Military Occupation Of D.C. Extended As Dems Look To Make It Permanent

What’s next? Formally renaming it Obamastan?

The unprecedented militarization of the nation’s capital has once again been extended with the Pentagon authorizing the presence of National Guard boots on the ground until at least late May.

On Tuesday, Secretary Of Defense Lloyd Austin agreed to keep 2,300 troops in Washington D.C. citing a support mission at the request of U.S. Capitol police; the number represents a further reduction from the 20,000 + National Guard members who were deployed under the pretense of protecting politicians from an “armed insurrection” that never occurred.

Austin, who was swooned over for his “diversity” despite the fact that like his white predecessor, he also worked for defense giant Raytheon has also been presiding over what can only be described as a purge of any who may be suspected of being a supporter of former President Donald J. Trump from the military under the pretense of screening for “white supremacists,” a sign that the one-party Democrat state is consolidating its power.

The announcement comes nearly a week after the House canceled scheduled votes citing intelligence over a “possible plot to breach the Capitol by an identified militia group,” another false alarm that Democrats have used to justify the need for sweeping new domestic terrorism laws in which potential threats could be so vaguely defined so that legitimate political activity could be targeted.

According to a Pentagon statement: “This decision was made after a thorough review of the request and after close consideration of its potential impact on readiness,” and that Defense Department officials would work with Capitol police to “incrementally reduce the National Guard footprint as conditions allow.”

Even though the area no longer resembles Baghdad’s heavily fortified “Green Zone” at the height of hostilities during the Iraq war, the ominous nature of troops on the streets of the “shining city on a hill” only underscores the authoritarian nature of the ruling Democratic party and their new normal.

Via The Federalist, “Biden’s Defense Secretary Demands National Guard Surround Capitol For Months”:

Biden’s Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin approved a request from U.S. Capitol Police to extend the National Guard’s occupation of the Capitol grounds until at least the end of May, lengthening the timeline beyond the original March 12 deadline.

Capitol Police celebrated the decision, saying they were “extremely grateful for the Department of Defense’s continued commitment to support our critical mission to protect Congress” by asking more than 2,000 troops to stay in the capital city.

“The National Guard has played a critical role to the Department’s enhanced security posture. We thank the Guard and the Department of Defense for their partnership,” said the police in a statement.

The extension comes just one week after Democratic and corporate media prophecies of another attack on the Capitol on March 4, reportedly spread by QAnon, went unfulfilled, leaving the federal grounds devoid of any action and people other than members of the National Guard.

It also follows recommendations from Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s partisan pick to lead a Capitol security investigation to create a 24-hour “quick reaction force” surrounding the Hill that will always be ready for another attack, as well as more fencing and more training totaling up to $130 million a year.

Fox’s Tucker Carlson recently suggested that Americans can expect a permanent militarization of the nation’s capital:

“The troops will never leave.” As you probably figured out by now, the troops are in the Capitol for political reasons. They’re there to prop up the regime.”

Carlson has a point and even a limited National Guard presence is likely only being used as a placeholder.

A “task force” commissioned by Speaker Nancy Pelosi and headed up by retired Army Lt. General Russel Honoré has now delivered its recommendations and they include the creation of a Quick Reaction Force (QRF) using the justification that D.C.  is “a high-value target for foreign terrorists or domestic extremists, yet it has no dedicated QRF for response to crises.”

Fox News broke the story of the results of Pelosi’s hand-picked panel and the QRF that would put a lasting military presence in D.C. which would be “24/7/365” with an estimated cost of “between $40 and $130 million annually.”

“Members of the force would either be recruited from existing federal law enforcement, established under the D.C. National Guard or from Guard units from all over the U.S. for three to six-month stints, or reestablishing a military police battalion from troops. who live in or near the city year-round, perpetually on active duty,” according to Fox.

Despite the presenting of Pelosi’s task force as being bipartisan in nature, the man who led it has quite a history of social media activity that would indicate that he is a hard-core Democrat loyalist.

What could possibly go wrong? Not that Pelosi and the Democrats have any intention of creating an American version of Saddam Hussein’s notorious Republican Guard or anything.

Sadly, the exploitation of the “storming” of the Capitol on January 6th has led to Democrats using the Rahm Emanuel maxim of never letting a good crisis “go to waste” to permanently change the nature of what not that long ago was a free country.

Even worse is that few would dare to point out how extreme that this all is.
