The Washington Post just published a story about Bob Woodward’s upcoming book, “Peril,” in which he essentially details how General Mark Milley committed treason and engaged in what was essentially a military coup by thwarting the President and secretly conspiring with senior military leadership and foreign actors to usurp and undermine the President’s power.
Yeah, it’s weird that they’re talking about it out in the open, right? I guess they’re either ready to burn Milley and shut him out completely, or else they’re so confident in their control of the narrative that they don’t think it will matter.
Apparently, General Milley was so concerned that former President Donald Trump would launch a nuclear attack on China that he conspired with a likely enemy of the country by going behind the President’s back to make two secret phone calls to his Chinese counterpart, General Li Zuocheng. The first call was made by General Milley on October 30, 2020, and the second was made on January 8, 2021, in which he said,
“If we’re going to attack, I’m going to callyou ahead of time. It’s not going to be a surprise.”
Top general was so fearful Trump might spark war with China that he made secret calls to his counterpart in Beijing, new book says https://t.co/cb8ypg6JvF

“If we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time. It’s not going to be a surprise,” Milley said.
Li took the chairman at his word, the authors write in the book, “Peril,” which is set to be released next week. https://t.co/PaH60y3ocg

So, a top General in the US military and government was going to thwart and undermine a duly elected and sitting President of the United States by secretly warning an enemy about military action by the President?
That’s treason.
Not only that, he held a secret meeting with senior military officials in charge of the National Military Command Center in which they created a “top-secret action” plan to prevent the duly elected and sitting President of the United States from performing his sworn and constitutionally authorized duties, and issued a strict order not to obey any military actions ordered by that President. He usurped and undermined the authority of the President. CNN even said that “Milley was overseeing the mobilization of America’s national security state without the knowledge of the American people or the rest of the world.”
Essentially, a military coup and treason.
There must be an immediate investigation around Gen. Mark Milley’s actions undermining the Commander in Chief by working with the Chinese government. If these allegations are true, Milley needs to be fired and then charged with treason.

Who elected #Milley to usurp the president’s authority? No one. Yet he decided on his own to subvert the democratic process and make himself dictator. Now a jury of his peers should decide whether he’s guilty of treason

Treason: “Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, . . . adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned . . ..” https://t.co/wW0gzKdU0d

Mind you, this is the same incompetent General who has been instrumental in the Afghanistan debacle that has led to the loss of billions of dollars worth of military equipment, the senseless deaths of countless civilians and more than a dozen US soldiers, and the cold-blooded murder of a family of innocent civilians, including seven young children, by a US airstrike based on faulty information.
If he was willing to commit treason to go behind Trump’s back and warn an enemy of military action, and engage in what is essentially a military coup by secretly conspiring with military officials to prevent the President from performing his constitutional duties and usurping that power, then why didn’t he at least stand up and speak out about a demented President’s disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal plan? He didn’t think to say, “Maybe we get everyone else out before evacuating the military?” Or, “Maybe we destroy or remove all the equipment before we evacuate so we don’t turn over billions of dollars worth of sensitive military equipment to terrorists?” Or, “Maybe we shouldn’t give a list of names to the Taliban for them to use to create a kill list of American citizens and Afghan allies?”
General Milley isn’t a hero. General Milley is a hyper partisan, incompetent hypocrite and an enemy to this country. He has made some of the worst possible decisions which have led to some of the worst possible outcomes, has apparently committed treason and engaged in a military coup, and has yet to face any real consequences.
Instead, upstanding soldiers who call out the incompetent leadership and disastrous decision making get fired for daring to demand accountability from the leaders of this country.
