The Guys with the Guns? The Bankrupt Woke Military By Charles Taylor (Florida)
I have commented on General Mark Milley’s claim that Trump was set to call for a military coup, which he was going to deal with by resigning. An additional comment is that this is a pretty pathetic response, for if he thought it was wrong, wouldn’t he be prepared to fight against the coup, not just resign? After all, he arrogantly said that his guys have the guns. Well, no, not actually, there are more guns in civilian hands, and more even in conservative possession, not even considering a likely split in the military. Certainly his boys have jets and nukes, but those did not help the US win any war of the flea, against Third World guerrillas. Vietnam? Afghanistan? Were you in Afghanistan too, General? Tough wasn’t it? The endless dust got to me.
“Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Army Gen. Mark Milley, who has proven to be just another woke swamp creature, was so scared the former President Donald Trump would attempt a coup that he and over service chiefs created a plan to resign instead of carrying out the generals self-created coup fantasy.
“This is a Reichstag moment… The gospel of the Führer,” Milley allegedly said to his aides according to CNN. The comments were allegedly made from excerpts in the upcoming book I Alone Can Fix It by Post reporters Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker. Check out what Breitbart reported:
Milley was worried Trump was stoking unrest in the days before the January 6 riot and that he would use it as an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act and “call out the military,” according to CNN.
“They may try, but they’re not going to f**king succeed,” Milley reportedly said. “You can’t do this without the military. You can’t do this without the CIA and the FBI. We’re the guys with the guns.”
Milley also reportedly told aides ahead of a pro-Trump “Million MAGA March” in November that he feared it could be the “modern American equivalent of ‘brownshirts in the streets,’” referring to the pro-Nazi militia supporting Hitler’s rise.
Breitbart News reached out to Milley’s spokesman for comment on Wednesday afternoon but did not receive a response.
However, a defense official “close to the general” told CNN that Milley will not publicly address the book, and did not dispute that Milley “engaged in activities and communications that are not part of the traditional portfolio of a chairman in the final days of Trump’s presidency.”
The official did state that Milley is “not going to sit in silence while people try to use the military against Americans,” and that while he “‘tried his hardest to actively stay out of politics,’ if the events that occurred brought him into that arena temporarily, ‘so be it.’”
The book also details conversations Milley had with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi after President Trump fired Defense Secretary Mark Esper.
“We are all trusting you,” she said. “Remember your oath.” The two even talked about the possibility that Trump would use nuclear weapons after the January 6 riot.
Milley appeared to refer to Trump supporters as Nazis when planning for President Joe Biden’s inauguration: “Here’s the deal, guys: These guys are Nazis, they’re boogaloo boys, they’re Proud Boys. These are the same people we fought in World War II. We’re going to put a ring of steel around this city and the Nazis aren’t getting in.”
Breitbart continues:
Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly personally thanked Milley: “We all know what you and some others did.”
The book concludes with Milley describing relief there had not been a coup, telling Michelle Obama at the inauguration: “No one has a bigger smile today than I do. … You can’t see it under my mask, but I do.”
Milley has become the subject of national controversy, after defending teaching critical race theory in the military during a House Armed Services Committee hearing last month.”
The Chinese will destroy a US military composed of these woke morons. In my opinion of course, Bob.
“Former President Donald Trump responded to anonymously sourced reports claiming a top U.S. general made comments he was worried about a coup attempt after the 2020 election.
Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, allegedly told his subordinates he felt the need to be “on guard” after Nov. 3, according to a book from two Washington Post reporters that cited anonymous officials. “You can’t do this without the military. You can’t do this without the CIA and the FBI. We’re the guys with the guns,” the general reportedly said.
But Trump, in a statement on Thursday, said Milley’s comments were false.
“I never threatened, or spoke about, to anyone, a coup of our Government,” Trump said in an emailed statement. “So ridiculous! Sorry to inform you, but an Election is my form of ‘coup,’ and if I was going to do a coup, one of the last people I would want to do it with is General Mark Milley.”
Trump’s statement then took aim at former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis.
“He got his job only because the world’s most overrated general, James Mattis, could not stand him, had no respect for him, and would not recommend him,” the former president added. “To me the fact that Mattis didn’t like him, just like Obama didn’t like him and actually fired Milley, was a good thing, not a bad thing. I often act counter to people’s advice who I don’t respect.”
In June, Milley was criticized by Republican lawmakers for his apparent defense of critical race theory during a congressional hearing, saying he’s read both Karl Marx and Soviet dictator and founder Vladimir Lenin. But, according to Milley, having read such authors “doesn’t make me a communist. So, what is wrong with understanding … the country which we are here to defend?”
And Trump commented on Milley’s actions in the summer of 2020 amid Black Lives Matter demonstrations and riots around the United States and near the White House. At one point last year, officials said the historic St. John’s Church in Washington D.C.’s Layafette Square was set on fire.
“In any event, I lost respect for Milley when we walked together to St. John’s Church (which was still smoldering from a Radical Left fire set the day before), side by side, a walk that has now been proven to be totally appropriate—and the following day Milley choked like a dog in front of the Fake News when they told him they thought he should not have been walking with the President, which turned out to be incorrect,” the former commander-in-chief said. Trump then faulted Milley for his remarks at the time.
“I saw at that moment he had no courage or skill, certainly not the type of person I would be talking ‘coup’ with. I’m not into coups!” Trump wrote.”
The generals must have known how gutless Trump was and would not move outside the boundaries of conservatism to save the country from destruction.
Mind you, the civilian wing of the establishment is not any better, with the FBI acting like the KGB. It is good that law suits are being taken out against them.
“Hollywood actor, Siaka Massaquoi, a conservative black activist as well as entertainer, will file suit on July 15, 2021, in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, over an illegal unconstitutional raid by the FBI and its agents, as ordered by and at the direction of FBI Director Christopher Wray, as part and parcel to the bureau’s post January 6, 2021, round up of even peaceful protestors who were in Washington, D.C., in support of President Trump and a nation free from rank government corruption.
The complaint, which is being filed as a class action for all persons who were in the nation’s capital to peacefully protest, but who in the aftermath of January 6, 2021, have been rounded up, had their homes and businesses violated and broken into, their property such as cell phones and computers seized without probable cause, arrested, prosecuted, denied bail, or some even thrown into solitary confinement while awaiting trial, alleges the violation of First, Fifth, and Fourteenth constitutional rights by the defendants.
Larry Klayman, the chairman and general counsel of Freedom Watch, which represents Mr. Massaquoi, had this to say:
“The FBI, as alleged, is being used by the Biden-Harris Justice Department as the administration’s and the left’s ‘personal Gestapo,’ to stifle free speech and dissent over the near total leftist, socialist and borderline communist takeover of our body politic. And, FBI Director Wray bears personal legal responsibility and liability for these unconstitutional acts, which he has bragged about in public testimony before Congress — branding the peaceful protestors as mostly white domestic terrorists — in order to save his job with President Biden after he was blamed for not being prepared for and warning Congress and the incoming Biden administration over the so called ‘capitol riot.'”
The lead plaintiff, Mr. Massaquoi, was not arrested, and he never entered in the Capitol Building, but he had his home broken into at 5:45 am. He and his family and friends were handcuffed in front of children, denied right of counsel, and illegally questioned. To make matters worse, his cell phone and computers were seized, preventing him from carrying out his trade and profession and well as personal matters. The defendants have refused to return his property.
Mr. Massaquoi will be present at the press conference and will speak to the unconstitutional and illegal “Gestapo tactics” of the Defendants, for which they must be held to legally account. Mr. Klayman, a former U.S. Department of Justice prosecutor during the Reagan administration, will also speak.”
