The Flynn Entrapment A court filing shows the ugly tactics employed by James Comey’s FBI.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-flynn-entrapment-11544658915
Of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s many targets, the most tragic may be former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. The former three-star general pleaded guilty last year to a single count of lying to the FBI about conversations he had with Russia’s ambassador to the U.S. Now we learn from Mr. Flynn’s court filing to the sentencing judge that senior bureau officials acted in a way to set him up for the fall.

NSC = leakers. Can't exist in a functioning republic. Full stop.

Lt. Col. "Buzz" Patterson (FB): "For those who don't know, I was one of President Clinton's Military Aides (the Air Force guy) from 1996-1998 and facilitated many phone calls/communications between our president and other world leaders."
"People are discussing the insane leaks coming out of the Trump White House. Let me shine some light on how that process actually works. For those who don't know, I was one of President Clinton's Military Aides (the Air Force guy) from 1996-1998 and facilitated many phone calls/communications between our president and other world leaders.

So, the phone call is requested and placed through the White House switchboard. The coordinating party, could be an NSC staffer, the Military Aide or a member of another office, let's say Press Secretary. The NSC facilitates the call between all parties and world leaders. Once all of the "principals" are connected, there are White House staffers (normally NSC) assigned to listen, monitor and develop transcripts. In my time in the Clinton White House, I occasionally did that but there were ALWAYS NSC staffers listening and providing transcription.

Bottom Line: the leaks of confidential conversations are coming directly from the NSC. No possible way otherwise. Who runs the NSC? General McMaster. In the military, when people down the chain of command break the law, the fault lies at the top. Something's going on in the NSC designed to end the Trump presidency. The leaks are coming from the NSC. Do the math.

NSC = leakers. Can't exist in a functioning republic. Full stop."

Retired generals critical of Obama say “peaceful civil uprising not out of the question”

From Allen West 11/26/13:
We who have served in uniform took an oath, “to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and to bear true faith and allegiance to the same.”

Those who truly believe in and live this oath realize there is no statute of limitations on this commitment to our beloved Republic. True military servants will stand guard for America as long as there is breath in their lungs. While in uniform we know we must follow the orders of our superiors, as long as they do not violate any moral standard.

However, once out of uniform, we have more freedom to express our thoughts, perspectives, and insights. Towards that end, two retired U.S. generals, Army General Paul E. Vallely and Air Force Brigadier General Charles Jones, have created a citizens’ commission called America’s Provisional Leadership Council to scrutinize Obama administration actions on national security and economic issues.

The real reason CIA Director Petraeus just resigned

Breitbart:
Now that the Obama administration has succeeded in winning a second term, they are cleaning house. The two figures most linked to the disaster in Benghazi, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Petraeus, are gone. The figure most linked with Fast and Furious, Eric Holder, will be gone. The figure most linked to the administration’s economic failures, Secretary of the Treasury Tim Geithner, will be gone. Only Obama remains. He ran out the clock on his scandals, and now throws anyone associated with them overboard.
CIA Director Petraeus Resigns Over Affair

Sunday, October 28, 2012

Did General Ham get relieved of his command for attempting Benghazi rescue?

Was General Ham Relieved for Attempting Benghazi Rescue?
The information I heard today was that General Ham as head of Africom received the same e-mails the White House received requesting help/support as the attack was taking place. General Ham immediately had a rapid response unit ready and communicated to the Pentagon that he had a unit ready.

General Ham then received the order to stand down. His response was to screw it, he was going to help anyhow. Within 30 seconds to a minute after making the move to respond, his second in command apprehended General Ham and told him that he was now relieved of his command.

The story continues that now General Rodriguez would take General Ham’s place as the head of Africom.

I found this story when I got home after hearing this story. quote:
“President Barack Obama will nominate Army Gen. David Rodriguez to succeed Gen. Carter Ham as commander of U.S. Africa Command and Marine Lt. Gen. John Paxton to succeed Gen. Joseph Dunford as assistant commandant of the Marine Corps, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced.”

JSOC: TOP SECRET

The CIA’s armed drones and paramilitary forces have killed dozens of al-Qaeda leaders and thousands of its foot soldiers. But there is another mysterious organization that has killed even more of America’s enemies in the decade since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. CIA operatives have imprisoned and interrogated nearly 100 suspected terrorists in their former secret prisons around the world, but troops from this other secret organization have imprisoned and interrogated 10 times as many, holding them in jails that it alone controls in Iraq and Afghanistan.
‘Top Secret America’: A look at the military’s Joint Special Operations Command

Hugh Hewitt Show, Saturday, September 03, 2011:
General Jerry Boykin on Kiloton Threat, and disgraceful action at the Washington Post, releasing Special Operations secrets
HH: Now while that story unfolds, attention is going to be on a new book, and a new series in the Washington Post, Top Secret America: The Rise Of The New American Security State, by Dana Priest and a name I’m sure is familiar to you, William Arkin.

JB: Yeah.

HH: And it reveals operational secrets, General. What do you think of this? And what do you think of Arkin?

JB: Well, you know, I’ve had a lot of experience with Arkin. Arkin came after me, and Dana Priest has a record very similar to Arkin’s of exposing things that are very sensitive. Arkin, remember, he wrote the book Code Words. It exposed the code words of many, many very sensitive programs in our government, not just the Department of Defense. Arkin is not just anti-American, I mean anti-military, but he is very much anti-American. I think the guy is, frankly, I think he’s a hard-core Marxist. And if it was 1960, I think he’d be a leader in the Weather Underground. And Dana Priest has done similar kinds of things in exposing very sensitive programs. I can’t tell you what their agenda is other than they are very anti-American.

HH: Now I referred to Arkin earlier today as scum, because his record of attacking the military as mercenaries, and other attacks, not just on you, but I mean generally, he’s so anti-military and so anti-American, the Institute For Policy Studies, Greenpeace, he’s got this long lefty pedigree. What is the Washington Post doing, General, publishing this stuff. It’s not…there will be nutters and left wing extremists like Arkin out there. But why is the Washington Post aiding and abetting them?

JB: Well, I certainly can’t answer for the leadership of the Washington Post, but the Washington Post has a history of doing this, particularly with Dana Priest, who has been working with the Washington Post for a very long time. And I must tell you, I think this is an example of how the 1st Amendment was never intended to have an open press without some check and balance, without some accountability for what they do. And this is another example of how that can be very damaging to the nation.

HH: When a newspaper publishes the nicknames and the code names for some of the Special Operators, like Task Force Green, secret army in Northern Virginia, Task Force 11, Task Force 121, when they talk very specifically about where the new headquarters is, what the new operational command is, does that help the enemy?

JB: Of course it helps the enemy, and it also discourages the brave, young Americans that are playing by the rules, and taking some very high risks, and making a lot of sacrifices. It’s very discouraging to them, but it also encourages the enemy very much, because they see themselves being on the winning side, and they’re using our civil liberties against us. And it concerns me a great deal.

HH: Should we have released as much information as we did about the bin Laden mission?

JB: No, and it’s interesting. I was just talking to someone two days ago about that, and I will tell you that that was all a political ploy. You’re going to see a movie about it come out the 1st of October. The producers and so forth have been integrated into a number of things now with the administration. And I must tell you, this whole thing is political. It is trying to build the credibility of this president as the commander-in-chief, and as a substantial leader. And I think that it is disgraceful, because you never heard who got Saddam Hussein. You heard the 4th Infantry Division. Well, I happen to know that embedded in there, the people that really got him, was a Special Operations element. But nobody talked about who that was. There was no fanfare on that. But that wasn’t used for political purposes.

HH: I will be right back. One more segment with General, retired General William G. Jerry Boykin.

BATTLE FOR AMERICA: THE MOVIE

Citizens United Productions Presents:
A call to action by Dick Morris to take back our country, "Battle for America" is a searing look at the ongoing conflict between "Constitutional Conservatives" and an out-of-touch, arrogant, and ever-expanding central government. This film stars Ann Coulter, Lou Dobbs, Fred Barnes, Arthur Brooks, Newt Gingrich, Tony Blankley, Mike Flynn, Eric Singer, U.S. Representatives Thaddeus McCotter, Sue Myrick, and Dan Lungren, and U.S. Senators Christopher Bond and Tom Coburn. This controversial documentary goes beyond today's headlines to provide a comprehensive look at how the Obama Administration and the Democratic majority in Congress have failed the American people.

"Battle for America" is a no-holds-barred examination of an Administration and Congress that set out to "transform" America but ended up reenergizing grassroots Conservatives and lighting the fuse for a populist rebellion called "The Tea Party" movement. More than an indictment against the elitist governing class, this film's inspiring message is also a call-to-action for every citizen to take back our country and return it to its core principles based upon a limited federal government.

Produced in the style of "Generation Zero" and "Fire from the Heartland", this film is the third in a series to look at America at the crossroads of one of the most consequential and dangerous times in her history. "Battle for America" will leave you energized for the seminal fight to save our beloved country.
Watch the trailer!

Andrew Jackson: 3/25/1835

"Old Hickory."

During the Revolution, young Andrew Jackson refused to polish the boots of a British officer and was slashed on the arm with a sword and jailed. His mother died of prison fever while caring for captured American soldiers. Jackson carried a bullet in his body from a duel defending his wife's honor.

In the War of 1812, General Andrew Jackson defeated over 2,000 British in the Battle of New Orleans. On January 30, 1835, President Andrew Jackson survived an assassination attempt when Richard Lawrence fired two pistols at him at point blank range. Davy Crockett, who was with the President, disarmed the assailant.

On MARCH 25, 1835, Andrew Jackson wrote in a letter: "I was brought up a rigid Presbyterian, to which I have always adhered. Our excellent Constitution guarantees to every one freedom of religion, and charity tells us (and you know Charity is the real basis of all true religion)..judge the tree by its fruit. All who profess Christianity believe in a Saviour, and that by and through Him we must be saved." Andrew Jackson concluded: "We ought, therefore, to consider all good Christians whose walks correspond with their professions, be they Presbyterian, Episcopalian, Baptist, Methodist or Roman Catholic."

The Texas Declaration of Independence: 3/2/1836

The Alamo mission at San Antonio was in its 7th day of being assaulted by thousands of Santa Anna's troops. By the 13th day, Santa Anna's "take-no-prisoner" policy had all 189 defenders killed, including Jim Bowie and former U.S Congressman Davy Crockett. The only Texas army left in the field was Col. James Fannin's. It departed Goliad to rescue the Alamo but was surrounded in open ground and captured. Santa Anna ordered all 350 prisoners executed. When the Mexican officer hesitated, Santa Anna sent another officer who carried out the order. Had Fannin's troops been left in prison, Texas would have been disheartened, but instead Santa Anna's cruelty aroused world outrage.

The Texas Declaration of Independence, signed MARCH 2, 1836, stated: "General Antonio Lopez Santa Anna...demanded us to deliver up our arms, which are essential to our defense-the rightful property of freemen-and formidable only to tyrannical governments...has, through its emissaries, incited the merciless savage, with the tomahawk and scalping knife, to massacre the inhabitants of our defenseless frontiers...We fearlessly...commit the issue to the...Supreme Arbiter of the destinies of nations."

The Alamo: 2/24/1836

"Remember the Alamo!" The battle began FEBRUARY 24, 1836, when General Santa Anna's 3,000 troops attacked 189 Texans and Tejanos at San Antonio.

In 13 days, all defenders were dead, including William Travis, Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie. Only Susanna Dickenson, her baby, and Travis' servant survived.

Fifteen years earlier, Mexico won independence from Spain and set up a democratic Federal Constitution. In 1833, Santa Anna rejected the Constitution, became dictator and suppressed Mexican Federal States which rebelled: San Luis Potosí, Querétaro, Durango, Guanajuato, Michoacán, Yucatán and Jalisco. In Zacatecas, Santa Anna defeated Francisco Garcia, took 3,000 prisoners and let his army ransack the city 48 hours.

Mexican Federal General José Antonio Mexía marched from New Orleans to Tampico to fight Santa Anna, but was defeated. Santa Anna executed every prisoner.

The Texas Declaration of Independence stated "General Antonio Lopez Santa Anna...having overturned the constitution of his country, now offers, as the cruel alternative, either abandon our homes...or submit to the most intolerable of all tyranny...He denies us the right of worshipping the Almighty according to the dictates of our own conscience."

The challenge now for Obama is to get up off of his lazy ass and make a decision. The time for waffling is over.

Yes. Short answer. The leak to the Washington Post of the assessment by General McChrystal, the officer in charge of the war in Afghanistan, is quintessential Washington power politics and a major “go screw yourself Barack” by the person or persons who passed the paper to Bob Woodward. You do not get leaks when there is a policy consensus on an issue. There are several reasons classified or sensitive information is leaked–a policy disagreement, a desire to embarrass a principle official or a whistleblower.

Here’s how Woodward started his story:
Will Obama Surrender Afghanistan to the Mullahs?

Washington Post dispels Shinseki myths...finally!

It's about time! Just wish the Democrats that acosted me with these things during the last four years would actually see and read this article.

Letter to the editor: Which side are you on?

I was just re-reading a letter that a friend had written to The Daily News (Los Angeles) on 12-27-06 entitled "Make Up Your Mind."

Here it is, with timeless advice for any generation:
Re: "Two wars, yet two hopes for peace" (Their Opinions, Dec. 25):

Rich Lowry quotes a Dec. 23, 1944, prayer: "Sir, this is (Gen. George) Patton talking. ... You have just got to make up your mind whose side you're on." The next day I was crossing the English Channel with the 66th Black Panther Infantry Division when one of our ships was hit by a German torpedo and more than 800 lives were lost.

I landed in Cherbourg on Christmas Day expecting to get into the Battle of the Bulge, but luckily for our division that did not happen. Unfortunately, there were approximately 80,000 casualties in that one battle among troops who were not as lucky. We are now in the most important war in our history, a war against an evil enemy whose goal is to kill all "infidels." The time has arrived when the media, politicians and the rest of us must decide whose side we are on.
