First-hand report from Gestapo-occupied DC. It's not pretty. [View all]
My attorney daughter lives on Capitol Hill in DC, a block behind the Library of Congress. She calls us daily. This afternoon's call was not pleasant. Here is her report of life under the Gestapo.
DC RESTAURANTS report a 25% drop in business since the Gestapo appeared.
VIDEOING THE GESTAPO. Anyone who films the Gestapo is attacked, phone taken away, cuffed, and hauled off.
EASTERN MARKET. Daughter went to Eastern Market as she does every Saturday morning. Eastern Market is the only one of the old, original market houses remaining in DC. Farmers and other merchants rent space and sell their goods. The market itself is a big old brick building covering two blocks. It is surrounded by small shops, restaurants, and bars. Very friendly, convivial place, everyone loves it. She walks over on Saturday morning, eats breakfast, watches people while sipping coffee, shops for her week’s supply of vegetables, visits around, and comes home.
This morning the Gestapo was around Eastern Market. People would approach, see the Gestapo, turn around. Daughter went straight to the vegetable sellers, got her week’s veggies, and went home. She reported the crowd was well below normal.
HOMELESS. Homeless in DC have stuff – tents, backpacks, grocery carts, clothing, etc. The Gestapo spent yesterday throwing all the belongings from homeless people into trash trucks and hauling it away.
IT’S COMING. Daughter has been talking with many of her friends – all well-off professionals, men and women, white, Hispanic, Black, Muslim, some come from elsewhere, others are DC natives. All are pissed off beyond belief. Their consensus is that at some point, some serious shit will hit the fan – no one knows what will set it off, no one knows what it will be, no one knows what will be the response -- and they are betting it comes sooner rather than later.
