You'll learn more about the 5 military vets in this indictment, as things proceed. You will find that 3 had less than distinguished service & departed under less than favorable circumstances, #4 was retired medically for his war wounds & failed to thrive. I'm still researching #5, who had a criminal record after he left the service.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 13, 2022 9:24 pmTune into Maddow...
I think this is but one of several shoes to drop on more serious charges. This includes Rhodes, head of the Oath Keepers...with lots and lots of text communications that are off the hook whacko violent in their militant rhetoric...direct organization and heavy militarization. Lots of spending on military grade weapons and gear.
3 were vets of our forever wars & their departure from rationality might hold some lessons about how many vets from those wars adapt.
Caldwell managed to stay in the Navy Reserve as an Intel officer for 19 years, but did not make it to the normal 20 year mark for retirement as an O-4. His attorney noted that he is on full disability due to spinal injuries suffered while in the service.
Rhodes did just one hitch as a paratrooper right out of HS, was injured in a jump & medically discharged. He hooked up with Ron Paul & ended up graduating from Yale Law, so he's qualified to vote in the Ivy poll.
Based on earlier reports, I believe the weapons stash & Jan 6th QRF's were standing by to engage Antifa counter-demonstrators if they turned up as they had in the Dec protests in DC. I don't think they planned on engaging the police with weapons on Jan 6. It will be interesting to learn what they did with their weapons cache after Jan 6th. As to what they planned for after Jan 6, it will be a challenge to prove what was actually planned vs what was bluster.
>>The BLM peaceful protesters in Portland are shielding their anarchist shock troops, then cheering & facilitating them as they surge to the front & attack the court house every night, at or just before midnight. It's been the same game plan the past 50+ days.
The Mayor & Governor could end it immediately -- deploy their Police & National Guard (if necessary) to protect the Court House.
They don't want it to end. It serves their narrative. If they protect the Court House, Trump will be forced to pull back, then withdraw the additional Fed assets that he sent in. afan's refusal to distinguish between the violent rioters & the peaceful protesters belies his claim of being a reasonable, nonpartisan moderate.<<
