Terror act, done deliberately by the truck driver?

I was going to ask whether the Washington Post ran an article detailing their plans for the weekend (as they did when they told the shooter where and when the Republicans would be practicing softball), and then I remembered READING JUST THAT - that there will be a ‘retreat’ in West Virginia this weekend. There was probably a total of 1 train going out there after the State of the Union, so not too hard to figure out which train to take down.

Train carrying GOP congressmen to retreat in accident

West Virginia has a "stand-your-ground" law and there is no duty to retreat.

You might figure that the GOP would retreat anyway, and they would never retreat in accident ...

I know ... I know, that's not what the headline actually means, but it was just too good to pass up ...

The Deep State has a long reach.

Was it an Atlas-McDowell truck?

Greenbrier per a tweet in this zerohedge article.

$400 to play a round of golf there. I don’t know enough about the place to know what else there is to do when it’s too cold to golf.

Call me crazy, but this is highly suspicious. Moreover, after someone tried to gun down and murder 35 Republican members of Congress practicing at a baseball field, nothing is out of bounds anymore.

A few weeks back, Q asked why several survivors of the Las Vegas shooting were dying in car crashes? I looked it up on Google. Sure enough, several survivors died within weeks of the shooting in “freak accidents.” Look up the WikiLeaks posts on the CIA and crashing cars.

As for this incident, a truck just happens to crash into a train carrying GOP members and the Speaker? Right after the most incredible SOTU speech since Reagan? I put nothing past rogue CIA and Deep State thugs anymore. I cannot imagine myself saying something like this a year ago. I would have felt like a Black Helicopter wacko. No longer. I believe we are at war.

Updates from @elainaplott (writer for Atlantic): current tweet from 1 min ago and then previous ones:

One person in the truck has been pronounced dead. Another okay, another is very bad shape.

The train driver is in very bad shape, too, I’m told. Members, family, and staff, though, are being told not to move around, so can’t say how people in other cars are.

Other reps and staff on the scene: Steve Knight’s wife (a nurse), two Capitol doctors, and the GOP docs (including Cassidy and Wenstrup) were all tending to those injured.

***There were three people in the truck, and the forecast is not good, I’m told. One passenger has been wheeled into an ambulance.

Congressman Roger Marshall, an OB-GYN, is helping tend to the truck driver, an aide tells me.

But some members did “hit the deck” during the crash into the truck, an aide tells me.

“It appears that all Members, family members, and staff are okay,” one member tells me.

It’s like a super-sized replica of the White House. All manner of indoor sporting activities.

“GOP Train hits Trash Truck”

Isn’t that what happened last night? Only the Engineer wasn’t injured last night?

Beneath the Greebrier used to be the US Government’s “doomsday bunker” it’s a pretty cool place to see.

-- How common are these sorts of train accidents? --

In 1972, when Operation Lifesaver began, there were approximately 12,000 collisions between trains and motor vehicles annually. By 2014, according to preliminary statistics, the number of train/motor vehicle collisions had been reduced by about 81% to 2,286.

It may also be a drill for them. Continuity of gov’t.

I don’t mind it with all the surveillance.

Yup. Read Q’s posts about Las Vegas (LV) survivors dying a few weeks after the shooting in “freak accidents” because they were challenging the narrative on Social media, talking to the press, and and forming survivor groups. I don’t believe in “random accidents” any longer when it involves certain factors. We are at war. Q said the same thing.

Do these people ever work?

Yes. Three days a week from 10am to 2pm minus lunch, every other month except for holiday breaks.
