There will be no coup in the United States.

The only one we had was the assassination of JFK.

And in line with the articles premise, the very fact that there was a coup was concealed with great energy.

Those who took the Oath, ignored it.

“ISIS” is based in countries the US overthrew, killed the leaders of, and warred in (still!).

“ISIS” is run by the CIA and the same tactics they use to overthrow Assad and conquer Syria are employed in the US - witness BLM/BLT/NOI/”ISIS” activity. Our “protectors” don’t even pretend to pretend to have a plan - and why should they? The Mask Is Off and What They Want To Happen IS HAPPENING. This is classic pre-overthrow destabilization activity expertly timed for the latter part of campaign 2016.

The CINC is an open Communist and Destroyer of everything.

There’s the very real possibility of President Hitlery and UN Secretary BHO in 6 months as well as that Gestapo National Police Force BHO and Lynch and fellow travelers want. Won’t that be fun?

Maybe we can outsource a coup to the Egyptian Military. They honored their Oath.

Thank you, Mr.M.J.B......that is the stench that is looming on the horizon if Obama’s puppet is elected.

Might have a look at who created the "junior Senator from Illinois" someone who uses multiple SS numbers, has multiple names and families and who has major portions of his history so obfuscated no one will ever know the truth. Someone who still has his government records sealed, has multiple phony birth records, never published a thing as Harvard Law Review editor and who clearly doesn't have the intellectual capital to be half of what he claims. All his associations are subversive and Communist, before and after becoming "president."

He rose from absolutely nowhere and became Leader of the free World???

BHO was created by a State Intelligence Agency, a very powerful one, and it wasn't the ChiComs or the Rooskies...

He actually hid very little. Anyone with a room temperature IQ could see who he was before 2008. One had to look no further than his mentor Jeremiah Wright, a "former" Muslim and BLT Evangelist.

And haven't those chickens come home to roost?

America voted for him. Twice.

Yes! There will be no coup! Fer cripes sake, FReepers, Obama can’t even engineer general confiscation of guns, let alone a total usurpation of state power!

“I am suspending the Constitution of the United States.”

Yeah, right, Jug Ears. Wanna start another War Between the States? Proclaim yourself dictator & see what happens!

So sick of all the doomsday crap. The 82nd Airborne Division consists of about 17,000 personnel. Let them take over America, all fifty states. Yeah, right!

“Fer cripes sake, FReepers”

Do you think Freepers are that stoopid? The article talks about how Talcum-X of BLM thinks there may be a coup if Trump is elected, not FReepers. I doubt there’s a single FReeper who thinks the 82nd Airborne would devise a coup if Trump OR Hillary wins. Perhaps if you get “so sick” of what you perceive as “doomsday crap”, you might not want to click on those threads that make you sick. Others do indeed like laughing at the ramblings of Talcum-X and discussions thereof.

Gee, I didn’t see the “semi-satire” alert. My oopsie.

Anyway, the 82nd reference brought up issues about posse commitatus & the larger question as whether the Federal government has at its disposal the sheer manpower to effect a martial law takeover of the United States. I say it doesn’t & commandeering the states’ law enforcement assets is problematic.

But yes, there are FReepers who think Obama can & will come for our guns. Again, we know he wants to but can’t. Look at his foot-stamping frustration every time he so much as brings up the subject of guns. It’s fun to watch; how he wishes he could darken the skies with hordes of flying monkeys going out to seize all the guns.

It’s not as bad as all that, is what I’m saying.

The American coup is being accomplished by the Supreme Court, which for some reason people seem to expect and permit to rule over us.

Yeah, and look how that turned out. That little stunt got us LBJ who passed every bit of hair-brained legislation that JFK would never have been able to get through Congress.

Hard to know what the assassins had in mind (seeing as there is still so much controversy about who was involved), but I suspect they were not doing it to pass the Great Society and the Immigration and Nationality act of 1965.
