The mask slipped again for the Democratic Party — and this time, a former CIA operations officer is blowing the whistle on what he says is nothing short of a coordinated propaganda push aimed at provoking insubordination inside the U.S. military.
Appearing Friday, November 21, on Fox News Channel’s “Jesse Watters Primetime,” former CIA officer Bryan Dean Wright broke down the now-infamous “Don’t Give Up the Ship” video — the one in which six Democrat lawmakers, all boasting military or intel backgrounds, urged service members to refuse “unlawful” orders under President Trump. Their message? The real threat isn’t China, Russia, or al-Qaeda. It’s the Commander-in-Chief.
The video featured Sen. Elissa Slotkin, Sen. Mark Kelly, Rep. Chris Deluzio, Rep. Maggie Goodlander, Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, and Rep. Jason Crow — all reading from the same script, all nodding gravely as they implied President Trump is an internal danger to the military.
Jesse Watters bluntly asked the question millions of Americans are thinking: “Is this seditious?”
Wright didn’t hesitate. “It is,” he said. And then he explained why.
Wright, who spent his CIA career conducting operations abroad, pointed straight at Slotkin — a former CIA analyst — as the ring leader. He explained that while his role at the agency was to run missions and gather intelligence, Slotkin’s was to analyze propaganda operations — to determine if they worked and how to make them effective.
“She’s seen her fair share of propaganda operations,” Wright said. “She knows how to pull those off and make them effective.”
And that’s exactly what he says she did.
Wright described the video as a textbook psychological operation. Step one: establish “credibility.” So each Democrat opens by reminding viewers of their military or intelligence service. Step two: manufacture a crisis. Not a foreign one — but an internal one. According to Wright, the video’s next move is classic: frame Trump, not America’s foreign enemies, as the national threat.
Then comes the third phase: provide the “solution.” And in this case, it’s chilling — a call for members of the FBI, CIA, and military to “rise up,” to refuse Trump’s orders, to become the self-appointed arbiters of legality instead of following the chain of command.
Wright explained the tactic Democrats used to cover themselves: adding a “fig leaf” qualifier to make the sedition more palatable. They encourage resistance to “unlawful orders,” giving viewers a loophole — as if military personnel can individually decide what is lawful and what isn’t.
“It’s the wink and nod,” Wright said. “And then they end it by repeating the call to rise up. It’s not optional — it’s an obligation.”
Wright’s conclusion was stunning: Slotkin knew exactly what she was doing. “She and I both worked the agency,” he said. “We both know propaganda ops. And that’s exactly what her video was.”
Meanwhile, Democrats continue pretending this is business as usual — not a coordinated attempt to undermine the Commander-in-Chief while America’s enemies watch gleefully from afar.
If Republicans put out a video like this during a Democrat presidency, the media would be screaming “coup.” But when Democrats do it?
The silence is deafening.
