  Reflecting the Authoritarian Climate, Washington Will Remain Militarized Until At Least March By Glenn Greenwald  by aletho The idea of troops in US streets for an extended period of time - an extreme measure even when temporary - has now become close to a sacred consensus Washington, DC has been continuously militarized beginning the week leading up to Joe Biden’s inauguration, when 20,000 National Guard troops were deployed onto the streets of the nation’s capital. The original justification was that this show of massive force was necessary to secure the inauguration in light of the January 6 riot at the Capitol.
