WASHINGTON – A retired
Army general is calling for the “forced resignations” of President Obama, other
administration officials and the leadership of Congress for the direction
they’re taking the nation, his list of grievances including the systematic
political purge of hundreds of senior military officers in the U.S. military.
Retired Maj. Gen. Paul E.
Vallely told WND he is calling for nationwide rallies and protests to demand
the resignations and added that a peaceful “civil uprising is still not out of
question.”
In his capacity as
chairman of the organization Stand
Up America, Vallely issued what he termed a “National Call to Action” to
force the resignations of Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Senate Majority
Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., House
Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
Vallely, formerly the
deputy commanding general of Pacific Command, said the current crop of leaders
must be forced to resign by the “demand resignation” process, which he
explained requires massive grass-roots protests and social networking. As an
example, he cited the public and media pressure that led to the resignation of
President Richard Nixon.
Impeachment, Vallely
said, is not a viable option because of “partisan politics.”
“Our federal government
continues down the path of destroying America,” he said. “Americans must now
stand up and put America back on the right track.”
In issuing his national
call to action, Vallely said the federal government has not subsided in
“sucking the oxygen” out of America.
“And we call to action
all branches of government to do your constitutional duties and not be led
astray in the cultural and moral decay of America. We have witnessed far too
many lies,” he said, as well as “deception and the corruption of the republic.”
Vallely reminds Americans
that the Declaration of Independence itself states that whenever “any Form of
Government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the Right of the People to
alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation
on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall
seem more likely to affect their Safety and Happiness.”
Vallely said the nation
he long defended is self-destructing “before our very eyes,” because of “our
inept and incompetent leadership in Washington.”
“The battle is on,” he
added, “and we shall not retreat.”
Vallely, who has also
served as a Fox News military analyst, claimed the Obama administration and
leadership of Congress have been leading the nation down a road of “progressive
socialism.”
The retired general said
the U.S. faces a battle that is unknown to generations of Americans, and that
the fate of the nation is “now in our hands” to enforce the Constitution and
“severely limit the federal government and its out-of-control spending.”
He said conditions today
are approaching those of the time of the inaugural address of President Abraham
Lincoln, who said at the time that people have a “right to rise up and shake
off the existing government and form a new one.”
“Shake off,” said
Vallely, “means replacing government leaders.” He argued America today bears
“many similarities to the fall of Rome.” America, he added, is not immune to
collapse or even revolution, which he notes “has happened many times in
history. … External and internal threats could precipitate this as well as any
financial collapse.”
Vallely added that
“politics as usual will not be effective or sufficient enough to turn the
country around.”
“We are in a war for
America,” he told WND, adding that Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Dr. Ben Carson,
the noted brain surgeon and author of “America
the Beautiful” and other bestselling
books have made similar observations.
Americans have had
enough, he said, and the Obama White House and identifiable members of Congress
“must now depart from a progressive socialist and treasonous death march and
bankrupting the country beyond expectations.”
“A civil uprising is
still not out of the question as ‘pain’ grips the country more each day,”
Vallely said, adding that there is time to change the country in a peaceful
way.
“This means raising your
voice now to your neighbors, family, co-workers and friends,” he said. “Be the
captains of your souls. I pray for another George Washington to appear within
the year and lead us.”
One of the issues that
alarms Vallely is the high number of senior officers in the U.S. military who
have been fired under the Obama administration, a toll estimated at one officer
per week. Indeed, Vallely has been very
outspoken to what he calls a “purge” of the U.S. military by the Obama
administration — with a stunning nine generals and flag officers relieved
of duty this year alone.
WND has been reporting on
the surge of firings, suspensions and dismissals, for which Vallely has assigned a good portion of the
blame to Obama’s close adviser, Valerie Jarrett. Rampant “political
correctness” due to her influence, Vallely tells WND, is now permeating the
military and negatively affecting everyone from top generals to the ranks of
the enlisted.
According to Vallely,
Obama is “intentionally weakening and gutting our military, Pentagon and
reducing the U.S. as a superpower, and anyone in the ranks who disagrees or
speaks out is being purged.”
Vallely equated the current treatment of
U.S. senior military officers watching over what is said and done among
mid-level officers and enlisted ranks to that of the “political commissars from
the Communist era.”
He also told WND that the White House won’t
investigate its own officials, but finds it easy to fire military commanders
“who have given their lives for their country.”
“Obama will not purge a
civilian or political appointee because they have bought into Obama’s
ideology,” Vallely said. “The White House protects their own. That’s why they
stalled on the investigation into Fast and Furious, Benghazi and Obamacare.
He’s intentionally weakening and gutting our military, Pentagon and reducing us
as a superpower, and anyone in the ranks who disagrees or speaks out is being
purged.”
He’s far from alone in
his concerns about the military purge, as J.D.
Gordon, a retired Navy commander and a former Pentagon spokesman in the
Office of the Secretary of Defense, says the Obama administration is rushing to
unload senior officers whom he believes have become “political pawns” dismissed
for questionable reasons.
Retired Army Maj. Gen.
Patrick Brady, a recipient of the U.S. military’s highest decoration, the Medal
of Honor, similarly has told WND that Obama needs to apply the same standards
to his political appointees as he does to the military.
“Just when you thought
the leadership of this government could not get any worse, it does,” Brady
said. “Never in history has an administration spawned another scandal to cover
the current one.”
This was a reference to
the recent firing of a number of generals to mask “Obama’s serial scandals, all
prefaced by lies – Fast and Furious, Benghazi, NSA, IRS,” among others, said
Brady, former president of the Congressional Medal of Honor Society.
Retired Army Lt. Gen. William G. “Jerry”
Boykin, who was a founding member of Delta Force and later deputy
undersecretary of defense for intelligence under President George W. Bush,
tells WND it is worrying that four-star generals are being retired at the rate
that has occurred under Obama.
“Over the past three
years, it is unprecedented for the number of four-star generals to be relieved
of duty, and not necessarily relieved for cause,” Boykin said. “I believe there
is a purging of the military. The problem is worse than we have ever seen.”
