There are numerous reports of the U.S. military engaging in recent political activity that has raised some eyebrows. Many are wondering what is going on…. and there’s likely an alarming reason. Considering the specific examples over the past few years, I would argue the Democrats are positioning for use of the military in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act -or- by an expressed act of congress.
Following the evidence to its logical conclusion is simple. The political apparatus of the DC state has framed a fraudulent narrative that “insurrection” against the federal government is an ongoing possibility.
Toward that end the U.S. military national guard troops have been sent to Washington DC indefinitely (current deployment extended through May).
If we consider there is a reasonable argument now surfacing about states choosing to nullify federal laws, it is not a stretch to see the insurrection narrative as a proactive assertion to support the deployment of active military against any state who would be non-compliant.
Would this violate the Posse Comitatus Act? Quite possibly, yes; it would depend on whether congress passed an expressed act authorizing military troops against specific state action.
When we consider that most of the constitutional checks and balances have been deconstructed or usurped by hardline leftist action; including the weaponization of the intelligence community, and specifically the FBI as a federal law enforcement agency; we are left to recognize that any Posse Comitatus violation would likely be supported by a leftist and aligned media arguing that the military is needed in order to stop a rebellion of states.
If our suspicions/predictions are correct, this would explain exactly why there has been a recent uptick in the visual politicization of the military; including empirical examples of emboldened U.S. military leadership openly engaged in domestic political advocacy against Tucker Carlson.
The marching of the U.S. military through the Capitol building to the offices of Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene would be another orchestrated optic sending the same political message.
These are not examples of the military “woke” community advancing political correctness, instead these are examples of advanced politicization of the military (in an open context) in preparation for domestic political use. The “insurrection narrative” is then considered a seed planted to blossom later in support of the overall agenda.
One of the data-points highlighting future intent was clearly visible and seemingly overlooked by almost all media. It happened when Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman first became a political whistle-blower against the office of President Trump.
It was not the details of the Vindman accusation that stood out, though that was the aspect the media focused on. What was more concerning was the lack of action by the Pentagon after Vindman compromised his position as an advisor to the commander in chief.
2019 – When we consider that Lt. Col. Vindman was carrying out what he believed to be his role; and when you overlay his military purpose; and when we accept Vindman was assisting CIA agent Eric Ciaramella in constructing his dossier to remove President Trump; and when we stand back and look at the aggregate interests involved, including Vindman’s divided loyalties toward a foreign power; and when we consider there was ZERO push-back from the ranks of military leadership, specifically the Joint Chiefs of Staff; and when you accept Vindman was simply allowed to return to his post inside the White House – where he remains today; well, the alarming aspect increases in direct proportion to the definition of the word: “coup”.
I would encourage all readers to think long and hard those factual data-points.
Despite his admitted usurpation of President Trump policy, Vindman was sent back to his post in the NSC with the full support of the United States Department of Defense.
The onus of action to remove Vindman from the NSC did not lay at the feet of the White House and National Security advisor Robert O’Brien; upon whose action the removal of Vindman could be positioned as political. The necessary obligation to remove Lt. Col Vindman resides purposefully with the Dept. of Defense.
The Pentagon could easily withdraw Vindman from his position at the National Security Council; yet, it does not…. and it has not. WHY?
There is a code within the military whereby you never put your leadership into a position of compromise; ie. “never compromise your leadership”.
In this example, President Trump cannot remove Vindman from the White House NSC advisory group due to political ramifications and appearances… The Joint Chiefs certainly recognize this issue; it is the very type of compromise they are trained to remove. Yet they do nothing to remove the compromise. They do nothing to assist.
Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman was the majority (#1) source for the material CIA operative Eric Ciaramella used in a collaborative effort to remove President Trump from office. Let me make this implication crystal clear:
The United States Military appears to be collaborating with the CIA to remove a U.S. President from office.
The Pentagon has done nothing, absolutely nothing, to countermand this implication. The Secretary of Defense has done nothing to remove the conflict that Vindman represents within the National Security Council. The Joint Chiefs of Staff have done nothing, absolutely nothing, to diminish the appearance of an agenda toward the removal of President Trump.
This is not a complex issue.
No-one in the foreign policy group is going to take any advice or opinion from Vindman. No-one is going to allow him to engage in material of a sensitive or confidential nature. Lt. Col. Vindman has compromised himself; and therefore eliminated any usefulness to his prior assignment. Yet his command does nothing? (more)
That was the alarming lack of action from the Pentagon everyone seemed to overlook. Why did senior military leadership not remove Vindman from his post at the White House once he clearly compromised his ability to carry out his duty? Their lack of action was stunning when you consider their primary obligation.
Fast forward to 2021 and now a very political military officer, General Russel Honore’, is appointed by Nancy Pelosi to be in charge of the military deployment around Washington DC. When you consider the political ramifications of the military supporting a false narrative, this is more than just another data-point.
The increased frequency of the military being politicized is what leads me to believe this phase is all just a public relations pre-positioning. I fully expect to see the standing U.S. military deployed against any state who stands up against unconstitutional federal demands… the likely origination point will be federal COVID mandates.
The leftists are weaponizing COVID mandates for a political agenda. It is only a matter of time before states start to rebel against federal COVID demands. That, in my opinion, will be the inflection point. That will be when the U.S. military is held as a compliance activation against any rebellious state. It could be another issue that activates this triggering of the military (ex. state election laws), but as it stands right now federal COVID compliance seems the most likely trigger.
Bottom line… The American electorate are being positioned to accept deployment of the U.S. military against U.S. citizens, under the guise of insurrection and/or a public threat. That is why we are seeing so much willful politicization of the military.
If you live in a region or state that values individual liberty and/or freedom, you are likely in a location that leftists consider a risk to their ability to execute their agenda. You are likely right now being defined as a ‘dissident’, or possibly a “domestic terrorist.” As a result, get ready to see this type of activity in your neighborhood.
Vindmans Back
It started under Obama who turned the military into an arm of the progressive leftwing nuts, now those who converted to that idiocy are in positions of power. I’d expect nothing less than the pussification of the military and it’s organizations. There will be lawsuits challenging what is happening via using DOD to enforce demorat doctrine.
What federal (or for that matter any) institution is now not politically compromised? This is deeply troubling. Which is remaining that has not not gone woke? All we have are some states and localities. Important to get involved now at state and local levels.
EVERY institution in America is now corrupt. Term limits and criminalizing lobbying are the only things that can save this republic.
Oh we can take care of the lobbyists. Boycott major corporations when possible. Even if you stop shopping for 5 items from these places. If all 80 million of us do that, it will make a dent. All of us, switch to buying and selling used items.
Avoid K street types, shop locally owned, small businesses.
I’m only spending money on absolutely necessary items. No fun shopping for me, If I need something like that, I look for used items from my community.
Exactly – in my house, if we cannot find something Made In USA, or the majority of if Made In USA, we have decided to just do without that item.
Historically, tragedy always results when a “politicized” military force is sent to a real fight a motivated competent enemy, in open warfare. It is historically equally tragic when the competent elements of a military force are ground away forcing the deployment of the politicized and indoctrinated core to actual combat.
It would be considered racisss to repel a Chinese invasion.
.
Hey!
That’s just their ‘cultural norms’ . . .
Finally someone else is on same pg
How soon before Biden* offers amnesty and/or citizenship to illegal aliens in exchange for a few years military service?
They be will sent to some Obama’s war soon. All enemies getting is his way will get bombed. Watch out world.
No Biden is not making decisions. Dude is senile.
With 3 family members currently serving, I can tell you the leftist, progressive transformation of the US Military was perfectly executed by Obama and his sycophants.
The “R’s” that were supposed to be standing up for us, and the constitution, went and hid in the corner with their binky again.
I rarely play the “what if” game. But, man what I wouldn’t give to go back in time and drop a nuke on Woodstock during the concert, and San Franchitco during the summer of love.
So many of our problems would go away overnight.
Many who were at Woodstock grew up and saw the light and are now conservatives. Today’s colleges and universities are the new breeding grounds for commie ideology.
Some did but most didn’t see the light. I know, they all ended up in Colorado and now New Mexico. We will never recover.
Kinda like the myth that everyone leaving California is conservative. Nice line of shit but not even close. Ask Texas.
As for seeing the light, I am glad they pulled their head out of their 4th point of contact. But, the damage they did to me and mine while they were “finding themselves” has been epic. Continues today.
Colleges and Universities have been commie breeding grounds since the Beatniks of the 50’s. McCarthy was not wrong.
Bill Ayres and Bernadine Dohrn went to the University of Chicago to indoctrinate skulls full of mush. They succeeded. They and their ilk should have been executed for the lives they took in bombings while members of the Weather Underground.
You sound like you were at Kent State – with the NG holding a rifle.
On May 4, 1970, at Kent State University in northeastern Ohio four unarmed college students were killed and nine wounded by the Ohio National Guard. This was after four days of a peaceful rally against the Military Industrial Complex and it’s war machines invasion of Viet Nam and Cambodia.
These children of the sixties were smarter and more patriotic than you know. Children of world war two veterans that learned at schools that were not yet indoctrinated by Marxists. They were eager to reap the rewards gained by parents saving us from Nazis. Having a good job, a family and a nice house. They were not the property of the State to be sent to kill and die for a people they never heard of. They were protesting against the same people that support the terrorists of today in this Country. The Banksters, the military industrial complex, the multinationals. It was the Democrat Johnson that got us into that war. You got it all wrong, we were the majority protesting the war and a summer of love is a good thing. We were united against the machine and political parties or ideologies had nothing to do with Woodstock. Wish we were as united against the left as we were back then.
You don’t make any sense, so you were fighting communists while being a communist.
Maybe you should’ve fought to free the Vietnamese and not against them.
My mother and stepfather lost there homeland because fools like you didn’t want to help protect them from the communist.
In the end it was many vietnamese and there families destroyed because of your fight against the “left”.
I think you should review your belief system and who you were actually helping during those protests.
Yup
That wouldn’t change anything in the now. The people who went to Woodstock or just people like me who wanted to listen to music and have fun. We didn’t grow up to be communists we grew up to be Patriots. The people in San Francisco for just a bunch of temporary bums looking to spit in society’s face they all grew up and moved on for the most part the ones that didn’t are dead, I know I was at both. I served in the military and I’m now a retired engineer and hardcore conservative
Focus on what you can control in Life. The globalist love to control us, one of the more effective ways to go around globalist is to go out of your way and become more self sufficient. Learn the skills do not depend on the Federal Government and same goes with the States. The federal Government controls the states via the purse. Follow this new law and you will get money don’t and no money. The first step is to deny Federal Education Dollars and stop following the Dept of Ed dictates then on to other areas for the States.
Buy and sell used items in your community. Also buy from small local businesses. Starve K street corporations who control Congress.
Sure we may see a recession, but it’s not my fault for quitting to play a rigged game they control.
I’m done, recession, depression… if that’s the price of liberty. Great. At least I’m not fighting WWII or any wars. This is small price to pay considering what has been given for our freedom in the past.
I suggested on another site perhaps the deployment to defend against deplorables might be actually to stop insurrection from the left’s own paramilitary. Blantifa is just nuts enough to grass roots organize 10 to 20 thousand and wreak havoc in DC. It didn’t look good for PDT when they did and would be same for Biden and the Dems. The Dems would not hesitate to kill deplorables or blantifa but if they used force against the latter could drive quite a wedge between Leftist leadership and blantifa.
Anyhow just a different angle. SD you could be 100% correct. Either way you really have to look at the effect the Obama admin had on our military for 8 years. I hate to say it but I almost hope we get in a scuffle. I want to see these pink hatters go all navy seal. I can’t see any one who would traditionally be part of the combat forces willingly stay or enlist now. At some point this new woke entity is going to have to fight. There first test could be resistance from the right or it could be foreign but sooner or later they will be tested.
My dear Treepers.
You’ll need to get out more.
President Trump retreated to Valley Forge, to get some rest, after what he just went thru.
It was hard enough to watch it. He just picked a warmer place, to get re-energized for up coming battles.
One doesn’t retain, Individual freedom, by pushing a button or picking low hanging fruit.
Even pain and suffering enters the task of staying free.
Evil doesn’t sleep, or work, raise kids, pay bills or fight itself.
When you have 80+ million Trump voters, not everybody is standing on their laurels.
I don’t remember a day since the President was nominated in 2016, where evil took a minute off, since then, Americans have died, they’re sitting in jail cells with no bond and being hunted by rabid FBI agents as we speak.
We have to pick our spot, no matter how small, where we can make a difference.
There are millions of Patriots doing that right now. The media is doing everything they can to hide the work.
This a game to them. Crisis makes them money. News is down 30% since ‘orange man bad’ had the election stolen. Everyday a reporter has been slipping up, and doing their job, this time for a real reason. Think how a reporter feels, when they don’t have to remember their own deceptions, it’s actually a true story. They are now Trump trained.
There is a lot of heavy lifting going on at the ground level. Mechanisms are being made to take the best direction on the ground.

The Americans suffering the most from this occupation need money, any amount from enough of us, will be plenty to help their plight.
Right now voters who hated our great President, are starting to miss him. Don’t let these folks forget what they are losing right now by this siege.
A Patriot reminded me recently, this last strict order PDJT gave us, was to stand down. He ‘will’ be back at full steam at just the right time.
With the amount of consumers, this movement has, we could starve evil the death.
We lost some crucial battles, in the last 365 days.
We are still in the fight, no matter who thinks what, this group of Americans are the largest, smartest, toughest Army, in the world. We are a solid 25% of the world’s economy. That is the spear, use it wisely.
Stand down, doesn’t mean sit down and do nothing.
Store food. Two years worth. Have guns and bullets to protect yourself and your food get out of the big cities while you can. When it hits the fan they’ll starve not us
The is why the Q narrative was such a lie. The Military was never going to help Trump.
It was only going to remove him.
And this is why Trump will never run for President again, and probably no one except THE CHOSEN will. Our country has been taken over in a Military Coup and no one, especially the cowards in Congress and the Supreme Court, want to address it.
But THEY ALL KNOW.
Just saw this about Vindman on the Gateway Pundit. The snakes never slither away.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/03/ba-ack-former-soviet-alexander-vindman-wants-conservative-media-sued-shut-opposing-views/
Of course he does. He helped impeach a President for having opposing views.
All these people are old and still live in the days of when they were young and their brains could function they can’t give up their power why can’t younger people take over some things it’s a new world folks.
? There are a bunch of Woke idiots that are young. Not sure what you are trying to say here but you do not make sense. Age does not have zipped to do with this other than the “privileged” spoil brat generation does not have a clue to what the previous generations did so they can have $800 phones, cars, food choices and internet services.
Did you have to walk barefoot to school 20 miles and back for us to have Chinese children make us cellphones? Didn’t have cars back in your day old timer, you must be about 130 years old. Access to processed food is only hurting Americans not helping them. I think his point is most of congress is geriatric. Military leaders are old. Your president has dementia. And many of our elders today are in fact insane leftists.
get off my lawn
Nancy Pelosi and Mitt Romney are woke idiots and they are old.
The fool who thinks this is a “new world” is the same fool who followed along in Germany from 1933 to 1945…
“National Socialism will use its own revolution for the establishing of a New World Order.” – Adolf Hitler (1889-1945)
The “younger people” whose brains may or may not have finished developing around 21 to 25 years don’t have the experiential knowledge to make good judgement calls on complex socio-economic issues. You don’t even know the history of you “younger people” who also followed willingly along with Mao Zedong’s Cultural Revolutions that murdered tens of millions of Chinese from 1966 to 1976 so as to his “new world” in China.
Mao, Stalin, Hitler all loved the “younger people” because they are traditionally the easy to persuade to follow who ever has the power. You don’t even know the history of the world to know that their “new world” isn’t new at all. It’s the same as the old being regurgitated and you swallowing it up just like every generation of “younger people” always do. Oh, and I’m not writing this to get through to you either. I’m writing this to all of those old people you libeled and disrespected. So we can laugh out loud at you…
“How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don’t think.” – Adolph Hitler (1889-1945)
Now y’all can excuse me while I kick another can down the road for a bit.
Bravo Arthur, Bravo.
It’s not a new world. It’s the same old sht. And the young can’t take over anything because this generation of young is dumber than dirt.
So I guess all those Red State Military families whose sons and daughters are the majority of the National Guard are ok with the targeting of their friends and familes???????
Some may quit when it’s asked of them, but sadly many will comply rather than see a career and extra income and retirement go away. The human mind can justify any evil to preserve self. History is replete with examples of this.
A lot of them will go along with it. It’s a group mentality, peer pressure thing. Only the truly brave ones will say no.
Perhaps they might say to the illegal orders, “yes, sir!!”
Then kinda sorta accidentally might become lost on the way to the mission. Lost for days. Maybe weeks. It happens. The list of MIA is lengthy. We pray for their safe return to base.
Or everyone in the unit “comes down with the flu”, or amazingly, maybe all the vehicles were not properly maintained and won’t run. Shoulda checked that oil! Transmissions can be finicky.
The mechanics might find nothing can be fixed very soon, just gonna take a long, long time to ever get any vehicles out.
All kinds of things might go wrong on a military mission. No guarantee of success. Always very risky.
Everything might just go SNAFU and become so FUBAR that its a total cluster.
Once again who is really running this country? Who is the puppet master? Everyone who attended DC in Jan 6th are being rounded up and prosecuted for entering or being near the Capital building. Many are donating for their cause. Are those donating be put on a watch list? All those being rounded up need to file a class action law suit. The doors were opened and they were signaled in. John Sullivan went in and is now free. Prosecutions for one group ,but not for the other?
The restoration has been underway. Corruption like Cancer takes time to treat with efficacy.
States will be held as “insurrection” due to COVID restrictions – I remember the troops in Oxford Ms – my father was trapped “behind the lines” of the siege. Troops with blockades and search of all cars in and out – citizens in lockdown 24/hrs a day for weeks. History will repeat itself – and the military will enforce it.
Remember in the siege of Oxford – you had to get permission from the military to enter or leave Oxford. All weapons were confiscated including bottle openers and pocket knives. Food sources ran out. There were threats to cut power and water. The military did not waiver.
remember in 1962 – their justification of military lockdown of a city was a college student.
Funny that 2A was put in place specifically if government (or invasion by foreign armies) ever turned on its people.
Aren’t legislators supposed to be representatives of their constituents and states, not conspiring to send armies to enslave them?
“Power tends to corrupt. Absolute power corrupts absolutely” was an opinion. Do they have to prove it?
I’m starting to believe that Pelosi, et al, are more afraid of Antifa/BLM making a move on the Capitol than MAGA folks. She and the Dimocrats have seen the destruction wrought in Portland and Seattle by those groups. MAGA people don’t burn federal buildings as is going on in those west coast cities.
It was Antifa that led unwitting MAGA folks into the Capitol on Jan.6. They were the ones breaking windows and when Trump supporters figured them out they tried to stop them. The politicians in D.C. know this, but the left is using Jan.6 as an excuse to hunt down and jail conservatives who were there, even those not directly involved with any breach of the building.
This enrages me. We are becoming Nazi Germany.
The National Guard troops have become a virtual Praetorian guard for Congress and the rest of the ruling class.
A truly excellent article about this issue by a very concerned Rod Dreher:
“US Military: Social Justice Warriors”
https://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/us-military-social-justice-warriors-tucker-carlson/
“We’re from the government and we’re here to help.”
President Reagan’s infamous ‘most fearful nine words in the English language.’
“…let us not rail about justice as long as we have arms and the freedom to use them.” ~ Frank Herbert.
If the military decides to simply amplify the liberal wet dream of a peace force with dresses, then within the next 10 yrs., I believe our pupils will be learning both Chinese and Spanish. We legal American patriots will be pawns for the leftist prog WOKE Dems as they collude with our foreign enemies and change the American way of life forever.
… Or Poosy Commie Taught Us.
Meanwhile back at the ranch….reality bites.
“And still the senatorial class in Washington – one of the most porcine and self-serving in history – persists with the same ensemble: delusional budgets, Endless War in irrelevant global armpits, adolescent litigiousness and the remorseless extermination of home-grown wealth creation. America didn’t lose fast. It lost slow.”

There is no such thing as “a rebellion of States”. There is only a rebellion by the federal government. The created is rebelling against the Creator.
It has been going on for many years and an ignorant populace has allowed it. It always boils down to “CONSENT”. It always has and always will.
what the hell has happened to our country.
we fought wars to keep this kinda crap from happening here.
now we welcome it.
so all those wars were for nothing.
we lost our best…for nothing.
we’ve pissed on the legacy of Washington.
Right – it is so sad how the weasels in D.C. dis-honor the honored name of General and President George Washington.
On re is that French Cajun SOB who ordered house to house confiscation of firearms during Catarina while knocking grandma to the ground to take her firearm away
And he still seems to be “stuck on stupid.”
I don’t know who Sundace is, don’t know profession, don’t know how these incredible insights are formed or how it’s are written so powerfully, inspiringly and succinctly.
I know is that I read extensively and it’s mostly repeated dribble.
The depth of these insights that I cannot find anywhere else is why I repeatedly return to CTH. I love this site and its members.
If Sundances’ assessment(s) come to fruition, what then must one do … what’s our recourse?
Anyway, there you have it —
this politicizing of the military is so if the people revolt against the tyranny the military will attack the citizens and side with the politicians.
This is very scary. I knew the Democrats were up to something because they have created many distractions for the public such as CRT, gender identity, white supremacy. Meanwhile, they are politicizing our military, supporting Palestinians instead of Israel and terrorists are on the rise, dividing the country by race, dumbing down our kids and the next generation in our schools with mathematics is white supremacy, common core, critical race theory, etc….
America is the last hope for freedom in the world. If the Democrats succeed then our country is lost along with our freedoms.
