BREAKING: Retired U.S. Army Lieutenant General Mark Hertling reveals that top military officers are considering disobeying Trump's "horribly immoral and illegal" orders to bomb Iran's civilian infrastructure.
A full-blown military rebellion may be brewing...
"I've trained for forty years as a soldier and as a commander," Hertling said on MS Now. "And when you're an officer in the United States Army, you're loyal to a couple of things. You're primarily loyal to the Constitution. You are also loyal to your superiors if they give, as you said, lawful orders."
If Trump proceeds with his threat to bomb civilian infrastructure like power plants and bridges or follows through on his pronouncement that "a whole civilization will die tonight," they would constitute the most unlawful orders imaginable. If, as he seems to be implying, Trump launches a nuclear strike on Iran, it would be the greatest crime in human history. The entire U.S. military would be honor-bound to reject the orders.
"When they start giving unlawful orders, you find a way to push back on them and to make sure they adjust their approach," said Hertling. "But you also are loyal to the soldiers that are under your command. So those three loyalties sometimes are conflicting."
"So I'm sure there's a lot of military commanders right now, a lot of senior officers who are saying to themselves, 'I can't obey an unlawful order,'" said Hertling. "I can't do things that I know are absolutely wrong."
It's worth noting that Hertling is no minor figure. He previously served as the Commanding General of the United States Army Europe and the Seventh Army. His distinguished career speaks for itself and lends a profound gravity to his assessments.
"But they also feel like they have to provide support for their soldiers who don't just get to quit," he continued. "They have to stay in the military and potentially see an uprising in all of these things. So the senior military officials are in a real quandary one this one because they know they can't do some of the things that the president is asking them to do."
"They have a Secretary of Defense who has continually said lethality is better than legality or words to that effect," said Hertling. "So it's really causing some dynamics within those who are thinking soldiers, saying 'How do I continue to serve my Constitution and live by the rules that are in law and still conduct these kinds of actions which are horribly immoral and illegal."
This is the position that our deeply evil president has placed our brave service men and women in. They're torn between their duty to obey their commander-in-chief and the knowledge that he has revealed himself to be a genocidal psychopath in the grips of dementia. They must side with the Constitution, the American people, and the world by rejecting any unlawful orders that Trump might deliver. The future of our planet depends upon it.
Please ❤️ and share to urge the military to reject unlawful order!
BREAKING: Thomas Massie goes nuclear on Congress – "I am sorry if one of your billionaire donors is going to get embarrassed because he went to Rape Island ... Some of them need to go to prison!"
The Kentucky Republican congressman delivered a scorching, no-holds-barred speech on the House floor today, warning Senate Republicans not to water down or kill the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
Massie blasted any senator trying to "muck this bill up," saying: "If you are a party to that in the Senate, you are part of this cover-up that we are trying to expose."
In a merciless takedown, he added, "I am sorry if one of your billionaire donors is going to get embarrassed because he went to Rape Island. That is what they have coming. In fact, they need to be on the other side of bars, a lot of them. Some of them will be embarrassed, but some of them need to go to prison, and the survivors know that."
Not done, Massie brought a big finish: How will we know if this bill has been successful? We will know when there are men, rich men, in handcuffs being perp-walked to jail. And until then, this is still a cover-up."
This is Massie at his most boldly driven: calling out elite protection rackets, billionaire enablers, and any senator shielding them from full disclosure.
With Epstein scandals exploding – the unredacted videos of minors, survivor-led name lists, Zorro Ranch murder tips, and the downfall of politicians, business leaders, and event royalty – Massie's rage captures the fury that the powerful are still being protected.
Like and share if you think Massie’s outrage will lead to real accountability for Epstein’s rich cronies who had a great old time on “rape island.”
BREAKING: MAGA FBI Director Kash Patel is reduced to a sputtering mess and literally recites his "ABCs" as a distraction after Congressman Eric Swalwell confronts him about the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
This coverup is getting more embarrassing by the second...
"Did. You. Tell. The. Attorney. General. That Donald Trump's name is in the Epstein files? Yes or no?" asked Swalwell, enunciating clearly to make his point with an uncooperative Patel.
"Why don't you try spelling it out if you're going to mock me?" said Patel.
"Yes or no?" pressed Swalwell.
"Use the alphabet. No? A, B, C, D, E, F," said Patel, desperate to pivot away from the question.
"It sounds like you don't want to tell us. Did you tell the attorney general that Donald Trump's name was in the Epstein files?" asked Swalwell.
"Why don't you try serving your constituency by focusing on reducing violent crime in this country and the number of pedophiles that are legally harbored in your sanctuary cities in California," said Patel. "I'll work with you on that. Do you want to work with us on that?"
Swalwell reclaimed his time. "Did you tell the attorney general that Donald Trump's name is in the Epstein files, yes or no?" he asked.
"The question has been asked or answered," said Patel without answering the question.
"You have not answered it and we will take your evasiveness as a consciousness of guilt," said Swalwell.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche — who was formerly Trump's personal attorney — informed the president in May that his name appeared multiple times in the Epstein files that the Justice Department and FBI reviewed. It stands to reason that it was Patel, as head of the FBI, who informed Bondi of this fact.
If Patel never told Bondi such a thing, he could have simply stated that to Swalwell during today's hearing. His failure to do so speaks volumes. Since he was under oath, any knowingly false statements would have been perjury. By refusing to answer the question, Patel may have been protecting himself from future felony prosecutions.
In any case, it's now undeniable that a coverup is taking place. Bondi, Patel, and Trump continue to lie to the American people and the reason is obvious.
Trump, an adjudicated rapist, is almost certainly a pedophile too.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that Trump is all over those files!
