A federal judge sentenced one of the 234 people arrested during rioting in Washington, D.C. on Inauguration Day to prison. The defendant admitted he joined with 200 others to form a “Black Bloc” wearing black, gloves, scarves, ski masks, gas masks, and goggles to conceal their identities. He also carried a black flag, a hammer, and a gas mask. He is the first to be sentenced in connection with the riots.
A statement signed by 31-year-old Dane Powell said that others with the “Black Bloc” at Logan Circle wore sunglasses, helmets, hoodies, “and other face-concealing and face-protecting items to conceal their identities to prevent law enforcement from being able to identify the individual perpetrators of violence or property damage.”
The statement obtained by Breitbart Texas from the DOJ’s U.S. Attorney’s Office, District of Columbia Division, also said that the rioters traveled over approximately 16 city blocks during a period of more than 30 minutes. The Black Bloc army carried hammers, crowbars, wooden sticks, and other weapons.
Dane Powell admitted that he helped break windows at two businesses and to “throwing a brick, large rock, or piece of concrete at uniformed law enforcement officers during the riot.”
Breitbart News reported in January that the rioters got about a mile from the White House. The article describes the damage reported and the actions of the mob. It also noted that “as shown in the Stephen K. Bannon film Occupy Unmasked, the Black Bloc anarchists are closely aligned with the Occupy Wall Street movement.”
The gathering of “anarchist, socialist and communist groups” for an event called “DisruptJ20” called for Black Bloc protesters to come to Logan Circle in Washington, D.C. on Inauguration Day. The article said, “its distinctive dress is to allow protesters to break the law” and its leftist “anti-American” ideology and its goals are not to be underestimated.

An assistant U.S. attorney played a 10-minute video and accused Powell of throwing bricks and rocks at peace officers and breaking the windows of stores. His eyes were exposed although he was dressed in black and he had his face covered. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer Kerkhoff told the judge that Powell was seen the day before in Logan Circle carrying the same flag, a hammer, and gas masks. “He came to the District of Columbia to engage in violence by hiding his face, throwing rocks and running. He’s a violent coward,” she argued, the Times reported.
The government lawyer also charged that one of the police officers during the riots was knocked unconscious with a brick or large rock, but there was no evidence that Powell struck that officer.
Powell’s defense lawyer said her client, a U.S. Army veteran, came to Washington because he was “worried about the direction of this country” but he admitted he got “carried away.”
Powell pleaded guilty in late April to the charges of felony rioting and felony assault on a peace officer. He had faced 14 charges.

WASHINGTON D.C. (INTELLIHUB) — On Inauguration Day violent protests broke out in parts of the city as Donal J. Trump was being sworn in as the 45th President of the United States.
Over one-hundred protesters dressed in black, wearing hoods and masks, smashed windows of local businesses with hammers and other objects during their march.
Some protesters in the area were chanting, “No KKK, no fascist USA, no Trump,” over and over again while beating on drums and other makeshift noisemakers.
The well-organized group swept through swaths of the city, even smashing car and limousine windows out.

Then, things settled down, although the defeated liberals were still unhappy. Cities went back to normal, and anti-Trump vitriol returned mainly to its verbal form, (with a few horrifying exceptions, discussed below.)
But maybe they were just saving their energy for the inauguration on the 20th.
People have been talking about making Inauguration Day the biggest protest in the history of the United States, but plans seem to be escalating. (Go here to get a free guide that will help you to prepare for unrest if it comes your way. You’ll also get updates on the fluid situation. )
Some people are planning joking about a real life Purge, modeled after the movies of the same name. In the movies, for a 12 hour period every year, all bets are off. All laws are suspended. All emergency services are canceled. People are completely free to do whatever they want, including to seek retribution and vengeance from anyone who has wronged them. Lots of folks lock down and try to hang in until morning, while others go out for a gleeful night of murder, vandalism, and mayhem.
Piper McGowan of The Daily Sheeple found a motherlode of unsettling tweets from liberals who seem ready to go out on Inauguration and do their own version of a Purge. She wrote:
…apparently lots of people in the Twitterverse can, and many have declared that Trump’s inauguration day on January 20, 2017, will be a real life Purge.
Some of these statements come complete with cute little weapon icons like swords and knives.
What’s eerie about this (besides all of it) is that the first Purge was the lowest budget film to hit the top of the box office charts since 1988 grossing $90 million. It was a huge commercial success. People loved it, spawning two sequels so far.
The third one that came out in July 2016 called The Purge: Election Year had a president character who just so happened to play it a lot like Trump in what people in the film claim was an “accident” (yeah right) — complete with the tagline “Keep America Great.”
While this is supposed to be a hilarious joke, I think there’s a little bit of seriousness in it.
The left has done everything possible to delegitimize Trump’s presidency before it even begins. The aftermath of the election was violent and bloody. Many people since have been violently beaten for being Trump supporters. Heck, some got beaten just for being white, like the special needs young man who was forced to say “F*ck white people” and “F*ck Trump” during a horrifying live-streamed torture session.
Do you honestly think that things will just magically settle down after the Inauguration?
You need to get prepared for the possibility that the 20th and the 21st could be some of the most violent days that America has ever faced.

Thanks largely to a woefully corrupt and dishonest mainstream media that’s in bed with far-left elites and the Democrat Party, most Americans are asleep at the wheel with regard to how much danger is brewing for the entire nation on Donald Trump’s Inauguration Day. The question only one person seems to be asking is World Net Daily’sGarth Kant, who asks:
“Could the left really attempt a violent revolution to overthrow the U.S. government and overturn the American way of life?”
Not only COULD they, but they WILL try, according to Douglas V. Gibbs, who has appeared as a commentator on Fox News and is a radio talk-show host in Los Angeles. In a recent article published in the Canada Free Press titled, “Democrats Prepare for Violent Revolution,” Gibbs warns that it won’t be a liberal revolution. It will be a communist revolution. Over the years, the mainstream media has conditioned the American people well not to call the far-left out for what it is now, and always has been, which is a Communist movement. Not convinced the far-left has its original in Communism? This warning given in 1961 should open your eyes.
After examining all the evidence, not the least of which includes the fact that virtually today’s entire Democrat platform has been stolen directly from the former Soviet Union’s 45 Goals to Destroy the United States written during the height of the Cold War, Gibbs concludes a revolution attempt is not only necessarily imminent, but also that it WILL happen once all various pieces fall into place. Gibbs says,
“They [the far-left] are in full preparation for social and economic collapse, or a violent revolution.”
Americans continue to vastly underestimate the desperation of a radical outgoing President whose entire legacy is going to be wiped out not long after Trump is sworn in. The “fundamental change” Obama promised, and then delivered on behalf of his globalist backers during the last eight years, was the culmination of his entire life’s work. Now, it’s all about to be erased because Obama never anticipated the system that has been abused, corrupted, and manipulated by the far-left and their biggest professional global agitator, George Soros, would not be corrupt enough to predetermine his successor.
All the evidence pointing toward massive violence erupting in the near future is out in the open, and it’s there for anyone willing enough to open their eyes and look. Recall what the financial backer behind so many of these far-left activist groups, George Soros, famously said back in September. He said, “Western Society Must Fall Before One World Government Can Be Established.” Since that time, Soros has been actively engaged in the destruction of free speech by aiding social media platforms with their efforts to censor conservatives.
In their own words, the far-left has said it plans to create the largest civil unrest the country has ever seen. That level of chaos would prompt a state of “public emergency,” and could easily force a newly sworn in President Trump to use the John Warner Defense Authorization Act (signed into law in 2006), to restore “public order.” What people fail to recognize, is that it matters not if Trump wants to, he may be forced to.
At the end of the article below from TruthUncensored.com, I provide links to over 2000 pages of official government documents (from their original sources) to anyone who thinks the links at the bottom discussing the steps the government has already taken toward Martial Law is “conspiracy,” that they are sorely mistaken.
As President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration nears there is growing concern over radical leftists calling for thousands of activists to descend upon Washington D.C in protest of his unprecedented win over Hillary Clinton.
All over the country there are stunning videos of anti-Trump riots, both before and after the election, showing the drastic level the leftist movement is capable of taking under the the “Not My President” movement.
But could the left really attempt a violent revolution to overthrow the U.S. government and overturn the American way of life asks Garth Kant, WND?
Not only could they, but they will try, according to Douglas V. Gibbs, who has appeared as a commentator on Fox News and is a radio talk-show host in Los Angeles.
And it won’t be a liberal revolution. It will be a communist revolution.
Examining the evidence, he concludes a revolution attempt is not necessarily imminent, but that it will happen, once various pieces fall into place.
Gibbs declared, “They are in full preparation for social and economic collapse, or a violent revolution.”
He cites the website DisruptJ20 and its “Call for a bold mobilization against the inauguration of Donald Trump on January 20, 2017.”
Gibbs quotes Michael Moore explaining, “It is their goal to “block, obstruct, disrupt, and do whatever they can to prevent the onslaught that is going to happen with Donald Trump.”
The group’s intense anger and hatred is clear in its statement:
“Trump stands for tyranny, greed, and misogyny. He is the champion of neo-nazis and white Nationalists, of the police who kill the Black, Brown and poor on a daily basis, of racist border agents and sadistic prison guards, of the FBI and NSA who tap your phone and read your email.”
It is Gibbs’ contention that, “The liberal leftists want desperately to sabotage the Trump administration, and possibly overthrow the entire government. For their socialist big government agenda, the ends justifies the means.”
Why now?
Because, he explained, “[U]nder Obama, the veil was raised. Why worry about exposure now? They’ve been poking the right-of-center groups in the chest for years, trying to instigate a violent response, and they never got it.”
“Now,” he continued, “they may be realizing, it is up to them to initiate the violence. It is up to the leftists to finally launch the true coup. Or, at least that is what a lot of people think.”
Evidence that could support his theory is not hard to come by, as the left is becoming increasingly violent.
During the 2016 presidential campaign, leftist riots broke out in cities across the country, the worst perhaps in San Jose, California, and in Chicago.
The paper reported how video caught several people punching Trump supporters with “furious fights spilling from street corner to street corner, often with no police in sight.”
The Post said protesters jumped on cars and pelted Trump supporters with eggs and water balloons, including one woman trapped in front of a door by a mob while they screamed obscenities at her.
It was later learned that a similar anti-Trump riot in Chicago in March was organized by such well-known leftist groups as ANSWER and La Raza. ANSWER is also sponsoring the inauguration protest.
Austin police fight off protesters:
The violence expanded after the election.
WND reported assassination threats against Trump accompanied the nationwide rioting.
Often-violent anti-Trump protests broke out in cities including Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, Denver, Minneapolis, Baltimore, Seattle, Tampa, Dallas and Oakland, California.
In Chicago, a video showed a mob of young black men beating and dragging through the streets a white man who voted for Trump.
Portland, Oregon police termed a protest a riot after “anarchists” threw objects at officers, vandalized local businesses and damaged cars.
Some 1,000 protesters in Oakland broke store windows, left graffiti on buildings and threw M-80 firecrackers, Molotov cocktails and bottles at police officers, authorities told CNN.
And that’s only the beginning, if Gibbs is right.
He suggests the left will inevitably move on to more violence following the election of Trump, because “the realization that the Democrats are losing grip on their transformational agenda in the rest of the country has slammed the leftists square in the face.”
Gibbs asserts the leftists “hate any opposition, and are willing to do whatever it takes to either win over their opposition, or silence and eliminate their opposition.”
The next step by the left, according to Gibbs, is the stockpiling of arms.
“Now, it’s the liberals who are suddenly worried, and stockpiling food, guns, and emergency supplies,” he observed. “Trump’s 2016 win was a wake-up call. Their cheating, lying and violence was not enough to stop the man, and his very unorthodox approach to politics.”
Gibbs sees the left’s hysteria as now having gone beyond insanity, marking a transition to violent anger.
He believes the hysteria arose because the left they thought they had finally defeated the right permanently with the election of Obama, and that the election of Hillary Clinton would seal the deal.
“They only needed, now, to disarm the crazy right-wing bastards,” wrote Gibbs. “Then, with a faint whimper, the last of the opposition to the liberal left agenda would be gone.”
It seemed to them a near-certainty, but when it all came crashing down on Nov. 8, it was a disorienting “shock to the system. Nobody on the left side of the aisle expected that Trump had a snowball’s chance in Hell to win the 2016 Election. All of their skewed poll numbers said Hillary was going to win.”
Gibbs portrayed the left as in a state similar to post-traumatic stress disorder.
The left, as he sees it, is having trouble adjusting to a reality they can’t tolerate. So now, they are buying guns as well as preparing for resistance.
Even though the caricature of a leftist may preach tolerance, “peace, love and understanding,” Gibbs sees the left as having been primed for a darker sort of political activism.
“Violence has become a norm,” he observed. “The younger generation has been taught so well to go off into violent fits with ease that we have been even seeing their violence erupt at various shopping malls during the Christmas season.”
And that’s because, “Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press is fine as long as you agree with the liberal left. Disagreement with leftism is so upsetting that on college campuses they need safe zones to protect themselves from being offended by conservative thoughts or words.”
Gibbs maintains the ambition of the left is nothing new and that is has always been revolution. The change is that it may be moving into a violent phase.
“It’s a communist uprising, in truth,” he bluntly asserted.
“It’s what they’ve been working towards since before any of us were born. The real coup, however, began in 2008, after a century long reeducation of society”.
“Yet,” he continued, “to their surprise, they somehow lost the White House in 2016. So, when the political angle doesn’t work, that is when tyranny reaches into their bag of violent tricks.”
Gibbs contends, “like all communist uprisings, it will all begin as something good and meaningful. It will be launched as a peaceful protest.”
But, “Darkness always first appears as an angel of light.”
He believes, once the forces of violence on the left have captured enough momentum, the eventual trigger for their attempted revolution will be a major crisis that throws the nation into turmoil, such as an economic collapse or, even more likely, he thinks, a devastating terrorist attack.
“Is all of this we’ve discussed here enough for the liberal left to set off some kind of a violent revolution?” asks Gibbs in summation.
“Yes. But, they won’t. Not yet, anyway.”
