Sorry, We Can Only View This Secret Pentagon Meeting as a Plot to Foment an Insurrection
Townhall ^ | 9 Nov, 2024 | Matt Vespa

John Frankenheimer directed a movie called Seven Days in May in the 1960s, starring Kirk Douglas as a military officer who uncovers a coup against the president of the United States by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who signed a deeply unpopular nuclear disarmament treaty. That’s a movie. In 2024, the Pentagon brass plotted to countermand President-elect Donald J. Trump’s orders. If we’re going by the Left’s rules here, this is an insurrection. It’s a military coup. What’s worse is that these anti-Trump meetings were held in secret and then got leaked to the media (via CNN):

Pentagon officials are holding informal discussions about how the Department of Defense would respond if Donald Trump issues orders to deploy active-duty troops domestically and fire large swaths of apolitical staffers, defense officials told CNN.

Trump has suggested he would be open to using active-duty forces for domestic law enforcement and mass deportations and has indicated he wants to stack the federal government with loyalists and “clean out corrupt actors” in the US national security establishment.

[…]

“We are all preparing and planning for the worst-case scenario, but the reality is that we don’t know how this is going to play out yet,” one defense official said.

Trump’s election has also raised questions inside the Pentagon about what would happen if the president issued an unlawful order, particularly if his political appointees inside the department don’t push back.

“Troops are compelled by law to disobey unlawful orders,” said another defense official. “But the question is what happens then – do we see resignations from senior military leaders? Or would they view that as abandoning their people?”

“ Is there a law that says the military can’t arrest illegal aliens inside our country 🤔”
*******************************************
The Posse Comitatus Act prevents the use of the US military for domestic law enforcement purposes WITHOUT THE APPROVAL OF CONGRESS. So they COULD be used to help law enforcement if Congress would pass an Act approving their use for that specific purpose. That is why it is URGENT to have Senator Scott named as Majority Leader instead of one of the obstructionists like Thune or Cornin.

[Obama got rid of ALL THE CHRISTIANS and CONSERVATIVES in the Military and put his STOOGES IN!]

Yes, because Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama is spirit of antichrist, anti-Christian and a Godless Reprobate doing the bidding of his true father, that Old Serpent called the Devil and Satan (John 8:44).

All according to plan.

All according to Satan's plan.

Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama is a Godless Reprobate
false prophet doing (his true father's) Satan's work for a long time now


June 26, 2015 was the Rainbow White House



Barack Obama may not be the Antichrist, but he certainly does a fantastic imitation of him.

Illegal is one thing.

Unpopular doesn't count.

Unfortunately, officers cannot be demoted, except in a final grade determination, such as happened with Major General, now Colonel, Tom Fiscus, the former Judge Advocate General of the Air Force.

If these officers had any honor, they’d resign their commissions. It’s a very simple process, I did it 40 years ago. I was completing my battery command, my last personal objective, and ready to return to civilian life.

Just like the secret vote with Mitch and his little deep state rino’s just had. We are getting that rat mole Thune as majority leader

Sexual harassment of multiple junior female officers over a number of years.
