Former State Department Official Warns Military is Planning to Derail Trump Presidency
Modernity News ^ | 15th January 2024 | Paul Joseph Watson

“Treason”.

A former State Department official has warned that deep state insiders and elements of the military are planning to derail Trump’s presidency should he win the election.

On Sunday, NBC reported that “a loose-knit network of public interest groups and lawmakers” are planning to use lawfare and other tactics to block Trump from exercising power on day one of his return to the Oval Office.

According to the article, these insiders will go all out “to foil any efforts to expand presidential power,” even if Trump has been given a mandate to do so by the American people.

“Those taking part in the effort told NBC News they are studying Trump’s past actions and 2024 policy positions so that they will be ready if he wins in November,” states the article. “That involves preparing to take legal action and send letters to Trump appointees spelling out consequences they’d face if they undermine constitutional norms.”

However, critics say that the plan is clearly part of an effort to have the military override Trump’s constitutional authority as president.

“Never forget this tweet for the rest of your life,” wrote Mike Benz, executive director for Foundation For Freedom Online and former State Department official.

“This is an admitted plan, in advance, for the military to no longer observe the military chain of command. This is military-run government. This is a plan to end civilian-run government,” he added.

Commentator Michael Malice suggested that the plan was tantamount to “treason”.

Others agreed that the plot amounted to a clear indication that the establishment was ready to resort to treason to stop Trump fulfilling any kind of democratic mandate.

You're literally admitting to a group plotting treason. You realize that, right? And that you are admitting to being an accessory to it.

Just thought you should know that and you may want to go read up on the penalties.

Another respondent pointed out that the woman credited with organizing this plan, Mary B. McCord, is coordinating an “effort to strip Trump of his power as commander in chief.”

McCord is an ardent anti-Trump deep state asset, having approved FISA warrants to surveil Carter Page, a former Trump campaign aide.

Under the Biden administration, the U.S. Military has pursued increasingly inane ‘woke’ policies that have severely impacted recruitment figures.

Last week, it was revealed that the number of new white U.S. Army recruits had dropped from 44,042 in 2018 to just 25,070 in 2023.

Judicial Watch sued several states over voters rolls.

Pennsylvania alone removed over 200,000 names of people who hadn’t voted in a long time. Judicial watch also had an oberver present who saw the bogus count for Allegheny County is 2020.

The reduction in voters reduces the “cheat” margin. You can’t go over 100% turnout nor his high 90s w/o showing manipulation.

Treason?

Robert E. Lee was never convicted of treason - but disruption on that scale is certainly a possibility if (and it's a big if) Trump in a second term is determined to exercise the powers of his office - as he certainly was not from 2017-2021.

That would be mutiny and/or insurrection.

I would not be surprised.

From the moment Trump is announced as winner, the insane radicals will be doing insane, violent and illegal things to block him.

I’m seeing quite a few aggressive racist military and retired military blacks commenting on FB. I hope they are a minority and don’t share the beliefs of the upper echelon of the military. If they do then we are in for a rough time.

This is military-run government.
————-
Just one close look at this years budget- almost $$$ 900 billion allocated for Defense, but only $$$700 billion for everything else!!!

I posted the links on another post as most are not aware. Even worse, a Freeper stated he saw nothing wrong the budget allocation….well, with more than half of our $$$ 1.7 trillion going to Defense alone is disturbing, disgusting and disgraceful.

Paranoid nonsense.

These people will do as they’re told, or they’ll no longer have a commission/job in government.

These so called “plotters” are just dreaming.

OK, but if any lawsuit is filed in these Democrat counties, the partisan judges throw out the case due to “standing” or some other made up excuse and the evidence never gets shown.

I’ll be shocked if Trump manages to get over 270 electoral votes. The criminals in charge simply can’t allow that to happen at this point. It’s authoritarianism full speed ahead with tens of millions of gaslit US dipdh*ts onboard with it to “save Democracy.”

Colonel Vindman tried to have President Trump removed from office...”
———-
Do be reminded the Vindman brothers are Ukies, dual citizens. Also be reminded our largest bail out of SVB bank was funneling money to Ukrainian banks….then piped back to Democrats….and not a word mentioned about it at his trial!

The corruption in our country and our corrupted Ukie “ partners” is beyond belief.

The military loved Trump.

The rank and file loved Trump.

The admirals and generals that Obama appointed (and now Biden) are solidly socialist and 100% anti-Trump.

“The military loved Trump”

The Xiden administration installed a bunch of Obamites into positions of authority in the military. There needs to be a wholesale purge of treasonous democrat officers. Beginning with anyone who’s stupid enough to vote for a democrat. Decimate the roles and install officers who understand and respect their constitutional oaths.
