Pentagon Discussing How To Disobey If Trump Deploys Troops Domestically

Posted • November 9, 2024: Way back in November of 2023, sitting congressman Bill Pascrell, Jr. warned us all that Donald Trump would put tanks in the streets if he were reelected. He even had his staff put together a graphic of a tank with a Trump bumper sticker running over a flag on a suburban street, and said he'd post it repeatedly "so no one can say they haven’t been told." Just last month, James Carville said that Trump would deploy the military to round up young black men. New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg was worried that troops would be marching through her gated neighborhood to flush out illegal immigrants. And then there was the freak-out over Trump saying he was going after "the enemy within." "Fusion" Natasha Bertrand reports for CNN that Pentagon officials are discussing what to do if Trump deploys active-duty military domestically.

Natasha Bertrand @NatashaBertrand: “New: Pentagon officials are holding informal discussions about how the Department of Defense would respond if Donald Trump issues orders to deploy active-duty troops domestically and fire large swaths of apolitical staffers, defense officials told CNN.” https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/08/politics/pentagon-officials-discussing-trump/index.html -- “Several former senior military officials who served under Trump have sounded the alarm in recent years about his authoritarian impulses, including Milley and retired Gen. John Kelly, Trump’s former White House chief of staff. Kelly said before the election that Trump fits “into the general definition of fascist” and that he spoke of the loyalty of Hitler’s Nazi generals. There is not much the Pentagon can do to pre-emptively shield the force from a potential abuse of power by a commander in chief. Defense Department lawyers can and do make recommendations to military leaders on the legality of orders, but there is no real legal safeguard that would prevent Trump from deploying American soldiers to police US streets.”

Pentagon Officials are Internally discussing how they can disobey direct orders from the President, if they feel Trump is given “controversial orders” — Like mass deportations. A lot of people are going to be tried for treason if they continue down this dangerous path. Trumps presidency is gonna be wild. -- How long after Trump's inauguration will it take to deploy tanks in the streets? This is certainly how to ensure the incoming administration assumes there’s a deep state cabal inside the Pentagon working against them. POLITICO reported that "defense officials are getting anxious about the possibility of the incoming Trump administration firing Joint Chiefs Chair Gen. C.Q. Brown, due to perceptions that he is out of step with the president-elect on the Pentagon’s diversity and inclusion programs." Most commenters recommended that Trump fire all of the generals.

Bertrand was the vehicle for a host of Trump-Russia collusion stories, for the 51 former intel officials bullshit Hunter Biden laptop letter story, & now for the Pentagon Resistance story. Understand the signal here — the federal bureaucracy will not give up without a fight. (…)
