January 6, 2025: Déjà vu all over again?
Once again, we are facing a slow-moving Democrat insurrection to abolish the U.S. Constitution, Electoral College, and Supreme Court and to overthrow the government of the United States.
Background…
The congressional certification of electors, outlined in the U.S. Constitution, is the process by which the U.S. Congress counts and certifies the electoral votes cast by the Electoral College following a presidential election and is essential for ensuring the legitimacy and orderly transition of presidential power in the United States. How it works:
[OCS: This is the “challenge and debate” step that Democrats feared in January 2021. With a credible challenge to state certifications and the seating of alternate electors due to cognizable voting irregularities and discrepancies that demanded challenge and debate, it appears that the intervening Capitol riot and the discovery of nearby bombs thwarted challenge and debate, and the process was short-circuited to completion. Using Occam’s Razor about the simplest of explanations, one can question whether or not the riot was aided and abetted by the Democratic Party and their Deep State/Establishment cohorts. No successful Court challenges were initiated because they were judged to be time-barred, the parties lacked standing, the venue was incorrect, and there was “no judicial remedy” to be had under the Constitution.] Final Certification: Once all votes are counted and any challenges resolved, Congress officially certifies the election results. This certification is crucial for the inauguration of the President and Vice President, which occurs on January 20. |
Danger ahead!
It appears that the politically weaponized military has just granted themselves new powers that seem to skirt the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act (18 U.S.C. § 1385) that limits the federal government’s powers in the use of federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies within the United States.
DoD Directive 5240.01, as revised on September 27, 2024, now appears to authorize lethal military force on domestic citizens.
DoD Directive 5240.01 , Section 3.3.a.(2)(c) Subject to Paragraph 3.1., Defense Intelligence Components may provide personnel to assist a Federal department or agency, including a Federal law enforcement agency, or a State or local law enforcement agency when lives are in danger, in response to a request for such assistance , in accordance with the following approval authorities : a. Secretary of Defense Approval. (1) The Secretary of Defense may approve any type of requested permissible assistance described in Paragraph 3.2. (2) The decision to approve requests for these types of permissible assistance described in Paragraph 3.2. to law enforcement agencies and other civil authorities are reserved to the Secretary of Defense: (a) Provision of personnel to support response efforts for civil disturbances, which may also require Presidential authorization. (b) DoD response to chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-yield explosive incidents. (c) Assistance in responding with assets with potential for lethality, or any situation in which it is reasonably foreseeable that providing the requested assistance may involve the use of force that is likely to result in lethal force, including death or serious bodily injury. It also includes all support to civilian law enforcement officials in situations where a confrontation between civilian law enforcement and civilian individuals or groups is reasonably anticipated. (d) Provision or use of DoD unmanned systems in the United States except as delegated by the Secretary of Defense pursuant to the October 31, 2023 Secretary of Defense Memorandum. [OCS: What makes this provision contentious is the level of negligence and misconduct regarding actions taken by the Department of Defense in responding to lawful orders of the President of the United States to assist in securing the Capitol Complex. The assistance that then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser unconditionally rejected. January 6 raised questions about preparedness, undue command influence, and decision-making processes within the DoD, highlighting the challenges of responding to unprecedented events.] |
Bottom line…
Given that the progressive communist democrats have done everything in their power to promote fraudulent elections, including fighting against the cleanup of voter rolls, eliminating voter identification requirements, curtailment of motor voter restrictions involving illegal aliens, altering counting and oversight procedures, and demanding universal mail ballots and vote harvesting, it appears we are in for another election shit show with delays, irregularities, and outright fraud.
The only antidote is for an overwhelming victory for the Republicans in the House, Senate, and Presidency.
We are so screwed.
