Donald Trump's multi-component conspiracy plan to hold onto power had many pieces that depended on key Trump-appointed role players, heading key government agencies, who were to enact new policies, or directly act, to obstruct and terminate the lawful transfer of power to a possibly new political administration outcome of the 2020 presidential election. If visibly legal means to stop the electoral process didn't work, then the plan was to have an insurrection grab of power by a pre-organized mob that would invade the halls of Congress and stop the January 6, 2021, Congressional formal 'certification' of the Electoral College Ballots.

The Jan6 insurrection plan seems to have been copied from one of Trump's rare book readings, and political heroes, Mein Kampf, written by Adolph Hitler during his 1923-24 imprisonment in Germany for treason and sedition attempt to overthrow Germany's democratic Weimar Republic.

Trump's attempt to take over the election process was (and remains) a well-imagined and dangerous plan whose structure and players remain in place because of the due process legal protections in the American Constitution. Memories of Weimar?

The continuation of the Trump presidency (in one form or another) depended on the success of several components and multiple players playing their part in a plan that depended on the coordination among many agencies and a bag load of key co-conspirators and emergency appointees. 

The Trump Plan was to compromise key government agencies such as the Dept of Homeland Security (DOJ and Secret Service head and agents), and other agencies - following a template of presidential replacement of department heads who would initiate agency changes although legitimate would nevertheless obstruct or call into question voting access and ballot certification across the country. As designed, the plan appeared to be within the legal powers of Trump's presidential authority. 

Trump's plan depended on cooperation (collusion) from compromised federal and state agencies and actors ...including Homeland Security, DOJ, Secret Service, and Congress itself; and also depending on the 'cooperation' (collusion) of state governors, attorneys general, legislators, etc. 

A key target in that plan was and remains the US Postal Service. Trump planned to defund the postal service in order to obstruct and slow down the November voting and election process by impairing the US Postal Service's capability to handle the flow and volume of postal items on election day. The plan apparently began with the May 16, 2020, appointment of Trump donor, Louis DeJoy. DeJoy began removing and destroying mail sorting machines and hundreds of postal drop-off boxes which Trump openly touted as his favored postal service measure designed to eventually lead to eliminating mail-in voting in as many states as possible. This program was apparently halted just before the election, but it was seen as too late by many...plus it was resumed after the election so that the slowdown to the election process will continue in magnified form for 2024.

Especially critical to the Plan were the quickly installed new heads of DHS, DOJ, the Secret Service,(and SS agents themselves), and other Trump appointees who (with some few exceptions) then were to play their assigned roles in a pre-planned 'strategy' of obstruction and delay of the Electoral College Count on January 6, 2021. 

The Jan6 House Select Investigation Committee is revealing more and more about Trump's plan to continue his presidency beyond January 20, 2021, through a multi-component conspiracy. 

Trump's role in the Plan was a key one....which was to incite a January 6 mob to 'invade' the Capitol building and stop the formal count of the Electoral College ballots after which Trump was to step up to declare a national emergency and with endorsement from his congressional loyalists he would continue as President...for...let's say, for an extended period of time to be determined., although starting out 'pro-tem'.

If the mob failed to 'remove' (incapacitate or kill ..." by hanging") VP Pence and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, then compromised secret service agents were to move ('kidnap', accidently kill?) Pence to an isolated, emergency (secret) location so then Trump's congressional proxies (eg McConnell, Gohmert, Gaetz, Grassley, Graham, etc) would/could legitimately stop the electoral ballot count, declare the ballots questionable and call for a re-election. Then Trump would hold an emergency televised appearance from the White House (where he anxiously cheered on the insurrection mob) to declare martial law...leading to the suspension of the electoral process.  

Trump would then announce from the White House, that evening, a plan worked out (beforehand?) with his congressional loyalists (and the Supreme Court?) to continue in office pro-tem perhaps in increments of 3 months...but once the plan was in operation, there would be every opportunity, certainly, the purpose, to make permanent the emergency suspension of the transfer of power.  

But the Proud Boys failed to achieve their part, the insurrection, and the Secret Service failed to get Pence into 'that' car, so the Electoral College count was formalized, and the transfer of the presidency occurred.  

This left a big (and dangerous) problem for the insurrectionists: EVIDENCE OF THE INSURRECTION PLAN HAD TO BE ERASED, AND EVIDENCE OF THE ERASURE ITSELF HAD TO BE COVERED UP IN HOPES THAT IT WOULD ALL DIE AWAY AFTER BIDEN TOOK OVER. (

IMO, this hope that 'it would all fade away and be forgotten, was a very reasonable assumption knowing the tendency of the media to forget everything after a standard news cycle - in this case not more than several weeks and certainly not six months, nor the year that it took for DHS to inform Congress that the Secret Service text messages around Jan 6, 2021, had been erased ('legitimately') during a transparent, though irregular, Jan 5-7, wipe of DHS computers and Secret Service agents' personal cell phones. This was carried out. But even though not 'uncovered' until more than a year later, The Jan6 Investigation Committee is energetically examining the intricate workings of Trump's Plan to illegally continue in office..

The Trump Insurrection Plan has sneaky-thinking, 'idea-men' Steve Bannon and Roger Stone written all over it. But it seems that Bannon, Stone, and the other co-conspirators didn't figure on the Jan6 Investigation Committee being enacted, being serious, being impartial...having integrity., and above all being loyal to the nation rather than to an individual. 

But Trump loyalists and insurrection planners then quickly reacted with another plan to neutralize the Jan6 House Select Investigation Committee - by attempting to seed the Jan6 Committee with pro-Trump members such as Jordan, Gaetz, etc. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi quickly saw through that and took steps to select her own bi-partisan panel. who have carefully unstrung the ball of threads Trump and his u..and viola the curtains on the insurrection plan are being drawn aside with increasing speed...revealing a rotten core of insurrectionists and ungloving the fine handiwork of Bannon, Stone, and Trump himself (and others).

THE JUNE 28 (2022) JAN 6 COMMITTEE HEARING FEATURING MS. CASSIDY HUTCHINSON — NAMING THE DEVI

The Perched Eye blog is 12+ years old,  from 2009 with President Obama's first term. Our focus has been eclectic ...  the ways and directions of American politics and culture, and occasionally summarizing the potential impact of new technologies. Pericles21's observations sometimes attract a critical eye, but the 'pen' remains unblunted.                   --------

Thnx to Ms. Cassidy Hutchinson, today’s Jan 6 Select Committee's emergency hearing witness, for keeping her cool as she related the horrors around her as they evolved leading to the attempted coup on January 6, 2021. And thanks to the Jan 6 Committee's Chair and co-Chairs, Bennie Thompson and  Liz Cheny, respectively) for guiding viewers and witnesses through the mire and muck of Trumpville. And thanks to Michael Cohen, for his fall from grace, imprisonment, and self-redemption to speak out about Trumpism. And thanks to others for background context from their own 'Trump' experiences. (Note the proper name of the 'Jan 6 Select Committe' is  U.S. House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.)

— — — — -

Today’s ‘Jan 6' hearing brought to mind watching two prior televised hearings equal to the Jan 6 House Select Committee Hearings’ import: the McCarthy Army Hearing in 1954‘ (“Have you no sense of decency, Senator McCarthy”), and the Watergate Hearings (1971’s “lordy there are tapes”).

All three hearings originate from the actions and/or warped thinking of sociopaths who somehow slithered to national attention in the age of television.

McCarthy died young. Nixon resigned during his second term. Trump, if not sent to prison, and even then, must be permanently barred from ever again filling any elected position or even serving in any public post.

(But even if Trump is banned from future elections, that might not be enough to neutralize Trump — recall that Adolph Hitler served less than a year of a five-year sentence for his 1924 seditious coup attempt to overthrow Germany’s Weimar Republic…much like with Trump’s Jan 6, 2021 coup attempt.)

Also, in the three American near-misses cited above, television, the nineteenth-twentieth century common man’s voyeuristic ticket to the world around us, opened windows to places that confirmed many of our suspicions, repelled us and yet had us fascinated to want more.

Yes, many of us were frightened as Hell sitting in the virtual front row of life’s Play. And those scary actors! But it all added up to great entertainment the evening before we had to return to work at the soup factory…and we remember our emotions as we watched.  Those peaks (‘highs’?) still reside as faint outlines in our minds…and we welcome  their return as new stuff appears from the foggy bog of American culture.

America's vicarious TV hearings, IMO, also ‘jumped’ America into a national addictions just as pernicious as real narcotics. And those experiences groomed us into real substance abuses, e.g., ‘Crack’, “Meth’, ‘Oxy’, Molly…all high-emotional-cost, escapist, chemical boosts that for a short time have given America repeats of the thrills we first felt on a national scale as we watched real life on television.

Now we are again via televised hearings we are watching from front row seats the unpeeling of the Trump orange (double entendre).

This time the destruction of America, by Trump, was narrowly avoided… largely because the plans of psychotic minds seem always to fall apart from the over-reaching hubris of their human hosts. (I distance the evil(ill) mind from its physical host in the belief that the illness is its own ‘self’, apart and above the human host.)  'Trumpism’, the extension of Trump's evil intentions into conned followers are are manifestations of an ill brain.

There is a kind of reptilian ‘beauty’ to Trump’s “-osis”. Trump , as reported he said, didn’t fear the Jan 6, 2021, mob, with their military-grade automatic weapons, because in his snake-kin inner brain, he ‘knew’ the mob and the surrounding crescendo-building chaos was the product of his own subliminal, rarely explicit manipulations of his staff and his zombie proxies at Congress, at state legislatures and the mob actors themselves.

‘Trump’, the ill brain, must be named to force it from the shadows into the light. We don’t see ‘Trump’ the brain. What we see is a shade, a sidewalk shadow cast by the ‘brain’ itself..like a 1930–40s BW horror film, that operates from a human body that is too quickly chosen and fits like a cheap suit.. but regardless is functional!

Evil ‘shades’ are not perfect in everything; they lack human aesthetics and are impatient to get about their business…so they sometimes make bad choices about things trivial to them even if important to the rest of us, such as physical health, nice ties, et. -that is how we catch them out!). 

Trump is not a perfect evil, nor perhaps not even earning top-of class evil when compare to world-class evil entities such as Adolph, or Genghis who killed millions. But if not neutralized, for good, Trump potentially may end American democracy. May the gods bless and continue to watch over us.
