Breitbart ^ | 01/08/2024 | KRISTINA WONG

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Monday said President Joe Biden “continues to have complete confidence” in Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin even after he was admitted on January 1 to the intensive care unit — where he remains — but did not alert Biden of his condition until Thursday, January 4.

A reporter asked Jean-Pierre, “Should the American people have confidence in Austin, given his lack of transparency?”

Jean-Pierre then claimed that Austin had “taken responsibility” by issuing a statement on Saturday.

7 DAYS and still in ICU? What ICU, MICU, Cardiac ICU— what- why no info. Dude is overweight, hypertensive will bet and a career of incompetence. So naturally he’s obamaumao’s choice to head DOD... directing JoeBama to “normalize and homogenize” DOD. Ridiculous, stupid man. Mossad has run circles around him- his whole ME career.

How often does “voluntary surgery” land you in the ICU for a week...IF they are even telling the truth on that. He’s probably dead is my guess.

If we know that an individual works for the Biden Crime Family (BCF), we know all that need be known about those felons, creeps, fake degree holders, woke turds, and other vermin.

Complete confidence that he had to be taken to the hospital for an elective surgery emergency?

And no one told anyone at the White House?

Biden knows that his black base will become incensed if he were to dump Austin whatever the facts especially after some of his elite donors were instrumental in forcing the black, anti Semitic plagiarist Gay at Harvard to resign. Biden owes his Presidency to the political support of his black base. He cannot risk alienating them.

Austin did not even inform his deputy who stepped
in while he was gone.......and Biden was on vacation

So three of the country’s top security figures were in the dark
in case of an emergency.....if Americans were in danger.

Here’s a guy whose Deputy was on vacation in Puerto Rico, his chief of staff was down with flu, and he ‘elects’ to go AWOL into a hospital without telling anyone and then winds up in the ICU with hot military conflicts going on all over the world. He is one of the essential actors in executing the nuclear codes.

Word has it on the web that Russian blew him up in the Ukraine while he was having a secret meeting there.

So far, this is the most plausible scenario, explaining the facts as we currently know them.

Russian Claim: Austin Dead In Ukraine

"Criminal Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin was allegedly killed in Kyiv on January 3 when Russian cruise missiles peltered a command bunker where Austin and Lieutenant General Valerii Zaluzhnyi, commander in chief of the Ukrainian Army, met secretly to discuss mounting an asymmetrical offensive to “bring Vladimir Putin to his knees,” claims a Russian FSB source known for providing invaluable intelligence and the truth behind Putin’s Special Military Operation in Ukraine.

"FSB agent Andrei Zakharov’s tale, however, directly contradicts an administration narrative about Austin clandestinely hospitalizing himself for an unknown ailment at Walter Reed Hospital. Friday evening, a frenzied media went haywire after Politico ran an article about Austin admitting himself to the hospital and staying there an entire week without notifying his criminal in chief, pResident Joseph R. Biden. The report quickly spiraled into undreamt of drama that engulfed all levels of government, with several lawmakers calling for Austin to resign for poor judgment and lack of transparency at once. Austin’s unannounced absence has embarrassed a criminal regime struggling to stay afloat.
