As a former Marine infantryman I can tell you that 99% of the time we don’t even know what’s going on until the day of, sometimes even minutes before.
Even if a Marine unit is/will be pulled into this, your average grunt will not know until he needs to. The info would more than likely only be relayed to battalion level command (Bn CO and XO) or higher until it’s almost go time.
When I was in Iraq and it was my platoon’s turn to run convoys, all we knew was that we were going to run convoys. We got maybe an hours notice tops of a convoy, and then the briefing would take place maybe 10-15 minutes before we leave the wire. AND I should mention these were mostly non-combat convoys, most of the time they were for resupply or to escort someone between FOBs (didn’t even have to be a VIP).
If we were that serious about OpSec on a routine convoy, imagine the secrecy for an actual mission that we are all hoping would take place within the next week or so.
I think he’s quiet on purpose, because he knows it will rattle the cages. I also think all these “Trump is speaking today” leaks are from his team. As much as it irritates us, it’s more than likely making the DS furious!
I remember it asked for my DL if I wanted to be “verified” but I declined. Never asked for my SSN, so when CMZ brought that up it threw me off.
At the most, they have my PH# and email but who doesn’t these days? There are numerous websites where I am a registered user that have the same info. I for one am not concerned, never posted anything, just browsed.
So many possibilities in the comments! I love it!
My guess is Pence was seen as clean from the start, but later discovered to be dirty. From there, POTUS could have used him as part of the plan or let him do his thing as if POTUS wasn’t aware.
I’m leaning more towards POTUS letting Pence know that he knows he’s dirty, and his only saving grace would be to do exactly as he’s instructed. I lean this way because remember, they wanted to oust Trump and have Pence as prez because he’s “more controllable.” Controllable by the DS would mean he’s also controllable by Trump.
THIS.
A lot of people think they know the truth and are quick to shut others down. The only truth is that none of us know the truth.
I like reading other people’s take on things, no matter how radical it sounds. If anything, listening to others’ opinions will help us uncover or understand what is going on.
It’s like putting a puzzle together with friends. Friend 1 grabs a piece and tries to fit it in a certain spot, but it doesn’t quite fit. Then I take the piece and think maybe it belongs here, again doesn’t quite fit, but now we are a little closer to the solution. Friend 2 looks at the piece, recognizes it belongs to another part of the puzzle, and finds the perfect fit.
I think that’s how we need to treat all the info we are getting. If you can build on a theory, then do it. If someone else’s theory leads you elsewhere, follow it. Too many comments here are quick to shut people down.
It could be that they knew it was coming, just not when. Or maybe they knew when, and this is Lin’s way of getting the info out to those of us who will listen.
Remember, we should question everything. So I think some questions here are:
- Why would Lin spread this “fake” article?
- Who is this article meant for?
- What does this achieve in regards to the plan?
Just trying to be rational and think outside the box.
What got me thinking was “why would an accomplished lawyer like Lin spread this story from this kind of site??”
Then I remembered that scene from Men In Black where they look at the supermarket tabloids to get their alien info, and that’s what got me to this theory!
I have a theory...
Maybe the whole “disinformation” strategy is played by our side as well. Perhaps this news site is purposely being used to consistently publish outlandish stories so it isn’t considered reliable. And then when something DOES happen, it’s leaked to said “fake news site” so that it will be dismissed by the masses, but only people “in the know” will know the truth.
If MSM got the leak, think of the panic and chaos it will cause because the masses “trust” MSM.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that if you historically tell the truth, you can tell a lie and people will think it’s true (MSM). But if you historically lie, when you finally tell the truth people will dismiss it as a lie (this news site).
Excellent post!
And it got me thinking about a possible plot twist... Pompeo is pretty much at the forefront as of late, and I agree with your assertion that he is starting to sound more like Trump, especially after listening to his speech yesterday. So what if after all is said and done, it is actually POMPEO who will be POTUS? Sounds insane, I know. But think about it.... we’ve all been rooting for a Trump/Flynn administration. As awesome as that sounds, that still leaves ~half the country not liking either Trump or Flynn and continuing the divide. I have barely seen any flak against Pompeo (I’m sure there is some, but not at the level Trump gets).
So here’s the plot twist: Trump selects Pompeo as new VP, then Trump steps down as POTUS, after destroying the DS of course. That will be his last sacrifice for us, because let’s face it, no matter what Trump will always be seen as an “evil dictator” and what not by the left. And he must make this sacrifice in order for the country to finally heal. It would appease the left because they wanted Trump gone, and we’d still be happy because there is still a “Trump” as POTUS, just not THE Trump.
Outlandish and ridiculous I know. But hey at this point, anything is possible!
