MRFF’s Mikey Weinstein Interviewed by National Journalist Nina Burleigh on Hegseth’s Summoning of 800 Generals and Admirals to Quantico
National politcal journalist Nina Burleigh has covered MRFF many times over the years for Newsweek.
Now, in a must-read interview of Mikey Weinstein for her Substack “American Freakshow” — a special Friday edition because, as she explains, “we’re not waiting until Tuesday to figure out what fresh hell is brewing” — she wants to know: “What is Pete Hegseth Up To?”

“It’s a roundup?”
Like a herd of cows, get ‘em all in one place for the branding. Can’t exactly do that over zoom now can we?
The brand is, as you know, MAGA – Make ARGENTINA Great Again. Trumptie just gave Elon’s chainsaw buddy 20 thousand million of your dollars! Yep, $20 billion dollars while America’s farmers struggle against Trump’s penguin tariffs, file bankruptcy, lose the homestead.
Not a bad return. Get on stage with a Trump ass licker and present the ass licker (Musk) an $800 dollar chainsaw in a poorly scripted parody on “cutting government jobs,” and it nets you $20 billion dollars! Hell, that’s way better than hitting the biggest lottery this country has ever had! But the MAGA crowd loved it, cheering him on. Now that’s power when you can fuck over someone right to their face and they thank you for it while cheering you on!
But, um, hey farmers. Who did you vote for? What’s that? I didn’t quite catch that, your voice was a little muffled.
Like a cancer patient celebrating weight loss!
Fucking MAGATs are the dumbest mother fuckers on the planet! Homo Stupidimus. A completely different species! Could also be listed, in taxonomical terms, as “Homo Inflictimus,” inflicting havoc and chaos on everything they touch.
And now 800 General Officers are being called in to be branded and handed a loyalty oath to sign.
“I pledge allegiance to the slug, of the United States of America.
And to his minions, for which we stand,
arm in arm abreast.
We’ll all join hands in kleptocracy,
and fuck over all the rest.
We’ll lead them with a couraged charge, from the rear we order a hit.
And if they die in foreign lands,
we don’t really give a shit! “
Good luck with that GOs! Let’s see how you do. I’m betting most will sign the pledge. Right out of Hitler’s play book. You know, power and personal gain is an addictive aphrodisiac! High on power. Let’s see how leadership defines “selfless service.”
The aftermath? “I had to sign it to protect the men and women I lead. I did it for them,” as the spin machine winds up.
The military votes Republican by a very wide margin. Careful what you ask for. “You just might get it!”
War on Portland, National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7), Stephen Miller on record stating “This is the first time in American history that there is an all-of-government effort to dismantle left wing terrorism”….
Yeah, Steve-o, first time because it’s called fascism and until you and your orange hued manchild took power no one did such a thing because that is not how democracies work.
I refuse to be quiet because if the FOTUS admin wants you they will take you. Don’t believe me? Check with the citizens of our country who’ve been harmed and detained for the crime of being a person of color and/or speaking with an accent.
Jolly Good Ginger put out a call to all veterans. Guess there’s some sort of virtual rendezvous going on today, I think. My internets is not the best so I’ll just read up on what they talked about after the event is over.
At any rate, there is no crisis coming. It’s “The Crisis is Here!!!!”
There is some small vestiges of hope. FOTUS admin cancelled Kimmel, the American people spoke, and suddenly ABC announced Kimmel was back. Not so fast says Sinclair, owner of more than their fair share of TV stations. He may be on the lineup for the network but we control the airwaves. Huh said the American public and suddenly Sinclair and Nexstar were saying, OK, he can be on the air.
WE have power when WeThePeople use it together. This is a lesson to inspire. MAGA-sphere messed up. In a game of chicken they blinked. WeThePeople are many and with so many eyes, we do not all blink together.
Yes, lots of work to do but since when has that EVER stopped us Americans from digging in and getting things done?
Does it look scary? Yes to the power of holy crap I need new underwears!
Do our opponents have the tactical advantage (i.e. control of Executive, Legislative, and Judiciary)? yeah, they do. But we have grit and the ablity to kick MAGA out of our mayors seats. We have the ability to take back our school boards and local boards of oversite.
I believe in every single one of our readers who already are doing the work. I believe in the voices who’ve said/done nothing because they’ve been waiting for a sign. Here’s your sign. RESIST!!!! Stay frosty because the FOTUS admin is amping up the rhetoric.
By the way, why all this distraction? Oh yeah, release the Epstein Files. All the files. Now.
Update:
Jolly Good Ginger’s webinar has been moved from their substack to their youtube channel. 5 PM EST – a call out to all veterans although all are welcome.
My internets is at the bottom so I’ll be watching after the fact. For all who were looking for community, you’re welcome. For all who needed direction? You’re welcome. I mean it when I say what I say and this place, what the MRFF and team do matters. A lot.
See you in the funny pages.
Another update: Ugh, the news does come fast and furious some days. Kind of like one might do if they wanted their target dazed and confused. But I digress.
I heard a rumor that Trump himself, yes, your prezinit-wit will crash that meeting, that thirty minute meeting which coulda/shoulda/woulda have been an email, but is live and being hosted by someone’s fave secretary of War, Mr. Whiskey (allegedly) Hegseth!
So, when I first heard about the meeting my thoughts, like so many others, turned to alternate universe Star Trek (late service doggo Dusty was totally a Pine-nut) where all the top brass are in one place to strategize only to be blasted into oblivion? yeah, that movie and yeppers, that scene.
Seriously I am confident Hegseth’s intent on calling the meeting in person is a domination performance piece. The whole look you in the eye kind of thing which is as I said, performative. That said, how confident am I that those who bear ill will towards the USA and our military won’t use this performance as cover for their shenanigans?
Let’s just say if I were someone who hadn’t already sworn an oath to our Constitution I’d be worried about me. Stay frosty kids. We didn’t start this war but by my pretty flowered bonnet I aim to end it.
Grey One, you wrote, “. . . by my pretty flowered bonnet I aim to end it.” You wouldn’t, perchance, be a Browncoat, would you?
J. P.,
😁
We find each other in the most unexpected places.
Grey One, that’s shiny!
Meeting was 1st step in process attempting to get our military to switch loyalty from Constitution to Trump. First try wasn’t as successful as planned, but this is process, not event, & they’ll keep trying, because success here would mean game over for our democracy!! PLEASE respond, MRFF! We need guidance & whatever help you deem appropriate, to expose & intercept this evil process.
