Barricades erected around White House, Treasury, fueling speculation

Here is to full HOPE the verminous treasonous filthy Deep State (and media criminals) are finally going to be rounded up and sent to Gitmo for Military trials.

In many countries that I visited, I saw the same kind of preventions. But all of those countries had one thing in common, they were not Democratic Republics of any kind. Most were Dictorial. The ones that did not put a stop to this were all overthrown or voted out of power.

I have never conceived that this type of behavior has been necessary. Okay, all you people causing this, go ahead and begin blaming the other side. Begin now.

Not the first time barricades has been out around capitol building's.

This needs to go to conspiracy theories.

It'll be interesting to read all the Lefty speculations. There's gonna be many crazy ones.

Hmmm.....maybe you aren't completely brain dead, after all. I guess you are conceding that MAGA is completely full of shit.


Well....now you owe me an apology. Trump is worried about Iranian assassins....and he should be --

Iran nearly succeeded in orchestrating an assassination of former secretary of state Mike Pompeo at a European hotel in 2022, and then-candidate Donald Trump and his campaign were told by intelligence officials last September that the longtime U.S. foe had recruited hit men who were active at the time on American soil, according to a forthcoming book about the 2024 presidential campaign.

Security threats to Trump and his aides dramatically changed their practices and worldview on the trail, according to an account obtained by The Washington Post from “2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America,” by Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager and Isaac Arnsdorf. The book is scheduled to publish next month.

Iranian hit men tried to assassinate U.S. officials at least three times in the three years preceding Trump’s election, as his campaign for president ramped up. Two of those attempts have been widely reported, but the incident involving Pompeo in Paris has not previously been disclosed. Also new is the account in the book that U.S. intelligence officials told Trump’s team in September of last year that Iran had recruited hit teams that remained active inside the country.

In 2022, Iranians learned of the Paris hotel where Pompeo was staying and tried to assassinate him. He narrowly escaped, the book says, but it provides no other details.

In addition, The Washington Post previously reported that Iran has cultivated relationships with criminal networks in the West to carry out its attacks, including hiring two members of Hells Angels biker gangs in a plot against a former Iranian military officer living under an assumed identity in Maryland.

Iran was only one of many sources of threats to Trump’s safety through 2024. But together, these threats changed the way his campaign functioned, according to the book. Security officials effectively transformed Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s home and private club in Palm Beach, Florida, into an armed camp. They persuaded Trump to travel in a decoy plane owned by Steve Witkoff, a real estate investor who is now his special envoy to the Middle East.

Trump switched planes for one trip after Secret Service agents grew especially concerned about his jet, which could be vulnerable to surface-to-air missiles with fewer defensive systems than Air Force One, the book says.

Then, on Sept. 24 of last year, national security officials briefed Trump at Mar-a-Lago that Iran had multiple hit teams inside the country.

As previously reported, U.S. authorities arrested an “Iranian asset” six weeks later, in November 2024, claiming that the suspect had been tasked by the Iranians with “surveilling and plotting to assassinate President-Elect Donald J. Trump.”

What is clear is that Iran weighed heavily on Trump’s mind, according to the book. He asked multiple times if Iran was connected to the gunmen in Butler and West Palm Beach and grew increasingly frustrated with the acting director of the Secret Service, Ronald L. Rowe Jr., when he felt like he would not answer his questions.

You could have done that in the first place.

I should have remembered the Pompeo incident.

I stand corrected.

however, it is noteworthy that none of this occurred until well after Trump unilaterally tore up the JCPOA and started with his constant bellicose threats.

There aren’t any barricades being set up.

This is another right wing fake news X post.

 

[konradv]

You would know about manufactured false-flag events. Better than anyone.

MAGA lies.

 

[mudwhistle]

MAGA lies.

No....just putting a mirror up to your face, dipshit.

This thread offers a small hint at what might be considered a clue.

It might very well be a “tell” that some big news is getting ready to break. Obviously, it is mere speculation at this juncture. But that doesn’t mean the OP is off base.

I'm not sure if I understand you but if I do then I agree with you.

Lol. Funny! It seems those secret tunnels or shelters are useless now.

There are secret tunnels under the White House and some nearby government buildings, built primarily for security and emergency purposes.

Known Secret Tunnels Under and Near the White House

• White House Tunnel System: Construction began in the early 1950s under President Truman during a major White House reconstruction. A tunnel connects the West Wing and East Wing, providing access to a bomb shelter. In 1987, under President Reagan, another secret tunnel was built near the Oval Office with a hidden door activated by pressing a wall panel. This tunnel leads to a secret staircase and connects to the basement of the Residence and West Wing14.

• White House to Treasury Building Tunnel: A 761-foot underground tunnel connects the East Wing of the White House to the Treasury Building. Built in 1941 as an emergency evacuation route for the President, this tunnel is zig-zagged to lessen bomb impact and includes small rooms that once had cots for shelter. It has been used for discreet exits and entrances, guarded by the Secret Service with cameras and alarms24.

• Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC): Located underground beneath the East Wing, built by FDR as a secure meeting place and bunker capable of withstanding a nuclear hit. Access is highly secured with biometric controls14.

• Other Tunnels and Passageways: There is a pedestrian underground passage between the White House and the Old Executive Office Building. Rumors exist of tunnels connecting the White House to Blair House, the Vice President’s residence, Camp David, the Pentagon, and the Capitol, but these remain unconfirmed1.

Secret Tunnels in Washington, D.C. Government Buildings

Beyond the White House, Washington D.C. has an extensive network of tunnels connecting Capitol Hill buildings such as the Capitol, Supreme Court, and Library of Congress. These tunnels serve practical purposes like protecting officials from weather, providing secure evacuation routes, and facilitating discreet movement during crises (e.g., January 6, 2021 evacuation). Some tunnels were reinforced as Cold War fallout shelters5.

The FBI also built a secret tunnel under the Soviet Embassy in the 1970s for spying, though it was plagued with technical issues and eventually discovered by the Soviets5.

Summary

There are confirmed secret tunnels under the White House and connecting nearby federal buildings, primarily built for presidential security, emergency evacuation, and secure communication. The White House tunnel system includes a bomb shelter, a tunnel to the Treasury Building, and a secret passage near the Oval Office. Additionally, Washington D.C. has a broader network of government tunnels used for secure and discreet movement among key federal buildings1245.

These tunnels are heavily guarded and equipped with security measures such as biometric access, cameras, and alarms, underscoring their importance for national security24.

We were exposed to democrat pre election tactics in the Summer of Love 2020 BLM/Antifa/Democrat riots. Pro-active is always preferable to being caught with your pants down---ask Nazi Piglosi

 

[toobfreak]

Maybe they finally figured out who funded the protests.
Or where the Democrats are getting their money.

Nah, I'm thinking it has to be one of these being announced next week right before the 4th:

1. The USSC announces an end to birthright citizenship for non-citizens!
2. The Senate has passed an amendment to the constitution permitting Trump to run for a third term!
3. Democrats are not classified as domestic terrorist persons of suspicion.

I figure it will be the announcement of the passage of the BBB. It is the only thing that is imminent. Israel-Iran is yesterday's news. SCOTUS is out of session. NATO summit is over.

None of those seem big enough to turn leftists into frothing maniacs!

Maybe Trump will announce next week they will be rounding up 200,000 illegals per week now starting with that week and will be shipping them all to Haiti or Honduras.

It has to be something that will absolutely RUIN the Forth for the left while having everyone else celebrating the 4th of July.

Maybe. The first deportation flights since the SCOTUS ruling could do it.

Pay attention. The reason for these were actually being driven by your Orange Cheeto Dictator. I tried to give you an out on this one but you just had to step in it. Seattle would not have been nearly as bad had the Cheeto Goons not kidnapped people with unmark vans and no ID. Finally, they ran you criminals off and it settle down.

Run along moron. CHOP/CHAZ was due strictly to your anarchist party that wouldn't enforce laws against the populace in 2020. LMAO, I'm glad you brought up the recent anarchy in Seattle though. It was again due to the democrat city government not defending a PERMITTED religious protest that didn't settle well with your LGBTQ+ community. STFU about things you know nothing of.

This is a creative way to try and sanctify a right wing lie.

It is predictably self serving. As claims of fact were made.

This was not an exercise in “speculation” as you falsely try and claim.

Trump did not stay in DC, contrary to another X post false claim.

he ran away to play golf.

Thanks as always for you inane rambling irrationality.
