Maj. Gen. Timothy P. Williams, the Adjutant General of VA…..who’s wording on the ‘tweets’ makes things about as obvious as it gets, the VNG will be ordered to open fire on citizens for defending their constitutional rights against a rogue governmental body violating said Constitution of The United States….. and the VNG will obey those orders, making them worse than rogue.
This Virginia mess is gonna light off something that only the most insane and dangerous actually want….. “It”.
Last time, it only took III%. I’m betting the white hats now are a whole lot more than that number.
…..and the first time a blue helmet is spotted………….
It would have been possible for Maj. Gen. Timothy P. Williams, the Adjutant General of Virginia, to say, hypothetically:
Commissioned officers of the National Guard take an oath of office saying: “I __________ do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Virginia, against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same…” We will fulfill our legal obligations, follow lawful orders, and fulfill our oaths.
But Maj. Gen. Timothy P. Williams, the Adjutant General of Virginia, did not. He also neglected to point out that the general duty of obedience does not extend to unlawful orders. (If the Virginia National Guard were federalized, Article 90 of the UCMJ say that a soldier who “willfully disobeys a lawful command of his superior commissioned office” may be punished. Note the lawful language. It is not there by happenstance.)
It’s said that any officer above a light colonel must be a politician. Politicians are concerned about budgets and staffing and influence. Politicians are not known for worrying about what’s right or what’s wrong–or anti-constitutional.
