More Than 120 Retired Flag Officers Call On Americans To ‘Save America, Our Constitutional Republic, And Hold Those Currently In Office Accountable’
The Federalist ^ | MAY 10, 2021 | Tristan Justice

More than 120 retired flag officers are calling on Americans to rally and reject the nation’s excessive embrace of a radical leftist agenda, particularly the “antiracism” efforts the left weaponizes to suppress dissent.

“Our nation is in deep peril. We are in a fight for our survival as a Constitutional Republic like no other time since our founding in 1776,” wrote the prominent group of 124 retired generals and admirals. “The conflict is between supporters of Socialism and Marxism vs. supporters of Constitutional freedom and liberty.”

The signatories, which include President Ronald Reagan’s former National Security Adviser John Poindexter, President George W. Bush’s former Deputy Undersecretary of Defense William Gerald Boykin, and retired Army Brigadier General Donald Bolduc, who is now running for Senate in New Hampshire, rail against a litany of left-wing pursuits showcased in the first 100 days of the new administration led by President Joe Biden, who has redefined what it means to run a far-left presidency.

The retired flag officers blasted the Democrats’ assault on election integrity, pursuit of open borders, rampant Silicon Valley censorship, re-engagement with the Iran nuclear deal, dismissal of energy independence highlighted through the elimination of the Keystone Pipeline, weaponization of the military to gaslight the public of right-wing threats, excuses for left-wing anarchists in city streets, and the recent confusion over nuclear code procedures at the White House.

“Under a Democrat Congress and the Current Administration, our Country has taken a hard left turn toward Socialism and a Marxist form of tyrannical government,” the officers wrote.

Biden has aggressively pursued this agenda in large part through the power of the pen, with no clear legislative mandate to enact a hard-left agenda given a November victory of less than 43,000 votes across three tipping-point states, an evenly divided Senate, and narrow six-seat majority in the lower chamber after unexpected Democrat losses in the House.

“The Current Administration has launched a full-blown assault on our Constitutional rights in a dictatorial manner, bypassing the Congress, with more than 50 Executive Orders quickly signed, many reversing the previous Administration’s effective policies and regulations,” write the retired officers, noting Biden has the most orders signed since President Franklin D. Roosevelt. “Moreover, population control actions such as excessive lockdowns, school and business closures, and most alarming, censorship of written and verbal expression are all direct assaults on our fundamental rights.”

The group is calling on Americans to throw out far-left politicians in favor of candidates at the federal, state, and local levels who place value in fiscal responsibility and individual rights over socialist collectivism as conditions present prime and necessary circumstances for the revival of a new 21st-century Tea Party movement.

“The survival of our Nation and its cherished freedoms, liberty, and historic values are at stake,” they wrote.

The 120 Officers need to get ready for a full blown cancellation...

There’s something going on in France and the U.S right now that appears similar. In addition, I believe the Colonial Pipeline hack fits into this picture somehow as to what’s coming down. Macron and Biden (Austin) may boast all want, but they better watch their backside. As I have said before, if the military turns against these tyrants, they will fold like a cheap house of cards.

Biden/Harris will never recover from their stern letter.

How many of these officers were on active duty and got their stars during the Kenyan’s reign? Where did they think this was going back then?

America has TOO MANY flag officers. We did not have nearly this many during World War II.

It used to be a full colonel was a big deal. Now, they empty waste baskets at the Pentagon.

The US government and Constitution were overthrown on Jan.20.

Those who perpetrated this act, and all who have collaborated with them after Jan.20, have committed high treason, a crime for which there is no statute of limitations.

My point in posting about this....We see this push by current SecDef who announced a military wide stand down and initiated a study into extremism in the military aka White Nationalists as described by the Liberals...

These 120 retired officers will be used as proof of extremism and white nationalism in the military so that any current members of the military need to be purged if they show the slightest agreement with them....

January 20, 2009, Usurpation Day when ALL of our elected AND appointed abrogated the Constitution.

Trump’s term was an attempt at a restoration, but the Deep State snuffed it out with the cooperation of BOTH parties.

ALL of the bad things have been BIPARTISAN

Illegal alien inundation

Kenyanesian Usurpation

Big Steal

It should be obvious at this point that the ballot box had become a worthless lost cause

"Biden has aggressively pursued this agenda in large part through the power of the pen"

No, he has not agressively done anything. He has submissively obeyed all of Val-Jar's (and obozo's) muslim demands.

How quaint.

But their words don’t amount to a pile of monkey squeeze when you have SecDef lloyd autism with the crap he’s pushing along with the limp wristed perfume princes like Milly who have all rolled over to play dead.

The executive branch of the US government became fraudulent on Jan.20.

It alone has the authority to enforce federal law.

As fraudulent the executive branch has no authority to enforce any law - in which case law enforcement reverts to the people.

The winner of a conflict is the lawful authority, while the loser is a “rebel”.

One of my old friends graduated from the Naval Academy and went on to become a Top Gun fighter pilot. He retired with the rank of captain. This guy was a real warrior. I asked him why he never was promoted to flag rank. He bellowed “I did not want to kiss ass!”

It is a certainty that the Biden Regime will try to destroy them. The only questions are the means at their disposal.
Quite possibly they declare them ‘Russian agents’ and use the executive order recently signed against them.

They were alweays there.

The DNCMedia ignored them and promoted the few Perfumed Princesses of the Pentagon who hated Trump.

Oh.

NOW they say something.

America is chock full of fools and charlatans. That kind flocks to to government “service” where they pretty much just service themselves.

“The question is, are they going to be arrested for treason or will the government find some other way to mess with their pensions and employment?”

For bad-mouthing the president, no matter how deserving he may be of any and all criticism, they could be recalled to active duty and court-martialed.
