“We’re In Power Now.”: Using Nat’l Guardsmen as Political Props – by Jim Bratten

The Biden election victory and his subsequent presidency have been arranged. He does not have a mandate; the approval, the votes, of a majority of the American electorate. Everything we see in the next several months and beyond will be staged; concocted to elicit a certain response from the public – propaganda, as we saw on January 20.

All the National Guardsmen we saw flooding Washington, DC before and during Inauguration Day were props, to give the public the impression that Trump supporters were amassing an assault on the Capitol building to disrupt Joe Biden’s inauguration. This remains the narrative.

Each state sent their contingent of Guardsmen to the Capitol, to reinforce the hoax Democrats had pursued for the last five years: Trump was controlled by Russia and he controlled his followers, who would do anything to keep him in power. The January 6 attack on Congress (the first step of the fraud), must be seen as a growing insurrection. Troops in the thousands would provide the optics for the press propaganda.

Over 25,000 Guardsmen, more than all U.S. ground troops in the Middle East, were posted on the Capitol premises, weapons at ready to repel an assault. Fortunately, a request by Nancy Pelosi for a crew-manned .50 cal machine gun was denied.

The armed encampment, bordered by barricades of all sizes and miles of razor wire, looked like a Maduro stronghold in Caracas. Then the political attacks began, impugning the honor and integrity of the Guard. Democrats really can’t help themselves, their urges, since they so deeply despise the American military in all its iterations. They prefer it not exist.

Democrat Congressman Steve Cohen of Tennessee was one of the first, and most vocal, to thoroughly embarrass himself. He unabashedly demeaned the troops who were there, ostensibly, to protect him and other government officials. He was concerned, he told the press, that 75% of the Guard had voted for President Trump and only 25% for Biden. Therefore, he alluded, a hidden plot could be afoot, to disrupt the inauguration by armed force, fomented by Trump loyalists within the Guardsmen at the Capitol (insurrection embedded within).

So the 25,000+ military personnel present were vetted by the FBI, looking for connections to “radical groups on the right” – anti-Biden types who may have “extremist” beliefs. Another problem voiced by Cohen and other Democrats was the fact that 90% of the Guardsmen were male… and white! That meant white supremacists, so Biden (even though he is white) was in physical danger. White supremacy within National Guard ranks must be dealt with.

After vetting, the Pentagon found there was no plot. Of course, there was no plot to begin with; only the plot in the minds of Democrats – the “insurrection” narrative they had concocted for the Capitol assault they staged on January 6. Two weeks later, the script had not changed.

However, that wasn’t the only insult.

Hundreds of Guardsmen were disrespected, forced to sleep on concrete parking garage floors when off duty, sharing only one restroom. An arrogant Biden Inauguration Committee didn’t care about accommodations for the Guardsmen; they were there to serve – President Biden.

Although there is no actual threat, the Biden administration plans to keep several thousand Guardsmen in Washington, DC at least through March. Political props are essential to Democrats for the optics, which help them push two objectives: maintain the insurrection narrative, and send a message – “We’re in power now.
