Remember back in October when William McRaven publicly said this? This seems like it should& #39;ve been a bigger deal. I& #39;ll explain.

We have to go back to 2011, a very important year.

January 2011 - Vice Admiral William McRaven, the commander of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), picks a team to start planning a raid on a compound in Pakistan where Osama bin Laden was believed to be hiding.

March/April 2011 - Donald Trump goes wild with the "Birther" conspiracy theory about President Obama not having a valid birth certificate, being born in Kenya, and/or being a secret Muslim.

Inside the Six Weeks Donald Trump Was a Nonstop ‘Birther’

Mr. Trump’s foray into the falsehood that President Obama was born outside the United States gave him a base for the primaries and a template for upending political rules.

https://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/03/us/politics/donald-trump-birther-obama.html

Trump got plenty of help from folks like Michelle Bachmann (Tea Party), Mike Huckabee (Sarah& #39;s dad), Joseph Farah (WND), Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity (Fox News), and Jerome Corsi (conspiracy theory & #39;author& #39; & Roger Stone pal), and many others.

7/

The MSM amplified Trump& #39;s false accusations and gave him tons of free airtime. They discussed whether it was racist or not. This strategy of doing things that will elicit accusations of racism/bigotry (to distract from worse deeds) has never stopped because it ALWAYS works.

8/

April 1, 2011 - Trump appears on Bill O& #39;Reilly, declaring that Obama could be a Muslim, or might not have a birth certificate at all. He claims that & #39;everyone& #39; is telling him that the Taliban and Osama bin Laden are in Pakistan. Also, that he would always put America first.

April 2011 - Seal Team Six trains for bin Laden raid in North Carolina on a full-scale replica of the compound.

-description of & #39;PCCTS& #39; and a & #39;civil war& #39; for Europe

Breivik& #39;s manifesto finished with a claim that an "Operation Regime Ender" will set off world-changing events after January 1, 2020.

The deadly fertilizer bomb that Breivik detonated tore through government buildings in downtown Oslo - including Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg& #39;s office and the finance ministry.

Perhaps that name rings a bell due to his current role - NATO Secretary General (until 2022).
