Shock claim: Obama only wants military leaders who 'will fire on U.S. citizens'
Examiner ^ | January 21, 2013 | Dave Gibson

Posted on 01/24/2013 1:41:34 PM PST by JenB987

On Monday, renowned author and humanitarian Dr. Jim Garrow made a shocking claim about what we can expect to see in Obama's second term. Garrow made the following Facebook post: I have just been informed by a former senior military leader that Obama is using a new “litmus test” in determining who will stay and who must go in his military leaders. Get ready to explode folks. “The new litmus test of leadership in the military is if they will fire on US citizens or not.” Those who will not are being removed. So, who is the source? Garrow replied: “The man who told me this is one of America’s foremost military heroes.”

Garrow replied: “The man who told me this is one of America’s foremost military heroes.”

I'd think the term "hero" would be debatable considering the source chooses to remain anonymous.

if he ‘comes out’ he’ll still be known as a hero...

until he’s known as the mentally unstable man that jumped in front of the metro

I saw the interview with this gentleman (not the officer; Mr. Garrow). VERY credible; was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize just a few years ago. He lives in China and, so far, has managed to save 45,000 baby girls who otherwise would have been killed.

He said he has known this officer (general) for 17 years, that he is a “household name”; a recognized military hero. He had his reasons for not coming forth yet.....frankly he’s a bit technology challenged and wanted his friend, Garrow...who is very Internet savvy....to start this, to make it viral.

They had talked about this for well over an hour by phone, and much more. It was bone chilling to hear, frankly.

Well we know he is not Petrayus, as he can use E-mail...

I guess I can understand that. But I believe the impact of such a story and accusation will go absolutely nowhere until the source comes forward. A story of such magnitude would cry out for a hero to expose it to the light of day.

Agreed. Until someone actually comes forward, it is no different than the stuff on Alex Jones’s website.

Senior Generals might agree to it but what about the rest? After all, senior Generals are mostly political – if they want to be promoted.

Generals can issue all of the orders they want but whether or not they would ever have enough of the on the line officers and troops who would follow is another thing.

For very many of the line shooters it would be their own families and friends they would be firing on. Those who would agree to pull a trigger would be the more likely to be fired on.

It is legal for generals to lie to a traitor.

Fair enough, I only want military leaders that will fire on Obama.

We need names and proof. If this is true, more people should be willing to come out and back up the allegations.

We need more than the word of a Nobel Peace Prize nominee. Heck, Obama is a Nobel Peace Prize winner. Give me facts, not allegations.

This will sound tin-foil-hattish.....and there was a time I would have laughed at it, but no longer.

They also made it clear that there have been others before who were going to go public and met “accidents” or “suicides”. Numerous. High profile ones....including a CIA director, an admiral.....so yeah, the guy feels his life is at stake.

He could very well be right.

Right. Too many people think our military are automatons, blindly obeying all orders.

And troops attacked WWI Bonus Army veterans when ordered to do so. Too many in here are under the illusion that our military would disobey orders to fire on US civilians.
