War Game

Prepare yourself for the October surprise and crack down by the police state. In their own words. Top war mongers work to fake a reason to jail protesters and blame victims of the state.

To be ready for the next FBI false flag "January 6th" operation see the plotters fantasy of infiltrating religious and political groups to set them up. Also see the Johns Hopkins Center & Bill Gates video "Event 201" a pandemic tabletop exercise that simulated the plandemic a month before the release of the Sars Cov 2 enhanced bat bioweapon in Wuhan. The1968 British documentary WAR GAME by the same name about a Vietnamese nuclear war with England! Also watch any training film on military & police crushing free speech and anti-war protests.

The documentary filmed the tabletop red/blue exercise about what might have happened if Jan 6 rioters had enlisted higher ups in the military--and the national guard sent to protect the Capital had turned on the police and sided with the rioters.

The people involved are all solid government and ex-gov officials with excellent reputations and solid experience. The production crew are all ex-military with good reasons to be concerned about the infiltration of extremists in the military.

There are a lot of bad-faith review writers commenting. Ignore them and watch for yourself. It plays out in a realistic manner and the ending is thought provoking.

With the potential for another "Jan 6" looming next year we all need to think about what might happen and be prepared to be on the side of our government and the non-violent transfer of power.

There are clearly people throwing 1s at this who haven't actually watched it. Even the longer written reviews with low ratings are not motivated by the quality of the documentary or the importance of the subject, but by partisan defensiveness.

The presence of retired service members and serious former government officials who served under administrations of both parties adds weight to the simulation. The documentary, while not perfect, is generally well done and offers a good look at how it progressed.

Obviously this is framed in relation to January 6, and how you feel about that is going to color your perspective on the doc. But if you take the subject seriously, don't let the bad faith review bombing and conspiracy theorists scare you away. Watch and judge for yourself.

I almost didn't watch it because of one 4-star review but wanted to see for myself and I did my own research. I don't think we watched the same documentary. I thought it was compelling to watch. It wasn't a scripted film, but the filming of an actual exercise with a lot more bells and whistles than such an exercise would have had in real life. What's telling about this is that the insurrectionist team can lie with impunity and create all kinds of chaos and the government team has to abide by the rule of law and stick to the truth - just like one hopes the government would do in real life. So it isn't as gripping as it would be if Aaron Sorkin wrote the dialogue because these folks were behaving as best they could given the circumstances, trying to win a war game that - thank goodness - wasn't for real.

I have a lot of faith in our military, but it IS important to know that 1 in 5 insurrectionists were military, and many of our service men and women have been ill-treated, and could fall under the sway of someone like Michael Flynn. After watching The Brainwashing of My Dad, it's clear many people (military or not) are indoctrinated with false information and think they are being patriots but are just being manipulated, and the scenario portrayed in this movie is not that far-fetched. Mr. Goldsmith speaks to his own disillusionment eloquently and I don't think his concerns are overblown (and he actually testified before Congress so I think another reviewer protests too much).

Is this scenario scary? Sure. Is it possible? Yes. Being an American comes with rights and responsibilities. We must understand how government works, and what our responsibility is to uphold the Constitution. To be educated and informed, to fact-check stories and not rely on only one news source. To vote and to help ensure the safe secure transfer of power. It's an important, thought-provoking movie.

An undeniably entertaining and alarming documentary detailing a war game about a repeat of the January 6th 2021 insurrection in Washington. What it reveals is, to a certain extent, both reassuring and alarming. There are clearly aspects of American - and this will be mirrored in governments across the world - civil leadership that are not as grounded in the real concerns and practices of people who could potentially pose a real threat. I wasn't fully convinced that some of the failures of leadership in the game were shown to have convincingly serious enough ramifications. And whilst a report on the exercise has been shared at the highest level of the American government, the film ends with a sort of misty-eyed patriotism which suggests to me that there's a real danger of this being another exercise in liberal elites talking to themselves.
