiar with new intelligence.
The intelligence is based on chatter on online messaging boards … Capitol Police leadership and the House Sergeant of Arms discussed the intelligence during a call Wednesday. Capitol Police and D.C.’s Metropolitan Police are planning an all hands on deck approach to the protest, although the size of the crowd expected at this point is not very large.
There’s more at the link. It’s been confirmed that D.C. police have activated their entire force in anticipation of the rally.
Remember the massive law enforcement measures – amounting almost to persecution – implemented over the January 6th protests? Cellphones tracked, travel and hotel bookings monitored (including credit card charges), social media accounts scrutinized . . . it was positively Orwellian. It’s likely to be even worse this time around.
No matter how strongly you feel about the conditions under which the arrested January 6th protesters are being held, or the way the judicial system is treating them, I can only suggest most strongly that you stay away from the September 18th protest. The only thing you’ll achieve by going is to make yourself even more of a target to the Biden administration and its biased, partisan “justice” system than you are already. You’ll serve no good purpose by being there, and a host of bad ones.
Yes, the January 6th protesters deserve justice. No, at this time it appears that they’re not getting it: in fact, if third-hand reports can be trusted, they may be victims of profound injustice. However, the September 18th rally will do nothing to rectify that, because it won’t address the root of the problem: the illegitimate nature of the Biden administration as a whole. As I’ve noted before, they have everything to lose if they “lighten up”: so, instead, they’ll double down, cracking down even harder on dissent in the hope that they’ll frighten others into submitting rather than resisting.
As I pointed out some months ago:
… when you talk politics in the USA today, bear in mind that it’s not just politics. It’s a conflict for survival … The progressive left has gone all-in on seizing and maintaining control, at any cost. They’re maintaining a puppet President in power, a man mentally incompetent to and incapable of exercising that office, because they can manipulate him to achieve their ends. They’ve shut off the capital city of our nation from its people, and are protecting themselves and their institutions behind barbed wire and military guards, to keep the people out and keep themselves in power. Those realities alone should illustrate that they’re not going to give up, and they’re not going to go away.
If you knowingly and willingly position yourself beneath the progressive left’s jackboots, don’t be surprised if you get squished.
A far better idea is to plan and work towards removing the jackboots from the corridors of power – and everyone wearing them.

I think that free elections are a thing of the past. There is no voting our way out of this. With that being said, you will accomplish nothing by protesting on Sept 18th. If they are willing to rig an election, they are willing to fake an insurrection.
It's a trap.
Be funny if all of this chatter resulted in nobody showing up except Antifa, BLM and the Capital police.
Good gravy, the term 'chatter' has entered the lexicon of the leftist. I wouldn't call the PB or OK as 'far right'; they only do so because to use that term is the jargon of, once again, the left. If pressed, the term I would use to describe those groups is 'politically active' and even that is riddled with emotion, i.e. politically charged.
In this modern world, my definition of 'far right' is to stop playing paddy fingers, kill them all, let God sort them out. But that's not the game here, although I am not saying it should not be, but to draw attention to the actual game which is a war of words of varying definitions according to the intent of the speaker. Yes, quite undoubtedly, the same term used by the same speaker may have differing definitions at different times according to the whims of the speaker. Only the objective remains the same, to manipulate others. Hot button buzz words.
The irony is superb, extraordinary. Reminiscent of the 'break dance fighting' scene from the movie, Zoolander, nothing of consequence is achieved, it is all show and tell. Yet the moment one steps past that contrived boundary of what is and is not civilized society, as they break into angry machinations purposed by the wordsmith, they are condemned for their actions. There is your 'far right' and entirely conceived, manufactured, and controlled by the leftists.
Meanwhile, the real real far right render soothing salve such as, The won't like it when they really get what they are asking. But that's another story in a far, far galaxy.
Should have the Admiral Ackbar GIF as the standard lead in on stories like these.
This thing glows, to borrow a phrase.
Unless you're hard enough to be a caltrop under that jackboot, I'd stay away.
well how do you propose we get them out then?
You don't. We are riding this express elevator all the way to the bottom.
I wonder how many of the organizers are on the fbi payroll.
It’s a says a lot about the FBI’s reputation when that is my first thought.
It's a buffalo jump. Stay away.
Spend your money on things with more lasting value. Like another rifle. Or have a BBQ with your range buddies. Or start thinking of ways that will monkeywrench TPTB. Making yourselves martyrs or targets is not one of them.
The best optic (how I hate that word) for September 18th would be for one single woman, dressed in black, carrying one banner, to walk in front of the US Capitol and stand there, head bowed, for 15 minutes before retiring.
No noise, no shouting. Just silent condemnation. That is still legal.
BRM, there is simply no good reason to be at anything like that at this point.
That said, I like selsey.steve's idea. It would be a powerful visual.
Soooooo, when do the QAnons show up? (And just WHAT is the QAnons? I see it/them mentioned, but info is zip, zero, nada. Other than the boogie man in the basement… )
From other sites: A Proud Boys spokesman said they had nothing to do with this, and that it was a trap.
That the Nat Park Svc said that there had been a permit issued, but didn't say to whom.

I'm betting the elite have hired crisis actors to show up and hope to attract additional suckers.
I wonder whom they hired to script this out…
I'm betting there won't be anyone show.
I think Sun Tzu would have something to say about going to the seat of the enemy's power. Or maybe The Art of War was just a fashion book?

Since we know they track cellphones, while selsey steve's lone black-clad woman is standing in front of the capitol, have someone push a wheelbarrow of cellphones around a deserted mall and the adjacent streets.
This, if it were handled correctly (and it won't be) could turn into the ultimate trolling if no one showed up.
Buffalo gonna buffalo jump.
Nothing you ought to want gets accomplished in the street. Ever.
Unless you're bringing torches, pitchforks, a tumbrel cart, and a spool of rope, with the unmitigated intention to use all of them, with a purpose and a vengeance.
Until you're prepared to bring half a million people to storm the Bastille, and kill all the guards on the spot, free the prisoners, and then clean house citywide down to the least minion, and take on all comers in the interim, you're wasting your time.
Short of that, no one is serious.
Don't play stupid games with unserious people, unless you have a burning desire to see the inside of a cell, or a coffin.
This kind of event is nothing but a weed-out for the self-selected morons.
