Rep Power: 102 | | Former White House Speechwriter Suggests Military Coup Could Oust Obama Former White House Speechwriter Suggests Military Coup Could Oust Obama Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet.com
Thursday, October 8, 2009. Former White House speechwriter John L. Perry has courted controversy by suggesting that the U.S. Military, upholding their oath to defend the Constitution against domestic enemies, could stage a bloodless coup to oust President Obama. In an article originally posted on the Newsmax website, Perry wrote, “There is a remote, although gaining, possibility America’s military will intervene as a last resort to resolve the “Obama problem.” Don’t dismiss it as unrealistic.” The article outlines how military officers, outraged at Obama’s “trampling” on the Constitution, nationalization of American institutions, rising deficits, unemployment and taxes, could peaceably seize power from the “radical-left commissars” of the Obama administration. “Military intervention is what Obama’s exponentially accelerating agenda for “fundamental change” toward a Marxist state is inviting upon America. A coup is not an ideal option, but Obama’s radical ideal is not acceptable or reversible,” writes Perry. It is important to stress that Perry is not a Neo-Con, he worked under the Democratic administrations of Lyndon Johnson and Jimmy Carter. Perry warns that America could be unrecognizable by 2012, prompting a coup to “restore and defend the Constitution,” a prospect that is “weighing heavily on the intellect and conscience of America’s military leadership,” he writes. Perry says that such a move could be accelerated if Israel were to bomb Iran, causing the Middle East to explode and a massive destabilization of the free world. Of course, the unlikely staging of a military coup could be just another ruse to implement martial law in the aftermath of what would undoubtedly ensue – mass civil unrest and a potential breakdown of society. More and more credible analysts are predicting that the United States could collapse in a Soviet-style breakdown within the next few years. In such a scenario, the vacuum of power created would leave the door open for the imposition of an even greater tyranny than we are witnessing today with Obama’s big government Socialist agenda. It is far more likely that a military coup, even if it began as a genuine effort to “restore the Constitution,” or “solve the Obama problem,” would be hijacked and transformed into an effort to subjugate the entire country under a militarized police state to an even greater extent than it is now. The more probable scenario is the one that was outlined by Tommy Franks in a 2003 interview with the men’s lifestyle magazine Cigar Aficionado, where a military form of government would be implemented in the aftermath of a huge terror attack that kills millions. Franks predicted that another mass casualty terror attack would occur that would cause the “population to question our own Constitution and to begin to militarize our country in order to avoid a repeat of another mass, casualty-producing event. Which in fact, then begins to unravel the fabric of our Constitution.”
Anyone think the country is going down a bad road fast?

Fear is such a horrible guide.
Other than that I don't know what to think about this.

Very true.
One thing we need to remember though, things can change overnight. One day everything is fine and the next people are dying in the street en mass.
All in all though it's fear mongering at this point, regardless of Obama's anti-American policies.

I don't see Obama's policies as any more anti-American than past Presidents'.

I thought we are going to be owned by whatever country/or central bank that has ownership of highest percentage of our debt?

The guy used to be a speechwriter. He wrote speeches. That's it. Like his ideas are going to carry any weight? That's about as silly as following Michelle Bachman into battle. JMHO, Tex

-the Corsican. | That is more fear though. Things can change overnight for countless reasons, but the fear of things changing over night can bring about negative change too. We can't live our lives in a state of fear.

This is a dangerous thought process to engage I think... Although it is entirely possible for the military to do this, Obama would fight it to the death (literally I think). I think that, given enough rope... he will hang himself and people will see it. At least I hope they do. Bush had miles of rope but for whatever reason people didn't want to see him dangling from it at the end. I do think this country is going down a bad road fast, but we also have been asking for it for a long time by not paying close attention to what the government is and isn't doing. It is a short step from a military coup to martial law and chaos I think. Then the question remains... what would happen if they succeeded? Who would take the office? Would they appoint someone or have a new election? And no matter how inconsequential, what would the rest of the world think of us as a nation if the military has to remove a sitting president? I know it shouldn't matter what they think but in reality it does... Its a very steep, very slippery slope.

Hey Charlie,
Yeah I agree. Bush was a horror story and so is Obama. I feel like they set us up with Bush and they're gonna take us down with Obama. The weird thing is these ideas of revolution in America or military dictatorship are not just coming from speech writers but political science professors from around the world. It still doesn't mean much to me. Most "experts" are worthless anyhow.

Personally, I believe it may actually succeed, Obama is finishing off a long line of corruption this country has desperately struggled to save itself from. Our demise comes all the way from Kennedy's ties to the Mafia and their assistance in winning the election, Obama is just here to finish the job. What is so intriguing to me is how is he still alive? I watched the election just waiting to see a massive red mist followed by a series of screams and "oh no! he's been shot!" Unfortunately, I didn't get my show :(. What is even more difficult to comprehend, why is he still in office? How about a little impeachment here? Anywho, I digress, it is not a dangerous thought my friend, it is a dangerous reality. I fear the presence of Obama is the last presidential presense we may see, most likely to make way for a military dictorialship rule. As for the rest of the world? We will be dominated by them. I foresee an early fall of Obama's presidency, that is pretty much a fact at this point, likely followed by a civil war erupting again and a mighty power struggle ensueing. As the civil war rages, we will quickly fall from the ranks as a world power and once we deteroriate to a 3rd world country, ravaged with death and disease, other countries will easily trample across us as if we were ants. Personally, I think the Russians will most likely take over the country(they've always had it out for us). Eventually, America will be a neglected wasteland and Ethopians will feel bad and start sending us food and supplies. This is no slippery slope anymore my friend, it has become a 20 foot wall coated in vaseline. I doubt were getting over it. The preverbial sh*t is about to hit the fan, ladies and gentlemen, I recommend stepping to the side as quickly as possible. Personally, I believe I will step all the way to Amsterdam. I'm sure I will see a lot of you there.  Good luck to you all, it's going to be a hard one for us all.

I don't fear for myself... I fear for my children and my wife.
I agree that the "rope" comment was a bad choice of words, but only cause he is black.

Hope is not lost just because it was used as a campaign slogan. I also don't believe in the death penalty, and despite the number of people killed by Bush (as Gov or Pres) I still wouldn't make an exception for him.
We might be fighting quite a political struggle, but we aren't fighting a civil war here. (At least not right now.) Although that is much to the disappointment of the people who keep pushing us to divide ourselves while cheering for more guns, violence, or even death while harboring no sense of personal responsibility.
Even if you were right and we were staring at a 20 foot wall, the Internet just knocked a 10 foot hole in it. Just walk through.

The proverbial sh*t hit the fan years ago. I have been cleaning it up.
Most people don't realize that it makes absolutely no difference, who is President of the U.S. By the time we are allowed to vote, the choice has already been made for us. The "powers that be" are quite satisfied with any of the candidates offered for our consideration. They have been selected, long before any "election" process.

I agree Charlie Foxtrot... seems strange to me that the news can report that one percent of the votes in my state were counted but gave it to Obama already. The electoral college is and has been screwing the average citizen out of the voting process for a long time.

That aside, given that the split of the votes was close to 50/50 , I find (as a foreigner), that when the designated 'right' looses, man are they bitter. I read else where talk about assasination etc. "Take up arms to defend the nation" and so on..
Express views like that under Bush and you'd be downtown... for crying out loud under Bush (it is reported) you'd get arrested just for wearing a agitprop comedy t-shirt.
Let this be a lesson to good liberals, remember to talk tougher next time you have a Bush in the hot seat.

Thanks to Bush we now have "freedom of speech zones." When he came to visit here, the "zone" was well away from the event. You might as well have been protesting a parking lot -- because you pretty much were.
