In Edward Luttwak’s extremely interesting book Coup D’état: A Practical Handbook, he outlines a series of practical necessities a successful overthrow entails.
A neutralized opposition, media control, military support, dedicated and discrete supporters throughout government offices, speed of implementation, a detailed and logistically feasible organizational action plan,
and the immediate institutionalization of the new government are all among the key elements to prevailing.
Since what occurred on January 6 not only lacked any of these elements but, by all accounts, had the exact opposite characteristics means, again, the premise that an actual government overthrow was in process is ludicrous.

Danchenko, the main source for the discredited anti-Trump dossier, agrees to be defended by law firm representing Clinton cronies under Durham scrutiny washex.am/32MzUuC
Durham’s team asked a judge to “inquire into a potential conflict of interest” related to the lawyers for Igor Danchenko, noting that a colleague at their firm is representing the campaign and several of its employees "in matters before the Special Counsel."
Durham’s team also hinted that former Clinton campaign members will be called to testify, which could be "a potential conflict.” They said it is likely the defense law firm “already has obtained privileged information” from the Clinton campaign about Danchenko and the dossier.
“Taliban militants pulled guns on United Nations aid workers and took off with 3.7 tonnes of Australian flour meant to be delivered to some of Afghanistan's poorest families as the war-torn country faces a catastrophic famine.”
“The Australian Government donated the vital baking staple through the World Food Program as part of a $100 million handout which also includes other UN agencies.”
This year governments across the developed world have issued a flurry of policies designed to ‘nudge’ people to get the vaccine, such as requiring vaccine passports to enter leisure venues.
In some countries, those nudges quickly turned into shoves. In November, Austria pioneered the ‘lockdown for the unvaccinated’, making it illegal for the unvaccinated to leave the house without a state-mandated excuse.
The big news announced on Tuesday was that the administration would buy and distribute half a billion at-home tests to anyone who asks because, he said, testing is key to getting COVID under control.
But Biden promised the same thing last year. In fact, the very first item on his seven-point plan was to “fix Trump’s testing-and-tracing fiasco to ensure all Americans have access to regular, reliable, and free testing.”
Enter 3 retired U.S. Army Generals: Major Generals Paul D. Eaton and Antonio M. Taguba and Brigadier General Steven M. Anderson.
In a WaPo opinion piece, “3 retired generals: The military must prepare now for a 2024 insurrection,” they contend that events in 2020 revealed an incipient military coup and that, to save our nation, the U.S. military must act preemptively—radically and unilaterally.
▪China's coronavirus has now killed more than 806,400 Americans, according to the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center.
▪Biden sees China merely as a "competitor," not, more appropriately, as an adversary or enemy.
There are Chinese business links with Biden's family and with members of his administration and doubtless he wants to accommodate donors wishing to do business in China. Biden speaks as if he has never let go of his decades-old benign view of the nature of Chinese communism.
