It is time. The Left needs to be put down...destroyed. Otherwise America ends. We cannot exist together.

In 1968 after the violent Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Lyndon Johnson faced the possibility that the election might not be held in a state of domestic tranquility. His greatest fear was that the antiwar movement and the Black Panthers would unite to bury the election in violence. Johnson asked the lawyers of the National Security Council for a menu of options. Remember that Johnson was a schoolteacher before entering politics, not an attorney.
The NSC attorneys reported that state legislatures could choose presidential electors, and no popular vote was required by the Constitution. Election of senators and representatives was another matter. A lot of the procedure of federal elections is hard-coded in legislation and even the Constitution itself.
The option chosen by Johnson was the annulment of the Constitution and a declaration of martial law, something even Lincoln had not dared. Annulment would permit Johnson to remain president until domestic tranquility was restored and the mechanics of a presidential election could go forward in peace.
Johnson knew he was not trusted anymore by the electorate, so he asked the NSC lawyers if getting Chief Justice Earl Warren to cosign the declaration would make a difference. The lawyers responded that Warren's signature would have no legal effect but might be useful for political cover.
This remained secret until after Nixon's resignation when the Post and the Times reported the story under the category of "White House horrors." Fortunately, the antiwar movement and Black Panthers could not join forces and work together.
The chosen option covered what would happen if the military encountered organized resistance. This involved the use of camps for which land had been purchased under the provisions of the McCarran Act of 1950 but for which only one camp had been built, that in a remote section of the Pennsylvania mountains. Its existence was a secret until Robert Mardian, one of Nixon's people, revealed it in congressional testimony in 1971.
I bring this up only because during the Rodney King insurrection in South Central Los Angeles in 1992, when the military arrived on the scene, a 48 hour clock started to tick. Had organized resistance appeared and continued for 48 hours, FEMA camps would have been placed on alert to receive the inhabitants of South Central. Fortunately, once the Army arrived, everybody decided to behave. The thing to remember is that contingency plans have been in place since 1968 to handle multiple insurrections should they occur.

If the mobs turn to the use of firearms, proceed to take and hold ground, and successfully resist military forces in an organized manner, the 1968 option goes to the head of the list.
I can’t believe what I am seeing on TV.
Really can’t believe it.
This is deja vu 1968.
The next step in that year’s playbook was assassinations.
I don’t fear the CCP “novel coronavirus”.
I do fear THIS virus, but I will face that fear with faith and pray for fortitude to do WHATEVER IS NECESSARY to put it down like a rabid dog.
The Secret Service has surrounded the White House in riot gear.
This is surreal.— thebradfordfile™ (@thebradfordfile) May 30, 2020
He should put it to the governors of each state to either control them - or not to control them. Except in DC, it’s not a federal problem.
Much of this has little to do with Floyd. This is organized, and manipulated by subversive Communist, globalist and extreme leftist organizations. The past 4 years they’ve repeatedly failed to undermine and criminally over-throw Trump...The Russian hoax, the epic impeachment fraud, Covid-19 used to destroy Trump’s historic economy etc, etc. And now that the Corona virus waning, it’s now coast to coast riots, chaos, looting, arson.
Yes, and why do you think firearm sales are so high.
Honestly I don’t know what is going on now at 11:45pm. I’ve been skipping around several channels...
I totally agree with you. This is organized and orchestrated
Call out the troops. If that fails, call out the citizens.
Hi Jim,
These people have been in rebellion since the sixties. The communists have quietly poisoned our culture by taking over the federal courts. This enabled them to take over our universities and with them the culture. Because of culture the communists now hold all the parapets of federal power and many of the states. It is my opinion the federal military will not follow Trump’s orders to put down this rebellion. Assuming he ever utters them.
This is an attempt to start a civil war and those responsible need to be taken down with lethal force if necessary.
Yup!
Well said, Jim!
The LIEberals are making a grievous, potentially fatal miscalculation FRom the standpoint of garnering support for their cause, whatever it is!
They are burning and looting LIEberal cities!
NOT the way to make FRiends and influence people!
Even the most cold-blooded LIEberal HAS to be turned off by these criminals!
And, fer shure, fer shure NO Independent or Conservative will be drawn to their side as a result of this lawlessness!
Watching the looting in Minneapolis on Fox...lots of the looters appear to be white.
Does anyone here know if the president is at the White House tonight?
There is no way on earth the Secret Service will allow the building to be breached. There could be some dead rioters if they push this too far.
This has gone way beyond a ‘protest’. Organized rebellion is right. It has to be stopped. The fabric of the country is unraveling very fast over a lot of things.
On Hannity, Bongino said that if the terrorists think the Secret Service at the White House will stand down like the cops did in other cities, they’re in for a rude awakening.
Can they drop a fog of cyanide or something on the group? Just kidding ... sort of.
That’s how I see it also.
Good call!
This is exactly what the Democrats wanted: Revenge for losing the Civil War in 1865
