“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert.” –J. Robert Oppenheimer
It has come to my attention that flights into Washington, DC on January 5 and 6 have been uniformly cut back on ALL domestic – but NOT international flights.
I have been informed that the major airline schedules into DC [Dulles (IAD), Reagan (DCA), and Baltimore (BWI)] on the 5th and 6th have CHANGED the scheduled arrivals.
Not only have they CUT the number of arrivals into DC on the 5th and 6th, they have CHANGED the arrival times.
You can ARRIVE into DC/Baltimore IN THE AM on the 4th…or on 7th and afterwards…
….but NOT the 5th or the 6th. Only late afternoon arrivals on the 5th or 6th.
The entire ramp at IAD will be DEAD up to 3 PM on the 5th and 6th….and ONLY on the 5th and 6th. Thousands of airline and airport workers will be sitting idle on the mornings of the 5th and 6th!
And just to drive the point home…
NOTE: this is ONLY for domestic arrivals into DC, not international arrivals. And it’s not just one airline…it’s ALL of them.
Please feel free to fact-check me on this. Hopefully I’m wrong.
Try any airline. Try to get into one of these three DC airports anytime in the morning on the 5th or 6th. Then look for an AM arrival on the 7th or afterwards.
Please feel free to update me on your success or failure in this regard. Also, if the airlines suddenly reverse this, or come out with a statement.
And please tell me what you think of the title question. Are these airlines now part of a CONSPIRACY?
Thank you!

PS –
It will be possible to gather evidence of this later.
Airports have web pages showing arrivals and departures, just like they have on the monitors inside (well, not exactly the same, but the same idea). Below is the website for Dulles airport.
Please note that they only show the current day and the next day. So the 5th will become visible on the 4th, etc. We will want to capture images of this on the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th, IMO, as well as other random times. Of course, people like Lin and Sidney can sue them for their records, but personally I expect lying communists to lie, so they will need to be “commie-checked”.
To quote a family friend who had a HORRIBLE year in 2014, I don’t mean to be unlady-like, but 2020 can eff itself. (She really did post that on LifeLog.)
Just to get it out of our systems, in this space today, please, air all grievances. Things like:
Two weeks to flatten the curve
Face diapers required
Attempts to recreate the 1918 Influenza epidemic, the Great Depression AND the Irish Potato Famine all at once (plant based proteins for steak eaters?)
Dancing “healthcare workers”
Karens
No where to get a drink or coffee with a friend
Weddings and funerals cancelled
Free exercise of Religion suspended
Pennies from the millionaires (and at least a couple billionaires) on Capitol Hill
ONE THIRD of small businesses closed…PERMANENTLY
TESTING TESTING AND MORE TESTING
Mail that takes 10 days to move less than 200 miles
This is not meant to be a definitive list. Really, add more in the comments.
And now for the traditional song that no one knows why it is tradition or what the words are supposed to mean.
And…DICK CLARK??????

As usual, this is the daily thread, the place to put all information that needs to be out there – Q drops, Q drop decodes, riot information, news flashes, Chy-na flu updates, fashionable mask photos, satire, memes, and of course cute animal videos.
In the meantime, the short and sweet version of “THE RULES” is here borrowed from Tuesday:
The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog it out.
This site is a celebration of the natural rights endowed to humans by our Creator as well as those enshrined in the Bill of Rights adopted in the founding documents of the United States of America. Within the limits of law, how we exercise these rights is part of the freedom of our discussion.
Fellow tree dweller Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:
No food fights…okay wrapped chocolate miniatures are fair game
No running with scissors, we’re going to need them to cut wrapping paper
If you bring snacks, be sure they are made with bacon
Auntie DePat’s requests as we are all, ahem, adults, not uncivilized pygmies:
If you see something has not been posted, do us all a favor, and post it. Please, do not complain that it has not been done yet.
Please, check the CURRENT page, at least, of posts for the item you have to bring to the tree. It may well have been posted previously. Twinsing can’t usually be helped, but for Q-Treepers pressed for time, all efforts to keep the current page, at least, repeat free will prevent additional comments that call for the scroll wheel.
The scroll wheel on your mouse can be your friend. As mature adults, please use it here in the same manner you would in avoiding online porn.
Thank you so much for any and all attention to such details. It is GREATLY appreciated by more than one party here.
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was in the beginning with God; 3all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. 4In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. 6There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7He came for testimony, to bear witness to the light, that all might believe through him. 8He was not the light, but came to bear witness to the light. 9The true light that enlightens every man was coming into the world. 10He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world knew him not. 11He came to his own home, and his own people received him not. 12But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God; 13who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. 14And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father. 15(John bore witness to him, and cried, “This was he of whom I said, `He who comes after me ranks before me, for he was before me.'”) 16And from his fulness have we all received, grace upon grace. 17For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18No one has ever seen God; the only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has made him known.
Prayers for the nation, the salvation of humanity, and all of us here as well as our families are welcome.
