Hiding In Plain Sight

This coup was hiding in plain sight. It started with the firing of the defense secretary and the chief of staff and the installation of the the minions. Now when you see the results of the last 3 days you know why they did not want the transition team talking to the current defense and intelligence departments.
The only plausible reaction to the terrorists from the Capitol Police is that they were told to expect the President in the crowd. Look at their body posture around these people. They are treating them as a high school field trip until they stormed the doors. Compare that to the BLM protests and even more shocking their posture when they arrested now Senator Raphael Warnock for praying under the dome of the capital. They were told to expect something other than what they got. When they requested additional support earlier in the week it was denied. When they were offered more help during the seige it was denied. As Steny Hoyer was locked away he called the Governor of Marland and asked for more help as none was on site. The Governor was denied authorization to send in the Maryland state police and National Guard. These are all the glaring examples of a planned and executed coup on this nation. What else explains terrorists with zip tie handcuffs and explosive devices. Not to mention the automatic weapons and handguns. The President stirred the pot hoping to get the result he wanted.

Have followed Kendzior, the Chalupa sisters, and Timothy Snyder since this all started.

They know and see and say what's up!
