Maduro gone … Now what? … Back on the interventionist road in Venezuela and elsewhere?

Well, one shoe has dropped in Venezuela, and the military personnel who conducted the operation executed a job that was very well done. In this evolving story, though, we still have a number of throw backs to the dangers that hide in any act of American interventionism. The first we are already hearing about; namely, who is going to rule in Caracas? A new regime did not succeed the other there in any comprehensive and reliable sense, and there are no Americans who have enough knowledge of the region to help make a new government work and, in any event, one must doubt whether the Venezuelans will be content with a successor regime that carries a made-by-USA trademark. And as our two guests tonight – Brandon Waechter and Luis Quinonez – said the politicians that likely will form the new government are in many ways more politically ideological, on the socialist/communist side, than were their predecessors.

We also have learned that we are now engaged not only in anti-narcotics struggle, but in a battle to control Venezuela’s vast oil resources, but first Americans have to pay for the compete rebuilding of the country’s oil-harvesting infrastructure. Last Friday’s well-staged meeting with the leading U.S. oil executives and President Trump seemed to have left the Venezuelans to watch American businessman restore the country’s oil sector. Finding smiling U.S. oil executives at a meeting with the President of the day always makes me reach for my wallet and try to hide it from the administration’s next step, which in our history is always tax breaks, incentive payments, and most any other method that can be constructed to make sure the taxpayers – especially folks cooking breakfast at the Waffle house of pouring coffee at Dunkin’ – pay the freight for the oil industry’s eager willingness to “help America”. Maybe Trump et. al. can design a program where Big Oil can step into the same ring with those other lovers of the working man and woman, Big Pharma, Israel, NATO. and the U.S. Arms industry,

–The whole Venezuela drama, perhaps helpfully, raises the question how to deal with those leaders who the president-of-the-day defines as lethal threats to U.S. national security. While the U.S. military is reported to have suffered no deaths in the Venezuela operations, that is a rare, almost unheard of event in scarlet-hued history of American interventionism – the key adjectives for which are bloody, costly, and failed. If a new pro-U.S. Venezuelan regime, and acceptable democratic government – even if the latter is a clear farce – does not fall magically in place, the odds are that Trump’s government will not walk away from its predictable failure, but will redouble efforts to succeed, if only because the Republicans in the Congress and Senate are pro-war, come rain or come shine. The same goes for the Democrats, but their motivation is less war- love, than it is a chance to fake being patriots and to set the stage for industrial-level thieving from a ridiculously bloated war-time defense budget. If a Venezuela war comes, the American military’s blood will flow, whatever is left of the treasury will be drained, taxes will go up, as will back-door monetary support for Israel, and civil liberties will be further constricted. Although Americans are urged by a variety of sources to stay loyal to the “plan” the plan sketched above is the plan that has been best loved since 1945. It has never delivered peace and democracy, it only delivers death, a new herd of incompetent Flag Officers, and another step toward what is looks like the approaching demise of the republic.

Finally, a few  more words on an issue that has bedeviled me since I went to work with for CIA in 1982 and entered into a government-wide culture that is comfortable at following presidential orders and support unconstitutional and unnecessary interventionist wars that are always lost and only succeed in expending the lives of America’s sons and daughters, wasting vast economic resources, and killing much of the population of the country picked for military intervention, most often because U.S. leaders dislike the leader of the country designated for attack.

Now, the business of war is killing; most simply put by the magnificent Confederate Cavalry Major General Nathan Bedford Forrest, who said “war means fighting and fighting means killing.” Now, Forrest’s statement is factual, clear, and irrefutable. But over my CIA career and since, I have seen – in every interventionist war – of which there have been a ton — that the enemy of America always seem to be defined not as a country or a group, but as an individual leader: Saddam, Mullah Omar, Gadhafi, Osama bin Laden, Noriega, Putin, Zi, Castro, the Ortega brothers, and multiple Ayatollahs for starters. Once U.S. leaders begin to speak of going to war against an enemy who is a person and not a country, the gates of hell blow wide open. Whenever a country is unfortunate enough to have its leader designated by a U.S. administration as a dire threat to U.S. national security, you can bet on three-sure things: (1.) the country of the leader is going to suffer massive human casualties and thoroughly ravaged infrastructure, (2.) the U.S. military will suffer heavy casualties among its troops, there will be the dead, the wounded, the maimed, and the mentally harmed. Likewise, the economic expense of the war will be grotesque, as will the level of payoffs quietly conveyed to the members of Congress from the arms makers, and (3.) there will be no democratic political system in the country that got smashed to pieces because of U.S. and western dislike of its leader.

Finally, a question about the above. Why have the reputedly mature and well-educated men and women who have been elected to the presidency and Congress since 1945 fought so many unnecessary and counterproductive interventionist wars since? Well, the answer is mainly because American politicians in both parties love to wage war, but are unwilling to offend what they falsely describe as the world’s common values, which are really only the values of the far left, fascists, and globalists. The American president, government, military, and intelligence community are hobbled by an utterly mad and cowardly “respect” for international norms which have no contact point with commonsense. The only norms that America and Americans are bound to respect are those norms and commonsense that are grounded in America’s experience and traditions. Those norms include in the sector of war, refusing to get involved in other people’s wars, refusing to go to war based on sympathy for another country or for reasons that are easily understood as ill-thought-through efforts to improve the U.S. economy; the eternally smart ignoring rhetoric that defames the United States and go about the nation’s business; never elect politicians who speak positively of the glories of the post-1945 international community, the essential role played by the UN; and the absolute necessity of half-assed alliances like the NATO Treaty, all of which have been used to force the U.S. to go to war for a depraved and authoritarian Western Europe without the approval of Congress; lastly to never deal with any Globalists; these are people upon which intelligence communities should be targeted to destroy as aggressively and quickly as possible

If America can get the heads of its political leaders screwed on correctly in terms of acting internationally only if the there is a genuine threat to the U.S., of which there have been none since the end of the Cold War, save for that of China  — which was only possible because of the willingness of America’s industrialists to abandon the United States for the Orient, and  a braindead Congress and multiple presidents that allowed China to become a member of the World Trade Association – and Russia, which is a notable threat today because of the Biden administration’s widespread traitorousness that got the republic neck-deep in an war between Russia and Ukraine, which has never been a serious national threat to America until until Democrats, Republicans, State Department officials, intelligence officers, military leaders, and politicians found that they could make fortunes off the blood of others, and displayed their lust for lucre by stealing a good deal of the money wasted on Zelensky’s criminal government and convincing many terminally stupid Americans that Ukraine was worth anything more than a bucket of spit.

Interventionism is among the deadliest threats to the survival of the American republic. The trail back toward the nirvana of General Washington’s idea of America First lies in abandoning the dufus idea that single individual leaders of Third World rat holes are a credible threat to the survival and liberty of the United States and its people. When such made-for-war-lovers foreign leaders appear on the international scene, and if we have a presidential administration that believes the threat he or she poses is serious, we must send a team of Marine snipers to infiltrate the country and kill the bastard. In so doing, a lot of shit-bird leaders from foreign governments will moan and cry, NGOs will weep and damn the president, and America-hating European governments and the Vatican will announce their hate for American nationalism. All of that is just noise and even amusing as many of these countries cannot defend themselves or survive economically without the United States. For Americans who would join or agree with these weeping critics, I would simply ask is the life of a Saddam, a Mullah Omar, or an Osama Bin Laden anywhere near worth the life of one U.S. Marine, soldier, aviator, or sailor – especially if he was your child — let alone the 10,000 American military personnel killed going after Saddam in Iraq and Mullah Omar and Bin Laden in Afghanistan? The answer cannot be anything but no. And you can take it from me, there is no world leader that can prevent an American sniping team from success. We could, for example, have killed or captured Bin Laden almost any time after the spring of 1997. Why didn’t we? Because CIA leaders, American presidents, and other political leaders either feared the world media damning them if they succeeded or failed, and so never let its intelligence or military forces to give it a go. When thinking about this, doesn’t almost seem that there must have been another reason that Bin Laden’s life was spared just long enough to allow the 9/11 raids to be planned and executed and thereby make him expendable?

–Under Trump’s order, the U.S. military captured Venezuelan President Maduro and his wife and brought them to the United States to face the music. Several U.S. military personnel were wounded and a helicopter was beat up, but all personnel involved and the helicopter were recovered. The story now is that Maduro may also be a key to finally bringing closure to the rigged elections America has suffered through since at least 1920. Maduro’s lieutenants are reported to be in charge of producing the vote-counting machines that have been used for fixing U.S. elections, and that operation would never be conducted without the full knowledge of Venezuela’s President. How credible a witness Maduro would be against the legion of Democrats and NGOs who ran the fixed voting is hard to know, but if Trump and his crew actually have the proof of the fixing-crimes they claim to hold, Maduro’ presence in the United States, and the knowledge held in his head, may prompt some of those vote-fixing Democratic Chieftains to seek plea deals at an early date, and thereby get some of the better prison cells, if they are not already taken by their Somali employers. For myself, the topping on this cake would be to find that Israel and or its serving or retired Unit 8200 cyber-specialists have some hand in the crime of election-fixing, which for a foreign country should be regarded as an act of war.

Trump stands today as man who has taken a chance on mucking up his political future career, and who still faces many Republicans and Democrats that would like to see him roasting in hell. But he prevailed in Venezuela in defending America as he said he would and, so far, U.S. actions in that country have not led to another feckless interventionist effort to build a democracy there. Trump has faced a good deal of media criticism over Venezuela for several months – as well as a goodly amount from this space – but today he looks like aces and surely is America is better off.

But the issue of U.S. relations with the Southern Hemisphere is still full of problems. The morons who cannot see that the UN, international law, and Globalism have done nothing but bring on wars since 1945 should go suck eggs. 80-plus years after the UN’s founding it has proven itself capable of only mass rape by its forces, severe anti-Americanism, extortion by its officers, and playing a key role in Covid, which killed 30 Million people around the world. But these morons still hold power in many places, even though they are not worth a tinker’s damn in the contemporary world. Indeed, they are capable only of deciding on their next lethal scam. Likewise, the three institutions have proven eternally feckless in stopping war, while being eternally eager to destroy Western democracy and constitutionalism wherever they are found.

All this said, America is still faced with the severe constitutional problem of having presidents who go to war without the approval – by a recorded and televised vote – of the Congress. Most Americans could not give a good-god-damn about either international law or its experts, which invariably, in the post-1945 era, have worked with a passion to tear down the West. Given this record, very few Americans are much worried about the what international lawyers, judges, the UN and their shrill complaints about Trump’s successful effort to seal the border and gun-down every drug-runner he can find and sink their ships and kill their sailors, whether on the boats or in in the water. What Americans care about is their kids, their jobs, their homes, their liberties their republic, and their Constitution. And, on the latter point, lies the country’s stark and dangerous-to-liberty dilemma.

The U.S. Constitution unequivocally demands U.S. presidents secure the majority approval of Congress before going to war. Trump and all presidents since 1945 have gotten a grade of “F” on this score. And all of the post-1945 wars fought without a congressional declaration of war have had a negative on impact on every aspect of life most treasured by Americans, especially the waste of their kids’ lives and the reduction of civil liberties that every post-1945 war has produced. Presidential wars are War-Lord wars, not the wars of a constitutional democracy. America has been lucky so far to have survived eight-decades of deliberate trampling of the Constitution. But luck never, ever, lasts forever. Trump is slowly digging America out of the Democratic made economic abyss, but if he comes away from the Maduro operation with enthusiasm for more and larger military interventions, he may well finally finish off the American republic.

When you stop to think about it, America, since 1917, have been plagued by presidents who won election by promising to keep the republic out of wars. Indeed, Trump is far from being the worst of the lot. In 1916, for example, President Woodrow Wilson won reelection largely on the basis of the campaign slogan “He kept us out of war!”.  Wilson and the daft Congressional majority went to war against a German nation that posed precisely zero threat to the United States and its people. The claim of a great threat to American citizens by German submarines, was actually made somewhat true due to Wilson’s mad assertion that U.S. citizens have the historical and legal rights to travel on any ship they decided to take even if the chosen ship belonged to an enemy of Germany, whether it was British, French, Italian, or any other ship owned by a member or dependent of the anti-German alliance. Had Wilson possessed even a semblance of commonsense, and he had ignored his war-eager Secretary of State Robert Lansing, he would have known that it was absurd to expect Germany and its allies to refuse to attack the enemy’s ships – many of which carried guns, explosives, and ammunition, including large ocean-liners – simply because U.S. citizens booked passage on such a ship. Ever the fool, Wilson could have ended the issue on which his declaration of war was based by refusing passports to any American planning to cross the Atlantic on a ship owned by Britain or its allies. He refused to do so and war came. Also idiotic was the claim by Wilson, his domestic political allies, and the leaders of the Allied governments, delivered via their endless bleating about the severe threat of Germany becoming the world’s dominant power. It seems likely that Wilson, and later President Franklin Roosevelt, did not know how to read a map. They both needed an honest aide capable of reading a map for them, and one who also possessed some knowledge about Germany’s population numbers and outlook. With such data, Wilson and Roosevelt would have known that odds against Germany becoming the dominant world power in either era were simply insurmountable.

Enter every U.S. president since Roosevelt – save, for the most part, Ronald Reagan – each of whom found life-and-death threats to the United States from any number of rat-trap countries that ultimately defeated the U.S. forces sent to smash them for what was always an imaginary and much over-hyped threat.

Sadly, President Trump is becoming a past-master at finding enemies that are hopeless non-entities or ones who don’t merit being given the time of day. Most recently, Trump sent U.S. airpower to cooperate with the Nigerian government in attacking a village said to be the home to Islamist fighters who are randomly killing Christian Nigerians. Had the president been able to call on an adviser who knew anything at all about fighting Islamists — and especially why the U.S. always losses to them — Trump may have made the right decision, which was to drop the idea of even a limited U.S. intervention in Nigeria because he had been informed that such a military raid would, in sum, increase support and enthusiasm for Islamists across Africa and from old-reliable supporters throughout the Arab world.

In short, Trump would have been forced to conclude that while it’s too bad that Christians are getting killed, even a significant deployment of U.S. forces to Nigeria would have gained nothing but a good start for the U.S. forces – the traditional brief results for all U.S. overseas interventions bound for defeat – which would quickly lapse into the slow but steady bloodletting that always accompanies the now familiar outcomes of U.S. interventions; namely, the lack of U.S. military progress, rising casualties on all sides, including Christians, the U.S. force, and the Nigerian military and civilians, Islamist fighters arriving from elsewhere in Africa, and likely from abroad, a shot in the arm to Islamism across the world, and then, naturally, the traitorous anvil  chorus of Neocon demands for the deployment of larger U.S. forces. Some smart foreign policy move, don’t you think?

Elsewhere in the world, this week’s guest Brandon Reichert – a well-known author on U.S. foreign policy and the host of his own and excellent weekly U.S. national-security programs on the America Out Loud Network and on Rumble – remarked that it appears that President Trump seems to be unaware that the Americans who voted for him have little or no interest in seeing him waste his time, prestige, taxpayer-money, and the U.S. military trying to end wars elsewhere in the world. Wars are a normal, if regrettable, part, of international life and involving the United States in other peoples’ fights has seldom if ever benefited the American interventionists. American voters want no unnecessary wars that involve their country, their children, and the waste of their taxes in waging wars for countries that are at base U.S. enemies, like war-loving Israel and the members of NATO and the EU. Not one in 100 Americans, moreover, gives a good damn about their president receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, an award made a sad joke forever by giving it to the now jail-bound Barack Obama.

Far more important, in the American Mind, is President’s Trump efforts to drain the United States of illegal aliens – which now seems to be going well – but Mr. Weichert noted that every success on that front always seems to countered by the vast increase in foreigners in America that is caused by the administration’s other actions. Trump’s welcoming of 600,000 Chinese students into the United States, placed an enormous Chinese intelligence-collection organization able to roam the continent freely and steal U.S. intellectual property, with an easy escape route for them through Canada where the Liberal Government is nothing more than Beijing’s lapdog. The Trump Administration also seem to have agreed with Trump’s billionaire tech cronies to put a priority on accepting large numbers of young foreign tech-workers to remedy the cronies’ claims that they face a disastrous shortage of talented tech workers. Instead of telling his cronies to bugger-off and set up tech training schools in numbers that will fill their needs with American workers trained at their own expense – that’s the capitalist way of doing things — the Trump’s regime’s support has bowed to the demands and dumped the expense on the U.S. taxpayers and domestic job-seekers. You know, if the mass of foreign tech workers that the Tech Czars’ demand – one total mentioned is 500,000 – is realized, the administration will have created, with the Chinese students, a standing force of 1.1. million new foreigners in America, a total that approximates the current strength of the U.S. Military. Amazing

U.S. sabers are still rattling, three more U.S. military personnel are dead, and the politicians of the Democratic Party, their Rino allies, and the traitorous federal bureaucracy are still walking free, with no apparent concerns that their well-known crimes will be punished with the severity, and perhaps the finality, they merit. Also, this week all of our military personnel were all rewarded with a check for $1776, which might well have been directed at our murderous debt or to working men and women who struggle to put three squares on the table each day. It seems almost counterintuitive to reward our military after its failure to win a single war since 1945, and when its current flag officer corps seems to be more political shills than military leaders. Those men and women also seem not to object to the continued use of the Cold War practice of trip wires, which produced this week’s three dead in Syria, and so created a “sacred duty” for the president to order a sound aerial thrashing for ISIS – which you will recall Trump said he had destroyed during his first term. The “trip wire” now deployed in Syria is meant to do only three things: (a) to allow the geographical expansion of Israel; (b) to secure an airfield for the U.S. military so it can waste more billions of our money defending Israel; and (c) to please the Israeli shill and Palestinian-hating ambassador Trump sent to betray U.S. interests in favor of Israel.

This week also failed to display any progress in fully identifying and prosecuting those who made the Covid vaccines as mass murderers and arresting them until they can be tried, convicted, and executed. The vaccines, the Congress has been told by noted medical authorities on the issue, have killed three million Americans and a total of 30 million worldwide. In other words, the major American pharmaceutical companies and the overseas peers deliberately murdered five times as many innocents as did Herr Hitler. Indeed, Big Pharma’s leaders have made the Nazis look like pretty small beer in the mass-murder category. Quite a record of achievement, and yet not one of these gangsters have been arrested when they arrived at the White House to be wined and dined.

The removal of illegal aliens from the United States continues to roll along, which is a great development. But, again, a country whose leaders never stop proclaiming that America is “a country governed by “the rule of law” and that no one in the republic is “above the law” have done nothing to punish those who planned and executed this gigantic international holocaust. Well, those two endlessly repeated phrases are clearly no longer accurate. Where is the federal task force that is prosecuting Secretary Mayorkas (AKA: Israeli shill), the Red Cross, various Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish charities, and the untold number of NGOs that eagerly took money from Biden’s regime to help get hundreds of thousands of foreign children smuggled into the United States and then – for a price paid by American taxpayers – willingly distributed them to pedophiles, pornographers, and sordid assortment of U.S. companies eager to acquire slave laborers. Catholic participation seems especially egregious on this issue, and probably will continue to be so as long as the Vatican retains as its guiding light the words, ideas and changes of its last two America-hating, South-American-Communist-tainted Popes. Both men, of course, were approvingly supported by the Globalists as they attacked the United States and intentionally caused many of the Catholic faithful to be doubtful about respecting the faith’s traditions and to applaud attacks on their own country by the Popes and their ant-American and anti-God henchmen. Pope Leo XIV now has nearly forty video channels that make it look like he is making Church as uncatholic as possible and that seem to be aimed at confusing Catholics, raising questions about their faith, and generally speaking as if he is attempting to remake the Catholic Church in the image of the World Economic Forum and the New World Order. I have found no way of securing data about who runs those forty video propaganda channels, but I can say I have found no evidence that Pope Leo and the Vatican have taken any measures to close them down for deliberately publishing false stories about his intentions to savagely redo the Church. They say silence connotes approval, so we ought not to be too surprised to learn one morning that Cardinal Clause Schwab and Cardinal George Soros have taken up quarters in the Vatican.

When you look at U.S. foreign policy over the last quarter-century in any part of the world, you have to come away in a state of awe. It seems quite likely that no country has ever fielded a diplomatic corps that so inevitably causes disasters for the United States wherever it goes and in whatever it plans. The present ensemble of failure at the Department of State is headed by Marc Rubio, a man who looks fine and speaks well, but at heart is a war lover, a Cuba hater, and Israel sycophant and seems to be supported by civil servants, diplomats, and ambassadors who share those qualities, while posing – with Rubio – as being the equal of such truly great and war-limiting American diplomats as Benjamin Franklin, John Quincy Adams, General George Marshall and the truly great George Frost Kennan. Sadly, our current crop of diplomats is largely ignorant that there job is to serve U.S. interests and prevent us getting involved in somebody else’s wars, treaties that usually fleece the pockets of U.S. taxpayers, or treaties – like NATO – that surrender U.S. sovereignty and makes our military the protectors of what is now a European continent that is ruled by patently stupid totalitarians, men and women who are good only at annihilating their native-born, white, and Christian populations and replacing them with the Third World’s vast assembly of uneducated, non-Christian, war-loving, and utterly criminal detritus.

Part of President Trump’s problem is that American-style diplomats are inevitably ass-kissing frauds who have acquired talents involving the acquisition of socialist outlooks, high salaries, gaudy posts abroad, and a supreme talent of lying to or about their superiors and the president. [Doubters of this sought to watch a few episodes of a television series called “The Diplomat”. Look for a moment at the clown who now represents the republic in the country that now controls the United States, namely Israel. U.S. Ambassador Huckabee behaves and speaks as though the United States pays him to support anything that that cur Netanyahu wants to so, as well as to ensure that every last Palestinian is murdered. It seems that Huckabee must have been trained by Susie Wiles. Does Trump really approve this kind of thing, or is he helpless to stop the anti-American content and conduct of the U.S. State Department. One also must wonder why American diplomats in Europe have been silent as the EU’s untalented and doped-up leaders are systematically installing authoritarianism in Europe, as well as bringing in hordes of military-age Muslim men, who the EU encourages to be patient until war comes, and in the meantime, amuse themselves with regularly raping young girls and women, and killing them if they complain. The work and words of American diplomats always stress their determination to promote “American values” overseas, which is a lie. They cannot speak accurately of American values because they are products of high-cost universities that have taught them to behave and speak as do Democrats, people whose only values are money, war, crime, atheism, election-rigging, cartel coddling, mass abortion, and America hating.

Our guest this week, the fine author Brandon J. Weichert, who has his own National Security Hour Program on America Out Loud, noted that Trump’s on-again, off-again intention to go to war with Venezuela holds out the clear possibility of yet another U.S.-started war for democracy, disguised as a part of the long-failed war on drugs. Indeed, the only success in the war with drugs appears to be the cartels ability to corrupt politicians at the federal, state, and local levels, as well members of the bureaucracies and police who serve those elected criminals. This on-and-off march to war also covers up the fact that The Trump Administration – probably with Secretary of State Rubio in the lead – rejected a deal with Venezuela that would have given America wins on the issues of narcotics, the return of illegal aliens and gang members to Venezuela, and access to Venezuela’s resources of rare earth metals. Most recently, we have had President Trump and his military lieutenants publicly suggesting that the United States may have to go to war in Nigeria to end the slaughter of Christians in that country, and, accidentally of course, gain access to the country’s rare-earth minerals. This is pretty close to the last word in madness. What do our leaders think such an attack and/or prolonged military presence in Nigeria would produce? Let me suggest that such a U.S. military attack and presence, would (a.) produce an immediate up-tick in the pace of Christian slaughtering; (b.) prompt the Democratic leadership in the United States – which is completely and viciously anti-Christian to the core – to identify such an attack as an example of the Trump crew’s eagerness to kill Blacks wherever they can be found, and thereby give the Democrats a basis on which to reclaim some of the Black voters who went with the Republicans in 2024, and (c.) the foolish reality that Americans have long forgotten the hard fact that Bin Laden’s war against the United States and the West did not end with his death. African and Arab Islamists, for example, have over the past decade defeated France in Central Africa and caused it to abandon some longstanding territorial and political control there. Today, Al-Qaeda and al-Qaeda-like organizations are spread all over Africa from Morocco to the Cape of Good hope. An American military intervention in Nigeria would be seen as a clear blessing from Allah for the Arab and African Islamist fighters who reside on the continent to press forward Osama’s war at an increased pace. Such an intervention would also increase the number of Islamist fighters from around the world who would jump at the chance to come to Africa and help whip the American military again.

Finally, my podcasting partner, Colonel Mike, pointed out that it does not seem that Trump has anyone on his staff responsible for keeping him from unnecessarily making embarrassing mistakes. It seems no one in the White House thought to mention that the day Trump chose to meet Syria’s terrorist president – 10 November 2025 – is the 250^th Anniversary of the creation of the United States Marine Corps. So, it appears, that Trump spent a good deal of time on November 10^th meeting a well-dressed Islamist fighter/terrorist/president of Syria, rather traveling to meet with Marines and their officers at one of their facilities. It is true that the President, via social media, did make a short and rather lame statement honoring the Corps, but that seems like a pretty bush league action. Syria is of no national-security interest to the United States, unless Trump’s Administration wants to build a military airfield there, and so give even more help to perfidious Israel. As always for U.S. presidents, striking a blow as an Israel Firster must take precedence over all other tasks, even the essential one of adequately honoring the 250^th birthday of the United States Marine Corps, which is the most potent, victorious, loyal, and honorable military organization America has, and perhaps that the world has ever seen.

There have times in America’s history when the serving president could not find his butt with both hands. It strikes me that the Johnson, Bush 1, Clinton, Bush 2, Obama, and Biden governments all fall into that category; namely they were composed of flailing socialists, globalists, America haters, an Israel-suborned Congress, and war mongers. I like to think that Trump’s three successful election campaigns – each of which his foes attempted to cheat him out of winning — were a sure sign that Americans recognize that they had for too long acquiesced to the above-mentioned march toward hell, and now were eager to try and halt and then reverse republic-killing process of authoritarian, centralized, and war-loving government.

Trump’s third electoral victory seemed to promise an acceleration of that process, but, nearing a year from election day, the Trump administration appears eager to find or create wars around the earth. Almost from inauguration day, we have been waging war economically – with tariffs – or with old fashion powder and shot. I thought the renaming of the Department of Defense as the Department of War – which the Founding generation named it – was a grand idea. The change was more than just playing with words; it was a move back toward adulthood in American thinking on foreign and military policy. In this day of nuclear weapons and other such of weaponry, it is simple for the federal government and the constantly fear-spreading media to convince the populous that military action is necessary to defend ourselves from a perceived “threat”, one that far too often exists only in the head of the mad-hatters who govern the republic and its foreign policy.

The government and media regularly push the idea that there are to threats the republic everywhere, rather than depending on the facts that are embodied in a genuine attack, irrefutable intelligence of coming attack, or a declaration of war by a well-known foe. It is easy for the president, his cabinet, and senior bureaucrats to use threat-lies to exact support for unconstitutional presidential wars from the population. After all, since 1945 Americans have been trained from grammar school through retirement to be always frightened to death of a wide variety of often imaginary foreign bogeymen. Through their lives Americans also have been educated and led by abject liars, leftist ideologues, card-carrying political traitors, and pro-Israeli propagandists in their schools, all of whom benefited from keeping Americans scared.

When the Department of Defense was named the War Department, the military was a tool for fighting necessary wars, was seldom seen or heard from by the public, was not astronomically expensive, and won all the constitutional wars it fought, even Lincoln’s utterly unnecessary and Constitution-ruining war against the Confederacy’s clear right to secede.

Today, The United States has not won a war since September 1945. Arguably it has not fought a single war since then that even came near to defeating an enemy threatening American liberty. Over those years. our military has shown itself capable only of beating the mighty power of Grenada’s armed forces, invading Panama to catch and jail its dictator, and spending 20 years losing a war in Afghanistan. Our political and military leaders have likewise been addicted to the madness of binding America to lethal allies armed with begging-bowls like the anti-liberty dictators that govern NATO and the EU, and those of the tiny and intensely anti-American sandbox-state called Israel. Not surprisingly, the biggest threats to American national security come directly from those two entities and the U.S. political, media dolts, and preachers who support them. The anti-freedom European leaders, backed by U.S. Neocons, Biden’s regime, and rogue U.S. intelligence chiefs have given Americans a war of zero U.S. national security interest in Ukraine, but one that does mindlessly increase the chance of nuclear war. In addition, the Muslim-and-Christian hating Israeli regime, has gifted America with 50 years of war in the Middle East. When allies like these speak or act, a death knell sounds for the United States, as the president of the day and his advisers are always ready to follow their lead without question and to open U.S. bank vaults to their unquenchable avarice.

President Trump was elected because he pledged to end all the unconstitutional and unnecessary wars that we are now fighting or that are reported to be on the horizon, Venezuela for example. Trump has been more than a trifle disappointing on this score. Soon after the inauguration he launched a worldwide tariff war which — while it clearly is raising funds for the Treasury – has made business planning more difficult and uncertain, and has raised many auguries of a deep, near-term recession. There is a least chance that these tariffs will have the same impact as did Hoover’s tariffs, which surely deepened the Great Depression, markedly slowed the New Deal’s already slim progress, and moved Franklin Roosevelt to seek war with both Japan and Germany to increase economic activity and thereby keep open his chance to serve more presidential terms.

Most of first year of Trump’s term has been conducted to an overture of rattling sabers and the accompanying commitment of U.S. money, troops, and weaponry to wars of European-and Israeli-making. Venezuela, of course, is a disaster of Trump’s own making. If he and his administration want to pound hell out of the drug cartels in Venezuela, Mexico, or elsewhere, let them. But only to leave behind smoldering wreckage and heaps of bodies so as to remind whatever remains of their gangster-leaders and their supporters not to sin again. But no, Trump seems drunk, as have been almost all other post-1945 presidents, on the idea of being “The Leader of the Free World”, and appears ready to incur an enormously expensive militarized foreign policy that could leave the United States, down the road, without a pot to piss in

It is already clear that a war in Venezuela will be framed as an effort to slow the entry of narcotics into the United States, but it also is sure to turn into yet another enormously costly and certain-to-fail campaign to democratize a foreign country, thereby wasting billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars and sacrifice the lives and limbs U.S. military personnel. And, as if this utter stupidity is not enough, Trump has diddled with the idea of sending Tomahawk Cruise Missiles to NATO for use in the Globalists/Neocons long-ago-lost war in Ukraine. Such an action, if the missiles are used to hit targets inside Russia, might well bring on –at least — a NATO-Russia War, which at a minimum would see Russia to obliterate much of Europe.

Perhaps Trump will yet be driven into reality, but only if he stops and listens for a moment and clearly sees that within days of his so-called “stupendous” peacemaking episode between Israel Gaza, and the Arabs, Netanyahu and his war-loving associates have already caused the death of more Palestinians and have bombed Damascus. Even Hitler had the courtesy to give Neville Chamberlain a bit of time to preen over what that foolish British prime minister claimed to be the document signed by him and Der Fuhrer had signed was a guarantee of “Peace for our time”, before sending the Wehrmacht to finish off Czechoslovakia and then proceeded to wage a European and then a World War.

One final comment is worth making. Americans and their government have long forgotten the genuine threat still posed to the United States by Islamist fighters, men who grew up under the rulings of the Koran and the Salafist tutelage of Osama Bin Laden, his lieutenants, and other Islamist leaders. We already have lost two wars against them – in Afghanistan and Iraq – and they also refuse to beaten in such places as Somalia. As always, the ignorance of the world and lack of commonsense of the fools who run U.S. foreign policy concluded that by killing Bin Laden they killed the anti-American/anti-tyrant/anti-Israeli movement he had consolidated, taught, led, and left a legacy of powerful words. This pipe-dream is far from correct and those who believe it are notably unfit for any post even remotely touching on U.S. foreign policy.

We also should all recall that Bin Laden’s leadership and communications-skill struck long-lasting chords in all parts of the Sunni Islamic world, a world that includes not just the Arab countries but also Asia, Africa, Europe, China, Russia, the United States and South America as well. Why? Well surely because of Bin Laden’s personality, preaching ability, political savvy, organizational abilities, patience, combat experience as an Islamist guerrilla fighting Soviets in Afghanistan, and his obvious knowledge and understanding of Muslim scripture.

Of equal importance, was Bin Laden’s incisive, even brilliant, grasp of an enduring geopolitical reality, the use of which created a good measure of Muslim unity and motivated Sunnis to take up arms against those he rightly identified as Islam’s irrefutable enemies. Bin Laden focused on the United States – saying not a word about its lifestyle absurdities, cultural idiocies, and sexual depravity – and focused on the role it had chosen to play in the Islamic world. Post-1945 America, he correctly said, had chosen to reliably provide indispensable support to tyrannies across the Middle East and in many other parts of the Muslim world. As readers well know that remains the blatant truth today. America, he again correctly noted, was the toy of Israel and that it would back, fund, and fight in any sort of war against Muslims or Muslim states that Israel chose to wage. Readers have just seen this reality reenacted in technicolor in the conclusion of Trump’s deal between the murderous Israelis, the war-and-Israel loving Europeans, a gaggle of Arab tyrannies. In this instance, the U.S. government has once again reinforced in the minds of those Muslims — and their sons, and grandsons — who bin Laden influenced and motivated with his actions and a legacy of well-remembered words, that the enemies of Islam – the United States, Europe, and the Arab tyrannies – are still on the march, and are ready to spread death and destruction among those Muslims – fighters and civilians — who choose to oppose them. All told, this unchanging U.S. foreign policy in the Muslim world is decidedly unwise and makes a mockery of the American sovereignty.

On the verge of undertaking military action against Venezuela last month, the Trump Administration was delayed by the reported failure of a U.S. Navy ship to get through the Panama Canal and into the Atlantic in time for the operation. As a result, the attack had to be delayed, but apparently not cancelled. The recent sinking of a cartel drug-boat in international waters is something the Navy should have been doing for the last 30 years. It is a self-defense action and not an act of war when done in international waters.

As has also been noted , Washington has turned down a very favorable deal with Venezuela on the oil purchases, access to rare-earth minerals, and, perhaps most important, significantly accelerating the eviction of Venezuelan illegals – including cartel criminals — from the United States.

There is, moreover, a feature of current U.S. plans for Venezuela that is always detrimental to the U.S. taxpayer, namely, an effort to establish a new democratic government in Caracas. U.S. representatives are in discussion with Venezuelan dissidents in an effort to identify individuals who would help to build such a regime. The country’s president – Nicholas Maduro – also has been offered a chance to leave the country without punishment, but with a gang of money to ensure ease and comfort for the rest of his life.

In America’s post-1945 history, this script has been used multiple times, to say the least. It has a record of never working out – in any way – and ending in enormous expenses, prolonged American involvement, and, far too often, combat involving our military services.

A troubling adjunct to the current episode is that Venezuela has successfully approached for help the largely irrelevant and often anti-U.S. Organization of American States (OAS). Sadly, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio took the bait and appears ready to support the involvement of the OAS in the search for so-called “peace and democracy” in Venezuela. Readers may recognize this process as identical to that which has been a standard U.S. practice for decades, and has seldom, if ever, succeeded. Often, such efforts have ended very badly for the United States, demonstrating that U.S. diplomats are chronically unable to recall that diplomatic successes are most often arranged through secret, bilateral, and backstage efforts, seldom by  public diplomacy, and never by international organizations. This U.S. mode of operation has been, since the era of Woodrow Wilson, a wretched failure.

None of the foregoing is meant to deride those who are simply following the orders of President Trump and his foreign-policy makers. This is an American-made script that has been used unsuccessfully in many areas of the world. Intended to remove political oppressors and install democracy peacefully, the policy seems not to understand that not all people are capable of establishing an enduring democracy, apparently not even Americans. Even those who have long been oppressed are, when liberated, faced with a choice between democracy or personal or group advantage, and as often as not, simply choose to become the new oppressors, thereby putting themselves in the driver’s seat and so  able to extract revenge and wealth from their predecessors. There must be a point where a much-honored but always disastrous U.S. foreign policy plan can be seen as such and rightly consigned to history’s ash heap.

Overall, a U.S. foreign policy, designed to build democracies or support countries that falsely claim to be democracies, has been an abject and century-long failure at home and abroad. Perhaps it would be more useful for the American people if their leaders sought to try to restore the crumbling U.S. democracy, remove to prison the foreign-paid U.S. politicians who have been systematically destroying it since the 1960s, and put end to the NATO alliance that now features multiple governments clearly intent on eliminating their native populations, turn their nations over to the violent dregs of the Third World’s population – to some extent copying U.S. governments in this regard — and seeking war with a superpower that could put the entire European community out of its intensifying, self-inflicted misery in short order.

Finally, we seem to be coming to the point where no one in power in Washington has any genuine concept of what the execution of an America First foreign policy means. To take the best example of this fact is Trump’s decision to allow 600,000 Chinese students to enter America to attend university. These are not today’s mediocre and often drugged-up U.S. university students. The Chinese students are individuals who have been indoctrinated with Communist theory and discipline since birth both at home and then in schools once their education began. They have also learned via television of the savage brutality China applies to those who do not behave according to the regime’s demands. These so-called students will do well in our universities because they have been well-trained in China’s expectations of them, and because not only they but their families are in danger if they fail to graduate and bring home with them a degree and as much intellectual property as possible. The Trump administration, by allowing this madness, is not just letting the camel stick his nose under the tent, it is permitting 600,000 of Beijing’s intelligence operatives into an already unstable republic.

While the new Pope conducts a bewildering “modernization” that claims science and faith are partners — as in the murderous Coved crime one wonders — the greater immediate danger to Americans is that their own president apparently is prepping for new wars, another attack on Iran and for a fight with Venezuela, perhaps also involving Colombia.

There clearly are few good guys in the governments of those countries. But Iran is solely Israel’s problem, and after letting China invade and for all practical purposes settle in Central and South America, Trump and his foreign policy amateurs seem to believe that they can undo the damage done by the U.S. government’s refusal to enforce the Monroe Doctrine for more than forty years by clearing the Southern Hemisphere of China and its economic and strategic successes. Fat chance. Even if the Trump administration were to succeed it will have conducted the new wars – as has every president since 1945 — unconstitutionally.

It has been reported that there had been a deal on the table between the U.S. and Venezuela for several weeks – before the U.S. backed out — which would have greatly increased the oil being sold to American purchasers, provided a very favorable deal to U.S. purchasers of rare-earth minerals, and included a deal that Venezuela would accept the increased the return of 2,500 of its illegal aliens per week, rather than the 200 that are now being accepted. The Trump Administration ditched this deal and now has U.S. Navy flotilla and 4,000 U.S. marines sailing to and fro in the Atlantic off South America’s coast. Why are they there? The most obvious answer seems to be that Blackrock Chief Larry Fink – never a more appropriate last name – and his robber-baron sidekicks at State Street and Vanguard are seeking to corner Venezuela’s oil production, as a complement to their so far successful campaign to buy hundreds of thousands of family homes in the United States to prevent young people for buying them and starting families, which is, of course. a tack high on the list of World Economic Fund (WEF) priorities for the its plan for population concentration controlled in 15-minute cities then and massive population reduction. It seems that Trump does not know – or is ignoring – the fact that that Fink is now the acting director of the WEF. How does man like Fink even get access to the president. Oh, yes, I forgot, money screams

Also apparently beyond the ken of Trump and his foreign-policy makers is that the United States already is more than adequately hated in the Southern Hemisphere, and may not need any more bad press and silly Gilbert-and-Sullivan-like imperialist military endeavors. The republic’s needs in that region are few, negate the Democrat-managed, illegal-alien invasion of America by sending them all home, and to begin to remove the Chinese invasion of the continent, which has created for Beijing a heavy political and economic presence and influence in the region, which would increase with the U.S.-made wars that seem likely. Getting China out of Panama is only a start, and probably the easiest part of the task.

Many Americans tend to think of South America’s military prowess as a cartoonish body of gaudily dressed dictators and generals. They are fooled by appearances and old movies. Guerilla warfare is not uncommon in the region. A U.S. attack on Venezuela, for example, probably would bring Colombia’s military to the aid of Caracas. Colombia, of course fought a long guerilla war against the talented insurgent/terrorist/narcotics organization called FARC and eventually prevailed. The territory of both Venezuela and Colombia lend themselves to guerrilla wars, and, as is well known from Afghanistan and Iraq, the U.S. military has not covered itself in glory when fighting guerilla wars. The administration also should not make the mistake it made in Yemen and Iran by assume that South America’s military and guerilla forces cannot adapt to and use modern and scientifically sophisticated weapons. Indeed, Nicaraguans are now working in Yemen to help improve their use of drone weapons, and Iran and Lebanese Hezbollah have long been present and active in Venezuela and Colombia.

As always, the bottom line for Americans since 1945 is that all our wars are ordered by a War Lord we refer to as the President. He and Congress defy the Constitution, start wars, and ultimately loses every time. The only sure things in all of the U.S. wars since 1945 – along with losing — are that the national debt will increase, civil liberties will be further contracted, military personnel will be killed and maimed, flag officers will demonstrate their manifest unworthiness to command, and additional proof that there is almost no shelter left for everyday Americans under the increasingly gutted Constitution.

There  are not many countries in the world that are facing the range of serious domestic and foreign policy problems the United States now confronts. In fact, there are so many obvious problems that most Americans probably have a favorite they would like to see settled immediately, if not sooner.

One of the problems seems, inexplicably, to be located at a very bottom of the republic’s to-do list. This issue, in my own view, requires an extensive, immediate, thorough, and, whenever necessary, brutal campaign of retribution against the thousands of individuals who were – and still are? — involved in conducting the deliberate worldwide mass-murder-by-Covid-vaccine operation. The intention, dimensions, and successes of the Covid operation have made the Nazi-perpetrated holocaust look like nothing more than a fender-bender for humanity.

But now, about 200 days into Trump’s term, we see no progress in rounding up the thousands of culpable American and European globalists, doctors, nurses, politicians, scientists, media personalities, academics, politicians, university medical schools, hospital directors, and Big Pharma companies, their leaders, culpable employees, and perhaps even major stockholders. Why is this? Are there more murders-by-vacine  than the many hundreds of thousands we already know of?

Trump has not done even the easiest part of the task and ordered a special effort be made to track down and arrest every member of the UN who played any role whatsoever in trying to deliberately kill as much of humanity as possible. He could twin that action with an order that all UN officials be questioned about the issue.

Indeed, the lack of action toward ridding the world of the enormous cadre of the Coved murders and operation and their always arrogant and lie-telling abettors is brightly underscored by the fact that the madman, Epstein sidekick, and murderer of tens of thousands of youngsters in India and Africa via his lethal vaccines, Bill Gates, is still at large and traveling the world. He continues to release mosquitos – and soon ticks that his scientists are developing? — into areas of the United States in untold numbers, a likely lethal action which no one in local or state governments, nor in the federal government has sought to end. Gates’ money is not talking at the moment, it is screaming.

There is no sane reason that why the second Trump administration has not accepted its clear responsibility for driving the Coved lie in its first, and its pivotal rile in Covid murders in the United States. Neither is there an excuse for Trump failing to send Special Forces’ teams to find, arrest, and incarcerate Gates, and then quickly persuade him to finger all those who have been working with him to foist his savage anti-human agenda on the world. After all, remembering the Jewish Holocaust is one thing, though, even on that point, Netanyahu’s eagerness to make all Israelis a testbed for more MRNA vaccines and man-made meat, as well as his government’s mass-murder of Palestinian civilians ought to spur questions about the degree to which Israel’s leaders remember the Holocaust for anything but political purposes and profit. Failing to address and avenge what happened with Covid, which has killed many times more than those killed in Hitler’s death camps, and will long continue to kill many more , is a crime of an entirely different magnitude in terms of deaths and the intent to eradicate the earth of most human beings.

Our republic, at this moment, needs to demand a campaign of judicial-retribution – including using the death penalty in every case where it is found applicable – that is capable of bringing a dead-halt to this numerically far larger and still ongoing Coved international holocaust, as well as to make each of its practitioners pay the most severe penalty the law allows. Such an action is far more important than any undertaken for any earlier deliberate, man-made mass-murder sprees. It screams out for immediate retributive legal actions, an intense public education about this need by the naming of suspected culprits, and a rapid initiation and then application of a broad, judicially valid, and utterly comprehensive solution, one requiring execution whenever it is found by law, evidence, and trial to be appropriate.

 There is now no way to avoid or deny the reality of the many decades-long serial attacks by Israel, its intelligence services, and wealthy Jewish Americans on the security of the United States and the continued viability of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

On this point, it’s worth noting that just this week the Trump’ administration stopped an effort by Israel and its surrogates in the United States – groups like the ADL and the Southern Poverty Law Center – to deny disaster or development funds to American states not certified as being philosophically acceptable to Israel and its people. We should all keep in mind that Trump’s about-face was not because he found anything wrong with the plan, but because of  the massive rebuke he received from his voter base and the alternate media.

Like all confrontations, there are two sides to every story and the U.S.-Israel relationship is no exception. It is precisely true that Israel and its surrogates among Jewish-Americans are skilled, dedicated, Christian-hating, and lethal enemies of the United States. But that lethality could never exist – not in a million years – if it wasn’t for the extreme criminal avarice of all but one member of the current U.S. Congress, many senior officials from across the federal bureaucracy, including the Pentagon and the Intelligence Community, most of the media, and millions of America-hating and deranged U.S. Christians. This blatant treason, of course, has a lengthy lineage that goes back to Harry Truman recognizing the new state of Israel in return for payoffs he could use to run his 1948 presidential election campaign. The whole sordid racket, of course, has festered into a very public stench-and-treason producer that may be unrivaled in history.

Amongst noisy arguments that often produce truth is the recent spat that arose when the leaders of the Senate and Congress refused to delay their vacation and remain in Washington to do the people’s work. The sum of the spat from the Congress’s perspective was “Nope, to hell with the people’s needs” and then Senator Thune, Speaker Johnson, and the rest went off on close to a month of vacation. Johnson, in fact, could not wait to fly off and take his vacation in Israel, kissing rock and paling around with Israeli officials who had just conducted a military attack that destroyed a Christian Church in Middle East. Johnson has never been shy about talking of his strong Christian beliefs, but the prospect of more payments from Israel and Jewish-Americans and/or their U.S. based organizations clearly trumped his faith in favor of keeping his and his colleagues’ pockets filled with cash.

In addition, Americans are now confronted with overwhelming evidence that American federal and state politicians are willing, even eager to ignore the people’s interests, needs, and constitutional rights – especially free speech — in favor of keeping criminal bribes flowing to them from Israel and Jewish-Americans. These politicians also are willing to kill the soldier-children of American parents by keeping the U.S. military and the citizenry’s tax payments at Israel’s beck and call so Israel can order them to fight its endless war of hate against Muslims and other non-Jews. Who knows, maybe Johnson sped to Israel to pick up bonus payments for all but one member of Congress and the Senate as that traitorous herd prepares to ignore the Constitution for the umpteenth time and silently allow War Lord Trump and Butcher Netanyahu to have yet another military go at Iran, and then move on to depopulate Gaza and steal control of Gaza’s energy resources.
