U.S. Generals Now Take Action to Watch Obama
WND
“America’s Provisional Leadership Council” will look at major concerns, as outlined by Army Gen. Paul E. Vallely and Air Force Brig. Gen. Charles Jones, in an eight-point paper titled “The Americans Project.”
WASHINGTON – After one of them called for the “forced
resignations” of President Obama and congressional leaders in response to
multiple grievances, including the alleged political purge of hundreds of
senior military officers, two retired U.S. generals are creating a citizens’
commission to scrutinize Obama administration actions on national security and
economic issues.
“America’s Provisional Leadership Council” will look at major concerns, as outlined by Army Gen. Paul E. Vallely and Air Force Brig. Gen. Charles Jones, in an eight-point paper titled “The Americans Project.”
Vallely told WND he sees The Americans Project as a
“citizens’ commission” of prominent Americans to provide advice to legislative
and executive branches of government.
America’s leaders, he said, will be “held to high standards
of performance to solve the nation’s problems of governing. We will scrutinize
and provide guidance to federally elected officials on behalf of the citizens.”
The Americans Project, Vallely added, is a “movement, not a
new party necessarily. We want candidates to run as Americans first before
being a Democrat, Republican or Independent.”
Vallely, who today is chairman of the organization Stand Up
America, served as the deputy commanding general of Pacific Command.
Jones, who is vice chairman of The Americans Project of
Stand Up America, held numerous Air Force command positions including a
tactical fighter wing, a strategic airlift wing and a special operations group.
In calling for the forced resignations of Obama and the
leadership of Congress, Vallely outlined suggestions for nationwide rallies and
said a peaceful “civil uprising is still not out of question.”
The current crop of leaders, he said, must face a “demand
resignation” process, which he explained requires massive grassroots protests
and social networking which he envisions can be undertaken through his organization.
And example of a “forced resignation,” he said, was that of President Richard
Nixon.
“Our federal government continues down the path of
destroying America,” Vallely said. “Americans must now stand up and put America
back on the right track.”
Workable solution
Vallely and Jones in their paper say “The Americans”
leadership has developed workable solutions to “help solve and fix what has
without question stunted our nation’s ability to clearly, legally and
peacefully function as a constitutional republic.”
“Honest, selfless political leadership is the first key to
America’s economic and debt recovery and secure future for all citizens and
their children,” they say. “That means voters must band together and vote for
positive ‘America first’ leadership rather than self-serving greed and
corruption within the two major political parties that have for decades and are
now rapidly tearing the United States of America apart.”
In their paper, Vallely and Jones call for adherence to the
Constitution with strict congressional oversight of all executive actions.
In an apparent reference to the cutback in overall U.S.
military readiness, they call for a strong national defense but stipulate that
“in no way” would the U.S. military ever be used against U.S. citizens, a
reference to a growing concern among many Americans.
The paper decried the historic $17 trillion government debt,
concerns over continued unemployment and excessive tax rates on businesses and
citizens.
Their solutions? Vallely and Jones call for abolishing the
Federal Reserve and the Internal Revenue Service system, the intended result of
which would be that “all political plundering of the peoples’ wealth via
taxation will be stopped.”
In abolishing the Federal Reserve System, all U.S.
government financial and economic functions would be turned back to the U.S.
Treasury.
The IRS would be immediately abolished and replaced by a
sales tax on specified items for partial financing of the U.S. government.
The retired generals condemned the illegal alien “invasion,”
which they said would be stopped with a secured border double fence, calling
for penalties on employers who hire illegal aliens.
“There will be absolutely no jobs, no social services, no
welfare nor medical services allowed to be provided to illegal alien invaders,”
they say, with the exception of emergency medical care only until the illegals
can be deported.
“American jobs are for U.S. citizens, returning military
veterans, part-time high school students and the elderly,” they said. “When
U.S. employers cannot find workers and can fully justify seeking foreign
workers, government permission will be granted for hiring temporary foreign
workers.”
Eliminating agencies
They also called for the elimination and consolidation of a
number of federal agencies, some of which, like the Department of Homeland
Security, they say, have exceeded their authority.
“The DHS with functions for national security and FEMA
(Federal Emergency Management Agency) for emergencies have both grown far
beyond the intentions of reasonable and responsible leadership control,
budgeting, manpower, equipment and facilities,” they say.
“Deceptive political intentions for the potential use of
facilities, weapons, massive purchases of ammunition plus military-type
vehicles and railroad cars are greatly objectionable to American citizens and
an insult to the economic deficit of the nation,” they said.
DHS jobs could be given to the Department of Defense and the
Interior Department, they claim. And FEMA would be recast as the National
Emergency Agency with a reduction in manpower and merged into the Interior
Department to be deployed during national emergencies.
“All weapons, munitions and military-type vehicles will be
transferred to the DOD immediately,” they add.
They’d get rid of the Department of Energy and, no surprise,
repeal Obamacare.
“It is critically important for American citizens to know
and understand that the United States of America cannot recover from the
unsustainable manmade national debt crises unless satisfactory employment is
archived for a majority of U.S. citizens and that requires the existing income
tax and Federal Reserve Systems to be abolished, then changed to a greatly
reduced method of funding the federal government,” they said.
With the elimination of the income tax, businesses and
corporations would return to the U.S., making manufacturing more competitive
worldwide, with jobs emerging “in great numbers” and resulting in a booming
economy.
Destructing ‘before our very eyes’
Vallely told WND the nation he long defended is
self-destructing “before our very eyes,” because of “our inept and incompetent
leadership in Washington.”
“The battle is on,” he added, “and we shall not retreat.”
Vallely, who has also served as a Fox News military analyst,
claimed the Obama administration and leadership of Congress have been leading
the nation down a road of “progressive socialism.”
The retired general said the U.S. faces a battle that is
unknown to generations of Americans, and that the fate of the nation is “now in
our hands” to enforce the Constitution and “severely limit the federal
government and its out-of-control spending.”
Vallely added that “politics as usual will not be effective
or sufficient enough to turn the country around.”
“We are in a war for America,” he told WND, adding that Sen.
Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Dr. Ben Carson, the noted brain surgeon and author of
“America the Beautiful” and other bestselling books have made similar
observations.
“A civil uprising is still not out of the question as ‘pain’
grips the country more each day,” Vallely said, adding that there is time to
change the country in a peaceful way.
‘This means raising your voice now’
“This means raising your voice now to your neighbors,
family, co-workers and friends,” he said. “Be the captains of your souls. I
pray for another George Washington to appear within the year and lead us.”
One of the issues that alarms Vallely is the high number of
senior officers in the U.S. military who have been fired under the Obama
administration, a toll estimated at one officer per week. Indeed, Vallely has
been very outspoken on what he calls a “purge” of the U.S. military by the
Obama administration – with a stunning nine generals and flag officers relieved
of duty this year alone.
WND has been reporting on the surge of firings, suspensions
and dismissals, for which Vallely has assigned a good portion of the blame to
Obama’s close adviser, Valerie Jarrett. Rampant “political correctness” due to
her influence, Vallely tells WND, is now permeating the military and negatively
affecting everyone from top generals to the ranks of the enlisted.
According to Vallely, Obama is “intentionally weakening and
gutting our military, Pentagon and reducing the U.S. as a superpower, and
anyone in the ranks who disagrees or speaks out is being purged.”
Vallely equated the current treatment of U.S. senior
military officers watching over what is said and done among mid-level officers
and enlisted ranks to that of the “political commissars from the Communist
era.”
He also told WND that the White House won’t investigate its
own officials, but finds it easy to fire military commanders “who have given
their lives for their country.”
‘Bought into Obama’s ideology’
“Obama will not purge a civilian or political appointee
because they have bought into Obama’s ideology,” Vallely said. “The White House
protects their own. That’s why they stalled on the investigation into Fast and
Furious, Benghazi and Obamacare. … Anyone in the ranks who speaks out is being
purged.”
He’s far from alone in his concerns about the military
purge, as J.D. Gordon, a retired Navy commander and a former Pentagon spokesman
in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, says the Obama administration is
rushing to unload senior officers whom he believes have become “political
pawns” dismissed for questionable reasons.
Retired Army Maj. Gen. Patrick Brady, a recipient of the
U.S. military’s highest decoration, the Medal of Honor, similarly has told WND
that Obama needs to apply the same standards to his political appointees as he
does to the military.
“Just when you thought the leadership of this government
could not get any worse, it does,” Brady said. “Never in history has an
administration spawned another scandal to cover the current one.”
This was a reference to the recent firing of a number of
generals to mask “Obama’s serial scandals, all prefaced by lies – Fast and
Furious, Benghazi, NSA, IRS,” among others, said Brady, former president of the
Congressional Medal of Honor Society.
Retired Army Lt. Gen. William G. “Jerry” Boykin, who was a
founding member of Delta Force and later deputy undersecretary of defense for
intelligence under President George W. Bush, tells WND it is worrying that
four-star generals are being retired at the rate that has occurred under Obama.
“Over the past three years, it is unprecedented for the
number of four-star generals to be relieved of duty, and not necessarily
relieved for cause,” Boykin said. “I believe there is a purging of the
military. The problem is worse than we have ever seen.”
