Excerpt from https://www.commondreams.org/views/2...m_medium=Email

A few things are clear.

One is that the Washington, D.C. mayor, and other D.C. public officials, explicitly requested that the federal government coordinate law enforcement efforts in the city and on the scene, and that these requests, made weeks ago, were ignored.

A second is that orders were given in advance by federal authorities that federal national guard forces should stand by but not deploy, should not be armed, and should not engage any violence if deployed, etc. In other words, someone in the Executive Branch, presumably the Secretary of the Army, clearly anticipated the possibility of deployment and sought to forestall it, and limit its effectiveness, in advance.

A third is that, as Maryland’s Republican Governor Larry Hogan has very publicly stated, when the Pentagon was phoned by him, as per procedure, to authorize the deployment of Maryland National Guard, he received no response for almost two hours, and then received a rushed response outside of normal channels.

In short, while the insurrection was going on, and Hogan had National Guard troops ready to deploy, and requested proper authorization, he was denied authorization. The Pentagon refused to authorize National Guard deployment for almost two hours while the Capitol building was being rampaged by rioters. There were decisions taken to produce this “nondecision.” There are authorities, and institutions, who were clearly responsible for non-action in the protection of the Congress and the enforcement of federal law.

There is complicity here at the highest level. And a kind of collusion, between the relevant Pentagon officials and, on the one hand, their insurrection-instigating boss, and on the other hand the rampaging mob, who were allowed free reign on federal property by federal forces.

This must be addressed because at this moment the county is in the hands of people who colluded with these terrorist groups.

I read somewhere yesterday that T---p gutted DHS's watchdog group which rings the alarm bells on high-watch National Security issues.

I also think this is a rally call to scholars in the field of Sociology, with cartography experience, in mapping the sequence of events which have transpired since T---p was installed at the 45th president.

How long was it, after he(TP) gutted the watch dog group until the acts of sedition took place? I feel confident that by mapping out each event with what transpired before (ie, firing key personnel, gutting executive branch special offices that blow the whistle on key serious issues, etc) one can see the real picture of how TP accomplished such horrendous acts of sedition.

If I ever come across a fantastic article which explains it better than I can or find a video which speaks to these very issues, I will post it.

But I think Sociological Cartography can be utilized as a forensic tool of discovery to build an air-tight case that explains how TP and bad actors helped bring these acts of sedition to pass.

Thanks for your post Cin, issued by Common Dreams. I agree: TP didn't do this alone. He had help and key GOP/Retrumplican's aided and abetted TP each day he has been in office.
