To start and for full disclosure, I didn't screenshot it at the time, and I don't rememeber every single detail correctly, but it struck me as so odd because of the circumstances, it was hard to forget.

Needless to say, if this strikes anyone familliar and you have a copy, please link it! So with that out of the way, on with my post....

In 2013 an article appeared on the Internet, and it was one of the oddest things I've ever read online.

Likewise, it was a reliable publication that had it up which lent it more weight. IIRC it was a post, Washington Post or New Yort Post. Anyways, the article started off discussing Obama having a second term. The disasters of the first term let several military leaders to believe the Union would be in big trouble with him on the second term. To the effect that, with a second term, it was discussed by several generals and other Intelligence officials, whether or not to stage a coup and forcibly oust Obama to preserve the Union. Several (at the time) recent decisions of Obama's had forced them to consider their options.

It went on quite matter of factly that while most thought it was a good idea, there would not be enough popular support from the public to support a military coup, given Obama's popularity at the time, no precedent for a military coup in American history, and the optics from the press who had been running cover for the administration. The article continued on that while it wasn't off the table, it wouldn't work for the time being and they would have to pursue different options.

It was an amazing article and was, what I believe to be, the beginning planning stages of the information war we are currently in.

I brought this up on GAW a couple/few years ago and someone mentioned having seen the same article, but they didn't get a screen grab either. If anyone else remembers the article, or better yet grabbed it, it may be good to have it as part of the historical record, IMHO.
