Enjoy the tech surveillance state, my friends. Keep an eye on this. They will totally use this against minorities and leftists. This isn’t a red brown thing, it’s basic fact. Once they get comfortable dealing with right wing morons they’ll think, “hey, we can use these tactics on anyone that disagrees.” And they will. They already are in the Middle East.

    I don't think the Capitol Hill Riots were orchestrated for this purpose, but the MIC sure knows how to take advantage of such crises. They saw the opportunity to ramp up surveillance rather than just increasing it step by step and they took it.

    Just like with everything else. The 'Deep State' doesn't control Trump. It just takes advantage of his incompetence. Now, Biden...that's a different matter.

      I'm with you here. But there are some smoking guns that remain a bit unexplained, like Ayana Pressley's panic buttons being removed from her office days before the attack, the friendliness or possibly outright coordination between the police and the stormers. Idk what to make of it exactly. I still don't think it was "orchestrated" but it seems the answer lies somewhere in the middle. Idk.
