Milley’s actions were attempted military coup against Trump: Goodwin
New York Post ^ | Septe,ber 18, 2021 | Michael Goodwin

Posted on 09/19/2021 9:20:48 AM PDT by billorites

In the continuing war for the truth, the good guys went to battle with a lone pea shooter against miscreants that have a military. To be precise, it is the military of the United States of America.

Its leader is the latest to have been exposed trying to delegitimize Donald Trump’s presidency.

First, it was the FBI, the CIA, the media, academia and others who crossed the line into political activism, and now we have clear evidence that the top man in the Pentagon also succumbed to the siren song of power. It turns out that the nation’s most admired public institution is led by some people with very dirty hands.

The reprehensible actions of Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, take the cake for audacity and arrogance.

Milley admitted that, late in Trump’s term, he made the calls reported in a forthcoming book, which included a promise to his Chinese counterpart that he would alert China to any planned attack by America. His argument that the calls were “routine” and done to “reassure both allies and adversaries in this case in order to ensure strategic stability” underscores his serious misconduct.

Those decisions and actions are above his pay grade, but Milley never told his superiors what he was doing. But he did reportedly tell his top staff that only he could give final approval for a nuclear strike. A separate report says he warned aides of trouble from Trump supporters, declaring that “we’re the guys with the guns.”

Notably, not a single military officer blew the whistle. see also General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff I respected Mark Milley ⁠— but he has damaged our democracy

In plain English, this was an attempted coup. Milley, in a fit of pique

The coup against Trump started before he took the oath of office.

Clue——Milley’s copy of Seven Days in May is held together with many pieces of Magic Tape. He cries at the ending but then says “In real life we get to write our own endings when we strive for our dreams.” as he wrote in the end papers in ink.

I wonder if the corrupt FBI, New York Times and Washington Post would ignore this as treason if a bunch of officers thought Biden was going senile and warned our enemies that we would tip them off if Biden did 'something' THEY DIDN'T APPROVE OF....

Trump supporters - also known as American citizens who duly elected a President....

The only 'war' these thugs think they can 'win' is against American citizens. I'll bet the little shits won't leave us 85 billion dollars worth of weapons... we don't have money to pay AND THEIR FRIENDS OFF FOR THE BIG GUY AND HIS DRUG ADDICTED FRIEND AND THE CLINTONS AND EPSTEIN AND HALF OF DC....

I have always assumed it to be true that if President X, on one sunny day, picked up the phone and ordered the Chairman of the JCS to nuke Athens, that some more information would be required before the missiles flew.

Information like, “Is this confirmed by National Command Authority?”, or, “Why is this not from SECDEF?”, or some such.

If Milley and every single member of the Joint Chiefs that pledged fealty to him are not prosecuted for crimes against the Constitution or fired for gross insubordination, the Constitution is not worth the paper it is written on.
That means the Executive (including the military), Legislative and Judiciary can play lip-service to the Constitution anytime they want to go around it in order to increase their power. As they have done so many times in the past. Only now, the military no longer answers to the elected Commander in Chief. They will answer to the perceived strongest politician in Washington. Or anywhere else in the world.

I wonder what Doris Kearns Godwin’s thoughts on this are.

No, I don’t.

Milley received a BA from Princeton, then an MA from Columbia, and only then went to the US Naval College. The higher echelons of every segment of government power is populated by those with the delusions and tunnel thinking that come from overrated, elitist, and too often subversive academic institutions.

Academics was never supposed to guide society. It is supposed to be the part of society that encourages free thought and expansion of one's ability to process information in an unbiased manner. It is nothing of the sort now, and has become a training ground for those who want to view themselves as superior beings with the right to impose their will on those they view as less enlightened and less gifted. It's very destructive and very dangerous.

The coup against Trump started before he took the oath of office.
It started at Fox News before the first debate. Brett Baier and Meghan Kelley were openly out to get Trump before that debate began.

That didn't work so they hired Paul Ryan.

Fox succeeded the last election with their silence on election fraud including their resident never-Trumper's electioneering with the early call of Arizona for Biden.

The Biden mess, American Soldiers deaths, innocent lives lost, widowed wives, children who will never see their fathers, the border, etc. is the result of years of Fox finally defeating Trump because THEY don't like him.

Everything that has happened flows directly from the fatal mistake of Usurpation Day.

WE did not drain the swamp, we re-elected the main players. Grahamnesty and McConnell are a prime example.

The Constitution has been a relic in a glass case since ALL of our elected AND appointed swore in the ineligible Kenyan from Indonesia.

Obama is NOT a natural born citizen.
He was born a British subject/Kenyan national WHEREVER he was born, even if it had been in the Lincoln bedroom.
The children of foreigners cannot be natural born citizens as they are born with the foreign nationality of the foreign parent(s).

I share your frustration with the ignorance and complacency of the American people and the obvious complicity of our elected and appointed government officials.

We birthers were right. Obama is an Islamic communist mole planted to undermine America from within.
