Former White House speechwriter John L. Perry has  courted controversy by suggesting that the U.S. Military, upholding  their oath to defend the Constitution against domestic enemies, could stage a bloodless coup to oust President Obama.

In an article originally posted on the Newsmax website, Perry wrote, “There is a  remote, although gaining, possibility America’s military will intervene  as a last resort to resolve the “Obama problem.” Don’t dismiss it as  unrealistic.”

Despite the fact that Perry was not explicitly advocating such a coup, Newsmax later removed the article to ensure it “was not misinterpreted”.

The article outlines how military officers, outraged at  Obama’s “trampling” on the Constitution, nationalization of American  institutions, rising deficits, unemployment and taxes, could peaceably  seize power from the “radical-left commissars” of the Obama  administration.

“Military intervention is what Obama’s exponentially  accelerating agenda for “fundamental change” toward a Marxist state is  inviting upon America. A coup is not an ideal option, but Obama’s  radical ideal is not acceptable or reversible,” writes Perry.

It is important to stress that Perry is not a Neo-Con,  he worked under the Democratic administrations of Lyndon Johnson and  Jimmy Carter.

Perry warns that America could be unrecognizable by  2012, prompting a coup to “restore and defend the Constitution,” a  prospect that is “weighing heavily on the intellect and conscience of  America’s military leadership,” he writes.

Perry says that such a move could be accelerated if  Israel were to bomb Iran, causing the Middle East to explode and a  massive destabilization of the free world.

Of course, the unlikely staging of a military coup  could be just another ruse to implement martial law in the aftermath of  what would undoubtedly ensue – mass civil unrest and a potential  breakdown of society.

More and more credible analysts are predicting that the United States could collapse in a Soviet-style breakdown within the next few years. In such a  scenario, the vacuum of power created would leave the door open for the  imposition of an even greater tyranny than we are witnessing today with  Obama’s big government Socialist agenda.

It is far more likely that a military coup, even if it  began as a genuine effort to “restore the Constitution,” or “solve the  Obama problem,” would be hijacked and transformed into an effort to  subjugate the entire country under a militarized police state to an  even greater extent than it is now.

The more probable scenario is the one that was outlined by Tommy Franks in a 2003 interview with the men’s lifestyle magazine Cigar Aficionado,  where a military form of government would be implemented in the  aftermath of a huge terror attack that kills millions.

Franks predicted that another mass casualty terror  attack would occur that would cause the “population to question our own  Constitution and to begin to militarize our country in order to avoid a  repeat of another mass, casualty-producing event. Which in fact, then  begins to unravel the fabric of our Constitution.”
