Explosive news you don't know about the recent firing of 4 Star General James Mattis... | |
| John Donson User ID: 32359513  United States01/27/2013 01:11 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I think this story is hyperbole! I don't care who you are. You don't want to screw with a General who is a Marine in charge of Centcomm, even if you are Obama! The Chiefs of staff would have talked some sense into him before he did this. It's not like removing an Admiral from a ship! He's the freaking commander of Centcomm! |

No your explanation doesn't cut it... |

Forget about the idea that this guy is been ousted for some patriotic reason. This is nothing more than internal wrangling amongst the gangsters. Guys, 9/11 was the key to everyting that happened since - Iraq, Libya, Egypt, etc, etc. 9/11 was the gift that keeps on giving. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33077515 it is soft because it is around 1/2 opium. haven't seen it around much for decades Hmm, I remember that (and the crap they tried to pass off as the genuine). And, I remember the blonde afghani hash with a gold stamp on it. Great big slabs of it... Yeah, good times. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1371470 United States01/27/2013 04:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The purge of top ranking military officials continues. This time United States Marine Corps Gen. James “Mad Dog” Mattis was informed he was being replaced as commander of U.S. Central Command not by a phone call from Washington, but by a note handed to him by an aide, Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23014610 "… General Mattis was travelling and in a meeting when an aide passed him a note telling him that the Pentagon had announced his replacement as head of Central Command. It was news to him — he hadn’t received a phone call or a heads-up from anyone at the Pentagon or the White House." [link to www.theblaze.com] According to the article the General was not enough of a yes man for President Obama. Although there is also this interesting article from the Wall Street journal. Note that no one is reporting these two stories together... From the Wall Street Journal: "By MARIA ABI-HABIB KABUL—The U.S. military has blacklisted Afghanistan's largest private airline, alleging it is smuggling "bulk" quantities of opium on civilian flights to Tajikistan, a corridor through which the drugs reach the rest of the world. Kam Air was barred this month from receiving U.S. military contracts by U.S. Central Command chief Marine Gen. James Mattis, according to U.S. military officials. "The U.S. will not do business with those who fund and support illicit activities," U.S. Army Maj.-Gen. Richard Longo, the commander of Task Force 2010, a coalition anticorruption unit, said in an interview. "Kam Air is too large of a company not to know what has been going on within its organization." [link to online.wsj.com] So who is Obama protecting? Nothing to see here folks, move along... So now I ask, who will pay attention to this story. This is REAL news.... Will this get a pin? Doubtful.... This is real news. Who is Obama protecting??? $$$ |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 33115073  United Kingdom01/27/2013 04:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This has nothing to do with drugs and everything to do with ensuring only those who will kill americans stay in positions of power imho. It should not be the job of obama to dictate who holds the reigns of power in the military that should be the job of the people. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1507912 United States01/27/2013 05:21 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | From what I have gathered it has always been about heron trade. Pakistan was growing it and passing it into Afghanistan, they started growing it instead of food. This is like Great Britain and the opium wars with China back in history. Drugs was one of their main exports, seems could still be. It never stops. People in high places over here is into it, too. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 33117463 United States01/27/2013 06:02 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I also find it strange how so many top generals are being dismissed or forced out. Maybe the dictator can't have generals with old fashiioned ideas. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 12582603 Nothing strange. Just no one watched how common it was with other presidents. It happens all the fucking time, morons. |
| Dr. Lecter User ID: 24275310 United States01/27/2013 06:22 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Here's hoping that the Fox News investigative interns are paying attention to GLP tonight. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28232375 I've pretty much given up on Fox... I get better, more reliable, more relevant stories right here on glp. And that's because there are literally dozens of very tenacious web scouring individuals delivering the goods that the MSM ignores or even buries. I applaud these people! They are modern-day heroes. THE MSM IS NOT OUR FRIEND. THEY ARE THE PROPAGANDA/DISINFORMATION ARM OF THOSE WHO ARE HELLBENT ON DESTROYING AMERICAN AND USURPING OUR GOD-GIVEN RIGHTS.

| Dr. Lecter User ID: 24275310 United States01/27/2013 06:49 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Look at this for what it is; a complete breakdown of diplomatic working relationships between opposing sides. obama will not tolerate anyone who disagrees with him, and so far, each of these generals being "relieved" will not tolerate obama shredding the constitution and bill of rights. Sides are being chosen and lines are being drawn in the sand, and an alarming number of military men, and great military minds are not siding with the Marxist-in-chief. The hubris and narcissism of this man borders on certifiable mental health issues, and he will not back down. Instead, he is going to keep pushing and spending and dividing and breeding hate. This country has not been this divided since the civil war, and every damn day I see that division growing wider and wider. Racially. Partisanly. Economically. Spiritually. Even sexually. This is going to continue to escalate until somebody somewhere does something incredibly stupid, most likely a false-flag operation blaming white, christian gun-owning males... and that's when the gloves are going to come off. You know that "five minutes to midnight" Doomsday Clock? [link to en.wikipedia.org] Maybe it's time to starting thinking of it more of civil war than assured mutual nuclear destruction. This crap is becoming more real by the minute. "Moral of the story is I chose a half measure when I should have gone all the way.

There is a huge Saudi v. Iran rift forming across the entire Middle East. Normally, the United States would be a Saudi ally, but Obama has very strange ideas when it comes to Iran. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23014610 You heard it here on GLP. The Taliban was started by the CIA....Why are you on this sight go back and watch some more CNN you brain dead dipshit |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 33018911 United Kingdom01/27/2013 07:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Air America all over again. Nothing new here except people better understand how high the corruption goes. Just like the collapse of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International in the 1990's after the Miami drugs trade was shut down because a serious rise in violent homicides upset the natives. The money laundering bank went bust. The same thing happened when the Taliban shut down the opium trade in Afganistan, though this time it started the implosion of the global banking system. People better understand that the drugs trade and the military / industrial / medical complex are all that is left of the Amerikan economy. The drugs trade is controlled from the top just like it was in the opium wars! The Bush (and Clinton) family were all the same. However there are still people who have a moral compass, even "4 Star General" professional killers! |
