| More than 120 retired flag officers sign open letter warning that America 'is in deep peril |
| 2021-05-11 |
| [Just The News] More than 120 retired American military officials have signed an open letter warning that America has veered left under Democratic control and that the nation's survival is on the line. "Under a Democrat Congress and the Current Administration, our Country has taken a hard left turn toward Socialism and a Marxist form of tyrannical government which must be countered now by electing congressional and presidential candidates who will always act to defend our Constitutional Republic. The survival of our Nation and its cherished freedoms, liberty, and historic values are at stake," the letter states. Some of the signers include retired Army Brigadier General Donald Bolduc, who is running to serve as a U.S. Senator from the state of New Hampshire, and retired Lt. Gen. William G. Boykin, the executive vice president of the Family Research Council. As one of the various issues raised, the letter described China as the largest outside threat to the U.S. and called for levying sanctions and restrictions in order to defend national interests and counter China's "world domination goal." The retired military officials advocated for building a border wall. "Sovereign nations must have controlled borders," they wrote. Regarding the Democrat-backed elections-related legislation which was approved by the House earlier this year without any GOP support, they warned that, "H.R.1 & S.1, (if passed), would destroy election fairness and allow Democrats to forever remain in power violating our Constitution and ending our Representative Republic." They expressed opposition to the idea of the U.S. participating in an Iran nuclear deal and called for nixing "the corrosive infusion of Political Correctness into our military which damages morale and war fighting cohesion." |

| #9 When the political officers said bad things about Trump, the media announced it from the rooftops 24/7. Now... crickets. It doesn't really matter. This country is in its death throes and it is just waiting until shit goes kinetic. |

| #8 A significant percent of new Republican politicians are retired military, Dron. Why start a new party — which historically hasn’t worked well in America — when Donald Trump’s party is eager to bring them in? |

| #4 How about they form a separate political party? With retired [and serving personnel] as members? The serving personnel would have to be covert about it, but once the numbers are sufficient it won't matter. Form an All-American political party consisting only of retired personnel, veterans, LEOs from every agency screwed by the liberals, troopers, grunts, everyone and their families. Recruit good managers, techies, muscle, campaign and try and get serving personnel covertly on board. Go guerilla and hide your members' numbers and names for as long as you can. The resentments will only grow among nationalists for the next ten years, so use that. Try and reach at least a half of the nation's fighting forces [even if outed, they cannot be all replaced overnight by the brass with trannies and fruit pulp] onboard. Arrange for speeches, events and meetings where soldiers can voice their opinions alongside; safe spaces for patriots, community security for each other, escalate to 'peaceful' protesters. The money may be hard. At first. But with time funds will come too. Build a party that can play the game, promise realistic taxes, an end to appeasement and apology, security to industry and free enterprise, and replace the GOP cowboys with an alternative that has hair on its chest. I know. I sound infantile. Wishful thinking at this point. [In India, it would absolutely rock with the voter.] |
