President Donald Trump, speaking to a huge crowd in Wisconsin Thursday night, reiterated that he is pulling U.S. troops out of Afghanistan, Iraq and (in part) Syria. He asserted that our weapons are “meant to keep us out of wars,” not to fight them. It is not clear in the least that Secretaries Pompeo and Esper concur with that assessment — nor that they will follow his orders. The open military coup being promoted by flag grade officers, as identified in the explosive presentation by former Chief of the Pentagon’s Criminal Law Division Col. Richard Black (ret.) at the Sept. 5 Schiller Institute conference, is a result of the rage within the military- industrial complex at Trump’s desire for peace — especially his repeated assertion that “it is a good thing, not a bad thing, to be friends with Russia,” a belief that he held with China as well until recently.
Look at how the Pentagon is conducting its operations, keeping in mind that Trump on Labor Day told the press: “I’m not saying the military’s in love with me — the soldiers are, the top people in the Pentagon probably aren’t, because they want to do nothing but fight wars so that all of those wonderful companies that make the bombs and make the planes and make everything else stay happy” — the most honest thing that has been said by a President about leading factions in the Pentagon since President Eisenhpower identified the danger of the “military-industrial complex” in 1961. Consider the following:
• NATO announced Sept. 17 a new “Command,” the Atlantic Command, headed by Adm. Andrew Lewis, also head of the U.S. 2nd Fleet, to “ensure crucial routes for reinforcements and supplies from North America to Europe” — yet another preparation for a war with Russia. Adm. Lewis, to prove the point, is heading an anti-submarine exercise in the North Atlantic today with assault ships, guided-missile destroyers, two fast attack nuclear submarines, and aircraft.
“We’ve got to maintain our positional advantage over ... the undersea capability of the Russians,” Lewis said.
• Adm. Charles Richard, Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, told the Senate yesterday that “it is important for the nation to maintain an ability to do a nuclear test should an issue arise.”
• U.S. Pacific Command chief Adm. Phil Davidson told the Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance on Sept. 17 that the U.S. must rapidly provide both massive new missile defense capacities to Guam, to protect the “billions of dollars in defense capability” based there, but also massive offensive missile capacity: “China has a profound advantage in ballistic missiles against the United States, and a profound advantage in ground-launched cruise missiles. We have to get into that offensive force game as well.”
That is all in one day. Is it a “game,” as the Admiral claims? The Russians and the Chinese no longer believe this is business as usual, but that they are both facing invasion — and are taking the necessary measures to prepare for that invasion. Pompeo sent his Undersecretary Keith Krach to Taiwan to attend the memorial for Lee Teng-hui, the father of the Taiwan independence movement, a serious breach of the One China policy which has been the bedrock of peace in Asia since the Vietnam War. The PLA responded with a massive military exercise in the Taiwan Strait today, with headlines in the Chinese press calling it a “rehearsal for Taiwan takeover,” and stating “PLA starts real combat-oriented drills in Taiwan Strait.” They do not view the Pentagon’s intention as “containment” only, but as a mobilization for attack. While China will not attack any foreign nation, they will strenuously defend their own nation.
Meanwhile, in Moscow, Minister of Defense Gen. Sergei Shoigu said that while the military-political situation in the Western strategic sector remained tense, Russia would also dramatically build up the Eastern Military District, to “neutralize emerging threats,” while also “developing the Northern Fleet to strengthen the state’s defense capability and ensure Russia’s national interests in the Arctic.”
The war drums are sounding. In the age of thermonuclear weapons, do the madmen believe they could “win” a war against Russia and China? To what end? To preserve “our way of life” and “our values,” as they often pronounce? Is “our way of life” defined by insurrection in the streets, a massive drug epidemic, financial and economic disintegration, perpetual war, and cultural degeneracy? Or will President Trump’s intentions to restore sovereignty, not only to the U.S. but to all nations, and Russia and China in particular, be honored.
Colonel Black’s warning of a military coup attempt is being spread far and wide. Over 72,000 people have watched his video from the Schiller Institute Conference, while dozens of news services have spread the word. Over 7,000 people watched an interview with Colonel Black on the UK Column site in the U.K. The President is certainly aware of the danger.
A resolution to all these dangers lies in the President’s hands — to set a date for the meeting called for by President Vladimir Putin, and tentatively agreed to by President Trump, for the Permanent Five members of the UN Security Council to meet, preferably during the UN General Assembly session which has now begun, and address the existential crisis facing Mankind, in all its facets.
