An Appeal to Those Who Went Along

A Call for Courage Among U.S. Military Leaders

Our country appears, in all visible ways, to be teetering on the brink of ruin. Some would say it's already there. Whether it’s the orchestrated invasion currently occurring at the border, or the economic struggles, or other problems, it is clear to any impartial observer that our country is in chaos. One of the reasons the chaos is so prevalent is that many of our government “leaders” are actively destroying our institutions or all mechanisms of defense against the destruction.

Rather than actively defending the republic, the military is complicit in this destruction.

Recognizing the magnitude of the problem we face, we need true leaders in this country to stand up in its defense. The first step in standing up in our country’s defense is to refuse to go along with the planned destruction.

I intend for this piece to come across as equal parts “sharp rebuke” and “willingness to embrace.”

This is, therefore, an appeal to all currently serving leaders within the military, with a specific focus on those who up to this point have lacked either the awareness or the integrity to oppose the intentional degradation of our fighting forces.

If there is any shred of honor, dignity, or true patriotism left within the United States Armed Forces, we are looking to appeal to those sentiments in order to encourage currently serving leaders of all ranks to resist the ongoing destruction of the military. After all, this destruction deliberately extends to the country as a whole.

Resistance is going to require moral courage, a virtue that has been in exceedingly short supply within our military in recent years.

Nonetheless, we extend a call for courage among those of you whose sense of honor, dignity, or true patriotism might kindle within you the resolve to fight for your country and military rather than against them. This would require you to take a different approach than the one you have taken up to this point.

While I will refer here most directly to the policies enacted as part of the covid operation, due to the clearly unlawful and destructive nature of their implementation, I firmly acknowledge that the strategy to destroy our military and country is more comprehensive than just the covid component. I also believe that much of what I mention here that is specific to military leaders can also apply indirectly to members of other institutions that have also been complicit in the tyranny enacted over the past three years in the name of covid responses.

I have been very critical of those who have gone along with the covid operation that has been foisted upon us over the past few years. On multiple occasions, I have referred to participants in this operation as traitors, criminals, and/or cowards depending on their level of witting complicity. I’ve written about that here.

I stand by those accusations.

The entire covid operation — everything from promoting fear to masks to remdesivir to lockdowns to deliberately harmful injections — was clearly planned well in advance. It was designed to kill, injure, destroy small businesses, and facilitate wealth transfer. It has also intentionally eradicated faith in certain institutions because people are inevitably realizing the sinister nature of the operation. Other operations to further destabilize America are currently underway and similar operations will surely be used in the future unless more people decide to resist.

Acknowledging the Problem

If you are a leader in today’s military and you stood by as the unlawful implementation of the covid-19 injection mandate was implemented, then you actively and openly participated in the destruction of military readiness. On a more personal note, you may have ordered, coerced, cajoled, or incentivized subordinates to take an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) product that was misrepresented as a fully FDA-approved product. That means that you endorsed and supported the collusion between DoD and the FDA to perpetrate fraud on the service members and by extension, the country. You were part of the lie. You, therefore, share responsibility in the intentional attacks both on the military as a whole and on the specific individuals impacted by your direct actions.

That means that you, personally, are part of the reason there is such a corrosive moral injury afflicting the military right now. I have written about this moral injury here.

Initial ignorance might have explained your initial complicity, but is no longer a viable excuse. Regardless of what you naively believed twenty months ago when the mandate was implemented, ignorance can no longer be claimed. Too much information has come out for reasonably intelligent people to continue to claim that they still believe the covid/injection narrative without significant reservations. The military (and the country) is being actively destroyed, and if you choose not to oppose it, then you are willingly participating in it. You hide behind an American military uniform and an American flag while you desecrate both with your actions. You hypocritically betray many of the values you have endorsed (perhaps quite sincerely) your entire service tenure up to this point.

Where are the “Good People?”

I firmly believe that many of you are “good people.” I have no reason to think otherwise. Good people can make mistakes, even grave ones.

Who am I to level accusations against thousands of military leaders, many of whom have, in some respects, far more distinguished military careers than my own service record? I have never claimed to have been a perfect military officer. In fact, I have taken multiple opportunities either in interviews or in my writings to claim nothing more than having been a generally good military officer. I made my fair share of mistakes, too.

And when I made mistakes, I often got called out for it and was often corrected. In a sense, that's exactly what I'm doing here. However, in another sense, I'm trying to drive home the point that we must acknowledge the scope of the problem we're facing. We’re not talking about the typical mistakes that many military officers make. We're talking about open treason being perpetrated against the country and its institutions, such as the military, that might oppose the ongoing efforts to deliberately enfeeble America.

We, those of who have resisted the tyranny up to this point, fully understand that you didn’t necessarily mean to oppose the Constitution, your military, and your nation. We understand that. You were the victims of a massive operation to include a propaganda component perhaps unparalleled in the history of the world. However, it is entirely unreasonable to think that you leaders in the military who are truly good people do not feel conflicted about the situation that you now find yourselves in. I believe that there are plenty of you good people who have trouble wearing the uniform each day because you are now beginning to question what you have been, and continue to be, a part of. I also believe that some of you good people may have trouble looking yourselves in the mirror. You are beginning to sense that you were on the wrong side of the mandates.

Additionally, many of you are beginning to see this is far bigger than just the covid op. Some of you may be starting to realize that the senior DoD leadership is actively working against the military and against the citizens of our country. You are perhaps beginning to realize that things are not adding up. You may be starting to realize that our government does not actually serve the people or represent our interests. You can’t shy away from these thoughts and turn away from the questions arising in your mind.

Personally, I have close friends, peers, former supervisors, and former subordinates who remain in military service. I sincerely respect many of them and believe they are genuinely good people. There are a few of them that I believe are among the greatest people I ever served with during my time in the military. However, they are completely wrong on this issue. Catastrophically wrong. In some cases, I have directly told close friends exactly that. I will not mince words. This is not a trifling matter.

Do I still respect many of them? Of course.

Do I respect them less than I would if they had demonstrated the courage to resist the tyranny that has enervated our military vitality over the past few years? Of course I do. I absolutely respect them less than I otherwise would if they had chosen to do the right thing. They have “earned” that diminished respect.

Do I think they are cowards? Yes.

Fortunately, even cowardice is not a terminal condition. It can be overcome. We have all been cowards at various times in our lives. Exercising courage, even when late, is much better than not exercising it at all.

You Have to Wake Up

You can’t continue to ignore the plain reality of what you’re seeing. The future of the military, and perhaps of the country itself, hinges largely on how many of our currently serving military leaders wake up to what is going on and decide they can no longer be a part of something that they have sworn to defend the Constitution from.

The world doesn't work the way you have long thought it does. Nor does the U.S. government. The world, to include our own government, is not run by people that are merely bad, or corrupt, or self-interested. The truth is far darker than that. The world and our own government are controlled by supremely evil people. You need to realize that if you are going to wake up to the reality of what is happening.

With these types of sinister operations, they're only successful because normal, everyday people decide to go along with them. The majority of these people are well intentioned and have no desire to harm anyone. These otherwise good people are manipulated into going along with a program that actually harms them. In this way, these people become agents of their own enslavement as they feed a system that aims to either destroy them or completely deprive them of their liberty.

You Must Act

At this point in the trajectory of our country, there is no remaining on the fence. We are in a situation right now in the military where those who are not resisting are, by default, participating in the ongoing tyranny. And by participating in the ongoing tyranny, you are in open violation of your oaths to the Constitution.

I fully acknowledge how you might have gotten here. You were manipulated into going along with an unlawful, and ultimately harmful, mandate. You may have been swept up in the pressure exerted by DoD across the board without realizing exactly why the mandate was so sinister. I understand the reality of organizational inertia. You wanted to be a “team player,” but you failed to realize you’re on the wrong team. Or at least on a team that has been completely infiltrated. With DoD being run at the top by those who are willfully plotting to destroy military readiness, it's that exact inertia that will further the degradation of our fighting forces. “Going along to get along” is the exact type of attitude that will ensure the further devitalization of our military.

It is Not (Yet) Too Late

Courage is needed. Those of us who refused to go along with the mandate are still happy to receive those who come a little late to the party. We know that not everyone wakes up at the same time. We also understand that many people don’t have the courage to be first. They are not trailblazers. They will only do the right thing once others demonstrate that doing the right thing, even at great cost, is an option. It can be done. For those who only now decide to embrace truth, we still applaud your willingness to do so. We still want to embrace you. We know that you in fact love your country. We know you care. We know that you want to remain loyal to your oath. We are waiting for you to make the decision to be on the right side of history.

Where are our Senior Leaders?

We know exactly where they are. They are in one of two places. They are either actively working against us or they are in hiding. By hiding, I mean they are keeping their heads down, afraid to draw attention to themselves, and afraid to say anything outside the accepted narrative. They would rather watch the military implode and the country fall than speak up.

As military personnel, we are expected to execute violence, when necessary, on behalf of the American people. We better damn well be prepared to do so ethically. How can we expect the American people to trust the military to morally, legally, and constitutionally carry out its mission when the overwhelming majority of its leaders lack moral courage? It’s a violation of the American people’s trust.

Continuing to be silent as this destruction continues is to be complicit in it. Right now, there is a recently retired major general from the U.S. Marine Corps who, at least up to this point, has been unwilling to speak out about his covid shot injury. According to a source close to the general, Major General Julian Alford (USMC, Ret) suffered an adverse effect that has left him unable to use one of his hands.

The source, Lieutenant Colonel David Trombly (USMC, Ret), has spoken out about the general’s injury, emphasizing that he has been granted permission by General Alford to do so. Trombly also claims that the Commandant of the Marine Corps, General David Berger, told Alford to “keep his mouth shut” about his injury to keep from influencing Marines to refuse the shot. (For more on this, see here). The story doesn’t end there. Trombly also mentions that General Alford separated approximately 500 Marines for refusing the injection after he himself had been injured by it. This action to separate these Marines apparently “broke his heart.” However, his broken heart apparently did not keep him from separating Marines from service for refusing an injection that he personally knew could injure them, as he himself had been injured by it.

Did General Alford comply with General Berger’s directive that he not speak about his injury? Did he conceal the injury as he separated these Marines?

I believe that Trombly is speaking on behalf of a truly conflicted man. I believe that General Alford is a prime example of someone who is both a perpetrator and a victim of extreme moral injury. While I applaud General Alford’s willingness to permit Trombly to continue to speak on his behalf, I must question his (Alford’s) sincerity and dedication to the truth due to his unwillingness to speak out in his own voice. To me it seems as if he is engaging in half measures.

I don’t personally know General Alford and, in fairness, have only heard extremely positive things about his career and reputation. My understanding is that he is truly regarded in the highest of terms. I’m sure all of that is true. I have no reason to doubt that deep down, he is a good man and a good officer that has had a highly successful career. However, more recently, I have heard many criticisms about his silence on what is the largest current threat to readiness. At a time in which our military teeters on the brink of disaster — which I state with no intended hyperbole— General Alford’s silence is deafening.

I hate that he has been injured by an injection that he perhaps felt at the time was safe, effective, and maybe even necessary. I really do hate it for him. However, I can’t understand why he would, via his silence, seemingly endorse the actions of those bent on destroying America.

I have no desire to throw stones at a man who, by all accounts, had a tremendous career and is now dealing with a debilitating injury. However, I also must ask why such a man was willing to push the same injection on others and is now nowhere to be found when his country needs him.

Leaders like Alford are now overshadowing their entire careers, and all the good they might have accomplished, by wilting in our military’s moment of greatest need.

To General Alford, and others in similar situations, I ask you: will you stand up for truth, for what’s right, and maintain your oath to the Constitution, or will you prioritize your career, retirement pension, reputation, and status instead? Your country needs you now more than it ever has. This is the defining moment of your entire service careers.

What to Do

Ultimately, this is up to you.

First and foremost, I am in no way advocating violence. I firmly believe that violence is being perpetrated against us. Service members have died and countless others have been injured by the “fake vaccines” knowingly pushed on them by DoD leadership with no other purpose than to kill or injure. However, I am not in any way advocating for violence to be used by victims against anyone they may feel are responsible for the physical, emotional, and/or moral harms they may have experienced. I heartily endorse any efforts for full accountability, but there are legal procedures, assuming they remain uncompromised (itself a dubious claim perhaps), that must be followed.

I’m not demanding that anyone immediately resign though obviously I would understand if currently serving leaders did. After all, that is the route that I personally chose. I’m not demanding that anyone immediately retire either. While I personally feel that the military is too deeply infiltrated for me to serve in, you might feel differently. You may feel that it is best to remain in uniform and be a force for good from within. I might disagree and might even think that is a naïve stance, but it is your choice to make. I personally feel I can do more out of uniform to lean on military leaders and provide awareness as to what is going on than I could if I were still in the Army. I understand that not everyone feels that way.

However, if you are unwilling to challenge your supervisors, then you are not being helpful. If you are unwilling to speak out against what has happened up to this point, then you are not being helpful. If you think that the covid operation in the military is over just because the mandate was repealed, then you are not being helpful.

Again, this is a time for courage. I am not going to tell you exactly what to do because that is not my role and I would never assume I know all the variables within your specific situation.

However, in a general sense, I am asking you to do 4 things:

1. Align yourself with God and/or the truth. I know different people have different beliefs. If you believe in God, then ensure that you are deepening your relationship with Him. After all, this is a spiritual battle and truth comes ultimately from God. If you are not a believer in God, you probably still recognize the importance of aligning yourself with truth.

2. Remember your oath to the Constitution. Along with your oath to the Constitution, remember your loyalty to your country and your fellow citizens.

3. Decide if your actions have been congruent with your oath. If you have serious questions about what has been going on in this country, don’t ignore them. Don’t follow the path of least resistance and do nothing. Research the truth behind the unlawful nature of the mandate. Research DoD’s role in the covid responses. See more here and here as well.

4. Decide what to do. This is a personal decision you must make. How can you preserve your oath and remain on the right side of history? How can you demonstrate your willingness to do what is right rather than what is easy or popular?

Conclusion

At some point in the future, whether it is by children, grandchildren, or others, we will all be asked “what did you do in the moment of America’s greatest need?”

I hope your answer is not, “I went along with her destruction.”

Americans should not view the Armed Forces as an enemy. Let’s give the American people a reason to trust the military again.
