National Guard troops on standby in Washington state, Oregon and Nevada as a precaution for ‘potential’ election unrest

Ahead of potential civil unrest due to Tuesday’s presidential election, the National Guard is on standby as a precaution in several states, including Washington state and Oregon, where hundreds of ballots were damaged or destroyed after at least three ballot drop boxes were recently set on fire, officials say.

Almost all the ballots set ablaze on Monday were in a drop box in Vancouver, Washington, while most ballots in a drop box in Portland, Oregon, survived a fire set the same day, election officials said. The incidents are believed to be connected to a third fire on October 8, also in Vancouver. Portland police released a physical description of a suspect but said they’ve not identified him.

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee addressed the ballot box fires in a news release Friday announcing the National Guard being placed on standby, saying, “The southwest region of Washington state has already experienced specific instances of election-related unrest.”

Inslee did not disclose how many troops would be activated on Tuesday, but said they will be available to support law enforcement from Monday to Thursday, according to the news release.

The US Department of Homeland Security has warned that threats to “election infrastructure” remain high, Inslee added.

“Based upon general and specific information and concerns regarding the potential for violence or other unlawful activity related to the 2024 general election, I want to ensure we are fully prepared to respond to any potential additional civil unrest,” Inslee said.

In Oregon, Gov. Tina Kotek said in a statement Friday the National Guard is standing ready as political leaders call for peaceful protests, according to CNN affiliate KTVZ.

“The governor’s office is closely monitoring and coordinating with local, state and federal agencies to ensure Oregon voters can safely cast their ballot,” the statement said. — CNN

Our Take: We made it, friends. D-Day 2024.

On a recent episode of Liberty Den, I told the story of a dinner I had back in 2015 with my grandparents at their retirement home and an original member of Dog Company, Second Ranger Battalion—the group tasked with ascending the 100+ foot cliffs of Pointe Du Hoc at Normandy on D-Day. The assignment was deemed a "suicide mission" by every military intelligence analyst who reviewed it; yet, they did it anyway.

Today, we climb the cliffs. When we reach the top, we don't know what to expect. We may meet no resistance, and can immediately begin making our way across the French countryside—where we will certainly meet the enemy; or, we may find ourselves overwhelmed with wave after wave of enemy contact, and forced to dig in and fight for every inch as we push inland.

Whatever happens next, there is no reason to be afraid. Anxious? Nervous? Sure. We have waited for this day for many years, counting every minute in grueling anticipation. As General Kwast wisely told me before our interview together: “your nerves indicate that you care, and are deeply invested in the outcome. It's good to be nervous."

We have been given the tools to win this fight by experienced psychological warfare operators—General Michael Flynn and Sergeant Boone Cutler. We have spent years honing our skills, sharpening our senses in sparring (debates) with one another. We have the numbers and the will to win. And most important, we have the truth on our side.

We can do this, regardless of whether any cavalry is coming over the ridge. Perhaps that formless horde that has been amassing on the ridgeline all this time was us all along. Perhaps we (the "future" we—the truth movement) were the White Hats all along, and the delay in all of this has simply been the time it has taken for us to realize that. Perhaps the group of patriots that many have come to believe are coming to save us was really just our own reflection looking back at us.

However...

Maybe the ships will pull into the harbor, and the Ghost Army will come pouring out, and devour our enemy whole.

Maybe...

[from ZeroHedge]

In 2020, Oregon deployed the National Guard and a unified command for election security, and recently, states have increasingly activated the Guard for cybersecurity during elections, the report concluded.

What I humbly suggest is that we proceed as if we are on our own—we have each other, and that is more than enough to accomplish the task at hand. We can do this.

And if the Ghost Army does show up, then our victory will be that much more substantial. Until then, we climb, then we dig in and wait for the counterattack— which is surely coming. — GhostofBasedPatrickHenry

    BREAKING - FANTASTIC NEWS 🥴: The US military is set to conduct a test launch of a hypersonic nuclear missile hours after polls close on Election Day.

    An unarmed Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) is scheduled to blast off between 11:01pm and 5:01am PT from California's Vandenberg Space Force Base.

    Some Americans have expressed concerns about the nuclear weapon test on the same day as the country is casting their votes for the next president

    But military officials noted that the 'test is routine and was scheduled years in advance.'

    They said the purpose of the test was to show the 'readiness of nuclear US forces' and provide 'confidence in the nation's nuclear deterrence' amid fears of the growing threat of the outbreak of World War III.

    The exercise will see the ICBM travel 4,200 miles from the base to Kwajalein Atoll, a small island in the North Pacific, which will take about 22 minutes.

    The weapon can reach speeds over 15,000 miles per hour, allowing it to hit any target worldwide in just 30 minutes after launch.

    Moscow sits about 5,900 miles from California, while Beijing is about 6,000 miles away - the two nations deemed a threat to the US.

  3. Donald Trump already instigated a violent attempt at insurrection on January 6 2021.

    It is just appropriate precaution to have armed National Guard on standby in case "Somebody" tries another Stunt like that if they refuse to accept the election results.

    The rest of the article is Tin-foil hat stuff.
