The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

“Thankfully, (the weapons) were not used on January 6, but nevertheless they show a degree of planning, and preparation, and sophistication,”

And the leader of the Oath Keepers was one of the people Trump directed "Stand back and stand by" to in the debate. Roger Stone talked to Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, and some of that is on video tape. I think this supported the "something big is gonna happen" in the FB groups I was in. I remember needling them by saying - "Hey! When is the something big gonna happen?... I don't see anything big at all. Nothin! I mean wacha gonna do? You gonna keep saying that forever? It's gonna be like WMD in Iraq?"

Then when Jan 6 did happen, I was was getting videos of people staying within velvet roped lines and looking at everything around them. They seemed respectful and awe struck, then the footage came of the violence outside - Holy Sh!!!. Those FB groups were shut down as we grappled with what actually happened that day and the run up to it. It took a while to piece it together enough to realize what transpired.

In the Chennault Affair, prior to the election Nixon had Haldermen contact Chenault to talk to the Vietnam ambassador, requesting that they not agree to LBJ's plan to end the war. There was no direct proof that Nixon had directed that until Halderman's notes were opened in 2007.
