Why the Media Is Making a Big Deal Out of the Missing Defense Secretary

January 12, 2024 By The Editors

President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden, joined by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, deliver remarks at a BBQ for active-duty military and their families, Tuesday, July 4, 2023, on the South Lawn of the White House. (Official White House Photo by Carlos M. Vazquez II)

On his Substack, Jon Rappoport deftly explains why the media is making such a big deal about the recent disappearance of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. If they did not, suggests Rappoport, the American people might realize just how little the “functionaries” like Austin do in D.C. He writes:

Washington big shots have to make a big deal about other big shots missing in action.

Otherwise, the public would realize most of these functionaries could die in a hotel room and decay there for a month and no official policy would change or be affected in the slightest.

“It now appears FBI Director Smith has been partying non-stop in Monaco for the past year. His assistants and deputies noted they were unaware he was gone…”

Zero Hedge: “Earlier throughout the day there were significant rumors that Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin has been in the hospital for days, and no one knew it… surprisingly even at the White House, apparently — and at a moment when the US is embroiled in running conflicts and proxy wars from Ukraine to the Middle East.”

“This is a worrisome development which has huge implications for the Biden administration and White House competency and issues of transparency. Not only has Austin’s hospitalization now been confirmed, but CNN is reporting late Saturday that President Biden was in the dark almost the whole time.”

CNN: “President Joe Biden was not aware for days that Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin was hospitalized, a source familiar with the matter told CNN.”

Speaking of Joe Biden, Rappoport concludes:

BIDEN has been under emergency care for at least the past four years. EVERY DAY.

And we don’t know a thing about the substance of that care.

In fact, we could go back to 1988 when the trouble started. Brain aneurysm. Surgery to save Biden’s life.

As President of the United States, exactly what drugs has Biden been receiving? Psychiatric mood altering meds? Highly dangerous SSRI antidepressants? They push some people over the edge into suicide and homicide. Speed to keep him upright and functioning?
