THEY\u2019RE NOT IMPEACHING HEGSETH FOR WAR POWERS: THEY\u2019RE REMOVING THE ONE MAN WHO BLOCKS A COLOR REVOLUTION. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Pete Hegseth called Thomas Massie\u2019s impeachment push exactly what it is: \u201ca political spectacle, a personal manifesto driven by ego and resentment. It\u2019s a farce, and it\u2019s a stunt, and everybody knows it.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

@DataRepublican<\/a><\/span> has documented the playbook for months. In her April thread, she wrote: \u201cThe true reason Pete Hegseth is being targeted is because he\u2019s standing between President Trump and a coup. They didn\u2019t go after him because of drinking. They didn\u2019t go after him because of women. They went after him because every color revolution manual ever written says the same thing: you cannot topple a government unless the security forces defect. And a loyal Secretary of Defense is the one person who makes sure they don\u2019t.\u201d She continued: \u201cThis is not my theory. This is theirs. Erica Chenoweth and Maria Stephan\u2014the two most cited scholars in the color revolution field\u2014studied 323 regime change campaigns. Their finding: Security force defections make campaigns FORTY-SIX TIMES more likely to succeed.\u201d She highlighted their own materials: \u201cThe \u2018Democracy Playbook 2025\u2019 \u2014 the same document that teaches \u2018dealing with security forces\u2019 and color revolution case studies \u2014 cites this in footnote 49: \u2018Pete Hegseth had been flagged by fellow service member as possible \u2018Insider Threat\u2019\u2019 \u2014 AP, November 15, 2024. 72 hours after his nomination. In a regime change manual.\u201d On why the system treats him differently from others: \u201cThe color revolution playbook has one tool for security forces: social pressure through professional networks to induce defection. Driscoll is embedded in those networks. He can be pulled away. Hegseth isn\u2019t. He was never attached. The system can’t co-opt him… so its only option is removal. That’s why Driscoll gets 16 Democratic votes and puff pieces. That’s why Hegseth gets grand juries.\u201d In November she tied the current push directly to the strategy: \u201cHEGSETH’S IMPEACHMENT IS THE TROJAN HORSE. TRUMP IS THE REAL TARGET. … Six of eight articles are premised on that President Trump himself issued illegal orders. … The goal of removing Hegseth has always been to remove Trump from office. Hegseth is the opening move. His entire downstream chain of command will be next.\u201d She also stated: \u201cSetting up <\/span>@PeteHegseth <\/a>as scapegoat is one of them\u201d (the few things that make her go scorched earth), and noted that \u201cthe military is subordinate to civilian control. Hegseth destroyed Iran\u2019s military and did so magnificently\"\". Hegseth is not in any reason, shape, or form responsible for carrying out Iran in the first place.\u201d POX OPINION<\/span>: Massie\u2019s lame-duck privileged resolution is the latest legal pressure in that sequence. Democrats have signaled support. The timing is the midterm aftermath. Remove or cripple the Secretary of War who keeps the military following lawful civilian orders, and the playbook\u2019s key precondition is met.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
OPINION: Until we remove all of the RHINOS from the right we will continue to have people like this willing to tear the party apart.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
