Between this and James Comey’s indictment is no space. Was one supposed to distract from the other? The Comey situation is bad, it’s getting more than the expected attention (except from at least a few experienced prosecutors who seem to think it’s a “vindictive prosecution” slam-dunk), but the military recall is terrifying. Just like they want no one to realize. Or, maybe they do. Seems like it should bring the “refuse illegal orders” concept under the lens of reality. (Real fast, and now, all in one room.)
Is there a way we can put the distractions into a capsule and simply concentrate on what must be firmly within our collective awareness and handled as needed?
Calling my Congress reps tomorrow and every day until we get answers. They need to be all over this.
Refuse fear. Act. Nobody respects Hegseth. He is a greasy former Fox host. Security wise, this is an epically stupid move - leaves vulnerabilities all over the place. It needs to be spun that way- by Congress, the press, social media influencers, etc.
We need to make Hegseth look like the stupid fool he is for doing this.
TV, I like your directions, “Refuse fear. Act.” As in each step we see and have put before us, reactions of shock, surprise, stunned immobility, and following along or complying if not ignoring yet complying seem to be his expectation. None of our Colonists would have taken that, I expect, and neither must we.
Jack, my first thought was exactly what you described in your Scenario C. I think that they have enough signatures for the release of the Epstein files. They have one week for the vote on the CR. trump is panicking and needs a distraction... Martial Law. Occupy every major city and every border city.
I hope that the top brass honor their oaths. I really do. I think that shit is about to hit the fan.
Jan Moon, I understand. Although I too am quite moved and extremely concerned, yet not really sure what to say, I tried because I needed to feel the company and to try to help. We are in this together. The fact that you have expressed your thought helps, too. Thank you. Much of it is beyond us, but we do the best we can. I know my senators at least will do the best they can in using their wisdom and dedication.
I’m fantasising here, but with the scenarios you presented wouldn’t it be excellent, if they stood up, en masse, and hogtied kegs breath and courtmartialed him there and then?
Alas, there are probably no Mark Milleys and his ilk there now, to stand up for Americans.
Mo Robinson, yes, standing up en masse is exactly what we need them to do. I hope they have an agenda before walking in, and that they will hold their oath to the Constitution above all.
Thank you, Mo. I prayed a big one for sure, and we need to keep at it. The madness and inhumanity must stop! We need our military to be who and what they are supposed to be as per our Constitution and to be snd remain safe.
“General quarters, all hands on deck”, I know that statement by heart and it’s ringing in my ears loud and clear, thanks Jack for keeping us alert. I read about this development today and it’s a bad omen. I hate to think it, let alone say it but, anarchy is on the doorstep.
Bring in the entire upper flag officer corps of the entire US military, in one place, publicly announced. If that’s not a gold-plated invitation to US adversaries, I don’t know what is. Hey, adversaries! Want to completely destabilize the US military? I’d be curious to know what folks’ thoughts are on whether or not any of them might not show up because of the security nightmare this causes. Having not served in the military, I don’t know whether or not this is something that could be considered a refusable order in that light.
Faith, I have been wondering a lot, too. My family members who served in the military are not living now, so I cannot ask them so many things I am wondering.
This is terrifying. I knew something ominous was in the offing. Con was doing the look over here (Comey) while actually prepping this. This is why he was so insistent at renaming DOD. He continues to threaten all life that exists within these borders. What I do not, for the life of me understand, is the fact that his chosen do not see what is in front of their very eyes. This is nightmare in the USA.
Thank you, Jack for communicating this to us. It's unnerving, but we're staying the course!
By Hegseth pulling this stunt, and leaving things very vulnerable, it proves 2 things: 1) He doesn't give 2 shits about protecting Americans or American interests and, 2) He's completely incompetent to be serving in his current role.
Jack, thank you. I do not understand Qunatico, so I looked it up and learned that is a television program. I do not have television, but I do understand the danger of this situation and the value of your detailed message. Of course, I reposted it. I
I am praying for strength snd honesty for every officer and every enlisted military person to have strength and to stand up for our Constitution above any man, woman, or human in any capacity, with We the People of the United States of America and our Constitution being protected always, while each and all stay safe all the while. We absolutely must come through this time and maintain our freedoms and our democracy within this republic, as well as maintain our integrity and our safety.

I am trying not to throw up.

I have absolutely nothing intelligent to say. But wanted to check in just to see if I could put together a comment. Apparently not. I can't even . . .
I feel exactly the same.
Oh, Jan, I understand completely. I’m not often speechless, but. . .

A wee prayer might be in order about now

How many people in that room will be Christian Nationalists?

Yeah, huge surprise there. Not.
Hegseth is just following orders.

Quantico is a place: a Marine Corp base in Virginia.

The TV show was named after the base.
E L, thank you so much!
