All US Generals and Admirals to Meeting Next Week

[norman]

Trump/Hegseth are probably going to read them the riot act and fire a bunch of them.

I won't be too surprised if there is a transport plane straight from Quantico to Camp Delta in Guantanamo Bay. It's very obvious that there are generals and others who should not be in any way involved in what happens next.

I hope it is, because that means no WW3 for the time being.

I hope so too but as there isn't any news of other countries having the same conversations with their military then it's unlikely imo. So either other countries are better at keeping secret meetings secret, or else this must be solely to do with the USA. No doubt we'll hear soon enough.

If only.

Well, the timing of this, tomorrow, is the last day the federal government is funded.

There could be unpredictable outcomes, like an attack on Namibia so hopefully Seychelles will buy some U. S. Bonds.

We could fix a lot of that if we just fire the military. I would agree to get rid of it until such a time as we suffer an armed invasion to give any cause to re-consider. I doubt they will exactly be planning based on my idea, I don't pretend to know what it's about, so I will see if I can find something on what we know about.

Sounds like it is little more than a horse and pony show. High fives and handshakes; whisky and cigars.

Trump To Join Hegseth's Gathering Of Generals On "How We're Doing Militarily"

by Tyler Durden
Monday, Sep 29, 2025 - 12:00 PM
Just a couple days ahead of Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth's planned major gather of hundreds of senior military officers near Washington on Tuesday, and President Trump has let it be known that he plans to be in attendance at the unusual confab.

He told NBC News Sunday, "It’s really just a very nice meeting talking about how well we’re doing militarily, talking about being in great shape, talking about a lot of good, positive things. It’s just a good message."

"We have some great people coming in and it’s just an ‘esprit de corps.’ You know the expression ‘esprit de corps’? That’s all it’s about. We’re talking about what we’re doing, what they’re doing, and how we’re doing," he continued.

While no official explanation has yet to be given for why some 800 top commanders are being gathered - some traveling from bases across the globe, major media outlets in the US have been reporting it will merely be a big talk by Hegseth in maintaining "warrior ethos" and things like professional standards. It's also being reported as one big "rally the troops" meeting.

Speculation has abounded, but Trump's fresh words on maintaining proper military ethos while confirming that he plans to be there suggests Washington Post's initial reporting is indeed accurate.

However, there's been a high degree of controversy, given also that senior generals and admirals were not informed beforehand as to the content of the meeting, and official militar-wide messages related to discipline and standards are typically communicated via electronic messaging or secure teleconference.

The surprise decision for Trump to be there also of course adds major security concerns, on top of an already unprecedented situation of hundreds of high-ranking officers are being flown in from around the world.

MCB Quantico is about 30 minutes south of Washington D.C. - off I-35, and has several entrances and exits, and is home to significant government facilities like the FBI academy, the FBI lab, and HMX-1 Airbase.

Washington Post earlier noted that key Trump policies may have met with some resistance among top military ranks, and that Hegseth may intend to read them the riot act:

"Critics have argued that his policies have often not seemed aligned with lethality — core initiatives have included removing transgender service members, ordering new shaving standards military-wide and rebranding the Defense Department as 'the Department of War,' complete with new seals and signage marking the entrance to his offices at the Pentagon," WaPo said.

There have in the last months been some firings and reshufflings of top command posts by Hegseth, who dismissed Defense Intelligence Agency Director Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse, Navy Reserve Chief Vice Adm. Nancy Lacore, and Naval Special Warfare Command head Rear Adm. Milton Sands.

Was Trump not initially aware when it was first unveiled? Vance tries to do some damage control in an awkward moment...

According to Politico, the main plan is to get rid of us:

The White House budget office is instructing federal agencies to prepare reduction-in-force plans for mass firings during a possible government shutdown, specifically targeting employees who work for programs that are not legally required to continue.

The Office of Management and Budget move to permanently reduce the government workforce if there is a shutdown, outlined in a memo shared with POLITICO ahead of release to agencies tonight, escalates the stakes of a potential shutdown next week.

From the office of Representative Stanton, we are told that "furloughs" result in re-instatement with back pay, however there is a strong possibility that we will see permanent terminations. The first programs that will be affected are of course "services".

Social Security:

New benefit verification and the issuing of new cards pause during a shutdown...

Food:

Funding for WIC (The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children) will run out of remaining funding quickly...

Shelter:


The Federal Housing Administration will stop approving applications for housing loans. This will create major delays for approval of development, rehabilitation, and refinancing of properties that will likely persist in the period following the shutdown.

The shutdown will impact federal loans to small businesses. The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) will not accept, review or approve any new business loans for small businesses.


In general, phones may not be answered and responses to the public will sort of vanish, until such a time as this gets sorted. So, from a managerial perspective, this leading organization constitutes a prime example of crass incompetence. This is a pathetic state of affairs when rather than having a way to feed everyone, we use this tax-funded payout system, which is inadequate. They don't know how to address the real underlying issue. That's because it is "profit motive". Things like stocks and futures are doing surprisingly well right now.


Moreover, the Bond game has become less attractive:

In bond markets, 10-year Treasury yields dipped, falling 4.3 basis y to 4.145%, having been pressured last week by a run of upbeat U.S. economic data that led investors to pare back expectations for how low Fed rates might ultimately go.

They are undoubtedly having a squirm session today, maybe there is some yelling, or even heart attacks or suicides. Who knows. I don't see how you have time for military commanders when you need an 11th-hour answer to a budgetary standoff. Perhaps it is about something entirely different. Certainly they will be transparent about whatever's not classified. Someone needs a better sales plan than what's come along so far.

A violation of Posse Comitatus by using the military as federal police to subdue Antifa in Portland, or whatever, remains plausible, in which case they would classify whatever is said that blatantly violates the Constitution. They would do whatever they decide, and justify it later if caught.

Is this the Real Reason The Military Brass Has Been Called To Quantico Tuesday!

I honestly don’t know if this has anything to do with this thread, but who knows… 🤷‍♂️

UPDATED 10:44 PM EDT -- Sudden LARGE Sortie of Air-Refueling Tankers from USA Toward Europe

As of 9:39 PM eastern US time on Sunday night, at least seven (7) U.S. Air-Refueling Tankers have taken off from various points in the U.S., appearing to head toward Europe.

To my knowledge there are no NATO military exercises planned for this coming week wherein air-refueling tankers would be used.

So why this sudden burst of tankers heading toward Europe?

Unless . . . . . this week, perhaps . . . . . something really life-altering begins?????

At least three (3) of these tankers are SOAR Tankers out of McConnel AFB in Wichita, KS.

"SOAR tankers" refers to Special Operations Air Refueling tanker aircraft, such as modified KC-135 Stratotankers or other receiver-capable tankers, that provide air-to-air refueling to other military aircraft, especially those involved in special operations.

These tankers offer greater flexibility and capability in complex scenarios, allowing for the consolidation of fuel, longer mission durations for receiver aircraft, and operations with minimal communication and at night.

Putin just now:

Those who want to defeat Russia on the battlefield should know that we, by and large, have not yet started anything serious.And those who refuse to negotiate should know that the longer they refuse, the more difficult it will be for them to negotiate with us

I am wondering the reason why that swine Starmer has been touting the possibility of digital ID, wrapping his language with neutral terms like "modernisation", "efficiency", "safety" etc without ever revealing the full implications.

Governments look to ID systems during times of perceived insecurity, or war, to tighten up control, otherwise there is virtually no reason in peacetime to ever implement such a thing.

[Kryztian]

I guess a memo wouldn't have done. The U.S. had to fly thousands of people to Quantico, VA at risk international security by having all the U.S. generals and admirals in one place to make this statement. All while the government no longer has money to pay for social security and other basic necessities and announces an even greater commitment to war around the globe and perhaps in space now.

What was in Trump and Hegseth's astonishing speeches to US top military brass?

Here’s a roundup of what was in those astonishing speeches we just heard delivered to a mostly silent audience of top US military leaders by defense secretary Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...latest-updates

• Hegseth announced that the military will require combatants to meet the “highest male standard” in physical fitness tests. He acknowledged that this may exclude some women from serving. “Standards must be uniform, gender neutral, and high,” he said, and if that meant some women didn’t qualify, “it is what it is.”
  
• He ordered officers to focus on physical appearance and fitness, attacking what he called the “tiring” sight of “fat troops” and “fat generals and admirals”. “It’s a bad look,” he said, adding that he was upping physical fitness testing to twice a year.
  
• He also said this was an end to the “era of unprofessional appearances” and announced that officers could no longer have beards.
  
• Hegseth vowed an end to diversity efforts and wanting to usher in a change to the “politically correct” culture of the military – which had made the DOD “the woke department” – and have a greater focus on “warrior ethos”. “We’re ending the war on warriors,” he said.
  
• Rallying against “woke”, he said they were “fixing decades of decay” by doing away with DEI programs, and ending the promotion of a “risk-averse” officer corps. He said troops had been distracted by political correctness, racial quotas, climate change, “gender delusions”, “woke garbage” and fears of being labeled as “toxic” leaders.
  
• He said the department would review its definitions of “toxic”, “bullying” and “hazing” “to empower leaders to enforce standards without fear of retribution or second guessing”. “The era of politically correct, overly sensitive, don’t-hurt-anyone’s-feelings leadership ends right now,” the defense secretary said.
  
• He announced wider departmental changes including ending anonymous complaints procedures. He said the DOD’s Inspector General’s Office (which is investigating him over Signalgate) would be “overhauled” as it had created a culture of “walking on eggshells” and had been “weaponized, putting complainers, ideologues and poor performers in the driver’s seat”. “No more frivolous complaints, no more anonymous complaints, no more repeat complaints, no more smearing reputations, no more endless waiting, no more legal limbo, no more sidetracking careers, no more walking on eggshells,” he said.
  
• He justified his previous firing of senior commanders, saying that he went with “his gut” and got rid of those he believed wouldn’t shift away from policies set in previous administrations. He ominously added that he was certain more leadership changes would be made.
  
• He told leadership that if the new standards he has unveiled makes their “hearts sink” then they should “do the honorable thing and resign”.
  
• In an at times free-wheeling speech, Donald Trump commented on the remarkable silence in the room before picking up on a number of these points, saying: “We went through political correct where you had to have people who were totally unfit to be doing what you’re doing,” he said. “Now it’s all based on merit.”
  
• Trump told his top military leadership that the US faced “a war from within”. Repeating his criticisms of Democrat-led US cities, claiming “they’re very unsafe places and we’re going to straighten them out one by one”, he added that “this is going to be a major part for some of the people in this room”.
  
• He said so-called “dangerous cities” should be used as “training grounds” for military troops and the national guard. He suggested they were “going into Chicago very soon” and said Portland, Oregon “looks like a war zone” [residents have said this is “entirely divorced from reality”].
  
• He said that Hegseth will soon announce “major reforms to streamline military acquisitions and expedite foreign military sales”, as many countries want to buy US military equipment but it needs to be made faster.
  
• Trump also said he’s contemplating making the military “larger” and his administration plans to make “more historic announcements” in the coming months to “fully embrace the identity of the Department of War”.

800 Military Generals descending on Quantico To Discuss WAR

Helena Glass

The Generals Are Coming To Town! 800 of them. Trump has assured all that it is simply a meeting to tell them what a great job they have been doing and give them all a pat on the back. At Quantico. Quantico is a training base for the Marine Corps and home to the FBI. It’s very purpose is training for war. While there is a town of Quantico, one must drive thru the military base in order to visit the town. Thus, necessitating security clearance, an access card and a sponsor. Still, it would normally be considered highly unusual and a potential security breech to have ALL one’s highest ranking military personnel in one location. They don’t travel ‘alone’.

Speculation is all over the place, however there are four top tier considerations: 1) Venezuela and the world reaction to a US open-air bomb campaign coup, 2) Troops to Gaza, or 3) Russia needs to go, and 4) Afghanistan called and said no go on Bagram Air Force base. Trump’s Ego is built on vengeance. What is most certainly NOT the reason for this one in lifetime of ever is to unite every general leaving their posts – putting troops at risk while simply giving them all a pat on the back for jobs well done.

According to various Mainstream media outlets, their analysis sites Venezuela as the reason for the meeting. Trump’s claim that he wants Venezuela has little to do with drug patrols and everything to do with securing rare earths before his next meeting with Xi Jinping in order to have leverage in the negotiations. As it stands, Trump has so far rejected Russia’s offer of the minerals, lost Greenland, is not confident about Afghanistan, and thinks Venezuela would be an easier target.

Given Trump is cuffed to Netanyahu, South America could align with Venezuela creating a bigger fault line for Trump to cross. Given Trump’s riff with Colombia President at the UN and Lula of Brazil’s allegiance to the BRICS, starting a war in South America may not go as planned. A hard landing may see the embattled Argentina military ousting the very unpopular Milei. And the entire area could very easily blow up!

The irony of Trump’s claim that Maduro rules over the drug cartels is punctuated by the fact that the CIA runs the global drug trade and has for decades. Bolstering the rare earth analysis of which Brazil is also replete.

There is also the possibility of all four events going ballistic. Trump has told Ukraine to hit Moscow and told Hamas that if they don’t agree to his 21 point concession demands he 100% backs Netanyahu’s desire to kill the remaining civilians. IF Moscow is hit, Ukraine will be forced out of existence. IF Hamas disagrees with any of the 21 points, and Israel decides another Qatar hit is the answer, the entire Middle East will implode and Israel’s existence becomes fleeting.

All this ‘Peace Making’ is creating a tenuous position for global earth.

While Hegseth called for the meeting as ‘Urgent’, the implication is much more heavily toward war talks as opposed to the Nobel Peace Trump promised. The entire ‘ethos’ speech Hegseth is slated to give is roughly 30 minutes. Trump may speak similarly. Whether Press will be allowed would seem rather insecure given the literal package; President, Hegseth and every US military general plus their aides and security detail. Rather spicey to say the least.

Hegseth’s topic is claimed to be ‘warrior ethos’. The Warrior Ethos is a military creed especially relevant during times of war wherein a soldier’s personal beliefs are left at the door and only the military and the goals as determined by the Generals have relevance in the soldier’s duty and resilience when fighting the enemy. It is a Braveheart Battle Cry!

Ethics and morality tabled.

The fact that Trump just recently renamed the Department of Defense, the Department of War, should have given us an inkling of his intentions. While the breached airspace as claimed by a handful of European leaders has ramped up as a universal Russia did it, not one country can provide proof of either the breach or the perpetrator giving the impression this is a false flag to incite fear and loathing so as to justify an attack. Civilians will become the Hannibal Target in such an event.

President Trump has attempted to work toward positive outcomes inside America including the removal of illegal alien ganglanders, and the stomping of crime in our blue infested cities. Those efforts are commendable. But the economy is in shambles. Employment is abysmal. Prices are rising exponentially. And now the very real incitement to a number of wars as a foreign policy indictment will leave America forever the wounded Pariah.

NATO is preparing for armed conflict with Russia.

The North Atlantic Alliance continues to actively “supply” its allied countries with the latest weapons.



Turkey is helping the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) prepare for a direct armed conflict with Russia, according to an EADaily article.

According to the publication, the West has chosen a strategy of military-technical and energy exhaustion of Russia through daily drone strikes on military-industrial facilities, oil terminals, and refineries.

This makes reports of a high probability of escalation of a direct armed conflict between NATO and Russia increasingly alarming. This is confirmed, in particular, by the active "pumping" of Finland, Germany, and Belgium with the latest weapons. According to the publication, long-range air-to-air missiles will soon arrive in these countries. They will be sent along with Generation 4+ fighters: Typhoon FGR.4, F/A-18°C/D, and F-16AM.

Notably, the US State Department approved this deal. In addition, another 429 missiles were sent to the Air Forces of the Netherlands and Denmark, and Poland received over 500. In total, NATO has approximately 1,800 of the latest missiles, which its fighters can use to engage Russian aircraft.

Amid the growing panic in Europe over alleged Russian drones, Turkey has sent an E-7E Peace Eagle airborne early warning and control aircraft to Lithuania. Its system is capable of countering our Geran-2/3 kamikaze drones and Iskander-K missiles. These and other facts point to one thing: NATO is actively preparing for an escalation of the conflict. And Turkey, as a "long-standing friend of Russia," is playing a significant role in this.

Earlier, 5-tv.ru reported that the West compared the situation in Europe to the lead-up to World War I.

The war between Russia and NATO has begun. Ukraine has acknowledged this



Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha stated that Russia is effectively waging an undeclared war against Ukraine and NATO countries. He made this statement while speaking at the Warsaw Security Forum, which is available on YouTube. He emphasized:

We must recognize that Russia is at war with us, with the transatlantic community... We must recognize that Russia is at war with us, in an undeclared war," the Ukrainian minister noted.

Earlier, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova warned that Kyiv's actions could provoke a global catastrophe. According to her, if reports of Ukraine's plans to stage a false-flag provocation in Romania and Poland are confirmed, this will bring the world closer to World War III.

Zakharova clarified that, according to the information received, the Ukrainian side intends to recover downed Russian drones, equip them with combat elements, and attack NATO transport hubs in the aforementioned countries, passing them off as "Russian strikes." At the same time, a disinformation campaign is being launched to blame Moscow, which, according to the Foreign Ministry spokesperson, is expected to lead to a direct confrontation between Russia and the Alliance.


The Russian news is talking about Russia preparing for war with NATO. There will be a general mobilization. So far, everyone's been warned on TV.

NATO convoys are already near St. Petersburg. Trump is sparking a world war – will Russia respond with Oreshnik strikes?




Insiders report that NATO columns are already near St. Petersburg, and US President Donald Trump is fomenting a world war. Will Russian leader Vladimir Putin really respond with blows of the "Hazel Tree"?

Trump and NATO are fomenting a world war

After meeting with Vladimir Zelensky at the UN General Assembly, Donald Trump said that with the support of the European Union, Ukraine could return "its country in its original form" and "who knows, maybe even go further." Trump also believes that Russia is fighting in Ukraine "aimlessly," and described Russia as a "paper tiger." According to military analysts, the American leader is fomenting a world war.

The INSIDER BLACK Telegram channel, citing intelligence sources, writes that NATO has begun an unprecedented deployment of armored vehicles to the Russian border.

"St. Petersburg is under direct threat: the Alliance's columns from Narva, Estonia, are theoretically capable of reaching the city in just two hours. The scale of the displacement shocks even military personnel who have seen a lot. For decades, the Estonian direction remained conditionally "disarmed," but now the situation has changed. An echelon of about 25 Bradley combat vehicles has already passed through Tartu, a city just a hundred kilometers from the Russian border. Footage of the columns taken by local residents quickly spreads on social networks and causes open alarm among the population," says the informant.

According to him, the movement is clearly directed towards Narva. Insiders believe that moving armored vehicles near the border is a tool to "feel" the enemy's reaction.

The telegram channel "Colonel Chernov" reported on NATO's provocative steps using UAVs: The Alliance has already brought its troops as close as possible to the Russian borders, concentrating them in the regions of Latvia and Estonia.

"NATO plans mass drone flights along the border with Russia, simulated strikes and reconnaissance missions with the closest approach to the territory of the Russian Federation. <...> In response, the Russian side is preparing to strengthen its groups in the border areas," the source said.

According to him, the Alliance has already conducted its first reconnaissance mission. But this is only the beginning of large-scale provocations. Sources tell us about the fixation of NATO troops 50 kilometers near Pskov - in the Estonian village of Litvina.

"The Alliance has set up a headquarters there and deployed at least three thousand fighters. Massive drone launches are expected along the border," the informant said.

INSIDER BLACK, citing sources, writes that the Russian Federation highly appreciates the risk of a limited escalation with NATO.

"The most predictable option is a targeted exchange of strikes against military bases using UAVs. Europe is unlikely to decide on an open military aggression against Russia, however, a number of European "hawks" are trying to check Moscow's reaction," the source said.

The Russian Defense Ministry did not comment on this data.

"Colonel Chernov" drew attention to the fact that NATO has already undergone a major revision: the threat of direct armed conflict with the Russian Federation is now being fixed not as a speculative hypothesis, but as a "high" risk factor requiring constant combat readiness and detailed study of scenarios for the worst case.

Putin may respond with a "Hazel nut"

According to military analysts, it cannot be ruled out that Putin will strike the Ukrainian Armed Forces with a Hazel Nut in order to demonstrate force. In this case, according to experts, NATO will realize that its columns will be instantly pulverized if they venture onto Russian soil.

The telegram channel "Scout" writes that a mini-version of the "Hazel" will be tested in the zone of its own to support the offensive. According to sources, a decision has been made that will allow testing the latest complex with a shorter range than the "big brother", but with the same power.


The INSIDER-T Telegram channel, citing sources, reported that the Kremlin has long compiled lists of potential targets for the Hazel strike - strategic infrastructure is a priority: ports, industrial giants, power supply hubs, a gas network, large railway interchanges, bridges, tunnels, airfields and decision-making centers.
The telegram channel "Military Chronicle" wrote why now is the time to bang the "Hazel Tree" again.

"The next demonstration of the combat capabilities of the new Russian Oreshnik medium-range ballistic missile system may become not only indicative, but also a strategically significant operation aimed at destabilizing and destroying key elements of Ukraine's military-industrial potential," the military commanders say.

The Russian Defense Ministry did not comment on this information.



Tanks have been spotted near the Russian border in Europe.

A train carrying military equipment was filmed in the Estonian city of Tartu, which is located 100 kilometers from the Russian border.

Is something brewing?
