Recent news of a new political warfare exercise to block a constitutional transition of presidential power has thrown more light on well-connected radical lawyers and their powerful network inside the Justice Department and Pentagon. The war game is part of the 2024 Democracy Futures Project, a revival of a 2020 exercise called the Transition Integrity Project. The 2020 exercise called for a military coup against Trump if his election was certified. A revived exercise, involving many of the same people, is calling for a coup again in the 2024 election, while fanning public fears that it is Trump who would stage the coup.
The Center for Security Policy’s Senior Analyst for Strategy, Dr. J. Michael Waller, formerly CIA, spent an afternoon with Tucker Carlson to discuss the 2020 project and efforts this year to disrupt the 2024 American presidential election.
The 2020 scenarios, Carlson summarized, were “Elect our guy, or America falls apart and people die. … the assessment was clear. You could not allow Donald Trump to win or else America would end.”
The scenarios worked out a military coup against Trump if he won the 2020 election. And similar blueprints have been worked out for this coming November, December, and January.
Waller: “[This is] legal insurrection because they’re doing this now through lawfare. They’re doing it through Georgetown University Law Center. That’s the premier law school in Washington, DC. It’s a feeder school to the Justice Department. It’s a feeder school to Supreme Court clerks. Right into the whole intelligence community. And this stuff is being planned there.”
“Wargaming out military coups against a sitting president. First after a disputed election in 2020 and now, in 2024, being the host of an entire project to unseat a president who they agree would have been legally and clearly elected by a majority of the public and electoral votes."
Waller: “We have a good opportunity right now because we have a lot better lay of the land than back in 2020. Not much attention was paid to the Transition Integrity Project. It operated semi-secretly. Now it’s come out of the closet and we know who more of the characters are. We’ve had four years to look at who these actors are and how they operate. We know a lot more about their game plan. They’ve gotten careless in a lot of areas."
...each one perfectly tailored to fit someone’s worldview.
"Propaganda has always existed. In ancient times, a town crier would climb on a stump and deliver whatever the ruler decreed. But at least everyone heard the same lies. Now we each get custom-fitted delusions, perfectly calibrated to our psychological profile.
"The algorithm has become our leash, and we mistake the length of chain for freedom.
"[Every customized opinion] belongs to someone who considers himself well-informed, rational, and awake to what’s really happening. Each one thinks the others are deluded, manipulated, or evil. Each one has evidence that supports his worldview. Each one feels like the protagonist in his own story.
"They can’t all be right. But they can all be wrong."
