The headline stories today are large, and so is the background as these issues surface. Context becomes increasingly important as each aspect is reviewed. As you look at the stories, remember this context (emphasized as a reminder):
♦ TEAM One – The Department of State is aligned with the CIA. Their media PR firms are CNN, CNNi and the Washington Post. Their ideology is favorable to the United Nations. Their internal corruption is generally driven by relationship with foreign actors. References: Hillary Clinton, Clinton Global Initiative, John McCain, Qatar, Muslim Brotherhood, Samantha Powers, Susan Rice, Cass Sunstein, Brookings Institute, Lawfare, China-centric, Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Council on Foreign Relations.
♦ TEAM Two – The White House is aligned with the Pentagon (DoD) and National Security Council (NSC). Their media PR firms are domestic in nature. New York Times, Politico, etc. Their internal corruption is generally driven by domestic influence. References: Barack Obama, George Bush, Wall St, Big Banks, Multinational Corporations, Defense Contractors, FBI (state police), Judicial Branch, and community activists writ large. [Presidential elections only affect Team Two (nationalism -v- globalism). In the modern era Team One is independent.]
Today CNN, via Bob Woodward [Article Here] and The Washingon Post, via Robert Costa [Article Here] collaborate on a designed hit against one of the key corrupt actors on Team Two, Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley. CTH previously said this was coming: “Look for Joint Chief’s Chairman Mark Milley to be the guy who gets canned to protect Joe Biden. Mark Milley knows this is likely.”
The framework of the CNN article is that General Milley:
…”called a secret meeting in his Pentagon office on January 8 to review the process for military action, including launching nuclear weapons. Speaking to senior military officials in charge of the National Military Command Center, the Pentagon’s war room, Milley instructed them not to take orders from anyone unless he was involved.
“No matter what you are told, you do the procedure. You do the process. And I’m part of that procedure,” Milley told the officers, according to the book. He then went around the room, looked each officer in the eye, and asked them to verbally confirm they understood.
“Got it?” Milley asked, according to the book.
“Yes, sir.” ‘Milley considered it an oath,’ the authors write. (read more)
The framework of the Washington Post article paints Milley as even more rogue. A power hungry operator of the industrial military complex, defying civilian oversight:
(WaPo) […] In a pair of secret phone calls, Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, assured his Chinese counterpart, Gen. Li Zuocheng of the People’s Liberation Army, that the United States would not strike, according to a new book by Washington Post associate editor Bob Woodward and national political reporter Robert Costa.
One call took place on Oct. 30, 2020, four days before the election that unseated President Trump, and the other on Jan. 8, 2021, two days after the Capitol siege carried out by his supporters in a quest to cancel the vote.
The first call was prompted by Milley’s review of intelligence suggesting the Chinese believed the United States was preparing to attack. That belief, the authors write, was based on tensions over military exercises in the South China Sea, and deepened by Trump’s belligerent rhetoric toward China.
“General Li, I want to assure you that the American government is stable and everything is going to be okay,” Milley told him. “We are not going to attack or conduct any kinetic operations against you.”
In the book’s account, Milley went so far as to pledge he would alert his counterpart in the event of a U.S. attack, stressing the rapport they’d established through a backchannel. “General Li, you and I have known each other for now five years. If we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time. It’s not going to be a surprise.” (read more)
Yes, General Mark Milley is a power-hungry political manipulator and collaborator with the Deep State, in the effort to undermine President Donald J Trump. We already knew this…. {Go Deep} So, why is The WaPo and CNN hitting him now?
The answer is in the problematic sunlight facing the Fourth Branch of Government in the aftermath of the Afghanistan mess. CTH has been writing about this, because we knew a time would come when the coordinating participants were going to fracture in order to protect themselves.
“The deepest, swampiest part of the Deep State is protecting its interests against the outcome of a crisis in Afghanistan they collectively created. The picture has now emerged of their plan to blame the White House, and by extension Joe Biden along with the Pentagon.” {LINK}
“Modify the focus of your prism as you review all new events in/around Afghanistan to see the connective tissue between CNN, the State Department and CIA [strongest institution within the Intelligence Branch]. Then keep in mind, the Senate is in alignment with, and a facilitator for, the Intelligence Branch. As a consequence, the institution of the senate will align with the interests of the State Department; and, by default align with the CIA, intelligence community and CNN reporting.”
You think CNN and the Washington Post only recently came to the understanding that General Mark Milley was a corrupt, politically motivated actor, working on behalf of the interests of the Deep State [4th Branch]? Of course not. They are using the opportunity of this book by Woodward and Costa to hit Milley, place the blame for Afghanistan in his lap, and make him the scapegoat so that Joe Biden and the other participants can avoid further scrutiny. Their play is transparent.
Here’s the previous reminder about Mark Milley’s operations against Trump when CNN, WaPo and The Fourth Branch was supporting him:
JUNE 2021 – Statements made by Joint Chiefs Chairman General Mark Milley about his belief that President Trump was contemplating a post-election coup should not be viewed in a vacuum. Last month this same General Milley was defending the teaching of Critical Race Theory to West Point cadets. However, the comments Milley made last month, and more attributed today, only solidify several years of CTH watching Milley operate, and now we have answers to previous puzzling questions.
Remember, General Milley did some really odd things as Joint Chiefs Chairman under President Trump:
(1) Milley never removed Lt. Col Alexander Vindman from his White House post after the underling compromised his leadership position. The pentagon left Vindman on assignment to the NSC even after Vindman attempted to take-down President Trump.
(2) Milley was then slow to react to Navy Secretary Richard Spencer threatening President Trump; attempting to extort him into inaction over the disciplinary plans against the SEAL commando, Chief Petty Officer Edward Gallagher. And perhaps worst of all…
(3) Joint Chief Chairman Milley, and SoS Mike Pompeo traveled to Mar-a-Lago in December 2019, where they informed President Trump of military strikes in Syria and Iraq *after* they took place. [Background Here] [Background Here]. President Trump made Esper, Milley and Pompeo hold a press conference without Trump supporting them; then President Trump remained silent on the issue for days.
It seemed like CTH was alone in noticing the issues with the Pentagon and suspicions of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Defense Secretary Mark Esper and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley. However, a few days after the Mar-a-Lago incident, Col Douglas Macgregor expressed his own suspicions about the U.S. military attack in Iraq and Syria that paralleled our gut reaction. Macgregor stated he believed President Trump was being intentionally and “skillfully, misinformed”.
There were valid reasons for the suspicion around General Milley and the entire Pentagon apparatus.
Factually, President Trump’s strategic approach toward foreign threats and foreign intervention (through the use of geopolitical economic pressure) was a major paradigm shift that removed the Defense Department from a primary role, and placed them back into a more appropriate ‘contingency’ role when it came to foreign policy and national security.
It was obvious from the outset of the Trump administration that the Pentagon did not like that position.
Before explaining more, let us remember General Milley in May 2021 outlining his worldview on internal domestic politics.
Note how Milley connected the teaching of Critical Race Theory to his view that people attempted to “assault” the DC Capitol and “overturn the Constitution of the United States“. Watch this carefully, because in many ways he is saying the quiet thing out loud:
.
♦ In the big picture, it was not difficult to figure out why the Pentagon would be opposed to Trump.
During the 2016 Trump campaign and early administration, President Trump’s expressed foreign policy was viewed by NATO alliance members as a threat. President Trump dared to tell them their “cold war mentality” was outdated. Heck, the NATO members were simultaneously purchasing energy from Russia at the same time they were demanding the U.S. military protect them from any Russian aggression.
The same type of common sense perspective that startled the NATO alliance members applied internally to the U.S. military.
President Trump’s preferred use of economic warfare made the Pentagon’s role diminished. Instead of punching North Korea’s Kim Jong-un, President Trump hit the checkbook of Chinese Chairman Xi Jinping (tariffs etc.), and then opened diplomatic discussions with the DPRK Chairman. Toward the threat from North Korea, the primary military response became the contingency plan; President Trump engaged in economic leverage, not military…. and it worked.
As a consequence, the value of James Mattis was replaced by the effectiveness of U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer. Joint Chief’s Milley was not in the primary planning room; Milley was replaced by Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross (until he’s needed).
In the Trump era, the President was telling the Pentagon where and when to position; and then he asked them for ‘contingency’ preparation. Decades of Pentagon-centric foreign policy was lessened by an entirely new geopolitical approach based on an economic strategy. This was, in essence, the Trump Doctrine.
President Trump was executing a foreign policy, a clear doctrine of sorts, where national security was achieved by leveraging U.S. economic power. It was a fundamental shift toward allies and adversaries; summarized within the oft repeated phrase: “Economic security is national security.”
The Trump Doctrine of using economics to achieve national security objectives was a fundamental paradigm shift. Modern U.S. history provided no easy reference.
“Peace is the prize” ~ President Donald Trump
The nature of the Trump foreign policy doctrine, as it was visible, was to hold manipulative influence agents accountable for regional impact(s); and simultaneously work to stop any corrupted influence from oppressing free expression of national values held by the subservient, dis-empowered, people within the nation being influenced.
There were clear examples of this doctrine at work. When President Trump first visited the Middle-East, he confronted the international audience with a message about dealing with extremist influence agents. President Trump simply said: “Drive them out.”
Toward that end, as Qatar was identified as a financier of extremist ideology, President Trump placed the goal of confrontation upon the Gulf Cooperation Council, not the U.S.
The U.S. role was clearly outlined as supporting the confrontation. Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Egypt, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates needed to confront the toxic regional influence; the U.S. would support their objective. That’s what happened.
Another example: To confront the extremism creating the turmoil in Afghanistan, President Trump placed the burden of bringing the Taliban to the table of governance upon primary influence agent Pakistan. Here again, with U.S. support, Pakistan is the leading influence agent over the Taliban in Afghanistan; the Trump administration correctly established the responsibility and gives clear expectations for U.S. support.
If Pakistan doesn’t change their influence objective toward a more constructive alignment with a nationally representative Afghanistan government, it is Pakistan who will be held accountable. Again, the correct and effective appropriation of responsibility upon the influence agent who can initiate the solution, Pakistan.
The process of accurate regional assignment of influence comes with disconcerting sunlight. Often, these influences are not discussed openly. However, for President Trump the lack of honesty is only a crutch to continue enabling poor actors. This is a consistent theme throughout all of President Trump’s foreign policy engagements.
The European Union is a collective co-dependent enabler to the corrupt influences of Iran. Therefore, the assignment of responsibility to change the status is placed upon the EU.
The U.S. will fully support the EU effort, but as seen in the withdrawal from the Iran Deal, the U.S. will not enable growth of toxic behavior. The U.S. stands with the people of Iran, but the U.S. will not support the enabling of Iranian oppression, terrorism and/or dangerous military expansion that will ultimately destabilize the region. Trump holds the EU accountable for influencing change. Again, we see the Trump Doctrine at work.
Perhaps the most obvious application of the Trump Doctrine was found in how the U.S. administration approached the challenging behavior of North Korea. Rather than continuing a decades-long policy of ignoring the influence of China, President Trump directly assigned primary responsibility for a reset to Beijing.
China held, and holds, all influence upon North Korea and has long-treated the DPRK as a proxy province to do the bidding of Beijing’s communist old guard. By directly confronting the influence agent, and admitting openly for the world to see (albeit with jaw-dropping tactical sanction diplomacy), President Trump positioned the U.S. to support a peace objective on the entire Korean peninsula and simultaneously forced China to openly display their closely-guarded influence.
While the Red Dragon -vs- Panda influence dynamic is still ongoing, the benefit of this new and strategic approach brought the possibility of peace closer than ever in recent history.
No longer is it outlandish to think of North Korea joining with the rest of the world in achieving a better quality of life for its people.
Not only did President Trump openly share a willingness to engage in a new and dynamic future for North Korea, but his approach removed the toxic international and domestic influences that held down the possibility for generations. By leveraging China (through economics) to stop manipulating North Korea, President Trump opened up a door of possibilities for the North Korean people.
This is what I mean when I say President Trump provided North Korea with an opportunity to create an authentic version of itself.
However, take away U.S. military power and influence, or worse yet, stop using U.S. military power, and the leaders within the military industrial complex start to sense their institution becoming functionally obsolescent. Overlay this U.S. military fear with pre-existing ideological differences and the situation gets worse. This is what President Trump was facing in the background as the Pentagon viewed the Trump economic strategy as a threat to their previous geopolitical mission under all previous administrations.
Unfortunately, like all other issues in the era of hyper-polarization, normally liberal Democrats would be alarmed about military leadership going rogue with their own agenda. However, as long as that agenda was anti-Trump, the political-left with a totalitarian outlook are now okay with it.
In 2020 Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden was openly asking the U.S. military to initiate a coup against President Trump. The corporate media didn’t bat an eyelash. The traditional checks-and-balances, things that normally keep us stable, started getting very sketchy within the military; this has only gotten worse in the past year.
Remember, the impeachment effort was only a “soft-coup” until the uniformed military showed up. Yet, these same Pentagon leaders have the nerve now to call a protest in DC, likely manipulated by the FBI, an insurrection …“intended to overturn the constitution of the United States of America.” The one thing these ideologues are good at is projection.
If this ain’t it, nothing will be.
Yeah, this can’t be ignored or swept under the rug. Heads must roll for this. If not, we must accept we have suffered total defeat.
Unless the GOP and Conservatism Inc show interest, it will be forgotten in about two weeks. So far, they show no interest. On anything.
Only if the public lets them forget about it.
Yeah I see million dollar book deals ,and a resignation letter…
Unbelievable… He thought Trump was unhinged but he kisses Mr. Senile butt?
Remember they consider the Afghanistan debacle and “partnership” with the Taliban “normal” In comparison patriots and normies like Trump look “unhinged” to them. The lack of discernment shown is in proportion to their godlessness.
Milley takes his marching orders directly from Chairman and de facto POTUS Xi — not Trump or the vegetative puppet Biden).
Suddenly, everything makes sense …
This is what Obama’s purge produced…
This has been brewing for years. Obama may have accelerated it, but he didn’t start it.
^^^This!^^^
And the GOP stayed silent. Silence is complicity.
You see a part of the goal here – shift blame to Trump for the Afghanistan fiasco with an unsubstantiated claim:
Milley’s fear that Trump could do something unpredictable came from experience. Right after Trump lost the election, Milley discovered the President had signed a military order to withdraw all troops from Afghanistan by January 15, 2021, before he left the White House.
The memo had been secretly drafted by two Trump loyalists. No one on the national security team knew about it, according to the book. The memo was eventually nullified, but Milley could not forget that Trump had done an end run around his top military advisers.
What part of CIC did Miley not understand ?
It wasn’t just Milley. Mattis did what HE wanted on the border, not what PDJT ordered.
Kelly did what HE wanted.
And how many others?
Miley is part of a group of rhino military hacks. Esper is another one.
I fear we don’t know how deep this part of the swamp goes.
“Peace is the prize”… that, to these people, sounds “unhinged”. They are all about mass destruction. And just fine with using idealistic 20 year olds to do the dirty work and come back in pieces.
God help us
.
Blinken blaming PDJT today in Senate.
Both sides (DofS and WH) United in that purpose . . .
I miss the Obama era when everything was Bush’s fault.
China attacked our election thru Dominion voting machines that got Biden elected. Then the manufactured 1/6 event, then Milley tells China he will let them know if we attack. This was a deep state coup that was coordinated.
We just have to take it like a man. Fraud and treason are cool now. Our betters saved us from peace and prosperity and gave us vegi-pres with war, stupidity, invasion of the 3rd world, and poverty et al.
This is swell.
I wonder what’s going to happen tonight with the recall of Newsome? The suspense has me on the edge of my seat.
You can sing that to “Veggie Tales”–“Veggie Pre-e-e-ez Veggie Pre-e-e-ez, Veggie Prez!”
Seems they are ALL owned by China.
The bible has a story of Jacob and Esau.
Esau sold his birthright for a tasty dish. How many of our “leaders” (and ordinary citizens) have been willing to do the same. For “stuff” they gave away the integrity and Constitution of the former United States.
Warning the Red Chinese of an impending US attack, I believe this is called treason and sedition.
All of it was a coup. It had to be coordinated through the multiple branches, any coup of a president required the military. Trump proved they were not capable, which is why he wanted to withdraw, the SCOTUS ignored obvious issues, Individual states violated state & federal Constitutions by changing voting laws without the legislature. They are now attempting to block all audits. Arizona proved the fraud, Georgia was on the track then fell off, Penn was shut down by the Leftist Governor.
But yes Milley is the natural suspect for a political & personal assignation in the media The Sec Def is not going to take the fall, they wont get another one on the cabinet, DOD chief is certainly not going to go down, Milley is the only one holding the bag. Problem is the Trump plan was conditional, this group of JV players changed the play. Hence the giant $hit Show.
“They are using the opportunity of this book by Woodward and Costa to hit Milley, place the blame for Afghanistan in his lap and make him the scapegoat so that Joe Biden and the other participants can avoid further scrutiny. Their play is transparent.”
The timing regarding Petraeus post-Benghazi comes to mind.
Agree. This is working for their agenda.
Not 2 weeks after Afghanistan failure and Woodward and Costa release a book nailing Milley?????
Any outrage tweets from feckless RINO GOP?
No, they’re busy printing up a new batch of donation solicitations.
Surveys.
Hahahaha…Hahahha…
You made a funny.
The sternly worded letter is being drafted as we speak.
Right. With buzz words “unacceptable” “inappropriate” but not “intentional”
Don’t forget “held accountable”…the most useless phrase in DC.
of course! can’t leave that out.
Roosterhead will appear on some Faux talking head show and snark a little followed by Miss Linseed and Tommie Cottonbrain.
Of course not! Nothing from the treasonous RINO’s…they stand complicit. They ALL KNEW!
Just now on Real America’s Voice: General McInerny: President Trump won this election & “possible treason” by General Milley.
And Andy Biggs had every trouble possible saying the word “treason” on live TV.
This is why the GOP sucks, and always finds a way to lose.
“This is why the GOP sucks, and always finds a way to lose.
I think they’ve been pretty clever and have always found a way to win. My question is why we continue to have anything to do with them or continue to pay lip service to them being our guys.
After the democrats call Trump every name in the book and still are blaming him for everything. And the GOP let’s them do it.
Newsmax and O.A.N. or FOX is not even touching it! Good on Real America.
We should all carefully consider that the Deep State will NEVER allow Trump to be re-elected.
Regrettably, we’ve passed the point where elections can fix our deep and systemic problems in DC.
It’s going to take politics by other means to save our country.
It’s unfortunately going to require a lot of lead. The tree of liberty is parched.
Can anyone correlate any of the EOs President Trump may have signed in anticipation of these coups?
This is serious threat to our democracy.
Imported virus engineered in China, Stolen election and an out of control Pentagon !
Wake Up America.
Civil libertarians on both sides should unite over this one.
And to think Woodward was a never ending presence on every news discussion denigrating and slandering Mr Trump prior to the election. No Trump lover he. He wouldn’t shut up. There’s a lot of smoke here. I’d say its popcorn time if this whole story weren’t threatening to completely blow up our government and our country. This is a threat to whatever national security we’ve got left…which isn’t much.
His buddy Bernstein is completely lost in derangement.
Woodward is part of the plan. Remember he writes docufiction books. Stuff he makes up in his head on how a meeting might have transpired and so on….
Pompous ass living on past glories.
Oh well, there’s nothing we can do. We’ll get’em in 2022. That rhymes. /s
Every person who holds a security clearance is subject to a random, unscheduled lie detector test. It is a signed document associated with the clearance and is involuntary and not subject to dispute.
Simple question: have you or anyone you know committed treason against the United States.
This one question would eliminate a third of Deep State right off the bat.
I have, personally “beaten” a lie detector test, it isn’t difficult.
There is the thumbtack in the shoe trick, if you are a sociopath it won’t work, or what I did.
Humans have an almost infinite capacity to rationalise and justify. If you can rationalise and justify to yourself that the lie is, in fact the truth, you can lie to the machine.
Between sociopaths and rationalisers, I suspect your proposal wouldn’t uncover many traitors, in a deep state FULL of them.
Bubba Clinton: “I did not have sex with that woman. Ms. Lewinsky.”
Two sentences. In the first sentence he was thinking about Hildabeast. Then when he said the second sentence he was thinking about his young intern.
We all knew it was a lie, but by his thinking it was definitely the truth.
OTOH, as George Costanza would say: “it ain’t [treason] if you believe it” and, believe me, many in the Deep State would think of themselves as patriots because, y’know, Orange man bad. SMDH
“. . even more rouge” You mean ROGUE. So funny because he is often cartooned as with lipstick !
Timing just days before the DC rally.
How does revealing Milley’s treason during the Trump admin protect Biden from anything he’s done as Pres?
And if the Pentagon is allied with the WH, how does attacking the Pentagon protect the WH/Biden?
Back biting between leftist factions doesn’t necessarily need to benefit the WH. It can be nothing more than an internal hierarchy dispute between DOD Deep State vs IC Deep State.
Think of billionaire oligarch (Zuckerberg and pals) vs true believer (AOC et al). In an era where there is no real opposition to the left, internal factional disputes within the left is all that remains.
And the q-ooks kept cryptically predicting that the military would save the day. ?
Maybe q was milley trying to throw everyone off?
Don’t forget San Fran Nan’s involvement. She is just as traitorous, assuring that there is a mechanism in place to usurp President Trump (paraphrasing). And yet these “patriots” (SPIT!!!), seemingly worried about an unstable Trump, stand by the most visibly incapacitated imbecile to ever pretend he is POTUS. Every single one of these traitors needs to be held up as an example of what happens to those worming against the duly elected representative of the people.
Correct ” worming” (although it fits) to “working”.
Porklosi is a seditionist. Obtain her comms.
W e need the white hats to start exposing the filth and corruption that passes for our “government”.
Are there any white hats left?!
Is it possible we already effectively suffered a military coup?
With Miley in place, the deep state knew they could get away with anything they wanted and the military would back them up if needed.
Good point
Good observation.
Could this be the start of the Night of the Long Knives?
We absolutely have, yet those enjoying the benefits of “freedom of the press” have taken a hard pass to informing the people. Thank fully there are places like CTH to get the real stories in the public square.
There was no coup.
The office of the Presidency has been irrelevant for a long time, exactly how long would be an interesting but too-long discussion here, but I suspect it was a process rather than an event.
When a President is a Club member, this irrelevancy is not obvious because everyone in the government is pursuing the same agenda. When the President is not a Club member, the administrative state blocks, slow-walks, and quickly undoes his agenda.
Actual power rests in the corrupt Senate, which controls Cabinet level appointments and through those appointments the composition of the permanent Federal bureaucracy. That permanent bureaucracy, in turn, has grown so powerful that it has reached parity with the elected Senate and is now conjoined with it. Neither is accountable to the voting public because, through their shared power, they control every single lever of government operation.
It was not so much a coup, as a metastasis of corruption. A process, not an event…
It’s time for an army of Bob Lee Swaggers to visit some Senators…
Bingo!
I remember the hysterical blowup at Alexander Haig for his singular statement “I’m in control here” during the confused time President Reagan was shot.
But that is NOTHING like what Milley did. Milley is a traitor and needs to be dealt with extreme prejudice.
I will never forget listening to the radio the day Reagan was shot and hearing Haig say that. Sent shivers down my spine, like Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!
Firing squad
If this is not the opening for the white hats in the military to seize back control, I don’t know what is.
Opportunity is there. Not holding my breath. If there were a force of white hats, wouldn’t Trump have stumbled upon them? I know he had bad advisors who practically held him hostage, but do we really believe he was that disconnected from his military? after the whole Vindman thing? Syria? and who knows what else. If he couldn’t find the white hats, maybe we have to face some hard facts.
Roy Cohn guided Donald Trump through the maze of New York politics. Unfortunately Trump did not have the same type of advisor in the White House and it showed.
Agree
Are there any left?
Lootinnenttt Kerrrnelll to you Deplorables.
The chow thief follows his IC orders.
This is absolutely right out of Dr. Strangelove, an inversion of the Constitution, where the unaccountable United States military dictates to the elected officials:

Now the reason for installing Biden is plainly obvious, it is an in your face demonstration by the Deep State, to the American people, that a President is not necessary to run the country (nor is our vote)… and they proved it by installing a vegetable/marionette in office. And we all see how accountable they are to Congress, a Congressional subpoena/hearing is a joke. Devin Nunes gets his phone bugged for asking too many questions.
More like “Seven Days In May”
Looks like a bit of both Hollywood scripts have been in play for the past few decades…but especially now.
^^^^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^^^^^ (What Anon wrote, not the video)
EXACTO-FREAKIN-LUTELY!
Add it to the already long list of treasonous acts perpetrated against the American People and the real President Trump for which there will be no accountability. As usual, the pathetic and disgusting Republicans will do nothing about it other than give lip service.
We now live in a Banana Republic. This is what over 1 million Americans have died for over the course of U.S. history in the fight to preserve our freedom. This is what current American soldiers will be slaughtered for.
On to the next enraging news story to be concluded with no accountability.
That’s why those arguing for so long that President Trump let them down by not using the military to overthrow the Deep State were living in La La Land.
The Pentagon is part of the problem.
Even the “17” group ?
Especially them.
The Pentagon is an entity unto itself in DC. Its interests are in wielding American military power and ensuring unlimited growth in the military budget.
While the President is technically Commander In Chief of our military, the Pentagon has been a deeply political creature for decades and decades. Its sheer size and scope often insulate it from civilian leadership.
When people mention the Swamp, at least half of the Swamp in DC is connected in some way to the Pentagon.
P Trump was never going to use the military to over turn an election. Even IF the military would be with him.
Get real. Saying he would, but the military held him back is nonsense.
The Pentagon has and will continue to operate on it’s own with ZERO oversight. During Osama Obama’s tenure, it was reported that hundreds of millions of dollars were missing from the budget…where is that money now? It’s anyone’s guess. The MIC has so much power…and I would argue also works hand-in-hand with the so-called intelligence community.
That’s why they went after Gen Michael Flynn. He wanted to audit the Pentagon.
It really is too bad that the only thing that will happen to Milley will be that he will either retire, or be relieved of command. Suffice to say, that SOB should be swinging from the end of a rope–and left there for all to see him rot.
Hanging him too soon would be a gift to him. He needs to be sentenced to hard labor and sent to Ft. Leavenworth Prison to turn big rocks into little rocks. A couple of years of that and then hang his ass. And we know Pelosi is a party to this, too. She needs her due.
Got a better place to send that bustid. A little place in the Pelican State called ANGOLA!
Court Martial FOR TREASON
Because he was swamp from the first. Trump had horrible advisors. There are so many generals that supported Trump and he just kept picking Bushie people. He was too nice. The stupid weak republicans in congress better start doing something or they are gone. Even Vindman is saying Miley should resign.
Total Bizzaro World. Vindman calling for Thoroughly Marxist Milley’s resignation before any Decepticon.
The psychological term for Vindman’s behavior is ‘transference.’
What a mess…Milley is a pompous ass and an ass kisser. We need a re-vamp from the top down. Every facet of our government is crawling with vipers.
“Even vindman is saying milley should resign”
Scum vindman (“ oh say can you see” as rush would say) has to say that because it’s part of the script!
There’s a type of Satanic ritual that makes its adherents self humiliate. Vindman is getting promoted and this is his self humiliating act.
He always sang ‘oh, say can you see’. Spoke ‘Colonel’ and ‘Vindman’ in a regular voice. Always made me smile
Trump should have called back every general that obama relieved of duty. And where the hell was Flynn? I know, tied up, but really if the blind Trade Center bomber could work his attorney as messenger gal to the terrorists, couldn’t the Super Spook figure something out?
There are way more questions surrounding Flynn than answers.
??
Bottom line for me: The IC had no problem with his conduct until it was politically expedient to have a problem with his conduct.
Everything else is mere squawking of vultures squabble over a carcass. It would be amusing expect for the problem that while the vultures are snapping at one another over entrails the dragon, the bear, and the desert lion are licking their chops on the sidelines.
Right you are keeler…………………..to the nth degree
And vindman is only saying Milley should resign now because it suits the swamps agenda. Vindman was cheering Milley’s treason on while President Trump was President!!
Imagine if you are Blinken or Milley. It is starting to dawn on you that YOU have served your purpose, and are now being set up as the scapegoat. There are many sleepless nights ahead for these traitors.
SD’s “framework” suggests it’s either Milley or Blanken, but not both.
Will we be seeing the Pentagon’s response soon? What juicy info will be soon be learning about our secret police?
It’s great to see and hear young people chanting this. They don’t quite understand why they are but I see it as evidence of more people waking up every day.
Can it be that the worse things look the better they are? Possibly, if it removes the scales from people’s eyes.
I’ve started to see FJB things even! Good for a t-shirt and yard sign.
I really needed that! Thanks!
I’m skeptical. This appears to be just the latest in a long line of attempts by various authors to sell books by claiming Trump was so mentally unstable that others had to step in and take charge behind his back. I truly doubt they think this story about Milley will harm him in any way.
That all his subordinates at the Pentagon kept this treasonous act to themselves is telling. ALL of them have to be fired. But that won’t happen.
I’m not disagreeing but rather pose this question, who could they have told that it would have made a difference? Could they have gotten it to anyone where they could have affected a desirable outcome? I doubt it. TPTB count on that.
The brass made it clear they were purging the military of what we would call patriots. They were/are checking social media to out any that vocalize an opinion they do not condone.
The silo effect is in full force, not just within the IC but the military and pretty much all parts of our government.
It is a highly effective way of squashing any dissenting view and keeping it from seeing the light of day. The narrative is protected and the institutions are protected from any dissent or sunlight.
The more that happens the more frustrated and horrified I get by the situation in which we find ourselves.
The system of government that now exists within our country is so corrupt, broken, and just plain FUBAR. Is there anything that can be done at this point. The final litmus test is going on now in California, with the recall election of Gov. Newsom, shall he be recalled, there may be a slight chance of hope that this can be stopped. Should Newsom retain his position the Uniparty will have proven that the United States will never see a fair/uncorrupted election again, and the Constitution will be disregarded.
I am not willing to lay down and let these thieves steal everything from us, and I feel rather confident I will loose my battle, but can we win this war?????
It’s not necessarily communicating a coup with the CCP that’s a problem, there’s a problem if he didn’t use their correct pronouns.

TO SUNDANCE (AND ANYONE ELSE INTERESTED):
Your “Team #1 vs Team #2” hypothesis seems to be getting some notice and traction. Tom Luongo devotes almost an entire podcast to rehashing the pros and cons of your first article describing the rivalry:

Just thought you should know… and good to see “alternative media” really coming into its own and being taken seriously.
FYI
And of coarse, by consigning the military to a secondary, contingency role,…pushed them away from the trough, of corruption.
In time, no more revolving door to defence contractor positions, etc.
Perhaps the hardest disillusionment for people to accept, is with regard to “the band of brothers”.
Many voted for McStain, Kerry and others, simply because of their military service.
Makes no more sense than voting for or against someone based on race, gender, religion or because “they seem like someone you would enjoy having a beer with”.
What POLICIES are they SAYING they support, …and DO YOU BELIEVE THEM? are the only viable criterion for our support.
Military service is to be respected, but no REVERED.
Kerry, McStain, Bergdahl,..many in Uniform that not only don’t deserve our respect, but deserve our contempt.
I very much am grateful for those who have served, and am horrified that so many served and sacrificed for a sick, twisted leadership, both IN Uniform, and civilian, since WW2.
My only quibble is that many in the military supported Kerry because of his service. I certainly hope that is not true.
His actions in country and then on Capitol Hill when testified against the war should have kept him from the White House.
He and McStain should always be considered the snakes they are.
To add to your list of military saboteurs deserving no respect I would add Col Vindman who should have been court marshalled!
THE END – SEVEN DAYS IN MAY – JOHN FRANKENHEIMER – 1964 V.O – video Dailymotion
Posted same below. Gripping from beginning to end. No chance of millennials being interested in seeing it though. It was done in black and white.
The Special Forces own Bowe Bergdahl!
Looks like Pelosi is in this up to her wrinkled neck!
I just watched a video on Bannon’s War Room for this date. His speakers made me really get nervous. They were talking about China. Its a must watch. I’m finding Bannon’s show to be one of the most informative of any on several topics.
C’mon, China was ready to interfere in the US election (an act of war) but needed reassurances it would not be attacked thats why Milley contacted the Chinese army command and because he expected Trump to react to this election steal he made sure Trump could not do it.
Yes Milley is guilty of insurrection in my opinion
Milley probably did it at Biden’s request. Surely Biden is the CCP’s main asset in the US.
Good point. I was wondering what made China so nervous about being attached by the U.S. that they contacted Milley.
Optics are always a consideration for the CIA faction when making a move like this so publicly against a figure like Milley.
One aspect of this report is intended to demoralize conservative Trump supporters about their support for the U.S. Military. As faith in public institutions have almost been obliterated across America in the past few years, the Military still enjoys support from the Right. A widely circulated report of this nature will only damage the Pentagon’s standing in the future and Republican politicians may not be so quick to raise their budget the next time around.
Now know we all know who Nasty Nancy was talking to and how she had it on good authority. This is nothing less than conspiracy to commit treason. In a sane world, both Milley and Pelosi would be in prison right awaiting their trials. Along with any other military or Congressional persons involved in this.
Now, this is a terrific analysis of the background of this story. Thank You, Sundance for your keen insights and expansive knowledge of the DC gestalt. (sp?)
Might be a good time to revisit that splendid film “Seven Days in May”. Kirk Douglas, Burt Lancaster, Ava Gardner, Frederick March (portraying an extremely clued up, competent, and principled POTUS, unlike the one we’re stuck with). Striking similarities to this treasonous exercise by the current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs.
If Milley said this;
“General Li, you and I have known each other for now five years. If we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time. It’s not going to be a surprise.”
He’s guilty of HIGH TREASON and should be hung by the neck until dead!!!
Obama is leading Team 1 and 2
Frag them all and NO military funerals, bury them upside down in Africa.
