The Insurrection Act provides:
“That in all cases of insurrection, or obstruction to the laws, either of the United States, or of any individual state or territory, where it is lawful for the President of the United States to call forth the militia for the purpose of suppressing such insurrection, or of causing the laws to be duly executed,…”
Invoking the Insurrection Act doesn’t depend on a decision by the Courts or the legislators. The President alone can decide if it is warranted. And so he should.
By Ted Belman .. .December 1, 2020
Pres Trump won the 2020 election in a landslide. He will not allow the steal to succeed, no matter what.
Opinion is divided as to whether he can prevent Biden’s certification or get the US Supreme Court to intervene.
If he fails on both counts, he will declare a national emergency relying on the Insurrection Act and will do so before Biden’s inauguration and if needs be, before his certification. I say this confidently because Trump is a winner. He will never allow his victory to be stolen from him without doing all in his power to prevent it. He probably will declare it anyway.
In fact, on Sept 12. 2018 he signed the following executive order:
“I, DONALD J. TRUMP . . ., find that the ability of persons located, in whole or in substantial part, outside the United States to interfere in or undermine public confidence in United States elections . . . constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States. … I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with this threat.”
The Insurrection Act provides:
“That in all cases of insurrection, or obstruction to the laws, either of the United States, or of any individual state or territory, where it is lawful for the President of the United States to call forth the militia for the purpose of suppressing such insurrection, or of causing the laws to be duly executed,…”
The attempt to steal the election by all means fraudulent is sufficient cause for him to call forth the “militia”.
He threatened to do so in the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd earlier this year.
“If Trump does so, he will be able to sign off on several measures to protect national security, including shutting down telecommunications in the US, freezing US citizen’s bank accounts and deploying US military personnel in US states.
“If Martial Law is introduced the First and Second Amendments of the US constitution could be suspended, which cover freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, press freedom and the right to bear arms. US citizens could also face court martials under such a measure.”
Thus Trump will be able to shut down Big Tech and the MSM and arrest all the participants in the fraud.
Habeas Corpus could also be suspended enabling him to arrest hundreds, if not thousands, without the need to appear before a judge.
On Nov 5/2020, Infowars published an article titled Trump Set Up Democrats In Sophisticated Sting Operation. Yes, I know about the reputation of Infowars, but this article and interview sounds very credible to me.
It contains an interview of intelligence expert Steve Pieczenik by Owen Shroyer.
Pieczenik maintains that Pres Trump fully expected the attempted steal and decided to give the thieves enough rope to hang themselves. He further advised,
“Hidden, trackable watermarks were allegedly put onto ballots so they could be verified if necessary.”
“Watermarks are specific to each election and confirm the ballot was printed by an approved printing authority.”
To what extent this is so, remains to be seen.
In June of this year Trump tweeted “RIGGED 2020 ELECTION: MILLIONS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS WILL BE PRINTED BY FOREIGN COUNTRIES, AND OTHERS. IT WILL BE THE SCANDAL OF OUR TIMES.”
How prescient.
Howard Woltz, in his recent article “If your plan is to kill the king, do not miss”, recounts a series of events.
“Legendary Special Forces (Green Beret) hero, Christopher C. Miller, has been appointed Acting Secretary of The Department of Defense by the President, following the sacking of Mark Esper.”
He was introduced by, Ezra Cohen-Watnick, Gen Flynn’s brilliant protogee.
Andrea Widburg asks, Does Trump’s shuffling of the Defense Policy Board mean something?
“Trump’s choice for Esper’s replacement — Christopher C. Miller — is also interesting: Miller is a Special Forces guy. Moreover, his appointment coincided with a Pentagon shake-up that has seen Special Forces cease to be subsets of the other branches of the military. As of November 18, they’re now on par with them:
“I am here today to announce that I have directed the special operations civilian leadership to report directly to me instead of through the current bureaucratic channels,” Miller said during an unannounced visit to Fort Bragg, North Carolina. “This historic step finalizes what Congress has authorized and directed and will put Special Operations Command on par with the military services for the first time.”
“The top Pentagon civilian official who oversees special operations had previously reported to the undersecretary of defense for policy, said Pentagon spokeswoman Navy Cmdr. Candice Tresch.
“The latest military-related shake-up came yesterday, when Trump booted old-guard members of the civilian Defense Policy Board: Henry Kissinger, a realpolitik relic of the 1970s; Madeleine Albright, a Bill Clinton ally; David McCormick, a George W. Bush leftover; Eric Cantor, a RINO; and Rudy de Leon, another Clinton relic. Again, the move comes at a weird time when Trump’s status is unclear.”
In Flynn’s first interview after Pres Trump gave him a full pardon, he referred to the “coup in progress” and emphasized that Trump will not allow this to happen. Flynn is dedicated to leading the charge.
Sidney Powell has brilliantly defended Flynn, and now Flynn and his protégée, Cohen-Watnick, are backing Powell and her release of the Kraken.
The Marshall Report reported in an article what she was referring to:
“Kraken is a Department of Defense cyber warfare program that tracks and hacks other systems to acquire evidence of nefarious actions of other nations and enemies.” We now know that the SCYTL server seizure was from a secret operation in Frankfurt—actually controlled by the CIA.
“It appears the CIA partnered in the Obama scheme with his mentor, George Soros, the CCP and Globalists seeking ‘the Great Reset’, which is Marxist-speak for an overthrow of the U.S. Government—and its president—to “fundamentally transform the United States” as Obama promised.”
So obviously, Powell is getting her information from Flynn and Ezra. It is worth knowing that Sidney Powell is registered as a MILITARY LAWYER and can prosecute TREASON at a TRIBUNAL!”
If that weren’t enough, Julian Assange recently did a dump.
“Wikileaks has dumped 8,761 CIA Documents on Tuesday revealing CIA base in Frankfurt #Germany which was used to hack elections incl “malware, viruses, trojans, weaponized ‘zero day’ exploits, malware remote control systems and associated docs.-“
The dump may have been very helpful.
On Nov 30 I posted a video by Simon Parkes, a little known commentator, who always has startling information to divulge. In it, he confirms the following:
- The US military raided the CIA facility in Frankfort and seized the computers.
- Five soldiers were killed and a CIA officer was wounded and arrested.
- That daily military flights at that time increased from 250 daily to over 500 daily.
- Many people have been arrested and taken to Gitmo.
- Indictments are being prepared for many members of the Biden family, for conspirators from the Deep state, and for others who were part of the conspiracy.
- By allowing the transition to commence, Trump forced Biden to declare his foreign involvement including how much money he has received from China and what the payments were for. Biden thereby became “actionable” and can be arrested.
So Trump is beginning to make his move. How far he will go is yet to be seen.
Since then Parkes reported CIA director “sang like a canary”. The FBI is now falling into line and issuing indictments.
And Tom Zawistowski President of We the People Convention, has taken the initiative to Urge Trump to Declare Martial Law and Hold New Election.
And General McInerney makes a similar call.
Their arguments are very persuasive.
Trump is not a quitter. I believe, doing so, is a far better option for him and the country, then accepting defeat.
He will restore his victory and be inaugurated on January 20, 2021.
Curious if the people reading this comment below believe it or not??

@ Edgar G.:
“… Can’t find a proper word for it… when about 50,000 or more, earlier this evening, turned out to their rally at which Trump appeared,”
If it were just Melania speaking, of course, 500,000 would have turned out 🙂
Joking aside, Edgar, I agree with you that Donald Trump is not only liked but loved by the large majority of Americans; bit it seems that Republican men, upon entering political office, are required by their leaders to undergo castration.
I believe enough Republicans and others will turn out in large numbers to vote for the two senators; but of course, the machines are already set to give the Dems. the victory.
.@ Michael S:
Very likely it should be…..”I agree with Newt Gingrich”…….???
He’ll be thrilled to hear it.
I can hardly imagine a Republican supporter urging people to NOT vote for their Republican Candidate for the Senate, Sounds much more than stupid… Can’t find a proper word for it… when about 50,000 or more, earlier this evening, turned out to their rally at which Trump appeared, .
@ peloni1986:
“”Lifelong Democrat” and Georgia state Rep. Vernon Jones says it’s crucial that Republicans win Georgia’s two Senate seats if we want America as we know it to continue.”
— https://www.theblaze.com/glenn-radio/vernon-jones-warning-ahead-of-runoffs
You read that right: Democrat Jones is telling Republicans they need to vote in the Georgia runoff, to save the country.
Vice President Pence agrees.
@ peloni1986:
Hi, peloni. Very good explanation — in which, I will note, that you agree with both Newt Gingrich and me that these moves by Wood and Powell are “terribly dangerous”.
Let me explain my trepidation: I have family living in Red China, who have been there much of their lives. You probably know that since the ascendancy of Chairman Xi, they have been watching their freedom and fortune systematically taken away from them. I would love to see them come to live with us in America; but unfortunately, I have witnessed our freedom here erode at a faster pace than is it in China! As cartoonist Scott Adams pointed out yesterday, we are not “in danger of losing” our democracy; we have already lost it and become a “bullyocracy”. If Biden is allowed to usurp the presidency, AND the Republicans are allowed to lose control of the US Senate, we face a future of anarchy and civil war; and dictators like Xi will have a free pass all over the world. …and I may have seen my grandchildren (whom Laura hates, by the way, for some perverse reason) for the last time. For some posters on Israpundit, like Edgar, this is all a big joke; but to me, it isn’t. I hope it isn’t to you either.
Yes, Powell and Wood are playing a dangerous gambit. I hope these matters receive a favorable outcome in SCOTUS, long before the GA special election.
Hi Michael,
You are correct in noting that State Rep. Vernon Jones was not supporting the not voting measure, but does support the call for securing the vote. Lin Wood believes that the use of the threat of sitting on our hands and our wallets is the only practical way to motivate the Republican Party – state and national party – into action to push Gov. Kemp (who Wood believes is involved in a corrupt financial scheme with Dominion) to call the legislature into special session to review the election. In fact, Wood stated today that he did in fact fully support everyone voting in the January election but that it must be in a system that is fair and equitably based – i.e. paper ballots with hand counts. Sidney Powell, you may not know, has also called for people to not vote unless we go to paper ballots with hand counts – and she did so as recently as earlier today in an interview. She was not as vocal about it at the rally, I suspect due to the fact that Wood had covered it pretty well as you noted. They each earned the ire of Newt Gingrich earlier today for their efforts. It is a terribly dangerous path, but it is the only real leverage we have to press the Republicans to support the efforts of the President. I believe we do have momentum building over the last 48 hrs with the public, but I am horrified to find that if these elections are put in the hands of the Republicans to decide, Trump may still lose. I have a great deal of respect for Newt, but if we don’t secure the presidency and we don’t change to paper ballots, the will of the people will be as lost in the next election as it was in the last. The criminal activities, if condoned, in the November election will not disappear in January. I can’t believe the lack of outrage, alarm or even concern expressed by the state and national members of the Republican Party. A few have spoken up, but very few.
@ peloni1986:
Hi, peloni. You said,
“In fact the only politician present was in fact a sitting Democrat member of the State House.”
I believe I saw him speak, not knowing he was a Democrat but seeing that he did support Sidney Powell’s efforts. He encouraged everyone to vote, and was abruptly contradicted by Lin — one of three takeovers I noticed during the rally, in which Wood then repeated his rabble-rousing tirade, virtually word for word.
I support Sidney, and her efforts; but I believe I am justified in not trusting Wood. Time will tell, of course; but his telling Republicans not to vote in the Senatorial election is so counterproductive and very, very dangerous for the republic, I don’t believe it deserves denying. As I pointed out to Ted above, Newt Gingrich seems to agree with me:

@ Ted Belman:
Hi, Ted. Sorry for not getting back sooner. You said,
“Why weren’t Perdue and Loeffler at this rally?”
LIn Wood said they weren’t. And that means… what???
“Wood has been a big supporter of the work that Powell is doing.”
Maybe, but I did notice him interfering on the sidelines while she was answering quiesions. I only saw her fully answer the first question. Then Wood intercepted the second question before she was able to answer; and after that, the questioning ceased and Lin took over the show. That’s a very strange way to “support” someone.
“I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.”
…and I am willing to give him the “doubt of the benefit”. Newt Gingrich seems to agree with me, if the headline agrees with his statements:
“Newt Gingrich: Lin Wood, Sidney Powell’s ‘Don’t Vote Strategy’ Would ‘Cripple America’”
— https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/12/03/newt-gingrich-lin-wood-sidney-powells-dont-vote-strategy-would-cripple-america/
I would give Newt Gingrich the benefit of the doubt.
@ Michael S:
Lin Wood is no Poser. He has honest and shared concerns that the Republcan Party is ready to move on to the next President where they feel it is back to business where they can return to the swamp dealings that garnered Trump the support he has had over the last 5 yrs – the same support that won them reelections throughout the country in 2016 and 2020. Too few of these Republicans are voicing ANY concerns publicly over the coordinated fraud that took place over the last month. Not one of them were present at the rally Lin Wood and Sidney Powell held in GA yesterday. In fact the only politician present was in fact a sitting Democrat member of the State House. Wood wants to have those two Senators elected. But not so they can have a better hand dealing with Biden the Basement Dweller. The presidency was stolen from the Republicans. Where are they?? Why aren’t they calling for investigations. The state of GA is run by Republicans but they just want to move on. Woods smells a dirty deal between the Republican State establishment and the Democrats as the reason why they are unwilling to check the signatures on the ballots and why the Republicans are so disinterested in pursuing the fraud in GA (broken water mains that turnout to be leaky urinals that were fixed 12 hrs before; disappearing tabulating servers; nearly 10,000 votes that oddly weren’t counted; stuff like that). Maybe, he is wrong. Maybe his historic dislike of Republicans is driving his distrust of the GA Republican Party. But it sure is curious that a Republican state has flipped under such odd circumstances and the only one in the state calling for any investigation is the fellow who as you say has voted Democrat his whole life. And the only politician who bothered to show up to support Sidney Powell was a Democrat State legislator.
Also, remember Trump was elected with MANY such Democrat changeover voters. I have never found much respect for the Democrat party faithful. But as a Republican who has been a party faithful my whole life I am beginning to question what is going on around me as I call these legislators and they clearly have little to no interest in pursuing this very significant loss under such very questionable circumstances
@ Bent Jensen:
Based on my readings much of it has been verified. Nothing he has said in the two videos that I posted has been contradicted.
If he is wrong on something, let me know.
@ Michael S:
Why weren’t Perdue and Loeffler at this rally?
Wood has been a big supporter of the work that Powell is doing.
I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
@ peloni1986:
He’s not the only one who has made mention of it. Google “blockchain ballots” or “watermarks ballots”
Besides nothing he has reported in the two videos I have posted have been proven wrong. In fact I have read others who are saying the same thing.
Lin Wood has been called out as being a posseur:
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/12/02/records-lin-wood-decades-voted-donated-democrats-including-barack-obama-david-perdues-2014-opponent/
I watched the Georgia rally yesterday. Lin got the crowds pepped up with MAGA rhetoric, going a bit overboard with the “We will fight” lines; and when it came time for questions of Sidney Powell, Lin virtually took over the session. He also urged voters NOT to vote for Perdue and Loeffler in the special election, doubling down on this position after another speaker opposed his position.
Lin Wood, who has never voted Republican in the primaries and has supported Democrat candidates is, in my opinion, not to be trusted. In particular, I urge all Georgia voters to support the Republican senatorial candidates that Lin seems to be undermining.
Ted, if there is a secret watermark on the ballots, why wouldn’t this be made known by now? I initially believed this story given the obvious intent by Dems to steal election with massive mail in ballots, but it makes no sense. What rope they needed was used in the fraud over the election. The Dems have entirely exposed themselves sometime ago. What would they be waiting for? Announce the presence of watermarks, check the ballots and case closed. Why would they still be waiting to unleash this coup de gras. Its already Dec. If this is true it doesn’t make any sense to me.
However, if it isn’t true, i am even more shocked that nothing was done to prevent the obvious intentions of the Dems to steal the election – something that Trump himself spoke of for months before the election.
… and AG Barr sees NONE of all these evidences of corrupted and fraudulent activities!!!
Or he is playing temporary deception?
He was at the WH this Monday AM!
@ Ted Belman:
Thanks for the clarification, Ted.
I have been following a blogger on Rumble, by the “NOQ Report”:
https://rumble.com/vbjh35-im-90-certain-trump-will-win.-the-reason-for-my-10-uncertainty-will-likely-.html
among others. He still holds out a “90% hope” that Trump will win in the Electoral College. His 10% reservation is mainly based on religious beliefs. His confidence is largely based on the likelihood that one of the Trump campaign’s civil suits will be judged by the US Supreme Court, in which case it will be decided based on a preponderence of evidence. That preponderence has already been demonstrated to the American public, though almost entirely hidden in the mainstream media.
If the 10% probablility happens, President Trump seems to have two choices:
1. Declare a national emergency, and try to begin a process of criminal investigation of the coup plotters. The usual suspects will then almost certainly commence violent uprisings throughout the world. Alternatively,
2. The President could resign (A clever way might be to resign in early January, then receive a pardon from Mike Pence). A witch hunt and kangaroo court would no doubt immedeately ensue, followed by a violent struggle between factions in the Democratic Party.
In either case, there is an excellent chance that China, Iran, etc. will try to take advantage of a vastly weakened US. World War III will be a matter of “when”, not “if”.
Simon Parkes is either mad, sick or full of fraud. Why do you print his ludicros nonsense, of which nothing can be verified – and for good reason!
@ Michael S:
National emergencies are very specific. and have varying degrees. Yes a national emergency has been declared with respect to covid for instance but not with respect to the election.
Ted, I see a contradiction:
1. “Pres Trump will declare a national emergency…” and
2. “I, DONALD J. TRUMP . . ., hereby declare a national emergency
Which one is it? It seems the president has already issued the declaration on Nov. 29. What “will” happen is not another declaration, but an execution.
