The story of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin recovering in the hospital broke Friday afternoon when the Pentagon first released a statement {SEE HERE}. It was a bizarre first notification considering that Secretary Austin had been hospitalized since January 1st, and no official notification came until yesterday. However, the story has grown even more bizarre.
Secretary Austin was in intensive care for four days following complications that stemmed from an elective procedure.
Today, it is discovered that the Pentagon never informed the White House that the Defense Secretary was not in command. The National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and the National Security Council were unaware of Austin’s incapacity until January 4th. This is very strange. Politico has the update:
WASHINGTON DC – The Pentagon did not tell President Joe Biden and other top officials about Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s hospitalization for three days, three U.S. officials said.
National security adviser Jake Sullivan and other senior White House aides didn’t know of Austin’s Jan. 1 hospitalization until the Defense Department sent over word Jan. 4, two other U.S. officials said. Sullivan informed Biden shortly after DOD’s Thursday notification.
The officials said it was highly unlikely that Austin conveyed word to Biden privately before Sullivan’s briefing. “If Jake didn’t know, no way the president knew,” one of them said. “Who would have told him of Austin’s condition if not Jake? And if someone did tell the president, Jake would’ve been his first call.”
All officials and other people who spoke for this story were granted anonymity to discuss a sensitive issue.
The news of Austin’s situation came as a shock to all White House staff as they were unaware the Pentagon boss was dealing with complications following an elective medical procedure, the officials said. National Security Council staffers were surprised it took the Pentagon so long to let them know of Austin’s status. The Pentagon didn’t make the information public until Friday evening, notifying Congress about 15 minutes before releasing a public statement.
“This should not have happened this way,” said one of the U.S. officials. The NSC and Pentagon declined comment. (read more)
Considering the U.S military is actively engaged in two regions of conflict, Red Sea (Israel-Hamas war) and Ukraine (Russia-Ukraine conflict) it seems stunning the Defense Secretary was out of commission and the White House was never aware.
Then again, considering the oft spoken arguments about the Joe Biden administration essentially operating without any command-and-control authority, meaning each institution is operating on their own priority system and Joe Biden is not a participant in government, perhaps this is just another affirmational data point.
Lastly, perhaps this level of detachment reconciles THIS STORY.
So a traitor to this nation who participated and continues to participate in a coup d’etat against the US, who abandoned his military in the field in Afghanistan, forced the injection of dangerous bioweapons into the arms of every service member, who forces CRT Marxist indoctrination and trans lunatics in the ranks, purged of Patriots, turned its guns on civilians exercising their 1st Amendment rights got hospitalized in ICU for four days. That story had so much potential for a happy ending.
You summed that up very well. A man who made it to the top ranks bc he checks a lot of boxes.
Happy Ending still might happen. The question is, will they bother to tell FJB
This shows just how unimportant he is in the scheme of things.
My nephew, a retired Army officer, knew this dimwit racist when he served under his command in the Army. Nephew says he is stupid as well as ignorant and makes virtually all decisions based on skin color.
About a decade ago there was a study of 4 drugs for Ebola in Africa where the death rate was 30%. The DoD tried two different antibodies which lowered the rate to 20%, Fauci was the third party with remdesivir and a fourth party I forgot who. The fourth party increased the death rate to 48% and Remdesivir to 52%. Both the latter were pulled early.
It would be foolish for the DoD to claim that they did not know remdesivir killed, yet that was the only drug allowed for servicemen who tested positive for COVID-19. Murder, plain and simple. They claim to wonder why they are missing their recruitment goals.
The fourth arm of the study was standard of care that all of the participants received but without the antibodies.

Here’s what really happened
The WH senior staff knew Austin was in the ICU but hid it from Biden. They’ve had massive fallout since October
Then, when he hit complications, it became unsustainable
Biden is livid, per WH staffer

Biden livid? No problem, give him an hour or two, and he will have forgotten all about it.
Won’t take that long… just give him a scoop of “chocolate chocolate chip ice cream “… he’ll forget EVERYTHING prior to that
As long as Obama was notified, Democrats have no problems. He’s actually in charge anyway. Biden can be livid all he wants. Maybe he simply doesn’t remember the deal he made with Obama’s surrogate Clyburn. At this point, maybe he’s been on AF1 so much between DC and Rehoboth Beach that he really DOES think he’s the pResident-in-charge.
Wasn’t Pres Biden in St Croix during that time?
maybe physically, but NO ONE knows where his mind was.
The Biden was livid part is that the info on Austin delayed Biden’s pudding pop. More spin from the wrecking crew.
So you basically have WH and Pentagon staff hiding this? The SecDef is in the chain of command for things like nuclear missile launches and continuity of government.
Staggering incompetence OR WORSE.
If he’s even vaccinated, it’s plausible this “elective” procedure stemmed from a shot side effect. They hid it from the public because the Pentagon is currently being sued over the forced vaccinations. So, they kept it secret. They didn’t want word getting out that the 42-times vaccinated SecDef was having “elective surgery” for clots.
My otherwise healthy uncle developed a heart valve problem last year and never woke up after elective surgery to fix it. They’re were all big on vaccines. We’re forbidden from calling it a botched surgery.
It’s as good an explanation as any.
In his published statement, Austin says he take full responsibility for the lack of public info and promises to be more transparent in the future. Easier to beg forgiveness after the fact.
This regime appears to be more hapless than the Three Stooges but I believe it is all well planned….Obama/Holder/Rice trademark.
What did he think an elective penal implant would help him screw the taxpayers over..?
Maybe the elective surgery was gender affirming?
Austin in command and control? Derek Johnson lays out a compelling argument to the contrary complete with documents. Check out Rattletrap 1776. Jan Halper Hayes confirmed his analysis.
Biden unaware.
Tell us something we don’t know….
He has been vaxxed and boosted so there’s that medical complication. R.I.P., Lloyd. You can’t inject graphene oxide and polyethylene glycol (PEG) into your bloodstream without consequences.
I believe he used a medical exemption for himself, regarding the death shot.
Wouldn’t he have gotten the placebo, like all of our elites?
Are you sure he didn’t get the requisite saline shots?
Meanwhile…
“EXCLUSIVE US military infiltrated by white
supremacists and insurrectionists as experts warn Pentagon report detailing 78 internal plots to overthrow the Government is just the tip of the iceberg”

I call BS. But if they did… I wouldn’t fault them for wanting to honor their oath to protect & defend.
Yeah. Mostly BS from entrapment. Luring people into ridiculous ideas to make headlines.
Wonder if he will have his bathrobe on when he levitates out the 16th floor ? one can wish anyway –
W hat doctor and nurses work on New Years Day?
Oh.. wait…
Let me guess … his/her/their sex change operation had complications …
obviously an unnecessary person in a very important position. no one cared to notice at the white house?
hypothesis: austin isn’t running the show any more than joe malarkey. “other” is running the show.
That’s my thought too and wanting to know who the explicative IS running the war in Ukraine and the Middle East. Israel is totally dependent on US armament supplies to protect Israel and attack Gaza. I mean Obama/Jarrett may be the grease behind the scenes but they don’t command the military. IIRC there are at least 4 top generals supposed to answer to Austin, so, which one is running things, one of them or Austin’s help?
He’s so important no one knew…
I’m gonna guess the fat moron ate a battery or something made of glass.
Have Fauci give him a double dose of Remdesivir, courtesy of all the soldiers forced to take the experimental vax.
What they haven’t said is whether or not he’s on a vent. If so AND they gave him Remdesivir, that will be the Double Dose of Death for the DoD Director! Who knows who would fall in line to succeed him? Robert “Rachel” Levine, General Charles “Q” Brown or Admiral Lisa Franchitti (all box checkers).
“Secretary Austin was in intensive care for four days following complications that stemmed from an elective procedure.”
Elective procedure? What, did he decide to whack his pee pee so as to be more attuned to his new modern military?
Like third breast or booty bum?
Remote control rain chip?
It doesn’t matter in my view since everyone listed in that chain of command is an incompetent nincompoop. Entire JoeBama Administration is corrupt, lawless & incompetent.
You have a point. Just another yucked up day in the Xiden admin.
I’ll bet Obama knew!
It’s a good thing he wasn’t treated at your average VA hospital or he would be Dead Man Walking.
Pure speculation – Austin was to be ‘fragged’, but survived.
Who on earth would willfully follow this loser into battle. It is better he stay in the hospital if just to save the lives of our military.
I’m somewhat curious as to what kind of ‘elective surgery’ Austin had done.
Unsuccessful brain transplant?
The going bets are stints for the vax clots or gender reassignment.
Those clots don’t just go to the heart. They go everywhere. My cousin, 10 years younger than I and a skier, had both a massive heart attack and multiple TIAs at the same time. I’ll bet Austin with all his masks was afraid enough to take the jab. He was left out of the loop.
Isn’t he the guy that was marching around with the full face shield?
Was he triple quadruple jabbed?
Heart issues?
They aren’t allowed to say, “…complications from the 8th jab…”
Our government is such a chaotic mess. How could we ever win a war? Not possible. Let that sink in.
No one wanted to spread the Syphilis rumors any further.
This type of disregard and incompetence is a danger to our Republic.
Duh
Geez, the country was safe for a couple of days and we didn’t even know.
Not a Joke, I hope the FILTHY LIBERAL DIES. Another enemy we don’t have to deal with.
Hopefully from the Jab he forced into real Men and Women.
Bye Bitch …you deserve everyday in the Hospital..
Unexceptable comment. It’s just hate and not befitting of this community. This type comment is why I left twitter.
If it’s unacceptable I’m sure it will be dealt with.
I don’t acknowledge as arbiter of appropriate and I certainly understand the frustration FL expresses.
I don’t acknowledge you as arbiter……..
The surgery was probably to try to remove his cranium from his rectum. Surgery failed as once he came to, he asked everybody in the recovery area what their preferred pronouns were.
When I worked the communications center in the Pentagon there was a daily message that went out every evening to a variety of principals worldwide. This message stated the next few days’ location & itinerary of agency Secretaries, as well as certain 4-star commands, even down to some special Deputies and Assistant Secretaries. That notification, per an old source, has not changed although the method of distribution has (classified email vs. the old-style electronic msg commonly called a TWX). If the SECDEF was listed as being present for normal duty for those days then they have falsified an official record.
The timing is strange.
Xi just terminated his top military leaders. China is off the coast in Cuba. Taiwan is going into an election basically determining their fate with China. There is 2 hot wars going on ….. and he has elective surgery now???!!!
Is there something planned that he is hiding from?
Also… treatment for depression and mental illness can be elective treatments. Lol. Did Austin lose it and is actually in a psych ward vs ICU? Lol.
Lol. Crazy idea but why believe any news out of the government nowadays. Maybe Austin is in china getting the plans for Taiwan takeover?
I don’t believe anything they say.
Magilla Gorilla was gone for a week and nobody noticed.
Austin looks and acts like someone whose Blood Pressure is always at the 250/140 mark. Whatever it was his BP probably went wild. Enter ICU stat. Hush Hush. Iran is watching.
Agree. A stent or heart attack or a fibrillation or aortic clot are all possible and they do not require the covid jab to occur or kill.
At what point do We the People say ENOUGH and actually surround Washington DC and tell these ass-clowns that they are no longer running the government ?
JRB is now accompanied Off The Stage by his wife, NOT A DOCTOR Jill…to prevent him from Falling off The Edge or falling down The Steps!
I bet Milly informed China about the MIA Austin!
Was it complications from a “gender” change?
shock treatment for cognitive dissonance.
The logical reason for the lack of notification to the WH was that no one noticed his absence. When you lack leadership, it’s hard to know when it’s gone.
Plugs didn’t even know Lloyd Braun was missing.
Lloyd Austin is apparently part of that “Have Your Cake and Eat It Too” crowd –
he should have resigned and let someone else who is responsible take his position but no, it’s SO important for HIM to remain Secretary of Defense but ALSO be basically AWOL!
Is that leadership?
Good he deserves this after trying to kill millions of troops with the death jab
It’s not easy trying to wash the TRAITOR out…..
Remember, as Pravda was in the 1960s-80s, all information this administration provides is lies. The truth is always evident and needs to be changed to cover up their sins.
I suspect that the “elective procedure” was a penile enhancement that metastasized to his brain, promoting declarations that emanated from his anus. (Sometimes I crack myself up.) Unless he is at GITMO.
I understand that Secretary Austin is now taking “full responsibility” . . . is this like Janet Reno’s version of taking “full responsibility” while continuing on in the job?
From an anonymous source at the hospital: “Secretary Austin only has one year left in office so he wanted to take advantage of the military’s new benefit: gender reassignment surgery. Upon release from Walter Reed Hospital he will now be known as Defense Secretary Latoya Austin.”
Maybe the SecDef decided to follow his own words and cut off his penis so he could feel like a woman…or maybe he had to have his feet narrowed to fit into high heels…breast implants…I mean, the list is endless, right?
More evidence that Brandon is not our Commander and Chief. The pentagon did not inform the White House due to the fact the decision makers do not operate out of the WH.
It is hard to pinpoint where directions and orders due come from, but we do know they do not come the Oval Office or west wing.
JAN 07 2024 – CNN
Deputy defense secretary was not told Austin had been hospitalized when she assumed his duties
When the deputy secretary of defense began assuming some of Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin’s responsibilities on January 2, not even she knew that it was because Austin was hospitalized, two defense officials told CNN.
Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks, the Pentagon’s number two leader, was among the senior leaders kept in the dark about Austin’s true whereabouts until Thursday, three days after the secretary checked into Walter Reed medical center following complications from an elective surgery. Not even the president was aware of Austin’s hospitalization until three days into his stay there, CNN previously reported.
But Hicks, who was on vacation in Puerto Rico at the time, was not informed of Austin’s hospitalization until the afternoon of January 4, the defense officials said. Ryder told CNN that it is “not uncommon” for the secretary to transfer certain responsibilities without providing a specific reason as to why such a transfer is needed.
At that point, Hicks began to make contingency plans to return to Washington, DC, on Friday, the official said. But because Austin was expected to return to his full duties—albeit from the hospital—on Friday, she decided to stay in Puerto Rico to ensure continuity of communications.
[…]Ryder told CNN on Sunday that Austin “has no plans to resign” over the episode, which has left many Pentagon officials deeply frustrated and questioning why they were kept in the dark.
[…]Some Pentagon officials were told last Tuesday, a day after Austin entered the hospital, that the secretary would be on leave for the week. But that was far from the whole story, defense officials told CNN. Many assumed he was either working from home or simply taking an extended vacation.
In reality, Austin was in the intensive care unit at Walter Reed suffering from complications following his surgery, defense officials said.
It is not clear whether Austin was ever unconscious or incapacitated. But he was alert and tracking a military strike on January 4 in Baghdad, which killed the commander of a pro-Iran militia, a defense official said. That strike had also been pre-authorized, before Austin entered the hospital on January 1, CNN previously reported.
As of Saturday evening, Austin remained in the hospital, the defense official said. But he released a statement praising the “amazing” staff at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for the care he has received and said he is “on the mend” and looking forward to returning to the Pentagon.

Tells me the Sec of Defense is also a figurehead.
Obviously a DEI plant. Did you see him during Afghanistan? He was an absolute disgrace and embarrassment to the country.
