Did America experience a military coup on J6?

All evidence says yes.

It started in June 2020, when Trump tried to deploy federal troops to stop the ANTIFA riots.

Senior military commanders balked.

Things started escalating from there.

On Monday, June 1, President Trump announced that he might use federal troops to quell the ANTIFA riots. No surprise there. Federal troops are routinely used to quell major riots in the U.S., last time in LA, 1992, many times during the Sixties.

Weirdly and unexpectedly, former President George W. Bush issued a statement on Tuesday, June 2, 2020, expressing solidarity with the protesters and saying that only "peaceful means" should be used to resolve the crisis. Really?

The next morning, June 3, Rod Rosenstein—the guy who appointed Robert Mueller as Special Counsel—testified before the Senate in a purple tie. Some speculate that Rosenstein was signalling solidarity with the "Purple Revolution," a codename for anti-Trump color revolution.

FBI director Christopher Wray had earlier raised eyebrows when he wore a purple tie at his February 5, 2020 Congressional hearings.

Color revolutions typically use colors, flowers or fruits as identifying symbols.

See my article, "How the British Invented Color Revolutions."

When the Clintons appeared in purple at Hillary's Nov. 9, 2016 concession speech, violent anti-Trump protests broke out, lasting for weeks (#NotMyPresident). Knowledgable observers theorized that the Clintons had triggered a Purple Revolution.

Led by Hillary, high-ranking national leaders publicly declared that Trump was an "illegitimate" president, who had somehow been installed by Russian intelligence.

9/27
Some went farther.

The elite journal FOREIGN POLICY called for a "military coup" to overthrow Trump.

The article was published on January 30, 2017, only 10 days after Trump took office.

10/27
FOREIGN AFFAIRS magazine likewise urged "senior military leaders" to "resist orders" by Trump, and to consider removing him under the 25th Amendment.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS is the official journal of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).

A mutiny actually broke out on June 3, 2020, the same day Rosenstein testified with his purple tie.

Gen. Mattis denounced Trump as a threat to the Constitution.

SecDef Mark Esper publicly opposed Trump's plan to quell riots with federal troops.

On June 4, Fox News host Dan Bongino @dbongino, a former NYPD cop and ex-Secret Serviceman, warned that reliable sources were telling him a military mutiny was in the works.

13/27
Gen. John Kelly denounced Trump on Friday, June 5, 2020. Gen. Colin Powell did so on Sunday, June 7.

The mutiny prevented Trump from using federal troops to quell the ANTIFA riots.

It was a victory for the Purple Revolution.

Many gloated openly over Trump's apparent defeat.

15/27
On September 4, 2020, Stanford University professor Michael McFaul—formerly Ambassador to Russia under Obama—tweeted that Trump had "lost" the military and intel community, and was therefore unfit to be President.

16/27
On Oct. 1, Gen. Paul Nakasone, who commands the NSA and the US Cyber Command, met with Gen. Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Nakasone announced in a Tweet the next day that they had discussed "securing our democratic processes."

17/27
Here's what happened next.

10/1/20 - Milley and Nakasone discuss "securing our democratic processes..."

10/1/20 - Trump's COVID diagnosis announced after midnight.

10/2/20 - Pelosi says she is discussing presidential succession with military.

MSNBC: You're 2nd in line for the presidency. Has the White House contacted you about the continuity of government?

PELOSI: No they haven't, but that is an ongoing, not with the White House, but with the military, quite frankly...

Trump survived the "Covid Coup."

But a bigger test lay ahead.

Massive voting irregularities in the November 3 election threatened a constitutional crisis.

20/27
During the legal dispute over the vote count, Trump purged the DoD.

He dismissed Mark Esper with a Nov. 9 tweet, appointing Chris Miller as Secretary of Defense.

Three more DoD officials were purged the next day (Nov. 10).

21/27
They were:

Chief of Staff
OUT: Jen Stewart
IN: Kash Patel.

Undersecretary of Defense for Policy
OUT: James Anderson
IN: Brig. General Anthony Tata

Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence
OUT: Adm. Joseph Kernan
IN: Ezra Cohen-Watnick

CIA head Gina Haspel was expected to be next on the chopping block.

"Why Gina Haspel is still there in the CIA is beyond my comprehension," Sidney Powell told Maria Bartiromo on November 15. "She should be fired immediately."

05:34 - 05:41 min.

23/27
Then something strange happened.

On Nov. 29, rumors started flying on social media that Haspel was arrested or even dead, possibly by her own hand.

24/27
It was all disinfo.

Not only was Haspel alive, but she was soon given a cushy job on the Board of Directors of British defense contractor BAE Systems.

Haspel's close connections with British intel are well-known.

25/27
Whatever Trump hoped to accomplish by purging the DOD, it didn't work.

We now know Gen. Milley and the DOD were running things on J6.

It appears the US military ran a false flag operation to stop Trump from lawfully challenging the vote count.

26/27
So it seems the elites got their military coup after all.

I have explored the deeper motivations behind this coup in previous threads, such as this.

27/27
Britain's role cannot be ignored. British complicity in the coup is obvious and undeniable. All this will have to be sorted out.
