Biden Sec. Def. Lloyd Austin AWOL

So Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Jan. 1st. WITHOUT telling the President or Austin's second in command, Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks (who was on vacay in Puerto Rico), that he was in the Intensive Care Unit @ Walter Reed.

IN FACT, Austin lied to his second...and said he was working from home the whole time.
IN FACT, NOBODY, including POTUS (with the possible exception of the Iranians, Chinese and Russians), knew where Austin was for almost an entire week...or that he was incapacitated.

Add to the fact that Biden's Sec. Def. was AWOL while the world is in military turmoil...WHILE, amazingly, the US decided to also drone an Iran-backed commander in Iraq...escalating already high tensions in the middle east.

So WHO gave the order?

Whether by intention or incompetency, Biden remained clueless about Austin's hospitalization until January 4th.
REMEMBER...THIS is the same crew that brought us the disastrous Afghanistan bugout.

In short, the Biden administration appears to be run by brain damaged, third graders who have absolutely no clue how to keep the US safe...and, without a doubt, Sec. Def. Austin needs to be fired for being AWOL.

Proof that the Democrats in office are just meat suits, with titles. None of them have real power, even over themselves.


It's like our Administration is run by Milli Vanilli and Vanilla Ice!

Who's really calling the shots?

This administration is filled with idiots.
Austin never told the President or his second in command (who was on vacation out of the country)...that he was incapacitated in ICU.

WHO in this administration is actually looking out for the American people?

I'm pretty sure that Austin had other what he deemed as important things on his mind. Yes. he should have kept the right people advised of his condition. But think about this, you go to the ER and they are giving you all sorts of tests and never tell you when you are going to be released till they release you. Some probably knew he was in there, but he probably assumed that those people would probably at least have informed the president...but they didn't. It was a mistake of judgement and also of proper communication. He may not have thought he was going to be as bad as he thought.

So he started to cover up being away, just like many people do with their jobs. They do not want their employer to feel that they cannot continue their job so he hid the severity of it after he found out more. It was a mistake to do that though, the proper people should have been informed because his job was very important.

I am not trying to justify his actions, just trying to figure out possibly why he did not tell certain people and covered up his absence. I have not yet read what he was in the hospital for, as of articles I read last night, it just complained about his not telling the proper people what was going on...which with his job should have been important.

I wonder if there is any more information around that tells why he was in there. Is his condition going to mean he cannot do his job in the future? Was it a stroke or a mental breakdown? Or does he have a condition that means he cannot presently conduct his job or ever do his job in the future.

Austin might have called Biden but Biden is not competent to remember everything or maybe anything with his condition. I am sure if Biden forgot or understood what Austin told him, they would blame it on Austin.

I understand that you're trying to be understanding...BUT the Secretary of Defense being AWOL and lying about being at work is a lot different than some barista at Starbucks lying about working his shift.

The safety of the American people is at stake.

Some reports suggest gall bladder surgery.
I'm assuming he was in for a secret sex-change operation.

I know, this should never have happened, his second in command should have been put in charge for that time and the proper people informed. He should lose his job.

With this administration in power, you are probably right.

Biden now says he will not fire Austin...or accept his resignation if it is offered.

Dems don't fire Dems for incompetence or malfeasance.
They promote them.

I'll offer another possibility: Austin finally learned by back channels that the ETs are really the ones in charge of the US government (a driving force in the world and exclusively picked for that job) and he couldn't handle the reality of it.

True or not, that situation will be occurring with greater and greater frequency just as many ATSers also will not be able to handle that simple, evident truth.

--Of course, I'm only half joking.

remember when all the speculation over Paul Pelosi started since they withheld facts? Well, until they come clean, I'd wager Loyd Austin is having his pecker removed and surgically implanted on his forehead. Until you can prove me wrong, I'm not. LOL!

"Ancient Astronaut Theorists Say Yes"

Great chain of command when we have American hostages, U.S. bases under attack, attacks launching in The ME, Red Sea shipping lane military operations, etc.

This looks like a classic debacle.

But then again, it could be a red herring designed to create confusion as usual. 😃

Happy misery 2024!

Who's really calling the shots?

I received info last week that they were about to begin the rollout of who is really CIC. And it isn't Biden.
The drone attack in Iraq addresses this also.

I am speculating here but it always was in the back of my mind.
Is acting SOD still Christopher Miller?
Let's face it. Our enemies would have escalated everything everywhere all at once if Biden is CIC. Add to that the ONLY reason gas prices are low and even coming down is only, ONLY because of Trumps close relationship with Prince Salman who has continually dissed and refused to meet with Biden.
Trumps love of country and the Middle class is most likely the reason gas is not at $6+per gallon.

I was aware from last week things were going to happen that addressed who was actually CIC.
This sure looks like something along those lines.
I heard months ago that Austin was always a plant and White Hat controlled.
We live in interesting times.
If Aystin is only a place sitter and not actually SOD then him not informing anyone is the prerogative of a citizen.

I hear Miller is a General now.

I do not know about anyone else.
But it will be a sigh of relief to know for sure Trump is CIC

a reply to: CarlLaFong

Tinfoil hat time, but what if. . . .

What if Mayorkis, Austin, Buttigig, et al are just window dressing morons and a democrat "politburo" is running things, even the Oval Office!

ETA: I guess I'm not the only one who thinks that way.

This is complete horse#. If this happened under Trumps watch they would have impeachment hearings for him and his SecDef ready to go.
