Joachim Hagopian, A Retrospective Look at US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin III

Joachim Hagopian

My freshman roommates at West Point, John Abizaid and Karl Eikenberry, ended up commanding generals in charge of losing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, then rewarded with membership to the notorious Council on Foreign Relations and US ambassadorships in Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan respectively. Our alma mater, the famous brass factory on the Hudson since 1802, in recent decades is notorious for churning out cookie-cutter, rotten to the “Corps” leadership, disgracefully losing every American war since World War II by diabolical elite design. I’ve written extensively about all these leaders in both articles and my West Point exposé Don’t Let the Bastards Getcha Down.

As a West Point graduate from the Class of 1973, when our current US Defense “leader” Lloyd Austin was a plebe (first year cadet), I was his assistant squad leader. In recent news as the US current Defense Secretary, Lloyd Austin made a surprise visit this week on Tuesday March 7^th to Iraq, in a feeble attempt to reassure our dwindling Middle Eastern allies that the US military presence will remain in this war-torn nation and region that the US singlehandedly destroys as decimated failed states -Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya to name a few. On the 20-year anniversary of America’s infamous Iraq invasion, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin was front and center in Baghdad, pronouncing to the world:

We are focused on the mission of defeating Daesh [ISIS]. We are here for no other purpose.

This presentation delves into a deeper dive exploring Austin’s relationship with ISIS terrorists, and how his focus wasn’t always so focused on defeating ISIS at all. Let’s start with the Iraq War. Predicated on General Colin Powell’s boldface lie before the UN Security Council, that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction, the US initiated another of its false flag excuses justifying another long war, this time in Iraq, after the planned Afghanistan invasion had kicked off right after the also long planned 9/11 debacle. Hence, two decades ago, the war on terror was well under way.

While my West Point roommate General John Abizaid was serving as Bush’s CENTCOM commander leading the wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan from 2003 to his 2007 retirement, Brig. General Lloyd Austin was also deployed to Iraq. In March 2003 at the war’s outset invasion, as assistant division commander of the 3^rd Infantry Division, Brigadier General Lloyd Austin led an alleged intense weeklong march northward from Kuwait to Baghdad amidst “heat of battle” resistance from the Iraqi army. Within the month, both Austin and his boss, 3^rd Infantry Division Commander Major General Buford Blount, who recommended Austin for the Silver Star medal, were both approved of as Silver Star recipients by V Corps Commander Lt. General William Wallace. With both Austin and Blount awarded Silver Stars based on the same march to Baghdad is highly suspect. Turns out that only one other general “earned” the coveted Silver Star, the third highest award for valor in combat, in all of this century’s Middle East wars, drawing close controversial scrutiny that questions, if not contradicts, the lofty heroics depicted in Austin’s award inscription, in what’s been alleged to be a fictionalized “official” version of events.

Bottom line, generals generally don’t lead their troops behind enemy lines, but are safely “squared away” within the comfort of their division headquarters. In other words, like most everything these days, what you see may not be what you necessarily get with Lloyd Austin III. From an August 27, 2021 American Thinker article titled “Lloyd Austin, Master of Defeat”:

So how did he win this medal serving behind the lines as the assistant division commander? Did all the other soldiers serving at the division headquarters also win the Silver Star? Guess not.

Reminds me how current energy czar John Kerry flying in his private jets at tax-paid expense leaving tons of carbon footprints everywhere he goes, received his bogus medals in Vietnam. While General Austin participated in the failed US invasion of Iraq in what would end another humiliating US war defeat in the Middle East, it’s far surpassed by the same Lloyd Austin as US Defense Secretary’s far more disastrous, “incompetent” blunder in August 2021 Afghanistan, as America’s most disgraceful exit war strategy ever executed in its longest war defeat in US history… some high mark of achievement. Leaving thousands of Americans stranded behind enemy lines in Afghanistan, Defense Secretary Austin shrugged it off saying:

We don’t have the capability to go out and collect up large numbers of people.

Lloyd Austin III is a primary example and product benefiting from America’s push for racial diversity, promoted up the military seniority ladder not based on any concrete, proven merit, but intentionally based on his own track record of abysmal failure, but primarily based on his skin color, combined with his ass kissing incompetence, notably his mutual lip-lock relationship with Imposter-in-Thief Joe Biden.

Under Lloyd’s boss at the time, the first black commander-in-chief, traitor Barack Obama, was called out in 2015 by African American media entrepreneur Byron Allen as “the white president in blackface,” from 2009 to 2016 General Austin jumped three ranks higher to the top under Obama, elevated to the position of first black four-star CENTCOM commander in charge of all three US war losses in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. Was Lloyd’s fast track meteoric rise to grand chessboard failure during the Obama years based on any actual merit, or was it the same reason Obama became president – America’s push for token diversity? At the outset of Austin taking on the job heading America’s national defense, the top 25 highest ranking military officers were all white. Call it good historic timing, like Obama, Austin took full advantage as the token affirmative action beneficiary.

Based on knowing him from his early West Point days as a robotic “beanhead,” and General Austin’s record of nonstop incompetence from 2009 to 2016 alone, right up to this day, combined with historic racism in the ranks and working under the first mixed black “president in blackface,” I’d say Lloyd Austin can thank his lucky stars as the first black US Secretary of Defense, because it has everything to do with Biden’s policy prioritizing woke diversity and inclusion over any real merit, substance or competence. Look at some of Biden’s “diverse” actors in his clown show presentation, the crossdressing US Energy Department criminal addicted to stealing and wearing women’s clothes, his transsexual Assistant Secretary of Health, a he/she doctor dressed as a fake admiral pretending to be a fake woman, avidly pushing the genocidal death jab, to Biden’s constant boast that his administration is America’s most ethnically diverse in presidential history. Never mind that it’s also rated by Americans to be the worst in modern history, not to mention his perverted woke policy that’s blatantly guilty of reverse race discrimination for bypassing so many more qualified candidates, and finally never mind that virtually all his top cabinet positions are comprised of the same ethnic tribe – Khazarian/Ashkenazi, non-Hebrew, non-Jews doing the Khazarian bidding of their Satanic mafia overlord masters, yep, all the usual suspects – more Khazarian planetary controllers – the Rothschild, Rockefeller and even the now Khazarian British royal family bloodlines…. not much diversity when it comes to the real ruling class powers running this world.

Now for a closer examination at Austin’s undistinguished military career during his last seven years under Obama, centering on Lloyd’s less than stellar performance leading America’s Middle Eastern wars, and the totally incompetent ways he lost all of them. President Obama, VP Joe Biden, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, her successor Skull and Bonesman John Kerry, General David Petraeus turned CIA director and his successor John Brennan, and National Security Adviser James Clapper, all US traitors that covertly created, financed and trained the world’s largest terrorist organization – Islamic State terrorists on Obama et al and Austin’s watch, similar to creating and sponsoring al Qaeda terrorism under the war criminal Bush regime.

Out of the Obama administration, only General Michael Flynn as director of Obama’s Defense Intelligence Agency, advised against the risk of supporting ISIS, warning it could easily backfire, which of course by design, it did. Michael Flynn was then fired and later Obama vindictively crucified Flynn as Trump’s first National Security Advisor for a couple weeks, due to false FBI allegations that forced him to resign. Flynn as military intelligence head, had all the goods on the Epstein-Pizzagate pervs, and when Flynn began tweeting about Hillary’s pedo-connections, the Obama-Clinton-Biden-Podesta crime family Deep State cabal ensured that Michael Flynn’s heyday was abruptly over.

After a 41-year career in the military retiring in April 2016, General Lloyd Austin III did the typical turnstile circuit for several years, moving from active military duty to sitting on boards of director positions in various military industrial complex giants, from Booz Allen Hamilton to Raytheon Technologies among others, prior to entering his current public sector government job in charge of our national security. Obviously inherent in this rotational cycle comes lots of conflicts of interest perks to be greedily taken full advantage of. Austin is the perfect beholding stooge, otherwise known as useful idiot. But that never stops these psychopathic profiteers of war and destruction. Nope, not Lloyd.

The treasonous US government under both Bush and Obama secretly supported terrorism by al Qaeda and Islamic State as the US proxy war allies, brutally wreaking havoc throughout the Middle East by day, then in the dead of night, sleeping in the same unholy bed together. As the top commanding 4-star general in charge of all three Middle Eastern wars from 2013 to 2016 under President Obama, General Austin was a key member of the treasonous Obama wartime policymakers. That’s why it’s no surprise the US war commander in Syria would set up an exorbitant taxpaid DoD program ostensibly to recruit and train Syrians to fight ISIS and how that half-ass gesture would fail so miserably. According to a September 17, 2015 ABC article, General Austin told the US Senate Armed Services Committee that during the program’s first five months:

Only ‘four or five’ of the first 54 US trained moderate Syrian fighters remain in the fight against ISIS.

During the congressional hearing when the embarrassed, pressed general was probed to further explain why only “four or five” of his supposed first class of 54 trained program graduates in July were still fighting terrorists in September, Austin was forced to admit that 49 or 50 of them fled their first battle encounter with the Islamic State allied terrorist group Al Nusra Front. The trained “antiterrorists” ran from the enemy despite US airstrikes called in immediately to successfully repel the Al Nusra attack.

Accompanied also at the hearing was Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Christine Wormuth, who covered for the incompetent general when asked how come the number of current program trainees was only 100 to 120, falling so drastically short of its objective to train 5,400 anti-ISIS fighters, per ABC, she offered this feeble excuse:

[Wormuth] attributed the low number of trainees to the stringent vetting standards being used by Centcom to prevent extremists from entering the program.

That was short for saying that so many of the trained fighters left the program because all of their recruits were extremists joining ISIS, amounting to an intel front program to pad the ranks of the notorious, feared already largest terrorist organization in the world. General Austin’s so-called antiterrorist training program designated to combat ISIS terrorism in Syria proved an abysmal failure on purpose since it was never really intended to oppose US created terrorism. But the bottom-line reality is that this staggering $500 million US taxpaid expense during its first 12 months in operation was successful if all along it was simply a front to increase the IS terrorist network throughout the Middle East, which it certainly did. Either way, General Austin’s leadership ineptly produced either a failed boondoggle of a program or by covert deception, it effectively trained yet more enemy terrorists, not antiterrorists, in which case that makes General Austin a full-fledged US traitor. When we already know the US government created and maintained al Qaeda/ISIS as its proxy “war on terror” ally, it would serve no purpose to expend so much wasted money and trouble creating a military force to fight against an ally.

In this shady criminal cabal of a world, when you do what you’re told as a low-level 4-star puppet, you get duly rewarded, and no doubt this gave Austin enough brownie points for his selection 5 years later for bigger and better demonic opportunities as US Defense Department’s gatekeeper, carrying out his bloodline masters’ orders to this very day, by Satanic design of course, leading us Americans to doom.

In both 2014 and 2015, recall the well-publicized, surging offensive that the iconic ISIS caravan forces defiantly crossing the desert from Syria to invade Iraq, equipped with all the latest US weapons and freshly shipped US vehicles, within a flash taking control over Iraq’s second largest city of Mosul and a large portion of Iraq. War commander Austin and his boss had no defense or legitimate strategy to be able to slow down or stop the terrorist rampage, land grabbing an enormous, expanding swath of territory across both very active warzones.

Senior CENTCOM officials allegedly were caught altering their intelligence reports to purposely downplay the ISIS threat. But then all the top brass in every US war defeat, always lie through their teeth to Congress, that’s their job, in order to keep bankers’ wars going on forever, repeatedly reassuring Congress the mighty US side is winning, always slinging outright bullshit, bluffing their way through another called on the carpet session. From a December 8, 2020 Newsweek article:

The Atlantic wrote in 2016 that Austin told the White House that ISIS was ‘a flash in the pan,’ prompting Obama to tell The New Yorker that the group—which came to control a swathe of territory in Iraq and Syria and has launched multiple terrorist attacks in the West—was terrorism’s ‘jayvee team.’

Again, all very much scripted programming reruns ad nauseam. Either General Austin is totally incompetent for not having a viable strategy to deal with the Islamic State as a major Middle East threat, or more likely all the desert rat theatrics as well as halls of government lies were staged theater brought to you by the Anglo-American-Zio Empire working in concert with their proxy terrorist allies. Obviously, the latter is the case as USA created ISIS as its designated latest enemy/ally in its lingering, protracted war on terror for the last decade and a half.

But when Lloyd Austin was called in the day before on September 16^th, 2015 to testify before the Senate Armed Services Committee, playing his part like the dumbstruck doe in the headlight, uncomfortably squirming, twitching, and baffled by the confrontive grand stage drama unfolding, presided over by yet another familiar treasonous hack of a VIP player, Armed Services chairman and former presidential losing candidate Sen. John McCain, who on more than one occasion was caught fraternizing and strategizing, yukking it up all smiles for the camera amongst his Islamic State terrorist friends. Austin convincingly stammered and looked stupid for his assigned role in this episode of chessboard melodrama theatrics. General Austin had clearly rehearsed his scripted opening line:

Ladies and gentlemen, with respect to the ongoing operations in Iraq and Syria, despite some slow movement at the tactical level, we continue to make progress across the battlespace.

How absurdly self-contradictory this well-rehearsed, pathetic excuse of a general sounded while simultaneously losing three more Middle East wars. Cross-examining him was the Annapolis grad, former compromised Vietnam War POW and son of a bigshot admiral John McCain, who had rehearsed his opening response as well:

I must say I’ve been a member of the committee for nearly 30 years, and I’ve never heard testimony like this. Never. Basically, general, what you’re telling us is that everything’s fine as we see hundreds of thousands of refugees leave and flood Europe, as we’re seeing now 250,000 Syrians slaughtered, as you see more and more Iranian control of the Shia militia, I have never seen a hearing that is as divorced from the reality of every outside expert.

Obama’s then Secretary of Defense, the late Ashton B. Carter, wrote in his 2019 memoir about the Austin’s wish list fantasy to take back the growing occupied IS terrorist territory:

I admired Austin’s desire to take the fight to the enemy, but the plan he presented to me was entirely unrealistic, relying on Iraqi army formations that barely existed on paper, let alone in reality. To make matters worse, a CENTCOM official had already told Pentagon reporters in Washington that we planned to launch operations to retake Mosul by March or April [2015], adding an imaginary timetable to the imaginary forces that would carry it out.

Fast forward to Lloyd Austin’s two plus year tenure heading the US Defense Department, in charge of all of America’s fighting forces worldwide, stationed at 800 US military posts around the world and overseeing the several hundred exposed US DoD-funded bioweapon labs, definitely requires a diabolical gatekeeper playing his crucial role provoking nuclear Armageddon in places like Ukraine and Taiwan and more bioweapon pandemics to come in the cabal’s ongoing proven genocide against the entire human race.

This brings us to Lloyd Austin’s criminal guilt as the leader of US Armed Forces. His forced mandated vaccines requiring every US soldier to be jabbed with an experimental, untested deadly Pfizer mRNA DNA-altering known killer, causing so much confirmed sudden deaths and permanent injury to millions of young healthy soldiers, athletes, kids, rendering this retired general among the worst mass murdering traitors in all of the United States history. By the time he ordered mandated vaccines in August 2021, Lloyd Austin had full access to the alarming data already generated from skyrocketing increases in multiple life-threatening medical conditions and deaths. The kill shots were delivering untold damage and suffering to soldiers coerced to taking the non-vaccines in clear violation of the Nuremberg Code, against their will forcing tens of thousands of military warriors to either submit and suffer the permanent consequences, or refuse to submit to the dangerous bioweapon both created and funded by Austin’s Defense Department, and forced to resign even after filing religious exemptions, having to wrongly abort their military careers, rendering US national defense far, far weaker and even defenseless as a colossal national security threat to all US adversaries. Austin’s criminal actions are deplorable.

Yet another disgrace for America attributed directly to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was his egregious debacle on world display responsible for the disastrous US military evacuation and withdrawal of our armed forces after losing America’s longest running war of two decades in US ravaged Afghanistan, inexcusably leaving the US victorious enemy, the Taliban, the parting gift of $82,9 billion in good-to-go US war making weapons, abandoning and leaving many Americans behind while the tragedy at the Kabul airport, resulting in 13 US service members’ and 170 others’ lives lost.

On Wednesday March 8^th, Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) begins leading his congressional investigation attempting to uncover what led to this “stunning failure” of leadership and horrifically humiliating, shameful fiasco to hold those like Lloyd Austin responsible. As the head of the US armed forces, he has a duplicitous litany of high crimes to answer for. It wasn’t just incompetence, this debacle was planned and staged before the world in order to send a clear message to US enemies that America is a weak paper tiger and consistent loser of all its wars for numerous decades now.

The bottom-line, the bloodline puppet masters ordered this thoroughly botched withdrawal to purposely set the stage for increasing world tensions and conflicts that include the current disaster in Ukraine and upcoming showdown with China over Taiwan. Austin is simply the long-compromised puppet gatekeeper following strict orders to rapidly destroy America, just like his braindead boss Joe Biden. The sugar-coated, boldface lie imposter-in-thief Biden wrote as a supposed op-ed piece for the December 2020 Atlantic explaining why he chose Lloyd Austin to take charge of America’s defense, is nauseously inaccurate and like everything in their inversely deceptive, dark world, just the opposite from reality.

The irony of dark ironies is that Biden says he first met General Austin in 2010 in Iraq when both were tasked with making a smooth US withdrawal from the Iraq War, cementing the basis of their trusted friendship. If Biden and Austin both worked so swimmingly well together leaving Iraq, after gaining that experience already under their belt, how could it go so wrong in Afghanistan? The obvious reason is it was intentionally scripted that way by the puppet masters. Not much more than a year and a half after Braindead wrote this fake fluff piece of pure lies, Biden and his chosen Defense Secretary in charge of America’s next war loss withdrawal in Afghanistan bungled it so badly to go down in all of America’s history as the United States’ most degrading spectacle and despicable abomination ever committed against our once great nation. More than anyone else, we can thank these two demon clowns, designed to make our world now far more dangerous as a result.

Another tragic affliction Lloyd Austin has menacingly imposed on America is his demonstrated rigid allegiance and strict adherence to yet another social engineered Trojan horse under the phony banner of “diversity and inclusion,” deployed to further weaken America’s self-defense forces. Lloyd Austin’s policy of pure unadulterated wokism within our armed forces again shows a complete absence of leadership, deliberately intended to weaken and emasculate our male soldiers. Rather than build up the US military’s capacity for self-defense, increasing the necessary combat skill set for our troops, their enhanced level of training to strengthen our capacity for self-defense, Austin has done exactly the opposite, only enforcing and promoting at all cost today’s sickening wokism at its worst. Rather than maintaining top priority to ensure that America’s defense forces are strong and second to none in the world, Austin made Critical Race Theory his mandatory training and male soldiers authorized to wearing skirts in the mess hall his enforced woke priority policy embracing the LGBTQ+ movement in all our armed forces severely undermining both our national defense capability as well as our across-the-boards troop morale. Lloyd Austin isn’t that stupid and knows what he’s doing, which is precisely why he’s a diabolical disgrace and US traitor.

Finally, Austin’s unwavering public support for Ukraine and the feel-good lies of a Kiev fantasy victory that he knows from the February 2022 get-go is impossible to achieve against perhaps the strongest military force in the world – Russia. Yet in obedience to his puppet masters, he faithfully holds the mantra line that the “US will stick with Ukraine for as long as it takes.” In late April last year, Austin let it be known that the objective in Ukraine is to “weaken Russia.” The US longtime aggressive policy to encircle Russia by recruiting NATO members as hostile neighbors on Russia’s border with US made missiles pointed at Moscow, illegally overthrowing the Ukraine government in 2014, installing a neo-Nazi puppet regime, intentionally deceiving Russia with the signed Minsk Agreements in 2014 and 2015, pledging not to engage in military offensives into the eastern Donbass breakaway region, yet relentlessly violated them to willfully kill 14,000 in the Donbass prior to Putin’s incursion. Then for years secretly training more than a hundred thousand Ukrainian troops to invade the now annexed Donbass region, all the while maintaining dozens of bioweapon labs in Ukraine, unwilling to abide by international law respecting Russia’s sovereign right to national security, while US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin actively plays the key role throughout this egregious process, bent on triggering a US/NATO war against nuclear-powered Russia in Ukraine. Again, in his words to “weaken Russia” in Washington’s relentless fixation for Moscow regime change.

I used to think that Lloyd Austin was merely the prototypical example of the Peter Principle in operation, rising to his level of mediocrity and incompetence as another bureaucratic politician-general, another useless idiot within the international criminal cabal. But I’ve come to realize that it’s much more sinister than that. Austin is a tool for the Dark Side extermination of the human race.
