We are well aware of those within the military who have sided with the globalists and china.
The problem is in the wars against ISIS, primarily. If I, as a low level guy with publicly sourced information could predict everything unfolding, now - as well as identify Obama and team as a source of ISIS… Then you had to be a pretty retarded flag officer in the theater to be ignorant of it.
But war is a business. Companies get good contracts to do things. Countries have huge economic boosts from having fleets make port and supply via them.
It's a gravy train that is just too good to put a real stop to.
There are a lot of questions to be asked of the general regarding what he knew and when - and the people who aren't interested in asking those questions are those who like the idea of the U.N. and China running everything.
Although, Mattis had an extremely effective PR/campaign team leading into all of this. Many Marines like and respect him, so his betrayal was likely orchestrated specifically for that cause, to get Marines to follow him rather than to follow the President and/or the Constitution.
This is further structured with Terminal Lance - a webcomic series which is popular among Marines.
Terminal Lance often times made fun of the downsides of enlisted service - Terminal Lance, itself, being a term to describe a Marine who has failed to make sufficient rank to be allowed to re-enlist. (We called this high-year tenure in the Navy - if you don't rank up quickly enough, you will need a waiver to remain in, and rank needs are determined in part by the needs of the service - so you can be an outstanding service member and not rank up because the military only needs 10 in your MOS for that cycle and there are 1000 evaluated for it).
Advancement in the military is an entire subject matter of study - so there is more to it than that.
Terminal lance has very quickly and suddenly gone toward insulting President Trump and conservative mindsets in general. About the time Mattis goes renegade along with other flag officers/staff.
This was one of the reasons why I did not re-enlist back in 2014. I knew these people were in league with domestic threats and needed to be hung if possible but shot would be more practical. And therefore could not trust orders from above.
I think they over-estimate their influence, but it is the case that they planned for this. Perhaps it was also the case that they would have been able to achieve this if hillary was the President. We think of their plots as monolithic. They are not.
