120 Retired US Military Officers Warn of Conflict Between Marxism, \u2018Constitutional Freedom\u2019<\/a><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our Nation is in deep\u00a0peril. We are in\u00a0a fight for our survival as\u00a0a Constitutional Republic like no other time since our founding in\u00a01776. The conflict is between supporters of Socialism and Marxism vs.supporters of Constitutional freedom and liberty.<\/h3>\n

During the 2020 election an \u201cOpen Letter\u00a0from Senior Military Leaders\u201d was signed by 317\u00a0retired Generals and Admirals and, it said the\u00a02020 election could be the most\u00a0important election since our country was founded. \u201cWith the Democrat Party welcoming Socialists and Marxists, our historic way of life is at\u00a0stake.\u201d Unfortunately, that statement\u2019s truth was quickly revealed, beginning with the\u00a0election process itself.<\/h3>\n

Without fair and honest elections that accurately reflect the \u201cwill of the people\u201d our Constitutional Republic is lost. Election integrity demands insuring there is one legal vote cast and counted per citizen. Legal votes are identified by State Legislature\u2019s approved controls using government IDs, verified signatures, etc. Today, many are calling such commonsense controls \u201cracist\u201d in an attempt to avoid having fair and honest elections. Using racial terms to suppress proof of eligibility is itself a tyrannical intimidation tactic. Additionally, the \u201cRule of Law\u201d must be enforced in our election processes to ensure integrity. The FBI and Supreme Court must act swiftly when election irregularities are surfaced and not ignore them as was done in 2020. Finally, H.R.1 & S.1, (if passed), would destroy election fairness and allow Democrats to forever remain in power violating our Constitution and ending our Representative Republic.<\/h3>\n

Aside from the election, the Current Administration has launched a full-blown assault on our
\nConstitutional rights in a dictatorial manner, bypassing the Congress, with more than 50 Executive Orders quickly signed, many reversing the previous Administration\u2019s effective policies and regulations. Moreover, population control actions such as excessive lockdowns, school and business closures, and most alarming, censorship of written and verbal expression are all direct assaults on our fundamental Rights. We must support and hold accountable politicians who will act to counter Socialism, Marxism and Progressivism, support our Constitutional Republic, and insist on fiscally responsible governing while focusing on all Americans, especially the middle class, not special interest or extremist groups which are used to divide us into warring factions.<\/h3>\n

Additional National Security Issues and Actions:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u2022 Open borders jeopardize national security by increasing human trafficking, drug cartels, terrorists entry, health\/CV19 dangers, and humanitarian crises. Illegals are flooding our Country bringing high economic costs, crime, lowering wages, and illegal voting in some states. We must reestablish border controls and continue building the wall while supporting our dedicated border control personnel. Sovereign nations must have controlled borders.<\/h3>\n

\u2022 China is the greatest external threat to America. Establishing cooperative relations with the Chinese Communist Party emboldens them to continue progress toward world domination, militarily, economically, politically and technologically. We must impose more sanctions and restrictions to impede their world domination goal and protect America\u2019s interests.<\/h3>\n

\u2022 The free flow of information is critical to the security of our Republic, as illustrated by freedom of speech and the press being in the 1st Amendment of our Constitution. Censoring speech and expression, distorting speech, spreading disinformation by government officials, private entities, and the media is a method to suppress the free flow of information, a tyrannical technique used in closed societies. We must counter this on all fronts beginning with removing Section 230 protection from big tech.<\/h3>\n

\u2022 Re-engaging in the flawed Iran Nuclear Deal would result in Iran acquiring nuclear weapons along with the means to deliver them, thereby upsetting Mideast peace initiatives and aiding a terrorist nation whose slogans and goals include \u201cdeath to America\u201d and \u201cdeath to Israel\u201d . We must resist the new China\/Iran agreement and not support the Iran Nuclear Deal. In addition, continue with the Mideast peace initiatives, the \u201cAbraham Accords,\u201d and support for Israel.<\/h3>\n

\u2022 Stopping the Keystone Pipeline eliminates our recently established energy independence and causes us to be energy dependent on nations not friendly to us, while eliminating valuable US jobs. We must open the Keystone Pipeline and regain our energy independence for national security and economic reasons.<\/h3>\n

\u2022 Using the U.S. military as political pawns with thousands of troops deployed around the U.S. Capitol Building, patrolling fences guarding against a non-existent threat, along with forcing Politically Correct policies like the divisive critical race theory into the military at the expense of the War Fighting Mission, seriously degrades readiness to fight and win our Nation\u2019s wars, creating a major national security issue. We must support our Military and Vets; focus on war fighting, eliminate the corrosive infusion of Political Correctness into our military which damages morale and war fighting cohesion.<\/h3>\n

\u2022 The \u201cRule of Law\u201d is fundamental to our Republic and security. Anarchy as seen in certain cities cannot be tolerated. We must support our law enforcement personnel and insist that DAs, our courts, and the DOJ enforce the law equally, fairly, and consistently toward all.<\/h3>\n

\u2022 The mental and physical condition of the Commander in Chief cannot be ignored. He must be able to quickly make accurate national security decisions involving life and limb anywhere, day or night. Recent Democrat leadership\u2019s inquiries about nuclear code procedures sends a dangerous national security signal to nuclear armed adversaries, raising the question about who is in charge. We must always have an unquestionable chain of command.<\/h3>\n

Under a Democrat Congress and the Current Administration, our Country has taken a hard left turn toward Socialism and a Marxist form of tyrannical government which must be countered now by electing congressional and presidential candidates who will always act to defend our Constitutional Republic. The survival of our Nation and its cherished freedoms, liberty, and historic values are at stake.<\/h3>\n

We urge all citizens to get involved now at the local, state and\/or national level to elect political
\nrepresentatives who will act to Save America, our Constitutional Republic, and hold those currently in office accountable. The \u201cwill of the people\u201d must be heard and followed.<\/h3>\n
