Retired Gen. on CNN Says Military Has ‘Threat Within’ for 2024, Warns ‘Stop Listening to the Pillow Guy and Start Learning’

Retired Gen. Steven M. Anderson spoke to CNN’s Pamela Brown about 2024 and blasted Donald Trump supporters in the military as a threat from within, and advised they stop listening to “the pillow guy” and get educated on civics.

Anderson, along with fellow retired Gens. Paul Eaton and Antonio Taguba, authored an oped earlier this month warning of the potential for a “Trumpian” coup attempt in 2024.

On CNN, he talked about the subject, saying the big problem is where allegiances lie, and the potential for a “cult-like” figure to sway even military members into insurrection. And he mentioned MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell as a major source of misinformation.

“There’s a threat within,” said the retired general. “We’ve got some people that just haven’t been educated. They haven’t been found out, and they’ve grown in power, through perhaps inaction on the parts of some of our key leaders.”

People do not realize that the CIA and Intelligence Agencies run the USA now, do they?

What the general means is that these folks have not yet been re-educated. Just what does the general think our key leaders should be doing?

So, if citizens freely elect Donald Trump as our next President the perverts and sexual weirdos running the Pentagon will see it as a coup and attack American citizens? Doesn't get more totalitarian than that...

Does this stupid general even know that LEFTIST groups were promising to “shut down the country” if Trump won, and THAT is why windows were being boarded up in major cities before the election? Does anyone in the media remember? Does that smelly old rat Merrick Garland remember?

Retired Gen. Steven M. Anderson should be recalled to active duty, face Court-Martial, stripped of rank and pension, and then be waterboarded just for fun!!!! Yea, like that will ever happen. Just another pentagon perfumed-princess shooting off his mouth.

Its obvious where Gen. Anderson’s allegiances lie, he a woke man dear to the heart of Gen. Milley. They are responsible for the slump and degradation of our military.

When an active general startsfoaming at the mouth while discussing things Trump, and soft-peddling the notion that he would stand against a coup of the republican kind, there is only one end for him, regardless of having a shoulder full of “I’ve been there” medals.

When someone mentions “get educated” that usually means they are lying

Looks as if he's heavily into green energy, so he's obviously got a leftwing bias.

As a complement to his duties with RELYANT, Anderson serves on the board of directors of two companies in what he categorizes as “energistics” – leveraging alternative energy reduction, production, storage and management to cut logistics requirements and costs: Ultralife Corporation, a $250M/year battery manufacturer (Rochester, NY) and CIYCOR Global, a company that provides financing and technical support for renewable energy and construction projects worldwide (Chicago, IL). He also advises numerous start-up companies in the energy sector.

Has anyone ever asked the BBC journalist to compare her ”tell-tale signs” of election fraud with what went on in the US elelection 2020?
Would be quite revealing.

Michael Flynn is also a retired general and he says there was absolute proof of foreign interference and massive fraud during the 2020 election.

Joe Biden is 100% illegitimate. He is nothing but an installed puppet by enemies of the USA. He is another Vidkun Quisling.

Justice is coming and the coup plotters are going to pay for their treachery.

I wonder where in the MI complex revolving door these parasites have found a sinecure? If so, it makes sense they wouldn’t want their apple carts upended.
