Ian Fleming, author of the Bond novels and longtime British spy and intelligence analyst, famously told us how to judge if we should be concerned about what we see our adversary doing.
According to Fleming:
Once is happenstance.
Twice is coincidence.
Three times is enemy action.
Twice is coincidence.
Three times is enemy action.
Lets look at where we stand now.
1. For months Trump has made rumblings about protecting the polls, checking voter ID, making certain the ballots are tallied correctly. Recently and I dont remember the exact quote Trump said something in one of his unhinged tweets about an army going to protect the polls.
2. We all know about the $1.776 billion fund to pay damages to the pardoned J6ers and anyone else whom Trump loves and who thinks they have been wronged by the legal system.
3. Andrew Paul Johnson, a Florida man and former January 6 rioter who received a full pardon from President Donald Trump, was sentenced to life in prison in March 2026 for sexually abusing two children. Police reported that Johnson exploited his pardon status to coerce his victims. He promised to share millions of dollars in restitution money he claimed the Trump administration would give him for being a pardoned January 6 defendant.
So: Johnson was abusing these kids a long time ago, long before the Trump $1.776 billion announcement was made. How did Johnson know the money was coming?
MY CONCLUSION.
Trump stood in front of a shrieking, chanting, armed mob on Jan 6, 2021, and urged them to go to the Capitol and stop the steal. Thats once.
Later that day as the Capitol stood almost in ruins and police officers were fighting for their lives Trump released a video thanking the mob for their love and telling them to go home. Thats twice.
And now for the third time. The same people who planned the Jan 6 coup for Trump (he's not smart enough to pull it together by himself) are now planning how to take over the election process in Nov 2026 and 2028 -- and they will use the same people. Johnson has revealed that the pardoned J6ers know they have money coming . . . is this their reward for Jan 6, 2021, or, is this seed money so they can organize in preparation for storming polls all over the country in November 2026 and 2028?
