Earlier today President Trump announced he will not attend the Joe Biden inauguration in Washington DC.
That said, the Biden team is likely to use the COVID narrative, in combination with the new mantra of domestic terrorist threats, as an excuse for the lack of public interest in a traditional inauguration event. There will not be crowds at the Capitol for a swearing-in.
Much like the Biden team created a Potemkin village of a presidential campaign, a ruse to hide the lack of visible support, the JoeBama team will likely hold a virtual ceremony of sorts devoid from physical supporter presence and with few on-line attendees.
The need for control is a reaction to fear. The far-left is in full totalitarian mode.
Friend of the Treehouse John Spriopoulos attended the January 6th rally in Washington DC and provides this video report from the event.
As John notes, “This is the first in our series of “Spirit of America” reports featuring people from across the USA who came to Washington to express concerns about the election and the restrictions on the personal liberties.”
“Despite the disappointing ending at the Capitol, both inside and out, we came away with stories reflecting the Spirit of America. Yes, we may be entering a Brave New World, but I’m comforted by the Rebel Alliance I know exists because I talked to them face to face from southern California to the Ellipse in DC.”
There will be a few more reports from John as he assembles, edits and presents more interviews from the Washington DC event. Additionally, John shares with us his plan to keep reporting on stops as he travels back to California from DC. “On the way back across the country I’m going to resume the Let’s Roll America tour with a twist. The focus: COVID Compliance and how it’s wrecked the economy, lives and personal liberties. If you have any ideas, I’m all ears.”

Given the intense media-spin from the disappointing end to the DC rally, an additional first-hand report on the events on January 6th is provided below:
The question around a third party has been debated on the pages of CTH for over a decade. After CTH researched each of the last four UniParty U.S. presidential elections we came to the conclusion in 2015 it was necessary to break the two-club system.
It was the need for a third party; and CTH recognizing Donald Trump as the outside pragmatic independent voice who personified a third option; that initiated our 2015 support for what everyone was calling the “long-shot” outsider candidate at the time.
With the American electorate now awake to political issues around the UniParty; and with evidence of 74 million+ Trump voters, and entrenched republican party unwillingness to be an independent second party option; the question about a third party is far more prevalent. In this video Dr Steve Turley uses the example of Brexit in 2019 to highlight how a third party in the U.S. could actually succeed. WATCH:
We need to deal with the voting integrity issues on a state level, that is where we must engage and fight to fix issues with ballot fraud. That fix requires state legislation to address and control mail-in ballot use. They cannot use the COVID excuse forever.
Then, and only then, I would take the third party discussion one step further….
Moments ago President Donald J Trump released the following national message:
…”To the citizens of our country, serving as your president has been the honor of my lifetime. And to all of my wonderful supporters, I know you are disappointed but I also want you know that our incredible journey is only just beginning”…
We have the reality of around 100 million real MAGA army members staring toward a leftist opposition front containing battalions of cardboard cutouts (mail-in ballots). No amount of media marginalization is ever going to change the reality of that political landscape. That’s why they are trying so hard. Cue Nancy Pelosi:
(Politico) – Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday called for Vice President Mike Pence to immediately initiate the removal of President Donald Trump, declaring him a seditious threat to the country who can’t be trusted to finish even the last two weeks of his term.
Pelosi’s extraordinary statement … lends significant weight to a mounting Democratic effort to oust Trump, either by impeaching him for the second time or pressuring Pence and Cabinet officials to invoke the 25th Amendment process. (read more)
For an incoming administration presenting themselves publicly so confident of their electoral victory, they sure are trying hard to eliminate the voices of dissent. It’s as if the opposition realizes their scheme resulted in minority rule needing to control the masses.
The duplicity of former AG Bill Barr’s position is stunning. It should be remembered that Bill Barr previously stated that President Trump was targeted by the weaponization of the intelligence apparatus, including the DOJ and FBI, as “spying on the administration.”
Additionally, in September the same AG Barr noted that mail-in ballots was “absolutely opening the floodgates to election fraud.”
However, as soon a President Trump remarks on the same two key issues; and now that he is out of office; the former AG states: “The President’s conduct yesterday was a betrayal of his office and supporters.”
WASHINGTON DC – Former Attorney General William Barr accused President Donald Trump on Thursday of a “betrayal of his office” — the latest rebuke of the president by a former high-ranking administration official after pro-Trump rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol.
“Orchestrating a mob to pressure Congress is inexcusable,” Barr said in a statement obtained by POLITICO. “The President’s conduct yesterday was a betrayal of his office and supporters.” (read more)
Good grief… Could the purposeful timing of those intent on preserving corrupt intelligence and U.S. government institutions be any more transparent?
As CTH noted weeks ago, the DNI report on foreign involvement in 2020 election interference could structurally have established the framework for election challenges on the basis of the guarantee clause of the constitution. However, in order for that to be effective it would be needed prior to the congressional certification of the electors.
Today, literally hours after congress votes to certify the election results, that very same DNI report is now delivered to congress.
Buried inside an article noting that politically motivated intelligence officers intentionally withheld information about China’s active involvement in the 2020 election, we find this sentence:
“The intelligence community’s classified assessment on foreign influence in the 2020 election … was also submitted to Congress on Thursday.” (link)
The Saul Alinsky playbook “Rules for Radicals”, the roadmap to target political opposition, has been the primary strategic tool in the arsenal of Obama-era operatives for the past several decades. One of the key strategies outlined is “freezing your opposition” and contains three elements: Isolate, Ridicule, Marginalize.
In the modern era these same strategies were applied over social media through the control mechanisms of Big Tech platforms. Today, that crew made their biggest move to date. Facebook Announcement:
It is important to remember, while the target in this instance is Donald J Trump, the United States President, this ‘weaponized-for-politics‘ approach has been taken several times before by these same technology and communication operatives.
[SIDE NOTE: Factually, the first deployment of Facebook and Twitter for these political intents was in Egypt and the mid-east during the “Arab Spring”]
The goal of social media deployment in this way is fundamentally unchanged from the old school use of the Alinsky playbook before the era of social media. Targeting political opposition using the three prongs of “Isolation-Marginalization-Ridicule” is the same use of the same strategy using modern technology.
After a day of conflict and agitation within Washington DC, some of which was agitated by Antifa and far-left provocateurs (will come out in the days ahead), President Trump urged calm and peace in a Twitter message and video. However, the social media platforms did not like that President Trump continued to challenge the Biden election win:
“We had an election that was stolen from us,” the President said. You have to go home now. We have to have peace. We have to have law and order,” Trump said. “We don’t want anybody hurt.” “I know how you feel. But go home and go home in peace,” adding: “We love you. You’re very special.” In what can be considered a planned approach Twitter then blocked and suspended President Trump’s account:
Twitter went one-step further in their efforts to be the arbiters of public discourse and said they will continue to monitor the “situation in real time, including examining activity on the ground and statements made off Twitter. We will keep the public informed, including if further escalation in our enforcement approach is necessary.”
Twitter also threatened to permanently suspend Donald Trump’s account:
Frustrations have boiled over into direct confrontation with DC authorities. As people have stormed the capitol building, President Trump is urging all the DC protestors to remain calm and non violent:
Obviously, the contrast between how media covered the BLM and “resistance” riots in Washington DC for the past 4 years, as compared to today, is quite remarkable. Today the hundreds of thousands of protestors in DC are being outlined as domestic terrorists; and the DC mayor has initiated a curfew.
As people have become increasingly frustrated with how politicians and bureaucrats have disconnected themselves from the voices of the American electorate there was likely to be a confrontation. That overwhelming anger has surfaced in these events today.
It is also widely reported that agents provocateur associated with Antifa and BlackBloc infiltrated the crowd to stir up trouble and create the impression of violent Trump supporters. A false flag operation with intent to cloud/marginalize protestors.
