Most Organized Pro-Trump Group at the 6 January Protests: Anti-CCP

U.S.A.-(AmmoLand.com)- The fight to restore and retain the most basic freedoms in the United States may be most well understood by people who have experienced oppression in other parts of the world. Most of the world has no First or Second Amendment rights.

The most organized group at the pro-President Trump rally/ stop the steal protest were the Chinese Americans warning against the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). At the Washington Monument, they had pavilions and banners erected praising President Trump and warning against the danger of the Chinese Communist Party. Almost certainly many of those supporting President Trump had directly experienced the totalitarian rule in China. Most had probably lost relatives in the Great Leap Forward.

They could see what was happening in the United States with a clarity lacked by many Americans.

As Trump supporters, patriots, and attendees walked along the Mall toward the Washington Monument, there were many Chinese Americans asking for signatures to oppose the CCP and handing out literature. They were well organized. In perhaps 3/4 of a mile, this reporter saw a dozen couples stationed along the way. This married couple was happy to pose for a photograph.

Closer to the Capitol, this wall of signs protesting the disputed election, and the close ties between former President Joe Biden and the CCP were prominently displayed for all passersby. This sort of display takes planning, forethought, and organization.

The anti-Chinese Communist Party group had an organized car caravan driving around the capitol. Their signage was clear. It took time and efforts to create those signs and organize the caravan.

The spelling on the sign below is less than perfect, but the message is clear.

Those who have lived under the rule of the CCP are warning the citizens of the United States. There were other, smaller, individual protest signs against China Joe as well, displayed by people who did not appear to be from China.

The Chinese Communist Party’s plan to dominate the world and supplant the United States as the foremost world power is now well known. The best, most unified, and clear exposition of that plan is put forward in The Hundred-Year Marathon,  The author is a noted sinologist, who speaks and writes fluent Mandarin. He supported the transfer of wealth and technology to China for decades until he became aware of the Chinese plan to use the largess of the West to supplant the United States as the dominant power in the world. President Trump made the world aware.

There were several smaller groups that had organization and cohesion.

The most prominent was the Proud Boys. As a group, they seemed to have the largest percentage of black and Hispanic members. I did not see them engage in any violence, although they chanted their antipathy toward Antifa.

After the rally/protest/march, this reporter and a correspondent from Italy had a conversation. Max, as the correspondent introduced himself, said the whole world was watching the events in Washington, D.C.

He said the whole world is facing an extinguishment of freedom for the foreseeable future. Your rights, he said, are being taken away in small nibbles, so you do not notice. You give up a little here, a little there, and soon you have no free speech. He said free speech no longer exists in Europe in any real sense.

Other than looking at each one and seeing if it crosses some line, which is what I do when I check the trash, I can’t tell you why that’s happening. Try sending Fredy and e-mail and talking to him about it. He’s the final arbiter. It may be a case of getting caught by the filters.

MM44M,

Fredy shows up fairly frequently in the comments here, his addy is [email protected]. As far as I know we don’t have a fecal roster, If you’re in trouble, you’ll know it. As for length, If you had HUGE comments, they might get caught and then released depending on content. Rambling and incoherence will get a comment busted. Beyond that…I dunno.

freedom to me may be different than freedom to you. my freedoms shouldn’t affect your right to exist nor should your freedoms affect my right to exist. reading some of the post here is embarrassing to me as a veteran and a citizen. bigshots with guns that think their way is the “true” way means nothing and only serves to divide us further.
im guilty of getting into the gutter with some of you, however never start the bullshyt. what does it mean to be a citizen of the “great” nation we know as the USA?

The great nation you refer to has just had the “great” stolen from HER! She will now be referred to as the “USSA” (United Socialist States of America) as of 1-20-21.

If you are not willing to educate yourselves with the history of America and stop watching the COMMUNIST STATE MSM you have no hope of ever having a free life. At least I’m old enough that most of mine was free. Yes, I’m a true patriot, so shoot me for that!!!

Have you read Biden’s documented campaign promises?

Do you think he’s lying?

wil

fear is a powerful motivator. even during an actual “assault weapons” ban nobody came to take your weapons away. true making laws that keep whatever (and i mean whatever ie if i could afford to shoot an m1a2c abrams i want one) weapon law abiding citizens want is silly cause criminals don’t give a hoot about laws. there is still no reason to allow yourself to be spoon fed fear.

JSNMGC

So, you think Joe is lying?

wil

the great part of our democratic republic is no one man issues edicts. especially one that would alter the constitution

JSNMGC

“no one man issues edicts” – that’s correct. However, we now have a majority of Representatives* and a majority of Senators* who want many more gun control laws and a President who has indicated his desire for such laws. I would say concern (based on the facts) is understandable at this juncture and labeling it as fear is propaganda.

*Not just Democrats.

wil

they don’t have enough of a majority to alter the constitution, that would take 2/3rds of the states i think. but think of how instead of both side saying no, we tried to work together to address the real problem

JSNMGC

Don’t have to alter the Constitution. That precedent was established a long time ago.

Regarding addressing the real problem, let me know when you find legislators who are interested in:

  • Improving the dysfunctional micro-culture in high-crime neighborhoods; and
  • Removing violent, mentally-ill people from society by confining them to mental institutions.

well they have outsmarted the public by introducing things to keep the masses divided. if we put aside personal choices that the government should have no say in we could boot those lifelong asses out of office and make change that works for everyone

If the culture changes, the result will change. The taxpayers can’t change the culture.

To say the residents don’t know better is another excuse. They have powerful computers in their hands that are connected to vast amounts of information. There are many success stories for parents to use as examples for their children. Frederick Douglass would be appalled.

Institutionalized preference (discrimination against non-Blacks) needs to go away.

The reparations Dee wants will be like fighting fire with gasoline.

race plays a huge part in the American culture, do you think trump would have been elected had Obama not been president?
ill bet I could go to the most violent neighborhoods and take 10 babies from each, put them in “regular schools” (the ones like you and I went to) teach them to respect themselves as well as others and those kids would excel like any other. that behavior is learned. how can you fix it if you don’t fix the system?

JSNMGC

I agree with the scenario about the babies – that is exactly the point I have been making. It’s not race – it’s the micro-culture people are raised in and that micro-culture can only be changed from within – maybe influencers can be the change agent. That is why Obama was so disappointing – he could have made a big difference, but he was afraid of actually stating the micro-culture created by the people in a depressed situation was their own doing. Instead, he went the way of the race industry and kept them on the voting plantation, claiming their… Read more »

the people holding the steering lever control that wagon. we can push forever but if that wagon is heading for a cliff? I do get your point and it is a valid one, we need to get the wagon going toward greener pastures. part of that means we need to respect each other (first word I can remember asking my dad what it meant).

RoyD

To have my “respect” you are going to have to be worthy of it.

wil

for me you get respect automatically, but to keep it you must be worthy.

RoyD

Perhaps our difference is because for me “acceptance” is different from “respect.” I have come into contact with too many people who have a position in life which they in no way have any business occupying. I can “accept” that but that doesn’t mean they automatically get respect. I also don’t expect any different from other people in regards to me. That is one nice thing about being retired and financially secure; I don’t have to sweat the small stuff or most of the big stuff either for that matter.

Do you agree with Joe that:

  • Broad categories of semiautomatic rifles should be banned from manufacture/sale and that currently owned ones should be registered under the NFA of 1934?
  • Standard capacity magazines should be registered under the NFA of 1934?
  • Firearm manufacturers should be allowed to be sued when their product works correctly?

I don’t see how laws that restrict anything work to get the outcome they are intended to.

Precedent says:

  • You have to turn it in or destroy it without compensation (thanks Don);
  • You have to register it with the Federal government, pay a tax, and you can’t transfer without the new buyer jumping through the same hoops, and if you travel to another state with it you must notify the government, and you can’t loan it to anyone even in your own state.

That’s not so bad.

My bullet points were a rebuttal to your comment that precedent says if you got it you can keep it. That is incorrect.

do you really believe any of them have your actual best interest at heart? 3 trillion dollars in our money for stimulus, checks were $1200 per, if you do the math
$3,000,000,000,000 / 330,000.000 =$9090.90. that’s per person, why can’t the money trickle up. none of them care about us as individuals after they get our vote.

Read some of my posts – no.

They do have different agendas, but none of them particularly good and some despicable.

Look at their finances. Most of them make less than $200K a year, yet many of them are extremely wealthy.

I forget to turn on the notifications sometimes, not ignoring your post. you make good points.
after you acquire wealth the only thing left is accumulating power. our brains are basically the same a they were 10,000 years ago, I don’t think we are evolved enough as a society to deal with how our societies are evolving.

You mean like bump stocks?

i knew i should have bought one or a few of those things. that’s one i regret. but banning anything NEVER works anyway, it just creates an underground market. it sure looks good to the masses in the voting booth tho

Your last sentence sums up the problem. Too few know anything about firearms and politicians keep pushing common nonsense that “looks good to the masses.” Thus we end up with a confused mess of counterproductive laws.
I’d prefer gridlocked government incapable of doing anything.

wil

well I think we need police and streetlights and all the other things governments provide with our tax dollars. we need to elect people that will stay out of personal decisions made by consenting adults. all the stuff thrown in is crap to keep “the few” in charge. you have a right to religion as someone else has a right not to, “under god, indivisible” is an oxymoron. by its very nature, its meant to divide. think we all need to give tip a lil pride and let others be, so we all can live “free”. (took that way far…lol)

not sure what law(s) you say President Obama broke?

GUNS r US

No hate here! I know the difference between facts and propaganda, have had a life full of it. But, I know the difference. Obama didn’t scare me (what a joke) and nothing does except the wrath of the Lord GOD Almighty. No one has taken anything from me and no one will.

After reading your post here, you and your comments are all over the place? You almost make sense and then turn around and contradict yourself, almost like propaganda. Either way I’m good too, have a good one buddy!!!

wil

one thing I won’t argue is your opinion, you are entitled to one (here’s the rub), so is everyone else. my god if any may be different than your god, does that make me or you wrong? what’s the point of religious freedom? why do you think Obama wanted to scare you? I’m talking politics in general so when “they” say they are going to take away your guns, that’s meant to scare you. so you will react and jump into their corner. you prove me correct when you say “no one has taken anything from you” The great nation… Read more »

Our opinions, and yes we all have one, whether in agreement or not. It is one of the rights that we’re losing fast! Obviously we do not believe in the same God, because of “if any” in your comment. The point of religious freedom is exactly what you stated, we both can believe what we want. Although this nation was founded on Christiananty. Fear is the weapon of the devil (and democrats), only if you let him in. As for obama, he was just setting hillary in place to carry out the agenda of what is about to happen now.… Read more »

I try to think logically and some of the things you are saying make no sense to me. “if any” applies to many Americans, that me thinking realistically and allowing for others freedoms. if Obama had the office at the time setting it up for Hilary, why not do it himself instead of taking a chance that she might not win. my question was referring to the 2016 elections where trump won. confident in Hilarys victory equates to declaring a trump victory? wouldn’t the opposite be true? the history of this country is really dark and oppressive. at what point… Read more »

and I bet you think you are being funny, all the while you contribute to a fractured society. in the name of what? I make more money than you, pay more taxes, own more property, served in the military and do more for my community. not one person this entire conversation called anyone else a name or insulted anyone. why don’t you grow up and think bigger than your narrow minded views. you are an embarrassment to society.

wil

no one cares! that’s one of the great things about this country, you can choose to be ignorant and act like a child if you want. you are a sad small minded little boy. I can only imagine the squaller you live in. I really pity you.

tee hee…again, no one cares!

you are an example of a person that lives in fear. sure you think you are tough, a big bad come take my gun if you dare badass, nonetheless on the inside a frightened ignorant my whole life will shatter little piss-ass if anything changes bitch. a dreg of society that trolls the internet hoping to make others feel as worthless as yourself. well I don’t feel like playing, you can if you want but adults with differing point of view were actually talking, something you are also afraid of. so for the third and final time, no one cares!

Thank you my friend!

Yes, the USSA, NWO are the same in one. Have seen it coming since B. Clinton.
Freedom is not free and this once great nation has paid a large price for it. That’s one thing that bothers me the most, the brain washed have only enjoyed the benefits from TRUE American patriots that have paid the price for all who belong here and those who want to come legally, not illegally.

I also will die on my feet, unless the good Lord takes me home in my sleep!

Jump right in Dee. Do you want to continue our conversation about the driver of violent crime?

AZ Lefty

Aw the reason Weasels Deflect!

Dee

They are definitely weasels and deflecting.

Dee

Dude you far from a patriot. Your fascist thinking is what rose Trump. You who think stopped your beast friend Hitler, Antifa who were military men and women around the world that crushed Hitler. And you call yourself a pratriot…laughable….ridiculous at best.

TheRevelator

@Dee Define Fascism please. As much as I disagree with @PatriotSolutions on a number of things, his history presented is correct. Someone can call themselves Anti-fascist all they want, if they engage in fascist actions they are fascists. If Hitler described himself as Peaceful and a friend to the world, I dont think you’d be defending him the same way you defend those black clad terrorists who believe violence is acceptable to squash people who have a difference of opinion. Facism: a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above… Read more »

Fascism has a LOT more to do than just what you touched on. You forgot to include: Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism[1][2] characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy[3] which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.[4] The first fascist movements emerged in Italy during World War I, before spreading to other European countries.[4] Opposed to liberalism, democracy, Marxism, and anarchism, fascism is placed on the far right within the traditional left–right spectrum.[4][5][6] The extreme authoritarianism of fascism usually manifests itself in the belief in a… Read more »

Beobear

You just perfectly described the far left, including antifa, with your description of fascism.

Dee

Lol….yeah smart guy. Such a freaking idiot. You have the definition staring you in the face but your butt still too slow to understand. But I get it you believe Trump. Lol

Dee

Trump thought his old but new tactics would carry y’all over to the “promise land”. Well out with the old.

TheRevelator

@Dee Oh boy. Another person who is unaware that “Far Right” refers to the European Far Right, which is equivalent with the American “Left.” Facism is a Form of Marxism. It agrees with most of the tenants of Marxism barring the Global perspective as I explained. It is in no means tied directly to race, although that can become a side effect of the totalitarian nature, its main form is top down Government control. For example “And I’ll support any democracy and/or structure that will totally eliminate fascists regimes!!” You will support fascist actions if it allows you to eliminate… Read more »

Thats how people like Dee operate. When reality disagrees with them, redefine whatever you need to to justify opinions instead of facts. Its why the left hates accepting the idea that National Socialism(Nazism/Fascism) was the twin of Global Socialism, and much like Roman mythology fight against each other like Romulus and Remus. Both are offspring of Marxism however. Courtesy of the Foundation for Economic Education however, here are some of the things they both agree on. I will quote FEE, and then provide the Socialist(I.E. Leninist view) variation of it, my own words being underlined. 1. Capitalism is an unfair… Read more »

TheRevelator

Most of it is. I may not always get a quote exactly perfectly right working off of memory, but I dont mind admitting I occasionally have to go back and look something up just to make sure I am making a factual argument instead of a flawed one.

Above, I quoted from the Foundation for Economic Education, and then explained after each of their sections the differences or similarities between Socialism and Fascism off the top of my head. That part is easy.

Dee, best to not hit that crackpipe if you are going to post.

Dee

Lol…I need to to while reading through your and a lot of Trump folks BS.

Heed the Call-up

Antifa who were military men and women around the world that crushed Hitler. Antifa, was and is not a government or a military force. Neither did it defeat Hitler. One could argue it is a paramilitary force, but that insinuates it is controlled by a government entity. So, unless it is part of the NWO, aka, Deep State, it is just a group of terrorist thugs. If you had any rational, logical, factual basis for your disagreement with others here, you fail to provide it. You clearly lack the mental acuity to debate with rational, logical points and facts.

Ummm…I didn’t support Trump insurrection. If you had any rational, logical, factual basis for Trump illusions, you fail to provide it. You clearly lack the mental acuity to debate with rational, logical points and facts. Your demeanor is of a petulant child, never taught how to be part of civil society and instead believes and follows the rhetorical spews of a man who has clearly lost his muthafreaking mine. But I’m not into name calling. You like how I did that? Yeah I know you do:)

HAHA….shoot me. I’m floating with the tech giants.

Dean your Coup Klux Klan post are really beginning to show your age boomer. Get off this here shiii before your old mid century butt gets canceled like Parlor. I can’t believe you call yourself a patriot. You’re definitely not American!
