As has been attributed to Henry Kissinger, just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not following you, or that a coup is not in the works.

‘Cause he is 19 years old, and just entered the Army? Naïve?

As a Platoon Leader, I was told "everything my unit did, or failed to do, was my responsibility. It appears that our perfumed princes in the Obama/Hagel Pentagon do not live by that credo.

The old d@mned if you do, d@mned if you don't iron fist of authority, selectively enforced.

My suspicion is that a good number of these firings are of ethically-challenged yes men who have had their hands in cookie jars (or cookies) from early on in their careers, but they nonetheless moved up the ranks because "nobody saw a thing".

Yet, these types were too ignorant to know that they were being monitored and groomed for future usefulness as expendable dum@sses - useful idiot placeholders for those who proved to be much more debased (downright malevolent and cunning, i.e. not content with mere personal enrichment and physical satisfaction).

Easy for the PTB to suddenly be "Shocked, shocked!" that adultery, bribery, abuse of authority and what-have-you was standard behavior for the corrupt officers.

More to the point, it would be useful to have a supply of these arrogant Captain Schettinos (Costa Condordia reference) to heave overboard as cover for the purging of 1) the "see no evil" types who finally opened their eyes to the evil (some tossed overboard in their own cement seabag of sins), and 2) the uncorrupted, God-fearing, Constitition-honoring officers who managed to sneak through the cracks without selling their souls to beast.mil.

Marine Corps. Naïve? Possibly. Or maybe having to pledge to shoot Americans so deeply offended his conscience that he simply had to talk it out?

Talking about it with one who had a valid Top Security Clearance back when that actually meant something, may have seemed a safe bet.

"I am increasingly of the opinion that only intervention by the military can save us from the ongoing “Third World” coup."

Or masses of patriots with rifles. I honestly cannot fathom why people continue to rely on any box but the ammo box after the long train of abuses perpetrated by the participants of this communist coup.

Ya know, it’s plausible, but really wouldn’t be the way to go about it — trumping up charges.

But this is the way the Clintons did it with the White House Travel Office. They could have simply said "Thank you, but we want a different group here." They had that authority, and it would have been no reflection on the people fired. But no, they trumped up charges that eventually were disproven. They lied even when it wasn't necessary. Obma seems to be doing the same thing.

Remember, once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, and three times is enemy action. We're well past the third time.

All the Patriots are being fired, under the litmus test question:
“Would you order your troops to fire on Americans?”

Ergo, I admit the following public statement, NSA be darned:

The once, and past ‘street cop on the beat Officer O’Malley’, that once talked to everyone he saw, all the shop owners on his beat, and all the children in his respective ‘neighborhood’; has transmogrified to a jackbooted, bald-headed thug, with visions of grandeur for those who have not seen combat, and with the all-powerful, I’ll huff and I’ll puff and blow you away syndrome, thanks to the militarization and osmosis by the federal government.

The Military Commission Act of 2006 made every and all Americans, present and future, immediate suspects, as stated within that act.

A totalitarian, emulating a President, was elected. Until recently, there has always been the idea, that the U.S. military was never, never, to take up arms against American civilians.

It has done so in the past, after WW1. Veterans were camped out in Washington, D.C., in regards to better treatment and rights. The sitting President ordered that the U.S. Army remove those folks, forcibly, and did so, under the command of one Douglas MacArthur.

With the present political environment, of a sitting president, thinking and acting as not an elected President, but a ruler with the attitude of “Divine Ascension”. With a sitting President owning such a mental attude, it should be abundantly clear, that he would order violence against innocent Americans, through unleashing the military’s might and technology upon them, for the merest supposed slighting.

Why else would such a question as :
“Would you fire upon Americans”, as the test of retention of military commanders.

Henry Kissinger at the Bilderberger Conference, Evians, France, 1991

“Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government.”

I would think that the "foreign or domestic" clause would cover this contingency.

Fascinating how this ensuing thread initiated by Post #13, Daveinyork, winds its way through the collective conscious with Post # 92, MacNaughton, providing the esoteric source in uncovering such uncanny revelation perfectly summed up by Post # 93 PeterPrinciple.

If we survive Obama and we end up with a decent president, can he replace the retired officers if he wishes? Has that ever been done?
