SPECIAL NOTE: The coming days may be fraught; the FBI and other intelligence agencies are reporting on a high level of electronic insurrectionist chatter and the press is reporting increased communication of “Civil War” related talk, particularly from Republican associated sources. There is increasing evidence that the raid on the Capitol building was planned in advance and it is also looking more and more likely that members of Congress and other governmental agencies may have contributed intelligence, monetary support and planning. Many of us are tempted to say that this is not the America we know, but it is now. Be safe, be smart and maybe do a little long-range planning, as this looks to be something that will persist for quite some time.
