US is on the brink of election violence
‘they have not faced in living memory’:
international experts.

In a new 30-page report, a prominent group of experts that regularly monitors violence around the world has issued an unprecedented warning ahead of Tuesday’s U.S. presidential election.

Threat trackers at the International Crisis Group (ICG) have issued a warning that a polarized America faces “unfamiliar danger” in the coming days.

“While Americans have grown used to a certain level of rancor in these quadrennial campaigns, they have not in living memory faced the realistic prospect that the incumbent may reject the outcome or that armed violence may result,” the group writes.

The ICG released their findings last week that highlighted several factors that have the potential to result in violence on and around Election Day.

Violence spurred on potentially by the proliferation of online disinformation and hate speech, recent controversies surrounding racial justice in America, the rise of armed groups, and the possibility of a close or contested presidential election.

The group named President Donald J. Trump as the impetus to the impending dark time in American history, writing that his “toxic rhetoric and willingness to court conflict to advance his personal interests have no precedent in modern U.S. history.”

“The failure of democratic institutions to deliver a peaceful election and, depending on the result, transfer of power in the United States would be bad for the American people, for the country’s governance, for the nation’s credibility and thus its influence abroad, and for foreign partners who (even after four years of Trump) still turn to the U.S. for a measure of stability and security,” the report warned.

“With luck, and perhaps a little help from its friends, the U.S. could still avoid election trouble and emerge ready to begin repairing the social fractures that have helped bring it to this dangerous place.”

The White House is about to be officially on
lockdown with new ‘non-scalable’ fence:

According to one doctor whose practice is fewer than five blocks from the White House, downtown Washington, D.C. businesses are being told to board up their store-fronts and give their staff the week off.

According to NBC News’ Geoff Bennett,
the White House is now locking down.

“A federal law enforcement source tells NBC that beginning tomorrow, crews will build a ‘non-scalable’ fence to secure the White House complex, Ellipse and Lafayette Square.”
“250 National Guardsmen have been put on standby, reporting to Metro Police officials.”

Less than a month ago, Army leaders said that there was no plan to deploy troops for Election Day.

“We don’t police American streets,” Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy said at an event.
“There have been no requests from other agencies to support at this time but we’re always available to support.”

Those troops are now on “standby” just outside the city, prepared to police the streets of the American capital.

During the Black Lives Matter protests, Trump was rushed to the presidential bunker and remained there, despite no protesters breaching the White House fence.
He became the first to be put in the bunker since Vice President Dick Cheney who was rushed there on 9/11.

It’s unclear what the Trump White House is expecting from protests. If he wins, protests will likely resemble either the women’s march and March for our Lives or the unrest seen during Black Lives Matter protests.

During the BLM events, the FBI said that there were “opportunists” and “anarchists” who tried to take advantage of the protests and cause violence.

BLM protesters ultimately began grabbing these agitators and taking them to police officers to arrest if they disturbed property.
