  1. Ted, you still seem to be hoping that the military will intervene to restore Trump to power. But this article demonstrates that the military are on the other side. They are “woke” and leftist. Milley testimony before Congress made this chrystal clear.

    You also still seem to think that the military will use the Insurrection Act to restore Trump to power. In reality, if the Insurrection Act is ever invoked, it will be invoked by Biden or Harris to crush all opponents of the present regime.

    I disagree with you. You both suggest that the use of the military is to restore order.
    But the military involvement that I refer to is to prevent a foreign takeover of the country.

    That’s why showing that China had a big role in engineering the fraudulent election and thus was instrumental in the takeover of the country, the military must undo this in order to protect the US.

    It remains a question in my mind that they would do what should be done in their judged remedy, but say they don’t. The public will have a role to play in the form of a public protest over the certified fraud. If the public remains quiet and at home, nothing will come of any of this – but I do not believe this will be the case.

    Indeed, AZ’s audit only came about as a reflection of the public outcry and this was achieved without Trump focusing support towards this goal – and it was also in spite of, and not due to, any political gamesmanship as many Republicans are still fighting against the audit. If the public does turn out, the armed groups of Antifa and BLM will as well, I believe.

    This is where the military should be used. It is true that the president must authorize the statutes you cited, but the Governors can mobilize their own guard units and states can cooperate with eachother towards this purpose as well – e.g. FL has sent National Guard troops to TX to help with the border issue. Following the public outcry, the State Legislatures will have the right, duty and motivation to follow thru on a proper certification of the fraud.

    If the SCOTUS does not authorize a proper remedy, it will remain incumbent upon the states to force a review of this matter. This will require a move similar to what brought the Constitution into effect, a meeting of the States, a Constitutional Convention. As you stated accurately, “It is the duty of every soldier, Judge, and congressman to defend the constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic”. With this in mind, some accommodation may be obtained with some level of support of both the states and public.

    I would hope that Trump would be returned to office, either thru the efforts before SCOTUS or this less traveled, really never been traveled, route. But I do not see the military acting independently of a judicial or legal framework to force Obama and his crew out of office. If such a thing were ever to have been contemplated, it, like SCOTUS, could have simplified much had it been undertaken prior to Jan. 20. There is no coup that can remedy this fraud. The courts and the people must be willing to act, each in their proper roles, or look to 2024 where 2020 can be played over again with the same outcome.

    It is the duty of every soldier, Judge, and congressman to defend the constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. The Insurrect Act spells it out and the Emergency Powers Act does likewise also.

    Fair point, Ted. Let me be more clear as to my intended inference. The statutes you cite are a response to a loss of civil discourse, ie mayhem in the streets and such. These statutes were written to return civil order to the streets by legally using the military towards this goal.

    The military should always be utilized to restore order if the civil authorities lack the will or means to do so, but of course this was not preferred last year nor thus far this year. If good order were not able to be maintained during an election, these laws could be used to pursue the use of the military to perform the election, another legal use of their services.

    But neither maintaining good order on the streets nor conducting an election is entering into the affairs of the election. Each of these acts are only providing the proper conditions for an election – not to split hairs, but this was my meaning.

    Adam admonished the “claims that the U.S. military is preparing a military coup to reinstate Trump”. I completely concur with him and my comment was stirred by his and I should have cited his statement. Such claims are commonly seen by many hoping for the military to ‘save the Republic’, but this is beyond either their reach or their responsibility.

    This is not only unwise, it is unnecessary. The military can not be seen to impose an election outcome on the states. Such an act would invalidate the outcome, whatever the outcome. A fair consideration of the fraud will be a fair revelation of the fraud.

    This is what is needed and the military is not needed for this purpose. The evidence needs to be examined, verified and certified. Following this, a remedy must be gained from SCOTUS – they will likely certify the fraud because it will be difficult for them not to, and if they do so they will have to render a judgement on an appropriate remedy.

    After writing “The military can not, and should not, enter into the affairs of the election. ” you suggest that they should. I am confused.

    If the police are unable to quell the violence3, the National Guard should be4 mobilized to help.
    It is the duty of every soldier, Judge, and congressman to defend the constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. The Insurrect Act spells it out and the Emergency Powers Act does likewise also.

  6. @Adamdalgliesh
    I need your help, Take screen shots of why you see and tell me what brought it on.
    Now I think the log post that you said you couldn’t post is actually posted. So what I you saying.
    Be very specific.

  7. The military can not, and should not, enter into the affairs of the election. If there was a role for them to play, it would have been to restore order in the streets in the many months leading up to the election and the many months since the election. Following Gen. Milley’s stern objection to the use of troops for this purpose, and later Esper’s as well, this was not done.

    Their objections were as inappropriate as they were consequential, and now, the murder rate in the state of Washington, alone, is up over 500%. The military could also have been utilized in a limited fashion to open and inspect the ballots prior to Jan. 20, but this too was not done, and so Biden had his very bizarre inaugural moment.

    The military would serve as no asset in working their will upon the nation, regardless of their preferences. I would hope, and I do expect, that any calls or expectations for them to do so lay unanswered, it is well beyond their purpose.

    Any violent confrontation is beyond any need in rendering a just determination of the validity of the election, and any such actions would, actually, serve to render the coup complete.

    Once the fraud is certified, a better understanding will be obtained of what proof remains to testify to the fraud that took place in the Nov. 3 election. Soon we will have AZ’s preliminary report and later more details will follow.

    Also the GA inspection, if it ever happens, should either support or refute with certain facts either the presence or absence of any remaining evidence of fraud. Following this either the public will lie quiet or they will fill the streets with their outcries in public demonstration.

    No public servant will easily remain unmoved or uninfluenced by the turnout of the public in such a moment as this. This fact was demonstrated on Jan. 6, just prior to the false flag attack on the Capital building, when the fickle Republicans applauded the objection to the counting of the electoral votes from AZ.

    Knowledge of the craven nature of politicians is the very reason why Antifa activists were bused into Washington, well in advance of the electoral vote counting, specifically to conduct the false flag.

    With this in mind, it should be noted that it is quite likely the armies of the Globalists, Antifa and BLM, will not lay quiet and street demonstrations will likely fall into some level of violent discord, or worse.

    Again, this would be an appropriate point in which the military could be utilized to pacify any violent outburst.

    The military has many roles to play throughout the world, but within the borders of the nation they serve, their only mission should be to support the constitution and protect the people.

    Should the violence be overwhelming, the use of military tribunals could be utilized to support the fact that the judicial system is incapable of fulfilling their duties. Beyond these uses, the military would be the masters of the coup whatever their decision would be.

    Choosing such an ill-advised process, America would finally have achieved the Banana-Republic status that many might initially support, hoping only to return the safety and security of the Constitution by force.

    But the use of such means to save the Constitution would only serve to totally violate and completely eradicate the validity of the very document motivating such force.

    Any short term goals that might be gained from such an ill-advised undertaking would only later materialize into an irreversible ruin, the only possible product of such a fundamental act of tyranny.

    A more certain, and shortened, path to becoming a failed-state could not be envisioned.

  8. The top brass didn’t know the h/o their country!
    Shocking! Very shocking!
    Will the military become a leftist militia?

  9. If nothing else, this selection from the Red State article should put paid to the claims that the U.S. military is preparing a military coup to reinstate Trump. The exact reverse is the case.THe U.S. military has become a tool of the “woke” leftist movement.

    It is no shock, then, that CRT has found fertile ground within the US military.

    Last week, I posted this story: The Navy Has Abandoned Readiness of the Nation to Racist Indoctrination; Someone Must Be Held Responsible. In it, I noted that Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Michael Gilday, in the face of a broken fleet and a surging Communist Chinese threat in the South China Sea and adjacent to Taiwan, is focused like a laser beam on using CRT and the trash produced by shameless hucksters to divide the US Navy into racially polarized camps. When called out on it by Indiana Representative Jim Banks, Gilday whined like a little b***h, to use the terminology of the kids these days.

    “I am not going to sit here and defend cherry-picked quotes from somebody’s book,” he said. “This is a bigger issue than Kendi’s book. What this is really about is trying to paint the United States military, and the United States Navy as weak, as woke.”

    Yesterday, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley were on The Hill, and they were called out on their role in inflicting CRT on the US military by Florida Republican Matt Gaetz.

    Austin simply refused to engage. He denied CRT is being taught in the military (that is actually a lie, it is taught under that name in the service academies, and commissars enforcing its working tenets on “whiteness” and “systemic racism” are embedded in the field force).

    This “we don’t teach CRT” is the typically dishonest dodge the left always comes up with when caught doing something odious. It is akin to “Sir, the Titanic was not sunk by a collision with an iceberg, the Titanic sank because of negative buoyancy.” Technically, it is true, but it is actually a dishonest obfuscation.

    The irony of Austin professing all kinds of confidence in his commanders is stunning as he had just testified that his commanders could not be trusted to investigate or prosecute cases of sexual assault vigorously. (I’m told by acquaintances still on active duty that allegations of sexual harassment are routinely used as brush-back pitches by substandard soldiers because once you make the allegation, you can’t be punished without the risk of being accused of intimidating a complainant.)

    The JCS Chairman, Army General Mark Milley, was the most pathetic.

    Here are highlights via USA Today:

    “I’ve read Mao Tse-tung. I’ve read Karl Marx. I’ve read Lenin. That doesn’t make me a communist,” Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the nation’s highest ranking military officer, said. “So, what is wrong with understanding … having some situational understanding about the country for which we are here to defend? And I personally find it offensive that we are accusing the United States military — our general officers, our commissioned and non-commissioned officers — of being, quote, ‘woke’ or something else because we’re studying some theories that are out there.”

    “I do think it’s important, actually, for those of us in uniform to be open-minded and be widely-read,” Milley said during the House Armed Services Committee hearing. “The United States Military Academy is a university, and it is important that we train and we understand … and I want to understand white rage. And I’m white,” he added.

    “What is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the Constitution of the United States of America?” Milley said of the Jan. 6 attacks on the U.S. Capitol by a mob of supporters of former President Donald Trump. “What caused that? I want to find that out. I want to maintain an open mind here, and I do want to analyze it.”

    Some apologists for Milley are saying that he is equating CRT with Marxism and Communism (because it is…actually, it is more evil than communism), which is good. If you read his statement in context, though, it is clear that he is advocating using CRT as an analytical tool in the US military’s jihad against “extremism.” His using the rubric of “white rage” to try to understand what happened on January 6, rather than a lot of more obvious explanations, shows he’s completely bought into this garbage. And it doesn’t stop with him.

    A few weeks ago, an Army battalion commander, LTC Andrew Rhodes, had this to say to his troops (Jack Posobiec broke the story at Human Events, but the screen captures on that site have vanished): “If you’re a white male, you are part of the problem.” He went on to say that in his view, less than .01% of all complaints about racism were false, and he would automatically believe any allegation.

    This is pure CRT, and it is corrosive to morale, good order, and discipline. This happened in the Army overseen by Austin and Milley. Rhodes still holds soldiers’ careers in his hands, and you can bet he has sniffed out who reported his outrageous statement.

    The entire Austin-Milley circus is below:

    The US military is emerging from twenty years of combat in a condition I could never have imagined possible. Instead of some soul searching on the administrative, training, and strategic problems that resulted in two stinging losses to markedly inferior forces, it has decided that the wave of the future is to embrace every woke idea that comes down the pike. Outspoken communists with an antipathy towards the United States (READ: Is West Point Beginning a Whitewash of the Commie Lieutenant Scandal?; Who Was Protecting the Commie West Point Graduate And Why?; and The Saga of the Commie Lieutenant Comes to an End). Standards are “changed” to artificially increase the “opportunities” for women in the combat arms. Extremists, which apparently is a synonym for “conservatives,” in the ranks are targeted for elimination. The services are being deliberately balkanized into racial and ethnic groups and played off against one another. They are being morally degraded:

    China looms in the Western Pacific.

    And Lloyd Austin and Mark Milley are focused on CRT and ensuring as many sexual perversions as possible are represented for the sake of Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity.
