Over 700 “high-ranking national security officials” have thrown their support behind Democrat candidate Kamala Harris for president, claiming the choice between her and former President Donald Trump is a “choice between democracy and authoritarianism.”
741 former high-ranking national security officials, including 233 general and flag officers, 148 ambassadors, as well as dozens of CIA, NSA, and Pentagon officials, announced their endorsement in a statement Sunday.
“We do not agree on everything, but we all adhere to two fundamental principles. First, we believe America’s national security requires a serious and capable Commander-in-Chief. Second, we believe American democracy is invaluable. Each generation has a responsibility to defend it. That is why we, the undersigned, proudly endorse Kamala Harris to be the next President of the United States,” wrote National Security Leaders for America president U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Michael Smith (Ret.).
“This election is a choice between serious leadership and vengeful impulsiveness. It is a choice between democracy and authoritarianism. Vice President Harris defends America’s democratic ideals, while former President Donald Trump endangers them.”
The statement went on to laud Kamala for her supposed foreign policy expertise, claiming she has been an “effective leader” on the geopolitical stage.
“Vice President Harris has proven she is an effective leader able to advance American national security interests. Her relentless diplomacy with allies around the globe preserved a united front in support of Ukraine’s fight against Russian aggression. She grasps the reality of American military deterrence, promising to preserve the American military’s status as the most ‘lethal’ force in the world,” Smith wrote.
The Deep State letter also excoriated Trump for challenging the results of the 2020 election and for the events of January 6.
“Further, Mr. Trump denigrates our great country and does not believe in the American ideal that our leaders should reflect the will of the people. While Vice President Harris follows the democratic norms we expect of any political leader—including promising to abide by the outcome of the pending election and respecting the rule of law—Mr. Trump is the first president in American history to actively undermine the peaceful transfer of power, the bedrock of American democracy,” the letter stated.
“He has shown no remorse for trying to overturn the 2020 election on January 6th, promises to pardon the convicted perpetrators, and has made clear he will not respect the results of the 2024 election should he lose again,” Smith added.
Journalist Glenn Greenwald, who’s covered the Deep State’s underhanded activities for years, noted the irony of the intelligence community citing “democracy” as their reason for supporting Harris when that same community actively undermined democracy on numerous occasions, such as advancing the phony “Russian collusion” narrative in 2016 to help Hillary Clinton or covering up the Hunter Biden laptop story in 2020 to help Joe Biden.
“More than three dozen leaders of CIA, along with NSA and Pentagon officials, unite to endorse Kamala — just as they united to support Hillary and spread the 2020 lie that the Hunter Biden laptop was ‘Russian disinformation,’” Greenwald noted. “If I were Dick Cheney, I’d also endorse Kamala.”

The Deep State endorsement comes on the heels of former Vice President Dick Cheney endorsing Harris, along with 200 other neocons who were instrumental in advancing the Military-Industrial Complex’s longstanding policy of endless war across the Middle East.
Meanwhile, a 58-year-old Democrat mercenary with links to U.S. intelligence just tried to assassinate Trump last week.
