The Mockingbird Media, unless silenced, would have non-English speaking UN troops on our soil within days.

You are attributing much more power to the media than they have. And downplaying the power of the military, and imho, the integrity of the media. What do you think about Act.SecDef Miller’s statement about the complex military operation he was doing?

[Publius]

There is an old saying in the Mafia: "The threat of violence is more effective than the actual use of violence."

The same thing applies to the use of military power. Back in the Cold War era, it was called "Mutually Assured Destruction."

I think that's what Miller was talking about. The threat of military takeover is a card that can be played in this game. Again, it's more game theory.
