Countdown to Chaos? Dangerous Weeks Before Inauguration

Frank J. Gaffney; Gatestone Institute

. . ."Collectively, we can bring to bear the kind of "situational awareness" that can help detect and expose the potential for harm before it is inflicted." . . .

"While much national attention is on the first 100 days of the Trump 2.0 presidency, there is growing reason to be concerned about the final days of Joe Biden's term.

"Among those with a powerful interest in disrupting the peaceful transfer of power to a new Trump administration are: the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), world government globalists, Sharia-supremacists, deep state bureaucrats and assorted homegrown and foreign-enabled terrorists, jihadists, and other revolutionaries.

"These hostile forces' ability to create chaos in the United States – especially collectively – cannot safely be ignored.

"The Chinese Communist Party, since May 2019, has been telling the people of China that their country is at war with the US. And the CCP has for years been preparing for a shooting conflict in the Western Pacific, as well as, over the past two years, inserting tens of thousands of its military personnel into the United States. Their mission could well be to carry out attacks on the US electric grids, transportation, communications, water resources and as much other critical infrastructure as possible. They have not been sent to vacation at the Grand Canyon.

"Whether Chinese Emperor Xi Jinping will pull the trigger in the immediate future will probably be a function of his pressing economic, political and demographic challenges at home and the prospect of the replacement of his controlled asset, Joe Biden, by his nemesis, Donald Trump.

. . . "As the federal government may for the next few weeks be part of the problem, it will fall to liberty-loving states to pursue six steps that can help mitigate this dangerous situation:

1. Raise awareness of the existence of threats.
2. Crowdsource information about the whereabouts and status of potentially hostile elements.
3. Enhance personal and community preparedness.
4. Heighten the readiness of the National Guard, constitutional sheriffs, other state and local law enforcement.
5. Protect critical infrastructure and likely targets.
6. Plan for contingencies, such as any effort to respond to chaos-inducing events with a declaration of martial law and efforts to postpone the inauguration. . . .
