Remember the Failed Coup Attempt against Trump
National Review ^ | 08/10/2021 | M T Owens

Posted on 08/10/2021 8:31:39 AM PDT by Recovering_Democrat

Despite many inherent difficulties, some military leaders showed apparent willingness to support radical calls to resist the president...

.... if military officers had done to President Obama some of the things that members of the intelligence community (IC) had done to President Trump, they would have been denounced as conspirators seeking to undermine the actions of a duly elected president, and thus enemies of civilian control of the military and the Constitution itself.

...That this sort of activity on the part of the IC was ongoing was confirmed by a prominent member of the intelligence brotherhood who acknowledged that Trump was right to believe that intelligence agencies were out to get him. In an interview with Politico’s Susan Glasser, Michael Morell, a former deputy director of the CIA (and twice acting director), conceded that the IC’s hostility to Trump had led its leadership to abandon its traditional nonpartisanship. In August 2016, Morell, who had retired in 2013, penned a New York Times op-ed praising Hillary Clinton and calling Trump a danger to the nation.

Of course, I was not the first to use the word “coup” when it came to Trump. That honor belongs to Georgetown Law School professor Rosa Brooks...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Obama being sworn in was an assault on the Constitution itself.

He was born a British subject/Kenyan national WHEREVER he was born, he is NOT a natural born citizen.
He came back from Indonesia as an Indonesian citizen.

From where I’m sitting, the coup succeeded. You could check with Joe, but he may be napping.

Yep.

Where he was born doesn’t matter one jot.

There was a coup early on, by Rosenstein/Pence/Ryan. Invoke the 25th. From a whistleblower deposition.

Yep. They are already in the process of dehumanizing Trump voters. You can bet there are plenty of Che clones just chomping at the bit to commence with the excecutions. The Political Prisoners rotting in the DC Gulag are what poker players call a 'tell'.

denounced as conspirators! Oooooh!

That's like House Committee writing a nasty letter, right? If we can't bring accountability more palpably than that, the Republic is surely finished.

(But, I think we can, and its ground-swell is clearly rumbling as we speak.)

If these generals were as successful in their talked up coup against Trump as their strategy was in Afghanistan I don’t think Trump had much to worry about.

Nobody has really thought this out.

Those government individuals, NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY NOW, had a new POTUS that they undermined because they didn’t agree with WHY he was elected. That is plain and simple treason.

Those individuals whom stormed the capital, which I don’t agree with for the record, were either treasonous or patriots. They were treasonous if we had a clean election, like the media and democrats claim. If the election was not clean, or if it demonstrated willful incompetence in it’s implementation, their effort could be viewed as patriotic.

The second group may be misguided (depending if the election was dirty), believing they were there to ‘save the Republic’ but the first group KNEW that they were Executive Branch employees and plotted against a legally elected POTUS because the people wanted change.

Is this really the National Review mentioning the word “coup” - National Review, home of people like David French?

"He was born a British subject/Kenyan national WHEREVER he was born, he is NOT a natural born citizen."

Have you forgotten that the black hats already ran out the clock on the "not a natural born citizen" amidst largely-successful "BIRTHER!" claims between 2004-2011, and was failed to be resurrected by Arpaio, the Cold Case Posse and the bumbling, likely-corrupt Mike Zullo? That battlefield is littered in their mendacious debris and confusion. Not that I concede the point at all, but the majority of the admittedly propagandized citizenry very often and most vocally think either "growing up in America from a young age," "was born to one or more American parents [think McCain]," or "anchor-born in any US state [e.g., Hawaii]" is certainly close enough that it's not worth a legal fight. They--not I--would say, "The US survived Barry better than it did Trump!"

There are, however, close to a dozen conclusive proofs that Barry's proffered paperwork was manufactured and forged with copious falsehoods under the procurement of C|A asset "Loretta Fuddy," whom Brennan and Barry on 12/11/2013 gave a faked-death "retirement" for her traitorous acts against the US.

When the easily-accessible facts settle, there will be no real support that Barry was a British National, as quick tests will show he shares no blood relationship to Malik Obama or Maya Soetoro-Ng. So banging the walls with easily disproven info will not stand scrutiny and only sets up failure, as the nay-sayers come out with, "See! You racist guys didn't know what you were talking about and have all along just fishing to malign our Preezy!"

Barry has shown only forged credentials of any American citizenship until his US Senatorial passport was manufactured by John O. Brennan and covered up at the State Department. It contains false representations, of course, sealed in undiscovered history by Lieutenant Quarles Harris' murder.

Barry was considered an Indonesia citizen while he lived there, but the best available information is that the source documents for his Indonesian citizenship "[were] eaten by worms," or at least it was so claimed. (It almost certainly contained correct information that Barry's Deep State protectors wanted never to be seen by uncorrupted American eyes.)

So, yes, while the evidence points to Barry's Indonesian citizenship when he came to the US around age 10 (manufactured DOB 8/4/61 as 216th day of the year, 6 x 6 x 6 is just for a show of power), he was a already a Deep State intel asset, as were both Stanley Ann and Lolo. There have long been been many assaults on the Constitution. The propagandized assault on the American citizenry to hide such assaults has a huge majority living the blue-pill delusion. That has been Barry's three-letter-agency protected status that has saved him again and again throughout his life.

I agree, the whole Mueller thing was just the first swing. They’re still at it.

Right. He isn’t a natural born citizen as is required by the Constitution.

That’s because, whatever “citizenship” he inherited at birth from mom, from dad and from soil was NOT all American.

Otoh, if his mom and his dad were both American citizens when he was born … and … he was born in America on American soil, then his citizenship pedigree by birth would be ALL American.

What else could it be, right?

But, that’s not obama … obama is more like a Trojan horse weapon sent against us/US to fundamentally transform Amerika.

And would have been a total success … had it not been for President Trump’s MAGA interruptus of their moment.

But that was then. But now?

BOHICA, y’all.

After all that’s happened in the last year, I do not believe that DJT caught the virus naturally. I think it was on purpose.
