Guy I ride bikes with got the call to report on the 18th. Something else is going on if they're activating the Marines.

In theory, but look what happened in Syria, this is not how it plays out in practice.

Trump: “Military, do this.”

Military: “No.”

Then the NCO corps makes arrests of officers disobeying a direct order from the CIC. In 2001, Congress declared the War on Terror and it is still in effect making any order from higher, especially the CIC, absolute and subject to arrest if not carried out. We are in a State of Declared war. The rules are different than peacetime.

That’s not how it works. And the rules aren’t any different. Officers don’t make an oath to the office of the president. We make an oath to the Constitution. In theory if the officer thought the president was going against the constitution they could go against the office of the president. This is intentional, the founding fathers wanted the military to support the constitution not just the current leader of the government. Or else we end up in one of those situations like Rome where the military just followed their generals and the emperor.

I see no justification for the downvotes. You're just stating facts. The part about the military swearing an oath "to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution" is, well, in the Constitution FFS. It's the same oath the President takes, except for the military, "against all enemies foreign and domestic" is added.

The military can refuse orders they believe un-Constitutional (as you point out in your later comment). Unfortunately they can also commit treason or sedition under the pretext of defending the Constitution. OR the Marines really could be about to come to the aid of the Constitution that constitutes these United States and rescue our nation from the traitors. I'm praying for that.

It's not a magic document that settles every possible contingency in advance forever. It's one of humanity's greatest political achievements, but it was still made by humans for humans.

The generals in all branches ASKED Trump to run for the Presidency in 2016 to rid the world of evil and corruption. You think they won’t listen to him. Think again.

I read the Generals turned against him that he does not have the backing of the military anymore. That would be a shame after he put himself and his family in danger

Thomas1117 is not wrong just blind spot thinking all generals are the same, and there are not clicks within clicks.. 80% of all brass is Obama Deep State cucks, the rest sit on their hands, 2% are die hard support Trump.

From what I understand it is JSOC which was created after failed response to Israel Olympics attack, that was given representation copies of each of the main forces, a complete small version of all key capabilities including SIG INTEL which was in a position like NSA to trip over CIA rat lines and other DC Mafia games.. they reported it up the chain for years but the civilian pols would squash it.

Trump was hired by the 2% as a vehicle to prevent Clintons and the DS machine, but since then they have been peeled off and they have bribed and threatened who is left..

The capital operation against Trump was 100% IC ran and was imbedded in MAGA community for months in preparation leading to that result... Q may have even started real but nothing that powerful could last without itself being commandeered by CCP/Clowns, I saw that happen when the JFK jr shills appeared.

Anyhow, they have pre-positioned the board that any move Trump makes is a coup against peaceful transfer of power and any calls for audit or proper process of transparent results, conservative right to self agency, organization of any protest in any capital across America, all of it is now domestic terror.

They scared the shit out of the NPCs in 2016 with Trump, then Russia in 2017, then North Korea WWIII, then Putin in the WH, then Iran WWIII, then Ukraine with their finally as a giant world wide pandemic...

Now.. YOU

But the army is already in DC. He can bypass the Pentagon and order lower ranks on the ground directly.

WTF are the swamp going to do? Cast a magic spell and teleport the 20k soldiers out of DC?

That's the National Guard, not the Army

Regardless, they are all under the CiC. And it would be too late for the Pentagon to obstruct them now.

I'm pretty pessimistic, but ignoring the videos and news media, It really looks like Trump has them in a checkmate position.
