Backing Trump, Some Ex-Military Officers Spread Conspiracies, Urge Martial Law
SOTT ^ | 12/05/2021 | Greg Myers

The White House on Monday nominated O'Grady to be assistant secretary of defense for international security affairs at the Pentagon.

But in a review of his public statements, CNN found that O'Grady called former President Barack Obama and some military generals "sworn socialists" in a radio interview. On Twitter, he endorsed a tweet that called former Defense Secretary James Mattis a "traitor." And he has backed multiple conspiracy theories, retweeting the baseless claim that Hillary Clinton and George Soros somehow helped facilitate foreign interference in last month's election.

O'Grady's nomination still requires Senate confirmation. Even if he clears that hurdle, he's almost certain to be replaced when President-elect Joe Biden becomes commander in chief next month.

O'Grady, who headed the group Veterans for Trump during the campaign, is just one of several prominent, retired military officials who have promoted some of the most outlandish election conspiracy theories and, in some cases, voiced approval for martial law.

And after your 30 days are up and the Supreme Court strikes down the election as unconstitutional, the House passes articles of impeachment, and Schumer says he already has 83 votes to impeach, what then?

If Trump or any other president goes the martial law route then it isn't going to be pretty and it isn't going to be short. You will have to suspend the judiciary otherwise they can and will overturn your actions. You will have to disband Congress and rule by fiat because you can't depend on the House and Senate supporting you. You'll have to suspend much of the Constitution because you can't have people working against what you're trying to do. And you'll have to do that for a long time.

Don’t think Trump would declare a Martial Law he’s to smart for that he’s got something greater in mind and they will never see it coming.

Those are the generals that survived Obama’s purge and are beholden to the Deep State the stars on their shoulders. They were traitors then and are traitors now.

Many comments on this forum in various posts are akin to fake Christians believing in Christ until he begins showing up...

Trumps speech that was taking down after staged riot was in front of a Green Screen. This post is part of the puzzle. I side with the calmness and experience of this combat vet of 24 years and a former member of Seal Team 6.

Truth of course is NOW called ‘Conspiracy’ by the demlefty media mouthpieces (actually has been for quite a while).
