None Dare Call It Sedition – I Am

After sending out these pictures a dear friend of mine replied, “We should replace the Statue of Liberty with Chiquita Banana.”

“Workers on Monday install protections on building facades near the White House as building managers and local businesses fear violent demonstrations ahead of the coming Presidential elections”

Did you notice the address on that building? 1776. Our governor here in Texas sent 1,000 National Guard to big cities like Austin, Dallas and Houston and San Antonio.  When was the last time America braced for violence, rioting and sure to happen looting over an election?  It sickens me.  Oh, and make no mistake about it, there’s going to be serious trouble – especially in big metro cities run by Democrat mayors.  Because all those mayors have let this go on for nearly seven months the rioters, looters and killers believe they can simply continue the carnage with a slap on the wrist.

‘I’d be lying to you if I said I wouldn’t be worried’:  American cities on edge – “The vice president of the New York-based Sergeants Benevolent Association, Vincent Vallelong, told the Daily Caller News Foundation that he hadn’t seen such disaster preparation in his city since the 9/11 terrorist attacks.”

Seditious, violent, America haters have been planning for months in the event Trump wins the electoral college vote.  Liberals (socialists) and progressives (communists) have been screeching for weeks Trump won’t vacate the WH peacefully. Vote fraud’s the only way Trump can win!   Democrats are masters of the game:  transfer what you’re doing to the other party.

Let’s look at the legal definition of sedition:  “Sedition the federal crime of advocacy of uprising or overthrow against the government or support for an enemy of the nation during time of war, by speeches, publications and organization. Sedition usually involves actually conspiring to disrupt the legal operation of the government and is beyond expression of an opinion or protesting government policy. Sedition is distinguished from treason, which requires actual betrayal of the government, or “espionage.”

Anti-American ‘Orders Project’ is Encouraging Military to Stand Down to Leftist Terrorists After the Election

“An organization of attorneys, calling themselves The Orders Project, is effectively encouraging military personnel to refuse orders to keep peace in the streets following the election if left-wing ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter terrorists lay waste to cities.

“Washington D.C. National Guard Major Adam DeMarco, a Democrat operative who ran unsuccessfully for U.S. Senate in Maryland in 2018, is exploiting his military bona fides to push his left-wing partisan agenda against President Trump with the help of the fake news media…”

“I am in a position as a major in the U.S. Army National Guard where I can do something, and that’s why I decided to come forward,” he added.”

Our Forces–  “The Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force and Coast Guard are the armed forces of the United States. The Army National Guard and the Air National Guard are reserve components of their services and operate in part under state authority.”

United States Code of Military Justice Article 92:  Failure to Obey an Order

I’m not a lawyer, certainly not an expert in military law.  But DeMarco is a major using his uniform and rank to encourage those under his command and others in uniform to willfully stand down from a lawful order (repel rioting, looting, protect lives and keep the peace) if issued.  His commanding officer needs take action now. DeMarco is advocating for his troops to “conspire to disrupt the legal operation of the government and is beyond expression of an opinion or protesting government policy.”

DeMarco thinks he’s being clever by just “encouraging” those under his command.  Those under his command know damn well he can make their lives miserable in the future.  The Army National Guard does not need seditionists like DeMarco in their ranks.

How Trump Survives a Coup: And how our form of government survives with him.

When the first American edition of my Coup d’État: a Practical Handbook was published in 1969, the United States was in great turmoil. Anti-Vietnam War demonstrations had grown increasingly aggressive—a process culminating in the Kent State demonstrations of the following year, during which beleaguered National Guardsmen in imminent physical danger killed four and wounded others in self-defense, as multiple courts unambiguously determined.

The publisher’s press agent had no trouble at all lining up media interviews. These I handled as best I could, having just arrived in the U.S. for the first time and being greatly ill-prepared for the peculiar nature of American provincialism. It is not that Americans do not know about foreign lands—countless individual Americans know more about individual foreign countries than any collection of Europeans—but rather that they share a peculiar belief that political experiences of any sort anywhere else in the world are irrelevant for the United States, because the United States is…different.

So interviewers kept asking the same question in many different ways: “Could a coup d’état happen in the U.S.?” I would always answer by pointing out that every political system has a breaking point, and if that happens the armed forces are inevitably the residual legatee, especially if recently victorious and therefore confident, or else recently defeated and therefore resentful.

There matters would have rested but for an accident of fate. I was looking forward to leaving New York after a week, unimpressed by its disrepair and inhibited social life and with much to do in Paris, when I was suddenly invited to proceed to Washington, D.C. to work—illegally, on a tourist visa—for two preeminent personalities, Paul Nitze and the formidable Dean Acheson, architects between them of the entire structure of American foreign and defense policy.

It was quite early on in my illegal labors that I learned I had been entirely wrong in believing the United States was also potentially vulnerable to a coup d’état. It was not. I discovered the American political system does not have a breaking point, and that the armed forces cannot therefore become its residual legatee. What made me see my profound error so quickly was the work I was doing for Acheson and Nitze, who had set up the Committee to Maintain a Prudent Defense Policy to argue the case for the Safeguard ballistic missile defense system soon to face a vote in the Senate……….

Since then, however, everything has changed. Each one of the crash-barriers and backstops of the American political system has been undone. Once again, therefore, I must avow error and change my verdict: yes, the American political system too does have a breaking point—and yes, the armed forces could be left as its residual legatee.
