General Milley:<\/strong>
\u00a0<\/strong>
During testimony before the Congress of the United States you stated:<\/strong>
\u00a0<\/strong>
\u201cI want to understand white rage, and I\u2019m white…What is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the Constitution of the United States of America?…I want to find that out.\u201d<\/strong>
\u00a0<\/strong>
Well, General, I am a 76-year-old white man, a former officer in the United States Army (1967-70), a retired Special Agent of the FBI with nearly 29 years of service (1971-1999).\u00a0 I attended Trump\u2019s rally on January 6th and I think I may be able to help you understand the reasons for \u201cwhite rage.\u201d<\/strong>
\u00a0<\/strong>
You impugn the motives of hundreds of thousands of patriotic citizens, whites, blacks, Hispanics, and Asians, male, female, young and old.\u00a0 They weren\u2019t trying to overturn the constitution!\u00a0 They wanted nothing more than to make their voices heard and, if possible, delay the certification of an election they believed, with probable cause, was stolen.\u00a0 You and the media repeatedly claim Trump\u2019s allegations of a \u201cstolen election\u201d are false.\u00a0 Neither you, I, nor anyone else know whether this is true or not because the evidence (hundreds of witness affidavits signed under penalty of perjury, pristine mail-in ballots, xeroxed ballots, the synchronized shutdown of ballot counting in 5 swing states until observers were removed from the election headquarters, etc.) has never been tested in court or disclosed to the people.<\/strong>
\u00a0<\/strong>
Apparently, my presence in Washington, DC on January 6th qualifies me, in your estimation, as one of those \u201coutraged white people\u201d you want to understand.\u00a0 Since you appear to be somewhat intellectually challenged, let me give you just 13 easy to understand reasons for my \u201cwhite rage\u201d as you like to call it.<\/strong>
\u00a0<\/strong>
1.\u00a0 I\u2019m outraged that a duly elected President, the most effective President in my lifetime, was harassed, falsely accused of being a Russian agent, undermined, and lied about by \u201cDeep State\u201d career officials like yourself and a media that has become the mouthpiece of the Democrat Party; he was impeached and acquitted, not once but twice, during his entire 4-year term of office on clearly fraudulent charges.<\/strong>
\u00a0<\/strong>
2.\u00a0 I\u2019m outraged that BLM, Antifa, and other Marxists rioted during the summer of 2020 in cities across the country, and \u201cheels-up\u201d Kamala Harris led an effort to bail those who were arrested, out of jail.\u00a0 Over 500 people, arrested for trespassing and vandalism at the Capitol on January 6th, remain in jail without bail and, in some cases, are held in solitary confinement.\u00a0 This is not a defense of vandalism, but, how does the damage from the riots of summer 2020 compare to that at the Capitol on January 6th?<\/strong>
\u00a0<\/strong>
3.\u00a0 I\u2019m outraged that a president who accomplished more for the American people in 4 years than his three immediate predecessors did in 24 years, e.g. restored the US economy, cut taxes and regulations, made the US energy independent, brought unemployment rates down to their lowest level ever, destroyed ISIS, brokered peace deals between Israel and other Arab nations, defended our southern border, put America first, etc., etc., was fought every step of the way by Democrats and the Deep State.<\/strong>
\u00a0<\/strong>
4.\u00a0 I\u2019m outraged that this same president, who received 11 million more votes than he did in 2016, was questionably defeated in an election in which election laws were unconstitutionally changed in the days, weeks, and months immediately preceding the election, supposedly because of a virus. <\/strong>
\u00a0<\/strong>
5.\u00a0 I\u2019m outraged that a senile 78-year old career politician, who can\u2019t put a coherent sentence together, who accomplished nothing during his 36 years in the US Senate and 8 years as Vice President, who didn\u2019t campaign and seldom left his basement during the campaign for President, and who could never draw a crowd of more than 200 people at one time, was declared the winner over a President who drew tens of thousands of enthusiastic supporters at each of his multiple rallies, daily, during the campaign.<\/strong>
\u00a0<\/strong>
6.\u00a0 I\u2019m outraged that Candidate Biden bragged about having put together \u201cthe most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics\u201d (it\u2019s on video!) during an interview on October 24, 2020, with Crooked Media, a left-leaning media company founded in 2017 by former Obama staffers, and the media says that Trump lies when he claims the election was stolen!?<\/strong>
\u00a0<\/strong>
7.\u00a0 I\u2019m outraged that on January 28, 2018, before the Council on Foreign Relations, Joe Biden bragged\u00a0 how he once threatened to withhold $1 billion in authorized military aid to Ukraine unless the former President of Ukraine \u201cfired\u201d the prosecutor who was investigating the corrupt energy conglomerate, Burisma, with whom Biden\u2019s son, Hunter, was being paid $84,000 per month to serve on the Board of Directors.\u00a0 Can you say, \u201cquid pro quo?\u201d\u00a0 But, when Trump congratulated the newly elected President of Ukraine, who campaigned on fighting corruption, and encouraged him to follow through on his campaign promise, Rep. Adam Schiff blatantly lied about what Trump said and Trump got impeached!<\/strong>
\u00a0<\/strong>
8.\u00a0 I\u2019m outraged that the FBI was given Hunter Biden\u2019s abandoned laptop computer, the hard-drive of which contained emails reflecting the corrupt practices of the Biden family vis-a-vie Ukraine and China and the FBI did nothing with it since crazy old\u2019 Joe was running for President.\u00a0 Can you say: \u201cHillary Clinton and unauthorized servers containing top secret documents\u201d?\u00a0 Do you see a pattern here?<\/strong>
\u00a0<\/strong>
9.\u00a0 I\u2019m outraged that the \u201cNew Oligarchs\u201d of high tech are censoring virologists of their right to voice their thoughts and opinions when those opinions are in conflict with the Democrat Party or the CDC.<\/strong>
\u00a0<\/strong>
10.\u00a0 I\u2019m outraged that an agency for which I proudly worked for nearly 29 years was politicized and corrupted by James Comey who was accurately described as being \u201cout of his mind\u201d and a \u201ccrooked cop\u201d by a former Deputy Director of the FBI.<\/strong>
\u00a0<\/strong>
11.\u00a0 I\u2019m outraged that 13 US Marines were recently killed in Afghanistan by the Taliban just because our senile President was too arrogant to follow the blueprint put together by President Trump and his military advisers for the \u201cconditioned\u201d withdrawal of forces from Afghanistan.\u00a0 Perhaps, you and our incompetent Secretary of Defense objected but were either too cowardly or too busy promoting Critical Race Theory to push back and provide needed oversight of this withdrawal.\u00a0 You succumbed to \u201cTrump Derangement Syndrome\u201d and now, as a result, you have the blood of 13 dead Marines on your hands.<\/strong>
\u00a0<\/strong>
12.\u00a0 I\u2019m outraged about how the precipitous withdrawal of US military personnel from Afghanistan was carried out \u201cbefore\u201d securing the removal of tens of thousands of US citizens, Afghani interpreters and others who assisted the US military over the past 20 years, leaving them and Afghani Christians to be tortured and killed by the Taliban.\u00a0 And, you didn\u2019t even give advance notice to our NATO allies!\u00a0 <\/strong>
\u00a0<\/strong>
13.\u00a0 I\u2019m outraged that you and Lloyd Austin carried out the withdrawal of the US military without first securing the removal of $85 billion worth of military equipment, weapons, ammunition, Humvees and aircraft, which you left behind for the Taliban, al Qaeda, and a re-emerging ISIS to use.\u00a0 I agree with a retired British Colonel who recently publicly stated that President Biden shouldn\u2019t be impeached, but rather he should be court martialed.\u00a0 You should be, as well…for dereliction of duty and cowardice.<\/strong>
\u00a0<\/strong>
I could go on but I believe you get \u201cmy drift\u201d as to why I and so many others – white, black, Hispanic, Asian, male and female, rich and poor, young and old – are experiencing flashes of \u201crage\u201d and \u201canger\u201d against this current administration.\u00a0 If you had any honor and decency, you would resign and retire.<\/strong>
