With all the crazy headlines and things that are looking so scattered and fuzzy regarding January 6, 2021, let’s go back and recap what took place on that day. I took a deep dive into the archives to glean some of the facts presented at the time in the Marshall Report. There are some big dots involving President Trump, Lin Wood and General Flynn.
This is long…but it has the dots. This was put together by investigative journalists and the title was:
Situation Update, Jan 14th, 2021 – An astonishing theory: FEMA and the US military will save America at its final hour
BY HEALTHRANGER // 2021-01-14
Here are some KEY EXCERPTS FROM THE ARTICLE:
Note my comments are in bold and in brackets beneath the excerpts.
THERE ARE TWO THEORIES OF WHAT IS TAKING PLACE IN AMERICA!
“Today’s Situation Update for January 14th examines the two competing theories for the outcome of the rigged 2020 election. In one outcome, Trump has given up, Biden will be sworn in, and the United States of America will be plunged into a communist-controlled authoritarian police state that silences conservative dissent.”
(This is the theory we are now hearing from General Flynn et al. via information given to us through Lin Wood. Note….in the beginning Flynn had delivered another theory, the one below.)
“Another theory is emerging, however, that claims the United States is in a military coup against illegal civilian traitors and that a combination of FEMA and the military will actually save America, not enslave it. This theory gained momentum yesterday when Steve Pieczenik appeared on the Alex Jones Show and claimed a military coup was under way to carry out mass arrests against the traitors on or before January 20th.“
(This is the theory most patriots, including Lin Wood is looking at.)
“Pieczenik was a former psychological operations intelligence official with the US Statement Department and helped the United States carry out military coups against foreign nations. The question being asked now is whether Pieczenik is running a psyop on the American people, or if he’s telling the truth. It’s not just Pieczenik who holds this view, however. Recent interviews also reveal that Gen. Michael Flynn and attorney Lin Wood are extremely confident that the US military is gearing up to arrest the deep state traitors, essentially implying that the National Guard buildup in DC is actually a trap for traitors. “
“It is factually true that on Inauguration Day, any treasonous lawmakers or deep state actors who show up there will be surrounded by heavily armed troops. “
(And this happened. Remember many looked so different, and the guard surrounded the entire Capitol grounds. Castlerock? Many discrepencies….)
Article continues: “Trump is able to federalize all National Guard troops by invoking the Insurrection Act. But there’s another factor which has emerged in all this: FEMA. FEMA is organized as a continuity-of-government (COG) entity, with the power to run the entire federal government in a national emergency. President Trump declared a national emergency on September 12, 2018, and that emergency has not been rescinded. The entire 2020 election took place under that national emergency (the “foreign interference” executive order).
(If this is a fact….discern the events. Discern the show. Discern what you have seen.)
Article continues: “As the theory goes, the civilian government has already collapsed under election fraud, corrupt courts and treasonous actions of the majority of lawmakers, both Dem and GOP. The real government in charge right now is a combination of FEMA and military authority. The election, being fraudulent, is null and void. FEMA is run by Peter Gaynor, put in place by President Trump in January of 2020. Gaynor is a 25-year veteran of the US Marine Corps, with special experience in running urban assault troop operations.
“Gaynor from FEMA.gov: Gaynor served for 26 years as an enlisted Marine and Infantry Officer in the United States Marine Corps. During his tenure in the Marines, he was assigned as the Executive Officer responsible for the security of Presidential Retreat, Camp David; assigned as the Head of Plans, Policy, & Operations at the Headquarters Marine Corps during the September 11, 2001 attacks; and deployed in support of Iraqi Freedom with the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force where he coordinated combat operations in the Al-Anbar Province of Iraq for Multi-National and Marine forces.

“President Trump activated FEMA on January 11th, issuing a new emergency declaration via this presidential order from Whitehouse.gov. That FEMA order carries very unusual language that appears to refer to a national emergency event much larger than a simple inauguration: Today, President Donald J. Trump declared that an emergency exists in the District of Columbia and ordered Federal assistance to supplement the District’s response efforts due to the emergency conditions resulting from the 59th Presidential Inauguration from January 11 to January 24, 2021.The President’s action authorizes the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), to coordinate all disaster relief efforts which have the purpose of alleviating the hardship and suffering caused by the emergency on the local population, and to provide appropriate assistance for required emergency measures, authorized under Title V of the Stafford Act, to save lives and to protect property and public health and safety, and to lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe in the District of Columbia. That announcement by Trump invokes the Stafford Act, which is found at this link on FEMA.gov: https://www.fema.gov/disasters/stafford-act The PDF of the Stafford Act is found here: https://www.fema.gov/sites/default/files/2020-03/stafford-act_2019.pdf
(Remember on January 11th Trump also said this publicly:

Remember also….convoys sited in New Jersey…..

“Title V of the Stafford Act contains language that appears to grant the President extraordinary powers during times of a declared national emergency: The President may: exercise any authority vested in him by section 5192 of this title or section 5193 of this title [Sections 502 or 503] with respect to an emergency when he determines that an emergency exists for which the primary responsibility for response rests with the United States because the emergency involves a subject area for which, under the Constitution or laws of the United States, the United States exercises exclusive or preeminent responsibility and authority. (a) Specified – In any emergency, the President may – (1) direct any Federal agency, with or without reimbursement, to utilize its authorities and the resources granted to it under Federal law (including personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, and managerial, technical and advisory services) in support of State and local emergency assistance efforts to save lives, protect property and public health and safety, and lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe, including precautionary evacuations; If FEMA turns out to be a defender of America, that would be a huge shock to most patriots, because FEMA has long been thought of as the agency that would round up and exterminate patriots. That’s one reason why this theory is so difficult to parse. Note that yesterday, Ready.gov also tweeted out a warning for all Americans to prepare for power outages. And the troops in DC are now being given live weapons and live ammo. What’s that all about?
Gaynor at FEMA, Miller at DoD
“In addition to Gaynor being put in place at FEMA, Chris Miller was made the Secretary of Defense by President Trump shortly following the rigged elections on Nov. 3rd, when US military intelligence was able to confirm that Democrats and Biden were acting illegally to steal the election. DNI John Ratcliffe, we believe, issued a classified report to Trump and the DoD, documenting the foreign interference and cyber war operations carried out against America by foreign aggressors.
“The recent letter from the US Joint Chiefs reveals that the military will only follow lawful orders, and that the military will defend the US Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. From that letter: …the U.S. military will obey lawful orders from civilian leadership, support civil authorities to protect lives and property, ensure public safety in accordance with the law, and remain fully committed to protecting and defending the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. ...We support and defend the Constitution. Any act to disrupt the constitutional process is not only against our traditions, values, and oath; it is against the law. Chris Miller is a patriot and an expert in unconventional warfare. He is loyal to Trump and helped run successful on-the-ground operations in the Middle East. He’s used to being surrounded by the enemy.
“With Miller at the DoD and Gaynor at FEMA, the right assets are in place for FEMA to run C.O.G. operations while the military asserts its authority to protect the Constitution to make arrests of hundreds of traitors and seditious actors on Inauguration Day.”
(The question is, was the mission accomplished? We have seen quite a lot of funny looking people that don’t look like they did before the inauguration.)

“Do not forget that all Special Operations Forces now report directly to Miller, and the USMC reports directly to Trump. Gaynor at FEMA can easily coordinate with the Marines because that’s what he did for 26 years in the military. According to this theory, the United States would then operate under temporary military authority for a few months, during which more arrests would be made and a new election might be held. Trump is merely acting weak right now, the theory asserts, in order to convince treasonous lawmakers not to succeed in convicting him in the US Senate before January 20th. (That ploy, if it is a ploy, appears to be working.) ”

Fast forward in article to excerpts of zoom call with Lin Wood….
Zoom call with Lin Wood and retired military personnel gives us even more detail
“Yesterday a private zoom call was held with attorney Lin Wood and retired military personnel (with at least one general) providing us with even more insight. One person who attended the call — which I can confirm did take place and was real — put together some notes from the call, offering the following explanation. I can confirm these notes are accurate. However, there is no link to anything because the call was private: There are now 250,000 Chinese troops surrounding us, 75,000 in Canada and the rest in Mexico. The generals said if they set foot in this country they will be wiped out swiftly as they are ready. The Mayor of Oklahoma City was informed by POTUS on Monday via email that the Insurrection Act has been enacted and arrests will begin in that city. This is the first of many cities this will happen in. This election was cyber warfare on our country.
“A paper was sent to the White House on the voting in 4 states that showed Chinese cyber attacks moving votes from Trump to Biden. They have proof of this now. This is a foreign country involved in our elections so this has been escalated from a domestic issue to an attack from a foreign enemy. This has moved from a constitutional voting issue to a national security issue now. The Capitol Building attack was Antifa and BLM driven – all tactical deception as they call it in the military. It’s common practice.
“Yes, we are in a full blown Military Operation right now to remove the threats and install our President back in power and control the violence in the big cities. Keep in mind, if the lights go out, and Biden is not President, it’s not China coming in here, it’s us knocking out the lights to weed out the bad guys. Massive arrests will be happening then. Everything they are panicked about is the world finding out about their Pedophilia and Child Sex Trafficking Rings they have all profited from for decades. The President loves this country and loves the people and is committed to financially restore all that has been lost since Cov19 started. We may begin to see things as early as tonight and we are hearing that it will become hot around the 18th-19th. Stay in Prayer. Stay in Faith.
“Many patriots think this is all nonsense… and they might be right.”
“Notably, many patriots completely disagree with this assessment, including Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes who told me on a private phone call that he thinks there will be no one to rescue America other than ourselves. The military, he believes, has been infiltrated and taken over by traitors and communists. Alex Jones also publicly expresses strong skepticism toward this theory, believing it’s mostly Q nonsense that’s being used as a psyop to mislead patriots and drive people to their own doom. But if Q is such a successful psyop to harm patriots, why did the entire US media and Big Tech giants all ban Q information? If Q was disinfo that was “working” to mislead patriots, wouldn’t they have allowed the Q channels to thrive? And why is there a buildup now of 20,000 armed troops in DC merely to handle an inauguration that the Biden team says will be largely virtual? What are all the troops for? There won’t be any significant number of protesters there, as all the so-called “armed protests” announced recently were fabricated by the FBI and promoted by the media so they could stage false flag shootings and blame it all on conservatives and gun owners. There is no actual plan from militia groups, conservatives or Trump supporters to attack any capitol building at all.

“And Stewart Rhodes from Oath Keepers just put out a statement calling for peace, specifically disavowing any armed protests on any capitol building. So there are layers and layers of disinformation, false flags and hoaxes coming out of the CIA-controlled media, the corrupt FBI and the authoritarian tech giants. They are not engaged in “casual” censorship; they are censoring like the end of the world might be coming and they have to silence all conservatives at all costs. Clearly, something much bigger than a simple inauguration is afoot. But we don’t know for sure what it is. Maybe it’s truly a nightmare scenario, and after Biden is sworn in, the Dems will launch military-assisted death squads across America to arrest or execute all Trump supporters. That’s the nightmare scenario that many fear. It’s a communist purge, and treasonous criminals like AOC appear to be calling for it.
“Within a week, we will know the real answer.“
(Well, they were off on their time frames, but this is a war and no war of this magnitude could have been won so quickly. And to bring down all the giants involved, God has to be behind it. We are fighting hell itself and all the demonic forces of Babylon the Great. The Lord gave his people instructions to come out of her my people. Perhaps this is what is taking a bit longer? Just my observation.PATRIOTS FRAMED WITH ANTIFA TROJAN HORSE AND PRESIDENT TRUMP IS KICKED OFF SOCIAL MEDIA? – The Marshall Report (diannemarshallreport.com))
Back to Article: If Pieczenik and Wood and Flynn and people like Steele are all wrong, then it will become obvious that the patriot community has been subjected to the most elaborate psychological operation in history. The Q movement will collapse, and people like Pieczenik will be forever blacklisted, exposed as hoaxers and manipulators. But if they are right, we will witness the most extraordinary turnaround in the history of our nation, and perhaps in the history of the world. Biden will be arrested, the Republic will be saved and the military will uphold the Constitution. January 19th is National Popcorn Day, so grab your popcorn and get ready for thrills either way.

So now today’s headlines read:
Leaked memo: Ex-D.C. guardsman says Michael Flynn’s brother lied about Jan. 6
Former Guard official accuses Gen. Charles Flynn of “outright perjury” in cover-up of military’s riot response
The new report sheds more light on previous reporting that ex-Capitol police chief Steven Sund had been denied National Guard support on six separate occasions. On Mar. 3, the commanding general of the D.C. Guard Maj. Gen. William J. Walker told Congress that, after receiving a frantic call from Sund, Walker was forced to wait three hours and nineteen minutes before receiving the Pentagon’s go-ahead to deploy troops. Read article here: Memo: Army initially tried to deny D.C request for National Guard on Jan. 6 | Salon.com
Remember: Those who were there see what went down and they know there was a coordinated attempt to not only steal the election, they have paid off all those on both sides who could be bought and that is looking like quite a lot of them. They have coordinated a break in and staged a false flag inside the Capitol Building and blamed it on the Patriots. Trust me, if the Patriots were going to rush the Capitol they would do that in a different way. Patriots don’t climb on buildings like moneys and give out hollars and woop woops. ANTIFA does that. Their style is a give away! ANTIFA left their signature on this event as big as their graffiti!
They knew then and they know now. So….use discernment. Something very big is going down. Remember the two theories….Now Flynn has switched his public opinion from his original stance. Byrne is a dither in the cannon fodder….Trump has been in control behind the scenes … and nothing is as it appears.
Discernment is needed and the full armor of God. Call on the Holy Spirit and press into the Kingdom….press, press, press!

Just wondering if President Trump KNEW about the “psyops” that was taking place when he voiced to all his patriots to “Go Home”…????
He was made aware of the breech and the first step before calling the insurrection act is to tell the protestors to go home peacefully and that is exactly what he did. The problem was he made the announcement while the people were still on the way to the capitol to meet with him and listen to Trump’s second speech that was canceled and never made due to the breech of ANTIFA who were bussed in and already waiting inside the building. More were outside and it was a trap set by Pelosi and Schumer…allegedly because the capitol police had already let them in and the ones in charge of the capitol protection are Pelosi and Schumer. After he told them to go home…shortly after he called the insurection act and then the guard came to the capitol and put up fence and took over the capitol grounds and martial law was called in D.C. No one could leave their hotel rooms.
Political Moonshine talks about General Charles Flynn denying request for National Guard after the breach on 1/6.
fractured-leadership-part-iv-the-flynn-family-fact-set-is-falling-apart
This article talks about the denial of backup. On this one what do you think Dianne? Would it have been better if Nat’l Guard came on the scene or worse? I can’t decide. Obviously we believe that God is in control and what happened was what was supposed to happen, but still; denying request for back up – using the excuse that it wouldn’t “look good” – is curious. And perjury is quite bad.
As I have pointed out previously the guy who is Political Moonshine has been moving far into the Lin Wood camp, and away from General Flynn.
I HIGHLY recommend this piece which list 89! Points – almost all of which are Lin’s telegram posts.
https://politicalmoonshine.com/2021/11/28/fractured-leadership-part-iii-the-full-slate-of-claims-by-wood-against-flynn-powell-and-byrne/
In this article number 49 links to an article from some time ago that will curl your hair (or straighten it – whichever applies) regarding background on General Flynn that is just so upsetting….those of us who have been white on rice regarding spy gate will have no trouble connecting dots on this information.
We are in for some very interesting days according to some people beginning tomorrow into Sunday…No idea what it is, we’ll see what happens. Staying strong, resting when we feel weak knowing the weakness will pass, then getting back up stronger than before is how I am getting through these most biblical times.
Thanks Dianne – you are a warrior!!

Political Moonshine did a great job!!
I’ll reiterate the comments I previously wrote about Flynn: did he “lie” to pence or was that part of their plan, why did President Trump really fire Flynn. Doug Billings became truly boring with his bombastic praises of Flynn so I stopped watching him and I got tired of Flynn’s depressing analysis of the election steal. Sydney Powell was removed by Giuliani in the group defending President Trump as the legitimate re-elected president and reporting election fraud; the question is why. Byrne trashing Giuliani as a drunk & an incompetent buffoon; according to Patrick only his plan was feasible and Giuliani was useless. Dan bongino is a chump when he was willing to take a bullet for the illegitimate, fraud, biracial, anti American, anti Catholic, anti Christianity, muslim, kenyan, marxist, usurper hussein. I certainly wouldn’t & no real patriot should for a totalitarian. I’ve never watched bongino’s show on Fox News but I haven’t watched Fox News since November 3rd 2020. Gorka is on newsmax and I have never watched his show either. I’ve heard & seen parts of his podcast show only months ago.
Questions! Nothing appears as it seems. President Trump was surrounded by vipers.
✝️💜🐈😻🐈⬛🐾❤️🥀🌻🐥🐓🦃🦆🦜🦢🕊🦌🦔🐀🐘🐄🐑🐷🦍🐠🐆🦁🇺🇸🌞
If you will believe it…Pence was removed from office on the fourth of July 2019. He boarded AF2 to Indiana and midway in the sky it turned around and the sign was changed from AF2 to Sam239. That means no VP on board. Which means, he was either removed from his office, or physically incapable of functioning as VP. Pence had allegedly plotted with Ryan to take out Trump, also rumors surrounding a pedophile friend of his John Sununu was planning something that involved a high powered rifle. Since that day there has been a new Pence and a new Karen Pence. See the story I wrote on it a while back. In 2019 it was circulated to me by a Gold Star Mom who had big connections and was told before it was made known. Most people were not aware and it was kept quiet. It took place and the pictures of Pence since that day are all a double and the new Karen was totally a new person. The answer was to the public..that she miraculously lost weight, looked younger and had a make over. The show had begun on the same day Trump announced…”We now own the skys.” And the chem trails vanished…at that time…and now we see it also meant in more ways than that. Sam 239….More on that here: NOTHING IS AS IT APPEARS – COVID, STOLEN ELECTION, WHO IS WHO? – The Marshall Report (diannemarshallreport.com)
Remember also these were the days of Epstein who was arrested on July 6, 2019. Just a few days after Pence was removed. Most who followed this believed he was arrested and sent to GITMO. Along with some others for treason and attempt to kill the president along with his sex trafficking in Indiana. That is what the alleged rumors were.
I’m not sure how this connects to Flynn, but Flynn did mislead not only Pence but the President. Trump had a meeting with others and determined Flynn could not be trusted by the administration and Trump asked him to resign immediately and Flynn did. Flynn was too much deep state and not so easily retrained in his loyalty. It is what it is. Remember Trump never made him a hero…Q did. It was the hype we heard of him being a hero who knew where all the bodies were buried and we needed him on Trump’s side. Where both of those are true, sadly, Trump never said he needed Flynn because he knew where all the bodies were buried…that was said by Q and podcasters. Not Trump. When Trump appointed him as his national security advisor he only lasted 22 days. He blew it big time. It was not a amicable parting.
When DJT said “these people are sick” I think he knew A LOT, but he didn’t know everything. And now, I pray that he has a plan that he needs to be very careful about because the VIPERS are willing to murder large amounts of people to get their way and he doesn’t want that to happen. I think he knows we are in a war, and there will be casualties and as President he needs to be responsible for that, but innocents and collateral damage is unacceptable. He knows what they are capable of and I believe he ties his own hands to protect us and find alternative ways to take those devils down.
It does appear that the players we were cheering – were all more of the same. Grifters, fame lovers, highly driven people with their own personal agendas. I am not sure we can land solidly on any single person any longer. No matter who they are and no matter what they say.
I was at the “Stop the Steal” Rally in Alpharetta GA at Wills Park – where Sydney appeared with Lin and Vernon Jones (VJ is a whole other story which is quite dicey and Lin doesn’t like him one bit, Stew Peters says to his face on the interview – you are a racist, and a sexual predator). What a mess in GA, now Purdue is endorsed…WHAT?
But now Lin is saying Sydney stabbed him in the back, and the fund she was running (which I donated to twice) is being “investigated”….Remember when she went to the White House in late November I think, and we were all expecting to see her Krakan skills come down hard? We expected something and we got nothing…. I guess DJT knew something wasn’t kosher with her. this is incredibly disappointing. Could it all be true?
But Lin was on fire at the rally, and Sydney was too and talked about Flynn and digital soldiers and all. Lin said we all cannot vote in the Senatorial Runoff b/c it was rigged. Vernon said we have to vote, Lin took the mic back and disagreed with Vernon again. And then when Kelly lost (I despised her) and Purdue lost, Lin was blamed, the Stop the Steal movement was blamed.
I never warmed up to Flynn either. I just saw him as a victim of Russia Gate and during the entire time 2017 on I listened to Bongino podcast. Every day. As it was unfolding. Now, I am wondering if I was influenced because Bongino believed in Flynn as a victim who was framed. But that expose inside PM’s piece was scorching on Flynn. He was a democrat and he became a General, in our modern world lots of ass gets kissed and lots of morals compromised to become a General.
I am with you Dianne, I watch zero tv, I haven’t turned my TV on in over 1 year. Not for any reason.
Bongino secret service, I know he hated Obama, but there is a level of commitment to the “Service” not to the person that may
have been felt by Dan, also he did quit. And, I think there is no one better than Dan in communicating Conservative Values, Big R rights, economics, and many other things that are fundamental & bedrock issues that ground us whether we are Old Fashioned Conservatives, or MAGA…He is a very smart man, and I have stopped worrying about agendas now and just follow people and listen to people FOR INFORMATION…. I am on your side and I am with the Lord. As He said “Do not put your trust in man”..
Thank you for the refresher course. It is so easy to forget these facts because of the constant bombardment of Fake News daily. This bombardment is no doubt part of the Cabal plan. They want us confused and down trodden to the point of saying what’s the use.
Again, Thanks
They do exactly that. It’s how they do mind scramble…that is why it is important to always point out the lie and remind of the facts…the truth. When people recall, remember, see it again…they undo the mind wash and gas lighting. It is all mind control…they want people to think they got the facts wrong…and they want to erase the truth, rewrite it. We must always repeat the truth and show the facts and point out the lies. They want us to shut up because it cancels out their mind games and undoes their mind control. That is why all the liar fact checking. To discourage truth and make truth look like lies. Enough is enough…we must be diligent in telling the truth always!
I will admit that all of this is mentally exhausting. I do not believe DJT has hung us out to dry. I realize there has never been such a time as this, just like the Bible says. Every child that is vaccinated has their chance of living a normal life totally wiped out. It is to early to know the full extent of what will happen. That bothers me. The children do as their parents say.
I often think about my life. My mother and father could have been atheist or anything else that did no believe in God. My grandfather walked 2 miles to get to the main road, which was a gravel road, and somebody would pick us up and take us the rest of the way to Church. Then somebody would drop us off and we would walk the 2 miles back. That was the 1st time I ever heard the Gospel. I was 5 yrs old. My grandmother had 13 kids and lived to see all 13 saved. The last one saved was 72 yrs old. She was a prayer warrior.
My family tree goes back to the 1500’s in Sweden. Somewhere along the line somebody heard the Gospel being preached. Beleived it, cherished it and handed it down throughout the generation’s. Until the time God saved me. I marvel at that. God is so good.
Great historical summary; wonderful song and video!
None of us knew how long this operation to Save America would take. But with each passing day, weeks, months and almost a year now, what has been revealed (despite all the turmoil we Americans and people in many nations around the world have endured) is leading to a great awakening! I continue to pray that the Mighty Hands of Almighty God are upon us, and that the ultimate success that will eventually be revealed will be epic…and biblical!
🙏🏻❤️✝️
Amen Christinewjc….if it had happened quickly, everything would have remained the same the turning to the Lord for the Holy Spirit and discernment would not have occurred. It all would have continued as it always had and many of God’s people would have remained blind and deaf of his true Word.
Good Always Conquer’s Evil!
