Associated Press: “His country trained him to fight. Then he turned against it. More like him are doing the same”
MOUNT OLIVE, N.C. (AP) — The U.S. military trained him in explosives and battlefield tactics. Now the Iraq War veteran and enlisted National Guard member was calling for taking up arms against police and government officials in his own country.
Standing in the North Carolina woods, Chris Arthur warned about a coming civil war. Videos he posted publicly on YouTube bore titles such as “The End of America or the Next Revolutionary War.” In his telling, the U.S. was falling into chaos and there would be only one way to survive: kill or be killed.

I don’t know if I read through the entire article. My phone started to over heat at some point so I turned it off. Yes, I know, tech isn’t the best but it’s what I got. If it’s stupid but it works, it ain’t stupid.
Point being, I read enough to know what I know.
There is arrogance in the Pentagon. For whatever reason those who work there, and have been for a while, get a sense of “Knowing more than others”. And yes, they are privy to a bevy (hee hee, always wanted to use those words together) of facts not available to most citizens. But knowing humans and how they act or react? Based on their responses over the past few minutes, I’d say they can’t admit that they don’t know what they don’t know.
Second – White Supremacy and Christian nationalism isn’t limited to the rank and file. The DOD had information which could have been helpful if placed in the correct hands but wasn’t, not until harm had already occurred. There where humans in the Pentagon who knew information crucial to the success in identifying domestic terrorists trained by the military and poof. The data never got where it needed to be.
I get it, things happen. What shouldn’t have happened is the absolute lack of response. No curiosity of huh, why didn’t that happen. No questioning why their information paths appeared to be blocked. The lack of a thing is sometimes proof a thing exists.
It is my sincerely held belief that the DOD to include the Pentagon have been infested with the very threat We The People are fighting today. My concern is the DOD and Pentagon have wider reach than most and the only reason we are hearing about this stuff (years after the fact) is because some very persistent nontraditional journalists have asked the hard questions.
That’s what I have so far, more questions than answers and a renewed resolve to #AuditAllTheThings #EspeciallyThePentegon
I must confess to a selfish reason to add the second hashtag. Ever since I saw more than one TV show/movie featuring the garden in the middle of the five sided building I’ve wanted to just visit, maybe even meditate for a moment there. I don’t know but from afar it feels sacred. I wonder if it’s the same close up. I’ll never know but a Grey One does ponder.
Business leaders don’t know a lot of things either; yet, they can’t admit that they don’t know a lot of things.
