On Friday, The Association of Mature American Citizens<\/a> posted an article on its website about the mysterious disappearance Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. To say that the fact that the Secretary of Defense was in the hospital for cancer treatment and no one in the chain of command knew about it is unusual is an understatement. The situation is very concerning for many reasons.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

As of this column, he remains in the hospital and is reported to be in \u201cgood condition.\u201d That\u2019s good news, but in the process, some very serious issues regarding our government and the Biden administration have been revealed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, the inspector general of the Department of Defense has announced\u00a0an investigation<\/a>\u00a0into exactly what happened that allowed Austin\u2019s hospitalization and incapacitation to be hidden from the White House, the president, the NSA, and even his own second in command, Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks. She had been handling the duties of the secretary of defense for at least two days from her vacation spot in Puerto Rico. Reports are that even\u00a0she was kept in the dark<\/a>\u00a0about why she had been delegated the responsibility. This new DoD watchdog investigation joins congressional investigations already underway.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The statement from the DoD watchdog<\/a>, however, gives us a hint about how this dangerous turn of everts will be minimized. In a memo announcing the investigation, they write: \u201cThe objective of the review is to examine the roles, processes, procedures, responsibilities, and actions related to the Secretary of Defense\u2019s hospitalization in December 2023 \u2013 January 2024, and assess whether the DoD\u2019s policies and procedures are sufficient to ensure timely and appropriate notifications and the effective transition of authorities as may be warranted due to health-based or other unavailability of senior leadership\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cPolicies and procedures.\u201d Got it. For this to be discussed as some sort of problem involving regulations and rulebooks is absurd.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How could America attack the Houthis and provide military aid to Israel without anyone being in touch with the Secretary of Defense? Who is making the decisions? What is the purpose of having a cabinet if you don’t discuss things with them (or even know where they are)? Who is running America right now?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
