IS DONALD TRUMP losing it? I am not merely referring to the US presidential elections campaign, though he has now fallen behind his Democrat rival, Kamala Harris, in both nationwide polls and in three of the seven key “swing states” where he once held the lead. Questions have now arisen about the state of Mr Trump’s mental health.

It has been clear for some time that Mr Trump was wrong-footed by President Joe Biden’s decision to stand down as the Democrat candidate (News, 26 July). He has struggled to let go of a campaign strategy predicated on attacking the sitting President’s mental acuity. Ms Harris has hit the ground running with a vigorous campaign of joy and hope, which contrasts vividly with the Trump/Vance strategy of fear and rage.

After a week of sulking in his Mar-a-Lago tent, Mr Trump returned to the fight with what was advertised as a “no-holds-barred” press conference in the ballroom of his Florida home. It offered no new policies and no new lines of attack on his Democrat opponents — only a rambling reprise of all his old themes, including “at least 162 misstatements, exaggerations and outright lies”, according to US fact-checkers. Even the staunchly RepublicanWall Street Journal declared “about one-third of Mr Trump’s remarks fell into three categories: false, obtuse or lunatic”. Its headline proclaimed: “Trump is looking like a loser again”.

What is most striking about Donald Trump in recent days is how increasingly bizarre his meanderings have become. He accuses Ms Harris of “turning black” after years of saying that she was Indian. Migrants from Mexico are coming from prisons and insane asylums. People are dying because they can’t afford bacon. Whales are beingkilled by windmills. Trump lies that he won all 50 states in 2020. He claims that he defeated Barack Obama (who wasn’t running) in 2016. He suggests that the nation’s top general deserves to be executed. And this is not to mention his repeated campaign riffs about Hannibal Lecter. Small wonder that the Democrats have started calling him “weird”.

What all this shows is that Mr Trump feels that this election slipping away from him, former Trump aides say. These are not winning campaign messages. He should be talking about immigration and the economy. Instead, he is spiralling down into conspiracy theories, such as claiming that the crowds at Kamala Harris’s rallies have been photoshopped on, using AI — claims that can be easily disproved.

Mr Trump’s former National Security Adviser, John Bolton, goes further, saying that his former boss doesn’t lie. That would suggest conscious intent. Rather, he “can’t tell the difference between what’s true and what’s false. . . The truth is whatever he wants it to be.”

Some opponents have suggested that Mr Trump is showing growing signs of dementia. But it could be more sinister.

Mr Trump’s allies have spent the past few years quietly building a network of activists to challenge the result if he loses again. As many as 70 pro-Trump conspiracy theorists are now election officials in key battleground counties, including Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Nevada. No wonder President Biden saysthat he is not confident of the peaceful transfer of power if Mr Trump loses again.

Whatever the cause of Mr Trump’s departures from reality, we should all be worried.

Trump touted the endorsement of an unhinged QAnon conspiracy theorist and birther

Written by Eric Hananoki

Published 10/06/20 mma

President Donald Trump and his campaign have touted the endorsement of right-wing commentator Paul E. Vallely, a retired U.S. Army major general and QAnon conspiracy theorist. Vallely, who is also a birther, has claimed that “Q” is a “cadre of retired military intelligence officers" and praised “Q” for purportedly passing along ”real” and “fact-based intelligence."

On October 1, Trump tweeted out a list of “former Republican national security and senior officials” who are supporting Trump. Among the endorsees was Vallely. On September 14, the Trump campaign touted Vallely’s endorsement in a list of “235 senior military leaders” who are backing the president.

Paul Vallely is a unhinged right-wing conspiracy theorist who once worked for Fox News. He has falsely claimed that former President Barack Obama’s “actual birth certificate has never been found”; called for a citizen’s arrest of Obama; and volunteered to lead a revolution against the former president with 250,000 Marines. In addition to all of that, Vallely is a QAnon conspiracy theorist.

QAnon is a violence-linked conspiracy theory based on cryptic posts to online message boards from an anonymous user known as “Q" that have spread rampantly on social media and among fringe right-wing media. QAnon conspiracy theorists essentially believe that Trump is secretly working to take down the purported “deep state,” a supposed cabal of satanic high-ranking officials who they claim are operating pedophile rings. The FBI has labeled the conspiracy theory a potential domestic terror threat. (Media Matters has documented how Trump, his campaign, and the Republican Party have built up the QAnon conspiracy theory.)

Vallely has claimed that “Q” is a legitimate source that releases “real intelligence, fact-based intelligence” to the public.

He appeared on the program Americanuck Radio on October 14 and October 30 of 2019 and backed QAnon. His comments on that program have been promoted online as supposed confirmation of the legitimacy of Q.

In the first appearance, Vallely claimed that Q is “tied to information” from “a group of military intelligence specialists of over 800 people that advise the president.”

During his second appearance, Vallely claimed that QAnon “is a white hat” operation, an apparent reference to researchers or hackers that essentially use their skills for good. He added: “It is a white information system that gathers information, intelligence, and puts it out through a distribution that's called QAnon. And as we can see, most of the reports that come in from Q are very valid. The only thing they've been off on a little bit is when Attorney General [William] Barr is going to come out with indictments and the word was put out for the Red October to be October 18. Well, that's since been delayed. So we're all standing by for these [inaudible] from the attorney general of the United States regarding the Russian collusion and the silent coup against President Trump.”

In a November 19, 2019, appearance on Steel Truth with QAnon supporter Ann Vandersteel, Vallely that Q is “a cadre of retired military intelligence officers” and “they gather real intelligence, fact-based intelligence then that they can pass on”:

PAUL E. VALLELY: Well, I probably don't know that much more than you do other than I've been on the receiving end of the distribution of Q reports that come out. And like you, I understand it's a -- it's a cadre of retired military intelligence officers that closely watch what's going on in our government and basically in the intelligence business, which I was in for years. They gather real intelligence, fact-based intelligence then that they can pass on and they do this discreetly now through the internet and through an email distribution postings. So we'll see. They've been forecasting what's going to happen with Attorney General Barr’s release, his imminent release, hopefully what's going to be within the next week and before Thanksgiving, on the sealed indictments that they have against these people who have betrayed the country like [James] Clapper, [James] Comey, [John] Brennan, and the rest of them all going back to [Hillary] Clinton and even into the White House to Obama. So they’re tracking that. So that's about all I can tell you about Q.

Paul E. Vallely - Wikipedia

paul E. Vallely (born November 29, 1939) is a retired United States Army major general and former senior military analyst for Fox News.

Vallely served in the Vietnam War and retired in 1991 as deputy commanding general, United States Army Pacific. In 2004, together with retired Air Force lieutenant general Thomas McInerney, he co-authored the book Endgame: The Blueprint for Victory in the War on Terror. He has served as military committee chairman for the Center for Security Policy, and runs the organization Stand Up America US.

Personal life

Vallely was born in DuBois, Pennsylvania, on November 29, 1939. He is married to former Marian Hatch.^[1] He moved with his wife from Washington, D.C. to Bigfork, Montana in 2003.^[2] Their son, Private First Class Scott Paul Vallely, died on April 20, 2004, while in his fourth week of Special Forces Qualification Course Special Forces training.^[3][4]

Military service

Vallely graduated from West Point and was commissioned into the U.S. Army in 1961. He graduated from Infantry School, Ranger and Airborne Schools, Jumpmaster School, the Command and General Staff School, The Industrial College of the Armed Forces and the Army War College. His combat service in Vietnam included positions as infantry company commander, intelligence officer, operations officer, military adviser and aide-de-camp.^[1]

He was later the commander of the 7th Psychological Operations Group around 1980,^[5] and of the 351st Civil Affairs Command from 1982 to 1986, which included all Special Forces, Psychological Warfare and Civil Military units in the Western United States and Hawaii.^[1] He retired in 1991^[2] from his position in Hawaii as deputy commanding general, United States Army Pacific,^[1] at the rank of major general.^[6]

Activities and views

Vallely made his first appearance on Fox News on the day after the September 11 attacks in 2001, and gained national prominence as Fox News' senior military analyst during the 2003 invasion of Iraq.^[2] He worked as a Fox News analyst until 2007.^[7]

Stand Up America US

In 2005 Vallely founded a conservative political organization called Stand Up America US that promotes "First amendment rights, Second amendment rights, strong national defense, and secure borders, national sovereignty, support of the armed forces, individual liberties and personal responsibility, fiscally responsible, limited government."^[8] According to co-founder and retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney, its stated purpose is to "protect America and let people understand the danger of radical Islam and the seriousness of global jihad."^[6]

As part of the organization, Vallely has also founded the Legacy National Security Advisory Group, a defense consulting group that advised 2016 Republican presidential candidates on foreign policy. Vallely has traveled to countries such as Egypt and Syria in the Middle East, and collects information from a network of experts and informants around the world. Other members of the group include retired Navy Adm. James Lyons and Marine Corps Lt. Col. Oliver North.^[9][10]

In 2016, the organization published "A Counterjihad Security Architecture for America", a document edited by Clare Lopez, with Vallely stating that "Counterjihad security architecture and strategies are more necessary now than ever before".^[11]

Other organizations

Vallely has served as the military committee chairman for the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Security Policy.^[12][13]

He has also lent his support to an organization called Veteran Defenders of America. In his letter of support he stated that "perhaps the greatest threat to our safety and liberty is the threat of radical Islam. This threat goes well beyond the threat of terrorism. Islamists, both inside and outside of America, are looking for any and every way to infiltrate and subvert our country through what is known as 'stealth jihad.' He encourages U.S. civilians (veterans) to be "eyes and ears of freedom, because we know freedom isn't free."^[14]

Vallely is also a supporter of the Jerusalem Summit and an advocate of the organization's proposal to "transfer" Palestinians to surrounding Arab countries as a solution to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.^[6]

He has spoken to a local chapter of ACT for America on the European refugee crisis.^[15]

Support of birther claims

In 2010 Vallely was one of three retired general officers who expressed support for U.S. Army Lt. Col. Terrance Lee Lakin in his refusal to deploy to Afghanistan based on Lakin's claim that President Barack Obama had no legitimacy as commander in chief. In an interview, Vallely stated, "I think many in the military—and many out of the military—question the natural-birth status of Barack Obama."^[16] Following Vallely's announcement, retired Army Maj. Gen. Jerry Curry and Air Force Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney also expressed public support for Lakin.^[16][17]

Vallely has also said that he "firmly believes Obama 'is a Muslim in nature'," and that "a 'civil uprising' was not 'out of the question' to stop Obama who was facilitating the rise of 'radical Islam, the caliphate, and Jihad – the slow infiltration and dismantling of our American institutions' either 'willfully, or due to sheer naiveté'."^[18] Vallely has later alleged that both versions of Obama's released birth certificate were forgeries, covered up by the FBI and Congress.^[19]

In 2013, Vallely said to a Tea Party group that while he did not want to see a revolution take place, if a revolution did happen then he would be happy to lead it.^[20] He said he would agree to lead a coup against Obama if given the troops, stating that he would lead "250,000 Marines to go to Washington" and "I’ll surround the White House and I’ll surround the Capitol building".^[13]

QAnon

Vallely is a supporter of QAnon, which he has described as a "white hat" operation, and a "cadre of retired military intelligence officers" that is tied to information from "a group of military intelligence specialists of over 800 people that advise the president". He has praised Q as a "legitimate source that releases 'real intelligence, fact-based intelligence' to the public."^[21] In 2020 he was also one of 235 senior military leaders backing Donald Trump for re-election.^[21]

Works

From PSYOP to MindWar

In 1980, Vallely co-authored a paper with then military PSYOP analyst Michael Aquino, founder of the Satanist Temple of Set as his commanding officer in the 7th PSYOP Group, titled From PSYOP to MindWar: The Psychology of Victory. MindWar is defined as "the deliberate aggressive convincing of all participants in a war that we will win that war." The paper contrasts a use of psychological operations such as propaganda with a new approach. In a new 2003 introduction of the paper, Aquino notes how it became a widespread subject of conspiracy theories.^[5]

The article said Vallely and Gordon Cucullu were co-writing a book titled: "The Myths of Gitmo: Torture, Abuse or the Truth". I made this change because the book has been published, and Cucullu had already published a book on Guantanamo, where he is listed as the sole author. That book is Inside Gitmo: The True Story Behind the Myths of Guantánamo Bay.

After making the change I found Vallely and Cucullu did publish a book together, about Guantanamo, entitled: Behind Gitmo Wire: How Our Men and Women in Uniform Defend America at Guantanamo Bay

Regarding Cucullu, he has done a considerable amount of work on Google's Gnol, on Guantanamo. I am not exactly sure on the details on how Gnol works, but it seems that, as some kind of recognized expert, he has been allowed to stake out the Guantanamo territory -- similar to how prospectors used to stake out mines during gold-rushes. I was frankly shocked at partisan and biased his writing was. I do not believe it would have ever survived a review here due to what seemed to me to be a lack of commitment to the principle of neutral writing.
