Obama purges U.S. military command
Several days ago, FOTM’s
lowtechgrannie posted a video of
a media rarity — a reporter who doesn’t toe the party line and isn’t
afraid to speak the truth. He’s Fox19 Cincinnati news anchor and
investigative reporter Ben Swann.
At the end of the video, Swann noted that in the space of less than one month after the 7-hour Islamic
terrorist attack of September 22, 2012, on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, four high-level U.S. military
flag officers
had been removed, for one ostensible reason or another. The four are
Generals Petraeus, Allen, and Ham, and Admiral Gaouette. (In the U.S.
military,
flag officers
are general officers in the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps,
and Coast Guard of such senior rank that they are entitled to fly their
own flags to mark where the officer exercises command.)
Swann withheld speculating on what this quite unprecedented attrition
of senior U.S. military officers means. But this attrition cries out
for some effort at explanation, no matter how speculative.
We’ll begin with the facts that we’ve been told.
1. General David Petraeus
Gen. Petraeus and Paula Broadwell
A highly-decorated four-star general who had served over 37 years in the U.S. Army, 60-year-old
David Petraeus
had been Commander of the International Security Assistance Force;
Commander of U.S. Forces Afghanistan; 10th Commander, U.S. Central
Command; and Commanding General of Multi-National Force – Iraq who
oversaw all coalition forces in Iraq.
On September 6, 2011, Obama recruited Petraeus to be Director of the
Central Intelligence Agency. A week before, in anticipation of that
appointment, Petraeus had retired from the U.S. Army.
Petraeus lasted 14 months as CIA director.
On November 9, 2012, he resigned from the CIA, citing his extramarital affair with
Paula Broadwell, a married woman who is the principal author of Petraeus’ biography,
All In: The Education of General David Petraeus.
Petraeus claims that the affair had begun in late 2011 when he was no
longer an active duty military officer, and ended in the summer of 2012.
The affair reportedly was discovered in the course of an FBI
investigation into harassing emails that Broadwell had been sending to
Jill Kelley, a Tampa socialite and a longstanding family friend of the Petraeuses whom Broadwell perceived to be a romantic rival.
2. General John R. Allen
Gen. Allen (l); Jill Kelley (r)
A four-star general of the U.S. Marine Corps, 58-year-old
General John Allen
had succeeded Petraeus as Commander of U.S. Forces Afghanistan on July
18, 2011. He was nominated to be NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander,
Europe, pending confirmation by the United States Senate.
As part of the fallout of the Petraeus-Broadwell affair,
correspondence between Allen and Jill Kelley
also came to light. The FBI reportedly uncovered 20,000 to 30,000 pages
of correspondence — mostly email — between Allen and Kelley from 2010
to 2012. Reportedly, their correspondence was “flirtatious” and
“inappropriate” as Allen and Kelley are both married, but not to each
other. (Good grief. How could a 4-star general even have so much free
time as to write 20,000 to 30,000 emails in the space of two years to
ANYONE?)
On November 13, 2012, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta suspended Allen’s confirmation hearing,
pending investigations into the general’s “inappropriate communication”
with Kelley. Panetta also requested Congress to speed the confirmation
of General
Joseph Dunford to take over as commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan. In effect, not only will Allen
not be promoted, he has lost his present command post in Afghanistan.
3. General Carter F. Ham
U.S. Army General Carter Ham
A
well-decorated U.S. Army general, 60-year-old Ham became Commander of U.S.
Africa Command (AFRICOM) on March 8, 2011.
U.S. AFRICOM is one of nine Unified Combatant Commands of the U.S.
Department of Defense (DoD). As one of six that are regionally focused,
AFRICOM is devoted solely to Africa. James S. Robbins of
The Washington Times writes
that Gen. Ham “is a very well regarded officer who made AFRICOM into a
true Combatant Command after the ineffective leadership of his
predecessor, General William E. ‘Kip’ Ward.”
On October 18, 2012, in a DoD news briefing, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced that Gen. Ham was relieved fired: “Today I am very pleased to announce that President Obama will nominate
Army Gen. David Rodriguez to succeed Gen. Carter Ham as commander of U.S. Africa Command.”
According to
Joint doctrine,
“the tour length for combatant commanders and Defense agency directors
is three years.” But Gen. Ham had only been in the commander position at
AFRICOM for a year and a half and the informal word was that he wasn’t
scheduled to rotate out until March 2013.
Pat Dollard of BareNakedIslam
claims that the scuttlebutt is that, on September 11, 2012, Gen. Ham
had received the same e-mails the White House received — from our people
in Benghazi, requesting help/support as the terrorist attack was taking
place. Ham immediately had a rapid response unit ready and communicated
to the Pentagon that he had the unit ready. Dollard writes:
“General
Ham then received the order to stand down. His response was to screw it,
he was going to help anyhow. Within 30 seconds to a minute after making
the move to respond, his second in command apprehended General Ham and
told him that he was now relieved of his command.”
Gen. Ham’s “second in command” is not named. The Pentagon’s official line is that Ham had retired.
4. Rear Admiral Charles M. Gaouette
Rear Admiral Charles Gaouette
The recipient of various personal
decorations and unit awards, including the Vice Admiral James Bond
Stockdale Award for inspirational leadership in 2003, Rear Admiral Charles Gaouette was promoted to Commander of
Carrier Strike Group 3 (aka John C. Stennis Carrier Strike Group) in April 2012.
Carrier Strike Group 3 is one of five U.S. Navy carrier strike groups
currently assigned to the U.S. Pacific Fleet. U.S. Navy carrier strike
groups are employed in a variety of roles that involve gaining and
maintaining sea control and projecting power ashore, as well as
projecting naval airpower ashore.
The aircraft carrier
USS John C. Stennis is the strike group’s current flagship, and as of 2012, other units assigned to Carrier Strike Group 3 include
Carrier Air Wing Nine; the guided-missile cruisers
USS Mobile Bay and
USS Antietam; and the ships of
Destroyer Squadron 21, the guided-missile destroyers
USS Wayne E. Meyer,
USS Dewey,
USS Kidd, and
USS Milius.
Carrier Group Three formed the core of the naval power during the initial phase of
Operation Enduring Freedom
in 2001. “Operation Enduring Freedom” is the official name used by the
U.S. government for the War in Afghanistan, together with a number of
smaller military actions, under the umbrella of the Global “War on
Terror”. On 16 July 2012, the U.S. Department of Defense announced that
the scheduled deployment of Carrier Strike Group Ten was advanced by
four months, with its anticipated area of operation shifting from the
U.S. Seventh Fleet in the Western Pacific to the U.S. Fifth Fleet in the
Persian Gulf and North Arabian Sea. On 27 August 2012, four months
ahead of schedule, Carrier Strike Group Three departed for an
eight-month deployment to the U.S. Fifth Fleet under the command of Rear
Admiral Charles M. Gaouette.
On October 27, 2012, the
commander of the U.S. Fifth Fleet, Vice Admiral John W. Miller, ordered
the temporary re-assignment of Rear Admiral Charles M. Gaouette pending
the results of an investigation by the Naval Inspector General. Gaouette’s
chief of staff, Captain William C. Minter, will lead the strike group
until the arrival of Rear Admiral Troy M. (“Mike”) Shoemaker, who will
assume command of the strike group.
Tom Lombardo writes for the Navy Times, Oct. 27, 2012, that
Adm. Gaouette was relieved, mid-deployment, and is accused of “inappropriate leadership judgment,”
according to a Navy official familiar with the case. Gaouette was told
to go home — to return to the Carrier Strike Group’s homeport in
Bremerton, Washington, until the investigation is complete.

There you have it. Within two months after the Benghazi attack, four senior U.S. military officers were purged:
- Gen. Ham, on October 18.
- Adm. Gaouette, on October 27.
- Gen. Petraeus, on November 9.
- Gen. Allen, on November 13.
Ostensibly, Petraeus’ “retirement” and Allen’s suspended promotion
are due to both men’s moral conduct. But surely we are not so naive as
to think that Petraeus and Allen are the only U.S. military officers
who’ve ever committed adultery or written flirtatious email. As for
Ham’s “retirement” and Gaouette’s “temporary re-assignment”
(reassignment to what?), there is not even a whisper that either man’s
morals or personal conduct is at issue.
So what should we make of all this? Is it all just coincidence or something more sinister?
Ann Barnhardt, in
her blog of Nov. 13, 2012, calls it Obama’s “night of the long knives.”
The last step in Hitler’s quest for total, dictatorial power was the
purging of the German military of any factions that were in any way
autonomous and not 100% loyal to him, specifically the SA
(Sturmabteilung or Storm Detachment). The SA was run by Ernst Rohm. On
June 30, 1934, the “Night of the Long Knives” was executed when Hitler
had Rohm and the rest of the SA leaders killed. Hitler publicly
explained that the purge was executed because of sexual perversion in
the ranks of the SA who were “plotting” against him.
Barnhardt writes:
And now, the Obama putsch regime is
purging them and anyone else they deem to be a threat. It won’t surprise
me if Petraeus is indeed court martialed and stripped of his pension,
because that is what the rest of the flag officer corps fears more than
death. Make an example of Petraeus, and maybe Allen, and that will whip
the rest of them into line.
This process of a totalitarian
oligarchy constantly purging its own ranks in fits of paranoia and
demands for total personal loyalty is as old as the hills. Lenin and
Stalin eventually murdered almost every person that entered their
inner-circles. Same with Mao. Same with Saddam Hussein. Same with the
three Kims in North Korea. Beyond the Night of the Long Knives, Hitler
was also having his own people killed continuously.
Just as the Night of the Long Knives
in ’34 was just the beginning, so too is this situation in the former
American republic just the beginning.
Writing for
Veterans Today,
Gordon Duff has an even more provocative take on the four military officers:
The decision [to fire Admiral
Gaouette] was made based on a conversation with the Secretary of Defense
who, at the end of the talk, believed Gaouette was part of a group of
military officers who have been under suspicion for planning a “Seven
Days in May” type overthrow of the US government if President Obama is
re-elected.
This is not conjecture, dozens of key
officers face firing, hundreds are under investigation, all with direct
ties to extremist elements in the Republican Party and the Israeli
lobby.
Reports received are sourced at the
highest levels of the Pentagon and indicate that the administration has
been aware of these plans for months.
Whatever the truth, one thing of which we can be sure is that the
firings of three generals and an admiral have something (or everything)
to do with the Benghazi attack. It’ll be interesting if the
newly-elected 113th U.S. Congress will conduct serious investigations
and hearings on Benghazi, although Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida) is
already on record as being
opposed to an independent investigation.
U.S. Air Force
In 2011, 157 U.S. Air Force officers were fired on the eve of their retirement, to avoid paying their pensions.
Joshua Flynn-Brown and Kyndra Miller Rotunda write in
The Wall Street Journal
of December 28, 2011, that the “relieved” officers included pilots
flying dangerous missions. According to Department of Defense
Instructions, those within six years of their 20-year retirement (with
no disciplinary blemishes on their record) have the option to remain in
service. Nevertheless, the Air Force terminated airmen a few years away
from retirement
en masse, citing budget constraints.
One
of the exemplary “relieved” officers is Maj. Kale Mosley (photo to
right), an Air Force Academy graduate and a pilot who has flown more
than 250 combat missions. He deployed to Libya in the summer of 2011
with 30 hours notice. When he returned, the military immediately sent
him to Iraq. Just as he was boarding the plane for Iraq, the Air Force
gave him his walking papers, effective Nov. 30. Maj. Mosley, the father
of a toddler and a newborn, will not receive a pension or long-term
health-care benefits for his family.There was briefly a law that allowed
people who left the military short of twenty years to get prorated
pension and health care benefits, but it expired in 2001.
( I found a Kale Mosley on LinkedIn, who identifies himself as a
Multiengine Transport Instructor Pilot in Wichita, Kansas Area. ~Eowyn)

Legal and Policy Center filed an official complaint with the IRS in May
2011 asking why the foundation was being allowed to solicit
tax-deductible contributions when it had not even applied for an IRS
determination. In a New York Post article dated May 8, 2011, an officer
of the foundation admitted, “We haven’t been able to find someone with
the expertise” to apply for tax-exempt status.
