recent chronology of the US pro-China faction (or why Milley went rogue)

1)  6-28-19  Henry Kissinger, the ultimate, unabashed, pathetic war hawk widely decried for helping sacrifice millions of lives, blathering on (turgidly) about world peace.  (“For a more peaceful vision of the future, look to the Olympics,” Opinion, June 27)  https://www.latimes.com/opinion/readersreact/la-ol-le-henry-kissinger-peace-war-olympics-20190628-story.html

2)   5-31-20    There in San Francisco Nelson Rockefeller, Kissinger’s patron and New York’s governor, vied unsuccessfully with Senator Barry Goldwater for the presidential nomination.  Rockefeller would become Ford’s vice-president….

3)   6-3-2020  The Pentagon is in talks with the House Armed Services Committee to arrange for Defense Secretary Mark Esper and Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Gen. Mark Milley to testify next week about President Trump's threats to federalize forces to respond to protests across America, several sources familiar with the committee's plans tell Axios.

4)   12-14-20   The (13 member) Defense Policy Board, overseen by the undersecretary of defense for policy, provides top-ranking Pentagon officials with independent, informed advice and opinions on matters of defense policy.  Foreign Policy broke news of the changes last month, reporting that Defense Secretary Mark Esper and acting Under Secretary of Defense for Policy James Anderson had resisted the moves before they were sacked.

  The 11 outgoing Defense Policy Board (of 13) members include retired Adm. Gary Roughead; onetime ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee Jane Harman; and Rudy deLeon, a former chief operating officer at the Pentagon.  Also ousted were former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor; David McCormick, a former Treasury Department undersecretary; a former deputy attorney general, Jamie Gorelick; chief U.S. nuclear negotiator Robert Joseph; former deputy national security adviser JD Crouch II; and former top defense official Franklin Miller.   https://www.defensenews.com/congress/2020/12/14/newt-gingrich-and-loyalists-tapped-for-defense-policy-board-as-henry-kissinger-is-ousted/

5)  “The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is the highest-ranking military officer whose sole role is providing military-specific advice to the president, and by law is prohibited from exercising executive authority to command forces,” Miller told Fox News.  “The chain of command runs from the President to the Secretary of Defense, not through the Chairman.”  Miller denied any allegations that he knew of the two calls before they were made.  https://thefederalist.com/2021/09/15/trump-defense-secretary-says-milley-went-rogue-had-no-authority-to-pass-secret-intel-to-communist-china/
