I posted the following in another post, but thought I'd make a separate thread. How might a military intervention happen?
Well, here's the elegance of it...the military doesn't HAVE to occupy the entire country...in fact, they wouldn't WANT to. It's physically impossible AND We The People aren't the problem.
All the military has to occupy is Washington, DC, itself. It's easy to do with enough resources.
The sudden, overnight appearance of a large military presence would catch everyone there by surprise. Checkpoints at every road, interstate, and back street that leads in and out of the Capitol, commandeer the airports, helipads, and Metro rail system, checkpoint guards issued photo wanted posters, door to door house clearing as in Fallujah, and so on.
Regular citizens can go about their business but might have to show IDs a few times a day, but certain politicians and bureaucrats that are on lists evolving from the Durham investigation would be detained and placed in custody, awaiting their day in "court" (tribunal).
The Marine Corps base, Camp Lejeune North Carolina, ""Home of Expeditionary Forces in Readiness," is a mere 350 miles from DC, and could be mobilized quickly...it's in their mission description. The Army base Ft. Bragg, NC, is 325 miles from DC.
These forces could roll into the DC area late one evening and could overnight man all the posts outlined above, issue orders, arrest warrants, and rules of engagement. By early the next morning, DC would wake up to martial law and a new reality.
Treason is no longer in season.
We had a military occupation of DC. Remember? After January 6?
Agreed. The OP scenario sounds exactly like DC from January 6th to the "Inauguration" at 5min before noon on January 20th, 2021. It appeared to be completely deserted as if many of the swamp creatures had already been hauled away. And this is a real possibility that it was all done quietly without anyone seeing it, and now we are just watching a movie when any of the swamp creatures needs to be trotted out for some additional exposure or revelation.
My gut tells me that it has already been done quietly specifically to avoid a Civil War. Meanwhile, ANTIFA can't figure out why there are no mass arrests to protest, and ANONS/PATRIOTS are pissed off there are no mass arrests to celebrate.
