I don’t know is this has been posted already, forgive me if so.
Thomas Wictor latest:
James Mattis to Resign as Secretary of Defense
What Did He Say in His Letter
As for seeing Russia and China as threats, Trump oversaw the most serious MILITARY defeat the US ever inflicted on the Russian empire, the USSR or the Russian Federation.
February 7, 2018. Dear Ezzor, Syria.
An assault battalion of 550 Russians attacked about 40 Americans. We killed 200-300 and wounded 200-300. The Russians suffered 100 percent casualties. It’s clear that the Russians were set up. They were told that the Americans would retreat and let Assad reclaim the nearby oil fields. Officially, the US used multirole jet fighters, B-52 strategic bombers, AC-130 gunships, Apache helicopter gunships, and US Marine precision-guided artillery.
If we used B-52s and AC-130s, they would’ve had to fly from Qatar and Djibouti respectively.
The trips would’ve taken hours, and the aircraft would’ve had to refuel.
That means that either the aircraft were already on station, or the aircraft were not American.
Trump and Saudi Arabia have been working together for years now. Obviously Mattis knows about these operations. US Today reports that Mattis resigned because Trump ordered our troops out of Syria against Mattis’s wishes.
Well, guess what?
“The U.S. military constructed a new base in the eastern countryside of the Deir Ezzor Governoratet this week, despite Donald Trump’s announcement that American troops would be withdrawing from Syria.
“According to local reports from the Deir Ezzor province, the U.S. military constructed a new base west of the former Islamic State stronghold of Hajin.”
My guess is that Mattis’s resignation letter is his last act of military deception (MILDEC). It’s intended to make Trump’s enemies think he’s losing control of his presidency.
“It’s always great to be underestimated” said Donald John Trump before he was elected.
Those who underestimate him often don’t live to regret it.
ADDENDUM:
Under James Mattis, this was the Pentagon Website.
Note the mission statement.
Lots more, with pictures and video at link.
The Judicial Watch link posted by Q leaves just one pair of dots unconnected.
It states clearly that arms were being shipped through Benghazi and that al-Qaeda attacked.
The implication is that they were going to ISIS, a rival of al-Qaeda for leadership of the Sunni caliphate.
THE MISSING PIECE: Hillary and Obama were enabling the shipment of arms to ISIS.
I think that would be a smoking gun when it comes out officially, that even some of the RATs might understand.
Well .. Well ... Very interesting. This week, when POTUS was seen as crying uncle by Chuck U. Schumer and Ann Coulter, it was like Trump was avoiding NOT having a shutdown. When this happened before I believe Mulvaney had a field day with the shutdown necessarily requiring stoppage of non essential services. Now with everything else at bay or pending ... Very interesting!
Merry Christmas!
When I was a young boy
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band
He said, son, when you grow up
Would you be the savior of the broken
The beaten, and the damned?
He said, will you defeat them
Your demons and all the non-believers?
The plans that they have made?
Because one day I’ll leave you
A phantom to lead you in the summer
To join the black parade
When I was a young boy
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band
He said, son, when you grow up
You will be the savior of the broken
The beaten, and the damned?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The best outcome will be if POTUS wins this round, then instigates a NEW SHUTDOWN every time one of the CRs comes up for renewal!
Getting the wall funded ... $5 billion at a time.
ANON thought on the picture in the oval office and the flags:
Here is a picture of all of the flags from August 2017. All branches of the military are present.
Many people have already mentioned that the military flags represent the fact that we are at war. While that is probably one meaning, it doesn’t explain the use of 3 US flags and 3 presidential flags. Total of 10 flags.
Could these flags represent the Q Team?
POTUS + less than 10; only 3 non-military. Drops 60 and 1788.
Presidential flags = 3 non-military members (including POTUS)
Marine flag = 1 high level Marine member
Army flag = 1 high level Army member
Navy flag = 1 high level Navy member
Air Force flag = 1 high level Air Force member
US flags = 3 members of Military Intelligence (NSA, DoD, etc.), or lower level military members
“The director of the NSA is a military officer of flag rank (i.e., a general or an admiral) with a minimum of three stars.”

In August of 2017, Sen. Chuck Grassley sent a letter to Secretary of Defense James Mattis and the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) Lt. Gen. Vincent R. Stewart, in which he revealed that his Senate Judiciary Committee had been shown some highly classified documents by current DIA personnel back on May 25.
In his letter, Grassley specifically requested that Mattis and Stewart declassify at least one particular piece of information in these documents out of fairness to Flynn. He wrote:
“Based on representations made by the DIA personnel, it appears the public release of this information would not pose any ongoing risk to national security. Moreover, the declassification would be in the public interest, and is in the interest of fairness to Lt. General Flynn.”
This Executive Order is a big deal.

(Some current projects are only 10,000 acres that are included in the Farm Bill.)
These numbers mean President Trump is serious about cleaning up the Forest issues and reducing the risk of catastrophic wild fires. The EnvironMentalists are going to lose their minds. :)
Excerpt from the EO
A) Treating 3.5 million acres of Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service (FS) lands to reduce fuel load;
(B) Treating 2.2 million acres of USDA FS lands to protect water quality and mitigate severe flooding and erosion risks arising from forest fires;
(C) Treating 750,000 acres of USDA FS lands for native and invasive species;
(D) Reducing vegetation giving rise to wildfire conditions through forest health treatments by increasing health treatments as part of USDA’s offering for sale at least 3.8 billion board feet of timber from USDA FS lands;”
HOW WILL HE GET THIS DONE?? From the EO-MY EMPHASIS ADDED.
“(c) In conjunction with establishment of goals, and by no later than March 31, 2019, the Secretaries shall identify salvage and log recovery options from lands damaged by fire during the 2017 and 2018 fire seasons, insects, or disease.
Sec. 3. Coordination and Efficient Processes. Effective Federal agency coordination and efficient administrative actions and decisions are essential to improving the condition of America’s forests, rangelands, and other Federal lands. To advance the policies set forth in this order and the goals set by the Secretaries, the Secretaries shall:
(a) Coordinate with the heads of all relevant Federal agencies to PRIORITIZE and PROMPTLY implement post-wildfire rehabilitation, salvage, and forest restoration;
(b) STREAMLINE agency administrative and regulatory processes and policies relating to fuel reduction in forests, rangelands, and other Federal lands and forest restoration when appropriate by:
(i) Adhering to minimum statutory and regulatory time periods, to the maximum extent practicable, for comment, consultation, and administrative review processes related to active management of forests, rangelands, and other Federal lands, including management of wildfire risks;
(ii) Using ALL applicable categorical exclusions set forth in law or regulation for fire management, restoration, and other management projects in forests, rangelands, and other Federal lands when implementing the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.);
(iii) Consistent with applicable law, developing and using NEW CATEGORICAL exclusions to implement active management of forests, rangelands, and other Federal lands; and
(iv) Immediately PRIORITIZING efforts to reduce the time required to comply with consultation obligations under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).”
This could really help us turn the tide on the activists who have stopped forest management for years. There is more in the EO but I have Christmas cookies to make. If anyone feels like digging, I wonder what other Christmas gifts President Trump left us in the form of EO’s??
Excellent Post!
Thank you for posting it, excellent. Means 0bola’s going down, no doubt about it. Columbia Law Review is hardcore commie and they’re mad.
The DOJ then was not going to prosecute.
And of course, Paul Sperry (whoever the ef he is) knows EVERYTHING that the DOJ, FBI, and federal prosecutors in every state are up to.
Applause!
I live in the PNW and for years we breathe smoke for months and worry about fires reaching us, often a few miles away.
THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP!
Then up is down and left is right…
Ocasio-Cortez calls for congressional salaries to be furloughed during next shutdown
“It’s completely unacceptable that members of Congress can force a government shutdown on partisan lines & then have Congressional salaries exempt from that decision,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on Twitter.
“Have some integrity,” she added, calling for salaries to be furloughed for the next shutdown.
