I think its a good time to revisit one of my Favorite movies, A warning from the past, 7 Days in May

This is just the trailer but the full movie can be rented, its about treason, insurrection & a cult of personalities, sound familiar?

1. At the time people thought it was fantasy. Could never happen in America. nt

2. also remember reading the book...

altho it was a century ago. Good movie as well...might be interesting to revisit now...

3. It only took a few hundred willing military particpants

Along with some rabid media and Congressional types to make it plausible.

4. I remember watching that one weekend back when I was in the Air Force. Chilling. nt

5. Both book and movie, excellent

and chilling. I've always know it was possible.

6. We had Curtis LeMay to worry about then.

We have civilians to worry more about now. Just sayin.

[Lord Ludd]

9. Fortunately we have a sane JCS Chairman (Milley)

who is committed to keeping the military out of politics.

Imagine having a nutjob like LeMay whispering sweet nothings in Trump's shell-like ear.

7. The Madison Square Garden crowd in the trailer (1:18) sound like they are chanting...

...."We want Trump!". Go figure.
