U.S. general: Let's make Obama resign
Cites Nixon resignation, urges citizens 'to save republic' from Washington leadership
by F. Michael Maloof
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.”

Examples of Obama’s Lies, Lawbreaking & Corruption
Source: Front Page Mag.
In June 2011, U.S. Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) said that Obama had violated the Constitution when he launched military operations in Libya without Congressional approval.
2) Gave a no-bid contract to Halliburton – just like Bush did
In May 2010, it was reported that the Obama administration had selected KBR, a former subsidiary of Halliburton, for a no-bid contract worth as much as $568 million through 2011, just hours after the Justice Department had said it would pursue a lawsuit accusing the Houston-based company of using kickbacks to get foreign contracts.
3) Has an administration full of lobbyists, after promising he wouldn’t have any
While running for President, Obama had promised that, unlike Bush, he would not have any lobbyists working in his administration. However, by February 2010, he had more than 40 lobbyists working in his administration.
4) Has close ties to Wall St., but pretends to support Occupy Wall St.
Although Obama claims to support the Occupy Wall St. movement, the truth is that he has raised more money from Wall St. than any other candidate during the last 20 years. In early 2012, Obama held a fundraiser where Wall St. investment bankers and hedge fund managers each paid $35,800 to attend. In October 2011, Obama hired Broderick Johnson, a longtime Wall Street lobbyist, to be his new senior campaign adviser. Johnson had worked as a lobbyist for JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, Fannie Mae, Comcast, Microsoft, and the oil industry.
5) Broke his promise to close Guantanamo Bay
Obama broke his promise to close Guantanamo Bay.
6) Supported the $700 billion TARP corporate-welfare bailout just like Bush
While Senator, Obama voted for the $700 billion TARP bank bailout bill. The bailout rewarded irresponsible and illegal behavior. It redirected resources from more productive uses to less productive uses. It punished the hard working taxpayers who had played by the rules and obeyed the law. It created horrible incentives, and sent the wrong message. The bailout was evil because it rewarded the bad people and punished the good people. No society that does this can expect to remain free or prosperous. Instead of bailing out these corrupt corporations, we should have let them cease to exist, like we did with Enron.
7) Waged the biggest war against medical marijuana of any president, which was the opposite of what he had promised
In May 2008, Obama campaign spokesperson Ben LaBolt said that Obama would end DEA raids on medical marijuana in states where it’s legal. Also in 2008, Obama said that he supported the “basic concept of using medical marijuana for the same purposes and with the same controls as other drugs” and that he was “not going to be using Justice Department resources to try to circumvent state laws.”
However, in February 2010, DEA agents raided a medical marijuana grower in Highlands Ranch in Colorado, a state where medical marijuana is legal. Also in February 2010, DEA agents raided a medical marijuana dispensary in Culver City in California, a state where medical marijuana is legal. In July 2010, the DEA raided at least four medical marijuana growers in San Diego, California. Also in July 2010, the DEA raided a medical marijuana facility in Covelo, California. Then in September 2010, the DEA conducted raids on at least five medical marijuana dispensaries in Las Vegas, Nevada, where medical marijuana is legal. In 2011, the DEA conducted raids on medical marijuana in Seattle, Washington, West Hollywood, California, and Helena, Montana, all places where it is legal. In April 2012, the DEA carried out several raids on medical marijuana in Oakland, California.
In February 2012, Rolling Stone magazine wrote that Obama’s war against medical marijuana went “far beyond anything undertaken by George W. Bush.” In April 2012, Mother Jones magazine wrote: “The president campaigned on the promise that he’d stop federal raids on medical marijuana operations that were in compliance with state laws, a vow that Attorney General Eric Holder repeated after the election. But then the Obama administration raided more than 100 dispensaries in its first three years and is now poised to outpace the Bush administration’s crackdown record.” In May 2012, the Washington Post wrote: “Obama has become more hostile to medical marijuana patients than any president in U.S. history.” In May 2012, U.S. Congressperson Nancy Pelosi (D-California) said she had “strong concerns” about Obama’s forced closure of five medical marijuana facilities in Pelosi’s congressional district. In April 2012, commenting on Obama’s crackdown on medical marijuana, U.S. Congressman Barney Frank (D-Massachusetts) said, “I’m very disappointed… They look more like the Bush administration than the Clinton administration.”
In July 2012, federal prosecutors filed civil forfeiture actions against Harborside Health Center, a medical marijuana dispensary in Oakland, CA, which claims to be the world’s largest, and which claims to serve more than 100,000 medical marijuana patients. In April 2012, federal agents raided Oaksterdam University, an educational institution in Oakland, CA, which teaches people about medical marijuana. In April 2012, federal agents raided a medical marijuana facility which had been serving 1,500 patients near Lake Elsinore, CA. In June 2012, the Obama administration filed asset-forfeiture lawsuits against two landlords who rented their buildings to medical marijuana stores in Santa Fe Springs, CA. The Obama administration also sent warning letters which threatened similar legal action to dozens of other, nearby landlords. During the first seven months of 2012, the DEA shut down40 medical marijuana dispensaries in Colorado, all of which had been operating in compliance with state and local law.
In July 2013, the DEA conducted multiple medical marijuana raids in Washington state, including the cities of Olympia, Tacoma, and Seattle.
In May 2012, ABC News reported that during Obama’s youth, he often smoked large quantities of recreational marijuana. Obama’s marijuana smoking wasn’t even medical – it was recreational. And yet now, he is taking large scale, widespread action to prevent people with AIDS, cancer, multiple sclerosis, glaucoma, and other illnesses, who have prescriptions from their doctors, from using their prescription medicine – how cold hearted can a person be?
8) Nominated a six-time tax cheater to head the government agency that enforces the tax laws
Obama nominated Timothy Geithner, a repeat tax cheater, to head the government agency that enforces the tax laws.
Prior to his nomination, Geithner had:
1) Illegally failed to pay more than $34,000 in social security and Medicare taxes
2) Illegally declared the cost of his children’s summer camp as a form of day care.
3) Illegally failed to pay the early withdrawal penalty when he took money out of his retirement plan
4) Illegally declared non-eligible items as a charitable deduction
5) Illegally declared something which was ineligible as a small business deduction
6) Illegally declared utility expenses which had actually been for his personal use
9) Gave tax dollars to AIG executives, then pretended to be outraged about it
Obama signed a stimulus bill that spent money on bonuses for AIG executives. Prior to signing this bill, Obama had said, “when I’m president, I will go line by line to make sure that we are not spending money unwisely.” However, after reading “line by line” and signing the stimulus bill that protected the AIG bonuses, Obama pretended to be shocked and outraged at the bonuses, and said, “Under these circumstances, it’s hard to understand how derivative traders at A.I.G. warranted any bonuses at all, much less $165 million in extra pay… How do they justify this outrage to the taxpayers who are keeping the company afloat?” and also said that he would “pursue every single legal avenue to block these bonuses.”
10) Expanded Bush’s unconstitutional government faith based programs
Obama expanded the federal government’s faith based programs which had been started by President George W. Bush.
11) Supported Bush’s unconstitutional Patriot Act
In May 2011, Obama signed a renewal of the Patriot Act.
12) Increased the national debt more in one term than Bush did in two
The national debt increased more during Obama’s first three years and two months than it did during all eight years of George W. Bush’s presidency.
13) Agrees with Bush’s support of unconstitutional, indefinite detention of U.S. citizens without filing any charges
In December 2011, ACLU executive director Anthony D. Romero criticized Obama for signing a bill that gave the U.S. government the power toindefinitely detain U.S. citizens without any charges being filed or any trial taking place.
14) Agrees with Bush’s support of unconstitutional, warrantless wiretapping
President Obama has defended warrantless wiretapping.
15) Avoided prosecution of Wall. St criminals
Although Obama had promised to prosecute Wall St. criminals, during his entire first term, his administration did not file any criminal charges against any of the top financial executives.
16) Had four U.S. citizens killed without judicial process
Obama had four U.S. citizens killed without judicial process.
The ACLU accused Obama of violating the U.S. Constitution for doing this.
U.S. Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) said that Obama’s actions might be an impeachable offense.
17) Ordered private company to fire 1,000 employees
In 2011, after Boeing had hired 1,000 new employees to work at its new factory in South Carolina, the Obama administration ordered Boeing to shut down the factory, because the factory was non-union.
18) Stole money from retired teachers and police officers
During the Chrysler bankruptcy, Obama violated the Fifth Amendment and more than 150 years of bankruptcy law by illegally treating secured creditors worse than unsecured creditors. Some of these secured creditors were retired teachers and police officers from Indiana. Richard A. Epstein, a law professor at New York University School of Law, wrote, “Upsetting this fixed hierarchy among creditors is just an illegal taking of property from one group of creditors for the benefit of another, which should be struck down on both statutory and constitutional grounds.” Todd Zywicki, Professor of Law at George Mason University School of Law, wrote that Obama’s treatment of secured creditors was “dangerous to the rule of law.” The Economist wrote that Obama’s actions could “establish a terrible precedent. Bankruptcy exists to sort legal claims on assets. If it becomes a tool of social policy, who will then lend to struggling firms in which the government has a political interest?” Francis Cianfrocca, the CEO of Bayshore Networks, wrote that Obama’s actions were “an astonishingly reckless abrogation of contract law that will introduce a new level of uncertainty into business transactions at all levels, and make wealth generation more difficult going forward… An extraordinary uncertainty has been created when the most powerful man in the world can rewrite contracts and choose winners and losers in private negotiations as he sees fit. Since this is an unquantifiable uncertainty, and not a quantifiable risk, its effect on business and investor confidence will be large and unpredictable. As in the 1930s, a time when government also cavalierly rewrote private contracts, the prudent approach for business will be to invest minimally and wait for another administration.”
19) Supported release of convicted mass murderer
In 2010, Obama supported releasing Lockerbie bomber Abdel Baset al-Megrahi (who had been convicted of murdering 270 people) from prison.
20) Illegally put thousands of guns into hands of criminals
In Operation Fast and Furious, the Obama administration ordered gun storeowners to illegally sell thousands of guns to criminals.
