BIDEN’S INAUGURATION: AMERICA, LAND OF THE FREE?

Just weeks after the riots that rocked Capitol Hill, President Biden was sworn into office during an inauguration unlike any other in modern history – with a sparse crowd and some 30,000 military troops deployed throughout the city.
The media and political hysteria leading up to Inauguration Day was that pro-Trump extremists would overrun the Capitol and they would do what they could to stop Joe Biden from getting sworn in.
Federal authorities initially came out and said the rioters wanted to assassinate “elected officials” but backtracked and said there was no “direct evidence” to support those claims. The Wall Street Journal reported last week that Senator Rand Paul and other politicians called the security measures around the Capitol an overreaction and seemed to have turned the city into a “militarized zone.” The Journal reported the city was fortified with miles of security fencing. 
“So, I think there was too little security, obviously, last week, and now we’re going to become a militarized zone,” Paul said on Fox News. ”And they’re checking congressmen as they come in to see if they have a sharp pencil or sharp pen. So, it’s gotten ridiculous. And so, we’ll see what happens and whether it’s permanent. But most people who write about civil liberties say that in times of war, or in times of stress, or in times of crisis, you lose your civil liberties very quickly.”
TRENDPOST: If an inauguration were held in a nation the U.S. targeted as an enemy, and its regime held a militarized lockdown of its capital to swear in a leader who nearly half the population said stole the election, Washington would use it as a reason to overthrow the “illegitimate” government… and the media would cheer them on. 
But, in America, where the Biden administration promises to clamp down on “domestic terrorism” (i.e., criminalizing descent), the newly-militarized Washington, D.C. has become the new normal.
