AUTHOR’S NOTE: If you have not seen our updates on the police-state that has been forming in America, then please check them out. The last major update we gave on this was the Department of Defense announcing a national terror threat alert that is set to expire at the end of April.
Bloomberg reports this:
The Pentagon is set to approve an extension of the National Guard deployment at the U.S. Capitol for about two more months, defense officials said Tuesday.
Officials said final details were being worked out, but Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is expected to give final approval, and have Guard troops continue to provide security in Washington, D.C., at the request of the Capitol Police, amid worries about continued threats. Officials have been scrambling in recent days to determine if and how to fill the request for more than 2,000 Guard forces, as the original March 12 deadline for them to leave Washington looms.
The decision underscores concerns about the ongoing threat of violence at the Capitol, two months after rioters breached the building in violence that left five people dead. Law enforcement have remained in a heightened security posture in response to intelligence suggesting possible threats to the Capitol by militia groups.
The request to extend the deployment met resistance last week, as some governors expressed reluctance or flatly refused to commit their troops to more time in the city. There now appears to be enough states willing to provide Guard troops for the mission, said the defense officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.
In this video, two pedestrians were stopped because troops were ordered to block off even more roads, forcing them to turn around and walk miles back from where they started. The spoke with one female troop and she gives her limited opinions. The pedestrians also film some additional shots of all the troops on the street corners.
Yesterday, however, it was announced that 1,000 troops will be leaving. Some troops will return to their home state and be replaced with fresh troops from that state. Michigan will no longer be participating in providing troops to the Capitol. More governors, both Republican and Democrat, are questioning why the troops, and so many of them, still need to be there. Capitol Police say they want more troops.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Welcome to the “new normal.” Give it more time and it will spread out permanently in the states. All we need is more “terror threats” for this to occur. Or when the economy dive bombs soon and there is massive anarchy in the streets.
Of course, if you are Qanon, you believe this growing and invasive police state is “all part of the plan” and the “white hats, the good guys” are busy cleaning house of ‘the swamp.’
