Amen, amen and amen.
In the aftermath JFK’s murder, almost every one who knew anything about the circumstances was dead by violence (a few exceptions of course). The spoiler follows: The authors posit that VP LBJ orchestrated the whole thing and managed the suppression of info afterwords. They called it a coup. I am not doing the book justice, but I have to be brief.
For my own part (from age 13 years), I never thought the Warren Commission Report was anything but a crock. I believe the book. And today’s federal government is very little different.
LMAO....
We are talking about a general coup with large amounts of regular people resisting an unconstitutional government....the people that should have been killed at Kent State were the guys in the colored hats and tee shirts standing back and speaking into walky talkies who were goading their “sheep” forward. Also we are talking of 4 killed and 9 injured at Kent State....a very large scale revolt/civil war is another issue!

You’re speaking of a revolt or rebellion, not a coup d’etat. They are two entirely different things, though the end result may be similar. Oswaldo Lopez Arellano’s military takeover of Honduras in 1972 was a coup; Mao’s takeover of China was not.
“In contrast to a revolution, a coup d’état, or coup, does not involve a mass uprising.” Dictionary.com
Not being contentions, I just want to be sure we’re on the same page.
bkmk
It could be argued that the Coup has already taken place.
Donald Trump is merely the face of the Junta that are the three generals serving as close advisors to the President. One popularly known as Mad Dog, holds de facto control over the military.
Yep.
I'd describe as complete, unmitigated fanciful bull$hit.
Military personnel take an oath to the Constitution of the United States. There's a reference to "lawful orders" that I took seriously as a junior officer, particularly when a superior skirted the boundaries of a "lawful order".
I had never thought of making it a career, so I had no problem questioning those orders. Yeah, it got me in hot water a few times, but it was worth it.
I am completely confident that the current officer corps would stop a coup before it had a chance to get off the ground.
