Bob Woodward: General James Mattis Plotted Overthrow of U.S. Government…

CONSERVATIVE TREEHOUSE ^ | 9/9/2020 | SUNDANCE

[bitt]

According to a pre-release excerpt from the Washington Post Bob Woodward writes about a discussion between General James Mattis and Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats about a plot to overthrow the elected government of the United States.

[…] “Mattis quietly went to Washington National Cathedral to pray about his concern for the nation’s fate under Trump’s command and, according to Woodward, told Coats, “There may come a time when we have to take collective action” since Trump is “dangerous. He’s unfit.” (read more)

What do you call a conversation between the Defense Secretary and the head of the U.S. intelligence apparatus where they are talking about taking “collective action” to remove an elected President? That’s called sedition…. A seditious conspiracy.

As alarming as that sounds on its face, this actually aligns with our own previous research into key military leadership, the joint chiefs, and their corrupt intent to overthrow the elected government. Readers will remember when we noted this very issue after Lt. General Alexander Vindman compromised his position yet was not removed by his command structure within the Pentagon.

NOVEMBER 2019 – […] For emphasis let me repeat a current fact that is being entirely overlooked. Despite his admitted usurpation of President Trump policy, Vindman was sent back to his post in the NSC with the full support of the United States Department of Defense.

The onus of action to remove Vindman from the NSC does not just lay simply at the feet of the White House and National Security advisor Robert O’Brien; and upon whose action the removal of Vindman could be positioned as political; the necessary, albeit difficult or perhaps challenging, obligation to remove Lt. Col Vindman also resides purposefully with the Dept. of Defense....

“...hope Trump readies the rope after he is reelected”

A good knot is traditionally greased.

[Wiki] “When Grover Cleveland was the sheriff of Erie County, he performed two hangings. Cleveland was advised by a more experienced Sheriff to grease the rope with tallow and run it through the knot a few times to ensure rapid closure with the drop. The number of coils should therefore be adjusted depending on the intended use, the type and thickness of rope, and environmental conditions such as wet or greasy rope. Six to eight loops are normal when using natural ropes.”

Mattis turned out to be a modern-version of Douglas MacArthur.

Remembered today as the “prince of Hangmen,” George Maledon’s actual work at Fort Smith is much more difficult to document. He stopped working for the federal court in 1894, and began traveling the area with a tent display showing gallows relics, including nooses and photographs of the men who died on the gallows.[1] The 1899 publication of “Hell on the Border” documented Maledon’s ties to the executions of the Federal Court, and first bestowed the title of “prince of hangmen.”[2]

Great Movie. 😉

[Tucker39]

I’m confused. Was Vindman a Lt. General, or a Lt. Colonel? It’s the difference between silver oak leaves, and 3 stars.

[mad_as_he$$]

Lt. Colonel. He resigned because Trump wouldn’t promote to full col. /s

[Tucker39]

Thanks. One of the replies on that thread said he was a Lt. Gen. I knew THAT wasn’t honto.

[Mark17]

I really liked that movie. I also liked the Twilight’s Last Gleaming. 👍

[Texas Fossil]

It is true.

"Readers will remember when we noted this very issue after Lt. General Alexander Vindman compromised his position yet was not removed by his command structure within the Pentagon."

Sundance must have written this after a hard day of delivering the mail or whatever it is he does in his day job. Later in the article he correctly refers to Vindman as "Lieutenant Colonel".

Jess, you posted...
Mattis worked for the American people and the Constitution and was legally bound to support the President that the American people had lawfully elected.

Let’s agree he failed to support the President, as you say.

But, Mattis wasn’t fired by the “the Americans,” he was fired by the president.

I would say, in that case, he worked “FOR the president.”

Wasn’t he fired by two presidents?

Not an easy task to get rid of the Obama officers it takes years. Swamp creatures permeate the military at all levels and they promote their acolytes. Even former Lions become Lambs in the swamp. The key would be to order the military to reduce it’s Flag level officers by 33%. Many billets held by Flags used to be O6 (colonels/captains) prior to 9-11. This would be the opportunity to flush a lot of Obama appointees. Colonels and Generals are politicians. The ones that are not politically motivated retire at the first opportunity after they reach their terminal rank. The military is in a post war decline, but don’t worry they have a lot of General, Admirals and their bloated staffs working on the issue.

Woodward needs to sign on an Biden’s Press Secretary.
