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."
Here's a list compiled by Open Source Defense:
-
Repeal Bush 41’s assault weapon import ban
-
Redefine “armor-piercing ammo” to re-allow banned ammo types
-
Redefine 922(r) out of existence
-
Bring back kitchen table FFLs, and make a new internet-sales FFL (this is in the 2017 ATF white paper)
-
Repeal the photos and fingerprints parts of ATF Rule 41F (an Obama-era rule change), so that trusts don’t need photos and fingerprints for their members. (Careful here: Rule 41F also changed “you need CLEO approval” to “you just need to notify your CLEO, but they can’t stop you” — that was a very important positive change to keep.)
-
Expansive allowance for pistol braces. Make it official that anything goes.
-
Grant a blanket lawful purposes exemption for gun possession to people in the country on nonimmigrant visas (tourists, students, etc.)
-
Machine gun amnesty
-
Presumptive approvals for Form 1s and Form 4s. They approve it instantly, and then can claw it back ...
“It is impossible to maintain an integrated multivalent society once neighbors start kidnapping each other's children and murdering them with hand drills, blowing up each other's cultural events, slaying each other's teachers and religious leaders and tearing down their icons. Crucially, it is soberingly worth noting, moreover, that plenty of instances of all those things have occurred already in the West, and all of them have occurred in France alone in the last five years.”
David Betz, Professor of War in the Modern World at King's College London.
Dr. Betz does not mention crimes of rape, perhaps because in France it is so enormously underreported. Only ~6% of victims report to authorities, because of fear of being blamed and charged with Islamophobia or other “hate crime.” Based on these few reported accusations, rape by migrants in France exceeds 10,000 cases in the last five years. Multiply that by the 94% non-reported cases. Sometimes there are witnesses. In ...
The theologian Robert Dabney, in writing against public education, claimed that the half-educated man is worse than the man without any education, for the latter at least knows his ignorance and will look to his betters humbly for guidance, whereas the former thinks he’s educated and proceeds without caution into abject foolishness.
Fast, dumb AI catering to the impatient risks creating a society of not half-educated but entirely pseudo-educated people whose self-appraisal of what they know will reach historic lows proportional to what they actually know.
