So the plan is to train the military to go after citizens of the United States. I was expecting this at some point, because I’ve been paying attention, but now that it’s here, I feel sick to my stomach and can’t remember anything sane to do. I know I’m not helpless, Jack, but the fear has me feeling that way. I’ll need reminding of what we can do because my head is spinning
I know exactly how you’re feeling because I’m feeling the same way. I don’t think I can eat. I keep remembering how proud my generation was about defeating fascism at the end of WWWII. The nation was proud of this accomplishment and also proud of the way the USA was helping European nations rebuild. Too many Americans today are too young to remember or understand who Americans are! This is devastating. A train wreck we saw happening. Why couldn’t we stop it?
We could not stop it because many people were and still are being lied to in heavy, continual doses, and they do not even question it. There are other people who pay no attention whatsoever.
Let’s hope that the military as a whole is smarter than to go after Americans, smart enough not to believe the lies, and smart enough to see through the whole plan. They must be smart enough to understand and uphold the Constitution as it now stands, above all else.
It seems, and has seemed all along, that everyone should have been wise and perceptive enough to keep us free of such a mess in the first place. I realize that these thoughts do not solve anything. Nonetheless, they are the most prominent thoughts of the moment.
Jack, I look forward to reading what you think we should do from this point onward. As always, thank you so much for all you do!
I am not an optimist. I do not own rose colored glasses. But I have to wonder if, in addition to the potential horror this signifies, it also telegraphed intent so clearly that at the same moment a cadre of resistance was formed. I’d further prefer to believe that so many of our most respected military leaders know enough to know showing any reaction today would be a mistake. Unfortunately for us, like they say, “you never hear the shot that gets you”.
I feel sad and angry. I hope the flag leaders can join together and refuse to take their troops into cities to destroy American citizens. It would seem if they refuse they would only be left with the horrible ice brigade. I have to believe there are more US military than ice lackeys. Other countries have had their military overturn corrupt government. Maybe that will happen here
Is there enough/majority of the generals who could be trusted to push back due to oath of Constitution? I just can’t imagine all would capitulate to a pair of madmen.
We need a few Deep Throat whistle blowers. But who would protect them? Where Woodward and Bernstein had the power of the press behind them, we have no such thing.
I have collected document after document (and continue to do so, they are posted here under another comment) showing the depths of the Trump-Epstein-Israel-Russia connections and I firmly believe there's a lot more to it. I am sharing them as many times as I can find the opportunity to do so all over Reddit and SubStack but my reach is very very small. There are more than a dozen links to follow and each is its own piece of the puzzle and its own rabbit hole. Not many people want to go down all of those. Fewer still can see the patterns and start putting together the bigger picture. No one wants to truly believe in a global pedo conspiracy.
But blowing this conspiracy wide open is the only hope we have and no one is paying attention. They think posting "Release the Epstein files!" is the key but that wouldn't expose Trump and Trump alone. Actually exposing Epstein's network would expose an enormous global power structure that is rapidly advancing with every blow to American democracy and it's institutions. Jack has talked about it, but not enough, (I'm sorry, Jack).
There is no leadership and no cohesive resistance. We all feel helpless to stop all of this because mostly we are. No one is going to save us and I don't think a true resistance will coalesce in time for us to save ourselves. Dems are complicit. They're powerless too, for other reasons. I don't know what to do except keep sharing my tranche of links and hope maybe someone with a big enough audience gets ahold of the story. Democracy is dying fast.
OK, Jack, but YOU ARE PREACHING TO THE CHOIR AND THE VESTRY.
WE ALL KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. Do you think we are deaf aand blind?
What we need is GUIDENCE ON HOW TO FIGHT BACK.
Yes, I know: VOTE AT THE MIDTERMS. We are going to do that, nut they ar FIFTEEN MONTHS AWAY! Donnie Boy and Hegsdeath will have done a barge load of harm by then.
WE NEED TO START FIGHTING TODAY.
FOR THE SAKE OF A NATION INDER SEIGE, SPEAK UP NOW!
The first thing that I noticed is that Trump looks very ill. He looks like he could keel over at any time. This is not to take away from the subject of this article, but rather to remind all of us that Trump may not be around much longer. Any ideas or comments are welcome.
Hi RR, there is a saying, ‘only the good die young’. I doubt the current pres will check out before this century is over. Who, in the after life, would want him?
Maybe Bren, but satan may fear our guy may insist upon an election for the office of top devil. The incumbent, of course, would likely win, but the loser would never stop whining that the election was rigged. Who needs that?!
I just don’t see it that way Jack…no applause, stone faced; I take their reaction as a total rejection of what these two clowns were prattling on about…
I think, yes, for the most part but if there are videos of the audience it will be possible to tell how many of the officers are thinking. I wouldn’t have wanted to be in their place today.
I heard one thing that sent chills up my spine and it came out of trump's mouth... when he was talking about sending armed troops into blue cities... he said "kill them". He told them to kill American citizens in the goddamned United States! "The enemy within" which is anyone and everyone who doesn't bow down to him. Democrats. This is the same rhetoric that Hitler used when he was referring to Jews. They're not only using P2025... They are using Hitler's playbook.
I think that we are way past "peaceful protest" lines. Next there will be bounties on our heads. There are going to be armed men at voting precincts during midterms, if even we get a chance to vote again. A shadow government should have been building since the day after he won the second term.
Time to brush up on your knowledge of "The Epstein Conspiracy." Not "the Files." Not "the Client List." Make no mistake. It's "The Epstein Conspiracy" and we need to start calling it that because that's exactly what it is. It involves Epstein. Trump. Israel. Russia. And lots and lots of people whose names you will recognize immediately. Big names. At the highest levels of government and far beyond.
RELEASE THE EPSTEIN CONSPIRACY FILES.
Here are the posts and articles I have collected detailing the depth of what I'm calling "The Epstein Conspiracy." It's not just some files, it's not just a client list. It's literally a massive conspiracy to conceal that global pedo cabal you've heard about all this time. Only it involves so many billionaires, royals, politicians, banking institutions, universities, intelligence agencies and global leaders your head will spin. If anyone hasn't fully dived into the rabbit hole yet, these links are a good start.
NOTE: Every post I'm linking has verifiable sources. This is not some kooky conspiracy theory Kool Aid. This is all publicly available information, every name and every thread are connected. In many cases the details are corroborated by the other links.
THE ONLY WAY WE'RE GOING TO SAVE OURSELVES IS TO EXPOSE THIS SHIT.
Yes. I agree with you. You would think these possibilities would come to mind for them…unless they are just so caught up in their plan they can’t think straight. Who knows. Dt not understanding why his audience was silent seems strange. As Commander-in-Chief he should have some understanding of rules and standards for the military.
The real hope we have is this: with every word Kegsbreath and Jabba said, it should have been very clear to them why their oath is to the Constitution and not to a single man. These are not stupid people. They see what’s going on. Having fought for this country in situations most of us cannot even imagine, against regimes the likes of which Jabba intends to recreate - that has to instill the heart and spine necessary to stop this. But they also can’t do it alone. October 18th is the next No Kings. Protest like your life depends on it, because it does. Go to fifty fifty.one and find the nearest protest near you and what you can do in addition to that.
It has been a long day. Everything you wrote today is right on, Jack. It does feel like a turning point and, yikes, I am CONCERNED! My mind has taken a different, but no less troublesome, route on the effects of what is happening.
1. Our nation has had a primo military in many ways for many years. We may not have invested in elementary schools but we have had the best equipment, training, manpower, leaders, etc. Tomorrow (it began a few months ago really) our corps will be changed. No longer will the best leaders be in charge of manpower, mission, and equipment.
2. We have built a military that welcomes any qualified person - you don’t even have to be a citizen. Because we welcomed all, we have had a bigger and better pool of people qualified for the various missions in our military. Every person in the military has a skill they are trained to do that makes a mission tight and well run. Each person was tested to determine their particular gift and were trained to perform their job to an exemplary degree based on that gift. Tomorrow, some of those people will be gone and our readiness will be weaker. Maybe a person who would have made the best fighter pilot or submarine technician, security police keeping a base safe now will not be allowed to join our military. Our mission will not have the best and brightest to pick from because they may be excluded. Our military will be weaker as a unit.
3. Each person in the military depends on many other people to do their best job but if you are unsure of their skill or political leaning will you be able to trust their capabilities or trust that they believe in your fidelity to the military.
4. Finally, the leaders of our military are and will remain less qualified, less appropriate, less able to receive respect or loyalty which will fracture the chain or command and our readiness or ability to work as a very large, well oiled machine of manpower when necessary. Look at the Germany military in WWII. This exact thing happened within their military. They did a lot of damage but it was messy and from reading it sounded frightening not to know who you could trust, who was on the take, who was good at their work. Sound familiar?
I know we haven’t had wins in recent wars but I don’t think that was always due to an undedicated, unequipped, untrained personnel, or weak chain of command. Someone said about Afghanistan when a group from another nation needed to be rescued, helped in a sticky situation, or evacuated they would always call the U.S. military first. We would answer the call, we knew what to do, we had the equipment needed, and we have good soldiers.
That is the military we will lose. A military of which we can be proud; a military the young want to join and make a career; a military where potential is of more import than skin color, gender, sexual orientation, religion, political affiliation; a military where your senior command will not ask for loyalty to a president but to the U.S. Constitution as designed. Don’t get me wrong, I do know all things are not always peachy for a soldier, in the military, with a commander. That is a given. I am just thinking about what I know of my husband’s military experience, talking with other military and spouses, working in civil service on a military base, and living in a city with a military base. I revere our military and the safety they provide worldwide, the blood they have shed for us. I do not want their skills to be used against me, an old liberal who speaks her mind and always will. I am assured that will be true by my citizenship in the United States of America as guaranteed in our U.S. Constitution.
So the plan is to train the military to go after citizens of the United States. I was expecting this at some point, because I’ve been paying attention, but now that it’s here, I feel sick to my stomach and can’t remember anything sane to do.

This. Every post needs to come with action reminders.

Frightening! What’s the pushback?
The first thing that I noticed is that Trump looks very ill. He looks like he could keel over at any time. This is not to take away from the subject of this article, but rather to remind all of us that Trump may not be around much longer. Any ideas or comments are welcome.
Hi RR, there is a saying, ‘only the good die young’. I doubt the current pres will check out before this century is over. Who, in the after life, would want him?

SHARE IT. EVERYWHERE.
A spot on read Jack 😎👊🏼
"It was a loyalty spectacle. A purge in plain sight. A strongman rehearsal…staged at Quantico…but aimed at the nation."
One can only speculate what career generals are feeling right now 😳
Thank you Jack, this is fascists coming for our military, with the aim of making this a dictatorship.
Thank you.
Can we hope for a military coup? All the generals are in one spot. Surely they can make a plan.
It seems that possibility would worry hegstooth and dt. If the military desired there would be no physical defense for the administration.
Yes. I agree with you. You would think these possibilities would come to mind for them…unless they are just so caught up in their plan they can’t think straight. Who knows. Dt not understanding why his audience was silent seems strange. As Commander-in-Chief he should have some understanding of rules and standards for the military.
That would be AWESOME, but I doubt that will happen.
We're fucked.

Will our Generals and Admirals surrender this easily OR will they have LTC Vindman's Brave Heart ?
