‘Seditious Six’ Beg Rogue Spooks For Another Russia Hoax 

Congressional Democrats may have publicly committed an act of sedition against the United States of America. These politicians, now known as the “Seditious Six,” are encouraging insubordination to intentionally drive a wedge between the military and the commander-in-chief.

The propaganda video, posted by a former CIA officer-turned-senator, hypnotically suggests that military and intelligence officials should “refuse illegal orders.” These Democrats were unable to cite any specific “illegal orders” when pressed by multiple corporate media anchors over the weekend. Their campaign intended to recruit a new wave of lawfare-focused military and intel officials — like the ones who weaponized their agencies against President Trump — to commit congressionally approved sedition. 

In response, the Department of War has launched an investigation into retired Capt. Mark Kelly over allegations of misconduct. Last week, President Trump referred to the lawmakers in the video as “traitors.” This investigation is proof that the Trump administration recognizes this to be a clear and present danger, not just baseless rhetoric. 

It’s no secret that military and intelligence communities have been infiltrated by leftist operatives who prioritize political power over their sworn duty to defend our country. The most egregious examples include former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, former CIA Director John Brennan, and the countless military officials who supported an unlawful order by mandating their fellow service members to take the Covid-19 shot. The “Seditious Six” want this video to inspire more unelected bureaucrats to help undermine President Trump.

Milley, the highest-ranking military official during Trump’s first term, is the exact type of military officer this video is targeting. Milley earned degrees from the liberal institutions of Princeton and Columbia University. He infamously told the House Armed Services Committee he wanted to “understand white rage, and I’m white.” More seriously, he allegedly told Chinese military officials he would undermine President Trump by providing an early warning before an attack from the United States. Many legal scholars agree with Trump that this is an act of treason. Yet Joe Biden rewarded Milley’s treachery with an unconditional, blanket pardon.

This video hopes to target other officials like former CIA Director John Brennan, who weaponized his agency to attack Donald Trump. Brennan is currently under criminal investigation for the Russia-collusion hoax that systematically undermined Trump’s chances of winning the 2016 election. The effects of the hoax were felt through 2017, as it distracted congressional Republicans and nearly halted Trump’s policy agenda. In 2018, Brennan also coincidentally endorsed Elissa Slotkin, his former CIA colleague featured in the video, by saying she “will help derail the Trump train.”

The implementation of the unlawful Covid-19 shot mandate set a frightening precedent; it is proof that the military can be influenced by leftist propaganda. As a former military officer in the Iowa Army National Guard, I felt the effects of this unlawful order. It was shocking to see so many military leaders passionately enforce this mandate. Clearly, the most ruthless implementers were also shamelessly left-wing. Those opportunistic radicals may view this video as a wink and a nod to resist the duly elected president. 

The U.S. military is heavily involved in operations across the globe, from Ukraine to Venezuela. Respecting the president’s role as commander-in-chief is imperative now more than ever as the crisis in Venezuela continues to escalate. Troops in the field can’t succeed amid open calls for defiance. During prior national emergencies, such as at the dawn of World War II or the start of the Civil War, maintaining military order played a key role in operational success. Military structure ensures national survival. 

Congress doesn’t have the authority to tell service members to make personal decisions about the law. Democrats circumvent the rule of law when they argue it is a moral duty to defy orders. They are unqualified to have judicial decisions placed in their hands. Previous administrations ordered morally questionable operations, such as Barack Obama’s airstrikes in Yemen, which killed four American citizens. Despite moral objections, service members carried out the order because it came from their commanding officer.  

Democrats want service members to engage in rebellion. Since Trump took office, Democrats have encouraged their followers to engage in violence against the federal government. Over the past few months, ICE and Border Patrol agents have been the targets of violence. The justice system is now poisoned with Democrat judges and jurors who refuse to protect assaulted federal officers. This negatively affects law enforcement operations and puts officers in danger.  

Democrats are intentionally undermining the chain of command. The Trump administration has a responsibility to use the full extent of the law to prosecute this behavior. This poses an enormous threat to current federal and military operations as well as the country’s constitutional order.
