Mark Milley admits treason!

Gen. Mark Milley just admitted to treason while he attempts to gaslight us into believing it is somehow "normal" to undermine and backstab the Commander in Chief.

Milley Responds, Claims Usurping Presidential Power To Give Enemy Advance Notice Just Part Of 'Regular Communications'

Update (1245ET): As the backlash from Woodward's expose of General Milley's apparently treasonous actions grows, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs has issued a damage control statement (h/t @JoshRogin) (emphasis ours)

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs regularly communicates with Chiefs of Defense across the world, including with China and Russia.

These conversations remain vital to improving mutual understanding of U.S. national security interests, reducing tensions, providing clarity and avoiding unintended consequences or conflict.

His calls with the Chinese and others in October and January were in keeping with these duties and responsibilities conveying reassurance in order to maintain strategic stability.

All calls from the Chairman to his counterparts, including those reported, are staffed, coordinated and communicated with the Department of Defense and the interagency.

Also in keeping with his responsibilities as senior military advisor to the President and Secretary of Defense, General Milley frequently conducts meetings with uniformed leaders across the Services to ensure all leaders are aware of current issues.

The meeting regarding nuclear weapons protocols was to remind uniformed leaders in the Pentagon of the long-established and robust procedures in light of media reporting on the subject.

Even Col. Vindman, the Army Colonel who testified against President Trump, said that Milley should resign.

Here’s a question for doubters as to whether Milley’s discussions with China without the President’s knowledge was a problem: 

If Milley’s discussions with China were “regular” or “routine”, why did Woodward and Costas highlight such actions in their book?

In fact, as reported by Zero Hedge, Christopher Miller said

“…he as secretary of defense, did not and would not ever authorize" the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to hold "secret" conversations with the Chinese defense chief.  In a statement to Fox News, Miller said the alleged calls were a "disgraceful and unprecedented act of insubordination."

There are now and should be more growing demands not only for Milley’s firing, but for his court-martial as well.

If the above statement truly reflects the modus operendi of the General Staff of the US military, that certainly does explain why the US has not won a war in 76 years.

Punishment for treason in the US

“Like all other federal crimes, the Federal Sentencing Guidelines apply to treason.

“Under those guidelines, depending on the facts, punishment for treason in the US include:

• Imprisonment for not less than five years,
• The death penalty
• A fine of not less than $10,000”

[From Treason in the US - A Federal Crime - Gilles Law, PLLC]

However, treason, like any crime, is a pardonable offense.  There is little doubt that if Milley was convicted, Biden would pardon this poor excuse of a General.

Does anyone else besides me believe that China has bought off the deep state?

Gen. Mark Milley: One significant reason the US has not won a war since WWII…

Many news articles and commentaries of the past decade have posed the question:  Why doesn’t the US win wars anymore – not in 76 years?

[Thanks to The Trumpet magazine and website for the above compilation]

I hereby nominate General Mark Milley as the Poster Child representing one of the major reasons the US has not won a war in 76 years. 

I submit the following justification for this well-earned nomination:

Milley attended a number of liberal universities to garner his liberal degrees in such things as “Revolutionary Guerilla Organization in Theory and Practice”, “International Relations” and “International Studies.” His record does NOT indicated he either attended or graduated from West Point.

Milley graduated from Princeton University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in politics in 1980 after completing a 185-page-long senior thesis titled "A Critical Analysis of Revolutionary Guerrilla Organization in Theory and Practice".^[7] Milley also holds a Master of Arts degree in international relations from Columbia University and another Master of Arts degree in national security and strategic studies from the Naval War College.^[8] He is also an attendee of the MIT Center for International Studies Seminar XXI National Security Studies Program.^[9]

[Mark Milley – Wikipedia]

What he lacks is an understanding of the US Constitution, our history, and the reasons why we used to win wars.

Later in his woke career he led a committee reporting on “the country’s near-term impacts from climate change warning that we will suffer a “total collapse…in 20 years.”

After Milley was nominated, he headed a commission with other American military officials that were responsible for designing a report on the country's impending near-term impacts from climate change. The report, which was released in August 2019, stated that the country and its military would experience a total collapse within the next two decades due to collapses in the country's aging power grid and food supply, as well as the increased risk of infectious disease outbreaks globally.

[Mark Milley – Wikipedia]

Next on his agenda was playing the role of socialist provocateur by lecturing a Florida Congressman on why he believes Critical Race Theory (a Communist-inspired means of creating racial discord) is critically important to the US military.

On June 23, 2021, Milley attracted notice for telling Florida Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz that he found it "offensive" that the U.S. military was being characterized as "woke" for including "critical race theory" in its West Point curriculum; "I want to understand white rage - and I'm white. What is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the Constitution of the United States of America?" he added.^{[68][69][70][71]}

[Mark Milley – Wikipedia]

Milley has been heavily criticized by many in the media and by both parties in Congress for his role in planning the haphazard and irresponsible withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan. 

Afghanistan Crisis: Milley and Austin Should Resign | National Review

Of note is Milley was the architect of President Trumps talks with the Taliban and announcing a proposed withdrawal in May, only months later suggesting to President Biden that it would be a mistake to leave Afghanistan.  He was later criticized for making contradictory recommendations to two successive administrations.

Milley was also the architect of then-President Donald Trump's future peace talks with Taliban that would be held at Camp David.^[95][96] However following the new administration of President Joe Biden, Milley appeared to suggest that it would be a mistake to leave Afghanistan and that doing so could lead to Taliban take-over, casting doubt on how the Taliban and the Afghan government under President Ashraf Ghani could unite.^[96][92] An opinion article on The New York Post criticized Milley for making a contrary decision during two different administrations, supporting peace talks with the Taliban during one administration and later opposing them in another.^[92][96]

[Mark Milley – Wikipedia]

During our Afghanistan withdrawal, Milley failed to provide accurate information to the National Security Council that resulted in the suicide bombing killing 19 US servicemen and women.

Milley was blamed for being incompetent and failed to provide accurate advise and information to the National Security Council regarding the current situation in Afghanistan that resulted to the bombing incident at Kabul International Airport.^{[98][101][100][105]} Some even compared the incident with the 1993 incident at Mogadishu, Somalia which resulted in the death of 19 United States service members.^{[105][100][98]}

[Mark Milley – Wikipedia]

The capstone of Milley’s nomination for Poster Child is his treasonous and seditious back-stabbing of President Trump telling military officials not to take orders from the President after the Capitol riot.  He further played “Secretary of State” by using back channels to discuss national affairs with China during that period.

Joint Chiefs Chairman Army Gen. Mark Milley single-handedly took top-secret action to preempt then-President Donald Trump from ordering a military strike or launching nuclear weapons, according to a new book.

Milley was worried that after the January 6 Capitol breach, Trump could “go rogue” and called a secret meeting on January 8 with senior military leaders.

During that meeting, Milley instructed senior military officials in charge of the National Military Command Center to not take orders from anyone unless he was involved, according to a write-up of the book by CNN.

[Report: Milley Told Military Officials Not to Take Orders After Capitol Riot (breitbart.com)]

Is this the definition of treason? Milley to his counterpart in China: 

“General Li [a Chinese General], you and I have known each other for now five years. If we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time. It’s not going to be a surprise.”

Quote of book “Peril” by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa via MSN

Did he say the same to the Taliban leaders in the months leading to our withdrawal?

I had a difficult time whether the word “Treason” superimposed on Milley’s image at the top of this blog should end with “???” or “!!!”. Woodward and Costa confirm Milley’s actions; Pentagon officials deny them. Which do you believe?

Is there any wonder why the US has not won a war in 76 years with military “leaders” like Milley at the top of the ranks?

It’s fascinating how names reflect a person’s predisposition, career choice, and behaviors.  Here are several examples:

• Lorena and John Bobbitt.  Yes, you remember.
• Former US Treasury Secretary, Kash Karry
• Now we have Millie, which trips along the tongue with Willey Nilley which means 'in an unplanned, haphazard fashion'.

Thus we have Willy Nillie Millie.

Willy-nilly' - meaning and origin. What's the meaning of the phrase 'Willy-nilly'? This term has two, slightly differing, but related meanings: 'whether it is with or against your will' and 'in an unplanned, haphazard fashion'. We tend to use the latter of these meanings today; the former was the accepted meaning when the term was first coined.

My wife says this is a stretch.  But obviously it is close enough for government work.

Saul Alinsky’s piling on of squirrels…

The news cycle reminds me of my dog when she sees a squirrel…

She’s out to do her business, but when a squirrel catches her eye, she forgets all about it.  Squirrel!!!!  Dash, yank.  She gets whiplash from her  latest distraction.

The same thing happens to those who observe the media – whiplash from the news cycle’s “squirrel syndrome.”  Every 24 hours we’re subject to a new squirrel.

A few days ago the Biden Afghanistan withdrawal fiasco was the headline.  Some even reported that our ill-conceived pullout was more treason than incompetence. That perception is definitely worth a follow-up. Was it treason?  Quite likely because how can so many top advisors all be so incompetent at the same time?

But before we have time to grasp and understand – never mind addressing that fiasco - we have a new squirrel. 

This time its the Biden COVID jab mandate.  The employees of companies with one hundred or more workers must either take the jab or be tested for COVID weekly – or else.  The “or else” is a $14,000 fine per individual enforced by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). While this requirement is as likely to be  as unconstitutional as the Biden Afghan pullout was treasonous, many companies will abide because they believe they must.  And in a day or two this, too, will be forgotten and will be replaced by another distracting Biden squirrel.

These squirrels are a version of Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals.” The Biden handlers are following those rules to a “T”. 

Here are several of the “Rules” that the Biden administration especially applied to the two most recent events, the Afghanistan pullout and the COVID jab requirements.  The “enemy” referred to are US citizens who are law-abiding patriots wanting to do the right thing.

Rule 1:  “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.”  Many among us believe we must follow illegal or unconstitutional rules because we believe the government has the power when oftentimes they don’t.  Example:  The illegally mandated COVID jab.  Or they may have the “power” but their use of that power many be foolish and unwise. Example: Botched withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Rule 3: “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” Most among us follow the “rules” because we don’t have the expertise (or the resources) to  believe or do otherwise.

Rule 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”  Most of us have self-imposed rules that tell us to obey government no matter what. Our ill-conceived ‘rules of engagement’ in Afghanistan is an example that handcuffed our troops and resulted in our nation’s failure there.  Applied at home, our own personal rules for behavior handcuff our actions and put us at a disadvantage when confronting our federal government. Biden’s and the left’s not so secret motto:  “Rules are for other people.”

Rule 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep the distracting squirrels coming.  Another one every news cycle. That is exactly what Joe is doing.

Rule 9: “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Regarding Afghanistan, remaining in Afghanistan was portrayed as being more ‘terrifying’ than the catastrophic, ill-planned pullout – in spite of the destructive consequences of our withdrawal.  Regarding the vaccine mandate, not having the jab is portrayed as more terrifying than our loss of freedoms.

In reality, all twelve of Alinsky’s rules are practiced by the communist-inspired Biden administration.   And they will keep their “squirrels” coming.

US Achilles heels: A description of the many…

“An Achilles' heel^[1][2] is a weakness in spite of overall strength, which can lead to downfall.”                                                                                                                           Wikipedia

The United States is unique among nations for a number of reasons:

• Our open borders
• Our tolerance (and ignorance) of ideologies that promote our nation’s transformation and demise, notably Communism and Islam
• Our advanced and widespread dependency on electronics-dependent defenses, communications, commerce and trade
• Our vulnerable nationwide electric grid

Each of the above points represent severe US vulnerabilities. They are “severe” because they, for the most part, are not being addressed.

We don’t vet the great majority of illegal immigrants crossing our southern border. Sure, there is likely some number of  “innocents” from Central and South America that the bleeding heart national media and churches use to justify open borders. But we don’t know how many among the 200,000 illegals per month are cartel and violent gang members, drug mules, human trafficker's, or Islamic jihadis.

Our Federal government employs Muslims and Communists of unknown allegiance at all levels.  We stripped training in Islamic doctrine from our military and intelligence agencies.  We shrink at the thought of “see something – say something” when a Muslim engages in questionable activity for fear of being called an Islamophobe. We have learned little from 9-11.

There is a growing “Red-Green Alliance” between political Islam and the radical left (including Communists, Antifa, BLM) in the US.  This partnership is recognized by numerous non-governmental groups studying terrorism, one such group being “Start – National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism.”

And now Afghanistan is a more potent Islamist jihadi terror-spreading hotbed than it was twenty years ago, thanks to the billions worth of armaments we left to our new favorite protector of US interests:  The Taliban.  Biden and his corrupted advisors relied on the Taliban for airport security and to clear a path for US citizens and supporters to enter the airport.

The memo our government has not received:  The Taliban has the same west-hating ideology as ISIS and al Qaeda.  All three groups and their countless “affiliates” practice the doctrines of pure Islam.

The Taliban is now holding US citizens, Afghan allies, and their six chartered aircraft hostage in hopes of major US concessions.

No.  There is no “moderate Taliban.”  There is no “moderate Islam”.  There is no “radical Islam.”  Islam is Islam.  Islam preaches hate of the infidel, the West, and especially US culture and Israeli existence.  Islam’s avowed purpose is to dominate all other groups and make them subservient to Islam.

The majority of the 3.5 million known Muslims in the US are likely to join other groups (BLM, Communists, Antifa) in spreading mayhem at the least provocation (e.g. police shooting) or sign of US weakness. Former Muslim president Obama demonstrated this likelihood with his own words:  “I will stand with  ‘them’  should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” Here he referred to Pakistani’s and Arab-Americans.  And which ideology occupies 95% of Pakistan and the Arab nations?  Islam.  The majority of Muslims will do the same as that which Obama said he would do.

Oh, and we’re immigrating 10’s of thousand of unvetted Afghani (and possibly Pakistani and Iranian) Muslims into cities and towns across our nation.

If I believed in conspiracy theories, I’d believe the current administration is attempting to destroy our nation.

Now add the vulnerabilities of our open borders, our failure to vet immigrants, our failure to acknowledge the pure Islamic faith widely practiced by the great majority of Muslims, and their alliance with the radical left to our next Achilles heel:  Our nation’s total reliance on electronics for defense, communications, commerce and trade and our unprotected and vulnerable electric grid.

The US is extremely vulnerable to asymmetric warfare. Our tepid, self-imposed “rules of engagement” and abysmal performance in Afghanistan prove this point.

Peter Vincent Pry has written extensively on the the topic of the potential for attacks on our electric grid and electronics infrastructure.  His latest  book, published in 2021 is “Blackout Warfare”. Highly recommended reading.

In it he describes the vulnerability of our nation’s heavy reliance on high tech and electronics to attack from a variety of electromagnetic pulse and nuclear weapons.  Most such weapons are within the capability of not only Russia and China, but Iran, North Korea and Islamic terror groups such as al Qaeda, ISIS, and the Taliban.

Here are several of the “benefits” of an electromagnetic pulse attacks on a nation:

• It is asymmetric.  It can cause thousands of times more damage than the cost of the weapon and means of delivery.
• It is stealthy in its delivery.  We would not see it coming.
• It is stealthy in the mark it leaves.  It doesn’t leave fingerprints like a conventional or nuke attack would so the perpetrator can remain anonymous.
• It destroys power, communications, and any banking, trade or commerce conducted online.
• It is within the capability of second world nations and rogue groups.
• It is not considered an “act of war” if minor in nature by the international community. The definition of ‘minor’ is debatable.
• It does not directly kill people. It kills infrastructure.  Mass casualties may occur weeks or months later as a result of lack of infrastructure.
• The highest tech nation, the US, is not prepared for it.

Release of an atomic device 30 to 200 miles above the US will destroy our grid and fry electronic components.  Great accuracy of the missile delivery system is not required.  Such attack will create civil mayhem, neuter our military response, and is expected to result in the death of 90% of our population with a year of such attack.  The source may never be known for certain, even if we were capable of a counter-strike.

Try Googling the words “electromagnetic pulse” or “EMP weapons" for a few eye-openers.

Even attacks against just nine key major transformer substations by embedded terror cells using readily available non-nuclear electromagnetic pulse weapons could do similar damage.

Such attacks, whether regional or nationwide have the ability to cripple the US for months or years and at the very least drain our economy of trillions of dollars in lost productivity and recovery.

Do you find these vulnerabilities hard to believe?  Think again.

The Generals Lied to us for 20 + years…

Events in Afghanistan over the past several weeks have confirmed this fact:

The Generals Lied to us for 20 + years!

This fact cannot be denied. The results in Afghanistan should confirm this fact in the heart and mind of every American.  But the generals did not want to hear it.  Nope. Especially when President Trump made a ham-handed attempt of reminding them of  the fact that our military hadn’t won any war in 75 years when he spoke to the Joint Chiefs of Staff.  But instead, the spoiled rotten “children” of the Pentagon turned on him. 

But here is the question: 

Turning points…

The “Threat Journal” website posed a “turning point” that led to the failure of Afghan forces against the Taliban.

Here is their article, below, with the REAL turning points below that:

Departure of Private Contractors Was a Turning Point in Afghan Military’s Collapse ~ Threat Journal

AUGUST 18, 2021

Military analysts trying to understand the stunning collapse of the Afghan military are increasingly pointing to the departure of U.S. government contractors starting a month ago as one of the key turning points.

The Afghans had relied on contractors for everything from training and gear maintenance to preparing them for intelligence gathering and close air support in their battles against Taliban fighters.

Thousands of those contractors—often military veterans who work for private security firms—left Afghanistan weeks ago and deployed elsewhere in the region or in the Persian Gulf.

Now for the REAL turning points:

Biden and military lies and deception are legion

Joe "Hide'n" Biden practices the Islamic doctrine of taqiyya (purposeful deception to further an objective) in spite of his alleged Catholic religion.

Unfortunately, the Islamic purpose of their deception is more "noble" than Biden's.  Theirs is to further their own "religion" (which is primarily a militant political ideology.)  Biden's purpose is to further the conversion of our constitutional republic into a communist system while enriching his corrupt family. Muslims use their deception against their enemies.  Biden, (and many among our military flag officers - and the deep state generally) use their deception against the American people and to assist our sworn enemies.

To bolster this point, here is a partial list of the many Biden lies related to his Afghanistan withdrawal fiasco:
