United States Congress Cancels Thursday Session due to 'Militia' Threat

The US House has decided to cancel a Thursday Session after the United States Capitol Police reported they were aware of a "possible plot to breach the Capitol by an identified militia group." The Senate however has decided to remain in sessions despite the threat. Supposedly the militia plot has something to do with QAnon and a plot to put Trump back in power on March 4th. Currently law enforcement is investigating to see if there any corroboration of this plot with hotel or airline records. Anywho, whatever the threat is, clearly it is far more formidable then the alleged threats on Inauguration Day and clearly can overpower not just the Capitol Police but also the five thousand National Guard troops that are still deployed to Washington D.C.

USA Today said:

Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin, D-Ill., told reporters he had heard "rumors" about March 4 but had not been briefed on threats. "In light of what we went through on Jan. 6, it's understandable that people are concerned," he said.

Though the decisions in both chambers might appear to be contradictory, "I'm not going to second-guess Speaker Pelosi," he said. "At this point, Sen. Schumer has not released the same conclusion."

This is blatantly the media stirring up a threat for the Dems to respond to, because no one with any brains takes QAnon seriously anymore.

It's a boggieman for the Dems to use to justify all sorts of shit now.

It feels like it's pointless to expect sanity, reason, or anything good to come from DC for...well, no one knows. Biden is a blatant puppet looking for war in Syria, it's the worst mix of Bush neocon BS and Dem hypocrisy. All while the Dems are out try to get Trump supporters labelled as domestic terrorist for knowing they stole the election.

Watching the Dems complaining that Biden is worse than Trump is one of the only bright spots we have these days.

Yeah, there is no way there is any serious chance of this happening. The left just wants to manufacture a sense of fear over right wing extremists that don’t exist.

Thousands of National Guardsman, a number of whom have probably served in foreign countries with actual no-shit insurgencies going on, fencing and humvees supporting them, the Capitol Police, the DC Police, Marines based in the city itself, and forewarning about a threat...A threat that is one-step removed from being a 4chan meme?

This is sounding suspiciously like a made-up bullshit excuse for the House to not get Americans their $2000.

Anyone 'member riots being the language of the unheard?
'Member protests need to make people uncomfortable to be effective?
'Member how militarized police and investigating people for protesting are bad?
'Member how insurance would cover it?
'Member?

Seriously, this looks like little more than an optics ploy. Damaged, of course, by the Senate not taking up the cause for whatever reason...And for it being lawmakers just pussing out despite the literal weapons of war and dedicated government agencies protecting them in ways that civilians never had whenever rioting came to them in the past.

So... The ku klux klan, proud boys, and three percenters? Are they not right wing, not extremist, or non existent?

It seems a bit odd to blame the media for the content of intelligence bulletins put out by US capital police, the FBI and DHS. They also are more concerned by actions discussed specifically by the three percenters rather than anything relating to the q idiocy.

The KKK haven’t been relevant for at least twenty years, the proud boys are larpers and I’ve never heard of the three percenters. Get back to me when they plant a couple dozen bombs and kill hundreds of people. Oh wait they’ll be made university professors if they do that instead of arrested.

So, they do exist, they are right wing and they are extremist... But we should just ignore the potential problem until it's the biggest problem?

Might as well ignore it. It'll provide equity for the consistent normalization of violence we've seen from the Left directed at the Right ever since Trump announced his candidacy back in 2015 and has continued forward until now. 💩

The KKK are right wing extremists, but for all practical purposes they don’t exist. The Proud Boys aren’t extremists by any stretch of the imagination, they’re barely even right wing. I’d never heard of Three Percenters before, so I’ll say like the Klan, they are essentially nonexistent, likely not extremists either.

Of course, there are real right wing extremists out there, rare as they may be. But the idea of right wing extremism that exists in the mind of the left is mythical. People on the far right are rare, they are overwhelmingly peaceful, and they are no significant threat to society. As opposed the left wing extremists which are a true danger to the nation.

The three percenters are a group of people (a fairley large group) that all share the common aspect that during the revolution, only three percent fought the British.
They are basically a militia more then a terror group.
They also had members at the Jan 6th, but the group themselves are not apart of it.

What does the militant arm of the Democrat Party have to do with this?

proud boys,

A group that almost exclusively exists to get into street fights with Antifa. I could see them potentially mutate into something dangerous down the road, but thus far, the only member I recall who actually started a fight got kicked out and arrested.

I've never actually heard of the Three Percenters, so I couldn't say about them. I'd guess they're tiny to the point of being irrelevant given I've not heard of them, but that's just a guess, I might be wrong.

As opposed to the Antifa and BLM thugs that terrorized the streets of the nation for months, killing dozens and causing billions in damage.

Yeah, definitely those right-wing extremists you've got to watch out for. They're certainly the ones with a proven track record in the last year of burning buildings down and trying to kill people. And looting. And having sympathetic political allies in government get them off scot free.

The media keep trying to label the Proud Boys as racists, but their leader is black.

Incidentally, anyone every hear what happened with his bullshit arrest on Jan 6th?

House cancels Thursday session after police warn of 'possible plot to breach the Capitol'

The threat comes two months after the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol by supporters of Donald Trump who believed the election was stolen from him.

Four members of one of the many KKK splinters meets in a bar. One is an undercover fed, two are paid informants, one is the town drunk. PATCON and COINTELPRO destroyed the second clan as a functioning organization.

The Proud Boys are yesterday's classically liberal civic nationalists and therefore deplorable. As much as it pains me as a monarchists, like the Tsarists in Russia, we will have to work with the Liberals against the Reds. We just hope for a better end. That being said, their brand of street theatre is just that, theatre.

I guess being an oldfart gives me an advantage here. The Three Percent movement is a subset of the Militia movement, who take their name from the idea that only three percent of the American Colonists took up arms against their King, which is more or less true according to standard historiography, as far as it goes. They are the hardline of the older 90s right whose motto is 'no more Wacos'. They were involved, as individuals, in the Bureau of Land Management scuffles in the Northwest under Obama, but they are a unorganized, leaderless movement, more of an ideological cadre who act as thought leaders in the wider Militia scene. Also classical liberal civic nationalists.

I think it very much is an optics ploy, but more than just that. Its just one brick in a massive narrative building scheme. What's the narrative for?
We all know that democrats want to institute extraordinary measures regarding limiting political speech and political activism they find inconvenient. Even to justify this to their own less hardline sympathizers, they do need a narrative of extraordinary threat to justify such extraordinary measures. And that narrative is that there is a fascist right wing militia insurrectionist hiding behind every tree and bidding his moment. Which is why there's more troops deployed in D.C now than in Afghanistan and Iraq combined. This is an obvious and visible sign meant to convince the public that the establishment is acting as if the above is true, in order to plant the suggestion that perhaps it is.

Democrats have been fearmongering about the imminent wave of ring wing militia violence that's going to break out any day now for 30 years and counting, and the last time the were allowed to act on that utterly baseless fearmongering, hundreds of people died. So yes, they should in fact be ignored, particularly when they're throwing a fit about a group that effectively doesn't exist, a group that only exists to get into street fights with groups the democrats refuse to acknowledge exist, and another group that effectively doesn't exist.

Well great. Now if an attack actually happens, my default assumption is going to be that it's a false flag.
