Fox News is told more resignations at the Pentagon could be coming in Mattis' wake.

…Mattis spent 45 minutes with the president, Fox News is told, and did not try to change the president's mind on Syria, despite some reports to the contrary.

In one telling detail, it appears Mattis' resignation letter had already been written when he went to the White House at around 3 p.m. on Thursday with the notice in hand. Fifty copies of his resignation letter already had been printed and were in a folder in his office to be distributed upon his return.

Robert Steele: Mattis Resignation Most Helpful - Reaction of Congress Reveals Degree to Which ALL Members are Bribed and Blackmailed by Zionist Israel and US Military-Industrial Complex
Cultural Intelligence, Ethics, Government, Military, Peace Intelligence


The resignation of James Mattis as Secretary of Defense is both necessary and timely. The Secretary of Defense simply does not "get" that the Koreas will be unified, denuclearized, and demilitarized; that most of not all US bases overseas will be closed starting in Germany and the Italy and Japan; and that it was the Zionists, not Iran, that did the Marine Beirut Barracks bombing. As with so many in Washington, he has reached the limits of his capabilities and is not ready for the brave new world that is going to include extraterrestial disclosure and the termination of mind-control, geoengineering, and the Deep Underground Military Bases (DUMB) that SecDef has probably not been fully briefed on.

SecDef simply does not "get" that President Trump must achieve an end to elective wars and predatory unilateral militarism abroad (as well as CIA's smuggling of drugs, guns, gold, cash, and small children), if he is to get a grip on the US Government that supports multiple elite crime families including the Bush and Clinton crime families particularly.

Of equal value to all of us - and to President Trump - is the "bi-partsian" dismay over this resignation. That tells us all we need to know about the plain fact that most Republican members of Congress are just as worthless as most Democratic members of Congress, and a wholesale turnover of Congress is needed in 2020.

With the exception of myself and a couple of others, none of us being listened to, no one in Washington has conceptualized a Grand Strategy for global engagement (Diplomacy, Development, Defense, & Commerce or D3C), nor specified the steps that need to be taken to both cut the Department of Defense budget in half (half of the budget is documented waste) while also creating a competent combined arms force that can win wars.

Former NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw compared outgoing Defense Secretary James Mattis to "the captain of a sinking ship" and urged all Americans regardless of "party label" to confront President Trump, whom he compared to Captain Queeg.

Queeg is the fictional unstable skipper of the U.S.S. Caine in Herman Wouk's classic World War II novel, "The Caine Mutiny," released in 1951.

"Pres trump getting rid of general Mattis is like the captain of a sinking ship firing the coast guard. this is a time for all hands to be on deck - whatever their party label - and confront captain queeg, er, president trump," Brokaw wrote in a tweet.



pres trump getting rid of general Mattis is like the captain of a sinking ship firing the coast guard.

this is a time for all hands to be on deck - whatever their party label - and confront captain queeg, er, president trump
- Tom Brokaw (@tombrokaw) December 20, 2018


The comparison by the veteran newsman, who anchored the "NBC Nightly News" for 22 years and now serves as a special correspondent for NBC News, comes one day after Defense Secretary James Mattis announced he would resign at the end of February.

Mattis's announcement came after the White House announced plans on Wednesday to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria. There are also reports that Trump wants to withdraw troops from Afghanistan after more than 17 years of war there.

Pentagon officials and members of the foreign policy establishment strongly rejected the proposals, saying it only embolden terror groups in those countries while putting U.S. national security at risk.

In his resignation letter to Trump, Mattis said the president would be better suited with a defense secretary "whose views are better aligned with yours."

Those being seen as potential replacements for Mattis include Fox News senior national security analyst Jack Keane, 75, a former four-star general, and Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.).

Trump Agreed to Syria Withdrawal in Call With Turkish President: Report

President Trump's decision to withdraw American troops from Syria was made without consulting his national security team or allies, according to an Associated Press report. The president reportedly agreed to the hasty pullout during a phone call last week with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, shocking his top aides, who vehemently objected to the decision. The following Thursday announcement stunned the world and prompted the almost immediate resignation of Defense Secretary Jim Mattis. Russian state-controlled television reacted differently, calling the announcement "a total dream come true." The president's order to withdraw troops from Syria comes with profound consequences, including instability in a region still facing ISIS attacks. At the start of this year, ISIS extremists had lost more than 90 percent of their physical territory, but thousands of ISIS fighters remain in Syria and neighboring Iraq. Military officials warn ISIS insurgents could easily move back into the group's former territory if American forces completely withdraw.

Trump throws Kabul, New Delhi under the bus with Afghan withdrawal move

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump is ordering an American drawdown in Afghanistan, bringing home some 50 per cent of the 15000 U.S troops over the next two months. Presidential directive to this effect sent to the Pentagon will effectively throw the Afghan government under the bus, and beyond that, endanger Indian presence, investment, and stakes in the country, since it is expected to open the floodgates for the return of Taliban and other Pakistani terrorist proxies.

Trump's decision to start withdrawing from Afghanistan, which even some American experts described as a defeat, comes on the heels of a similar departure from Syria he announced abruptly over Twitter on Tuesday. The twin disengagements, which are in keeping with the non-interventionist outlook he often expressed during his Presidential campaign and after, led to the resignation on Thursday of Defense Secretary James Mattis

U.S involvement in Afghanistan has lasted 17 years and Trump has often expressed doubts about the utility of American troops there, evidently untutored over the late-1990s vacuum that led to the rise of the Al Qaida and the 9/11 catastrophe, which has been the basis for the interventionist argument espoused by the likes of Mattis and other top U.S Generals, as also many leading U.S Senators, including Republicans.

Obama didn't even call Mattis!
Via The Weekly Standard:

President Barack Obama fired General James Mattis, the head of Central Command, without even calling the general to let him know he was being replaced.

"I am told that General Mattis was travelling and in a meeting when an aide passed him a note telling him that the Pentagon had announced his replacement as head of Central Command. It was news to him - he hadn't received a phone call or a heads-up from anyone at the Pentagon or the White House," Thomas E. Ricks reports.

In another post, Ricks says Mattis was fired because:

Pentagon insiders say that he rubbed civilian officials the wrong way - not because he went all "mad dog," which is his public image, and the view at the White House, but rather because he pushed the civilians so hard on considering the second- and third-order consequences of military action against Iran. Some of those questions apparently were uncomfortable. Like, what do you do with Iran once the nuclear issue is resolved and it remains a foe? What do you do if Iran then develops conventional capabilities that could make it hazardous for U.S. Navy ships to operate in the Persian Gulf? He kept saying, "And then what?"

There is also a belief that Mattis and Obama differed on Iran.

Q

In the media, Sessions, Kelly and Mattis all left under "embattled" relationships with the President. All politically distanced for the next act.

The recused Sessions has handed off to Whitaker for him to take us from planning and into execution.
Mattis is next to step back and hand off as we enter the third stage of this operation, aka The Storm.
Here's to a world without an evil cabal.
One built on peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations and entangling alliances with none.
May blessings rain down upon our initiative. May we continue to ignore the shills as we collaborate with one another here in order to contribute in our small way to our cause.
Let's go!

Hmm, near unanimous vote…

A retired Marine Corps four-star general, Mattis is widely seen as one of the most respected members of President Trump's Cabinet and was confirmed by the Senate on the same day as Trump's inauguration in a near-unanimous vote.

Sending prayers and sympathies to our normie brethren.
The poor souls were still crying over Khashoggi, a man they met only after his death.
Now they have suffer the pains and arrows of Mattis resigning. A man they couldn't name if on jeopardy and given the answer, "Current Sec of Defense, J– M-tt-s."
On top of that, Syrian withdrawal serves as a gallon of salt in their self inflicted wounds.
If the government shuts down tonight, look out. It could be a true suicide weekend.

Q Research General #5618: Digging For Treasury Edition

Thoughts on [D] Day reference…

Let us not forget what was accomplished on D Day, June 6, 1944. In the run-up to Operation Overlord the Allies made two major head fakes. They went to great lengths to convince Hitler's Germany that the coming attack would not be on the beaches of Normandy, but at two other areas; Norway and Pas de Calais. They went as far as creating an entire fake invasion force commanded by General Patton. The used fake radio traffic, fake plans, and fake preparations to convince the best of Germany's intelligence apparatus that Normandy would not be the point of invasion. The only person that seemed to think it would be was Rommel.

We have all been a part of the greatest military intelligence operation in modern world history. Everything - the whole thing could all be a diversion. Then again, maybe it isn't. With Kelly and Mattis leaving, with airports in the UK shutting down, with Mueller coming to a close, with strange goings on in the sky, troops leaving Syria and Afghanistan, with things seemingly coming to an absolute head on the political stage, it seems like now more than ever we should prepare for real action to take place. [They] sense it. They're terrified. And like any frightened animal they will lash out at any perceived threat.

Be safe out there anons. Heads on swivels. Remember… this is not a game.

I seriously doubt that any reasonable individual who makes 75k+ a year would quit their post because they disagreed with their boss. MSM would have you believe Gen Mattis had a tantrum and resigned. I don't believe it. A marine will stay at his post until dead.>>4406968

I don't know if they will judge military tribunals, but as Sessions, Kelly, Mattis left, MSM was screaming about how these level-headed members of his administration leaving was a sign of how irresponsible Trump is. It would be hypocritical for them to accuse them of being partisan now.

Notice a pattern?

Q, the pattern I notice is this. The lefties that surround me interpret each and every thing 'reported' in the (fake, mockingbird) news as signifying that President Trump is alone and out of control.

Yesterday I sat in an hour-long three against one (I was the 'one'), trying to refute nonsensical accusations and flaring tempers.

On a personal note, General Mattis is probably my favorite member of President Trump's cabinet, and now he's resigning.

Let's try another pattern. Perhaps a crumb that's less cryptic and offers a bit less ambiguous encouragement for the plan. No need for disinfo as everything written here is considered a conspiracy.

Am I being a concernfag? Perhaps. Perhaps I deserve to be. I've held the line in my area for over two years and am losing the ability to keep the dam plugged. Let's call a spade a spade.

If someone is willing to take over my shift that would be great. Not only is trolling backfire ineffective it's almost a pathetic response at this point.

it just occured to me one good reason for Mattis to leave is that if the arrests did occur via MIL as we all assumed - having Mattis leave just before the mass arrests would make MSM "blame" harder to pinpoint due to the smokescreen of who the fuck is in charge atm of the military. Easier now more than ever to say "whoops" about getting an arrest or two wrong (whereas if Mattis had stayed then they would have a direct causality link to Trump for it)

I think the frequent cycling of positions is to undercut a key Cabal strategy; compromising people. They spend two years gathering dirt on Sessions and Mattis who do the heavy lifting. 60k indictments / defeating ISIS respectively. Flush them and all the extensive effort of the Cabal. Bring in clean, unexpected executioners.

THEORY

Mattis + top mil generals and good actors (respective positions) stepping down or distancing themselves from Trump to avoid "Trump media optics" playing a part in the arrests/justice?
E.G. desired optics = No taint, no bias, nothing to do with Trumps admin. Distancing. (Plan)?
Probably way off the mark.
Military is simply the only way its that corrupt and dirty.

Senate Dem calls on Mattis to testify following resignation
BY TAL AXELROD - 12/20/18 11:45 PM EST
Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), an Army veteran, called on Defense Secretary James Mattis to testify before Congress regarding the contents of his resignation letter in which he acknowledged policy differences with the president.

Secretary Mattis should testify before Congress and answer questions about the alarming contents of his resignation letter.

- Tammy Duckworth (@SenDuckworth) December 21, 2018
"Secretary Mattis should testify before Congress and answer questions about the alarming contents of his resignation letter," Duckworth said on Twitter. "Congress should use its power to check this President, defend our alliances and hold our adversaries accountable when Donald Trump refuses to."

It is unclear in what format such a testimony would take place.

President Trump said Thursday that Mattis will leave the administration in February. The announcement was met with bipartisan concern on Capitol Hill, as many had seen the former Marine Corps general as a stabilizing force in the White House.

Mattis issued a stunning resignation letter devoid of any praise for Trump and acknowledging multiple policy disagreements they had.

"Because you have the right to have a Secretary of Defense whose views are better aligned with yours on these and other subjects, I believe it is right for me to step down from my position," Mattis wrote in the letter.

Trump and Mattis were known to butt heads on a multitude of issues, including Trump's stances toward NATO and Russia, banning transgender troops from serving in the military, canceling joint U.S.-South Korea military exercises, withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal and deploying troops to the U.S.-Mexico border.

His departure has long been expected after accounts of disagreements with Trump became more widespread and the president suggested a staff shakeup was imminent following November's midterm elections.

However, his blatant disagreements with the president startled many on Capitol Hill.

"I was sorry to learn that Secretary Mattis, who shares those clear principles, will soon depart the administration. But I am particularly distressed that he is resigning due to sharp differences with the president on these and other key aspects of America's global leadership," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said in a statement.

So maybe your all right.
And maybe Pompeo gets another new gig as SECDEF.
Its too bad the Mattis leaving date is February 28. Would have been hillaryous if it was March 14 (Flynny)

<Lemon
>Mattis leaving means we're less safe?
>McCrystal on Mattis - True patriot like Mattis leaving should give pause to EVERY AMERICAN
>Clapper, will American's be less safe with Mattis out?

<Clapper
>Yes. This is disturbing but not surprising. It was only a matter of time before he broke. Letter is classic and will go down in history for not only what it says but what it doesn't say.

<Lemon
>What are you hearing in the National Security and Intelligence Communities?

<Clapper
>Everyone is disturbed. Mattis leaving makes people VERY nervous

<Lemon
>Trump claimed he knows more about ISIS than everyone else
<Clip from 2016 of Trump saying the Generals are not winning because of Obama's interference and insistence on running things from the White House
>Isn't POTUS doing the same thing Obama did? Run things from the White House instead of letting the Generals do their thing?

<Clapper
>Yes, Trump is doing exactly what Obama did and it's ironic. It's completely wrong to assert that ISIS has been defeated, they haven't been.


<Lemon
>What didn't Mattis' letter say?

<Clapper
>Mattis didn't say he was honored to be a part of the Administration. Obvious and compelling evidence against POTUS

<Lemon
>Do you think others will speak out and leave their positions?

–reminds me of Comey asking for someone to stand up against POTUS

<Clapper
>I hope so. I want to footstomp something that Julia [can't make out name] said about her hope that others will not remain silent. Jim still has a service to render to this country and I hope he does and that others will think hard about our values and what's important to this country

<Lemon
>Two years is a long time with this POTUS, who will replace Mattis? Or will he do this all on his own and ignore any advice given?

<Clapper
>Exactly. Stable genius. I don't know who the replacement will be without being a complete yes man. POTUS only wants such people that will salute smartly and march off and do whatever he wants done without any thought of the implications
>The withdraw from Syria is completely reckless

Cabal seems to really be blowing their shit over Mattis resigning.

Establishment Meltdown Over Mattis Resignation: Talk of Impeaching Pres. Trump, Coups and Suicide

The Establishment is melting down after the sudden resignation by Secretary of Defense James Mattis on Thursday. Talk of impeachment, coups, and suicide abound over fears that Mattis was the last 'adult' keeping President Trump in check. Mattis resigned as Trump moved to assert mastery over his presidency this week in key areas after nearly two years on the job.

Pelosi: I'm 'Shaken' by Mattis Resignation - He 'Was a Comfort to Many of Us'

During a press conference on Thursday, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said she is "shaken" by the news that Defense Secretary James Mattis is resigning and characterized Mattis as "a comfort to many of us as a voice of stability in the Trump administration."

Pelosi said, "I'm shaken by the news because of the patriot that General - Secretary Mattis is. I think that everybody in the country should read his letter of resignation. It's a letter of great patriotism, respect for the president, but also a statement of his values, where he talks about the strength of our nation is '[inextricably] linked to the strength of [our] unique and comprehensive system of alliances' that we have...it's a beautiful letter about, again, our values as a nation, in terms of our national security. Written by a patriotic American, who was a comfort to many of us as a voice of stability in the Trump administration."

GOP Rep. Kinzinger: Afghanistan Drawdown Will Lead To 'Major Consequences'

On Thursday's broadcast of CNN's "AC360," Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), a veteran of the Afghanistan War, criticized the drawdown of troops in Afghanistan as one that will lead to "major consequences" and stated that "the military is absolutely disheartened by this."

Host Jim Sciutto asked, "[I]s America less safe today, with General Mattis' departure, but also the decision to withdraw troops from Syria, and now to draw down troops from Afghanistan?"

Kinzinger responded, "Yes. ... I think - does that mean tomorrow something bad's going to happen? Hopefully not. But what it does mean is Syria now is going to be given over to the Russians, and they're emboldened. It's given to the Iranians. Assad's emboldened. ISIS, which is not destroyed, is going to go recruit a whole bunch more people because they just vanquished the United States of America. The president who ran on being this real tough guy, that's going to just destroy ISIS gave up, it feels like. And then with these rumors about Afghanistan, you know, it's unbelievably - at a time when we're supposed to be negotiating with the Taliban, that maybe he would signal withdrawal? That - I mean, anything you know about instruments of power and how diplomacy works, it doesn't work by removing the military threat. ... There's going to be major consequences to this."

He later added, "I'll tell you, the military is absolutely disheartened by this. I mean, I'm hearing it from my friends, a lot of, what is the president thinking?"

I do notice a pattern actually. It is pretty simple. You promise a bunch of bullshit and then never deliver. Is the bill going to pass the senate? Are we going to get a wall or not? Or I should say, are we going to get 20% of a wall or not, since that's all this bullshit bill would fund anyway, even if it did miraculously pass.

3. Guess this Mattis meme didn't age well.
Methinks its not that their jobs are done.. Kelly, Mattis, etc its they are jumping ship before the house starts subpeoning Potus's maids to talk about his pooping habits and state of WH toliets in January.

POTUS always wanted Prince's plan. Mattis/pentagon brass fought against it.

Hence the stalemate, got nothin to show for it, Afghanistan situation. Whether Mattis was comped, stubborn, or old school, doesn't matter. The fact is, he has refused to embrace a different tactic.

repost from late lb

sundance nails the Mattis "resignation"

The move makes sense on multiple levels. President Trump has been executing a policy, a clear doctrine of sorts, where national security is achieved by leveraging U.S. economic power. It is a fundamental shift in approach.

Initially, the traditional military interventionist approach couldn't just be reversed or dispatched; and James Mattis was the bridge to a path forward. Toward that end President Trump remove military constraints, allow rules of engagement that were much stronger, and let Mattis work on confronting and stamping out terror threats. In essence, an aggressive "lets get this over with" approach.

However, that strong-arm military approach cannot continue indefinitely because it will never end. War and intervention have a history of unnecessarily expanding, if not constrained. The war machine turns into a military business.

President Trump wants U.S. troops brought home from all the "stupid wars"; and as a consequence the time for Defense Secretary Mattis was sure to come to an end.

The Trump Doctrine of using economics to achieve national security objectives is a fundamental paradigm shift, history provides no reference.

Just like the demanded restructuring of NATO, removing troops from Syria and likely Afghanistan will run counter to the interventionist policies of those who advocate for military deployments; and also the benefactors on the business end of the military industrial complex.

Yes, it's time for a shift.

Everyone seems to be a bit uneasy.
Calm your minds.
Mattis leaving marks the end of ISIS and presence in Syria meaning Cabal strings there cut. Russia/Assad were fighting against a coup because Assad refused to let a pipeline go through his country from Gulf to EU. Russia backed Assad to protect their oil trade with EU. ISIS a creation to destabilize Syria and remove Assad. That failed and now the whole shit is done.
That is why Mattis can walk away. That is why his letter seems the way it does. Media will eat it up and spin it to look like Mattis left because of what Trump has done with "allies" (what fucking allies). No, it was purposely written that way to really sell the chaos in the administration story....again. Mattis isn't a petty man who would have written that for all the public to see. Trust the plan.
Now remember, January 1st marks the new EO kicking in for MIL and court martial. Seemingly at the same time a lot of big names are swapping out.
Mattis, Kelly, Haley, Sessions. Intermediates also serve a purpose. Think Scaramucci. If you need to reorganize, hire a stand in to clean house then fire them too. Everyone holds the grudge against the short term boss and now the new permanent placement can walk into a well organized and fresh new team to hit the ground running.
It has been done this whole time. It's part of the plan.
Scaramucci was there to clean house and push Spicer out to clear the way for Sanders.
Tillerson was the guy with all the inside sauce on Middle East and once SA handled he was booted and replaced with the guy most perfectly suited to deal with NK and everywhere else the Clowns had their hands, Pompeo.
Sessions did his job, now Whitaker cleans up and shuffles the deck before Barr enters to redeal and play the next game.
So calm your tits, and don't miss the forest for the trees.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_tribunals_in_the_United_States

Military tribunals in the United States are military courts designed to try members of enemy forces during wartime, operating outside the scope of conventional criminal and civil proceedings. The judges are military officers and fulfill the role of jurors. Military tribunals are distinct from courts-martial.

A military tribunal is an inquisitorial system based on charges brought by military authorities, prosecuted by a military authority, judged by military officers, and sentenced by military officers against a member of an enemy army.

The United States has made use of military tribunals or commissions, rather than rely on a court-martial, within the military justice system, during times of declared war or rebellion.

KEY: The JUDGES are MILITARY OFFICERS! Mattis? Kelly?

Mattis Considered Presidential Run in 2020 Back in May, According to Leaked NDA Obtained by Gateway Pundit


Sources with knowledge of the proposed Mattis presidential bid told The Gateway Pundit that the team exploring the possibility found that the odds were favorable for a run in 2020 - but at the time they determined that the optics of a Secretary of Defense campaigning against the same president he served under would not be ideal. This led them to conclude that 2024 would be a better option, unless things changed.

Still, they decided that it would be a wise move to assemble a group of consultants to have on standby just in case, either for 2020 or 2024. One of the consultants that signed the NDA and discussed a Mattis run provided their copy to the Gateway Pundit.

An individual involved with the exploration of a run, who asked that their name be kept off the record, told Gateway that a Mattis run in 2020 was not off the table. The source said that if the Democrats push for impeachment before 2020, the Republicans would have an open primary - and that if that happened, there are "no demographics" that show Pence winning. In the event of impeachment, the consultant said Mattis would have a good chance.

When asked if he would be running as a Democrat or a Republican, the source explained that as a military general, he tends to hold independent political beliefs - but that a third party run would not be viable. They explained that he would most likely run as a Republican, as Democrat voters do not look fondly upon those they believe to be "war hawks."

The source stressed that though they decided at the time that 2024 would be the best timing for a run, there is "a whole metric that changes" as DC is constantly moving and evolving. The source would not rule out that Mattis' recent resignation puts a 2020 run against Trump on the cards.

On Thursday evening, it was announced that Mattis would be resigning from the administration in February, over his political differences with the president.

"Because you have the right to have a Secretary of Defense whose views are better aligned with yours on these and other subjects, I believe it is right for me to step down from my position," Mattis wrote in his resignation letter to President Trump.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_tribunals_in_the_United_States

Military tribunals in the United States are military courts designed to try members of enemy forces during wartime, operating outside the scope of conventional criminal and civil proceedings. The judges are military officers and fulfill the role of jurors. Military tribunals are distinct from courts-martial.

A military tribunal is an inquisitorial system based on charges brought by military authorities, prosecuted by a military authority, judged by military officers, and sentenced by military officers against a member of an enemy army.

The United States has made use of military tribunals or commissions, rather than rely on a court-martial, within the military justice system, during times of declared war or rebellion.

KEY: The JUDGES are MILITARY OFFICERS! Mattis? Kelly?

McConnell 'distressed' over reasons for Mattis resignation
'BY CHRIS MILLS RODRIGO - 12/20/18 09:39 PM EST

"I believe it's essential that the United States maintain and strengthen the post-World War II alliances that have been carefully built by leaders in both parties," McConnell said in a statement. "We must also maintain a clear-eyed understanding of our friends and foes, and recognize that nations like Russia are among the latter."

Thursday's statement is one of McConnell's more critical statements toward Trump since the president's inauguration.

General Mattis More Aligned With Obama Than President Trump

March 26, 2017

Secretary of Defense James Mattis presents a problem for President Trump.

Though the man is undoubtedly a "devil dog", he contradicts President Trump on several key foreign policy and military issues.

General Mattis completely breaks from the president in his support for a US-led NATO. And, this includes placing US troops in Eastern Europe. No harm, no foul, as NATO will soon have to pull its own weight. Further, a NATO-led military would likely fall under American authority. So, if that were the only discrepancies, we might overlook any concerns.

Where President Trump seems willing to work with Russia, Mattis believes Vladimir Putin is a threat to US security.

Even though Mattis opposes the Ayatollah-led government in Tehran he supports President Obama's Iranian nuclear deal.

In a very Leftist move, Mattis favors placing of women into key combat roles. Further, Mattis opposed President Trump's travel restrictions, on Muslims from countries with terrorist ties.

Next, Mattis believes climate change is real. And like Obama, Mattis believe climate change is a threat to national security.

Definitely Spicer. Reince has absolutely no military connection at all so when a 46 year old is getting a (basically) field commission from civilian to officer of the Navy that is something everybody should be very curious about.

It simply doesn't happen. You would have to go back to WW2 to find examples of it. There is 100% something afoot with that and the fact that the recommendation is coming from Mattis, who just "resigned", should also speak VERY loud volumes.

Syria Pull out was huge for Mattis but probably something coming soon about issues with ALLIES. Allies was the crux of the resignation.

ALICE AND MAD HATTER

So Mattis is apparently going to step down. Is he the mad hatter? We know his nickname is mad dog. His old call sign was chaos. Makes sense? In the past, Trump called him more of a liberal. Is he somehow connected to ALICE?

Is Mattis no longer needed in Syria conflict et al now that 45 plans to pull out? Now then why is LG so upset? Does he have investment interests over there? Also, what will those investors in GENIE Energy Ltd do without troops protection- hire their own perhaps. It's all a quandry now isn't it? What are the REAL reasons behind the pushback…..mmmm

I don't like to believe it . But he's on AF1 a lot, and I just can't see Mattis or Flynn or anyone of their calibre saying BOOM or any of those other childish things. To put your hands over your ears and scream ad hominem things at me is also childish. Trump obviously likes the guy, so it doesn't matter if it doesn't fit with your world view. It fits in with his.

Matis

Been trying to tell you Frens Mattis isn't /ourguy/ since this summer.
Connections to Stanford, Bilderberg, Hoover Institute, and was apart of some other cabal meeting this summer (can't think of it just yet) Look past his panty dropping, killer attitude playboy life-style. He believed Russia interfered in our elections. Didn't want Trump to pull from Paris Climate Accord etc. etc. etc. Look into him. And please don't pull the "he's part of the plan" bullshit. Actually look at the guy. You can't constantly pull the wool over your eyes with "the movie" "the plan" when you see something you may not agree with. That's why we are here- for the TRUTH.
Much love, Frens! No homo.

#4399967 at 2018-12-21 01:08:31 (UTC+1)
Q Research General #5609: Thank You For Your Service MadDog Edition

What if . . .

What if 14 months ago Trump and Kushner hatched a very clever plan to conscript the autists on 4Chan as an internet army to spread positive intel about Trump and negative info about his (our) enemies, , all the while making it seem as though highly placed military officers were running the show to instill confidence and hope that we had real muscle in our side for once? Let's say they watched /pol/ capture Shia LaBouef's flag in a very impressive display of hive mind teamwork and wondered how they could harness that intensity of resolve and raw smarts?

So along comes a dinner with Pentagon muckety-mucks in October of 2017, and Trump decides to parlay the gathering into a springboard for the plan. The top military leaders and their spouses are as in the dark about Trump's cryptic and slightly ominous "the calm before the storm" remark as the reporters are, but they don't show it because they're used to the way he talks.

So in late October Jared starts posting as Q on 4Chan, and the rest is history. We all assume it's Flynn or Mattis, or a group of military, but in reality it's just Kushner with Trump's complicity. It would explain a LOT of anomalies; some of them:

1. It's clear that after more than a year of failed promise after failed promise, and nothing of any real import happening (unless you count the continual drip drip of daily losses suffered by our side), there is a lot of unrest and unhappiness amongst the anons. That kind of abysmal track record can no longer be justified by the worn out excuse of "disinformation is necessary." If George Washington had demoralized his troops the way Q has demoralized and abused us, they would all have walked away from Valley Forge , Sun Tzu be damned.

2. It's always seemed incongruous that a serious and highly placed MI commander would use puerile, hackneyed, and ridiculously repetitive and meaningless phrases like,
You have more than you know,
Fight, fight, fight
BOOM! BOOM!
Logical thinking
Future proves the past
Nothing to see here

3. We keep interpreting Trumps actions as 4D chess, but I believe he was going to cave on the shutdown until he saw which way the wind was blowing with his base. He doesn't have great military minds behind him at all; he's just a solitary man fighting a courageous lonely battle with a larping son-in-law.

4. There IS no visible panic, despite Q's claims to the contrary, by anyone in DC. Grahamnesty is back to his old deep state self today, Pelosi celebrating in a bar, Maxine still shooting off her mouth, yada yada. There is no fear, no angst amongst the Dems.

5. There is no Plan, unless you consider that WE are the plan. Why else would Q say big week coming up, or [D]5 and nothing ever comes of it? If there's no Plan with no muscle/NSA intel backup, then Trump and Kushner have no idea what the following week will bring.

I hate to say it, and I can't say I blame Trump, but we've been had. To steal Obama's campaign phrase, "We're the ones we've been waiting for. "

And maybe that's enough, anons. I think it will have to do.

if you think I'm all wet, go back and reread Q's drops from today. They have ZERO meat and are all repetitions or just plain meaningless. Even those of you autists who are adept at spinning, must secretly suspect something is wrong here.

SIX PHASES OF THE "CONTINUUM OF MILITARY OPERATIONS."

Entering PHASE 3=

Planners out operators in. Sessions recused himself so that the stage could be set. Steps back and hands off to Whitaker. Mattis will step back now to let another operator to step up.



Phase 0: Shape the Environment. This phase involves those joint interagency and multinational activities conducted on an ongoing, routine basis to assure or solidify friendly relationships and alliances and/or deter potential adversaries.

Phase 1: Deter the Enemy. This phase focuses on deterring specific opponents by demonstrating the capability and resolve to apply force in pursuit of U.S. interests. These actions will likely build upon Phase 0 activities and may include a show of force or initiatives that would facilitate deployment, employment, and sustainment of additional forces within the region.

Phase 2: Seize the Initiative. Hostilities commence during this phase. Combat power is applied to delay, impede, halt, or dislodge the adversary as well as to gain access to theater infrastructure and enhance friendly freedom of action. Concurrently, assistance is provided to relieve conditions that precipitated the crisis in order to promote stability.

Phase 3: Dominate the Enemy. The focus during this phase is on the exploitation, pursuit, and destruction of the enemy in order to break the opponent's will for organized resistance. Stability operations will also be conducted as needed to facilitate transition to the next phase.

Phase 4: Stabilize the Environment. The priority during this phase will be on stability operations, the reconstitution of infrastructure, and the restoration of services. This phase concludes with the transfer of regional authority to a legitimate civil entity.

Phase 5: Enable Civil Authority. Legitimate civil authorities are enabled in their efforts to provide essential services to the populace. These activities include required coordination activities by U.S. military forces with multinational, interagency, and non-governmental organizations while promoting a favorable attitude among the populace toward U.S. and host nation objectives.

As Q often asked what Sessions and RR Senate confirmation votes were, I thought it was worth reminding myself of Mattis' vote:

98-1*

Mattis was confirmed as Secretary of Defense by a vote of 98-1 in the United States Senate on January 20, 2017. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand was the sole "no" vote.

* However, as Mattis retired from the military in 2013, his nomination required a waiver of the National Security Act of 1947, which requires a seven-year waiting period before retired military personnel can assume the role of Secretary of Defense.The waiver for Mattis passed 81-17 in the Senate and 268-151 in the House.

Q your silence on the Joint Chiefs, Kelly, and now Mattis is DEAFENING.. This place looks and feels more and more like a cult everyday. Some of you will find a way to spin EVERYTHING into "part of the plan" or a movie drama.

I am more convinced than ever that Q is a Psy OP designed to mark and identify the people most likely to engage in armed rebellion and civil war by placating them with bread and circus, that these big happenings are going on and we are privelage to know….

LITERALLY Q was designed to prevent the most likely gun owners (republicans) from getting an armed crowd of 500,000 civilians and just walking into Hillary's NYC home and lynching her, then onto Obama, lynch, Comey, Strozk, Page, Brennan, Clapper , Ohr, Rosenstein and THEIR NIGGER WIVES. AND GIVING THEM A NECK STRETCH.

SERIOUS a yellow vest in America but with GUNS. THIS IS WHAT JEWANON IS HERE TO PLACATE YOU FROM DOING. Not me I'm done I've seen the light, Mattis leaving is my red line. I now am 90%sure Q is a Jew Miller or Kushner here to ensure Trump doesn't have protesting disgruntled Voter base under his administration. We've been Jewd. Now we are on a list that's why Q posts links. to get you dumbasses to comment "Q sent me" now your identifiable as a possible future protester or "lone nut" patsy for the CIA.

Did he send it to himself?

Two envelopes addressed to Secretary of Defense James Mattis and Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson have initially tested positive for the deadly poison ricin at the Pentagon's mail facility, according to a report.
The packages, which were delivered Monday, were intercepted before making it into the sprawling headquarters of the Defense Department in Virginia near Washington, DC, spokesman Chris Sherwood said Tuesday.
They triggered alarms as they underwent a security screening at the off-site mail processing center, according to the Military Times.
A defense official told CNN that the intended recipients were Mattis and Richardson.
"On Monday, the Pentagon Force Protection Agency detected a suspicious substance during mail screening at the Pentagon's remote screening facility," Army Col. Rob Manning, a Pentagon spokesman, said in a statement.
"The envelopes were taken by the FBI this morning for further analysis," he said, adding that all US Postal Service mail received at the screening facility Monday was under quarantine and posed no threat to Pentagon personnel.
The FBI said in a statement that as the envelopes are undergoing further testing, "we will have no further comment."
Ricin, a highly toxic compound extracted from castor beans, has been used in terror plots and is lethal in tiny doses if swallowed, inhaled or injected. It is 6,000 times more potent than cyanide.
If ingested, it causes nausea, vomiting and internal bleeding of the stomach and intestines, followed by failure of the liver, spleen and kidneys, and death by collapse of the circulatory system.

Two Points, Two Illustrations of possible tactics at work:

1: (Disruptive Technology, for our purposes - Tactics) - The idea of something coming into the "established" order of things, and disrupting, confusing, tipping over the apple cart - in a way that the "powers that be" can't deal with.

2: (Drunken Boxing) - A Martial Arts fighting style that can employed to confuse the opponent.
(short description)
Many aspects of drunken boxing are specialized towards deception: continuous bobbing and weaving and slipping, feigning instability and lack of focus, attacking from unusual angles and seemingly weak positions, sudden changes of momentum, compounding multiple attacks with the same limb, use of blind-spots and visual distractions, changing game plans in mid-fight and employing concealed or improvised weapons.

Quite likely we're watching a bunch of Drunken Boxing going on.

POTUS' belief is, if you want our military protection you pay for it. We won't play policeman. We will have the best equipment to kick ass if we need to but we won't get involved in constant wars. Those who have been said to be our allies are really our enemies. They have sucked us into every war since WW2. We don't need friends like that! Mattis didn't approve of Trump involving himself in the potential death penalty case of the Green Beret or creating Space Force. It seems right for Mattis to step away. POTUS is returning the power to the people and that will be his focus for the next 2 years. I don't know what that means but he does

Q Research General #5606: Thank You Mattis! Edition

Interesting take on Mattis from Ace

By the way, there's a speculation that goes around that I think may be true about Trump's relationship with Mattis, McMasters, etc.

The idea is that they try to Option C him.

That's where you know what the President wants, so you write up three options for him. One is his preferred option. But instead of presenting a reasonable plan for accomplishing his preference, you write it up as Option A, which is planned to be abrupt, sudden, destabilizing, and catastrophic as possible, so that no one would actually pick it, even if they were pre-inclined to.

They you present another Option which is an exaggerated, catastrophic version of what you actually want him to do. This is Option B.

Then you present to him Option C, which is a reasonable sounding version of what you want to do.

So you present him these three options. One's what he wants, but in an unacceptable form. One is a grotesque parody of what you want, which is presented to make the version of what you want, Option C, seem much more reasonable and wise.

It's pretty much a forced choice because you've arranged it so that no one would pick anything except Option C.

The Simpsons Movie did a more primitive version of this.

Anyway, what people speculate is that whenever Trump wants something, they present it in the distorted, catastrophic form of Option A– the option written up as severely as possible to dissuade him from picking it.

And the further speculation is that he has figured out they're doing this and just says, "Yeah, good – give me Option A."

Mattis referenced Russia in the same sentence to balance it out. Economic ties and military objectives seem to bifurcate with respect to China a bit more though, as you've noted.

In which case, I'm a little bummed out in all honesty; I'd listened to a lot of Mattis' interviews and I quite liked the guy…

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/defense-national-security/jim-Mattis-mum-on-source-of-mystery-scar#!
Reporters who met with Defense Secretary Jim Mattis Friday at the Pentagon couldn't help but notice he had a small scar over his left eye.
When a reporter asked if he had hit his head, Mattis at first began to joke that he gotten in a bad bar fight, but then just chuckled and declined to answer.
The scar and what appeared to be some trauma to his left eye did not appear serious, but even when pressed, the Pentagon chief declined to reveal whether it was the result of an accident, injury, or medical procedure.
Afterward, his aides insisted the retired four-star Marine general, who will be 68 in September, is feeling fine and not suffering from any major health issues.

What was the date of your article?

https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/jul/8/secret-service-investigating-crash-interstate-66-a/

Fox 5 had reported that one of the drivers involved in the crash was a White House military pass holder, and that a manhunt was initiated after a person fled the scene.

Someone tried to kill Mattis. And you people are trying to smear him with the black eye crap, paint him as a cabal member.

I believe he appeared to be a neocon mainly because he was a supreme advocate for the military and their funding all in order to advance the purpose of kicking ass. Not because he was a neocon war profiteering asshole.
He kicked ass and wanted the best equipment and military members in order to do so.

Its an extremely well worded letter.
He is saying his experience shaped his views on international affairs. An obvious truth.
He is saying someone else might be more aligned with Trump's views. Also something that is likely true.
He is not explicitly saying his views are incompatible with Trump's. However, the media will read into it as if that is the case (they already have) because optically they want to make it look like Trump is a tyrant and no one can get along with him, etc.
Trump and Mattis both know this. Bait.
Mattis can move into another role. MSM has to expend ammunition guessing and targetting the next Sec Def. This is how Trump and the military control the narrative and play 4d chess

Pentagon chief Mattis quits, citing policy differences with Trump

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, a retired Marine Corps general who was known as a stabilizing force in President Donald Trump's Cabinet, will leave his job at the end of February, Trump said in a tweet on Thursday.

Mattis, in resignation letter, lays bare divide with Trump

His departure had been anticipated since Trump announced on Wednesday that he was withdrawing U.S. troops from Syria despite opposition from U.S. allies and top U.S. military officials.

Mattis said in his resignation letter that he was stepping down so Trump could have a defense chief whose views align more closely with his own.

Trump said he would nominate a successor to Mattis shortly.

Mattis joins a long list of former Trump administration senior figures who have either quit or been removed, some unceremoniously like Secretary of State Rex Tillerson who Trump fired via Twitter in March.

Trump's White House has had the highest turnover of senior-level staff of the past five presidents, according to the Brookings Institution think tank.

Speculation that Mattis might not last long in his post grew in October when Trump said in a CBS interview that the general was "sort of a Democrat" and might be leaving.

(CNN)Defense Secretary James Mattis has written a letter of recommendation for former White House chief of staff Reince Priebus to join the Navy as a reserve officer, the Pentagon confirmed Friday.

The program is fairly common practice for the Navy, and has become known as a way for politicians to gain military experience.
"Secretary Mattis agreed to write a letter of recommendation on his behalf. The letter is consistent with applicable standards," said chief Pentagon spokesperson Dana White on Friday.
The Washington Post first reported that Priebus was joining the Navy, citing a memo obtained by the paper.
The process allows for career professionals to contribute their field's experience, but in the capacity of serving in the US military, and those accepted will generally go to Newport, Rhode Island, for two weeks of training.

Exactly. The perpetual hard-on for Mattis by people on this board overlooks these facts.

The necons will not understand that the decision to go to war or use force is NOT the prerogative of the Pentagon or the generals. The people - through their representatives - will decide. Once decided, the generals then kill and blow up until they are told to stop. But the decision to go, stop, withdraw, etc…are POLTICAL decisions to made via the constitutional process.

So fuck all what the "generals" have to say about Syria, including Mattis. When their opinions are needed to supplement the geopolitical decision-making process, then POTUS will get it from them. After which, they can shut the fuck up.

The scaramucci/whitaker play is very effective at disrupting game plans if those plans have been tailored to certain parameters already. ie- whatever supposed weakness Mattis (or anyone else, for that matter) may or may not have had, has been removed from the board, and an unknown quantity has been put in it's place.

To be sure, Trump and Mattis are not in lockstep on the issue. In fact, defeating the Islamic State was just one of three criteria the defense secretary laid out in August to be met before drawing down U.S. troops in Syria. He said at the time that the United States must also train local troops who can assume the role of suppressing the militants, and the United Nations peace process must progress toward a resolution in the Syrian civil war.

A possible interpretation (of any administration resignations in positions that require Senate confirmation) is that Trump wants someone in that particular office that would not have gotten through Senate confirmation before the white hats secured a true majority.

(Although Republicans held a Senate majority, enough Rs were compromised that it was not effectively so, from a white hat perspective.)

If this is correct, it's not to knock Mattis (or anyone else who might resign to make way for a new nominee who couldn't be confirmed before.) I'm sure Trump has chosen good people for his appointments. But sometimes there's a reason for wanting a specific person in a specific office at a specific time, and with the incoming Congress it's possible for Trump to set up the chessboard with more freedom.

(There's also the option of a non-confirmed temporary appointee, not forgetting that maneuver as a way to set up the board)

Also, I have the sense Trump puts particular people in particular places for a stage of events, so someone leaving could mean that the specific skillset or experience or expertise needed for a specific upcoming stage calls for a change in personnel.

And if Mattis does wind up on the tribunal - that would be good! But the timing feels odd for that, I'd expect a January resignation.

Gen. James Mattis is an odd pick for President-elect Donald Trump's new secretary of defense. In stark contrast to Trump's campaign promises to put America first, Mattis has a long history of promoting globalism and perpetual war. Could Mattis be the globalists' Trojan horse, who will ensure the internationalists' gravy train doesn't end?
