Hello my fellow patriots. I know this is something that seems to be accepted but I saw some debate about it earlier today. I have done research on this and came across this website and the person has done some really great research on it and provides a sufficient amount of evidence and references: https://write-aholic.com/why-didnt-biden-get-a-presidential-battery-salute/
Biden did not receive a Presidential 21-gun salute.
From my own findings here is what I found that I didn't see in the article above: During ceremonies, the platoon fires 3-inch antitank guns mounted on a 105-mm howitzer chassis. Three-man crews, consisting of a watchman (time keeper), loader and gunner, fire at intervals from three to eight seconds, depending on the type of ceremony. from: https://home.army.mil/jbmhh/index.php/teamJBMHH/units-tenants/TOG/presidential-salute-battery
Only two were fired for Biden. The intervals were not 3-8 seconds. That was not a standard Presidential 21 Gun Salute.
Here is every televised Presidential inauguration going back as far as I could find on Youtube. In every single one, the incoming President receives a 21 gun salute immediately following his oath. Biden did not.
Note: Every link is queued up for your convenience. Except for Carter, the guns are always shown. And in all cases, you can hear the guns ... ALL EXCEPT BIDEN.
2021 - Biden
2017 - Trump
2009 - Obama
2001 - Bush
1993 - Clinton
1989 - Bush Sr.
1981 - Regan
1977 - Carter
1969 - Nixon
LBJ & Kennedy are harder to find. But Kennedy got the salute, if you believe this auction for a mortar shell casing from his inauguration
Again, not only are the guns not shown with Biden, you can't hear them at all. This is NOT normal.
I also found this:
previous post
And adding for additional context
Here are wreath layings from multiple presidents. Biden doesn't lay his. The only evidence I have of other Presidents not laying a wreath are when they arrive on holidays (memorial/veterans day) when a wreath was already laid whether they showed up or not (Trump famously was 30 min late to one.)
Biden
Biden does not lay the wreath, all others do
Trump
Obama
Bush
Clinton
Reagan
These analyses with video examples make a lot more sense now! Thanks so much!! :D
Some serious work went in to this - thankyou so much. I really helps going through them one by one by one.
np, mi rabbit-hole es su rabbit-hole
Another great job!
I was going to say... "maybe it was because it wasn't noon yet, Biden took the oath 15min early!"
But no. Turns out that the 21 Guns Salute is for
So... yes, Biden, being the president-elect (allegedly) should have received one even if it wasn't noon. But he didn't have it. There's no excuse.
Not only that, but foreign dignitaries can receive 21 gun salutes when visiting installations... such as Arlington National Cemetery. But what's the difference between a presidential salute and a foreign dignitary's salute?
Well here is Obama visiting
3+1 gun battery configuration, 3 second intervals
And here is Jordan's Secretary of Defense visiting
2+1 gun battery configuration, 9 second intervals
And here is Biden visiting
2+1 gun battery configuration, 9 second intervals
Not only was Biden denied the salute following his oath at the 'inauguration', but Biden was received at Arlington National Cemetery as though he were a visiting foreign dignitary.
Nice examples! I found the manual but they said 5 seconds for foreign dignitaries... This is a very interesting “oddity”.
Same. But I've never seen video of 5 seconds which in and of itself is revealing.
As I have noted with another reasonable skeptic, just because you've found one set of regs does not mean you've found them all. These things are layered like onions and the less general they are the harder they are to find. This could be an Arlington thing, a 3rd Infantry thing, a revised doctrine thing, who knows what.
Damn great research here! This is what we are all about!
Thanks Brother!
Joe ? Biden. POTATUS.
Another big difference is that the 21 gun salute for Presidents are done at the capital. You see it in the video for President Trump's inauguration.
Bi Den's salute was in Arlington cemetery. The salute they did for Bi Den is more consistent with a funeral, not an inauguration.
The demoncraps just pretended that the funeral salute was for Bi Den's fake inauguration.
Now that's interesting.
Maybe he believes he's going to be executed...he did start crying the other day when talking about death.
Question: for presidential funerals, where does the salute get fired - Arlington?
Saddest part is, regardless of #shots fired or interval, they all missed the target! LOL
I’m surprised this doesn’t get more attention here (lack of comments). This makes a whole lot of sense. There is a huge difference there. I wasn’t there to personally see it with my own eyes, but this is some great reporting. Just another small sign amongst many that things are not as they usually are with “transition of power.” We need some canonfags to corroborate this!!!
We keep digging up more and adding on to it
This is the case. I've read at least 4 variants of this all of which were composed of different information that helps prove this.
I think so but worth another sticky imo, people need to see that solid hopium.
They keep popping up so I think you did
It should be pointed out that Arlington is not part of the District of Columbia, aka Washington, DC. It is part of Virginia, USA. If Xiden is not POTUS, but a foreign diplomat/envoy from DC to the United States, it'd make sense he'd only get 17 guns and delayed, when he visited American soil.
Military always does things by the book. They don't slip up. This was intentional. They were telegraphing, amongst themselves and to everyone who understood this significance.
Excellent Dig Patriot! So Xiden didn't get a gun salute at all, that's very interesting! It's also a huge clue into what is happening...just a matter of time Patriots, just a matter of time. Like Q says, follow the plan!
Why would they give him a "Salute" of any kind? If it's just to keep the peace for now...
not until it's proven in court/tribunal
Maybe they were just social distancing the cannon blasts?
Dude, interval IS important.
It is supposed to be 3 second unless.... And none of the "unless" apply, and certainly not for a presidential 21 gun salute!
MSM is labeling that 3 gun (2 used, 1 as back up) video as the 21 gun salute by starting it right as they begin and hoping you assume the first 11 shots were cut off, but the incorrect timing and incorrect number of guns is a dead giveaway.
For more info, check out this comment I left in the same thread comparing previous presidents
So I've finished up looking into this. Here is the simple to follow conclusion (trust me):
1: Every single President (except Biden) received a 21 gun salute IMMEDIATELY following their oath - Link to comment
2: The Presidential 21 gun salute is in a 3+1 gun configuration (three guns fire, one extra is reserved in case of failure), fired at 3 second intervals
3: 21 gun salutes are also given to foreign dignitaries - Table 3-1
4: Foreign dignitaries, such as Jordan's Secretary of Defense received one when visiting Arlington National Cemetary
5: As seen previous, that 21 gun salute was performed with a 2+1 gun configuration, with 9 second intervals
6: Biden visiting Arlington National Cemetery was the only salute he received
7: That salute was a 2+1 gun configuration, with 9 second intervals, same as with a visiting foreign dignitary
8: When Obama visited the Arlington National Cemetery, he receive the Presidential 3+1 configuration, with 3 second intervals
Ergo Ipso Facto, Biden was not recognized, and therefore not saluted as the United States President at the 'inauguration', and was received at Arlington National Cemetery as though he were a foreign dignitary.
Here is what it looks like when they misfire. 6:30 mark in GHWB funeral 21 gun salute:

Just because you find some regs does not mean you've found all the regs. Those things are nested like onions and absence of evidence is not evidence of absence - it's not evidence that no additional guidelines exist.
Find me cases of foreign dignitaries arriving at Arlington receiving 3+1@3sec and I'll reconsider. Find me a POTUS other than Biden receiving a 2+1@9sec and I'll reconsider.
My position is falsifiable, but I could not do so and it's not incumbent on me to disprove a negative. I'm at my investigitorial limits so if you want more it's on your head now. For the time being, it best fits the available facts and I await others to do legwork to find the inconsistencies that your alternative interpretation would result in.
I can't tell what I'm dealing with here, because you've completely ignored the point. A regulation is not the metric. Please screenshot me your result so I know how to tailor a reply:

Our positions are falsifiable. He can do the legwork to find examples of inconsistencies if he wants, it's not incumbent on us to disprove a negative.

Apparently, they completely ignored Biden; that's why you can't find anything to what happened under "b. Cannon salutes to persons".
Looks like this was a ceremonial salute, defined by the wreath laying - no matter who does it.
is Trump still flying mil aircraft? or can it not be proven since he is golfing?
edit for clarity: perhaps he can but is hiding it?
I was wondering about that claim, too.
Sorry, I don't know.
Sure, but not when the total # of shots is < 21.
I think I might just be missing your point, but to me the interval is of no interest, because the number of shots don't indicate a presidential salute to begin with.
First: By now I've learned that I was wrong in assuming that they ignored Biden completely. The salute at the cemetery met all criteria for the one given to foreign dignitaries, when they lay a wreath at the tomb.
Re fake news: Well, we know that they got it wrong. Question is why. On purpose for the narrative or - I would believe that in a second - don't they know themselves? MSM people are mostly lefties; how much does your average lefty know about military protocol? Not much, if anything at all.
Is the presidential salute required? I don't know. I don't think so. It just bears a - as we are seeing now - heavy message of disapproval, if not done.
The part that lead me to focus on the number of shots is from the Arlington Cemetery's website.
(history.army.mil has very similar wording)
This rather clearly states that the 21 shots version honors the president (amongst others). What's also made clear is that any variation (less than 21) is used for foreign persons; in any case, never for the president.
The location, i.e. not at the Capitol, is a separate clue, but as far as I can tell defined by tradition, only. I wouldn't be surprised if the synchronization with the band playing "Hail to the Chief" also plays a symbolic role. You know, hailing, saluting... very similar actions.
There is plenty of other clues around as to when the shots have to be/are usually fired. Listen to what he says: https://youtu.be/68ZLXugTsnw?t=24 - "As soon as...", not a car ride to Arlington later.
It's quite literally in my post you cited from. :)
Including sauce.
Yes. Have you entertained the thought that those things aren't defined other than by tradition? And breaking that tradition (or even many) is what makes us know that something is up?
You say you don't care, yet you are invested enough to comment and call me a shill.
Make up your mind, first!
The next guy that comes with some random shit.
How do you read all of this from what I wrote?
How about you morons go into my post history and discover that I have argued pro Biden not having received his presidential salute.
I'm here for Truth, you tards. That includes pointing out clues that are wrong or irrelevant.
This is what I would say is tangible proof something is not right along with . Marines not saluting Biden, Trump's last speech at Andrews with all the flags in gold fringe, His plane not being designated AF1 when he was flying from Andrews to West Palm. I look at what we can see and try not to get into the minutia. There are a lot more but these things show that POSSIBLY the military is in control not Biden. Also, Trump working really hard at distancing himself from everything so IF shit goes down it won't look like he's part of it.
Thank you Brother, that's some awesome digging!
Can someone help me out on asimilar post yesterday regarding salute for foreign dignitary or funeral. Said it was a 10 gun salute with incorrect timing intervals. Looked at older Army pub. regarding salutes and can not find such. 11 gun is fewest number I see.
They have to be odd numbered, from something I dug up yesterday, it's in the regs (or the wiki article)
The truth, Here is both Bushes inauguration queued up. You can hear, and see the guns giving them the 21 gun salute. Not so with Biden. No guns at all. Can't see them, can't hear them. The 'salute' at Arlington was standard for foreign dignitaries visiting.
Senior
Junior
Biden
In fact, this comment has every televised president back to Kennedy I could find. Biden is the only exception.
Just a thought that makes a lot of sense. Suppose that because of the location they only had 3 guns available or able to fit where they were located. So they have 1 gun assigned for backup in case one fails. Because there are only 2 guns being used they couldn't fire in the normal 3 second interval because they had to have time to load so the interval was longer. Then as far as the number of shots fired I don't know since most of the footage is incomplete.
They used every single gun during trumps innaug. They do not need a backup gun. They fired at extremely long intervals in purpose.
