Wondering if Nancy was born rich, and without checking I guess ‘yes’, but am agnostic. If ‘no’, then I observe that politics seem rewarding by pecuniary compensation as opposed to perhaps just by happiness from social service. Speaking of service, a new revelation, and ‘whoa’ if true. I cannot tell if true, the event in question, what in-context, and whether interpretation valid. If true, the facts, and context not twisted beyond recognition, and interpretation valid, then seems the boyz play well together, like a bunch of puppies of the same litter. Domestically, onward to 2022 / 2024. Globally, forward to 2024 / 2025 / 2026 / 2032 / 2049. zerohedge.com Book Reveals Gen Milley Secretly Sabotaged Trump, Called China, Sparking Talk Of Treason Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley - who just facilitated the transfer of billions of dollars of US military hardware to America's enemies during the botched Afghanistan pullout - engaged in a 'top-secret' mission to undermine President Trump's ability to order military strikes or launch nuclear weapons following the Jan.6 Capitol riot, according to a new book by Bob Woodword and the Washington Post's Robert Costa. Milley's treasonous effort allegedly stemmed out of fears that Trump could 'go rogue,' according to CNN. "You never know what a president's trigger point is," said Milley - who just separated an entire family of Afghan civilians from their mortal coils in a haphazard drone strike. Milley took extraordinary action, and called a secret meeting in his Pentagon office on January 8 to review the process for military action, including launching nuclear weapons. Speaking to senior military officials in charge of the National Military Command Center, the Pentagon's war room, Milley instructed them not to take orders from anyone unless he was involved. -CNN "No matter what you are told, you do the procedure. You do the process. And I'm part of that procedure," said Milley, unconstitutionally, before going around the room and 'looking each officer in the eye, asking them to verbally confirm they understood.' "Milley considered it an oath," wrote the authors. Meanwhile, Milley also had two 'back-channel phone calls' with China's top general in the waning days of the Trump administration. Woodward and Costa also write that 'some might contend that Milley had overstepped his authority and taken extraordinary power for himself,' but he believed his actions were 'a good faith precaution to ensure there was no historic rupture in the international order, no accidental war with China or others, and no use of nuclear weapons.' What's more, Milley reportedly told China he'd warn them if the United States was going to attack! "General Li, you and I have known each other for now five years. If we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time. It’s not going to be a surprise." The book also claims that Trump signed a military order after he lost the 2020 election to pull the US military out of Afghanistan by January 15, 2021 - days before he left the White House. The memo, drafted by 'two Trump loyalists,' was reportedly nullified, "but Milley could not forget that Trump had done an end run around his top military advisers," and "felt no absolute certainty that the military could control or trust Trump and believed it was his job as the senior military officer to think the unthinkable and take any and all necessary precautions" according to the book. Milley's actions against a sitting president have sparked outrage and calls for his ouster. Perhaps if Trump runs (and wins) in 2024, he'll surround himself with less treasonous advisers.

Nancy is in-on-it, according to the book I wonder what else was communicated with the China China China, as opposed to the Russia Russia Russia. Why call China and not Russia? Unless Milley also called Russia? Or Trump is genuinely viewed by Pelosi / Milley as Russia-friendly? I guess in a good scare for the world China would cut off all supplies to USA, either leveraging ready excuse, or just as a reaction to near-war, and free-trade ends with sellers no longer free to trade. At that instant, Nasdaq goes to zero, and true harm crystallized, and USA at fault. Russia is not in a position to do such harm without actually actively doing something akin to going weapons-free from stockpile, firstly on near-Russia in the western direction, to clear the field and simplify the simultaneous equations, so to speak. Wonder how many cars can be made wherever if China stopped shipping circuit boards with basic chips and wire harnesses and and and tires for automotive industry? Am speculating. We wait for the book’s PR interviews. If a Hollywood movie, the script would have veered towards a proto-coup. In any case, if either USA or PRC fragile, the planet is fragile. They should play within care. In any case, small wonder China China China now targeting to achieve qualitatively-superior and effective (by MIRV-ing) quantitative-parity nuclear-stance, just in case 2024 => 2026 = 2032 => 2049 gets more complicated than necessary. 2024 is being set up and shaping up to be exciting, and 39 months to go, and Biden would not run. Milley was motivated to contact Beijing the second time in part due to a Jan. 8 call with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who had asked the general what safeguards were in place to prevent an "unstable president" from launching a nuclear strike, the report said, citing a transcript of the call. "He's crazy. You know he's crazy," Pelosi told Milley in the call, according to the report. According to the cited call transcript, the general replied, "I agree with you on everything." reuters.com U.S. top general secretly called China over fears Trump could spark war -report Reuters September 15, 20213:32 AM HKTLast Updated 2 hours ago WASHINGTON, Sept 14 (Reuters) - The U.S. top general secretly called his Chinese counterpart twice last year over concernsthen-President Donald Trump could spark a war with China as his potential election loss loomed and in its aftermath, the Washington Post reported on Tuesday. U.S. General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, called General Li Zuocheng of the People’s Liberation Army on Oct. 30, 2020 - four days before the presidential election - and again on Jan. 8, two days after Trump supporters led a deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol, the paper reported. In the calls, Milley sought to assure Li the United States was stable and not going to attack and, if there were to be an attack, he would alert his counterpart ahead of time, the report said. The report was based on "Peril," a new book by journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costa, which they said relied on interviews with 200 sources and is due to be released next week. Milley's office declined to comment. Representatives for Trump could not immediately be reached. Asked about the report by reporters traveling with President Joe Biden aboard Air Force One, White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre declined to comment and referred them to the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Defense Department. The Republican Trump named Milley to the top military post in 2018 but began criticizing him, as he has other appointees and former staffers, after losing the November election to Democrat Joe Biden and left the White House on Jan. 20. Milley was motivated to contact Beijing the second time in part due to a Jan. 8 call with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who had asked the general what safeguards were in place to prevent an "unstable president" from launching a nuclear strike, the report said, citing a transcript of the call. "He's crazy. You know he's crazy," Pelosi told Milley in the call, according to the report. According to the cited call transcript, the general replied, "I agree with you on everything."
