Virginia 2A Rally 20 JAN 2020

[SecurityGuy42 622]

Been busy again.  Work, cleaning my gear and weapons, rotating older rations, repacking my gear, etc....

 

The people of Virginia do need to be at the forefront of anything that happens at the rally on Monday.  It is their state and they have to live with the consequences of what ever happens.  The VCDL has asked for at least 10,000 attendees to show up unarmed and fill to bursting the fenced in (caged) area in front of the speakers.  They also asked for 2-10 times that number surrounding the fence armed and ready for anything that occurs.  Then the media can't say no one attended.  There will be cameras EVERYWHERE on the patriot side, leftists, media, and law enforcement.  So if a false flag is pulled it will be on multiple cameras from multiple angles.  I watched a video this morning that DAHBOO 7 is going to be there broadcasting live.  Alex Jones is going to be there with his armored truck and a security detail. 

 

Supposedly local VA Antifa has said they will be joining the patriots in standing against the gun control at the Rally.  But I live by the dictum "Never trust or believe a communist".  So I would still keep a close eye on them.

 

Everyone is worried about optics at the event to paint the militia in a bad light.  Guess what, they will do it any way even if they have to do it in editing by adding things to the footage before airing.  I do recommend that if anyone sees people with nazis flags to get a group together and confront them to have them removed.  As for Confederate flags.... well, Virginia was the capital of the Confederacy.  I personally do not support it and believe that should be a VCDL choice on that one. 

 

Imagine the optics of Militia (Gadsen flag flying behind them) and Antifa (with their flag) shaking hands after removing skinheads, KKK, and neo nazis from the Rally together peacefully.  And then blasting the footage of that EVERYWHERE.  To the point Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and other pundits have to cover it.  To the point where the media has to cover it truthfully because of all the phone and camera footage of the event happening from multiple angles.  That would be a MAJOR media relations victory for the Militia and a massive defeat for the Deep State.

Now they are pushing the parking for the event 5 miles away!!

 

Multiple Attendee Restrictions In Virginia

 

 

 

[Doug1943 1,614]

I won't take up bandwidth quoting the previous post but I agree with every word.

 

Friends, we are in a slow war.  We have to think like people in combat against a deadly enemy.  Ordinary thinking won't be enough.  We have to be tactical, and strategic.

 

In a war, you try to deceive the enemy.  You try to get him to attack before he's ready, and in the wrong place, and at the wrong time.  You run disinformation operations to deceive him, to try to get him to react, to try to get him to reveal where he has positioned his artillery and other crew-served weapons.

 

And they try to do the same to us.

 

In the Pacific, the Japanese used firecrackers to simulate a heavy assault at night, hoping to get our machine guns to fire and reveal their positions.  The smart thing to do was to hold fire.   This meant being disciplined, and waiting for the order to fire from someone up the chain of command, who was getting reports from many sources, including from observers who could see things the machine gun team could not see.

 

That's how we have to behave in this war we are going into.

 

It's NOT like how you should react in a liquor store when a robber walks in -- there you have to make a quick decision, but even there, as that guy who does all the self-defense videos says, you have to "wait your turn" ... wait until the bad guys are distracted ... and then shoot with deliberation ..."everyone gets served once before anyone gets served twice " when there is more than one bad guy.

 

The point is, we've got to think things through.  I hope there is never a civil war in America, but if there is, the outcome will be determined not so much by the actual armed engagements, but by how skillfully, in the years leading up to it, our side has behaved politically -- to unite as many people as possible behind us, to pull as many people away from the other wide into a neutral posture, to do as much as possible to make sure the police and ABOVE ALL THE MILITARY are not solidly on the other side ... which means not just reacting to provocations.  (Every patriot under 36 who has not done military service should, if it is at all possible, enlist NOW in the National Guard, or sign up for ROTC if they're in college. This is so obvious, that anyone who can and who doesn't, is just playing.)

 

What our side lacks right now is a cool determined far-sighted leadership.  Most of the old Republican Party leadership can't see beyond business-as-usual: They win, we win, they win, we win.  They don't understand that things have changed, and are changing even more rapidly.  It's not JFK's Democratic Party any  more. It's not even Bill Clinton's.  Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders will look like moderates in ten years.

 

On our side,  Donald Trump has both virtues and grievous faults, but he is not the leader we must eventually have.   He's not trying to cultivate a new leadership from among his supporters. He's not trying to build an organization that can take over the Republican Party from within and transform it into the political party that we need. That leadership -- not just one individual -- has to come from the ranks of patriots who have not been engaged actively in politics before.  How this might happen, I don't  know.

 

We'll see on Monday whether our side has the self-control not to fall for the provocateurs  and hot-heads who want us to break fire discipline.

Does anyone know of any news stories from a trusted source verifying the use of "Hired and armed ANTIFA" and "hired armed people wearing Swastikas"? Because I can't find anything. Just wondering.

[DawyneB 184]

I havent as of yet found anything outside of that to verify if what i shared is legit or not. I hope that it might turn out to be incorrect info and might be false but as mentioned if any other eyes could help verify this it would be great.  Matt in West Virginia thanks for the heads up.

We're going to Virginia Lobby Day Jan 20

I did find this article about the group wanting to be there but it does not mention that they would be armed though. https://www.lawenforcementtoday.com/antifa-offers-to-march-with-gun-rights-groups-at-virginia-2a-rally-gun-rights-groups-no-thank-you

It's funny how they mention a device that allows you to fire more than one bullet at a time.  That is physically impossible through one barrell not counting shotguns firing multiple projectiles as shot.  Just shows how ignorant these antis truly are regarding firearms.....

So very true. But keep in mind most of them likely sit behind a computer screen playing video games so this concept is not too far fetched for them. but in reality it does show their ignorance.

Well? This was the OLD plan (2 days old) 

 

22 hours ago, Matt In West Virginia said:

"Buses will be parked in an area north of Broad Street, and will remain in that location until they are re-boarded for the trip home. It will be a short walk down the hill to the Capitol Square, about 4 to 6 blocks. RPD officers will guide you across Broad Street and will stop traffic as necessary for pedestrian crossing."

 

This is the Capital Square (Capital Grounds) Area:

 

This shows all the possible parking described by eventbrite:

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — Thousands are expected to gather in Richmond for Lobby Day Monday, and traffic could be hectic.

Police are closing several roads in downtown Richmond from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to allow dozens of buses to pick up and drop off people attending Lobby Day.

 

The following streets will be closed:

• Broad Street from 7th Street to 11th Street
• 9th Street from Cary Street to Marshall Street 
• Main Street from 9th Street to 14th Street will be closed.

 

 

VCU also notified students that parking lots M, R and A will be closed Monday.

“Individuals who use those lots should instead park at the 8th Street deck and N lot. VCU parking lots will be open only to subscribers and not the general public”

The road closures will affect several GRTC bus routes, including the Pulse.

 

“The most significant changes that we’ve had to make are with some of our most popular routes because they do operate through downtown Richmond, including on some of the streets that are going to be closed on Monday,” said Carrie Rose Pace, Director of Communications for GRTC.

 

Three GRTC Pulse stops will be closed Monday:

• Government Center East
• Government Center West 
• VCU Medical Center East (VCU Medical Center West will remain open)

 

“I think the biggest challenge is to our customers who have to work or get to the hospital or do normal daily things on a Monday. When we have this type of significant impact in the city, it impacts an average person’s daily routine,” Rose Pace said.

The following GRTC routes will be detoured:

• Pulse (Eastbound): from Broad St., buses turn right on 5^th St., left on Cary St., left on 14^th St., right on Main St. and resume regular routing. The following stations are closed and not served: Government Center East and VCU Medical Center East.
• Pulse (Westbound): from 14^th St., buses turn left on Broad St. and serve VCU Medical Center West, then turn right on 11^th St., left on Leigh St., right on 8^th St., left on Jackson St., left on 5^th St., right on Broad St. and resume regular routing. The Government Center West station is closed and not served.
• 1A/B/C (Southbound): from Broad St., buses turn right on 5^th St., left on Cary St., right on 14^th St. and resume regular routing.
• 1A/B/C (Northbound): from 14^th St., buses turn left on Broad St., right on 11^th St., left on Leigh St. and resume regular routing.
• 2A/B/C (Southbound): from Broad St., buses turn right on 5^th St., left on Cary St., right on 8^th St. and resume regular routing.
• 2A/B/C (Northbound): from Manchester Bridge (9^th St.), buses turn left on Canal St., right on 7^th St., left on Broad St. and resume regular routing.
• 5 (Eastbound): from Cary St., buses turn left on 7^th St., right on Marshall St., left on 9^th St., and serve Bay J at the Temporary Transfer Plaza.
• 5 (Westbound): from Leigh St., buses turn left on 3^rd St., right on Main St. and resume regular routing.
• 7A/B (Westbound): from Broad St., buses turn right on 11^th St., left on Marshall St., right on 9^th St., and serve Bay I at the Temporary Transfer Plaza.
• 7A/B (Eastbound): from Bay I on 9^th St. at the Temporary Transfer Plaza, buses turn left on Leigh St., left on 8^th St., left on Marshall St., right on College St., left on Broad St. and resume regular routing.
• 12 (Westbound): from Leigh St., buses turn right on 8^th St., left on Jackson St., left on 5^th St., right on Broad St. and resume regular routing.
• 12 (Eastbound): regular routing; buses use Bay M on Leigh St. at the Temporary Transfer Plaza.
• 14 (Eastbound): from Cary St., buses turn left on 14^th St., right on Main St. and resume regular routing.
• 14 (Westbound): from Main St., buses turn left on 14^th St., right on Canal St., right on 4^th St. and resume regular routing.
• 39 (End of Line): regular routing; buses use Bay L on Leigh St. at the Temporary Transfer Plaza.

GRTC is asking riders for patience with the changes.

“When we go on detour, then we’re off of our normal planned schedule so there can be delays,” Rose Pace said.

VCU sent out an alert warning employees, students, patients and visitors to allow extra travel time.

‘No parking’ signs for Monday are already up in some spots like 8th Street in Downtown Richmond.

Kind of looks like the VCDL may have been listening and now realizes this is more than they are used to.  Good for them calling for people armed and ready to defend those inside the cage.  I pray it won't be required though.

 

For the one looking for official announcements about armed Antifa showing up, you won't find that in any mainstream media source.  But local law enforcement has been getting the word out to alternative media and they have been reporting it.

No, this is a video from a Gent in VA.  It was posted up over at AR15.com  

 

Thought it was worth sharing.  

 

... Plus I'm a clergyman... I can't be using language like that hahaha.

[Matthew M 30]

 Waste of resources.  I am going to the square tonight to do the same thing. I am going to evaluate the safest place to be outside the square.  I am going tomorrow to be supportive and exercise my rights, not be sitting in some false flag killbox.

As an everyday, blue collar worker, I have been a lawful citizen. I keep to my business.  I’m not a gun enthusiast. In fact, the only guns I have bought were for my kids for hunting.  I’ve been asleep. I’m awake now. 

Never have I been so concerned for the safety of the people as I am now.  
I will be buying guns to secure my own liberty, and if need be, the security of those around me.  This is terrifying that this situation in Virginia could escalate to an all out war against the citizens who rally tomorrow.  My prayers are with everyone there in attendance.  May God have mercy on us all, and may he change the hearts of those in office making these egregious decisions for the state of Virginia.  

[Bergmeister 45]

Well, we are going to see in a few hours how far Gov. Blackface will go to oppress Americans.  I would not want to be him right now although a little makeup might help him should he need a quick escape.

[631 Patriot 131]

@ Bergmeister , ? And how do you figure that? The feds are all over it. Knocking on people's doors who they looked suspicious..... They are also bringing a rook and Antifa is said to show up there..... I think that you missed some information.....
