War Game: A Look at the potential Second Insurrection

In January of last year, a group of current and former generals, admirals, governors, cabinet members and advisers got together to play out a few scenarios, as part of a "war game". This is not new to them and a similar group of people meet up every few years to play out worst-case scenarios in real time, and determine how the nation would respond if anything like that were to ever happen.

The last time they met, they played out six scenarios, such as what could be done if a president tried to take over the Department of Justice and arrest all his opponents and critics, what to do in case of another insurrection, and how to react to and prevent mass firings of career public servants. The generals, the governors, and so on, would each get a role assigned to them and they would prepare for the role, stepping into the shoes of the president, or a chief of staff, a senator, military personnel or even the media.

The whole exercise is sponsored by a foundation for military veterans, Vet Voice Foundation.

After the war games, it is all analyzed and used to course correct. This last war game they had, they allowed documentary filmmakers in for two of the six scenarios, and now a documentary is coming out on one of those scenarios, called War Game.

Election results are contested. Far-right extremists groups are plotting to overthrow the electoral college vote count. Protesters gather in Washington. TV news screens blare: “Capitol in Chaos.”

In the White House Situation Room, the president gathers with advisors to consider their next moves. Only this is not January 6th, 2021, but a simulation of an insurrection very much like it.

In January last year, a group of former generals, senators, governors and civil servants gathered in a Washington D.C. hotel to run an exercise, a war game, to experience the United States on the brink of civil war in January 2025, and, maybe, to find a few ways to avoid a widely shared American nightmare.

In this queasily familiar but slightly alternate reality, the incumbent is President John Hotham, played by the former Montana Gov. Steve Bullock.

For those six hours, Bullock and a group of government and military officials — both Democrats and Republicans, many of them highly accomplished — lived through a U.S. coup. And throughout it, directors Tony Gerber and Jesse Moss were there with cameras to catch everything that unfolded.

Their film, “War Game,” which opens in theaters around the country Friday, is an almost-real political thriller that marries improvisational theater and dystopian science fiction to add up to a sobering documentary about our current political reality. It’s a “Dr. Strangelove” for today.

The only real U.S. insurrection in the last 100 years was on 7.21.2024, when Kamala and Obama forced President Joe Biden to leave office on 1.20.2025.

It looks like one of the content creators has a real
problem, similar to Tim Walz and his Stolen Valor
issue.

Why is that? Another Stolen Valor story?

A group of veterans allege that Amy McGrath has “stolen valor” by presenting herself as a fighter pilot

You lost me at "another insurrection." There was no insurrection. There has been no insurrection on US soil since 1776.

Sorry, WeMustCare, but what happened on 7/21/2024 was actually not an insurrection, but a coup d'état.

Yes, there has been a coup d'état in Washington, D. C., by the very people who keep screaming about Trump and conservatives and the right being a "threat to democracy."

Remember, boys and girls:

Because they are all traitors.

You goof balls are still trying to say that the most heavily armed demographic in the history of mankind staged an overerthow of the the government but somehow forgot to bring any guns with them?

My guess is because they know they won't get away with the same fraud as 2020 unless they make it look like a few 'domestic terrorists' are trying to overthrow their latest cheated-into-office POTUS.

The DNC better hope no swing or blue states secure their state elections before November. Cheating has already become a lot harder for them, along with all the proof coming out about the 10's of 1,000's of votes in each state that were ineligible.

Why anyone would want not one, but two farthest left candiadtes that embrace Marxism and Socialism is beyond me. Walz has been very, very clear on his disdain for any form of democracy, much prefering socialism.

To quote Walz "One Person's Socialism Is Another Person's Neighborliness".

This ^^

I was going to ask if they are going to bring guns next time.

Explain to me how trespassing in one building leads to conquering the United States.

Explain how the alternate (fake) electors could have led to conquering the United States. Can you conquer a country with paperwork?

We know from text messages that Don Jr. wasn't aware of any kind of insurrection plan. Who thinks President Trump would plan an insurrection without telling Don Jr.?

Have you ever met a Republican who would be okay with Trump, or anyone else, becoming dictator? That's the opposite of being a Republican.

It's a big question mark in my mind as well.

It seems that this is the direction that the (D)
party wants to go in, further left. They know
that is not the majority of voters, but also once
left moves left, it doesn't come back.

Biden being a great example in his 50 years of
demise, moving left and further left all along.
He picks a Marxist as his V.P. So apparently,
whomever is calling the shots is choosing this
radical left agenda.

Maybe they figured they had it all wrapped up,
then along comes Elon, buys Twitter and then
people have voice again. Remember, last time
they had Twitter all wrapped up, so there were
few voices of dissent. This may be a bigger
challenge than they could have imagined.

J6 wasn't really an insurrection. It comes off more like a march on the Capitol turned into an impromptu instigated riot with a percentage of destructive followers, but most walking through like a guided tour.

But let's do a hypothetical for 2024. Because things have changed in 4 years.

States currently within 2%:

Wisconsin (Harris +1.6)
Michigan (Harris +1.7)
Pennsylvania (Harris +0.3)
Arizona (Trump +1)
Georgia (Trump +1).

Polls from 270 to win.

These up to date polls show a clear change is a few of these key states, Harris has the chance to take all 5 and win 297-241. She won't even need rigged voting machines to accomplish it either.

That begs the question, in a completely legitimate outcome, being predicted as plausible right now, what would be your response if Harris wins?

This Wargame is well founded if the answer to that question is "There are no legitimate outcomes in which Harris wins."

That's game over. The programming there bears a beastly mark. A divide and conquer mark coming from one side but projecting it upon the other. Pawns are primed to react as needed.

It is now conditioned in enough people to not accept ANY outcome, and to latch on to ANY narrative that confirms a preexisting bias in the event of defeat. It's scary.

In the worst case scenario this war game is a few "influencers" away from reality if 4 or those 5 states (3 with PA) go blue on The Fifth of November.

And I see a lot Guy Fawkes masks and another Southport instigated by false claims and explosive herd behavior.

They've already captured the greatest source for vetting people have-the internet search engines. Getting any information that doesn't favor liberal agenda is getting harder every day, and a lot of people aren't even aware it's happening.

You won't find any negative results on liberal politicians, and you wont find any favorable information on conservatives in a normal or casual search. That's a big plus for those determined to remake the US in China's image.

I wonder if the Democrats have worked though any war game scenarios that explore the real potential of a replay of their 1968 disaster in where? WHERE? Chicago.

a reply to: Mahogani

if a president tried to take over the Department of Justice and arrest all his opponents and critics

I wonder if they factored in having the MSM assist in the operation and they gamed this out in real time?

OMG, yes. Yes, yes, yes. There's at least 10 of them on this forum.

Don't you find it funny a bunch of gun nuts decided to perform an insurrection and they all forgot their guns?

Worst insurrection ever!
Would not recommend.

You know what the worst part is?

People like you cheerleading the establishment as it manipulates the judicial system in a perversion of justice to lock people up for crimes they haven't committed.
