Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is under attack—and it’s by Republicans! For the life of me, I don’t know why Republicans eat each other. I believe the real reason they are coming after Secretary Hegseth is because he has taken on the anti-God, woke, and DEI initiatives that the Biden administration had pushed down the throats of our military. Since Secretary Hegseth has been at the Pentagon, he’s been cleaning house—and millions of Americans are grateful. I encourage everyone to pray for him, that God would give him strength for this difficult hour. @SecWar

🚨🚨 DEMOCRACY FILES / THE ILLEGITIMACY PLAYBOOK, PART 15: HEGSETH'S IMPEACHMENT IS THE TROJAN HORSE. TRUMP IS THE REAL TARGET. 🚨

There is one fundamental principle of American military command:

Our military answers to civilian authority. And at the top of the chain of commands sits the President of the United States.

In other words, Pete Hegseth answers to President Donald Trump.

Pete Hegseth's articles of impeachments are that he is following unlawful orders issued by President Trump himself.

Senator Mark Kelly, the ringleader of the Seditious Six, says this explicitly.

According to Kelly, six of the eight articles of impeachment against Hegseth concern his alleged compliance with illegal orders from President Trump.

Read that again.

Six of eight articles are premised on that President Trump himself issued illegal orders.

Ask yourself this question:

If Hegseth needs impeachment for following Trump's alleged unlawful orders...

...

What does that imply about President Trump himself?

Exactly.

The goal of removing Hegseth has always been to remove Trump from office.

Hegseth is the opening move.

His entire downstream chain of command will be next.

This will be a single-handed turnover of the entire military structure, remade in the image of those who have been plotting against Trump all along.

Then the ultimate target: President Trump himself.

When I told you Hegseth was the only obstacle in a coup, I meant it.

Don't take my word for it. Watch them, in their own words:

🧵 THREAD: The true reason Pete Hegseth is being targeted is because he's standing between President Trump and a coup

@PeteHegseth named the institutions... CFR, Brookings, the general class... in 37 seconds in a video by @Liz_Wheeler . Within 72 hours of his nomination, a color revolution planning document cited him as an insider threat.

They didn't go after him because of drinking. They didn't go after him because of women. They went after him because every color revolution manual ever written says the same thing: you cannot topple a government unless the security forces defect. And a loyal Secretary of Defense is the one person who makes sure they don't.

I have the receipts. Their own documents. Their own training sessions. Their own words on camera.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

Last night is exactly why no President has dealt with Iran before now

We don't reward Presidents for acting in the best long-term interest of the country

We reward them for avoiding difficult decisions if it means we don't have to make any sacrifices during any given 2yr period

🚨 Nick Shirley asked an Iranian American what he thinks about what's going on with Iran, and he said it's 47 YEARS TOO LATE. He said they needed this 47 years ago, but nobody had the balls to do it except Trump (his words, not mine)! He said the head of the snake has been cut off, and once Iran becomes a normal democracy, second only to Israel in the Middle East, the whole world will be rid of terrorism.

Thank you @nickshirleyy for letting people like him be heard! 🇺🇸 CNN in the trash media would never dare give voice to the truth!

🇺🇸 🇮🇷

Man: I'm Iranian American.
Nick: What do you think about what's going on?
Man: 47 years too late! We needed this 47 years ago, but no one had, excuse the French, the balls to do it besides Trump! With this, the head of the snake is cut off, and you will see, once Iran becomes a normal democracy, second only to Israel in the Middle East, the whole world will be shed of terrorism.

You don't need to be a lawyer to understand this one… when somebody fights this hard to keep the right to delete something, it is because of what is on it.

Here is what happened in Michigan. Bridgewater Township Clerk Michelle McQueer had a simple question for Jocelyn Benson's office. Benson's own rule, R 168.48, says clerks must delete the electronic poll book files seven days after certification, while federal law, 52 USC 20701, says election officers must keep those records for 22 months and willfully failing to do it carries up to a year in federal prison. So which law does she follow? She asked in October of last year. She waited. She asked again. Nothing. Months of silence from the person in charge of Michigan elections, so she sued in August, got a restraining order, and she is now the only clerk known to still have her August 4 poll book file. Every other clerk's August file is already gone.

Then on Tuesday Judge Michael Riordan expanded that order statewide and told Benson to instruct every clerk in Michigan to move the November 3 poll books onto encrypted flash drives and lock them up until the court decides. DOJ filed a statement of interest saying poll book data, metadata included, are federal election records. And a data manager in Benson's own Bureau of Elections admitted under oath that the actual precinct lists poll workers use on Election Day never get uploaded to the state database, they get rebuilt later from a change log. So the "don't worry, it's all saved somewhere" argument just fell apart in her own affidavit.

And what does Benson do? She runs to the Court of Appeals with an emergency application, skips asking the trial judge for a stay first because it "would not be expedient," and asks them to waive the rule that says she has to. McQueer's lawyer Kevin Kijewski put it perfectly… she "asks leave to destroy the evidence while the court decides whether destroying it is lawful." The cost to Benson's office of obeying the order is one memo. The cost to a clerk who deletes is a federal statute with a jail term.

Now keep in mind this is the woman running for governor of Michigan. How do you campaign on protecting democracy while fighting in court for the right to erase the record of the election you are running in? Who benefits when the list poll workers actually saw on Election Day only exists for seven days?

I know this movie. Tina Peters got nine years in Colorado over backing up her county's election system before an update wiped it, and the media called her the threat. Michelle McQueer did it the right way, she asked, she waited, she went to court, and the Secretary of State still wants the files gone.

Preserve the records. All of them. For 22 months, like the law says.

Jocelyn, if there is nothing on those poll books, you should be the one begging to keep them.

🚨🚨THE DEMOCRACY FILES / ILLEGITIMACY PLAYBOOK, PART 10: THE ROLE OF FOREIGN STATES🚨

(First post deleted for typo)

How is an old government declared illegitimate and a new government declared the true successor?

Months before the actual transition, the following are achieved in advance:

• Civil society and activists get prepared for big uprisings.
• Media narratives are pre-seeded.
• Foreign officials provide cover.

The last point is what this drop is all about. You saw it last night - as soon as Lula "won" the election, EU officials and Alex Soros immediately swept in with their congratulations. That is a deliberate strategy to grant Lula legitimacy, not an organic congratulations.

The idea is to saturate the people with the idea that "this is the legitimate government, and you will accept it."

In these files, we see the various NGOs strategize on how to reach out to governments in advance and prepare them for what is coming. We also revisit how USAID OTI, the regime change arm of USAID, allegedly re-organized themselves inside the country.

We record one meeting taking place between Horizons Project and Catalonia officials. That we were able to document a meeting at all is unusual, because I'm told that these meetings are generally arranged at the highest levels and kept off the record (think Jake Sullivan, Norm Eisen level).
