The losing war in Iran is perhaps the best lesson the American people have received about what happens when they don’t pay close attention to those who govern them. One would have thought that excessive taxation, uncontrolled immigration, and uncountable debt ought to have been plenty, or at least enough to make Americans and their families aware that they are being lied to and prepared for economic destitution as subjects rather than citizens.
And as for wars, here on the 250th year of the republic’s existence, Americans are witnessing the cumulative results of allowing several of our presidents to operate as War Lords – ones perhaps more powerful, and certainly less subtle, than Britain’s George III. On the 4th of July, just past, we celebrated what is, at best, a fading memory of the republic our founders created. Under no-more-wars-Trump, we have raided Venezuela for their oil and the money we can grab from it, so Washington can spend it and add to the increasingly lethal national debt. Now Trump has taken us into a losing war with Iran because he seems to be – with all of Congress and most of the media—owned lock, stock, and barrel by Israel and Jewish-American billionaires. We have come to the point where we cannot even identify the fact that Israel is the greatest enemy of the United States and Christians and their faith anywhere in the world. As if this is not enough, Trump and Rubio are lining up Cuba for the next U.S. military disaster.
Iran was no threat to us in terms of the republic’s survival; it never was. If it was such a threat, one must believe that Ronald Reagan would have wiped it off the map after Iran’s surrogate Hezbollah murdered more than 240 Marines in a terrorist attack in Lebanon 0n 23 August 1983. That said, Iran may perhaps be a fatal threat to Israel’s survival, but that’s a reality of Israel’s own and thorough making. Since the founding of the Israeli state, it has busied itself with killing Muslims of any sect that was handy in preparation for its goal of becoming the dominant power in its region. Iran has been its special target because it is an enormous, resource-rich, geographically defensible, heavily populated, and now, as it has been for many centuries, a proud and powerful country, with a rich history, in much-admired literature, architecture, and artwork, and a formerly potent and militarily impressive empire. By any measurement the experts choose to use, they will not be able to avoid the conclusion that a surviving Iran rings the death knell – and rings it as loud as hell — for the Greater Israel Project. That is, unless the United States destroys it for Israel, which now looks most unlikely, as our sailors seem to have had enough and are willing to try and swim to safety. Indeed, why would any American parent allow their son or daughter to join the U.S. military when its main jobs are doing Israel’s dirty work, supporting the Gangster Zelensky and his longtime, ultra-criminal Ukrainian state, and losing every war it has fought since September 1945?
Time runs out on most everything in political life, and the republic of the United States, like all other nations in history, has a date with destiny for either survival from extreme peril of destruction. The current war in Iran, together with all our other lost wars since 1945, must be deemed to be auguries of an approaching final disaster. There is, sad to say, not much more that Americans can do to disgrace themselves as the inept, cavalier, often corrupt, and seemingly deaf inheritors of the now nearly demolished gift which was handed to them by the republic’s Founding Fathers. The idea of engaging in any of the wars America has fought and lost since Truman consulted only himself and sent the U.S. military to war in Korea off his own hook, and also officially recognized the Israeli state in return for Jewish-American money that allowed him to barely win the 1948 presidential election is a madness that underscores the massive decline of republican government in the United States. There is today no avoiding the fact that anyone with a basic education ought to be able to see the clear accumulation of unquestionable evidence that today’s Americans are treated far worse and deprived of more of their rights than were the Founders and their countrymen by George III, his ministers, the British army and navy, and the Parliament. Of all of the anti-Republican and anti-constitutional actions to which Americans have been subjected by since 1948, the transformation of status of the U.S. president into a War Lord has been the one that poses the most fatal potential for the survival of the United States and the completion of the journey toward slavery for its inhabitants, lies in the present seemingly insurmountable problem of how to erase forever chances of having more War Lords as Presidents. The process toward War Lords began with James Polk and later Abraham Lincoln (maybe the worst of all), and then gained ground under Woodrow Wilson. With a break of several decades, the ground work for what now seems to be a permanent series of warlords was started domestically and in foreign policy by Franklin Roosevelt, who played a false game of claiming to dealing honestly with Congress and the American people, while he simultaneously and successfully applied his unlimited ability to lie, cheat, deceive, persecute his political and other domestic foes with such government agents in the FBI, the War Department, his cabinet members, and the British intelligence service (Mi6), and may have even helped assure Japan’s success at Pearl Harbor. Truman proved a worthy War Lord to succeed FDR, and every president after the Missourian – save for Dwight Eisenhower and Gerald Ford – has followed the War-Lord trail. It is worth saying that Trump is responsible for the Iran mess, but that he also is working with a Congress, a national security bureaucracy, and a War Department that surely appears comfortable with a War Lord, for them to respond to his ideas with a “Yes, my genius leader”, just as all presidential war lords have been responded to since Lincoln.
Can this potential death-to-the-republic problem be ended by American voters? The answer is certainly yes, but first they must recognize the problem, their role in it, and the increasingly deadly threat it poses to the existence of their republic and, consequently, to their own lives and those of the ones they love. Needless to say, the ability of Americans to end the parade of War Lords under which they, their republic, and their economy have suffered first requires some re-education. Reading, remembering, and mulling over the following quotations by several of the Founding Fathers is a small but important step toward forcing an end to presidential War Lords and the one-man shows leading the republic o end of long road that promises only its demise. Please note especially the words below from Alexander Hamilton, who is often said to be the most war-loving of the Founders. We should be so lucky to have him crafting foreign policy today.

- George Washington: “The Constitution vests the power of declaring war in Congress; therefore, no offensive expedition of importance can be undertaken until after they shall have deliberated upon the subject and authorized such a measure.” (1793.)
- James Wilson: (framer and ratifier of the Constitution): “This system will not hurry us into war; it is calculated to guard against it. It will not be in the power of a single man, or a single body of men, to involve us in such distress; for the important power of declaring war is vested in the legislature at large
- Alexander Hamilton: ‘The Congress shall have the power to declare war’; the plain meaning of which is, that it is the peculiar and exclusive duty of Congress, when the nation is at peace, to change that state into a state of war.”
- James Madison: “…The power to declare war, including the power of judging the causes of war, is fully and exclusively vested in the legislature … the executive has no right, in any case, to decide the question, whether there is or is not cause for declaring war.”
- James Wilson: (framer/ratifier of the Constitution): “This system will not hurry us into war; it is calculated to guard against it. It will not be in the power of a single man, or a single body of men, to involve us in such distress; for the important power of declaring war is vested in the legislature at large. …”
