How much preplanning went into the Trump supporters attack on the Capitol?

[Chainfire]

5. My opinion: The ultimate goal was probably similar to McVeigh's and Charlie Manson's.

Helter Skelter.

This was not a spontaneous insurrection, although the vast majority of the participants would not have know that. It was a small army hiding within a mass of pawns. The fools who hammed for the cameras were just unknowing distraction for the real work; human camouflage.

Trump was firing on Ft. Sumpter, hoping that all over the country, real patriots would see the Capitol captured, and be emboldened to continue the civil war. The success of the plan required the capture of hostages and when the Congress was secured, the plan was doomed and the only thing left to do was break glass.


I believe that that the planners felt that if they could occupy the Whitehouse for 24 hours, that the revolt would succeed. Trump would end the violence, ascend the throne and that the planners and supporters would become the new power barons, with the nation as their playground.

It was just a good old fashion coup attempt that went off the tracks, and it should be treated as such.

I thought that there was one brief telltale scene during the revolt. The infamous Airforce Colonel, about to enter the building, turns to his team and gives prearranged hand signals and mouths instructions to some one or some group.
