MRS. RONDEAU:
I heard the broadcast on Chalice’s
show last Monday wherein General Cash and you called for
having Obama and his regime removed from office. How do
you think the American people could get that done?
GEN. VALLELY:
When you go back to the Constitution, it says that it’s the
people’s right to remove a government, hopefully through a
peaceful process. If you look at what’s out there, as far
as the people and the government are concerned, there are only
about four ways to effect a peaceful transfer of power.
One way, of course, is through the elections. The second
is to demand resignation, where the people actually demand that
a sitting president resign as they did when the pressure was put
on Richard Nixon, for example. Now with that pressure and
declining popularity dipping into 40% support, then 30, then
20%…basically, it’s a no-confidence vote of the people that this
executive is not doing the job for America. So then you
have the demand-resignation pressure that could occur on the
part of the people of the country, and other leadership,
corporate as well as political, that could create a tremendous
demand that this administration resign. And I’m not
talking only about Obama resigning for incompetence,
corruptness, fraud, lying, and treasonous occurrences in his
administration which are violations of his oath and violation of
the Constitution, but also his entire political apparatus in
Washington and those who contributed to the corruption. So
there is plenty of material there that should create enough
public support that they demand his resignation.
MRS. RONDEAU:
Do you think that we’ve reached that point in America?
GEN. VALLELY:
We’re reaching that point, absolutely; we’re almost to the point
of no return here. There has been so much
destruction to the country already that we cannot wait around
until the election of 2012, in my opinion. The other
important point that I mentioned was impeachment, which is
another peaceful transfer of power. In my opinion, this
situation involves the creation of that demand-resignation
option which will then force an impeachment. Of course,
officials can die in office from a heart attack or health
problems; that’s another way power can be transferred. But
when you look at where we are now, which I consider to be a gray
area, we’re actually holding to the process that leads to
anarchy or revolution. We are already, in some ways,
involved in some kind of a revolution or revolt by the people
now when you look at our financial situation, the health care
plan, and Obama’s inability to be an executive who can deal with
crises. He’s basically a community organizer who has no
experience in the executive world. My opinion is that he
is very naive, very immature.
So for all of these reasons, for the first time in our
history, we need to demand a resignation not only of him but of
his entire cabinet and political appointments. At the same
time, there has to be a resignation of those members of Congress
who have been involved in the corruption and fraud of the
administration and violating the Constitution.
This has never occurred before in America, so we’re calling
now for this to happen in order to save the country from total
demise. As more agony and pain occur within our society,
and the more we go downhill as a power in the world economically
and militarily, the more pain and angst there will be to bring
the country back. So we’re trying to forgo all that
tremendous pain by having this country go completely in the
dumpster by asking that we put in a new executive branch of
people who can run this country the way it should be run today.
MRS. RONDEAU:
How could this process begin, and how could it be brought to a
conclusion?
GEN. VALLELY:
First of all, the people have to act; they have to get
off their derrières and take action. That means in their
local communities; they have to take action in their daily lives
to indicate that we’re not going to take this any more; enough
is enough. So there has to be a groundswell of public
support out there that says, “This government is not in
confidence with the people, it’s not in sync with the majority
of the people, and we are a majority-rule country. So you
know the socialists and the progressives who are on the side of
Obama are not going to participate, and they will fight. But
through this process, we have seen groundswell support from the
tea parties gathering around the country, which is encouraging.
However, we don’t see strong members of Congress standing up
enough. I see a few Republicans here and there, but even
the Democrats and the Independents aren’t fighting enough for
us; they’re not getting mad enough. We are now over
$13 trillion in debt, and we see this Congress continuing to
spend money that we don’t have. We just sent $400,000,000
to the Palestinians in Gaza who are avowed terrorists under the
leadership of Hamas. Are we crazy?
MRS. RONDEAU:
I just wrote an
article about that.
GEN. VALLELY:
And then we’re throwing our good friends, the Israelis,
under the bus. I just wrote an article last week
entitled, “Who Are Our Friends?” We are gaining more
enemies in the world than we are friends.
MRS. RONDEAU:
Is that creating a dangerous situation?
GEN. VALLELY:
Oh, absolutely, because our enemies out there are going to take
advantage of it. I’ll give you a good example:
Russia and China are not our friends. As we go down in
power, they increase their influence and power. And with
China holding most of our debt, the Russians dealing directly
with Iran and the nuclear development program, selling them
arms, doing the same thing with Syria, we are in an extremely
precarious position. We just received news last
month which StandUpAmerica reported of the new scud missiles
being delivered by Syria into the
Bekaa
Valley with 60,000-70,000 rockets and missiles in southern
Lebanon ready to launch preemptively, which is a sign or signal
for Iran to hit all the airfields and cities in Israel.
We know that is there and that is being planned. That’s
why the article and the talk I gave a month ago indicated that
the summer of 2010 is the tipping point in the Middle East.
We could well see, next month, a tremendous increase in tensions
there that could cause Iran to take preemptive action against
Israel or Israel take preemptive action against Iran and
Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. If that happens this
summer, it will change the whole world. So this summer of
2010 is very, very critical to the future of our nation.
MRS. RONDEAU:
Do you have intelligence sources that are on the ground in these
areas?
GEN. VALLELY:
I have two people in Jerusalem this week, so we’ll see what
happens when they return. They just left on Sunday.
We’re working very closely with some proxy elements in southern
and northern Lebanon, so our information is very much on track
with what we’ve presented on radio and television and in our
articles.
So when you consider all these spears that are being thrown
into the body of the United States like a big dragon, you can’t
bleed it to death with one spear, but certainly, many spears
into the body of the dragon will bleed it to death. And
that’s what our enemies, domestic and foreign, are trying to do.
At the same time, you have a totally incompetent administration
that can’t deal with or solve anything, leaving us in a very
precarious position in America. That’s why, if you look
back in history, any revolutions, the French Revolution,
whatever or wherever, has all been because of tremendous pain
that was put on the population, and the population rose up and
did something about it. We’re approaching that situation
in the United States.
MRS. RONDEAU:
In your opinion, what is the first thing that citizens who are
angry about this can do?
GEN. VALLELY:
Get up off your derrières and do something. Get involved.
Make sure if you’re going to be involved in the Tea Party
movement that you get out there. Make it known to your
representatives that enough is enough. Those are the
peaceful things you can do. Get behind organizations such
as
StandUpAmerica. We have people who are doing things,
but of course, we need continual support from the people to do
that. They can go there, get all of our information which
is posted daily, and they can assist monetarily if they are so
inclined. If we had 10,000,000 at $5.00 a person just to
help us in our StandUpAmerica endeavors, there are many more
things we could do: we could go on radio, interview with
the likes of writers, talk-show hosts, and those who are doing
what you are doing. That’s how we get the word out.
People are so ignorant today that it’s just amazing. As
I go around speaking with people, they just seem to be clueless
of what’s going on in the world today. That has to change.
MRS. RONDEAU:
What percentage of the American population do you think
knows how serious the situation could become?
GEN. VALLELY:
I think probably about 30% understand that there’s a major
problem. As Obama’s support goes down into the low 40s,
more people are becoming concerned about his lack of leadership.
It’s as if the Jewish population, which voted almost 80% for
Obama, has been hoodwinked. So you have many of the Jews
who typically vote left-wing liberal Democrat who now are saying
“What the heck have we done to ourselves? This guy has
thrown Israel under the table, under the tracks.” So there
is a transition going on, but some of us who are taking
leadership positions here are saying that we have to do it
faster because the further we go down over the cliff, the harder
it is to come back up.
MRS. RONDEAU:
It seems as if we have a two-pronged challenge with the current
regime. As you mentioned, we have the incompetence:
a regime which doesn’t seem to know what to do, which has
angered and alienated Israel and our other allies such as
France. But then there is also the question of whether or
not Obama is even constitutionally eligible to serve. What
do you think could be done about that?
GEN. VALLELY:
More pressure. There is Lt. Col. Lakin’s court martial in
September, when they’re really going to go for discovery.
Then there is
Tim Adams, who was an elections official in Honolulu, who
has come out and been all over the internet for the last four
days and stated that there was no real birth certificate; that
the copy of the birth certificate is fraudulent. It’s
going through the courts, but I feel we have a very corrupt
court system now. Many of the Congressmen – as a matter of
fact, almost all of them – and even your major media, won’t even
touch this birth certificate issue. I firmly believe Obama
is a Muslim in nature. There is no proof that I’ve seen that he
was born in Honolulu, because the copy of the alleged birth
record certainly doesn’t list any witnesses or the doctor who
delivered him, and there’s no record that anyone knows he was
born there. In fact, it appears that his mother or his
grandparents somehow tried to make it a matter of record that he
was born in Hawaii to make him a U.S. citizen.
MRS. RONDEAU:
Hawaii now has five ways to obtain some kind of birth record,
including walking in to the Health Department as an adult with
minimal evidence to obtain a “Certification of Live Birth.”
Given all of this, in regard to Lt. Col. Lakin’s court martial,
do you think he will finally be allowed full discovery? Is
the court martial even legitimate if Obama is not a legitimate
commander-in-chief?
GEN. VALLELY:
That’s a great question. Some parties, according to the
Uniform Code of Military Justice, would say “No, it’s not
legal.” I think the fix is on and the administration has
threatened anybody in the Department of Defense who pushes for
discovery with removal. It’s a typical Chicago ploy:
“We’re going to silence you,” and I think that’s what’s going
on. With the
Article 32, the woman judge came out ahead of time and said,
“We will not allow any discovery which the defense is going to
present.” They made that decision, so you know from that
point, the fix was on.
MRS. RONDEAU:
Do you think that’s why Lt. Col. Lakin waived the Article 32?
GEN. VALLELY:
I know it is.
MRS. RONDEAU:
So is he figuring that going right to the court martial is the
best way to get an answer?
GEN. VALLELY:
Yes, but the fix will be on such that they’re not going to allow
any discovery. They’ll do everything to cover up some
eight of the ten records that have not been released by Obama
such as school records, and even his name change.
MRS. RONDEAU:
If they will not allow discovery even for the court martial,
what do you think will happen?
GEN. VALLELY:
Well, I think the word then will be reinforced that it’s a
corrupt administration. They will do anything to silence the
truth; they will do anything to keep this man in office, even
though he’s totally incompetent to hold office. That’s
going to happen. So again, the people have to take the
country back, so they have to understand that.
Get up and do something.
Don’t just sit there and expect somebody else to do it.
MRS. RONDEAU:
I had interviewed a gentleman named
Ernest Huber who is running in the eighth district in the
state of Washington. One of the things he said is that if
he gets into Congress, he’s going to push the House Judiciary
Committee to issue a subpoena asking for Obama’s records next
January. He said if that is not successful, he will ask
the Commandant of the Army in the District of Washington, DC to
arrest Obama and those working for him. Do you know
anything about that?
GEN. VALLELY:
Yes, but they won’t do it. The reason is that they’re
protecting their own position and power. Many people within the
administration have resigned, but I can tell you that our system
is so corrupt today that these people are more willing to
protect their jobs and their positions than to be good citizens
of America.
MRS. RONDEAU:
So you don’t think the Commandant will do anything?
GEN. VALLELY:
No.
MRS. RONDEAU:
Even if Obama is a natural born Citizen as required by Article
II, Section 1, clause 5 of the Constitution, with all of the
things he is allowing to happen and causing to happen, what do
the military brass expect to hold on to? It would seem
that ultimately, there may not be anything left.
GEN. VALLELY:
Well, that’s right, and that’s why they’re so short-sighted.
You’ll certainly see a lack of men and women volunteering for
the military, you’ll see more retirements, and you’ll see
more of these people leaving the Armed Forces. This is
what your enlisted and lower-ranked officers will do.
They’re not going to take it any more. I would hope that
we can get some outstanding generals and admirals who will
finally stand up and be counted. Certainly, there’s a
group of generals under Bush who stood up to be counted and
retired, but you haven’t seen
any under the Obama
administration. They’re probably the weakest we’ve ever had in
our history.
MRS. RONDEAU:
What about the Joint Chiefs of Staff? Even aside from the
eligibility question, they must know that something is terribly
wrong.
GEN. VALLELY:
Well, they do, but they won’t do a thing about it. They
won’t address it; they won’t even talk about it. The fix
is on. The Obama administration is a bunch of Chicago
gangsters, and they put the fear of God in all these people that
you’re not to say anything about this, and if you do, you might
as well retire and move on. But that’s the type of mindset
we have now in Washington.
One of my big concerns is the lack of leadership and strength
and actions on the part of our members of Congress of both
parties. Republicans are voting to quash what they can,
but they need to go beyond that. I don’t see the rage
there; it’s as if they’re protecting themselves. But we
have a lot of people now who are coming into office such as
Ilario
Pontano, Marco Rubio,
and Lt. Col. Allen
West down in Florida; so we have some outstanding young
people coming into politics in November, and they’re going to
win.
But my concern is the overall administration and the further
damage they can do to the country, and that’s why we have to
demand the resignation of these people and put in a new
government: for the first time in America, request early
elections due to a constitutional crisis. Now people may
say, “Well, General Vallely, you’re overreacting; it’s not that
serious,” and I can tell you, from my analysis of the situation
(I’ve been on this planet about 70 years), I’m not exaggerating.
The facts bear me out.
MRS. RONDEAU:
You also have extensive experience in the military. One
more question: are you still affiliated with Fox News?
GEN. VALLELY:
No, my contract ended there in 2008. I also moved out to
Montana, and the satellite reception isn’t good here.
However, I have a new relationship with
PJTV, and I’ve been doing interviews with them via Skype.
There is also a new organization which I launched with Brigitte
Gabriel called Veteran Defenders of
America. We
encourage all of our veterans to join that, as it’s a good way
to provide solidarity and also support if we get hit with a
nuclear attack or whatever in this country.
MRS. RONDEAU:
I really appreciate your time, General, and thank you for
including me on your mailing list.
GEN. VALLELY:
Thank you.
