There was a shark attack a day ago.

and chicken in the news
I think @theredone is onto something. The Capitol insurrection planning may have come from the top, but it's possible that those at "the top" are really incompetent/deluded. We all know #45 is a stunted 8-year-old. But Prince, Manafort, and Stone, could be equally deluded even if they're really dark (darkness does not equal genius). I've said before that a declaration of martial law does not happen in a vacuum; there are all sorts of things that can go wrong with something like that, not the least of which is a breakdown in the chain of command. Well, it turns out all sorts of things can go wrong with an an attempted insurrection. In this case, there were a lot more of "us" than there were of "them, and *surprise* not everyone in a position of authority was interest in throwing out 244 years of democratic norms.
Evidence is already starting to seep out about the insurrection and who was involved. There were some firearms there. They also now believe the bombs were planted the night before.
Christopher Miller gave very specific orders -restrictions really-to law enforcement about the planned protests. He limited their armaments, gear, etc.
It will all eventually come out.
@coyote, those at the top may be incompetent but unless they are stopped, I agree with @lynn that they will learn from their mistakes and keep trying. Biden needs to move quickly to disable those at all levels who would do this again. I wish he'd fire Wray. I am sick of Republicans leading the FBI.
@lynn But positive change is coming. A major shift happened with the election but it will take a few years for the society to work through the conflicts to get us up the hill we are now climbing. I can't stop seeing that 2014 vision I had that showed we'd hit the bottom in 2020, then gradually, two steps forward, one step back, we'd work our way up to the more beautiful world.
I trust the process we are in, and yet, like you, I also am impatient and find the process painful.
How amazing that Tony Bennett, with alzheimers, did another album with Lady Gaga in 2019! When I hear Tony Bennett, I think of my father and remember all the dancing we did to his songs over the years. One of our best friends (in his 60s) has been battling this for 6 years. It's so sad, so lets say a prayer for Tony and anyone else who has this dreaded disease.

It was a plot to make it look like it was a popular movement but it was planned. I don't know why they failed, though, or why they didn't have arms.
Overall incompetence perhaps? That seems to be a recurring theme of both the previous administration and the big T followers.
Or perhaps intervention from the spirit realm stepped in to prevent this from being worse than it actually was.
Hi Everyone,
This is what I got during today’s meditation:
I see John McCain. His spirit is watching what is happening in his former party and at the impeachment trial. I heard the word “conscience”.
I see Diane Feinstein again and get the feeling she will resign soon due to health concerns.
I get a strong feeling that further charges for people involved (even those in government) in the insurrection will result from what happens during the impeachment trial.
