i think the most important aspect of the failed coup that has not been revealed as yet is the military stand down. no fbi, no US marshalls, no park police, no national guard, etc etc. 45 hatched this plan a long time ago way before the election with flynn, giuliani, stone, prince. the first week after the election when he knew he lost he fired the Defense Sec and installed his 4 stooges. Who investigates the military in this country? who will put Miller et al (including flynn's brother) under oath and get them to squeal. it's clear there was a universal stand down order. can this be traced to 45 directly??? 45 planned, organized, funded, produced, directed the failed coup. As of today, this had not been laid at his feet. America moves way to slowly on the biggest of things.

I’m also still highly suspicious of my PA state senator, Doug Mastriano’s level of involvement in the coup. He was in with Rudy, & Powell, staging his fake Stop the Steal GOP hearing at the Gettysburg Wyndham on 11/25. Saying, “Let’s not forget 2001, Todd Beamer, ‘Let’s roll,’...invoking the name of the man who joined other passengers to storm the cockpit of United Airlines Flight 93 on 9/11...likening the election to Flight 93’s doomed heroes, saying the country’s survival was at stake.

“You know what? It’s our time to roll. This is our time. The time for dithering and deliberation is over. It’s time for decisive action.” He was interviewed by Steve Bannon on 11/27’s War Room. He next visited w/Trump at the WH on 11/29 to discuss Stopping the Steal & then tested positive for Covid. He then attended the Jericho March on 12/12. He spoke at a 1/5 Hear Us Roar rally in Harrisburg & was also scheduled to speak at the 1/6 Wild Protest event at the US capital. He fund-raised & bused people to the 1/6 rally. He took selfies at the capital that day, but denies participation in the riot. Mastriano is a former US army Col. with 4 masters degrees in military strategy & a PHD in military history, BUT he somehow did not foresee the outcome?? I call BS. I’d love to know when he arrived in DC. He has publicly disavowed the violence, but he sure has spent a lot of time & energy inciting it. He’s been asked to resign, but still hopes to be the next PA governor. I won’t be at all surprised if his name resurfaces in the mix.

In general, I'm skeptical of some of the things reported on. Having said that, as you mentioned elsewhere, these are all really quite obvious facts when you lay them out on the table and look at them as a whole. It would taken an insane amount of things going just right, but clearly there was a plan there. The key is and always has been the sacking of the defense people *after* the election. It was the canary in the coal mine and everyone, including the pentagon, knew it meant he would probably attempt something.

I believe you missed one part of the plan, Seth. I do remember reading/hearing/watching people yell 'where is Nancy/Pence?' They were not trying to have tea with them and sit by an open fire talking shop. I even remember reading about tunnels below being sealed off (I believe by you) and gas deployed. I have a belief that not many Senators would have made it out alive if the crowd found the chamber earlier (I do not like the sound of this, but I have to be honest). What would have happened if most of the two co-equal branches of Government did not make it out? Who would be in charge? What is the back-up plan in that scenario?

I wish I knew more about journalism because the biggest problem for me is that news is not talking about this and I do not understand why Washington Post or NY Times or other would not immediately publish this as an Opinion piece. How do we make them do this?!

Thanks Seth for all this great information. I think I missed the part of Mike Pence having a dinner party at his home. Who attended that dinner party? Thanks.

A few more tidbits...

1) On January 5, the Kenosha police announced that the police officer who shot Jason Blake would not face charges. Given the Kyle Rittenhouse situation and Trump's trip to Kenosha, the charging decision's timing seemed suspicious. (Not saying it was definitely coordinated with WH, but if you wanted to incite riots, this might be a strategy...) policehttps://www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/ct-jacob-blake-kenosha-shooting-police-charges-decision-20210104-edxoyst26rbqvl44dyvuf5grvy-story.html

2) On January 5, the WH also released a memo that purported to give SOS authority to designate antifa as a terrorist organization and restrict admittance of anyone associated with antifa. This caught my attention at the time, as it seemed to be akin to an "antifa ban" (like Muslim ban). https://www.rabinowitzrabinowitz.com/2021/01/trump-memo-on-inadmissibility-of-antifa-members/

Meanwhile, the Proud Boys were already signaling intent to create "false flag" narrative involving antifa. https://www.businessinsider.com/proud-boys-attend-january-6-dc-rally-incognito-all-black-2021-1.

BINGO Spot on You are a treasure Seth.

Did Mike Pence have a dinner party to reinforce he was going with the hoax for Trump? Or did they plan to harm Pence as a heightened effect for their plan and once Pence got wind he complied with certification ?

More evidence of an "inside job" at the highest levels of the Pentagon aka President Donald Trump. They purposely gave the mob plenty of time to murder Congress.

During the Jan. 06 melee, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) said he got a call from House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), who was in a secure location under police protection. "I was actually on the phone with Leader Hoyer who was pleading with us to send the Guard." But the governor said he was initially stymied: Maj. Gen. Timothy Gowen, the adjutant general of the Maryland National Guard, was REPEATEDLY REBUFFED by the Defense Department. It wasn’t until about 90 MINUTES LATER that the Secretary of the Army called, asking the Maryland guardsmen to come as soon as possible.

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D) also got a call during the attack. "It showed up, 'Nancy Pelosi'. She was really concerned. She said they needed help and I assured her that we had deployed the Guard and we'd sent the Virginia State Police." Northam said he mobilized Virginia National Guard units, but they did not arrive at the Capitol UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING, long after the breach was over.

"These are taxpayer dollars that are being used to pay these police officers and to fund the United States military. Three officials in the line of presidential succession — Pence, Pelosi, Grassley — were all inside the Capitol when it was breached. Taxpayers deserve to know why we were unable to defend the Capitol from attack, why it took only an hour for a handful of ragamuffin, half-armed protesters to enter the building and pose a grave threat to the continuity of American democracy."

~ Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)

Thanks for your work Seth. It's good to know we have people like you out there who are really on the ball and moving it toward the goal line! :)

Check this out...I just came across this by accident doing a quick YouTube search of Alex Jones and Michael Flynn. I think it’s from January 5. Flynn starts around the three hour and 40 minute mark and at the three hour and 50 minute mark he mentions the 10 days that they would need to make the false accusations mentioned in your article. The guy who posted it I was playing Call of Duty LOL and listening to Alex Jones’ show as he did so. https://youtu.be/ZG5wuOMTOJ4

I’ve been also wondering? Where and how does Mike Pompeo fit into all this? Didn’t Mike make an International visit at the tail end of DT’s presidency?

This is one of the most terrifying account I have read. Why has MSM not had blaring headlines? Where's the outrage? It's just over a month and it could be 10 years for all the notice that insurrection on Jan 6 gets.

If there's no consequence, then it will certainly occur again, and it might be successful.
