Trump has been appointing a number of high ranking military officials to posts in his government. So far, there are three: Marine General James “Mad Dog” Mattis to Secretary of Defense, Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn will be national security advisor and General John Kelly has been put in charge of the Department of Homeland Security.
While most of us would’ve preferred Kobach for DHS over John Kelly, these guys are alright on immigration, neo-con warmongering, etc. For example, General James Mattis, who was propelled to fame during the Iraq War, was privately recorded during the conflict expressing dismay at the decision to invade the country, and even opposed the war in Afghanistan (this war was a sham as well, though that’s not widely talked about in the way Iraq is). Flynn has made similar statements in the past. As for Kelly, the Huffington Post describes him as a “border hawk,” which means he is probably pretty good.
This feeds into my gut feeling that there may have been a coup within the US deep state during the election, with a faction of honorable men who feel the need to do something about dying America being destroyed defeating the globalist Jewish faction in the US government. Even if this is not the case, Trump is smart to surround himself with with these men, as they are far more likely to be loyal and do the right thing than swamp-borne DC gypsies like Chris Christie or Mitt Romney. It also reduces the chance of a military coup by bribed or corrupt military personnel during his administration.
Having more than one (or even one in this day and age) military general in your cabinet is very rare in Western plutocracies, yet I have not seen the amount of commotion you’d expect about it from the Judenpresse. They may just be arrested by fear, which is why the discussion is happening mostly in Jew-for-Jew portals, probably with the intent of practicing discretion in a time where their grip on power has never been so close to slipping away.
Jewish Political News & Updates:
Those who see worrying signs in Trump’s heavy-handed favoring of military personnel include Peter White, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Maryland’s Center for International Development and Conflict Management.
“The average number of military officers in nondemocratic governments’ cabinets generally ranges between 1½ and two officers, while the average number for democracies is always well below a single officer,” White wrote in a December 1 article. White also pointed out that the institutional culture of the U.S. military “is not organized around seeking political power. The principle of civilian control is well-established and widely respected. In its more than 240 years, the U.S. military has never attempted a coup.”Still, as White acknowledged, even long-standing norms can be changed, “and the incoming administration has pledged to throw out many.”
“Whatever the good intentions of the former officers who’ve been nominated, having a host of former generals in traditionally civilian positions would begin to erode principles of civil-military relations central to democracy, including civilian control and the political neutrality of the armed forces,” he wrote. “Many failed democracies can testify that these are vital principles to hold on to.”

Trump’s clear favoring of the military to run key sectors of his administration may conjure images of banana republics and military juntas that are unsettling, to say the least. At the same time, the selections can hardly be surprising to anyone who has followed the past year’s remarkable unfolding of events. This is, after all, a man who proudly and repeatedly proclaimed himself “the law and order” candidate; spoke with barely disguised admiration about Saddam Hussein; pledged that “I alone” could solve the country’s problems; and threatened to jail his opponent if elected.
These moments, which are only a selection from the spectacle of Trump’s campaign, will be burned into the American national and political consciousness for decades to come. Trump’s behavior and actions undoubtedly run counter to centuries of expected norms in the American political arena. They are shocking in a country conditioned to expect at least the pretense of dignity in the electoral process. Thanks to Trump, that pretense hasn’t just been broken. It’s been atomized.
Ultimately, Trump’s behavior is only unprecedented in the US. For observers unspoiled by centuries of democratic tradition, it’s simply routine.
Will these battle tested men who, without question, personally despise the existing political establishment do what needs to be done? We can only hope. The only force capable of breaking the Zionist LA-DC-NYC power-axis is the military; let’s see if Trump and his Praetorians can uphold their oath to protect the country.
