Obama’s Blueprint for America?

First, let us realize and admit that Barack Obama is not America’s first African-American president; he is America’s first Muslim-American president. His father was a Muslim from Kenya. Barack Obama was raised as a Muslim as a small child in Indonesia. He studied the Koran as a “Jarkata street kid.” Obama has described the Muslim call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on the earth at sunset.”

Barack Obama has been strangely silent about the massive Turkish crackdown after the alleged coup attempt this month. Just days after the attempt, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had over 6,000 people arrested: military, judges, police, academics.

In order to accomplish that massive effort, the Turkish president had to know who all these “dangerous” people were. Was there a list already prepared before the coup attempt? Was the coup staged for a violent takeover of a secular government to be replaced by a Islamo-fascist theocracy?

Could it happen in the United States? It has already started. Obama has purged over 200 senior commanding generals and admirals from the military over five years [IBD, 10/29/13). Retired generals and current senior commanders that have spoken with journalists report that Obama is not only purging the military of commanders they don’t agree with but threaten those still serving to toe the party line.

Lt. General Michael T. Flynn, former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency appointed by Obama, told the story of his experience in his book, The Field of Fight: “We could lose [the fight against ISIS]. In fact, right now, we are losing. To make matters worse, our political leaders insist that the war is going very well, and the scores of professional analysys who know better are being censored when they report the truth to their superiors. I know this story firsthand. I was fired as the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency after telling a congressional committee that we are not as safe as we had been a few years back.”

“Obama seeks to ‘seize control over national security’ and, bypassing Congress, singlehandedly weaken the U.S. military. Obama is purging the military by firing top-level commanders and that his ultimate goal is to ‘destroy U.S. military superiority’ to the ‘advantage of our global enemies,’” Ret. Army Maj. Gen. Paul E. Vallely charged.

However, if you are a civilian employee or political appointee who professed loyalty to Obama’s ideology, you are protected. Witness stakled or non-investigations in Fast & Furious, Benghazi, Obamacare, IRS targeting of Obama enemies, spying on the Associated Press, Veterans Administration maltreatment of veterans, New Black Panther intimidation, NSA spying on Americans, Border Security failures, ad nauseam.

Promises

National security spending made up 20.1% of the federal budge in 2010 but dropped to 15.9% in 2015, a 21% decrease in national security spending. Based on Gross Domestic Product, national security spending dropped from 4.6% to 3.3% over the same period, or a 28% decrease (PolitiFact, 12/14/16).

In 2012, the Army had 570,000 soldiers; by fiscal 2018, the Army will have about 450,000 soldiers: a 21% decrease in the number of soldiers in six years while fighting two wars, the Middle East and Afghanistan.

President Obama is doing to our military what President Erdogan is doing to his government in Turkey. Erdogan pledged to overhaul his Army in response to a failed (staged?) coup. Obama is overhauling the military because our commanders pledged allegiance to the Constitution instead of Obama.

In 2008, when Obama was campaigning for president, he flatly stated, “We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded (emphasis mine).”

What national security objectives call for the dismantling of our military structure?
