Here goes:

It seems that lots of pressure was exerted for this speech to be made. This speech was a timed and coordinated action. It was not the usual trump the president or trump speaking at a rally. It was meant to sound formal presidential. It was also very brief and covered the major issues.

The mist import part is the opening condemnation of the attack on the capitol. He takes responsibility for the deployment of the troops. This is interesting, as twitter was filled with rumors he did not deploy the military. Taking responsibility like this is usually done to show unity in the face of international and domestic perception, but more importantly to reassure the military itself that no conflict exists. The fact he mentions it, is a big red flag.

He uses the word “infiltrated” to describe the attack with the phrase  “the demonstrators who infiltrated the capitol” probably referencing the infiltration of the movement. He then makes a clear distinction between the people who carried out the attack and to those “who broke the law”. Suggesting the existence of two separate entities, possibly referring to the organizers of the attack.

“those who engaged in the acts of violence and destruction, you do not represent our country. And to those who broke the law, you will pay.”

He clarifies that he “vigorously pursued every legal avenue to “contest” the election. “fighting to defend American democracy”. This is the first time he speaks about exhausting all the legal means available. No use or mention of the word fraud was made.

He calls for unity and calm, makes an emphasis on the civic values of “patriotism, faith, charity and family” which is a direct attack on the entire democratic election platform.

He refers to a new administration that “will be inaugurated January 20th” and that his focus “now shifts towards a smooth orderly and seamless transition of power”.  The word seamless is very interesting but open to interpretation

He makes an interesting distinction between “citizens of this country” and “to my wonderful supporters.” Sating that “Our incredible journey is just beginning.” Which references a lot of q lore intentionally or unintentionally.

What he didn’t say:

At no point in the speech does he use the word concede. He also makes no mention the dead air force veteran or the medias 4 reported casualties. There was loss of life in the event, but he does not acknowledge it, or offer condolences to any families, therefore not taking responsibility for the attack, avoiding a negative event.

He does not make mention to a “biden” administration or making a concession to a “president biden”. He does not congratulate or make any reference to Uncle joe winning the election. He only describes it as an act that congress recognizes. Also he does not wish the “new administration” luck in any of their endeavors.

Trump does not use the word China when describing the pandemic. Uses the neutral word “pandemic” all through out. He does not mention the “fake news media.” He also does not say make America Great Again, and refers to getting back to “the business of America.”

What it is

Technically this is a concession speech. Though most of the media is not treating it as such. Its language is interesting. It is definitely intended as a message to restore peace and to keep the civilian conflict from escalating. It reassures the general population leaving much of its content open to interpretation by both sides, as people in both camps can read into it and interpret what they want to hear.

Operationally, it keeps patriots from engaging in violence and falling into democrat false flags. Its overall purpose seems to be preventing an escalation. Right now the communists are dictating the conditions and the tempo of the violence. Trumps position is prudent.

Politically, it keeps congress happy. It keeps twitter happy since it wasn’t flagged. It differs in in intensity from his earlier Twitter message which was published in the official Scavino feed. Evidently there was great pressure exerted in the writing if this speech. This pressure came from having to address the possibility of civilian violence, and also to address congress’ threat of invoking the 25th amendment or a new Impeachment.

Interestingly the original stand down video message was removed from twitter so the MSM could vilify the attack and assign blame to trump. This speech was meant to address this situation, but it was not its priority as his earlier twitter message on the scavino feed makes no mention of the attack.

This is the earlier text:

“Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless there will be an orderly transition on January 20th. I have always said we would continue our fight to ensure that only legal votes were counted. While this represents the end of the greatest first term in presidential history, it’s only the beginning of our fight to Make America Great Again!”

Evidently the televised speech was watered down, and meant to be formal. This us the text of the current speech:

“I would like to begin by addressing the heinous attack on the United states Capitol. Like all Americans i am outraged by the violence, lawlessness and mayhem. I immediately deployed the national guard and federal law enforcement to secure the building and expel the intruders. America is and must always be a nation of law and order.

The demonstrators who infiltrated the Capitol have defiled the seat of American democracy. To those who engaged in the acts of violence and destruction, you do not represent our country. And to those who broke the law, you will pay.

We have just been through an intense election and emotions are high but now tempers must be cooled, and calm restored. We must get on with the business of America.

“My campaign vigorously persued every legal avenue to contest the election results. My only goal was to ensure the integrity of the vote. In so doing, I was fighting to defend American democracy.
I continue to strongly believe that we must reform our election laws to verify the identity and eligibility of all voters, and to insure faith and confidence in all future elections.

Now congress has certified the results. A new administration will be inaugurated on January 20th. My focus now turns to ensuring a smooth, orderly and seamless transition of power. This moment calls for healing and reconciliation.

2020 has been a challenging time for our people. A menacing pandemic has upended the lives of our citizens, isolated millions in their homes, damaged our economy and claimed countless lives. Defeating this pandemic and rebuilding tje greatest economy on earth strongest economy on earth will require all of us working together. It will require a renewed emphasis on the civic values of patriotism, faith, charity community and family. We must revitalize the sacred bonds of love and loyalty that bind us together as one national family.

To the citizens of our 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 to know that our incredible journey is inly just beginning.

Thank you, God bless you and God bless America.”

The DNI Ratcliffe report

The Assessment on Foreign Interference in 2020 Election was delivered to congress late last night. The timing is very interesting, as trump could have delivered it at anytime before the 6th. Funny enough, it was delivered after congress approved the results, and Trump has made no mention of this report in any of his speeches.

It is a message, as congress got carried away certifying the election and he let them committed high treason. The problem here is that no judicial or legal authority is willing to act in the findings.

Military Force

At this stage in the disaster, the only way to resolve the election fraud is military force. And the DNI reports and the eO’s aside technically it is a coup if the military throws down since congress has made a full session certifying the results. Congress has sanctified the election, be it legal or not.

Legally Trump is obliged to defend the Constitution. The military is obliged to follow his orders until he steps down. Legally the military has to step in during an act if war. And the international interference makes these actions an act if war.

Politically, the military is in a rather big grey area. The only legal mechanism backing a military action would be trumps executive orders, the DNI report, and their own investigations and the oath. This can be seen as a unilateral executive action, and it would be heavily frowned upon, because trump has to take EVERYTHING down: Medua, Congress, SCOTUS, State level democrats in several jurisdictions.

So the speech is either:

a.- Trump lost military support. SecDef Harris tweeted support for the transition earlier, and was possibly flipped, or there is no support from the military ranks.

b.- This is a ruse.

c.- The plan has been neutralized.

No plan survives first contact. What ever trump’s strategy is, a lot of people gave turned on him. Personally I don’t think trump is crazy or incompetent. They have suffered losses and they are having to adapt to a fluid situation.

The only way to fix this is to go full Abe Lincoln. This requires real unquestioning military support. So long as the military is on board with him this works. If not, its plan b, and the population has to act, as they are the last safeguard in the constitution. Patriots are organizing groups all over country and they are pissed. If the capitol attack has done anything, it has emboldened people to take serious action.

Fortunately we are in the final “two weeks” of the debacle and we will finally know what the hell has been going in behind closed doors. There are two ways to do this, preemptively interrupt the inauguration, or to wait for the hostilities to kick off. For now Trump has stood down the MAGA army, that means he is going to do something. If nothing happens, this thing will take a life of its own because all it takes to knock joe down of his thrown is a color revolution. And if that fails, it will be time to exercise the second amendment. So for now, give trump his 13 days. Then you guys have more time to organize.

If the dems take over they will battle all the red states and the conflict will be political. This is where the population will really get involved. Keep in mind there is no political solution to this, they will just buy you time or one of those conflicts sets this whole thing off.

This is a very dangerous juncture in history, as the population just needs a few sparks to go into open insurrection. Regardless if trump was vanquished, or betrayed, he has done the impossible, he united 80 million people and woke them from their slumber. He showed them exactly what has to be done and if he were to be removed, everyone knows what to do.

Ocasio-Cortez's comms director asked Twitter to bar users from sharing one of AOC's previous tweets in support of protests that make people "uncomfortable."
