Michael Scheuer | Non-Intervention

This entry marks the first time I have published in this space the notes [with typos corrected] I prepared to accompany an episode of the Two Mikes’ podcast. I am doing so because I can think of nothing better to make the point that the American government’s relationship with Israel is an ongoing and accelerating disaster for the republic, its future, and its citizens, The news this morning proves this point yet again as President Trump urges actions against the 1st Amendment to quiet people rhetorically opposing Israel’s savage and U.S. funded-and equipped war against Palestinian civilians, and then thunders “warnings” to the Palestinians that he will help Netanyahu and his colleagues wipe every last Palestinian from the face of the earth. (NB: Here I am talking about speech, an peaceful marching, not such clear and punishable illegalities as occupying buildings, blocking roads, or destroying property). On this position, Trump is supported by all members of the Congress and Senate, the bulk of the federal bureaucracy, most senior U.S. intelligence officials, flag officers, most sate governors, all the mainstream media, and far to many of the of the major alternative media programs.

Why? Well the answer is simple, they long have been the creatures of Israel and its Jewish and non-Jewish American supporters. The basic and irrefutable fact is that the United States government, and two-thirds of the state governments, have been suborned and so compromised by foreign forces — Israel itself, Israeli-related politicians and billionaires, and their media, business, and academic sycophants in the United States. The annihilation of  Palestine and Palestinians also been steadily supported by shocking numbers of Evangelical Christians, whom, it seems, puts Israel first, and leaves God and his commandments to take the hindmost.

Trump keeps pledging the annihilation Palestine and its people –via-Israel-and-U.S. weaponry — in a war which always has been irrelevant to U.S. national security, one that should be ignored by Washington, and left to sort itself out. Please read the following and listen to the 1967 experience of a U.S. sailor and the 299 other members of the USS Liberty’s crew as they were butchered by the Israeli navy and air forces, while Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara and President Lyndon Johnson ordered the nearby U.S. aircraft carriers not to send air support to the USS Liberty, thereby leaving her to her fate.

Its worth noting that every president, every Congressman, event Senator, every Secretary of Defense, every State Governor, every CIA and NSA Director, every secretary of the Navy, and every other flag officer from the presidencies of Johnson-through-Trump have — for 58 years — refused to reveal the truth about Israel’s deliberate massacre of the USS Liberty, instead claiming the attack was a “mistake”. The answer to this foul cover-up is to press Trump’s administration to release all papers related to the deliberate Israeli attack on the USS Liberty, as well as the papers that are still suppressed in the U.S. Archives dealing with the 9-11 attack and Franklin Roosevelt’s role in baiting Japan to stage an attack on U.S. military bases in the Pacific as the means not only ensure war with Japan, but as an event would help him get the United States into the European war, an action which most Americans still opposed on 7 December 1941. Pearl Harbor and Hitler’s declaration of war on the United States, gave FDR his chance to create a base which thereafter stupidly tied America to Europe until this day, although the steady crumbling of NATO , the UN, and the EU gives all Americans hope that they will soon have a much more non-interventionist foreign policy.

————————————————————————-

Today  (4 March 2025), on The Two Mikes, Colonel Mike, Dr. Mike, and Jack Maxey had the great honor of speaking to one of the survivors — Mr. Phil Tourney — of the pre-planned and extraordinarily vicious Israeli air force and naval attack on the U.S. Navy’s communications ship, the USS Liberty in June, 1967. The ship carried a crew of 300 sailors, Marines, and NSA and CIA language experts. At the time of the Israeli attack, the USS Liberty was the world’s most modern communications ship. Following is Mr. Tourney’s story of the attack, much of which has been supported by communications reports declassified by the National Security Agency (NSA).

On the afternoon of 8 June 1967, the USS Liberty was sailing slowly about 12.5 miles off the Sinai Peninsula – clearly in international waters – when its lookouts and radars picked out the presence of Israeli scout planes repeatedly flying around the ship, giving the ship’s crew a clear view of the blue Israeli star on the wings and sides of the aircraft. Shortly after the scout planes departed, Blue-starred Israeli fighters appeared and began to attack the ship with machine guns, bombs, rockets, and napalm. The attack was highly destructive, and successfully destroyed every antenna on the ship, save for one. Such a success rate, of course, is more than ample evidence that the Israel’s slaughtering attack was well planned. The premeditated Israeli attack lasted nearly 30 minutes.

Shortly after those Israeli war planes departed, five Israeli motor-torpedo boats attacked the Liberty, hitting it with one Israeli torpedo that blew a forty-foot-by-forty-foot hole in the hull of the ship at the point where it shielded the communications quarters, immediately killing many sailors and language experts. The motor-torpedo boats also shot the ship’s deployed lifeboats out of the water, with the exception of one that they Israelis took home as trophy. Overall, the deliberate Israeli attacks on the ship killed 34 members of the Liberty’s crew, and wounded 174 more – all Americans — a total that was more than two-thirds of the ship’s crew.

We asked Mr. Tourney why other U.S. naval ships in the region did not come to the aid of the Liberty? He responded that the Liberty notified all U.S. Navy vessels in the vicinity were notified of the attack, and almost immediately the aircraft carrier USS Saratoga launched aircraft to try and save the Liberty. Before they could reach the Liberty, however, the Saratoga recalled the aircraft under the orders of U.S. Defense Secretary Robert McNamara . The order from him was “do not help Liberty, return to base”. Shortly thereafter, the commanders of the Saratoga and the nearby aircraft carrier America again sent fighters to assist the Liberty. The Commanders of both ships would not accept another order from McNamara, and said that another stand-down order “would have to come for higher authority”. Before the U.S. fighters could get to the Liberty, President Lyndon Johnson personally recalled the planes. The entire story of the deliberate failure to get help to the Liberty – especially the immediate availability of the Secretary of Defense and the President to intervene on Israel’s behalf – surely suggests that both men and their Washington-based admirals knew the Israeli attack on the Liberty was planned. Indeed, Mr. Tourney said that he has learned from others and from intelligence documents that U.S. Strategic Air Command bombers were in the air heading toward Cairo to attack in support of Israel’s then ongoing war with Egypt. That attack apparently was cancelled due to the deliberate Israeli attack on the USS Liberty.

The Liberty eventually received post-attack U.S. Naval assistance and was ordered to sail to the harbor in Crete, though getting there was a much longer voyage  than to the nearby port of Malta. While in Crete, the Liberty’s surviving crew members were exhaustively debriefed by an Admiral who was also a lawyer. During the sessions, the Admiral had been told by the survivors that they saw and experienced, namely a deliberate Israeli attack on the USS Liberty, and added that their experience foreclosed any claim that the Israeli attack could be seen as a mistake or accident. At that point the Admiral concluded the session and told the sailors that if anything they had told him was told to the media or otherwise made public, the sailor or sailors doing the telling would be “sent to prison or worse”.

It seems clear that the USS Liberty and its crew were set up for an attack via Israeli-U.S. cooperation on an operation that saw Israel’s air and naval forces do their best to sink the Liberty and kill all its crew. To this day, the U.S. government and military continue to claim that the Israeli attack was a “mistake”, these apparent liars have yet to tell the truth and to provide full honors to the Liberty and her crew for their heroic but unaided performance during the Israeli attack.

Currently there are less than 50 survivors of the Liberty’s, June, 1967 crew. On the weekend of 6-8 June 2025, many of them will gather in Norfolk, Virginia, at the Sheraton Inn, for their annual remembrance of the Israeli slaughter of their fellow crewman and to discuss the truth of an issue that the U.S. government wants to remain buried forever. With the assistance of VFW Post 4809 (Norfolk, VA), the attendees will honor their fallen colleagues and discuss many the facets of the attack. The public is welcome to attend, listen, ask questions, and learn. Perhaps President Trump, Secretary Hegseth, and the CIA and NSA directors might spare some time to hear the truth about the murderous, 8 June, 1967, behavior of the country they endlessly identify as “our best ally.’’

Given the relatively few remaining survivors of the Liberty’s crew, the survivors’ organization is always happy to receive donations from people interested in doing right by the ship and crew that were attacked by Israel, with what surely appears to be the approval of President Johnson. If you would like to make a donation to these American heroes, your gift can be sent to the group’s website, https://ussliberty.org/ or to the USS Liberty Veterans Association, Attn: Moe Shafer, PO Box 3000, Pawley’s Island, SC 29585

They say the more things change, the more they stay the same. This certainly is not true across Trump’s cabinet and government, but suddenly AG Bondi came forward with her best Merrick Garland – and perhaps Trumpian? — voice and decries the supposedly great increase in anti-Semitism in the United States and the need to take aggressive action to smash this terrible speech-scourge. The cost of eradicating what she considers a threat to the republic is, as it always is, to  ignore the Constitution and Bill of Rights and make them dead letters.

Now, if Ms. Bondi has any genuine experience in the real world of working Americans – that is non-bureaucrats – she knows that the speech of work-a-day Americans can be rough, derogatory, cuss-filled, and often peppered with the kind of words she and her kind regard as punishable violations of law due to their inability to cope with the hard fact that the 1^st Amendment – like the 2^nd, 4^th, and 10^th, at least – are absolutes. Each is clear to every American drawing breath, working for a living, and not on the lifelong dole. Most Americans need no modernized, airy-fairy misinterpretation of the Constitution and its first 10 amendments of the kind always on offer by politicians, lawyers, bureaucrats, professors, journalists, war-lovers, movie stars, retired flag officers, all individuals whom, in one way or another, have been or are now on the take from organizations bent on killing the Constitution by killing the 1^st Amendment and the 2^nd Amendment, the latter of course, is the only reliable defense of all of the liberties enshrined in the Bill of Rights and the Constitution.

But even the reputedly well-educated and conservative Ms. Bondi cannot let the constitutionally definitive original wording of the 1^st Amendment stand, she with the others who want to destroy the republic believe the fashionable horse-shit that claims the Constitution as a “living document” that can be grotesquely twisted in anyway necessary to make the already over-centralized federal government into an even bigger tyranny.

Ms. Bondi has now raised her favorite flag, the one carrying not the stars and stripes but rather the bywords of all American politicians in both parties, namely Israel First. Filled with worry and fret, but with eyes gleaming over the thought of the Jewish-American funds that will come her way as a consequence of declaring the annihilation of anti-Semitism to be a “major” issue for America and Americans, and because she will start and lead the republic’s battle against what her ridiculous words suggest is the terrible threat that anti-Semitism poses not only to Jews but also to the republic’s well-being and security.

Not so, the threat that angry, nasty, or cruel words about Jewish people or Israel pose is the threat that U.S. politicians who would have to live on their salaries, without the wages-of-treason that reliably flow so long as they are on the take from AIPAC, the ADL, and Jewish-American billionaires.

Blinded by such a clear, nearly mad delusion, how will Ms. Bondi proceed? No sweat on that score, she will simply use the framework built by the Biden Administration, the completely corrupted FBI – and let us hear no more lying drivel claiming it is only corrupt leaders on the “seventh floor” – and its allies and employees at the Anti-Defamation League, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and the gang of Jewish-American billionaires who rushed to kill the 1^st Amendment and the universities they once bragged about supporting by paying for “distinguished professors” to teach Marxism, Multiculturalism, Communism, anti-white racism, Socialism, gender madness, and, most of all, anti-Americanism. But when American students had the audacity to demonstrate against what appeared to all who were not wearing pirates’ patches over both eyes, or on the take from Jewish-American organizations, to be Israel’s deliberate massacre of Palestinian civilians in preparation for stealing what is left of their land, a new war was ignited against the 1st Amendment.

Ms. Bondi will use Biden’s kill-the-1^st-Amendment framework and direct the corrupt core of federal agencies — FBI, DHS, DOJ, ATF, IRS, – and their silent but key allies at CIA and NSA – to exploit the so-called “intelligence” the ADL and the SPLC  gathered – while on the payroll of the Biden’s government – to go after all Americans who oppose the Democrats; say a negative word about Israel or Jews; are devoted Catholics;  people who oppose abortion own weapons, or support Trump and conservatism; Blacks who opposed Biden’s authoritarianism and life on his plantations; all Americans who opposed open borders; the foes of indoctrinating their children on the glories of sexual depravity and DEI, and all Americans who ache for the trial and lethal punishment of Bill Gates, many state and federal politicians, Biden’s puppet masters, the bosses of Big Pharma, the AMA, and the senior federal health officials who lied to Trump about the pandemic; and all of the legacy media, including FOX,  for the deaths, crippling, and general economic destruction caused by the lethal vaccines that deliberately were used to murder so many tens of thousands of Americans. (NB: As an aside, I cannot understand why Trump has never had the courage to apologize to Americans, explain that he got slicked by Fauci, Birks, his own cabinet, and many other senior federal health bureaucrats, and that he now intends to make them pay for their mass-murdering crimes. Pride goeth …)

Yep, Ms. Bondi inherited all of this data from Biden’s fascists, and when using it in defense of the politicians’ dole from AIPAC, Israel, and wealthy Jewish-Americans and their organizations,  she, her lieutenants, and the media will never stop spewing about the “righteous cause of ending anti-Semitism” and the need to stop people from saying nasty words about Israel and Jews – even if it means neutering the Constitution – as well as Israel’s suborned, slave-like allies in Congress, the Senate, the military, the federal and state bureaucracies, the federal judiciary, the media, Hollywood, and an assortment of other compromised and perhaps traitorous U.S. organizations.

If Ms. Bondi’s intentions regarding anti-Semitism are evidence of what “Making America Great Again” is all about, it tends to suggests that American ‘greatness” only exists if it continues to do the bidding, funding, and arming of Israel, while controlling the speech of those obviously despicable and traitorous American citizens who believe that the U.S. relationship with Israel is built mainly on the wishes of Israel and its U.S-citizen coreligionists and their amazing, almost magical, ability to suborn as slaves to its interests so many American presidents, governors, senators, generals, journalists etc. etc.,

In sum, Ms. Bondi’s anti-Semitism campaign, if successful, means three things are certain: (a.) the crippling of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill or Rights; (b.) endless U.S. funded and probably fought wars for Israel in the Middle East; and (c) the sickening, but side-splittingly comical image of the North American continent being pulled along via a ring through its nose by an oversized Middle East sandbox run by arrogant and criminal politicians, Bolsheviks, Christian-haters, and the owners of the world’s largest begging bowl. This image, of course, will get the most laughter from Israeli Firsters in America and the war-lover Netanyahu and his pals in Israel. And, to be fair, who would not laugh over an image of the United States being led helplessly toward hell by a modern set of vicious and venomous Lilliputians.

—An afterthought: Just a reflection after yesterday’s fancy public release of nothing new about Epstein’s operation and its criminal legacy. Might Ms. Bondi’s fixation on supposedly rife U.S. anti-Semitism be based on the need for a diversion after she has found that the papers  Epstein and the JFK and RFK assassinations can never be released because of some – or perhaps more than some – involvement of our sainted Israeli ally in all three crimes. No surprise on the Epstein matter, as no American would be surprised if Mossad, Mi6, FBI, Shin Bet, and CIA were the key supporters of Epstein. But too few Americans, however, recall that the Kennedy brothers were both far from eager to see Israel obtain nuclear weapons. Is it time, Ms. Bondi, to edit out much of the truth in the papers whose release you control? Is that why you have said you intend to release “some” of the materials.  Or will you now mark time and allow some renegade employees to shred them and then set up the shredders for breaking the law? That would be a nice way to bury the issue by explaining the documents have been destroyed and blame the action on Biden and his loyal band of U.S. Intelligence Community gangsters, and those you and the FBI set up to take the fall. The whole business probably would give the Trump Administration a rough ride for a month or two, but the action would kill four birds with one stone  (a) Epstein and his crimes would gradually fade into a disgusting memory, (b) the participation of the U.S., British, and Israeli intelligence services would remain undocumented, (c) the Trump Administration and the bilateral political elite would keep getting their paychecks from Israel and its supporters; and (d) with Israel off the Epstein hook, Attorney General Bondi can fire-up her campaign to fulfill her Garland-like goal of destroying the 1st Amendment via waging a war against the non existent threat of anti-Semitism in the United States

As a whole, Trump’s government, in this short period, has been remarkable in its accomplishments, as well as in Trump’s ability to stay on course at home with the domestic aspects of an American First policy. The discoveries Elon Musk’s crew have made in USAID have been – to say the least – shocking. The organization’s laundering of many billions of dollars through its network of NGO beneficiaries and other organizations and governments and then back to the federal bureaucracy for distribution to Democrats of all kinds and senior federal bureaucrats, as well as some Republicans. Naturally, the Clinton family seems to have been a regular recipient of this graft in exceedingly large dollar amounts. There are also reports that Obama used USAID for laundering CIA money bound for overthrowing foreign governments, starting wars, and other nefarious activities. The laundered money also went to American Catholic charitable organizations which, in turn, responded by helping illegal aliens evade the law and enter the country, they also seem to have helped “disappear” the 350,000 children brought into the country by illegals that cannot be located. It’s also is precisely what this globalist, satanic, and intensely anti-American Pope and his money-hungry minions had coming to them. That’s some record of serving God, don’t you think? But just what you would expect from a South American communist. (NB: Some truth in advertising, I’m a life-long Roman Catholic)

 Trump also has lit another fire under the initiation and acceleration of his plan to get all the illegals out of America. This process will take time, but will be immediately helped by the surprisingly fast pace at which the border wall is being completed. As getting rid of illegal aliens continues, Trump – on the basis of Musk’s findings – already has eliminated several hundred thousand federal workers, although reporting suggests the process of removing these lazy tax-eaters has a long way to go.

The nagging question that remains regarding these domestic actions lies in the fact that while Trump’s people have uncovered enormous criminal waste and other forms of corruption – apparently running into the many billions of dollars — there has yet to be a single indictment. Without indictments, trials, and convictions, Musk and his staff have provided a much-needed, good, and informative show, but as of yet there is no guarantee that this government-wide, is to be terminated. Without a large number of these money-laundering operatives, elected grifters, and slavishly obedient bureaucratic place-holders being indicted and tried, the scum so far identified will fade into invisibility and then return when next the Democrats are in power. Oh, yes, also high on Trump’s agenda must be ending taxpayer funding for NGOs. The Congress, too, must be demanded to pass laws ending the delivery of taxpayer money to any religious group in America – Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim, or any other faith – not only because they have broken the law but, perhaps more important, to reestablish the separation of church and state. The Democrats, always two-faced bastards, have long used this feature of the Constitution to kill faith in America, but now we are finding out that they simply wanted to turn these avaricious NGOs for criminal and anti-faith uses by providing faith organizations with tax exemptions and favoring faith-based and fully-bribed NGO’s as tools for bringing the republic to its knees. The country’s pastors and leading church officials already have dug themselves into a deep hole by making churches unavailable to believers during the Covid dictatorship, Mr. Musk also should look for graft on that score, he will find it. Now we find these entities have long been digging away in their hole of iniquity in return for vast taxpayer-provided payoffs to aid illegal aliens and help the Democrats make 350,000 children disappear.

Trump’s supposed America First foreign policy, on the other hand, makes almost no sense, unless the name of his game is bluff. What can you possibly say about Trump’s understanding of non-intervention. Does non-interventionism include clearing Palestine of all Palestinians and making it into a new playground for his son-in law and the rich? The answer is none. Does it mean starting a war with Iran because Israel and their Congressional lackeys demand it. What possible U.S. national-security interest is at risk because of Palestinians living in Palestine? If the Israelis face such a risk, they constructed and nourished it over the past 80 years. What would happen if we engineered such a Palestinian removal, which it seems fair to say, sounds like a plan thought up by a former CIA officer, who also is said to have been a pal of John Bolton? This man also was an expert on and a fan/supporter of the United Nations, which may explain Trump’s absurdly enthusiastic and completely ahistorical support for the UN’s “great potential”. No world government organization has any potential but for war, graft, waste, and anti-Americanism. Americans knew that it 1918-1919 and some heroic and commonsense Republican senators kept us out of the League of Nations. They knew what “America First” meant and fought to the death against that bastard Woodrow Wilson to entrench it in the mind of America.

Anyway, if there is a better measure than the ludicrous Palestinian Plan to draw America into another land war in the Middle East, I cannot identify it. We have lost wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and will soon lose another pair in Syria and Jordan. How many dozens of these results can the republic stand? Clearly, we do not need such wars, but Israel does and therein lies the big question: Is Trump an American First president or is he most happy when he is shilling for the Israelis and selling them 2,000 pound bombs that Israeli government will use to kill Palestinian civilians and steal land in the name of Greater Israel. If Trump wanted an American First foreign policy in the Middle East, he would leave Israel free to do whatever it wants in its region, but then cut off all kinds of U.S. aid to that country, whether traditionally given above-board or surreptitiously. His next, and equally important action, is to send the new FBI Director and Attorney General on a mission to detect, remove, and arrest Israel’s operatives – Israeli, Jewish-American, and American — within the federal bureaucracy, the intelligence community, and the U.S. military. Then, afterwards, force AIPAC, the ADL, and the SPLC to register as agents of a foreign power, and then investigate them – and their pals at the FBI and DHS – for gathering data on Conservatives, Catholics, gun owners, Trump supporters, patriots, etc. for the purpose of eventually rounding them up and imprisoning them. Finally, and on his own part, Trump must also speak directly to Americans and guarantee them that, notwithstanding his ocean of Jewish-American campaign funding, his will fight and stop the plan to adopt as federal law a measure making anti-Semitic speech a criminal offense. That plan, of course, is mad, fascistic, and utterly unconstitutional, and it must be  forever eliminated from the domestic political agenda in one way or another.

Finally, while most Americans rejoice at the fact that Trump is building the border wall and giving the illegals the boot, his apparent intention to engage U.S. military land forces in a campaign inside Mexico to destroy the Mexican cartels comes with an attendant set of dangers. All Americans – especially families with relations in the U.S. military — should remember that the Mexican cartels are large, powerful, wealthy, well-armed, vicious, and are deeply rooted in Mexican and increasingly American society. They are likewise entrenched within the Mexican national and state governments, and the law-enforcement agencies of both. Also, worth recalling is that a good deal of Mexican territory resembles that of Afghanistan, giving its cartel defenders some of the same advantages enjoyed by the Taliban when they fought and defeated U.S. forces. Though America is cursed with a military that cannot win wars, much can be accomplished against the cartels with air-power, limited special forces raids, and a perhaps a blockade of several of Mexico’s Pacific ports, but the entry of large U.S. ground forces into Mexico might well create precisely the same kind of “cakewalk” as Americans saw in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Years ago, while working at CIA, I was surprised to find out the Agency and other intelligence agencies were sending officers deemed to hold promise for service in top Intelligence Community positions to elite U.S. universities for various periods of time. The Pentagon also was sending those headed for service as flag officers in the military services for such educational experiences.

Where are these men and women being sent for this experience? Well these candidates for top-level promotions are sent to Harvard, other Ivy League schools, and other highly related universities outside the northeast. Really, my reaction was less surprise, than it was anger that taxpayer money was being be used by the Intelligence Community and the Pentagon to send their best and brightest to the greatest and most poisonous hives of anti-Americanism, schools that proudly play a leading role in inculcating republic-killing ideas into those they teach, starting with multiculturalism — teaching the insanity that the more divided a nation is, the stronger it is – as well as other ridiculous ahistorical ideas, including anti-white racism, the Civil war was fought to free slaves and not to defeat the South’s legitimate war for independence, that American Indians were non-violent, peace lovers, that the world would be a better place if governments could sensor speech and publications, and that the lives of U.S. soldiers, Marines, flyers, and sailors should be joyously spent for the honor of making the world more like America, though it currently is the home of rampant political corruption, female authoritarianism, fascism, thirst for blood, fast-spreading sexual depravity, and more than 300,000 missing children due to Biden’s open borders.

What has been the influence of preparing our men and women bound for flag-officer rank at our leading universities? It is admittedly hard to tell. I am sure, however, that those destined for one or more stars could not find a way to flunk out of their elite-school assignment. Likewise, such schools are unlikely to be presenting tough classes that would risk such negative outcomes and, not incidentally, halt the hefty flow of federal funds to the elite schools. These schools, of course, do not specialize in quality education, rather they specialize in making profits to expand their already enormous endowments and  to adbance their campaigns to destroy the American republic.

there appears to be some evidence showing this educational scheme may be creating a corps of flag officers who, after their semester or academic-year schooling, are less professional military leaders than they were before they matriculated. Certainly, it is evident that the experience has helped to move much of the U.S. general officer corps in an increasingly anti-American, woke, insubordinate, and partisan political direction. Their public words, spoken and in print, during the recent presidential campaign is irrefutable evidence of that decline. Ditto for the fifty senior intelligence officers, and their master Anthony Blinken, who falsely assigned the Hunter Biden laptop to the realm of Russian covert action in order to prevent Trump winning the 2020 election. It also is safe to assume that the senior Intelligence Community officers who have been dipped in the Ivy League’s pot of aggressive anti-Americanism and wokism, have gained nothing that strengthens their capabilities from an educational experience having little, if anything, to do with the way world actually works.

Instead, these grandees from both the intelligence and the military communities return to work as perpetual adolescents, generals who madly believe the Ivy League drivel they were taught, and so think they can reshape the world in whatever is the image-of-the-day that, the politicians, and the media favor. That remaking, of course, must always be based on a using the tools of military power and war, but both used only aggressively enough to ensure America always loses the interventionists wars that presidents starts or enter, but never intend to win. No American alive today has ever heard from an American flag officer or senior Intelligence officer who has been on the winning side of a post-1945 U.S. interventionist war, with the exception of those CIA intelligence officers who aided the Afghans’ defeat of the Red Army, and a goodly number of those men and women were the Agency’s superb and always under-celebrated Logisticians

As noted, U.S. generals have lost all the unconstitutional interventionist wars their presidents have tasked them to win since Japan’s surrender. Mired in this endless failure, they have been, amazingly, treated as gods on earth. From dawn to dusk, they have been fawned over by presidents, the public, the Congress, the federal government, the media, and the arms-makers. With none of the fawners ever have the commonsense or courage to ask the generals why they are the proud owners of a losing streak equal in years to those once held by the Red Sox and Cubs. Today, more than ever, these flag-officers stand out as the unserious, modestly talented, and genuinely hapless individuals and have proven on the battlefield.

There are a number ways to bring these political generals to book: early retirements, investigations into their crystal-clear incompetence, and military-law punishment for out-of-line political activities, etc. One other key and commonsense way to do so is to keep military officers ear-marked for a future star as far away as possible from an assignment — at taxpayers’ expense — to Ivy League and other elite U.S. universities, and thereby the Marxist and anti-republican agendas those schools use to seek the destruction of the republic, its Constitution, and the U.S. military and intelligence communities.

It is harder to know what to do about those post-Ivy League intelligence officers bound for top Intelligence Community positions. The CIA, for example, has been staffed by a large number of Ivy-League graduates since its inception. As is to be expected, those graduates hire more of their kind and over the course of the Agency’s existence their arrogant, elitist, and anti-American style of thinking, strenthened in them by their universities, have been transferred to Langley. One only needs to recall, first, the Agency’s always gung-ho readiness for unnecessary and always lost interventionist wars, its willingness to ignore the law to please and secure the protection of their budget providers, and, for at least the past two decades, their utterly disgraceful and illegal eagerness to avoid protecting Americans as they, instead, arduously labor to destroy the U.S. Constitution and help the FBI harass, defame, and probably incarcerate Americans on the orders of their various Ivy-League educated presidents and organizations that should be, but are not, designated as agents of foreign power.

This morning’s news reports about “terrorist” attacks in Las Vegas and New Orleans ought to cause Americans to stop and think about the costs of continuing to expand the U.S. position in the Muslim world and to allow Muslims – and all other foreigners — to enter this country illegally. The key to thinking about this situation can be found in the lies of two former presidents.

–The claim of Obama – and his half-wit and anti-American intelligence advisers Brennan and Clapper – that the killing of Osama bin Laden was the road’s end for Al-Qaeda. This was either a damned-lie or was spoken by men who knew nothing about militant Islam. I believe it was both. The day the U.S. killed Bin Laden was long after Al-Qaeda’s chief had clearly achieved — with the help of Allah and the military stupidity of U.S. flag officers — his main goal of creating a self-perpetuating jihad that would carry on after he, and even al-Qaeda, had gone to their reward in the hereafter.

–The claim of Trump – which has been rebroadcast often in the past hours – that the U.S. air campaign he waged, in cooperation with Russian air forces, against ISIS and al-Qaeda in Iraq wiped those groups out and closed the book on them also was a lie, although he was surrounded by senior U.S. military veterans, many of whom were working against him. In any event, he and his unfriendly advisers probably never had a clue about the nature, faith, and endurance of the Islamic fighters who beat their military butts like a drum in Afghanistan and Iraq. He and his generals hated them, but never bothered – they were Arab turban wearers, after all – to try to understand what the Islamists were up to or why they were up to it. Indeed, they and Obama’s gang rained abuse on those subordinates who urged them to wake up to the dangerous strategy and intentions of the Islamist enemy, as well as its determination, grit, and patience.

So, as Americans, we stand today on what might be a resurgence of Islamist fighting groups here in the United States. Why?

–a.) U.S. military forces have never defeated the Islamist militants in any war in which we have fought them, save the U.S.-Muslim war in the Philippines in the 2oth Century’s first decade. The Pentagon and its NATO allies are the very essence of “ignorant losers” when it comes to Islamist insurgencies, or the recent insurgent-like attacks in New Orleans, Las Vegas, and Europe. These flag-officers are great at killing the innocent and the fighters, but they cannot or will not accurately analyze the Islamist enemy’s motivation, durability, and thinking processes. Nor are they capable of winning a war against an Islamist opponents, men who are armed with few or no whiz-bang super weapons, but are battle-hardened, driven by their faith, almost unbelievably patient, and armed by Biden with $86 billion of U.S. weaponry he donated to them in Afghanistan, with more money and guns flowing in from Arab leaders, private funders, Western intelligence agencies, and gun-runners operating out of Ukraine.

–b.) The survival of Al-Qaeda, ISIS, and other Islamist insurgent groups has not only to do with America’s inability and unwillingness to defeat them, but with two other points as well. First, the sickening arrogance and stupidity that, since at least 1995, made U.S. and European political and military leaders uninterested in reading and understanding the spoken words the leaders of the worldwide Islamist movement. These men and women are even worse than those who failed, with calamitous results, to read Mein Kampf or listen to General Giap. Second, the operating assumption of the U.S. and Western intelligence services, as well as many presidents, generals, and prime ministers, and all members of Congress and Parliaments, is that if the Islamists are not attacking us, they are defeated, they have quit, or they were not as strong and durable as some reputed them to be. The only correct assumption about such a period of Islamist inactivity – short or prolonged – is one that says they are planning more war, praying for Allah’s approval, and deciding where and when to wage the fight, while knowing their enemies lose sight of them due to the lack of attacks, intellectual disinterest, and plain old sloth.

–c.) Americans also need to recall that Bin Laden explained in his speeches and written works, that al-Qaeda’s attacks outside Afghanistan were designed to bring the United States and its allies to commit their military forces to a land war in Afghanistan. He sid that foreign operations took too long to plan and train for, were very expensive, were hard to run securely, and often delivered not much more than glancing blows, as in East Africa and Yemen. The 9/11 raid, however, did the trick, and the U.S. and NATO militaries struck out for Afghanistan without a plan for what they had to to do, and then left twenty years later, running away like a chaotic bunch of grammar school girls confronted by a snake.

 Finally, noting two more aspects of Usama bin Ladin’s thinking is a good way to end. (d.) He did successfully entice the United States to accept his gracious invitation to come to Afghanistan and get thoroughly licked, and (e.) by all reporting, he never stopped praying to Allah that he, al-Qaeda, and all Islamist groups, would – through their prayers and actions – prove themselves worthy of his support in driving the Americans and their allies from the Muslim world, particularly the Middle East. Naturally, no one knows the workings of the divine mind. It ought to be said, however, that all of the problems Bin Laden spoke of in staging attacks in the United States have, since his death, been wiped clean away by an insane U.S. immigration policy; the U.S. and NATO governments bringing tens of thousands of the Afghan military personnel, whom their generals had  trained, into the United States and Europe during and after the disgraceful crushing of the U.S. and NATO in Afghanistan, which also prove that the third British occupation of the country wasn’t much of a charm for the UK. These Afghans and their kin have received preference over native-citizens, pampering, and protection from the law by the U.S. and European regime. Also in America, the Afghans and their fellow Islamists have garnered indispensable aid from the Democratic Party, its host of reprehensible NGO allies — all bent on destroying the republic — as well as from the Biden administration’s neutering of U.S. law enforcement capabilities at all levels of government. These efforts have yielded a fine and fairly secure environment for U.S.-based Islamist leaders to build networks in many areas of the country, as well as to train fighters to use when the time is right for attacks.

Mr. Trump.                                                                29 December 2024

I believe you will recall that you won the presidency by receiving unflinching support from many tens of millions of Americans on dozen or more issues, but for none of those issues was their support more unanimous than for removing all illegal aliens from the United States and for the United States to stop causing wars and start staying out of other peoples’ wars. The second issue is the one I wanted to speak to you about on this occasion.

It is time, Sir, for you to square with your supporters and all Americans. “No more wars” means exactly that, and yet you never miss chance to threaten Palestinians, Lebanese, Iranians, Syrians, and other Muslim peoples because they dare to defend themselves against their own governing tyrannies and/or the worst neighbor – Israel — that has existed as a nation state in the Middle East since 1945. In your first term, during the recent election campaign, and now in the pre-inauguration interregnum, you, too many of your cabinet members, and other of your appointees have formed a billionaires’ band playing the “I love Israel to death” song, as well as that raucous ditty “U.S. military might must be used to annihilate the foes of Israel and Zionism.” Perhaps you genuinely enjoy a job at which you so clearly excel; namely, being Israel’s most famous, bloodthirsty, and loud-mouthed international stooge.

Your first term demonstrated your readiness to throw genuine U.S. national security interests to the wind by supporting Israel’s every imperialistic decision and action. You and your administration, for example, recognized the legality of Israel’s imperial land-grab of the Golan Heights area, and you eagerly tugged your forelock at Israel’s command to move our embassy to Jerusalem. On the latter, I think it’s a safe bet that you and most other post-1945 presidents would have withdrawn our embassy from any country other than Israel if it consistently and joyously behaved as savagely as Israel does toward Palestinian and Lebanese civilians. You and all presidents since Nixon, on other hand, have abetted, approved, and funded just that sort of Israeli violence. Even your much-ballyhooed “Abraham Accords” certainly would have worked out in Israel’s interest, making it stronger, wealthier, and ever more capable of killing Muslim civilians and stealing more of their land.

What is it, Mr. Trump, that makes you so eager to be Israel’s mindless, pontificating shill? The faith of your daughter and her husband? The tens of million dollars in Jewish-American campaign contributions you received to help win the recent election? A simple envy of Netanyahu, his dictatorship, and his ability, when the whim hits him, to murder civilians at home and in other countries? Or could it be you are just a well-disguised Zionist?

And why is it, Sir, that you have on all occasions supported AIPAC, the ADL, and the SPLC and treated them as the defenders of Israel, rather as the eternal and lethal enemies of the United States, the role for which they were formed? These agents of a foreign power were tasked task by Biden and his fellow traitors to depict your supporters as “White Supremacists”, “Terrorists”, and “America’s enemies” and you did nothing to tell Americans that each of these anti-U.S. organizations were being paid by, at least, the Pentagon, the FBI, DHS, and DOJ to pretend to do “research” that found “hard evidence” showing most white Christian Americans fall into those categories of enemies. You would know – if you just fire-up your Ivy League-trained brain — that those organizations make long lists of Christian Americans for Biden’s brown shirts, especially highlighting those who oppose abortion, who intransigently oppose foreign wars, and who wildly oppose Israeli, Jewish-American, and all other foreign control of the federal government, many state governments, and much of our economic and academic elites. It is also worth your time to explain to the American people that the above-named agents of a foreign power are buying-off/bribing 534 of the 535 elected members of the two houses of Congress, making each of 534 members receiving such funds an agent of a foreign power, a traitor, or both.

Though I may be misremembering, Sir, I recall that you unequivocally sided with the organizations named above, and with those wealthy Jewish-Americans, who withdrew their massive donations to U.S. universities, when the leaders thereof did not support abrogating the First Amendment for all students protesting Israel’s deliberate murder of Palestinian women and children. What would move you as a presidential candidate, Sir, to side with such transparent and deadly foes of our Constitution and Bill of Rights? At least you might have mentioned that earlier those vengeful anti-U.S. Jewish Americans had no qualms, indeed, they were enthusiastic, about sending many tens billions of dollars to the same universities, if those schools would indoctrinate their students in the damnable tenets of socialism, anti-Americanism, Bolshevism, Communism, Wokism, abortion-on-demand, Israel-love, DEI, multiculturalism, an epic list of sexual depravities, and that truly demented and society-destroying Hillaryite motto “diversity makes us stronger”. Mr. Trump, does the Jewish-American funding of U.S. universities to enable this list of atrocities to be embedded by their shill professors in the minds of our students really strike you as desirable?

Mr. Trump, your greatest, and seemingly deliberate, failure has been not only your refusal to explain to Americans the obvious fact that Israel and its wealthy Jewish-American supporters have been the enemies of the America republic since Israel was founded in 1948. You also have not, in addition, publicly spoken of the fact that the base of America’s dire Israel problem lies not only with that arrogant, racist and war-mongering state and its wealthy Jewish-Americans billionaires, but as importantly with the relentless avariciousness of American politicians at all levels of government and all walks of life in which Israel and their Jewish-American acolytes need to force their cooperation via compromise-operations, payoffs, or threats. Mr. Trump, there is no chance of America becoming what the Founders intended, a peaceful and non-interventionist country, but always willing to defend itself if attacked, until the United States sheds itself of binding ties with Israel and NATO, ties that demand America’s participation in wars whether or not U.S. interests are at risk and without the crystal-clear and iron-clad constitutional responsibility of Congress to debate and publicly vote yes-to-no on a proposal to go to war. The Constitution says, Mr. Trump, if there is not a majority Congressional vote for war, there can be no war. Currently, U.S. post-1945 presidents are less presidents than they are Warlords. Perhaps that status appeals to your imagination, and, if so, wars on Israel’s behalf are clearly the way to cement your own war-lordship and thereby continue the destruction of the Constitution’s most vital provisions.

Finally, Mr. Trump, it is worth remembering that Israel’s major claim when demanding U.S. and really universal aid in all the wars and killing it uses is the claim that “Israel has a right to exist.” That assertion, Sir, is the purest of pure ahistorical horseshit. There is precisely no historical record of a nation-state surviving just because it publicly, tiresomely, and endlessly repeated the claim that it has a “right to exist.” Are we really saying, Sir, that if Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito – or Saddam, Kaiser Wilhelm, Mullah Omar, Bashar al-Assad, Gaddafi, or Ho Chi Minh, for that matter — had simply broadcast radio speeches claiming that Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan had “the right to exist” that, in recognition of that right, the United States and its allies would have agreed and – as they have in the case of Israel – then started attacking countries and targets chosen by Berlin and Tokyo. Only a madman – or a well-compensated mad man — could find that a correct course of action. Yet that is precisely what the United States government has done via presidential and congressional defiance of the Constitution – under both parties — vis-à-vis Israel since 1948.

I have chosen, Mr. Trump, not to leave this piece as simply a well-earned criticism of your lack of respect for genuine and commonsense American national security interests, Christianity, the liberty of American citizens, the proper constitutional behavior of a president, even though you have added to those faults your own sickening butt-kissing of Israel, its leaders, and the Jewish-American moneybags who pay the bills. So, to end on a more helpful note, I am appending some reading suggestions for you and your advisers; perhaps the latter could summarize them for you. I can promise you, Mr. Trump, that you, your team, and those people who you are now poised to govern, would greatly benefit from such a review of the literature below.

Start, naturally, with George Washington’s Farewell Address, a work as vitally relevant to the republic’s survival today as it was 1796; the speeches of Virginia’s great non-interventionist John Randolph of Roanoke; the war-related, pre-World Wars speeches of Republican Senators William Borah and Robert Taft; the startlingly accurate work of journalist John Flynn, on how the New Deal and Roosevelt’s war opened a path toward Fascism in America; a selection of the fiction and non-fiction works of Gore Vidal; the brilliant anti-imperialism writings of Mark Twain; and, for an understanding of why war inevitably causes the destruction of American culture, society, unity, economic well-being, liberty, and patriotism, see the invaluable non-fiction and fictional works of Bill Kauffman, the poet and novelist Wendell Berry, and the philosopher Richard M. Weaver.

As a lead-in to the foregoing, I have appended below a speech made by Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh – latter promoted to General – in Des Moines, Iowa, on 11 September 1941. The speech is titled “Who are the War Agitators?”. The speech provides a brilliant example of the arguments and true intentions of non-interventionists; namely to persuade as many Americans as possible that, to preserve the republic, the U.S. government must resolutely stay out of other peoples’ wars, and to avoid electing presidents – like FDR – who will connive, deceive, and seek aid from foreign powers to force Americans to enter wars in which the republic has very few if any genuine national interests at risk. The FDR regime, its media operatives, and its allies — or masters? — in the British intelligence services responded to this speech with a deliberate effort that ruined the previously splendid, heroic, and well-earned reputation of Colonel Lindbergh, who until the time surely was considered the greatest American in the first 41 years of the 20th Century. The FDR-directed response to the speech also is one of the greatest, most obvious, and best-documented examples of a federal-government planned and managed effort to severely limit the right of free speech on the topic of non-intervention at times when the sitting president is eager to get the United States into an interventionist war.

–On 11 September 1941, Colonel Lindbergh said to his audience:

“It is now two years since this latest European war began. From that day in September, 1939, until the present moment, there has been an over-increasing effort to force the United States into the conflict.

That effort has been carried on by foreign interests, and by a small minority of our own people; but it has been so successful that, today, our country stands on the verge of war.

At this time, as the war is about to enter its third winter, it seems appropriate to review the circumstances that have led us to our present position. Why are we on the verge of war? Was it necessary for us to become so deeply involved? Who is responsible for changing our national policy from one of neutrality and independence to one of entanglement in European affairs?

Personally, I believe there is no better argument against our intervention than a study of the causes and developments of the present war. I have often said that if the true facts and issues were placed before the American people, there would be no danger of our involvement.

Here, I would like to point out to you a fundamental difference between the groups who advocate foreign war, and those who believe in an independent destiny for America.

If you will look back over the record, you will find that those of us who oppose intervention have constantly tried to clarify facts and issues; while the interventionists have tried to hide facts, and confuse issues.

We ask you to read what we said last month, last year, and even before the war began. Our record is open and clear, and we are proud of it.

We have not led you on by subterfuge and propaganda. We have not resorted to steps short of anything, in order to take the American people where they did not want to go.

What we said before the elections, we say [illegible] and again, and again today. And we will not tell you tomorrow that it was just campaign oratory. Have you ever heard an interventionist, or a British agent, or a member of the administration in Washington ask you to go back and study a record of what they have said since the war started? Are their self-styled defenders of democracy willing to put the issue of war to a vote of our people? Do you find these crusaders for foreign freedom of speech, or the removal of censorship here in our own country?

The subterfuge and propaganda that exists in our country is obvious on every side. Tonight, I shall try to pierce through a portion of it, to the naked facts which lie beneath.

When this war started in Europe, it was clear that the American people were solidly opposed to entering it. Why shouldn’t we be? We had the best defensive position in the world; we had a tradition of independence from Europe; and the one time we did take part in a European war left European problems unsolved, and debts to America unpaid.

National polls showed that when England and France declared war on Germany, in 1939, less than 10 percent of our population favored a similar course for America. But there were various groups of people, here and abroad, whose interests and beliefs necessitated the involvement of the United States in the war. I shall point out some of these groups tonight, and outline their methods of procedure. In doing this, I must speak with the utmost frankness, for in order to counteract their efforts, we must know exactly who they are.

The three most important groups who have been pressing this country toward war are the British, the Jewish and the Roosevelt administration.

Behind these groups, but of lesser importance, are a number of capitalists, Anglophiles, and intellectuals who believe that the future of mankind depends upon the domination of the British empire. Add to these the Communistic groups who were opposed to intervention until a few weeks ago, and I believe I have named the major war agitators in this country.

I am speaking here only of war agitators, not of those sincere but misguided men and women who, confused by misinformation and frightened by propaganda, follow the lead of the war agitators.

As I have said, these war agitators comprise only a small minority of our people; but they control a tremendous influence. Against the determination of the American people to stay out of war, they have marshaled the power of their propaganda, their money, their patronage.

Let us consider these groups, one at a time.

First, the British: It is obvious and perfectly understandable that Great Britain wants the United States in the war on her side. England is now in a desperate position. Her population is not large enough and her armies are not strong enough to invade the continent of Europe and win the war she declared against Germany.

Her geographical position is such that she cannot win the war by the use of aviation alone, regardless of how many planes we send her. Even if America entered the war, it is improbable that the Allied armies could invade Europe and overwhelm the Axis powers. But one thing is certain. If England can draw this country into the war, she can shift to our shoulders a large portion of the responsibility for waging it and for paying its cost.

As you all know, we were left with the debts of the last European war; and unless we are more cautious in the future than we have been in the past, we will be left with the debts of the present case. If it were not for her hope that she can make us responsible for the war financially, as well as militarily, I believe England would have negotiated a peace in Europe many months ago, and be better off for doing so.

England has devoted, and will continue to devote every effort to get us into the war. We know that she spent huge sums of money in this country during the last war in order to involve us. Englishmen have written books about the cleverness of its use.

We know that England is spending great sums of money for propaganda in America during the present war. If we were Englishmen, we would do the same. But our interest is first in America; and as Americans, it is essential for us to realize the effort that British interests are making to draw us into their war.

The second major group I mentioned is the Jewish.

It is not difficult to understand why Jewish people desire the overthrow of Nazi Germany. The persecution they suffered in Germany would be sufficient to make bitter enemies of any race.

No person with a sense of the dignity of mankind can condone the persecution of the Jewish race in Germany. But no person of honesty and vision can look on their pro-war policy here today without seeing the dangers involved in such a policy both for us and for them. Instead of agitating for war, the Jewish groups in this country should be opposing it in every possible way for they will be among the first to feel its consequences.

Tolerance is a virtue that depends upon peace and strength. History shows that it cannot survive war and devastations. A few far-sighted Jewish people realize this and stand opposed to intervention. But the majority still do not.

Their greatest danger to this country lies in their large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio and our government.

I am not attacking either the Jewish or the British people. Both races, I admire. But I am saying that the leaders of both the British and the Jewish races, for reasons which are as understandable from their viewpoint as they are inadvisable from ours, for reasons which are not American, wish to involve us in the war.

We cannot blame them for looking out for what they believe to be their own interests, but we also must look out for ours. We cannot allow the natural passions and prejudices of other peoples to lead our country to destruction.

The Roosevelt administration is the third powerful group which has been carrying this country toward war. Its members have used the war emergency to obtain a third presidential term for the first time in American history. They have used the war to add unlimited billions to a debt which was already the highest we have ever known. And they have just used the war to justify the restriction of congressional power, and the assumption of dictatorial procedures on the part of the president and his appointees.

The power of the Roosevelt administration depends upon the maintenance of a wartime emergency. The prestige of the Roosevelt administration depends upon the success of Great Britain to whom the president attached his political future at a time when most people thought that England and France would easily win the war. The danger of the Roosevelt administration lies in its subterfuge. While its members have promised us peace, they have led us to war heedless of the platform upon which they were elected.

In selecting these three groups as the major agitators for war, I have included only those whose support is essential to the war party. If any one of these groups–the British, the Jewish, or the administration–stops agitating for war, I believe there will be little danger of our involvement.

I do not believe that any two of them are powerful enough to carry this country to war without the support of the third. And to these three, as I have said, all other war groups are of secondary importance.

When hostilities commenced in Europe, in 1939, it was realized by these groups that the American people had no intention of entering the war. They knew it would be worse than useless to ask us for a declaration of war at that time. But they believed that this country could be entered into the war in very much the same way we were entered into the last one.

They planned: first, to prepare the United States for foreign war under the guise of American defense; second, to involve us in the war, step by step, without our realization; third, to create a series of incidents which would force us into the actual conflict. These plans were of course, to be covered and assisted by the full power of their propaganda.

Our theaters soon became filled with plays portraying the glory of war. Newsreels lost all semblance of objectivity. Newspapers and magazines began to lose advertising if they carried anti-war articles. A smear campaign was instituted against individuals who opposed intervention. The terms “fifth columnist,” “traitor,” “Nazi,” “anti-Semitic” were thrown ceaselessly at any one who dared to suggest that it was not to the best interests of the United States to enter the war. Men lost their jobs if they were frankly anti-war. Many others dared no longer speak.

Before long, lecture halls that were open to the advocates of war were closed to speakers who opposed it. A fear campaign was inaugurated. We were told that aviation, which has held the British fleet off the continent of Europe, made America more vulnerable than ever before to invasion. Propaganda was in full swing.

There was no difficulty in obtaining billions of dollars for arms under the guise of defending America. Our people stood united on a program of defense. Congress passed appropriation after appropriation for guns and planes and battleships, with the approval of the overwhelming majority of our citizens. That a large portion of these appropriations was to be used to build arms for Europe, we did not learn until later. That was another step.

To use a specific example; in 1939, we were told that we should increase our air corps to a total of 5,000 planes. Congress passed the necessary legislation. A few months later, the administration told us that the United States should have at least 50,000 planes for our national safety. But almost as fast as fighting planes were turned out from our factories, they were sent abroad, although our own air corps was in the utmost need of new equipment; so, that today, two years after the start of war, the American army has a few hundred thoroughly modern bombers and fighters–less in fact, than Germany is able to produce in a single month.

Ever since its inception, our arms program has been laid out for the purpose of carrying on the war in Europe, far more than for the purpose of building an adequate defense for America.

Now at the same time we were being prepared for a foreign war, it was necessary, as I have said, to involve us in the war. This was accomplished under that now famous phrase “steps short of war.”

England and France would win if the United States would only repeal its arms embargo and sell munitions for cash, we were told. And then [illegible] began, a refrain that marked every step we took toward war for many months–“the best way to defend America and keep out of war.” we were told, was “by aiding the Allies.”

First, we agreed to sell arms to Europe; next, we agreed to loan arms to Europe; then we agreed to patrol the ocean for Europe; then we occupied a European island in the war zone. Now, we have reached the verge of war.

The war groups have succeeded in the first two of their three major steps into war. The greatest armament program in our history is under way.

We have become involved in the war from practically every standpoint except actual shooting. Only the creation of sufficient “incidents” yet remains; and you see the first of these already taking place, according to plan — a plan that was never laid before the American people for their approval.

Men and women of Iowa; only one thing holds this country from war today. That is the rising opposition of the American people. Our system of democracy and representative government is on test today as it has never been before. We are on the verge of a war in which the only victor would be chaos and prostration.

We are on the verge of a war for which we are still unprepared, and for which no one has offered a feasible plan for victory–a war which cannot be won without sending our soldiers across the ocean to force a landing on a hostile coast against armies stronger than our own.

We are on the verge of war, but it is not yet too late to stay out. It is not too late to show that no amount of money, or propaganda, or patronage can force a free and independent people into war against its will. It is not yet too late to retrieve and to maintain the independent American destiny that our forefathers established in this new world.

The entire future rests upon our shoulders. It depends upon our action, our courage, and our intelligence. If you oppose our intervention in the war, now is the time to make your voice heard.

Help us to organize these meetings; and write to your representatives in Washington. I tell you that the last stronghold of democracy and representative government in this country is in our house of representatives and our senate.

There, we can still make our will know. And if we, the American people, do that, independence and freedom will continue to live among us, and there will be no foreign war.” (1)

–1.) Charles A. Lindbergh, “Who are the War Agitators”, Des Moines, Iowa, 11 September 1941, http://www.charleslindbergh.com/americanfirst/speech.asp. (NB: This is a terrific and thoughful website on Lindbergh, his life, his accomplishments, and his never-ending readiness to take private and public jobs that allowed him to help the United States better defend itself, often at a risk to his own life. It also provides useful information on his wife and family and about the America in which he lived and worked.

After several days of listening to the mainstream media crow about the glorious eviction of Assad from his perch in Damascus, I can only think that the U.S. governing elite’s knowledge of the Middle East is as half-assed and self-serving as it was when Osama bin Laden declared war on the United States in late 1996. At that time, America’s senior foreign policy leaders Clinton, Gore, Berger, Albright, Tenet, and Clarke, scorned the declaration of war by a turban, robe, and sandal wearing Arab, a man who was a Saudi and all brilliant American political leaders, generals, and ace journalists were certain that a Saudi could threaten no one but the female Western flight attendants who stayed between flights in Amman’s the ritzy hotels. At one point in the run-up to the 9/11 attack, Clinton asked the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, then General Hugh Shelton, if his ninjas — special forces — could eliminate bin Laden. Shelton answered he would not risk his troops on Bin Laden and his fighters because they trained on what looked like playground equipment.

A few points might help to partially negate the nonsense now being dispensed about a major Western and Israeli victory in Syria by adolescent politicians, TV generals, journalists, and reality-resistant ambassadors.

–1.) The violent overthrow of a regime in the Middle East – and in much of the world – seldom yields a happy-ever-after scenario. It yields violence, usually extended, and more important a beachhead for Islamist militants as they proceed with plans to remove the cancer on Islam they consider Israel to be. By the way, the mujahidin have never been closer to that goal then they are today.

–2.) The U.S. government, the EU regimes, the UN, and the World Economic Forum are all rejoicing because the security provided by Assad’s regime – and previously by Iraq’s Saddam Hussein – for Christians is over, and they will be exterminated by the Islamists as time passes. Another point to keep in mind is that the Obama and Biden administrations have long been working and funding Islamist guerilla groups in the Middle East, as part of their strategy to make-friends with America’s Islamist enemies using multi-billion payoffs of Iran, support for some of the Islamist groups now in play, and the pathetic sight – more than a decade ago — of the U.S. ambassador to Syria wandering around Damascus urging Syrians to rebel against Assad’s regime, thereby aiding the start of  the civil war that was devoured the country. The just mentioned would-be Islamist allies of Obama and Biden, of course, graciously accepted funding by American taxpayers. They then did as they pleased or cooperated in operations they and their U.S. backers favored, all of which provided steps forward for the Islamists and their goals.

–3.) Jordan, the last block to the Islamists’ ability to engage Israel along its eastern border, is no reliable Gibraltar. Since the present Hamas-Israel War began there has been restlessness in the Jordanian army about the king’s failure to assist the forces attacking Israel. Jordan is thought to be in America’s pocket, but that pocket holds virtually none of the Jordanian people and nothing which can salve popular Jordanian hatred for Israel. In the ahistorical minds of Western leaders, Jordan may be a rock blocking the Mujahedin’s westward advance, but it is a rock made only by a mix of paper Mache and massive over-confidence in the ability of Jordan’s king to hold the fort.

–4.) The key to the future in the post-Assad Middle East, as always, lies in Israel’s ability to effectively exercise its bought-and-paid for ownership of the U.S. Congress, president, flag officers, and TV generals. Badly damaged by Hamas, the Houthis, Hezbollah, and Iran, the IDF – although backed by Israeli arrogance, racism, bribing power, and spectacularly wasted U.S. arms and money, cannot go it alone for any prolonged period against the mujahedin if the latter begin to solidify control of Syria and, as more fighters join them, strike against Jordan’s supposed strength. Netanyahu likely will send his troops and tanks into Syria to kill as many Muslims as possible, gun-carrying or otherwise. The Israeli government has never had much respect for Muslim fighters, and, even after their recent drubbing, are reliably afflicted with the same blindness. Odds are that the IDF and its armor will make initial quick advances and then begin to slow as increasing numbers of mujahedin arrive to reinforce the Islamist fighters in Syria. At first they will come from Iraq, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Libya, the Gulf States, Turkey, and Europe. Those coming from Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, the United States, the Philippines, Canada, the Balkans, Indonesia, Thailand, Chechnya, and Malaysia will take a bit longer to arrive. The Islamists in these countries have been stewing in their anger for governments that have done little to help those who have been fighting Israel for more than a year. Most governments in those countries surely will prefer to send their domestic mujahedin problem abroad rather than cope with its presence – and anger – at home.

–5.) What does that mean for American parents? Well, it at least means that the Pentagon ought to be adding new acres to Arlington Cemetery. The future of the now developing situation in Syria is pretty much predictable. The IDF’s troops, armor, and air-cover will make quick gains and then find itself gradually confronting more and better armed mujahedin, a force that enjoys access to the virtually unlimited manpower of the Muslim world. Israel’s advance will slow and plans that have long existed between the U.S. government, Pentagon, CIA, and Israel will be activated and U.S. military forces will be committed to die in an effort to try to save America’s number one enemy, Israel.

–6.) At that point, Americans will begin to hear the same old song they have heard during every war the U.S. military has lost since 1945, and that means all the wars our presidents have started in violation of the Constitution. The lyrics coming from the Trump Administration will strike the ear as quite familiar: “Israel is our ally” [a lie, it is our fierce and very destructive enemy], “Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East” [except for its Muslim and Christian populations], “America is an exceptional nation and is duty bound to defend democracy wherever it is threatened” [a lie, Americans are people like all others, fallen beings capable of great good and – as demonstrated by Biden’s bunch – despicable, deliberate, and deadly evil]; and, finally, “The U.S. military is the finest and strongest in the world and can achieve any goal it is assigned (another lie, the U.S. military is led by woke flag officers, loyal to Biden not to the Constitution or the citizenry. It has been crippled by Biden, Austin, and woke flag officers intentionally infecting it with mandatory sexual deviance and a death-sentence in the form of mandatory inoculation with Covid vaccines.

–7.) Aside from its nuclear forces, the U.S. military is a tottering and badly led wreck, capable only of spending a combined total of 40-plus years being defeated in Afghanistan and Iraq, and then running like frightened school girls to get out of Kabul, leaving the strategic Bagram airfield for the Chinese and over $80 billion of first-class arms for the Taliban. The latter can now be shared with or sold to Islamist fighters bound for Syria, whose goal will ultimately be the Muslim-world-uniting word “Jerusalem”.

–8.) At the moment, Americans seem stuck with no choice but to watch their sons and daughters being sent to fight and die for Israel’s manic dream of “Greater Israel”, a goal that is as far away as is possible from a life-and-death American interest. It is now clear that President Trump’s “no more foreign wars” carries the clear caveat “Except for Israel”, and then it will be war whenever Israel tells its American poodle to fight. Trump in his first term and recently has sounded more like a dedicated Israeli, not an American interested in seeing his country abandon a nearly 75-year record of unnecessary and always lost wars. And up and down the line of the new administration’s appointments – from Hegseth, to Radcliffe, to Gabbard, to Rubio, to Kennedy, to Stefanik, to Rev. Huckabee, to Patel, to Vance, etc., etc. etc., one finds ardent warmongering Israeli Firsters eager to expend enormous revenue and plenty of American lives whenever our Israeli ally tells its poodle to jump. Needless to say, there will be no help from either house of Congress for keeping us out of other peoples’ wars, especially that most useless of all wars, one fighting to protect Israel’s interests, arrogance, racism, anti-Americanism, and expansionism against much more than a billion Muslims. Among all nation states, Israel has long been one of the worst and least trustworthy neighbors the earth has seen. American policy should be to let Israel settle its own problems with its neighbors, without the waste of any more American blood, money, or the further rapid Ukraine-and-Israel driven dwindling of the U.S. military’s reserve stocks of weaponry.

–9. A genuine America First policy would see Trump’s administration telling Israel to shove off; quickly and accurately defining the ADL, the SPLC, AIPAC, and perhaps other groups as agents of a foreign power, begin to investigate their nefarious and hugely anti-American activities; prosecute influential American citizens – especially politicians and civil servants — who have taken money from the groups; strip every Congressman, Senator, flag officer, senior civil servant – and President? – of the Israeli passports they carry, and then seek to pass a law that completely bans all American citizens from holding any but a U.S. passport, and start legal actions against the federal and 37 state governments that are economically and unconstitutionally persecuting American citizens because they oppose Israel’s policies and actions and/or support an economic boycott of Israel.

–10.) After nearly a decade of Trump claiming his intent to create, maintain, and pursue an America First foreign policy, this is precisely the moment when he as to gallop or get off the horse. No nation has ever controlled the United States to the extent Israel does today. Not even the perfidious British were able to exert such control, although they did greatly influence two Anglophile presidents – Wilson and FDR – to intervene in two European wars that were none of our concern. British intelligence agencies also ran illegal covert operations – supported by FDR’s regime, rich Eastern elites, and Hoover’s FBI – to destroy the leaders and organization of the American First Movement in 1940-1941. At that time, the British, FDR and his coterie, and prominent Jewish-Americans – especially the movie-makers — cooperated to further develop and sharpen the barbarous but effective weapon of damning American citizens as “anti-Semites” if they chose to put their own country first at all times. So, what will it be, Mr. Trump, America First or continued and willing slavery to a nation irrelevant to genuine U.S. national-security interests?

Is there anything that a Democrat cannot get away with in terms of racism and corruption? Biden and his colleagues have never been shy about putting their racism on display. Biden and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, and the latter’s toady senior flag officers, for example. have publicly admitted they have made promotion of white officers in the U.S. military a rarity, favoring instead men and women of any other race, as well as transgender and DIE incompetents, and any other person able to bring demonstrable sexual depravity to the table. Austin also ordered the inoculation of all U.S. military personnel with the lethal Covid vaccines, though he probably exempted himself, his staff, and the majority of flag officers, those little gods who have not won a war since 1945 but can be relied on to keep the military on the side of Biden’s tyranny in its effort to kill the American republic. He also cashiered thousands of troops who refused the vaccine for legitimate constitutional or religious reasons.

Vice President Harris, when serving as California’s Attorney General, reportedly put a primary focus on arresting Black men, insuring they got maximum sentences for their crimes, and then kept them longer than their sentences required and sold their cheap labor to the private sector. Harris also waged a presidential election campaign that drowned in her trademark attributes; hatred of men, especially black men, a raving, lunatic desire to murder tens of millions of more infants, and her clearly pervasive anti-Christianity, supported by her favorite Christian-hating preacher Taylor Swift.

Homeland Security – a fascist agency-name if there ever was one — Secretary Mayorkas has, for four years, shown his stark hatred for all races, save for his utilitarian willingness to urge and provide passage for all non-whites willing to come to the United States to replace the falsely-portrayed dominance of the white population and make these new illegal, non-citizens a vital cog in the Democrat’s plans to cheat themselves to victory in future U.S. elections. Mayorkas made sure the non-whites came in mass, and had to travel difficult and dangerous routes, not giving a damn how many were injured or died along the way. He apparently felt them expendable and knew they were easily replaced. Mayorkas and his FEMA butchers also went hammer and tongs into Florida and North Carolina after Hurricane Helene – as they did in Maui and Ohio disasters — to make sure as many people died or lost their homes as possible, even ordering the FEMA gangsters to provide no assistance in Florida and North Carolina to those whose homes had lawn signs supporting Trump. Mayorkas, not suprisingly, is a Jewish-American and he and his dominant Jewish-American colleagues in Biden’s cabinet have gone out of their way to open the border, cause wars, use intelligence and law enforcement agencies to hound, harass, arrest, and terrorize those Americans and their families of any race who oppose Bidenite policies and Israel’s virulent anti-Americanism. Under Mayorkas, FEMA clearly meant to eliminate the political, security, and economic well-being of all Whites, Christians, and people of any other race or ethnicity who say or do things that offend the arrogant and cold-blooded madness of Biden’s Israel-First hit men. Being an Israel-Firster like Mayorkas, after all, demands that all Americans who object to or oppose that orientation be (a) eliminated by bankrupting the United States and killing its soldier-children in support of Israel’s never-ending lust for geographical expansion and, to ensure that expansion, the use of wars to murder as many Muslims and now Russians as possible; (b) to erase the viability of the 1^st and 2^nd Amendments by using the ADL, the SPLC, AIPAC, Jewish-American wealth that controls mainstream media, and the Israeli/Jewish-American-owned Congress to undermine what were intended by the nation’s Founders to be unalterable guarantees for free-speech, freedom of religion, and the right to carry firearms and, as a last resort, to use them to eliminate any and all who pose a palpable threat to the continuation of republicanism created by Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

–Joe Biden himself ranks near the top of all post-1945 racist and anti-Christian American politicians. From palling around with the dwindling number of influential southern bigots early in his career, to passing drug laws meant to easily convict Black Americans using crack cocaine and other drugs. The laws featured hard-and-fast punishments to intentionally handicap the effective defense of those arrested, and showed little or no concern for extenuating circumstances, questionable police behavior, the application of mercy. The law also left judges almost no discretion regarding the penalty to be applied. That strict anti-drug laws are needed for all American violators is not the issue here. The issue was the intense racism that drove the passing and application of the Biden-driven law aimed at Black men.

–Biden also has sealed his title as America’s biggest postwar presidential racist with his recent pardon of his son Hunter. Those offering defense of the pardon as a demonstration of a father’s love for his son are either liars or uninformed. Hunter’s career of crime speaks for itself, from being a bagman for politicians and family members committing well-paid treason with Ukraine, China, and probably a Central Asian state, to being an often photographed-and-videoed crack user and child molester, and a “loyal” son who allowed his e-mails and telephone conversations to show that his father was an enemy of the republic, as well as the “Big Guy” at the head of international criminal activity.

No, Biden cannot be given as pass by asserting that the pardon for Hunter was motivated by a father’s love. Indeed, Hunter Biden’s lengthy record of shoddy and shady behavior seems to suggest he was very poorly raised by a father, who has now let him take the fall for his crimes and then pardoned him. Joe, the loving father, also provided the fine fatherly example of showering with his teen-age daughter, and storing the nation’s top secret documents in his garage. In retrospect, information in the media suggests Biden was among the poorest of fathers. Joe Biden did not issue a pardon to Hunter because of love, but because he wants to keep his son’s mouth shut in regard to the numerous felonious crimes that Old Dad, his family, their fellow elitists, their business partners, and there political and judicial associates may be guilty.

Joe Biden also used the pardon to test the waters for pardoning the likes of: Shiff and his gangster-like deceit in orchestrating fabricated attempts to impeach Trump; Fauci and his actions, which are said to be so heinous that his behavior must be judged by a Nuremberg-like court to review his and others use of lethal vaccines to perform crimes against humanity that yielded tens of millions of deaths; General Mark Milly, a Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, who deliberately and blocked his commander-and chief’s access to America’s nuclear defense codes, and later boasted about this treason in the media. Milly also treasonously pledged to Chinese generals that he would call and warn them if the U.S. government planned to attack China. Liz Cheney who – with Pelosi’s indispensable support and seemingly illegal activities — appears to have driven the rigged January 6^th Committee to find a non-existent insurrection, which led to the false conviction and incarceration of hundreds of innocent American protestors, many of whom are still in jail nearly four years later.

Perhaps most damaging, Biden’s pardoning of his son to protect the collective butts of himself, his wife, his cabinet members, business partners, and family partners in likely crimes, irrefutably demonstrates the strongly entrenched position of racism in his mind and so in his conduct of public affairs. The possible crimes covered by Hunter’s pardon – including buying and using illegal narcotics, pedophilia, child molestation, unlawful handling of fire arms, deliberate failure to pay income tax, aiding in the corruption of the U.S. government’s executive branch, and perhaps even rank treason – are all crimes that other American would go to prison if found guilty. Regarding the above items related to illicit narcotics, unlawful handling of firearms, child molestation, and tax evasion, each has been used for decades by federal, state, and local law-enforcement agencies to frame Black – and more recently whites and Hispanics — individuals and send them to jail.

In sum, Biden’s pardoning of his son seems to have little to do with love, but all to do with his, his regime’s, and his party’s (a) hatred for Blacks, Whites, Christians, Constitutionalists, and most anyone else who oppose Democratic oppression and republic wrecking; (b) the need to protect the corrupt governing elite in both parties; (c) the preservation of his own freedom and that of his familial partners after their legally questionably conduct; (d) many other crooked federal politicians and judges; and (e) the always preferentially treated sets of U.S. citizens, such as Jewish Americans, the sexually deviant, abortionists and other mass murderers, (f) incompetent DEI hires; and (g) the fully politicized and socialist federal bureaucracy.

For Biden and his anti-American party, continued freedom to operate will keep profits rolling in, in terms of growing anti-U.S. capabilities and ever-larger incomes. It also will strengthen the current two-tiered justice system needed to destroy the American republic’s Constitutional structure and Bill of Rights; maintain the president’s role as an all-powerful Warlord, not chief magistrate responsible to the citizenry; and the unrelenting initiation of murderous and bankrupting interventionist wars waged only in the interest of America’s biggest campaign donators, the republic-killing concepts of American Exceptionalism and a “sacred mission” to spread democracy; and grifter and war-criminal-led countries and organizations – like Ukraine, Israel, NATO, and The UN – which are of no genuine national-security interest to the United States and only make America weaker and Americans poorer.

Well, how does it feel to be at the brink of nuclear war? That is, a nuclear war being started by our NATO allies, EU governments, Europe-based NWO  and WEF leaders and groups, and their traitorous American  pawns on whom they are utterly dependent.

All of these Europeans are consumed with the same hatred for America which ruling-class Europeans have nearly choked since 1783, when we beat the British and their German mercenaries in a revolution and sent Europe on the start of a death ride that began with the rank madness of the French Revolution and culminated in the 1914-1918 war, The latter was a war that Wilson and his coterie of fellow half-wit internationalists should have ignored and let it burn itself out. From 1783 until this morning (27 November 2024) the words of the English novelist Fanny Trollope have been the guiding rules for the European elites whenever they deign to think of America. After touring America, Ms. Trollope wrote her thoughts about America and Americans in 1832 as follows: “I do not like them. I do not like their principles. I do not like their manners. I do not like their opinions.” (1)

What the novelist did not write about was the only reasons that Europeans have ever valued anything about America, namely: (a.) Our industriousness, hard work, economic resilience, and the enormous amount of money those attributes produce; and (b.) Our seemingly unlimited amount of manpower that could be used to save their useless and perverted royal asses whenever their cock-sureness, hubris, racism, and empire-building got them into a big trouble.

Today, Americans are seeing the catastrophic result of maintaining anything but trading ties with Europe. After we preserved its nations in two world wars – with, in the second, the great and indispensable help of Stalin, the Red Army, and the heroic workers of American war production – and then paid for the defense of what is now nearly 30 countries since the signing of the NATO treaty in 1949, America finds itself betrayed by Europe and its acolytes among U.S. presidents and politicians. Each of these countries, of course, have a privilege that only the stupid and lawless U.S. presidents and Congresses could have granted; namely, the immediate and completely unconstitutional participation of the United States in any war which any of those 30 long-has-been countries get themselves into. Wars which they would never start – or even contemplate — if it were not for the unconstitutional NATO Treaty and the deranged eagerness of U.S. Congresses, Senates, and the presidents to preen about as “leaders of the free world”, while all the European elites smugly smile over that demonstration of supreme ignorance and hubris, while simultaneously rejoicing over their ability to reliably tap America’s manpower, weaponry, and innate belligerency to the hilt for wars they want to start, such as the nuclear war with Russia that seems just around the corner.

If that nuclear war occurs it will do so because of the European elites, its pawns in both U.S. parties, delusional and/or bought-off U.S, presidents, high-heeled DEI Flag Officers; the Neocons, and the Israel-bought and controlled Congress, all traitors to the bone. After such a conflagration, the history that must be written for the few remaining readers will show that Europe, and especially its British politicians, militarists, intelligence services, and social planners, remain the same anti-liberty champions they were in 1783. It also should be kept in mind that this same bunch of British misfits created Israel on land Britain did not own, there to serve as a perpetual engine of mayhem and death in the Middle East.

Finally, after such a war there will be few joys for the survivors. One exception  will be, without doubt, the joy that dominates and guides the hearts and minds of those survivors who hunt down and eliminate those survivors in America and Europe who wantonly caused nuclear catastrophe, regretting only that they had not done so very much sooner.
