He was fired because he ignored vaccine injured soldiers' plea for help. Specifically a female soldier permanently disabled due to the mandated covid vaccine who is now quadriplegic. She was stripped of her military insurance and kicked out of the military and incurred over $90K in medical debt and reached out to him multiple times to no avail. He deserved to be fired.

And being a Biden/Deep State Woke loyalist who pushed Critical Race Theory on soldiers, forced masks on their faces, pushed poisons in their veins, shoved transinsanity into military culture, turned guns on Americans exercising their right to petition the government for redress of grievances following the Deep State's Reichstag Fire imitation known as the "J6 Insurrection."

THAT'S who Randy George was. Not some hero challenging his commander's warmaking policies. He had no problem not challenging Biden's warmaking against Americans and American minds. The only thing wrong with his dismissal was that it took this long. He and his cohorts should ALL have been fired on Day 1 of the Trump administration. Too many still have commands, and will revert back to the worst of the Biden years the moment Trump is gone, just biding their time.

The Clinton's fired most every single top general, command level ranks the moment they took office in January, 1993. They knew a president who doesn't have the loyalty of his generals doesn't command squat. Roman emperors, all leaders through history know this about power. If you don't have your generals then you are merely a figurehead without any real power.

Trump has been ignorant of this history, both terms. He has never truly held real power. And never will. Until he has generals loyal to him. Like the Clinton's, like the Bush's. Not unprecedented. Actually quite normal and ordinary. John is just trying to find any excuse he can to oppose Trump because he opposes the Iran war. I am an Iran war skeptic, find it to be a foolish endeavor that may well end his presidency the first week of November. But having his generals isn't a bed-wetting episode like Leake is making it out to be.

"The Clinton's fired most every single top general, command level ranks the moment they took office in January, 1993."

No, he didn't. All senior officers stayed in place. Many completed their full terms. Changes were gradual.

Freedom Fox's avatar

Not true. They cleaned house in the top ranks. Like they cleaned house at DOJ. They knew where the real levers of power were. And seized them.

Hillary Clinton famously overheard telling Bill as the military jets flew overhead during the 1993 inauguration, "Those are OURS now!"

They knew power. Trump thinks he knows power. Big difference.

Surrrre👌 rfk has made billions suing big pharma so he knows, or should know the true data, yet is very pro vax. Just wants them tested more? On who's babies? And johnson, how did he get so rich? He's good at wasting taxpayer money in do nothing hearings. Paul too. Espe considering his wife bought stock in gilead, the maker of remdesivir in early 2020, and failed to report it for 18 months. Sounds like they knew convid was coming.

Alfalfa's avatar

In what universe did that happen?

Mike Bond's avatar

grok says that is not correct and instead, Reports indicate the trigger was his (and the Army Secretary's) refusal to remove two Black and two female officers from a promotion list to one-star general, citing their service records—while most others on the list were white men.

The Great Santini's avatar

No one on the outside knows. Here is the list that I’ve been bombarded by in the last 24 hours.

It’s because SecWar took the four officer off the promo list and the CSA objected.

It’s because the CSA is a holdover from Biden. It’s because he’s a DEI advocate.

It’s because the CSA objected to the ‘shall issue’ carry permit issue.

It’s because the CSA didn’t want to launch a land campaign in Iran.

It’s because the CSA did want to launch a land campaign in Iran.

It’s because the CSA supported the jabs.

Phil Davis's avatar

Do you not understand that John's posts are about humanity's folly? The medical scam of covid was one of those man made shit shows.

Now he's on to a new mission, one I support 200%. This war is and will be a long-lasting shit show, as all wars are.

John is using something we all need to think about: the past. History can foretell the future, yet in this Trump-is-the-Messiah era, many of John's followers are forgetting this important truism.

Deborah's avatar

Do you really think cult members know they're in a cult? Of course not. John is finally trying to get them to see the characteristics of history's stupid and diabolical dictators, so that they will clue in to the One who is about to be revealed as far worse.

JOHN SILVERS's avatar

Using history is fine to drive home the point that Iran is an Ill fated venture.

But, please be honest about General George’s history and it is likely that is why he was retired.

The most insidious form of dishonesty is a lie of omission.

carolyn kostopoulos's avatar

It sounds like no one actually knows why he was retired

Paul Kirshman's avatar

Or you can be a voice for the truth and refute his sophistic and casuistic narrative supporting Islam.

Mike Fein's avatar

Paul I respect that, thank you. I would be glad to take that on if you would:

1. Handle my three probate issues;

2. Dig into the legality of a major brokerage firm not transferring my microcap and penny stock portfolio, and the tax responsibility if the broker self-liquidates my portfolio;

3. Keep feeding my tax person with new and missing data;

4. Finalize and implement a fundraising plan for a Jewish organization;

5. Practice and rehearse for two upcoming choir performances;

6. Diagnose and repair my router issue;

7. Fit in all the medical and rehab appointments.

8. Fit in my gym and my cardio workouts.

If you want, you can easily find me on X and determine politically where I stand. But a medical forum is not the place for politics.

You can also help by locating any current research on the efficacy of the spike protein detox protocol. Dr. Pete knows who is buying the products, maybe he needs to incentivize the users by subsiding quarterly testing. I have a baseline, and two subsequent antibody tests, all in the upper range with no real trend yet, nor would I expect any yet. I would love to be in that discussion, and whether TWC products actually work.

To you and all other people of Faith, Good Shabbos, Chag Semeach, a blessed Good Friday, and a very happy Easter.

Dear Mike, do you regret having been taken a Covid jab? We have a family where some did and some didn’t and if you are interested I can suggest next steps toward better health and happiness that might be beneficial. First step comes unsolicited: no matter your health or age, seems you are OVERSCHEDULED and under prioritized. ♥️

Not insufferable enough ...

RoseMartyn's avatar

With all due respect, I would be very skeptical of cardio and gym sessions… Try walking preferably near large bodies of water or on a forest trail.

Mike Fein's avatar

I walk outside averaging 3.2mph

Yesterday I began indoor treadmill training 30 minutes at 2 degree incline. I also have an A-list friend who is my personal trainer and semi-shrink. I love working out! We have a small fish pond in our yard where flowing water is therapeutic and grounding is easy.

Dear Mike, Your point is well taken by me. I wish I could isolate the medical industry from politics but it doesn’t seem possible. Please explain to me how this is done, because I would love love love to get politics out of the medical industry.

If you could lay out a plan it would make a great substack!!!

Mike Fein's avatar

Ms Rose, I see your excellent point. The digital medicine BP program in which I participate reads 10-20% higher than concurrent manual readings. I have several months of personal data to back that up. Because I was overmedicated on BP meds base upon the digital numbers, I had two low BP events last year that almost killed me. High BP readings; BP meds; bigger sales of meds; bigger bonuses for hospitals, doctors, and the execs in hospitals and big pharma; bigger campaign and foundation contributions to members of congress and supporting bureaucrats.

RoseMartyn's avatar

Regarding testing: I have a blood sugar test kit which I use regularly. Sometimes after fasting it measured 130 ish and other times 85 ish after fasting. I could not connect these swings to any diet, to sleep or lack of, stress or anything. Until one day I realized that when I took the sample from my right hand it was 130 and from left it was 80. Each and every time!!!!!! WTH, I never heard of such a thing, have you? I discussed this phenomenon with many. Finally someone with experience in TCM and homeopathic remedies explained that what happens differently on the right and left sides of the body tells a story. Diagnostics are different because these sciences ( and the are sciences) model and treat energy pattern very differently than allopathy. I suggest The Body Electric by R Becker MD if you care to open up to the energy patterns that should be integrated into medical treatments. Unfortunately, there is very little compensation to pharma and/or big medicine as these treatments are not patentable and not monopolistic. This is why our current costly system prevails and it has everything to do with politics and history.

Mike Fein's avatar

My cousin is a homeopathic physician in Oregon. The brilliance of your comment is to remind me to contact him to follow up on your excellent suggestions.

Steveo's avatar

That's a good point. Digital isn't as accurate as one thinks and often batteries are used so that could possibly affect readings. I stopped checking it and going to the doctors.

RoseMartyn's avatar

Currently, I don’t think it has to do with digital errors. I suspect it has to do with divergence of energy patterns on the right vs the left side of the body. It tells you something… I just don’t know what exactly! I think traditional Chinese medicine might have an explanation….

Steveo's avatar

Possibly, and they could be designed to read high to push BP meds. I agree, I believe this is why tcm checks pulse in both sides also.

Jeff Lebowski's avatar

I point this out every time I have an electronic bp measure reading. Loudly.

RoseMartyn's avatar

If your right and left sides measure differently consistently this reveals something telling in both TCM as well as Homeopathy. Unfortunately I don’t know enough (yet) to explain.

Hello Mary Ann,

The beauty of The Free Press, is we can pick and choose which stories to read. I trust that publication because it can reflect all sides of any given argument.

Best wishes,

RoseMartyn's avatar

I think Mr Leake is showing ( more or less successfully) how history may not exactly repeat itself but it sure does echo. It seems to me, and I could be wrong, that the expression of extreme annoyance betrays an unexpressed agenda. IOW, it seems to me a forthright complaint would be just to just hit the delete as soon as you see the authorship of the post? It takes virtually a millisecond. It took much longer than that to post a comment.

Mary Ann Caton's avatar

Leake used to write balanced pieces and he didn't engage in ad hominem attacks as he is now doing. When he wanted to reflect history to his readers, he chose good and appropriate examples. It's the difference between his views now and what they were just a few weeks ago. Since he has a classic education and undoubtedly knows every logical fallacy, I think he's better than this. I don't mind reading opinions different from mine; reading other views is one way I come to my own conclusions, but these recent pieces don't even sound like Leake anymore. I continue reading him hoping he'll come to his senses. I'm not the only commenter here who feels this way.

RoseMartyn's avatar

(If you did happen to be the only commentor who felt this way, would it make any difference? Do you need a gang?)

If I share any emotion with Leake it is the extreme disgust of a war with Iran that should have been averted through diplomacy. Furthermore, I am a measured, and a law abiding citizen so sending a couple of amateur ( non Diplomats) real estate developers, cronies of Trump, to negotiate for my country now in a world war… It is not only unlawful but has been unsuccessful to boot.

I rarely ever pop my cork but this move of DJT is getting me close to it.

Mary Ann Caton's avatar

No, I do not need a "gang"; I was just pointing out that a lot of us are disappointed in Leake's writings lately.

Not sure if you're aware but the U.S. tried diplomacy over the course of a number of administrations and none of it worked. All of it was to get them to stop enriching uranium and stop funding terrorist groups in other countries. Trump has been talking about Iran's recalcitrance for decades now. So that's not news. Now, to be clear, I'm not excusing the U.S. in helping to create the Mullahs. In 1953, our CIA pulled off a regime change when we engineered the toppling of the democratically elected Iranian president, Mohammed Mossadegh. Mossadegh had announced he was going to nationalize the oil industry which, at the time, "belonged" to British Petroleum. Nationalizing the oil was understood by our CIA to be too close to communism. So he had to go. We then installed the Shah who ran a brutal regime with his secret police SAVAK. In the end, the Iranian people toppled the US installed Shah and brought back the Ayatollah, who if i remember correctly had been living in France, I think in exile. Fast forward to today. For nearly half a century the mullahs have headed up an insane hate-filled government who believes that killing the Infidel (that's us) is a really terrific act. Iran is a rogue nation governed by an insane religious cult for whom death means more than life.

I saw a post on Facebook that mentioned he was a problem because of the way he was treating the vaccine injured in the military. Please comment on that Mr. Leake. Now I see somebody else posted about this down below here.

James Gravelyn's avatar

Won't happen. You are asking Leake to respond to actual facts. He doesn't do that, he confines himself to Orange Man Bad postings.

Steveo's avatar

One thing he doesn't get, as many, many others don't get is, if they're president, they're bad. That's why they're there.

Dan M McHale's avatar

Yep, but we already know many military personnel have been hurt by the vaccine. It's not even news to people on this side of the fence. The news is about 'that guy'. Do you think mainstream media will be reporting on how vaccine injuries in the military were ignored? How much has John Leake reported on it?

Phil Davis's avatar

Well you know it's Facebook it must be true 😜😜😜

Lilo Bauer-Freitag's avatar

If this is true. I would like to know! But I hardly imagine John overlooked this tidbit, given his background.

steve emery's avatar

He was responsible for the covid injections being forced on members of the military and the cover-up. He is being held accountable.

https://x.com/C__Herridge/status/2039849593202974729

NEW: @SecWar has asked Gen. Randy George, the Army Chief of Staff, to step down. A covid vaccine injured soldier says Gen. George "ignored" her case until our investigation exposed military records linking her three heart attacks to the mRNA vaccine. At the age of 24, @StancikKaroline’s heart injuries were so severe she needed a pacemaker. During the Biden Administration, Stancik was wrongly throw off orders and lost her military medical insurance. After our investigation, Stancik was finally medically retired and received some back pay. Stancik says she is still working with the @DeptVetAffairs to resolve her medical debt.

mejbcart's avatar

mod mRNA injections are NOT 'vaccines', these are gene modifications intoxicating the entire body and MIND of the victim. Please get the chronology right. It was TRUMP and his War(p) S(p)eed FIRST, then came Biden, who 'prescribed' the poisons, and only THEN were the mandates everywhere... ONLY VERY FEW, really good educated people saw the truth in this operation!

steve emery's avatar

The amount of information that Trump knows about vaccines/injections you could put on the tip of your fingertip. He relied on others to be truthful and they weren't. They had/have a diabolical agenda. There is no way that Trump can be responsible--good or bad--for the injections.

Steveo's avatar

But he runs his mouth saying how many lives they saved, and he's the self-proclaimed "father of vaccines." He also said, "take the beautiful vaccine." He's a freemason just like all the other demons that have been installed.

steve emery's avatar

Would you rather have Biden or Harris or someone of their ilk?

Steveo's avatar

I don't care who's been installed. They're all the same. Republicans, democrats is an illusion, as fake as rocket launches and moon landings. I ignore them all and always have. I do what I want, when I want. How I want. Being governed is sheep mentality. I don't need to be governed, and certsinly not by a lawless bunch of lying, thieving freemason pedos. If you're still playing the republican, democrat gane in 2026 you have no idea what's in store for your future, and it's coming feom both sides but some of the worst is being implemented by "republicans."

No vaccines are vaccines but poisons, and the mrna are even worse due to transfection and gene modification. But trump cue'd it up with his EO 13887 in 2019 when they were rehearsing the psyop.

"News of Pete Hegseth firing Army Chief of Staff, General Randy George, reminded me of Hitler firing German Army Chief of Staff, Franz Halder, in 1942."

Oh good grief, is there anything that the Trump administration does that does NOT remind you of Hitler or some other weird, negative, totally uncomparable historic event? What we have here is Godwin's Law in action. You lose, Mr. Leake.

Mary Ann Caton's avatar

Lately, Leake seems to have gone around the bend of logic and reason. I can't figure it out. In addition, the comparison of Hegseth to Hitler is below the belt. Or to compare Trump to some Roman leader or the current war to a Roman war is ludicrous. History does not repeat itself. Sometimes it might rhyme, but in general wars have their own histories to tell, not to mention our technology is so vastly different from past wars.

wilson's avatar

the technology is different, the underlying reasons for war, death, destruction and seen and unseen consequences remain the same.

Paul Kirshman's avatar

It’s like firing a general who says let Hitler make atomic bombs because he won’t use them on the United States. The Islamic regime occupying Iran must be removed. The Iranian people want Islam removed from Iran.

James McMillan, MD's avatar

Why the apparently now "default" presumption that Gen. George is some wise, seasoned leader who is being removed by "Wild Card Hegseth" to be replaced by a presumed "yes man"? I can't find anything suggesting Gen. George has been actively trying to promote cautionary policy, only that he has a history of working closely with Lloyd Austin, not much of a positive. Gen. George may well be a good and capable officer, but is he an Omar Bradley when we need a George Patton? Does anyone think Omar Bradley would have won the Battle of the Bulge?

"George said that perception necessitates the diversity and inclusion training that many Republican lawmakers deride as unnecessary liberal initiatives that weaken the force.

"“[It’s] part of building a cohesive team and bringing everybody together,” George said in defense of the training. “We absolutely have to do that.”"

Maybe that's why Hegseth dismissed Gen. George. Gen. George apparently holds diversity and inclusion (otherwise known as hiring by race quota and incompetence), above military readiness.

Should we wonder what Franz Halder would have said about DEI Über Alles? About transwomen in the Wehrmacht?

How about Athenian General Nicias? Supportive of transmen there in the phalanx facing off against Sparta, would he be?

excellent commentary. If the general was fired because of realistic war gaming about the cost, the probability of success and the economic, strategic, tactical and political consequences of ground operations (and every other method) in the war of choice for israel, then the comparison to Halder is appropriate.

If he was fired for being a woke marxist perfumed prince then good riddance.
