You need to look more in to who Checkmate are. They are not Patriots, they are DS connected. The punisher symbol is just PR.

Checkmate has done security for 3 previous presidential inaugurations. Founded in 2008 as a subsidiary of event company Showcall, immediately picking up the contract for 2008 G20 summit followed by the first Obama inauguration:

I mean, it's a common pro-Police symbol posted by a company that hires a lot of ex-Police? Not seeing the significance.

Hate to be a bubble burster, but this company has provided security at the 2009, 2013, and 2017 presidential inaugurations as well as many international summits and the DNC & RNC. There is nothing to read in to here.

Lyrics of the aria translated to English:

Nobody shall sleep!... Nobody shall sleep! Even you, oh Princess, in your cold room, watch the stars, that tremble with love and with hope. But my secret is hidden within me, my name no one shall know... No!...No!... On your mouth, I will tell it when the light shines. And my kiss will dissolve the silence that makes you mine!... (No one will know his name and we must, alas, die.) Vanish, o night! Set, stars! Set, stars! At dawn, I will win! I will win! I will win!

I swear, if it turns out Cthulhu has been manipulating everyone's dreams this whole time, I'm out.

Probability is very high of Twitter and Facebook being heavily regulated by the EU and other countries or face outright bans. There's already very little love for Silicon Valley tech giants in foreign governments.

Be a real shame if the only rioters were Antifa / BLM in disguise. Democrats cry Insurrection! and demand POTUS quell it with the IA! POTUS happy to oblige... 4D Chess.

No. It was a hoax by anti-lockdown protesters. The police here can't arrest you for violating lockdown. Same tactics as the fake hate crime stuff... doesn't help, just hinders.

A bit of insight on how the UK actually works. The Covid rules here are not really laws in almost all cases. Even those that are laws are not really enforceable because they contradict basic rights. They're more like the government begging people to comply by constantly escalating and the majority of people just ignoring them. We are strange people.

Something that confused me out about Trump's speech on 6th are these consecutive lines about Pence:

All Vice-President Pence has to do is send it back to the States to re-certify, and we become president, and you are the happiest people. I just spoke to Mike. I said, “Mike, that doesn’t take courage. What takes courage is to do nothing. That takes courage,” and then we’re stuck with a president who lost the election by a lot, and we have to live with that for four more years. We’re just not going to let that happen.

It seemed weird to me to describe doing nothing (letting Biden win with fraudulent votes) as courageous.

Pure speculation.
