“We are watching the fall of liberty at this moment.” So wrote US Army Lieutenant Colonel Paul Douglas Hague in a resignation letter, penned after 19 years of service and motivated partially by Joe Biden’s “vaccine” mandate.
Citing other reasons for relinquishing his passion and pension, the former “ROTC kid” mentioned not only a “complete lack of confidence in the presidential administration,” but also that at this very moment there’s “an ideologically Marxist takeover of the military and United States government.”
What’s more, the exit of patriots such as Hague will only accelerate this process.
The Daily Mail summarizes the story, writing:
- Lt Col Paul Douglas Hague … refuses President Biden’s ‘unethical, immoral and tyrannical’ vaccine mandate
- He listed many other reasons for his resignation….
- ‘I cannot and will not contribute to the fall of this great nation and its people,’ the father of seven wrote
- His resignation comes a month after active duty Marine Lt Col Stuart Scheller was relieved of duty after calling out senior leaders in a widely shared video
Addressing the Army’s genetic-therapy agent (GTA, a.k.a. a “vaccine”) mandate, announced Tuesday, Hague wrote in his letter that first “and foremost, I am incapable of subjecting myself to the unlawful, unethical, immoral and tyrannical order to sit still and allow a serum to be injected into my flesh against my will and better judgment. It is impossible for this so-called ‘vaccine’ to have been studied adequately to determine the long-term effects.”
Given the large number of GTA-coincident complications — including serious heart ailments and death — Hague’s position is understandable.
The ex-soldier’s letter was tweeted out by his wife, Katie Phipps Hague, on Thursday and was shared with Fox News. Mrs. Hague said that her husband submitted the letter August 30 and that since then it has been “sent up his chain of command.”
“I would like nothing more than to continue in the Army to reach my 20 years of active federal service and retire with my pension,” Hague explained in the letter (in tweet below). “However, I instead will join those who have served before me in pledging my Life, my Fortune, and my Sacred Honor to continue resisting the eternal and ever-mutable forms of oppression and tyranny — both from enemies outside our nation‘s borders, and those within.”
Unsurprisingly, Hague’s resignation was met with skepticism and criticism, the former because he mistakenly dated his letter “August 23” (his wife said that this was when he began composing it).
Mrs. Hague also addressed Twitter critics “who asked why her husband didn’t protest the multiple other vaccines he had to take in order to serve in the military,” reports Fox News.
“‘He didn’t resign over a vaccine,’ the site related her as responding. “‘He said he felt the vaccine was being used as a political tool to divide and segregate Americans. He then went on to list many other reasons for his resignation – none of which have anything to do with vaccines.”
Of course, it’s also true that not all vaccines are the same — some are tried and true and safe, others aren’t — and the others aren’t GTAs.
Yet while the GTAs clearly aren’t helping eliminate COVID-19 (the most “vaccinated” nations tend to have the highest infection rates) they are eliminating something else. Question:
What’s the result of people exiting medicine (e.g., nurses), the military, government service in general, and perhaps other entities over GTA mandates? The answer is in a response to Mrs. Hague’s tweet.
“100% support him!” wrote Jaxon2010, referencing Paul Hague. “Just scares me that all the good ones are leaving.”
It’s no secret that those opposing the GTAs and least likely to get them are more conversant with the issues, more patriotic, more Republican, and more “conservative” than average. Polls bear this out, too, with a July survey finding that while only six percent of Democrats said they’d probably refuse the GTAs, 47 percent of Republicans expressed that sentiment.
In other words, foisting GTA mandates on government institutions ensures they’ll become even more left-wing.
As for the military, what many regard as a purge was already underway. In February, U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin ordered our entire armed forces to “stand down” during the following 60 days so they could “address supposed internal threats posed by white supremacy and other forms of extremism,” reported The Daily Wire at the time.
The “white supremacy” boogeyman was made up, of course, and the term has been defined so loosely that it could apply to anyone opposing our “woke” pseudo-elites; in other words, the effort reflects its authors’ detachment from reality or that they were actually using the purported threat as a pretext for purging opponents of the Establishment (or both).
Why would they do this? Well, consider a thought exercise I presented in May: “If you heard about a Third World country in which the leadership was purging the military of political opponents, would you assume it was just an exercise in ideological nepotism?”
“Or would you suppose the leaders wanted a military of devoted fellow travelers who would, when asked, unflinchingly turn their guns on domestic opponents of the regime who couldn’t be cowed by other methods?”
“Now, should the assumption be different just because the military purge occurs in a developed country?”
The GTA mandates, again, only intensify our time’s purge.
So it is in medicine, too. So many nurses are resigning over the mandates that a New York hospital has had to stop delivering babies because it’s short-staffed. Not only will the rush to fill these positions likely mean lower quality personnel, but also something else.
To wit: It has already been proposed that the “unvaccinated” should be refused medical care — and jabbed and GTA-friendly hospital workers would be more likely to effect this standard.
In fact, mandates could cause this jabbed GTA army to dominate our important institutions, making them unfriendly to the “unvaccinated.” Moreover, the more you get, the more you get (possibly).
That is to say, as more people accept GTAs, there may be less resistance to mandating them. Not only may many of these people be rationalizing their decision to comply, after all, but there’s also the “Misery loves company” factor.
The bottom line is that the mandates are yet another way of purging our institutions of people opposed to Big Brother and making patriots the “other.”
