[QUOTE="Old Man Jingles, post: 4740688, member: 18222"] Washington Post printed that no one arrested due to the Capitol Assault was a user on Parler. The 'plot' was planned and communicated on Facebook. IF WEDNESDAY’S ATTACK ON the United States Capitol Complex was part of a [I]coup d’état[/I], then the American political system should be considered safe for the time being. The mob that ransacked the Capitol was disordered, leaderless, and appeared to have no coordination, or even direction. However, the broader militant movement that it represents is evolving very rapidly. If left unchecked, it will be able to turn its weaknesses into strengths and spell major trouble ahead for the already stormy waters of American politics. The nation’s law enforcement and security agencies must therefore prepare for a period of widespread insurrection, some of which will be armed and lethal in nature. Insurrectionist acts are likely to occur across the nation, and may last for months, if not longer.
