One Orwellian Image Of 1/6 That Haunts Me Till Today......

is the image of the people that gathered outside the WH to listen to TFG speak that day.

If you look at the pic - there were TV monitors with a sinister image of TFG's face from the nose up to the top of his head - with piercing eyes - looking out from those monitors.

I said the image is 'orwellian' because it reminded me of 'big brother' from Orwell's 1984.

I would appreciate it if someone could find that pic and post it here. I don't know how to post a pic.

That image is indelibly stuck in my mind. It scared me then and it continues to scare me today.

That image alone tells me that whomever ordered that image to be placed on those monitors that day - had some ulterior motive in mind - to do that.

They pre-planned this. They wanted to suggest something to this crowd.

And as we saw - they were successful in inciting the crowd to this insurrection.

Very Orwellian with red tones. Scary image of an authoritarian looking at the crowd.

I cannot post images herein; however, this linked image (from the Rolling Stone magazine) might be helpful (?); it's the same image as already posted just above.

Their plan was to evade any weapons check by overwhelming the police on the way in and on the way out

Had a similar experience watching the end of 2016 Republican convention. Convention was jaw dropping in itself, but that the last song played was Sympathy for the devil. That sent a shiver down my back.
