British General Threatens Military Coup If Corbyn Elected
Late last week we brought you a collection of vivid images from a military coup in the West African nation of Burkina Faso where forces aligned with former President Blaise Compaoré arrested the acting President and Prime Minister ahead of democratic elections planned for October.
To be sure, most observers would argue that the idea of military coups like the one described above occurring with any sort of regularity in the context of the developed world is far-fetched at best, but a growing disaffection with what many see as endemic corruption and ineptitude has not only served to catapult two dark horse presidential candidates to the top of the polls in the US but apparently has some Americans convinced that a military takeover might be preferable to the current system of governance as the following poll (which admittedly suffers from selection bias) from YouGov shows:
Well, don't look now but the ascension of Jeremy Corbyn to the head of Britain's Labour party has led at least one senior serving general to predict that a Corbyn government would face the very real possibility of a military "mutiny". Here's more from The Independent:
The unnamed general said members of the armed forces would begin directly and publicly challenging the labour leader if he tried to scrap Trident, pull out of Nato or announce “any plans to emasculate and shrink the size of the armed forces.”
He told the Sunday Times: “The Army just wouldn’t stand for it. The general staff would not allow a prime minister to jeopardise the security of this country and I think people would use whatever means possible, fair or foul to prevent that. You can’t put a maverick in charge of a country’s security.
“There would be mass resignations at all levels and you would face the very real prospect of an event which would effectively be a mutiny.”
The general, who served in Northern Ireland during the Troubles, said he and many soldiers were sickened by Mr Corbyn’s refusal to condemn the IRA, which killed 730 troops and injured 7,000 more during the conflict.
His shadow chancellor, John McDonnell, was forced to apologise when it was revealed he had called for IRA members, including hunger striker Bobby Sands, to be honoured by the British government.
The general said: “Many soldiers are disgusted by the comments of Corbyn and John McDonnell [about] the IRA — men who have not only murdered British soldiers but also hundreds of members of their own community.”
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Defense is not happy, and neither, apparently, are Corbyn's political opponents who seemingly would prefer to live with a Corbyn government than see Britain relegated to the status of a mid-20th century South American banana republic. Here's The Independent again:
“You can’t have serving officers effectively threatening a coup against an elected government,” they said. “This general seems to have forgotten that we live in a democracy.” A Ministry of Defence source said it was unacceptable for a serving officer to make political comments about a potential “future government”.
Even some Conservatives expressed disquiet. The right-wing Tory MEP Daniel Hannan described the general as an “idiot”. “We’re not Bolivia for God’s sake,” he said.
Of course the thing about military coups is that they don't, by definition, depend upon whether politicians think they are "idiotic", which is why, in a world where polls in developed markets seem to suggest that voters' sentiments are beginning to shift towards the far ends of the political spectrum (see Greece, Spain, the US, Britain, and Portugal for instance), one certainly wonders what might happen if, in a desperate attempt to bring about real "change", voters make a "mistake" that the army decides needs be corrected outside of the ballot box...

They were in FRANCE. and the fact that they managed to save a lot of lives by the retreat at Dunkirk was important for saving Britain.
The British Army used to be solid. The downfall started when the higher level started taking Zion's coin.
Not sure the British army ever was. The British navy however, they used to world some power.
Do you think that the British Expeditionary Force should have fought to the last man?
UK has military capable of staging a coup? Wow!
Take a look at the politicians. My grandmother could stage a coup.

Gunga Dihn...
The poem is a rhyming narrative from the point of view of an English soldier in India, about an Indian water-bearer (a bhishti) who saves the soldier's life but is soon shot and killed. In the final three lines, the soldier regrets the abuse he dealt to Din and admits that Din is the better man of the two for sacrificing his own life to save another. The poem was published as one of the set of martial poems called the Barrack-Room Ballads.
In contrast to Kipling's later poem "The White Man's Burden", "Gunga Din" (/?????? ?d?n/) is named after the Indian, portraying him as a heroic character who is not afraid to face danger on the battlefield as he tends to wounded men. The English soldiers who order Din around and beat him for not bringing them water fast enough are presented as being callous and shallow, and ultimately inferior to him.
Although "Din" is frequently pronounced to rhyme with "bin", the rhymes within the poem make it clear that it should be pronounced /?din/ to rhyme with "green".
Yep, the british "elites" are fucking children en gros, investigations are being sabotaged - and the only good reason those fraks are finding for a coup is the plebs are wrong with their opinion on political issues.
Hey, you military assholes - how about you "rendition" the whole lot of BBC presstitutes. Then roll up the tanks, surround every castle there is in your Engelland, and start shooting. No, no, no - No questions, No trial needed.
Jooos rule the Universe, how do I know? I read the posts here which are 90% comprised of CAIR Bacha Bazi, PutinPutzes and Christian Identity fluffers @ ZHemmiroids. How you doooinnn :)
Hasbara no pay good, eh wot?
Bacha Bazi much? You are a Goebbels-Mohammedan aren't' you?
interesting way to avoid godwin's law.
What's Godwin's Law, when the Jooos control all laws; physical, legal, astrophysical et. al.; to wit; Masters of the Universe. ;0
ROTFL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Holy shit the fucking hasbrats are out in force today!
This fucking Corbyn thing really got their panties in a bunch!
It's another SHOA!
You're just jealous that you're low on the Totem Pole of life and Jews rule you and your bitch (No gender inferred).
LOLZ Asshole I am not a child, you can't "hurt my feels" with a post on the internet.
If you are not a hasbrat you are a fool, cause you know you can get paid for these posts, right?
https://whitewraithe.wordpress.com/a-guide-to-hasbara-trolls/
You are quite the child, your destiny is anything but your own. ZioBanksters? Remember? :-0
thanks for bucking the stereotype that Jews are smart, FF.
It must feel pretty good though, any time someone discusses a clear Israeli war crime derided by its own press and soldiers, or if anyone dares suggests Jewish contributions to both political parties - why, you can just take a shit in your hands and smear it all over the keyboard -hitler hitler nazi nazi holocaust ...
and when you get angry enough you can let slip what you REALLY think about Jewish supremacism {odd given the fact you are CLEARLY a fairly dumb guy}...
But no matter what you say about Arabs, or Muslims - no matter what.... YOUR ACCOUNT will never be banned or blocked.
Because it's only "hate" when someone says something about Jews that makes Jews, qua group, look like other than THE SACRED AND ETERNAL VICTIM OF UNTHINKING HATE.
and more like, to some extent, a group whose holy texts from time immemorial bathed them in racism, xenophobia, and supremacism... and whose ELITE acted like a hostile parasite leading to the group punishment of the "regular" people who had nothing to do with it...
Christ, I wish one of you hasbara cunts had a mind worth debating.
But if you simply do. not. care. about the facts... what's the point?

I don't dislike you because you're Jewish... indeed your DNA or the sort of building you go to on holidays to make your gransparents happy doesn't mean a goddamned thing to me.
No, I dislike you because you are a shamelessly dishonest Jewish supremacist who constantly frames Jews and Israel as powerless victims of mindless, irrational haters and you DEFINE OUT OF "EVIL" evil done by Israel, then call anyone who does not do so an "anti-Semite."
fuck you, stupid...
You're losing the propaganda war because your rhetoric is so hackneyed and so *false*
Oh, me, oh my...the UN is part of the ZioNWO, nothing but manufactured consent for you and the inconsequential world of the Goebbels-Mohammedan and Slaaaaaav. Vlady? Vlady? Come in and wash your hands, Jooos are inspecting us tonight.
Zionists are part of OWO not NWO. NWO is going to smash their power once and for all.
TO which NWO are you referring? The NWO isn't a ZioBankster cabel? Wow, a lot of ZHemmroiders are sure gonna be disappointed. All you half wits need to take it back! Take it Back! The NWO isn't a Zionist, ZioBankster, Khazar, Talmudic, Jew, Joooo, operation.
If the hate circulating among ZHers could be converted, and coupled with the the sheer intellect and energy in this group, I believe we could turn this thing around. Are we so beholden to our reptilian nature that we are doomed to never rise above it, or to fathom who our real enemies are?
God help us all............
Holy shit the camel fuckers are out in force today!
This fucking Corbyn thing really got their burqas in a bunch!
Congratz!! You responded!
Another 5 shekels into your hasbrat account!!
Congratz!! You responded!

you seem VERY interested in homosexuality and dick sucking-it OK if youre Gay-admit it, come out of the closet you bitch!!thank you
Shekels? You will receive payment in the form of table scraps (If you're a good boy) from the Human's table. Get back to cleaning those Kosher bidets. ;0
Shit, more likely goat fckers, like the Faxulestinians taped by drone between rocket launches in the last arab provocation. Fcking a goat, on video in between rocket launches. Maybe one of the parties (not the goat) is posting here. After the arab/muslim filth is finished w/ a goat they go for the main event; Bacha Bazi.
The Faux is not in the Palestinians - They're the guys who's land was stolen.
I'm assuming you understand the legal definition of theft, at this point.
Bigotry is bigotry, wherever it comes from.
You seem to be suffering from a particularly bad case.
The great thing about hate is that it damages those who practice it.
You should know all about being a bigot bitch.
Jews have always been in the Middle East and the area known as Palestine.
So go back to sucking muzzie cock.

That means one thing. The elites are getting scared. That's why are trying to bully Corbyn using media and other means. After all everything has a tipping point and stupidity is terminal.

Nigel thinks that Corbyn looks like a Marxist pig.

In North America's two uppermost nations it would not be surprising if citizens ended up replacing the federal system of governments as it is becoming painfully obvious the average citizen is nothing more than a wallet to plunder and a serf who is expected to bow to his/her/its master.
Dogs have more freedom than people. We are observed, privacy violated, food and medical supplies are regulated to our detriment and there are too many laws and regulations which cannot be remembered or paid for. Yet these .gov people can participate in wars, murder innocents under the guise of "national security."
I and many others resent all these so called wars, the drug dealing, torturous and murderous "intelligence" agencies. I am not a religious man, but this stuff is against my core belief and I will not contribute to them in any way shape or form. If another nation or force attacks us in our countries self defense is required, but no country attacked us.
Time to get rid of these shackles we are burdened with.
The so called "Elite" - on both sides of the Atlantic - is getting nervous.
Thay've over-played their hand. Their fear is palpable. You can smell it.

some observers believe that in 1975 when Wilson was prime minister a military coup d' etat was planned by various British industrialists including Sir Val Duncan, head of Rio Tinto, who were planning to use Mountbatten as a front man.
Thinking that general needs to be relieved of command and thrown in hail immediately.
That general may want to watch his 6.
I suspect the rank and file know exactly who has been pulling the strings, and they certainly know that the British people don't mean a fucking thing to the vast majority of politicians.
Corbyn is a British "socialist" but explaining to the Fox News/Drudge Report fucking idiotcons that this isn't "communism" is futile...
It will suffice to say that whether or now we'd vote for him for dog catcher - the shit storm is very largely about Israel and Jews [doubt me - do a google search]... and not because of ANYTHING but the indications he's given that he is not behind militarism-as-usual... and of course, Israel and its worldwide network of spies and sayanim are ready, with Jumbotron, to bravely shout "anti-Semite" at any politician who is not willing to spend non-Jewish blood and treasure on military escapades having fuck all to do with that countries vital interests, and everything do do with the Zionist right craving more dead Arabs so they can created a Jewish state on land that was never, ever.... ever controlled or even heavily populated by Jews.
Period.

amazing how many billions Congress has to spend given 12+ years of massive deficit spending.
Well - the name of the game is destroying the "homogenous" nature of Europe and indeed the idea that European peoples, like Jews, or Asians, are entitled to a homeland.
This may not, however, be a bad thing in the end.
The new arrivals simply need to learn that a certain group, in country after country after country, has far, far more political and media power than their numbers would suggest.
And after a while, it begins to look like this group is incredibly well organized transnationally - against the interests of *everyone* but themselves.
Yeah these few weeks of the "migrant" crisis shows just how easily the Jooooos are now openly invading and subverting every single border, cultural anchor, and political party in Europe. Better convert you smelly buttplugs.

Bacha Bazi; a Fauxlestinian tradition.
Well, they might be learning from the Jews.
Well, Bacha Bazi is a long held Muttslum practice and considering you're Taqiyya-like statement, it isn't held in high regard except by the Left-Hander.
Your interests are hardly "everyone," in fact you're far too low on the scale to even rate "interests." You self flattery of mattering is sad, after we laugh at your delusional worth. I'm a Jew and I rule you.
You are working for the Israeli Public Relations Department, aren't you?
Doing a bang-up job, if I may say so.
Nobody can come back and say you didn't warn them that many (not all, by any means) are as intollerant and hateful as you.
Israel was founded on racism and has gone downhill from there.
Jews have been in the Middle East and the area known as Palestine before the Islam existed.
Judaism was founded with Abraham around 1800 BCE while Islam was founded with Muhammad in the year 622 which was much later.
You're a Jew hater who must be working for your muzzie masters from Hamas and Hezbollah?
So were the Palestinians, you bubble headed boobie!
The Queen wouldn't have to appoint Corbyn. She could appoint anyone if they could form a government.
I love the YouGov polling showing GOP'er favoring a coup. But the poll taken in 2000-2008 would show Dems favoring murder by Democide overwhelmingly. ZH is barely concealed as a MediaMatters confederate.

Most here have nothing against the Jewish people, who as a whole benefit little from the machinations of their leaders. How many had to die because of the endless pogroms and mass murders of Europe? These were brought upon the broader Jewish community by their leaders and notables who lent at compound interest. (Of course, non-Jews have always been in on the scam but the [leaders of the] Jewish people were the most visible minority who engaged in it.)
As a socialist I can proudly say that ZeroHedge is on the whole an unbiased source. Generally it and its subscribers have a right-libertarian bent, but theirs is a view - fearlessly anti-corporate and anti-government - that I can respect. ZeroHedge gives decent representation to left-wing points of view as in this article about Jeremy Corbyn although I think there is room for improvement in this department. I would never go so low as to call ZH an affiliate of Media Matters---an organization serving the Democratic Party and its corrupt corporate order.
Those that understand compound interest earn it, and those who don't pay it.
Only fools and socialists are dumb enough to pay compound interest and then blame the Jews for having to pay it.
All it takes is one major financial crisis, and there is one fermenting right now, and Corbyn will be in business.

If my boss 'Cameron" who is accused of screwing a dead pig's head, I wouldn't be eager to take direction from the likes of him. Apparently many English politicians are scoundrels with cocaine being drug of choice. I doubt the USA is much different.
What a bunch of hypocrites.
Hey general - every single British soldier on Irish soil should be killed by the Irish. In Northern Ireland you are an occupying force you asshole.
Irish, scotts, britts, welch
rock & load

So England, the country that bent over and gave up their right to bear arms, is going to initiate a military coup?? BLAAAAHAHAHAAA!! OH god, just shot soda right through my nose! You guys at ZH are too much.
It is a sobering thought that if the UK has to resort to using nuclear weapons in the next few years, the orders enabling that will have come from someone who once put his dick in a dead pig's mouth.
bathHouse Barry fired 400+ Flag rank Officers to prevent such a thing from happening here in the good old United Negro/Muslim States of America.
Careful there buddy, posting at this article is like walking into a Arab Tribal leader's frothy Bacha Bazi encounter. A homosexual pedophile's daisy chain. And Mohammad married a bride how old?
Give them enough rope and they'll hang themselves.
ProgressiveUSA has taken in so much rope - EPA, NOAA, NASA, USDA, NLRB, HSA, ATF, BLM, AmeriCORP, Planned Parenthood, SEIU, IRS, EEOC, EVERYTHING GEORGE SOROS, ad infinitum - that the termite infested four-legged chair underneath is one leg away from strangling the Ideology into the ultimate suffocation.
Those "400+" IMHO know when to hold em, know when to fold em, know when to walk away & know when to run.
They also know when to FUCKING CHARGE. Their silence should not be confused with their surrender. au contraire
"A small band of mercenaries (e.g. Blackwater) could defeat a large Arab army. A small band of Arabs could (and did) defeat the modern British Army. Therefore a small band of mercenaries could take over Great Britian if the Pentagon ever let them off the leash, or if the Pentagon's hand became too weak to grip the leash." -Jim Donald
Never underestimate the power of a small group of highly motivated men against a weak, bloated, ineffectual state. Just ask that bastard William of Normandy!
Thank you, Seriously.
America doesn't know how close to a coup and assasination their country was, not too recently!
William was able to land because a lot of the Thanes stood down thinking he wasn't coming.
Why they didn't re-assemble again I don't know.
Harold also had to deal with some Norse types up north and then rush south.
Bloated and ineffectual is short of a fair assessment.
This is bad news for us. The U.S. Military sided with Bush.
Yeah but they've also sided with Papa Doc Barack, so cheer up!
Exactly right. No help from the MIC.
Or from his Praetorian Guard of the "SS."
They didn't "side" with he. They jus' waitin' for he to leave out the White House, yo.
On a serious note Mr. Corbyn's election to head the Labor Party is likely to see a landslide (And that's saying something in a parlimentary system) for the Tories. Only the die hard socialist and MuslimTicks are likely to come out and vote for him. A sizeable portion of the nominal labor rank and file will stay home.
The General missed his chance. If the current leaders were for the people, Corbyn would still be nobody.
Where was his coup when Britain helped support AlQuida in Syria?
Where was his coup when Britain helped support Nazis in Ukraine?
As always, the popularity of such a leader is a symptom of something bigger.
It's that 'leader' thing that causes all the problems.
Time to have none of them.
I don't need one.
Do you?
Highly recommend John Micheal Greer's piece this week.
Another World is InevitableThe Corbyns, Le Pens, Trumps, etc are showing that the trust in the previous systems (elephants vs asses, etc) and all has been lost.
These times we are entering will speed up in events per timeframe.
Hang on.

I don’t normally comment in these essays on the political affairs of other countries. As I’ve noted more than once here, the last thing the rest of the world needs is one more clueless American telling everyone else on the planet what to do. What’s more, as the United States busies itself flailing blindly and ineffectually at the consequences that its own idiotically shortsighted decisions have brought down upon it, those of us who live here have our work cut out for us already.That said, a sign I’ve been awaiting for quite some time has appeared on the horizon—the first rumble of a tectonic shift that will leave few things unchanged. Unsurprisingly, this didn’t happen in the United States, but I was somewhat startled to see where it did happen. That would be in Britain, where Jeremy Corbyn has just been elected head of Britain’s Labour Party.
<snip>
I think a Brit Military coup would be the best thing to happen to British TV since Monty Python.
Imagine the thrills as we watch the Jackboots burn down the Muzzie rape factories and make em corn-holer their Ayatollahs.
Watching the Brits reclaim their once proud Anglo-Saxon and Viking bloodlines would just be the icing on the cake.
Britain's been under zionist control for about 300 years. A coup against these satanic sobs is mandated.
It would be interesting to see a military coup in a constitutional republic that has millions of armed citizens. When it has happened in every other country they were dictatorial hell holes where the next power group was struggling for their time to shine. Plus the " democracies" that tried it were already fucked BECAUSE they were democracies that only care about the majority and not the minority which has been and always will be the problem with democracies. Majority rules and the minority gets fucked.
But when that minority has a gun to protect his civil rights from an over bearing government that wishes to reduce him to a serf the give me liberty or give me death will be the order of the day. And hopefully the death will not be the man or woman fighting to regain the lost liberties from nothing more than a glorified group of criminals.
For the record I tried!
"Majority rules and the minority gets fucked."
Except it is the infinitesimable 001% minority who rules the status quo corruptus-- not the majority.
"when that minority has a gun to protect his civil rights from an over bearing government "
exceot they are not the minority-- they're the 99% overwhelming majority-- if only 3% of them with courage and integrity got off of their asses.
I was referring to the minority of the general public and not th peoemin power. The whole point of a republic is respecting the rights of those
That you disagree with and not trying to run roughshot over them.
When referring to minority I mean the ones that don't want the government to force them to pay for things through forced taxation that go against personal beliefs. Think public unions, planned parenthood, or paying property taxes for schools that you don't use because you don't have kids.
If you don't pay property taxes then the gov comes and takes your property rather than having the freedom to boycott payment to gov because they have failed to live up to their commitment to the public as a whole and not the ones who voted For them.
But I do agree with you that those that have the guns and believe in gun rights are in the majority. I love listening to retarded leftists who say that they are going to take your guns are unarmed.
I usually inform them that thy will receive a lead salad before that happens. The unarmed trying to disarm the armed. Hilarity to say the least. Give me liberty or give me death to the tyrant who wishes to take it from me.
Fuck them all!!
Guns are insufficient. Also required are:
1. brains
2. balls
These other 2 requirements are in extremely short supply, else the ship of state would not be in such horrible condition and would not have been run onto the rocks so many times before and yet to come.
I usually inform them that thy will receive a lead salad before that happens. The unarmed trying to disarm the armed. Hilarity to say the least.
I fear that you underestimate the power of the bureaucracy. No Government worker in an office with a pen is unarmed....
The funniest part about this statement is they haven't had an empire since the U.S. took over for them in 1922.
What' would be even funnier is if someone in the JCS made the same statement to a Ron Paul or Cynthia McKinney if they were the House Majority Whip running for President!...
Then you realize the British unlike Americans are "thinking" and are interested in real change... Then you know it was nothing more than a "good dream"!
The UK is already mostly dysfunctional due to the massive inflow of foreigners and a massive outflow of production jobs. The coup should have occurred years ago.
Just watch the BBC miniseries "A Very British Coup". It shows exactly what would happen to a PM Corbyn.

An oligarchist is an oligarchist, why does everyone run around trying to label them this or that. I have noticed they come in all shades of color and fucking looney religions. NAzi blah blah jew blah blah you all sound like ignorant assholes. A small group of people want to control us all, period. And sorry peeps, they come in all colors shapes and religions. But you get one thing right, they all think they are better than you.
A refresher on Oligarchy for Tuesday study-
"Oligarchy, government by the few, especially despotic power exercised by a small and privileged group for corrupt or selfish purposes.
Aristotle used the term oligarchia to designate the rule of the few when it was exercised not by the best but by bad men unjustly. In this sense, oligarchy is a debased form of aristocracy, which denotes government by the few in which power is vested in the best individuals. Most classic oligarchies have resulted when governing elites were recruited exclusively from a ruling caste—a hereditary social grouping that is set apart from the rest of society by religion, kinship, economic status, prestige, or even language. Such elites tend to exercise power in the interests of their own class." Encyclopedia Brit (on of my favoriet English endeavors, ty you limey bastards :))
Now think about current US politics. Keep thinking till you see it.
The British have way to high an opinion of themselves. Some good Rock n' Roll, decent fish and chips and world class child molesters but outside of that...c'mon!
There is history behind the rather nonchalant
http://www.cirje.e.u-tokyo.ac.jp/research/workshops/history/history_pape...
lais·sez-faire demeanor, and it may be the Pound Steriling dollars reserve status.
If you take a read, you will see this appears intentional as well and may have been a strategy in order to infiltrate the US economic apparatus as an international interest. And the charts on this 38 page Microsoft pdf show a similar pattern to what is essentially taking place at this very moment. Increase in lending, wars, failure to act for years, leaving their citizens at the mercy of a currency which has little purchasing power. Dark economy comes to life, a man's got to live. Broken spirits are a high price to pay for a feckless system which resorts to covert operations to make their point.

Take all that money we spend on weapons and defence each year and spend it feeding, clothing, and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, and we can explore space, both inner and outer, together, forever, in peace. -Bill Hicks
So, the Welfare Whores threaten a hissy-fit if their status and privileges are threatened.
Who'da thunk it?
No different from various Trades' Unions threatening "to bring the Country to a standstill" if so-and-so is elected.
You couldn't find a more Socialist organisation than the Standing Army. The structure and funding represent the "IDEAL" of collectivist' society.
I don't even know where to begin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSmtHBMjXLU Chinese vaults are filled with our gold and the Chinese/Indian workers doing our jobs. That has been a fucking topic for a decade. And if you think we are going to lay down and DIE, you have another thing coming mutherfucker. The crooks running this popsicle stand should be in prison, not enjoying the finest life has to offer, at the expense at the WEAKEST amongst us, the elderly, sick and disabled. What the fuck is wrong with you? ARE YOU RICH? Goddam it. This economy of unfettered and ongoing blatant fraud is so unfair that the very idea of it is Fingernails-Across-Chalkboard. The very thought of having the middle class completely eliminated is reprehensible, and the Agenda to do it is why you are paying for a families' room and board. If you did not, the maestroes of this calamity would be hanging from their chandeliers, unrecognizable. You do not understand that their plan is flawed. We always side with the underdog. It's in our nature, even after medications and toxic poisoning cannot kill our will to live, and we do not want to live alone. We are a pack animal. Get out of the way you son of a bitch. The nerve of you at the top with dull personalities, no legacy but accumulation of enormous wealth, and hoarding it, flitting from one social event to another, filling their pretty little world with agreeable people who never question them.
And he's making a good argument for not having large standing armies in peacetime, in a democracy. They are too dangerous.
Wait a minute. Haven't we heard that somewhere?
We have 100 generals with nothing to do, one general a regiment, soon to be one a platoon, so shooting off mouth is a way to relieve the boredom.
Military men always think they are the defenders of zee Fatherland.
The establishment press howls, knashes its teeth in righteous screams of imminent disaster. The political establishment trembles and strikes out vicioulsly in fear. The imperial armies shake and threaten mutiny. European NATO members cry out in fear and anguish. The elite draw their swords of uncompromising wrath.
Corbyn MUST BE STOPPED before he threatens the lives and livelihood of the established order and implements true representative democracy!
d-post
But Demon-ocracy had taken away the votes of the People. The Elected has given the Weath of Nations to Bankers who do "No Added Value" to those who toil and slave at Manual Labours. The Established Order has screwed up the World and thus lost my trust. The Control over food and oil, banking and wars have profited few and many regular people have died while losing more and more freedoms. Their ends do not justify the means for these Few, I don't like nor want what they bring. It seems there is no stopping them and their greed. Hell, even Election balot boxes have been proven to be rigged.
"We’re not Bolivia for God’s sake,” he said. "
Of course not. Neither were the USA in the 60s. Ask the Kennedy family. /s
2000 "Election" in USA.
Standing armies.....it would be interesting to see what would happen to the monkey with a hand grenade, the Bush/Clinton mafia, and the banksters if they didn't have 200,000 heavily armed 20-somethings in MRAPS standing in front of them......
You think UKIP is worst?? Told you so. Stupid UK liberal dumb public.
The British Establishment now believes it has complete power over the people. There is no democracy in place. What we have is an elite group composed of politicians of all persuasions, who all work towards the same globalist agenda.
This means supporting NATO, Trident, the EU, US foreign policy, bankers, and the business of war.
Corbyn threatens the status quo, and is a serious threat to the NWO agenda. Corbyn has massive support from a waking public, who are starting to see through the lies of austerity politics.
All idols will fall eventually, including "Democracy". It's the best governmental system for a nation of sound mind -- that's why it (more or less) "worked" in Europe for the last centuries... Extrapolation however is never an automatic given, the past is never a guarantee for the future (another cherished idol: "business as usual"). Wake up & the only solace: dig deeper and understand WHAT made and makes Democracy work...
The presumption is that Corbyn is electable.
Corbyn was unelectable 25 years ago. It's says much about the sheer dearth in political talent that people would actually consider someone like Corbyn electable as leader of the U.K.
<I>...
“There would be mass resignations at all levels and you would face the very real prospect of an event which would effectively be a mutiny.”...</I>
Hang on a second! This general is not describing a coup! He's talking about mass resignations - a refusal to operate as an army. Nothing to do with actually attacking the politicians....
The insidious takeover of Great Britain is only possible because of the invasion of third world idiots.
The same is happening in the USA; death by liberalism, a poison injected into the countries life blood.
Liberalism and muslim 'religion' are poisons destroying the world.
A+
but the ultimate death of the world will come via the neocons.
The number of desk-bound officers in the british military sitting around doing nothing but wait for their pensions, is legendary.
They don't have ships that need captains, they don't have divisions that need generals, they don't have planes that need pilots, far less air-commodores.
I suspect this general -if he exists- will sit on his hands when the time comes, and just make sure his pension rights are not compromised. That is all he cares about. For him to suggest that they won't stand for any emasculation of the services .... what has his generation been doing since the Falklands War as they dismantled the British Military capability?
His friends in the UK Joint Chiefs allowed the politicians to build 2 aircraft carriers (in France for G*d's sake) with no planes and only enough funds to run one of them. What makes him think that they could mobilise any sort of dissent whatsoever.
If a coup ever came it would come from the lower ranks, not the be-medalled, shiny-badged uniforms.
"We're not Bolivia for God's sake, but we loved Pinochet!
If an Allende comes to UK we will have our Pinochet day!"
An Allende a day for breakfast keeps the Marxist at bay.
This Allende look-alike is not a Daniel come to Judgment, more a Moor lover who is worse than a boor.
Well John Bull, every dog has his day.
Meanwhile in the kingdom of Oligarchs where Dimon sings "we've never had it so good"; the King of Volkswagen now sings : we've never had it so bad! Gotterdammerung in Wagnerian meltdown.
Sad, sad, sad that its not just the financial oligarchs and MIC-intelligence complex that have gone bat shit mad.
Even our best uber products turn out to be bugged by a NSA type trojan horse of cheating software.
When the zeitgeist of the age is corrupted you know when the raging fire starts but you don't know when it ends.
Capitalism at its bestest !
When Reaganomics (our capitalistic zietgeist) having proclaimed proudly the Friedmanian mantra : the only purpose of a Corporate that sells it shares to public --on the magical market that never stops giving to the rich-- is to MAXIMISE shareholder value; PERIOD; and thus the end justifes the means! (and too bad the dumb consumer outfoxed by Madison Ave hype disseminated by narcissistically grooved Media and the dumber salaried man outfoxed by regulatory capture.)
What we sow we now reap.
California is not the only place that burns.
Thank you the ONG that outfoxed the German fox of El-Volkswagen.
but apparently has some Americans convinced that a military takeover might be preferable to the current system of governance as the following poll (which admittedly suffers from selection bias) from YouGov shows:
Reinforces the fact that Americans "think" they are choosing "leaders" rather than "representatives" and "administrators".
Corbyn's toughest and most well financed and opposition is coming from Britains organized Jewish community - and though they are less than 1/2 of 1% - naturally, as in the US and France and Canada, they have wildly disproportionate financial and media power.
There would be no coup. Some retired general on Israel's pay roll would just go on a few Sunday chat shows to say how wonderful Israel is and how they never, ever do anything wrong.
Hey Britain,
How's it feel to be publicly held at ransom by your "own" army?
This idiot just did you a favour by bringing you up to pace.
Act accordingly.
