America 2021: National Guard troops march in front of the U.S. Capitol.pic.twitter.com\/5aO0YA04pW<\/a> \u2014 Disclose.tv ???? (@disclosetv) January 17, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

At least 25,000 Guardsmen are protecting<\/a> the Capitol complex. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

*** <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Armed protesters have arrived at multiple state capitol complexes across the country Sunday morning. This follows a special bulletin from the FBI last week that warned: “armed protests<\/a>” were being planned at 50 state capitols and the US Capitol in Washington, DC, ahead of President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration on Jan. 20. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While the protesters are being identified across various platforms as members of a so-called “boogaloo” movement, they largely appear to be generic anti-government anarchists <\/strong>– some of whom call themselves “liberty boys,” and others who oppose the conservative Proud Boys. Their sudden emergence surrounding the inauguration is curious, to say the least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A field reporter at The Daily Caller, Jorge Ventura, reports from the Ohio Statehouse, where he notes that “580 National Guard members” were activated “to provide security around the Ohio Statehouse in downtown Columbus through Wednesday.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are not a pro-Trump group,”<\/strong> said one of the armed protesters at the Ohio demonstration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In New Hampshire, <\/strong>a handful of armed protesters showed up outside the Capitol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While a similarly small group began to assemble outside the Oregon Capitol. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The group in Oregon refers to themselves as the “liberty boys.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This group call themselves \u201cliberty boys\u201d, boogaloo boys are an extremist movement born online.

Bloomberg notes, “militia groups from both the left and right gathered outside the state capitol in Frankfort, Kentucky.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On top of this all, civil flight observers have said, “amount of USAF cargo aircraft (C130s C17s KC135s KC46s) bringing National Guard troops to Washington DC\/Capitol is truly impressive. Almost a constant air bridge for the past several days.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
