"It had to be this way."

No, it really didn't… this was Q Team & Trump's ego trying to convince us that "patriots are in control" and a gross underestimation of the Deep State's resolve.

So today Trump declares a "natural disaster" in Connecticut, Utah, Georgia and Louisiana… but why?

Because with this official Presidential declaration, Trump can use the Insurrection Act with military and National Guard in those states.

§333. Major public emergencies; interference with State and Federal law

(a) Use of Armed Forces in Major Public Emergencies.—(1) The President may employ the armed forces, including the National Guard in Federal service, to—

(A) restore public order and enforce the laws of the United States when, as a result of a natural disaster, epidemic, or other serious public health emergency, terrorist attack or incident, or other condition in any State or possession of the United States, the President determines that—

(i) domestic violence has occurred to such an extent that the constituted authorities of the State or possession are incapable of maintaining public order; and

(ii) such violence results in a condition described in paragraph (2); or

(B) suppress, in a State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy if such insurrection, violation, combination, or conspiracy results in a condition described in paragraph (2).

I often wonder if the Q Team still lurks here…

probably not, they're either busy saving humanity or packing up their banker's boxes…
