Michael Scheuer | Non-Intervention

As the impeachment scam seems about to conclude amidst the stench of corruption by which House and Senate Democrats, and, really, all Democrats, are always accompanied, there are so many things for the national government and the loyal citizenry to say and do. (NB: Still a ways to Wednesday, though, so there is time for the Democrats to arrange the slaughter of some school children, illegally publish a few more quotes from that Neocon bastard Bolton, or to make an attempt on the President’s life.)

The Democrats have stolen nearly 3.5 years of the life of the republic and its citizens through their lying Russian investigation and then the Stalinist House impeachment process. How is such theft, and the damage it caused, to be not only repaid but avenged? Wait for the fall election? Arrest the dozens of Democrats who drove the two lawless farces? Or an older, rougher, but much-merited form of effective justice?

While waiting to hear from the President on February 4^th, I must say that, for myself, I want to hear nothing about “now is the time for bipartisanship” or “let us heal the nation” or “forgive and forget”.

No, I want, at least for now, a summation of the Trump administration’s successes and then a clear declaration of a legal, penitentiary-filing war on the Democrats and their accomplices so they are made to pay what they owe the republic for:

–(a.) The Russia investigation and the impeachment, a list of semi-human scum that must include Obama

–(b.) The depraved actions of the Democratic and Republican playmates of Jeffrey Epstein and other human-and-sex traffickers;

–(c.) The traitors who, with the Bidens, Clintons, Pelosis, Finesteins, Careys, etc, appear to be on the treasonous take from Ukraine, China, Iran, and Russia (Uranium 1).

–d.) The State Department, CIA, DOJ, and FBI employees  — and especially the CIA whistle-blower and his clique — who were hired and placed in those agencies, as well as across the whole national-security apparatus, at home and abroad, during Obama’s terms, and who eagerly perpetrated the Russia and impeachment coups.

A tall order, I suppose, but, for the republic’s survival and the cause of a just vengeance, these people must be brought to book; many of them, God willing, to the noose or by the firing squad.

Thereafter, President Trump must announce his intent to bring the legitimate powers of the national government to bear against state governments that are actively defying Washington’s legitimate orders, per the Constitution’s supremacy clause. Those, for example, who are providing sanctuary cities, counties, and states to protect illegal aliens and the crime, disease, narcotics-trafficking, sex-trafficking, child abuse, and human-trafficking that are their stock and trade. The state governments that provide driver licenses or other official documents to illegal aliens, so as to create illegal voters, also must be halted by the legitimate power and duty of the national government to maintain a republican form of government in every state. (NB: The process of eliminating child-abuse mentioned above, of course, must include stopping state, county, and local governments that now are abusing children by indoctrinating kindergarten/grammar/high school students about the “normality” and even glories of the sexual depravities championed by the LBGTQ-ites, as well as by terrorizing them with science-free fantasies about global warming.)

Next, President Trump and the national government must move to restore republican government and the Bill of Rights in all states where they are failing or are gone, starting with Virginia, New York, and California.

Virginia must be first. The few vote-rich counties of northern Virginia elected Democratic Governor Ralph “Ol’ Blackface” Northam, as well as Democratic majorities in Virginia’s senate and assembly. They have moved quickly, not to govern and improve the state, but to dismantle the protection of Virginians by the Bill of Rights, and to punish and make second-class citizens of all Virginians across the state who did not vote for the racist Northam and his regional Gauleiters.

Just in January, 2020, Northam’s pro-infanticide regime announced plans to cancel much of the Bill of Rights in Virginia by using police authorities and perhaps the National Guard to seize weapons from law-abiding Virginians, as well as to pass bills outlawing public criticism of his gutter regime’s officials. So much for the 1^st and 2^nd Amendments. (NB: One must ask what kind of wretched human detritus would vote for Northam and his publicly stated plans to end the Constitution-guaranteed liberties of Virginians? The only answer can be: Democrats.)  The child-hating Northam regime also announced plans to intensify the sexual abuse of children in Virginia’s schools by increasing the instruction of students on the various forms of human sexual depravity so beloved by all Democrats. [1]

The forcible removal of Herr Northam’s regime by the forces of the national government is fully justified under Article 4, Section 4, of the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees that the national government will ensure all the Union’s states a viable republican government. A failure of the national government to restore republican government in the Old Dominion will leave it up to now well-armed Virginians to eliminate Northam’s regime. It is hard to imagine that many of Virginia’s policemen or National Guardsmen would want to die to protect Northam’s racist, Constitution-killing, and authoritarian regime, one that seeks to stop Virginians from defending themselves and their property or vocally opposing their tormentors in Richmond. But who knows. If there are, so be it.

In 1788, one of the greatest Virginians, Patrick Henry, asked his fellow citizens, “Are we at last brought to such a humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our own defense?” Henry argued that they were not yet in such a state. He then advised Virginians that it was always their right and duty, as it was of all Americans, to

“Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who comes near that precious jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. When you give up that force, you are ruined.” [2]

In today’s Virginia, Northam’s thuggish, anti-white, anti-child, and anti-Constitution regime has declared and demonstrated its intention to disarm and silence Virginians – via unconstitutional laws backed by the threat of armed force – while simultaneously slaughtering just-born Virginians and abusing Virginia’s school children. As Mr. Henry of Red Hill warned, Northam, his Gauleiters, and their foot-soldiers are the enemies who are coming “near that precious jewel” of liberty and are planning to destroy it.

The response of many Virginians to Northam’s oppression, so far, has been a knowing, Henry-informed one; namely, “nothing will preserve it [liberty] but downright force.” The “downright force” needed to protect liberty and republican government should be properly wielded in Virginia by the national government. If it is not, Virginians, armed with weapons, their faith, the guidance of the republic’s Founders, and the Constitution, surely will end Northam’s reign of lawless oppression.

Readers of this blog know I long have argued that in the field of anti-terrorism the old adage that “dead men tell no tales” can be usefully revised as “dead terrorists kill no Americans.” Indeed, as I noted in the last piece I published, the willingness to act as President Trump did against Major General Soleimani is fully in line with the essence of an American First foreign policy. The attack was necessary, focused, and effective, and it was done – shocking as it is – in a unilateral manner. Trump used American skill and might to kill a killer of Americans, a man who would have kept killing Americans as long as he lived.

Since Trump’s action, the loyal citizenry has been treated to an in-depth look into the staunch anti-Americanism — perhaps treason is a better description —  of the Democratic Party and the mainstream media. These people have argued that (a) Soleimani was not such a bad fellow, (b) that the president did not have the constitutional power to protect Americans against an imminent threat, and that (c) killing Soleimani may result in more Iranian attacks and so more dead Americans.

The first two of the foregoing points are simply stupid, unsupportable, constitutionally clueless, and deliberately deceitful. The third point merits only a simple response that asserts “no shit”.  The point to be made here is that Soleimani will never, ever, kill another American. Other Iranians or some of their proxies may, but old, saintly Soleimani – as a rotting chunk of dead and shredded meat – will never kill another American. He also will never commit an act that provides a future, war-mongering president the chance to lie the republic into a war with Iran.

This, I think, is the important point. An American First foreign policy means that Americans carry their own water, they act with their own strength to kill the nation’s enemies before those foes kill them, and they make hard decisions, act unilaterally, expect feckless criticism from their effeminate allies, and accept the reality that any human decision may lead to unfortunate and often predictable consequences that will be painful and have to addressed. But Americans also recognize the value of permanently erasing one lethal problem – in this case Soleimani – and moving ahead knowing that it can no longer harm them.

This line of argument regarding Soleimani, I think, is underscored sharply by Bill Clinton’s failure to kill Osama bin Laden when it would have made a substantial difference to U.S. security. As I have said in several pieces, Clinton and his political and military lieutenants had ten chances to capture or kill Osama bin Laden in 1998 and 1999. Clinton also had the chance to kill him and wipe out al-Qaeda’s main infrastructure and many of its members in Kandahar Province after al-Qaeda nearly sank the USS Cole in Yemen in October, 2000. (NB: Incidentally, some of the 9/11 attackers were in training at camps in Kandahar at that time.)

Clinton and his fellow gutless political and military incompetents turned down every one of those chances, and blocked all CIA unilateral operations to do so. When the Special Forces killed Bin Laden in May, 2011, it was 12 years too late to make a decisive difference. Bin Laden’s aim, since the late 1980s, had been to create a self-perpetuating jihad, and at his death that aspiration was a reality. It still is.

That was, of course, only one of the disastrous and predictable repercussions flowing from Clinton’s failure to act, and almost certainly it was not the most disastrous one. The greatest disaster for Americans was the decision of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney – supported by their lickspittle Colin Powell – to use the 9/11 attack and the still very much alive Osama bin Laden as justifications for a “war on terror”. That war was first headlined by the disastrous invasion and occupation of Afghanistan, then by the more catastrophic invasion and occupation of Iraq, and, through both wars, by the still raging attacks at home on the civil liberties of Americans.

Last I checked both wars are still on-going, and both are still producing dead and maimed Americans, as well as enormous financial waste. Both could have been avoided by Clinton killing or capturing bin Laden between 1998 and the end of 2000, and such an action also would have prevented the 9/11 attack as that operation only occurred because Bin Laden was alive, sanctioned it, and overruled his advisory council, most of whose senior members opposed the attack.

The splendid America First killing of Soleimani permits all Americans – including disloyal Democrats and lying journalists – to be sure he will not kill any more of their countrymen. They can also be sure that he and his actions can never give a future president the chance to lie his way into a war with Iran. Other Iranians may provide that opportunity to a war-mongering president – the most common variety of president until Trump – but Soleimani will not.

So, well done, Mr. Trump, and thank you. But now get off your ass and get those remaining 5,000-plus U.S. troops out of Iraq after they first utterly destroying every military installation we built there. Ditto for Afghanistan.

When President Trump ordered the U.S. military to attack and kill the Quds Force commander, Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani, near Baghdad airport, he demonstrated as graphically as possible what non-intervention means. Trump has yet to find the words to fully and easily explain the concept to the citizenry. He should read and rhetorically exploit the potent ideas located in the 1939-1941 speeches of Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh. (1) The components of non-intervention are presented there by Lindbergh perhaps better than by anyone else in republic’s history, save by the Founders in their era, and during the long congressional career of Virginia’s splendid non-interventionist John Randolph of Roanoke.

In 1919, U.S. Senators William E. Borah (R-Idaho) and Robert M. LaFollette (R-Wisconsin) successfully led a small bipartisan group of senators that preserved the republic by blocking U.S. ratification of and adherence to the League of Nations and the Versailles Treaty. The senators thereby halted for most of the next two decades the continuation of the interventionist foreign policy born of Woodrow Wilson’s delusional crusade for democracy and world government.

But then along came the republic’s master deceiver, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who, in the late 1930s and in 1940, casually reneged on his solemn and oft-given pledge to American parents: “I have said this before, but I shall say it again and again and again: your boys are not going to be sent into any foreign wars.” (2) Thereafter, FDR authored a long series of provocations that he and his advisers knew would leave Japan with no choice but war. This provocation campaign also was carried out in the Atlantic, where Roosevelt and his gang eventually wore out the Fueher’s willingness to ignore Roosevelt’s much-denied but always blatantly anti-German policy of diverting badly needed arms from the U.S. military, and ordering the neutral republic to arm the British military and protect Britain’s supply convoys. “Have you ever stopped to think,” Lindbergh intended to asked listeners to a speech set for delivery on 12 December 1941,” how ridiculous it is that this democratic nation has twice, within a generation, been carried to war by presidents who were elected because they promised peace.”(3) (NB: Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor caused Lindbergh to cancel the speech. He then began a war-long personal effort to aid the republic along the path to victory. He voluntarily served as a human guinea-pig to test and improve masks for the use of air-crews flying at high-altitudes, and, later in the war, flew 50 combat missions in the South Pacific.)

The U.S. bipartisan governing elite –under the direction of Roosevelt, his conniving, acid-tongued Interior Secretary Harold Ickes, and the foreign intervention they welcomed from Churchill and Britain’s intelligence services — slandered Lindbergh and ultimately ruined his reputation, thereby almost entirely blotting out the history of his pivotal political role in trying to preserve the American republic.

Why was Colonel Lindbergh the top target of these war-wanters, or, as he called them, the “war agitators”? Simply because he had the nerve and grit to tell the absolute truth as he and most Americans saw it; namely, that Roosevelt and most of the East Coast’s governing elite, Jewish-Americans and their media and political organizations, and the British government were pushing to involve the United States in a war that much of the U.S. citizenry wanted no part of. Lindbergh’s words were true in 1939-41, and they are more clearly true today.

Speaking of today, all three of the groups Lindbergh called out — and especially Jewish-Americans — are still “war agitators”, although the war they currently are waging is a covert and overt war that is meant to destroy the legitimately elected Trump administration, as well as the American republic and its Constitution.

Since the vicious and dastardly destruction of Lindbergh’s reputation, the U.S. governing elite, including presidents, generals, admirals, senators, congressmen, professors, clerics, mainstream journalists, major Jewish-American leaders and their organizations, and senior civil servants, has consistently hurled hatred at their fellow citizens, clothing it in such epithets as “isolationist” and/or “non-interventionist”. This hatred is aimed at any and every American citizen who (a) respects the Founders’ foreign-policy guidance; (b) accepts, as did the Founders, the truism that humans are unalterably hard-wired for war; (c) opposes the idea that the United States must participate in other peoples’ wars that have no impact on genuine U.S. interests; (d) dismisses the insane contention that America must join wars waged by other states in the name of spreading war-causing abstract ideas, such as democracy, women’s rights, the glories of sexual deviance and fluid genders, secularism, diversity, multiculturalism, etc.; and (e) believes that the republic’s security and survival is dependent on adhering as closely as possible to the concept embodied in the two words “America First”.

Trump’s marvelous, Americans-protecting attack on Suliemani is a perfect example of the role that military force always must play in a forthright non-interventionist foreign policy. Our republic can never be neutral and non-interventionist unless it is well-armed and the world knows American leaders are ready to unilaterally use it — with catastrophic impact — against anyone unwise enough to attack us.  Suliemani commanded forces that have killed or wounded many hundreds of Americans, and he was on his way from the Baghdad Airport to do more damage to Americans when he was wonderfully shredded and presumably splattered by a Hell-fire missile’s shrapnel.

Thus, President Trump ordered the unilateral application of U.S. military force in the only cause it should ever be applied; namely, when Americans or the republic’s interests are imminently threatened or attacked by foreign foes. If Iran responds militarily to Suliemani’s long overdue demise, Trump must drop any pretense of proportionality, which is a murderous, always war-prolonging-and-expanding doctrine that war-wanters, arms-makers, and prating clerics adore, and which has kept America at war with Iran since 1979, and in Afghanistan and Iraq for 18 and 16 years, respectively. The only mercies in war, after all, are a speedy conclusion and a clear and irrefutable victory.

An Iranian military attack, must prompt President Trump to unleash U.S. military power to destroy Iran’s oil-production facilities, or its navy, or its merchant fleet, or, better yet, all three. No U.S. troops on the ground, no occupation forces led by an imperial pro consul, no U.S. demands for changes in Iran’s government or its political and social systems, and no U.S.-taxpayer-funded reconstruction assistance. Simply let the Iranians lick their wounds, work out their post-catastrophe future, and reflect on the fact that, hereafter, it would be terribly unwise to again fuck with the Americans.(4)

It is important to add, that, in addition to perpetually accusing non-interventionists (American Firsters) of anti-Semitism and isolation, the internationalists, now globalists, hate non-elite Americans and routinely claim that non-interventionists are cowards, pacifists, and odorous rubes who are unable to understand that “the world has changed”. The truth, of course, is that none of this is true, but those who claim it to be fact command the political parties, the mainstream media, including FOX, the general officer corps (which always demands as many wars as possible), and innumerable Protestant and Catholic pulpits.

Thankfully, Trump’s action against Suliemani starts to expose the fact that the foregoing accusations are lies which have been, since at least 1939, ingrained in the minds of generations of Americans by the media and the schools. The truth is that there are endless numbers of non-interventionist Americans who will fight to the death to defend genuine U.S. national interests, resist tyranny in their own country, save endangered U.S. citizens, and annihilate attackers of the republic — precisely the forms of warfare that are undeniably intrinsic to the concept of America First and the Founders’ guidance.

There is never an adequate justification for the republic to enter other peoples’ wars; a region-wide Sunni-Shia war, for example, would be no skin off the republic’ nose. There also is never a justifiable role for the U.S. military in any foreign war fought for spreading democracy, for any other abstraction, or for the favorite foreign nation of any American clique of politicians, clerics, or citizens.

For now, let us pray that the Iraqi parliament responds to the killing of Suliemani by ordering the United States military to leave Iraq, thereby ending the governing elite’s worst post-1945 foreign policy decision. Now that would be one tremendous victory for the republic-protecting doctrine of non-intervention.

I am not an admirer of the democratic system as it has has evolved in the United States since the Founding. I am especially opposed to the kind of democratic system that has grown since the start of Lyndon Johnson’s bankrupting and citizenry-enslaving Great Society. As the Founders would have thought, I believe that the current nature of democracy in America is the generator of anarchy, which, in turn, inevitably solidifies the rule of the aspiring tyrants – in this case, the Democratic leaders, the legacy media, and the Media Titans — who are using democracy to produce anarchy and turn the anarchy into a durable and brutal tyranny

The Founders’ likely, and my own absolute opposition to today’s kind of democracy has been verified, for all who care to see and understand, in the denial of civil liberties, due process, and equality before the law to the president of the United States. The importance of the tyrants’ deliberate and destructive rape of the Constitution and the rule of law is a minor annoyance to President Trump, but it is an explicit augury of what the Democratic Party intends to do to any American citizen who objects – or resists – the tyranny they are seeking impose if they achieve national power.

As we slide along into 2020 on the oozing scum relentlessly being spread by the mere existence of the Democrat Party, the Trump Administration is faced with monumental tasks that may well require a declaration of martial law. These include the nation-wide restoration of responsible republican government; the destruction of all state governments that have acted, or threatened to act, unconstitutionally in such areas of immigration; election manipulation; non-citizen voting; blackmailing the federal judiciary and members of Congress; supporting pedophilia and those who practice it; and slowly strangling the  2^nd Amendments.

Article 4, Section 4 of the Constitution may be the most comprehensively powerful –and strangely neglected – statement of legitimate national government authority. Section 4 simply and clearly states:

“The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.”

This comprehensive power was placed in the hands of the national government by the Founders and the Constitution, I believe, as a power of absolute last resort, as the nation’s making of war must always be. Section 4 should have been triggered a decade or more ago as the requirements of both of its clauses have been fulfilled. There is no genuine republican government in a number of states – the governments there, in fact, are actively eradicating republicanism and conducting an insurrection – and so each can accurately be described as having been invaded by lethal enemies of republicanism, and so neither the executive or legislature in those states will request the aid of the national government to restore republicanism. The Constitution’s guarantee of republicanism in every state, therefore, can only be secured by destroying those state governments and their insurrection via the unilateral intervention of the national government. Five steps by the national government suggest themselves.

–1.) The republican form of government guaranteed by the Constitution must be forcibly restored in – at least – California, New York, Virginia, and Minnesota. The governors and their cabinets in those states must be arrested not only for failing to maintain republican government, but for trying to destroy it in their states. The mayors, and department heads of such cities as Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Seattle, Oakland, Minneapolis, Richmond, Portland, and San Francisco also must be arrested for the same reason. They should be replaced by trustworthy military officers and troops with the experience in police-like duties and the task of restoring safe and reliable public order and infrastructure operation, talents they gathered in overseas operations. In America, they will have the support and cooperation of most of the well-armed citizenry, unlike in their operations overseas.

–2.) The illegal aliens living in these states and cities must be identified and deported with dispatch – along with their criminality, violence, disease, and illiteracy — by whatever means of transportation come to hand. These people, and all with them, are self-made criminals simply because they crossed America’s northern and southern borders without being authorized to do so by the national government. These self-made criminals are of no legal or humanitarian concern to the United States once they are identified for deportation and, in one way or another, must be pushed across the northern and southern borders into Canada or Mexico.

–3.) Every local police chief and every chief of state police forces in the country must be assessed. If any of them are found to have a record of helping the Democrats to plan and execute mass shootings or refusing to protect the citizenry from the Democratic Party’s terrorist groups – ANTIFA, BLM, MS-13, and BAM – he or she, and the top lieutenants of each, must be arrested for promoting terrorism and immediately incarcerated in Guantanamo Bay. In addition, all members of the named terrorist organizations must be arrested on terrorism charges and incarcerated in Guantanamo Bay. The National Guard’s commanders and his/her staff in each state must be likewise assessed. If they have supported – physically or vocally—unconstitutional activity, they should join those police officials and American-citizen terrorists bound for long stays in sunny Cuba.

–4.) All public and private colleges and universities in the United States must be defunded by the national government for a period of at least five years or until a federal court in each college or university’s vicinity evaluates and confirms that all aspects of the Constitution’s 1^st Amendment have been fully restored, protected, and promoted on each campus. Thereafter, and for at least ten consecutive years, each college and university must be annually certified by the court as having fully maintained, protected, and promoted all liberties cited and guaranteed in the 1^st Amendment.

–5.) All members of the governing elite — including elected officials and federal civil servants — who have sought and received monetary, propaganda, media, or political support from the regimes or citizens of China, Ukraine, Russia, Britain, Italy, Germany, Israel, or other foreign nations to defeat presidential-Trump candidate or the legitimately elected Trump Administration must be arrested, transported to Guantanamo Bay, turned over to military tribunals for trial, and immediately executed if found guilty.

The recommendations above may, and perhaps should, strike readers as extreme. They strike me that way. Still, is there anything more extreme than 38 consecutive months of the Democratic Party, the Media Titans, and the assorted crazed and criminal members of the Democratic congressional contingent deliberately robbing the republic of more than three years of its life. These miscreants have worked to destroy social cohesion and censor free speech; prevented the greater growth of the economy; blocked the complete elimination of the inflow of illegal aliens; stopped additional reductions in the unemployment and poverty rates; obstructed the termination of the Democrats’ and establishment-Republicans’ unnecessary and unconstitutional wars and their sending of many tens of billions of dollars in aid for foreigners, while Americans at home are malnourished and their infrastructure is left unbuilt; and prevented additional tax cuts for all Americans. Worse, they and their foreign allies have, since 2016, worked with great determination to overthrow the entire republican system of government in the United States. Is there a punishment too severe for this anti-American behavior? I think there is not, no matter how bloody.

Several hundred years ago, a distinguished Jesuit priest named Balthasar Grecian – a strong, honest, and learned man, unlike today’s effeminate, pro-depravity, anti-America Jesuits and their Clown-Socialist-Pope – wrote a book of maxims about how life should be lived, one of which is particularly pertinent to the situation that the pro-Constitution American citizenry faces today. “A happy finish makes everything shine,” Fr. Grecian advised, “no matter how unfitting the means may have been. Which explains why at times it should be a rule to offend the rules when it is not possible by other means to attain a happy ending.” (2)

Enough is enough. The U.S. Constitution clearly prescribes the proper rules for ending America’s current insurrection. Given that fact, the Trump administration is obligated by the Constitution to use effective force to end the insurrection and restore republican government nationwide. If the loyal parts of the U.S. military need help in accomplishing these ends, there is an enormous the pool of former and combat-experienced soldiers and Marines to draw from, and an even larger body of private and well-armed male and female citizens who are willing to join militia units.

The tyrants above; all elected Democrats at every level of government; all members of the Democrat Party; and all of the supporters of the foregoing are precisely why the Founders left Americans the 2nd Amendment, and decreed that it was never to be abridged.

Thus, the recent performance of these tyrants — seeking to negate the votes of  63 million citizens — underlines the vital importance of the 2nd Amendment and the right and duty of the citizenry to eliminate tyrants by force if no other resolution can be attained. The determination of when only that final option remains, belongs exclusively to the citizenry.

“The only real security of liberty in any country, is the jealousy [suspicion of rulers] and circumspection of the people themselves. Let them be watchful over their rulers. Should they find a combination against their liberties, and all other methods appear insufficient to preserve them, they have, thank God, an ultimate remedy. The power which created the government, can destroy it.”

I highly recommend to readers of this site the following article: Barbara Bolland’s excellent, “5 Infuriating Takeaways from the ‘Afghanistan Papers’,” American Conservative, 10 December 2019. (1) Ms. Bolland’s incisive article recounts the deliberate waste of U.S. human and financial assets in Afghanistan, as well as the wholesale lies that were, for 18-plus years, used to mislead Americans by presidents, media pundits, senators and congressmen, and, most especially, consistently, and vigorously by multiple Chairmen of the Joints Chiefs of Staff and many other U.S. general officers. (NB: I suspect that Iraq has been as bad, but that shoe has yet to drop.)

While I have often discussed America’s Afghan War on this blog, I cannot add much to Ms. Boland’s article, which clearly presents evidence from just-released documents and focuses on the years after the war began on 7 October 2001. I can, however, add a bit about what happened in the short span of weeks between 9/11 and the war’s October start. (NB: I worked on Afghanistan at CIA — from several different directions — from December, 1985, to November, 2004.)

The following points underscore, I think, how lightly the most senior levels of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) took the Agency’s responsibility to provide the best possible support to the U.S. government’s Afghan war effort. I tend to believe that this fact was, in major part, the result of senior CIA officials knowing that the Bush Administration’s main goal in the Afghan War was to use it to justify the invasion and occupation of Iraq, as well as to use it as the driver for a vast expansion of the police/surveillance state in the United States, which is still growing. (NB: On Iraq, for example, I recall that Agency leaders began shifting Arabic-speakers from the Bin Laden unit and other CTC components by late-2001/early-2002, and sending them to aid preparatory efforts underway for the March, 2003, invasion of Iraq.) Following is the story of these five weeks as I remember it. I was recalled to the Agency’s Counterterrorism Center in the early evening of 11 September 2001.

–1.) On 9/11, the CIA was flush with officers who had prolonged experience working on Afghanistan and the varities of war as they are conducted therein. A substantial number of these individuals – from lower GS grades to the most experienced Senior Intelligence Officers — had worked on Afghanistan for the entire length of the Afghan-Soviet War, 1979-1989, stayed on from 1989-to-1992 to assist in the final destruction of the still Soviet-armed and supported Afghan Communist regime, and then continued working on the country’s involvement in terrorism, insurgency, and heroin-trafficking to the day of the 9/11 attacks.

Now, 14-years of experience working on one facet of a private-sector institution’s business might not seem unusual – men and women spend thirty-or-more years making steel or automobiles, others preside over logistics or financial operations for the same period – but at CIA, and in the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) generally, such expertise is thought unnecessary and as a sure sign of an officer’s lack of career ambition. Some intelligence officers are permitted to specialize on particular issues for prolonged periods, but only at the personal cost of few and widely separated promotions. An officer’s decision to specialize is always made with knowledge that it will limit his-or-her chances for promotion.

–2.) Before the fires of 9/11 were damped and bureaucratic priorities took control of CIA decision-making, a team of several of the smartest, bravest, and most experienced CIA Afghan hands were deployed to Afghanistan. There they prepared the ground for U.S. relations with the anti-Taleban Northern Alliance, secured airfields and other areas for the use of U.S. Special Forces, gathered intelligence about al-Qaeda and Taleban activities, and made sure the coffee was hot when Afghanistan-ignorant U.S. general officers swaggered into the country.

These CIA officers did a magnificent and courageous job, one whose success shone even brighter after it was learned that Pentagon had no off-the-shelf plan for war in Afghanistan – not much of a surprise, as it already had refused to assist in killing/capturing bin Laden – and had no interest in exploiting the detailed plans formulated by the CIA and other IC components for destroying Afghanistan’s poppy fields and the organizations that facilitated the export of heroin to Europe, Turkey, Russia, the United States, and elsewhere.

–3.) By a week or so after 9/11, CIA’s senior bureaucrats substantially reduced the quality of Agency support not only for the U.S. military, but also for the Agency officers on the ground in Afghanistan and elsewhere in South Asia. (NB: The exceptions to this statement are the superb support for Afghan operations from the Counterterrorism Center’s Bin Laden unit — which of course gave President Clinton 10 chances to kill or capture bin Laden in 1997-1999, and thereby 10 chances to prevent 9/11 — and CIA’s always excellent and daring paramilitary operators.)

Four senior CIA officers are primarily and directly responsible for the self-inflicted wound of refusing to exploit CIA’s substantial stock of Afghan operational experience to support the Afghan war effort: Cofer Black, Henry Crumpton, James Pavitt, and George Tenet.

–4.) The gist of this travesty is that the four men responsible for providing CIA’s best effort, instead used the just-started war to test out their belief that it took no special talent or experience to understand Afghanistan and defeat Islamist terrorists and insurgents. They championed the delusion that any Afghanistan-ignorant Directorate of Operations (DO) officer could be plugged into waging the new Afghan war and do as well or better than those CIA officers who were already armed with a decade or more first-hand Afghan experience in assisting the mujahidin to defeat the Soviet superpower and/or searching for bin Laden.

James Pavitt, in particular, is at fault on this issue. He appeared to strongly dislike the Counterterrorism Center; had no significant experience in the Islamic world or its wars; and abhorred approving covert operations meant to protect Americans if there was chance they might fail and thereby further undermine his very thin credentials for serving in a senior-most CIA leadership position. Pavitt did, however, have what counted most; namely, DCI George Tenet’s willingness to coddle him and ignore examples of his human frailties.

–5.) Two of the other men mentioned above — Cofer Black (Chief/CTC) and Henry Crumpton — had spent almost all of their pre-CTC careers working issues that had nothing to do with Afghanistan or South Asia. Working on intelligence issues in other areas of the world, of course, is nowhere close to an easy thing. It is a very dangerous world, and both men were reputed to have done excellently in the region in which they were stationed. But each – whether for self-aggrandizement or their sharing of Pavitt’s view that the Afghan war, Islamist insurgency, or Islamist terrorist experience was nothing special and any DO officer without it could do the job – proceeded to form an Afghan Task Force (ATF) led by Crumpton. With Black’s okay, Crumpton filled it with officers who had spent much of their careers working on Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Africa. Again, I must add that each of these regions present a wealth of intricate and dangerous problems for the Agency officers working there, and each problem requires experience, talent, and bravery to solve successfully.

That said, in supporting an unanticipated and emergency U.S. military invasion/occupation of a country where U.S. military forces had never operated, it beggars commonsense not to have exploited the abundance of Afghan-experienced CIA officers. If your goal was – as it should have been – to have CIA do its utmost to support U.S. forces, and the victory that U.S. generals should have but never did seek, then it was absolutely necessary to bring to bear CIA’s best brainpower and country-savvy. This was never done by the CIA while it was headed by George Tenet. This struck me as odd. Tenet had been the staff director of the the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Agency (SSCI) during much of the Soviet-Afghan War in the 1980s. Throughout those years, Tenet was regularly briefed in detail on precisely how the mujahedin were gradually defeating the Soviet superpower. Ironically, Tenet, after 9/11, presided over an effort that allowed the mujahidin to defeat a second superpower in exactly the same way in which Tenet knew they had defeated the first.  (NB: How do I know this? I delivered or participated in several dozen of these briefings.)

–6.) The new, post-9/11 Afghan Task Force (ATF) – not be confused with the first ATF, which successfully helped the Afghans defeat the Soviets — also operated in a way that made it apparent that its main task was to prove Pavitt’s belief that “anyone can do this Afghan/terrorist stuff”, and not to bring pertinent Agency experience to bear and thereby optimize the Agency’s contribution to the war effort. Set up in a secure-access vault, the ATF’s chief — Crumpton — decreed that each officer working in the vault had to have an extra marking on his/her badge before being permitted to enter. In essence, this chucklehead ensured that his able but Afghan-ignorant officers were all but sealed-off from the wealth of pertinent and recent experience that stood just outside the door of their now-sacred vault.  More than a few times, the Army and Marine field-grade officers who visited the ATF for pre-deployment briefings left the vault and immediately sought out Afghan-experienced CIA officers they knew – at the time, many were working on al-Qaeda and other Sunni fighters in CTC, and had been for 5 to 10 years – to get the real skinny on what they would face in the unique world inside Afghanistan.

In the next few years — my first-hand experience ends in mid-November, 20o4 — many CIA officers were amazed to find that virtually no field- grade officers had been prepared by their superiors for the new Afghan war by being directed to read and study the Red Army’s Afghan after-action report — written by that army’s General Staff — about the causes of the USSR’s disastrous defeat in the Soviet-Afghan war of 1979-1992. (2)

Almost none of military officers being briefed – and I suspect more than a few ATF members – seemed to be aware of this surprisingly frank study that detailed Soviet military, political, and intelligence failures during Moscow’s Afghan war. One of these failures was not having studied how illiterate, technology-poor, and ill-armed Afghans had been able, almost without exception, to defeat the far better armed and much more technically advanced armies that had invaded Afghanistan on multiple occasions since the time of Alexander the Great.

The Soviet generals also noted that they failed to understand the importance of the Islamic faith to the Afghans’ conduct of war. This failure was especially prominent in the areas of the mujahidin coping well with high casualties, especially family members; attaching minimal importance to defeat in individual engagements with the Soviets because defeat meant only that they had not yet earned the victory only Allah could deliver; demonstrating extreme patience, born of faith, that Allah eventually would award victory to His faithful; and the minimal war-weariness and morale-decline among the mujahidin due to the foregoing realities of their faith.

CIA’s Afghan hands not only read the Soviet generals’ book, but had first-hand experience in working with and supporting the Afghans whom the Red Army generals described as their conquerors. U.S. general officers had no idea of how to defeat the mujahedin, but CIA officers could easily have instructed the clueless American and NATO generals on how those haphazardly armed Islamist insurgents defeated a Soviet army loaded with superior technology and weaponry, and how they surely would be defeated by them. None of this was allowed to be shared with U.S. soldiers and Marines — unless they searched out the veteran Afghan CIA officers — going off to fight the Afghan enemy in a war that is now more than 18-years old.

In the end, there are three iron-clad lessons that CIA’s Afghan hands would have shared with the U.S. military had they had the opportunity.

–First, take to heart the lessons of a superpower’s defeat by Afghans that were graciously detailed by Red Army generals, and do not repeat them.

–Second, there will never be Western-style democracy, secularism, civil liberties, women’s rights, meaningful elections, or rule of law in Afghanistan; in other words, Westernization and secularism can never be imposed on Afghanistan. There was no sign in 2001 that more than a distinct minority of Afghans — many of them expatriates — would accept such an imposition. Even fewer would accept it in 2019, because the power of Islamism is now far stronger in Afghanistan and because the Afghan insurgents believe they have won.

–Three, because remaking Afghans into secular, libertine, and democracy-addled Westerners cannot be done by a war of any length, there is no use hanging around for more than the 18-24 months needed to conduct a savage, country-wide, and punitive campaign of human and material desolation, and then get out of the country. That course of action would have made the Afghans think twice about again messing with the U.S. military, a thought process that would have been accelerated, deepened, and lengthened once there were no more U.S. boots on the ground in Afghanistan.

Just before the October, 2001, opening of the Afghan war, the renowned, at times brilliant, British military historian John Keegan offered U.S. leaders the same first-rate advice (3) that would have been offered by CIA’s Afghan hands had they been allowed to participate in supporting the war. Keegan explained that,

The pattern to Afghanistan’s foreign and domestic wars seems to go as follows. Foreign interventions aimed at dominance founder on the belligerence of the population, who abandon internecine conflict to combine against invaders, and [up]on the country’s severe terrain. In the absence of foreign interference, however, Afghans fall easily into fighting each other, often seeking outside help, which provokes intervention, thus restarting the cycle. Limited campaigns of penetration, aimed simply at inflicting punishment, can succeed, as long as the punitive forces remain mobile, keep control of the high ground and are skillful at tactical disengagement. … Is this analysis any help to the Americans? It certainly warns against any plan to station large ground forces inside the country….

Then Keegan got down to nuts and bolts. “As America may, and should, plan to mount only punitive attacks,” Keegan wrote, “they should do so from outside Afghanistan, adding that central Asia promises to be the best basing area available.” Keegan closed his on-point advice for the Bush Administration by confiding that the most important lesson the British military had learned from more than a century of mostly failed invasions of Afghanistan from India was to have no ambition of conducting a long occupation or of reforming the people and their governing practices. “What the product of punitive attacks might be defies prediction,” Keegan wrote,

As one of President Bush’s closest advisers is reported to have asked recently: “What can we do to Afghanistan that Afghanistan hasn’t already done to itself?” Always poor and backward, it has been reduced by civil and foreign war to a wasteland. The best that can be hoped of military action is to regenerate division between its many tribes and factions, which may yield terrorist hostages to American wrath, and to frighten the Taliban leaders. … Afghans, though doughty warriors, are also pragmatists. They like fighting but are prepared to live to fight another day if the odds are stacked against them. The trick America must achieve is to stack the odds in its favour.

Obviously, neither Bush, his advisers, or his generals, nor – astoundingly, the British cabinet and generals – gave a hoot for Keegan’s defeat-avoiding advice and so will end with a much more humiliating and total defeat than did the Red Army. That reality is bad enough, but the fact that CIA officers – and, ironically, Red Army generals — could have provided as good advice as Keegan, but based on much more recent and detailed evidence and first-hand experience, speaks to the unrelenting danger that cowardly, self-aggrandizing, and grossly ignorant senior bureaucrats consistently pose to U.S. national security.

This morning news is replete with condemnations of QANON, his team, and their followers. Much is made of the accused murderer of a gang boss whose lawyers claim that his support for QANON shows his insanity. Support for such an inane and daft argument, of course, will only occur if a court is presided over by an Obama-appointed judge.

The point of noting the foregoing is that, beyond being a silly lie, it is too little, too late to save the Democratic coup-ists and insurrectionists. Why? Because there is so much accuracy – and well-proven accuracy – in three years of QANON postings that there is no need to defend either the published material or QANON and his substantial team of loyal-citizen researchers. (NB: QANON also has millions of followers and researchers overseas, good people who are now supporting his work and also working take down their own tyrannical rulers.)

The republic-wide insurrection against the President and his administration has long been documented and fully outlined by QANON and team, as has the extremely well-merited and excruciatingly painful punishment that is coming to the insurrectionists. Personally, I would prefer immediate and lethal, post-trial punishment – by loyal-citizen firing squads chosen by lottery – but will stand by any decision that is supported by the majority of loyal citizens. Remember that, in this case, “enough” will be enough only when loyal citizens – not the politicians — say it is.

In addition to the irrefutable fact that QANON data have been overwhelmingly accurate, a review of the clear facts about the leading insurrectionists’ behavior and intentions add luster to the savage house-cleaning that is approaching, per QANON, commonsense, the Constitution’s provisions, and answered prayers. It ought to give QANON deniers (AKA: coup-ists, insurrectionists) plenty to think about as they wait their for their own inevitable and personal hell to arrive. (Maybe all of the following, gallows-headed traitors will write a Q on their palm and claim innocence by insanity?)

–1.) Nancy Pelosi: Framer-in Chief of President Trump; from a “fine Catholic home” that taught her Catholicism says it is okay to kill 61 million babies; fit to live in a high-security nursing home, but not to work in one. Mother of a son who is just as lawabiding, adult, and talented as Biden’s son Hunter.

–2.) Barack Obama: Kenya-born: Iran’s “man of the century”: insurrectionist in the shadows; lover of Ayatollahs; collector of pallets of cash; leading Climate Change hoaxer; and, not a crime, just fact: another typical Rahm Emmanuel-like, Chicago-based, shit-bird loser

–3.) Chuck Schumer: Abettor of the crimes of Pelosi, Obama, Feinstein, and Biden; a lead despicable in using people killed in shooting incidents – perhaps arranged by his party – for prompting fake crocodile tears, political gain, and the end of the Bill of Rights.

–4.) Adam Schiff: Nazi-like Gauleiter; shredder of the Constitution and Bill of Rights; longtime pal of a rich, Democratic-bundler, druggee, and accused doper/murderer of young men; illegal phone-tapper; Pharaoh-like dresser-upper at private parties (or rituals?).

–5.) John Brennan: Coup-ist; treasonous bastard; close ties to Saudis and perhaps 9/11: serial perjurer: hides his desperate fear with MSNBC tirades and Tweets, the latter all his IQ makes possible. (NOTE to the CIA Director: When will you get rid of the multiple Agency employees who are feeding intelligence to Brennan, Clapper, Pelosi, Nadler, Schiff, and other republic-and-Constitution attackers? If not forthwith, they will sink the whole Agency. Times a wastin’.)

–6.) Gerry Nadler: Nazi-like Gauleiter; Bill-of Rights destroyer; seemingly a former overseer at Tara; a mumbling, bumbling, none-too smart, Mr. Five-by-Five-type, this last no crime, but he has none of the redeeming qualities of that lad:

“Well, twirl my turban, man alive!, Here comes Mister Five by Five, He’s one of those big fat bouncing boys, Solid avoirdupois! That man, Can really jump it for a fat man, The only trouble is there’s no way of knowin’, Whether he’s comin’ or goin’.” (1)

–7.) Diane Finestein: 20-year playmate of a Chinese spy – imagine the pillow talk; architect of Kavanaugh’s framing; outspoken “Friend of China”. Enough said.

–8.) Joe Biden: Thief harvesting (local and U.S. taxpayer?) dollars in Ukraine and Cyprus – at least; decades-long, child-feeler-upper; taunter and ridiculer of old, sick men; hider/abettor of Obama, Lynch, Holder, and IRS felonies; father of an over-age, moronic, crack-user that Dad forced the military to accept.

–9.) Hillary Clinton: All-time-champion foundation felon; inept but dedicated election-rigger; partner in husband-wife firm associated with several dozen mysterious murders; champion of the mass-murder of American babies, as well that of the Haitians abandoned by her charity; too many more items to count.

–10.) John Podesta: Pizza? Seth Rich? DNC Server? Enough said.

–11.) Eric Swalwell: Effeminate me-tooer participant in the illegal framing of Kavanaugh and the President; violator of the Geneva Accord’s prohibition against releasing poison gas against civilians, a brutal attack seen and heard on MSNBC video.

–12.) James Clapper: Serial perjurer; taker of constant, lousily disguised trips to Australia to seek refuge from a foreign government that will shield him from the avengers of his and Brennan’s lies, treason, and other crimes. He eventually will wish to changes places with the Koala bears dying in brush/forest fires.

–13.) Christopher Steele: Foreign mercenary waging war against a legitimately elected U.S. president; just another typical anti-U.S., MI6, British asshole — arrogance, smug looks, cowardice, big talk, no doing.

–14.) John Kerry: Obama’s successor as lover of Ayatollahs: close family involvement with Biden crime family: abettor of the globalist/foreigner attempt to impose the quack-science Climate Change hoax in the United States to destroy the earning-power, savings, and liberties of America’s now-rising working and middle classes.

–15.) David Ignatius: Washington Post’s latest lying, pundit-in-chief; court-historian for the self-proclaimed resistance; No talent, but decades of publishing lies and compromising intelligence operations; now knee-deep in support of the Democratic party’s illegal coup and insurrection.

—Question: Does the Constitution and the 1^st Amendment protect pundits who knowingly publish data meant to further a violent domestic insurrection and destroy the national government, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights?

–Answer: The Founders, God bless ‘em, were not dummies. Ignatius, his fellow lying scribblers, and all the U.S. citizens named above will pay dearly for their ill-deeds. There is no Constitutional protection for U.S. citizens who wage war against their country, especially those who enlist foreign governments to assist them.

Pathetic Females: First there was Christine Blasey Ford, then there was Marie Yovanovitch, and now there is Lisa Page, three revolting products of fifty years of American feminism. It seems clear that these three slobbering women have been ruined by that feminism, and may well have been raised by three mothers who were likewise ruined. The mighty contemporary American feminist-woman, it seems, specializes in demanding preferences for education and jobs, the right to murder, and laws assuring their dominance over men. Then once they get into the workplace they pretend to be tough, smart, and honest.

But once they run into difficult situations — Ford, a perceived threat to her right to murder found in Hillary’s defeat and Kavanaugh’s nomination; Yovanovitch’s seemingly treasonous work to overthrow Trump before and after he defeated the feminist god, baby-butcher, and criminal Hillary Clinton; and Page, who appears to have loved stupidly while blithely committing fraud and treason – they invariably seek refuge in playing the 1900-1960 kind of women, those that they and their like inaccurately berate as inferior women. They cry, even weep; pout; take on the demeanor of a sweet, but victimized, 12-year-old Shirley Temple; claim intimidation; and, of course, blame men for their problems. These three women are pathetic charlatans and appear to be warning signs that there are several generations of American women that are riddled with similar perpetual adolescents. These women are non-adults who masquerade as responsible adults until they are challenged, do not get what they want, or are caught in compromising or criminal situations. As always, Mr. Dylan, America’s greatest post-war philosopher and historian, used lyrics to nail such women to the wall. That, of course, is what little girls of the type of Ford, Yovanovitch, and Page richly deserve.

I just can’t fit
Yes, I believe it’s time for us to quit
But when we meet again
Introduced as friends
Please don’t let on that you knew me when
I was hungry and it was your world
Ah, you fake just like a woman, yes, you do
You make love just like a woman, yes, you do
Then you ache just like a woman
But you break just like a little girl (1)

Just before I published this piece, a fourth suffering sister of the three little girls discussed above flew onto the stage. A law professor named Pamela Karlan explained to the judiciary committee that the Constitution clearly demands impeachment of the president because she personally hates Trump; would never walk past one of his hotels; and thinks the president’s young son is a worthy target of her abusive comments. Childish, incoherent, hateful, ignorant of the Constitution and the Founders’ intent, and oh so sensitive about her agonizingly hurt personal feelings, Professor Karlan is a stereotypical, unable-to-grow-up feminist loser, and a malignant part of the feminist disease that is battering the republic, its institutions, its social cohesion, and all normal citizens of both genders. Time to charge into adulthood, Professor Karlan, as you have now demonstrated that a 60-year-old little girl has nothing worthwhile to contribute in the public arena.

2^nd Amendment: The journalist Jed Babbin has written in The Spectator that, here in Virginia, a leader of the state’s anti-Constitution, Democratic Party, State Senator Dick Saslaw, has “introduced a bill (SB 16) that he will sponsor in the 2020 legislative session. That bill will outlaw not only the sale or transfer but also the possession of certain firearms.” (2) In addition, Babbin explains, “every rifle of the common AR-15 design and a great many pistols and shotguns in common use for personal defense, target shooting, and hunting would be banned. Not only would they be banned, but because SB 16 makes it illegal to possess such firearms, they also would have to be either surrendered to or seized by police authorities in the jurisdiction in which they are located.” (3)

Since reading Mr. Babbin’s article, I have not only bought more ammunition, but found that “dozens” of Virginia’s counties have declared themselves a “2^nd Amendment Sanctuary County”. This is a credible and praiseworthy use of the term sanctuary, pro-Constitution and not meant, as are all other domestic sanctuary entities, to destroy the Constitution and the republic. On 3 December 2019, Spencer Neale wrote in the Washington Examiner:

Counties across the state of Virginia are passing Second Amendment sanctuary resolutions in anticipation of strict gun control measures planned by the majority-held Democratic Virginia General Assembly.

On Monday, citizens spilled out of the Betty Queen Center in Louisa where an estimated 600 people gathered to pass a resolution that protects the gun rights of Virginians. 22 other counties in Virginia have signed similar resolutions including Appomattox, Bedford, and Lee counties.

In Halifax [County], citizens overwhelmingly passed a resolution opposing any new gun control legislation that might be passed in the coming state assembly. In southwestern Buchanan County, residents signed a statement demanding the resignation of Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam. (4)

This is about par for Virginia’s ol’ black-faced Ralphie and his fellow fascist Democrats. It also perfectly fits with the national Democratic Party’s strategy  for killing the republic, and will serve as its first campaign to try to remove the citizenry’s ability to defend against and defeat the tyranny Democrats intend to impose on Virginians and then on all Americans. The Democrats ought to stop for a moment and recall that British General Thomas Gage tried to forcibly disarm many of the people of Massachusetts, both in Boston and its environs. Those attempts ended with Lexington, Concord, the blood-soaked British retreat to Boston, Bunker Hill, the cannon-filled threat from Dorchester Heights, and the mighty British army and navy haplessly fleeing Boston for Canada.

Ol’ black-faced Ralph ought to bear that lesson in mind and determine how much he and his supporters value their own hides, as well as the hides of those they send to do their unconstitutional dirty work by confiscating weapons from law-abiding Virginians. Recall also, that America’s freedom and liberty owes a tremendous amount to Virginians, including George Washington, the single bravest and by far the greatest American. But Washington was not often a man of words; the great Virginian Patrick Henry, however, always was. “If we wish to be free,” Mr. Henry declared on 23 March 1775,

“if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending–if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained–we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us!” (5)

A final point. My predictions are not often correct, but the quickly rising tide of opposition to Democratic Richmond’s intention to disarm Virginians by force, and so unconstitutionally negate the 2^nd Amendment and make Virginians unable to resist tyranny, makes it as near as possible to a certainty that the national Democratic Party will have to arrange a gun-based slaughter of young, probably school-age Virginians. Such an attack probably will be meant to kill numbers exceeding those that occurred in the arranged slaughters in Las Vegas, Broward County, or San Fernando; this to fuel a temporary wave of unthinking and grieving emotions intended to help Democrats disarm Virginians. Black or white victims will not matter a whit to the Democrats, so my best guess is that either a Christian Christmas Eve service or a post-New Year’s Christian grammar school may well be the most likely targets.

In this case, forewarned is, quite literally, forearmed.

During a recent interview on CBN, I said that it appeared to me that the country could be justifiably judged to be in a state of insurrection. Several internet sites have taken note of the interview, which is surprising as the masters of the internet make my writings and talks quite hard to find.

On several occasions, I sat down to write a blog piece on the insurrection that has been occurring in America since President Trump was elected, and even well before then. On each occasion, I thought “No, this must be obvious to everyone.” The reaction that the video CBN interview has received, however, makes me think a piece on insurrection is in order.

In the winter of 1860-1861 – often called America’s “Secession Winter” – President Lincoln patiently sought to deal with a parade of seceding states, the formation of the Confederate States of America (C.S.A.), and interference with the national government’s activities, such as the mails, and facilities, such as arsenals and naval installations. The certainly must have been other disruptions in the working relationships between the national government and those of the states, and perhaps especially in the functioning of the federal judiciary in the seceded states.

Lincoln and the U.S. Senate worked in their own lanes throughout the winter to try and find a peaceful resolution to the confrontation and the restoration of the Union. That effort came to an end on 12 April 1861 when C.S.A, President Jefferson Davis ordered the bombardment of Fort Sumter, which is located on an island in Charleston’s harbor. The Confederate attack was not a shot across the Union’s bow, but a 24-plus hour attack that reduced parts of the fort to rubble, and caused the fort’s commander to surrender the post. The attack started a brutal, four-year civil war that yielded 620,000 dead combatants, all Americans, all fellow countrymen.

On 15 April 1861, President Lincoln recognized he could no longer deal with secession by reassuring rhetoric and avoiding actions provoking the South, and, of course, the Senate’s peace talks already had ended. On that day, he issued a proclamation calling for 75,000 volunteers to join the U.S. military for the propose of restoring the Union. The proclamation explained, in part,

“By the President of The United States: A Proclamation, 15 April 1861

WHEREAS the laws of the United States have been, for some time past, and now are opposed, and the execution thereof obstructed, in the States of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, by combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or by the powers vested in the marshals by law.

Now, therefore, I, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, President of the United States, in virtue of the power in me vested by the Constitution and the laws, have thought fit to call forth, and hereby do call forth, the militia of the several States of the Union, to the aggregate number of seventy-five thousand, in order to suppress said combinations, and to cause the laws to be duly executed.  …” [1]

Now, we can flash ahead almost 16 decades and see that the republic is now experiencing an insurrection broader, more violent, and far more threatening to the survival of the republic and the Union than anything the C.S.A. did before the attack on Fort Sumter. Most especially, the republic now demands — as Mr. Lincoln wrote — a force that can “cause the laws to be duly executed”. Consider the following three points, two specific and one more general.

–1.) The Union’s contemporary enemies have created “sanctuary” states, cities, and towns for protecting illegal aliens, among them many known criminals, from the application of valid laws passed by the national legislature and signed by the president. In essence, the word sanctuary used in this way amounts to the de facto and, at times, the de jure nullification of the national government’s laws and prevents the executive branch from exercising its obligation – under the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause — to fulfill the terms of the immigration laws. It also prevents the national government form helping to protect the lives and property of those U.S. citizens who are endangered by the nullifiers’ illegal actions to shield murderers, rapists, and child molesters from deportation, as well as their willingness to watch their illegal-alien pets spread several contagious diseases – some deadly — in areas where they are being protected and where those diseases have been absent for much of a century.

Often times, moreover, the authorities who issue sanctuary declarations also use their power to forbid state and/or local law enforcement authorities from assisting the national government’s attempts to enforce the republic’s laws and protect the citizenry. At present, the proliferation of sanctuaries across the nation certainly has created, as Lincoln said, “combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or by the powers vested in the marshals by law.” (NB: The fact is, of course, that the sanctuary movement has been abetted at every step of the way by many Democratic federal, state, and local judges.)

–2.) The state governments of California, Colorado, New York, Washington, and Oregon — and major cities therein — are in the midst of efforts to quite openly dissolve republican governments within their jurisdictions and replace it with socialist-oriented ones. No one seems to mention it, but such an effort at any level of government in the United States is utterly unconstitutional. Article 4, Section 4 of the Constitution says:

“The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened), against domestic Violence.” (2)

This was a question that never came up during the Civil War, as the struggle pitted the world’s two most free and thoroughly republican governments against each other. Quite simply, socialism can never be voted into existence at any governmental level in the United States and, without a constitutional amendment that vitiates Article 4, Section 4, any attempt to do so is an act of insurrection and/or rebellion fully meriting immediate suppression by the Executive Branch using the republic’s military assets. Sanders, Warren, and the Democrats’ other socialists and communists ought to thank goodness that their speech is protected by the 1^st Amendment. They can keep bleating, but any tangible success in their effort to establish a socialist or any other kind of non-republican government in a state, several states, or nationally will earn for the would-be creators of such a hell-on-earth the Constitution’s considerable capacity for wrath. With that righteous wrath will come nooses for those conducting the destruction of republicanism and, should it happen, the jurists who supported that destruction with numerous partisan and unconstitutional legal decisions that facilitated the demise of republicanism.

–3.) The Democratic Party and George Soros and his many organizations are engaged in widespread efforts to destroy American society, a process that has produced untold numbers of unconstitutional, liberty-denying, and abusive actions at the state, county, and local levels.

— Democratic Party-associated judges in the federal judiciary have routinely denied President Trump’s ability to use claims of executive privilege that are constitutionally protected. In addition, Democratic-controlled operatives among the U.S. military’s general officer corps, the federal civil service, the CIA AND FBI, Congressional staffs, and among senior officials at the Departments of State, Defense, and Justice have and are conducting a coup d’état against both President Trump and the Constitution. The perpetrators of this coup also have closely cooperated with multiple foreign powers to overthrow the Trump administration. This last fact alone ensures, praise God, that if the law is followed, their mass arrest, trial, conviction for treason, and execution by hanging ought to be as close to a sure a thing as the fact that night follows day.

–Democratic judges, state and district attorneys, governors, mayors, school boards, and city councils have deliberately cut away portions of the Bill of Rights-guaranteed liberties of the citizens under their jurisdiction. The most common civil-liberty reductions  have occurred in the citizenry’s rights to free speech, peaceful assembly, religion and conscience, and press freedom (especially on the internet and social media), as well as by incrementally abridging the absolute right of U.S. citizens to be armed with weapons of a quality sufficient destroy a tyrannical – that is, under the Constitution – non-republican government.

–The Democratic Party, Soros, and their organizations also have championed every possible form of child abuse across the United States, starting with the murder of 61-plus million infants and the use of the fake “climate science”, manufactured by the UN, Democratic leaders, U.S. universities, NASA, and NOAA, to terrorize children via media outlets and their own teachers. In addition, they are seeking – in cooperation with state and local officials, school boards, and teacher unions – to destroy the self-confidence, self-image, commonsense, and religious faith of this and future generations of children by pushing sexual deviants of every kind into grammar and high schools for a kind of sickening show-and-tell that portrays the glories of sexual perversion and depravity. The authors of these attacks on the minds of our children claim they are teaching understanding and tolerance. Not a chance. Their sole intention is to confuse children, while simultaneously cultivating and recruiting them into a life of sexual perversion and anti-Christianity. While all of this is clear, we have not even begun to unravel the vile and inhuman barbarity against children that has been practiced and protected by Democratic leaders and followers – and certainly some Republicans – and which was managed by their best friend, the child molesting, child trafficking, child torturing, blackmailing, and lifetime Democrat, Jeffrey Epstein.

Led, funded, and pushed by the Democratic Party, the U.S. State Department, and George Soros and his network, today’s America-hating secessionists and nullifiers have done enormously more damage to republicanism, the economy, the citizenry’s health, private property, children, and social cohesion than did the Confederate nation prior to the war-starting attack on Fort Sumter. Indeed, those who have deliberately blocked the lawful execution of the laws by the national government’s Executive branch, have deliberately carved out huge cities that are every bit as much out of the Union as the states of Alabama and Mississippi were in 1861.

On balance, it is easy to recognize that an insurrection is now underway in the United States, one that is far more dangerous to the republic than that conducted by Jefferson Davis and the C.S.A, in 1861-65. Though fierce, lethal, intelligent, and durable enemies, the Confederacy’s political and military leaders were honest, competent, and honorable men; they neither disguised nor lied about what they were up to. In addition, their goal was much the same as that of Lincoln and his colleagues; namely the preservation of republican government in the C.S.A.’s territory.

All of today’s Democratic Party – leaders, members, and supporters — is dedicated to destroying the United States via an insurrection that it has been orchestrating conducting for decades, and which was thrown into high gear when Mr. Trump became a presidential candidate and then president. These people, unlike the C.S.A. leaders, have neither honor, honesty, nor a lick of dedication to the preservation of republican government. The situation President Trump faces today is more dire than that produced by the Southern insurrection that confronted Mr. Lincoln. We must pray that Mr. Trump recognizes this fact in all its ugliness and danger, and that he is prepared to defend the republic and reestablish the blessings of republicanism for all Americans, using, if necessary, the same resolve, means, and ruthlessness manifested by Mr. Lincoln.

In one way, such action will be easier for President Trump than it was for President Lincoln. Lincoln, after all, had to fight and kill his rebelling fellow countrymen — among them members of his extended family — and he and his wife suffered greatly from impact of that brutal reality. President Trump will have no such concern. The republic’s Democratic/Soros enemies cannot be described as “fellow Americans” by any stretch of the imagination. They richly deserve to be, as was said on both sides during the civil war, “hurried down to Hades”, and with the utmost pain that it is possible to inflict.

Here goes:

–1.) President Trump, one can say with confidence, is engaged in trying to complete the other half of Robert Mueller’s job. Mueller found no connection between Mr. Trump and his campaign and Russia, and no obstruction of justice. (NB: No case can be built in U.S. constitutional jurisprudence for saying, as did Mueller, that he cannot indict Trump but cannot exonerate him. Such a statement proves Mueller either is a devious liar or a decidedly addled old man.) Mueller’s findings are conclusive; no Russia ties, no obstruction. These findings, of course, ignored the fact that illegal operations were undertaken by the Democrats — with foreign help — to end candidate Trump’s campaign and, later, to overthrow his presidency. No one among the Muellerites or the Democrats thought this fact was worth investigating.

–2.) The residue left behind by Mueller and his gang of partisans included much regarding Ukraine. These men and women knew that at least some of their framing of Paul Manafort was based on a “black ledger” fabricated by pro-Clinton Ukrainians; that the DNC server was controlled by a company owned by a wealthy Ukrainian, and may have been moved there to be kept away from Comey’s traitorous keystone cops (as if they wanted it); that the U.S. embassy in Kiev was a hive of anti-Trump cooperation between George Soros and his lieutenants and the U.S. State Department under Hillary Clinton and John Kerry; that Ukraine that was largest single donor to the criminal Clinton Foundation; and that numerous senior Ukrainian-government officials were outspokenly pro-Hillary Clinton in 2016. Clearly, this is more than enough to suspect that nothing good happened in Ukraine for Mr. Trump and the United States in 2016 or since, as well as that Ukrainians directly and indirectly sought to prevent Trump’s victory in 2016.

–3.) Now president, Mr. Trump decided to complete the half of the Mueller investigation that Mueller’s traitorous lynch mob left unstarted. Once the just-noted Ukrainian assistance for Hillary Clinton in 2016 was documented; once the video was shown of Joe Biden publicly bragging that he forced the removal of a prosecutor who was investigating crimes committed by a Ukrainian energy company whose Board of Directors included Biden’s son; once it became known for sure – via documents now being published across the globe but not by U.S. mainstream media – that Biden’s son was paid at least $83,000/month even though he had no talent or experience pertinent to the work of an energy company; and once it became known that Biden, his son, members of the Kerry family, and other of their friends also appear to be enjoying $1.5 billion of ill-gotten loot from the Chinese government, Mr. Trump had to act against the Ukraine-based corruption that appears to have been demanded from the Ukrainians by Soros, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and the U.S. State Department.

–4.) It is perfectly obvious, then, that Mr. Trump – as the republic’s chief law enforcement officer – had to move against the Ukrainian oligarchs and criminals who had been dragooned by the Democratic Party, the U.S. State Department, and the U.S. embassy in Kiev (does the odious name Victoria Nuland ring a bell?) to assist them in, first, stealing the 2016 election for Hillary Clinton and, second, to remove the legitimate president of the United States. At this point, Mr. Trump’s Ukraine policy has done immeasurably more to ensure the fairness of the 2020 election, than Comrade Obama ever did to stop what his criminal regime claimed to be Russia’s intervention in 2016. In fact, the Clapper-Brennan-hyped claims of massive Russian intervention in 2016 increasingly look like much ado about not much, and much more like overwrought assertions that provided the groundwork from which to frame and eliminate a presidential candidate and then a fairly elected president.

–5.) Because all of the foregoing is factual, I would maintain that Mr. Trump would have been negligent as the republic’s chief magistrate if he had not sought to ensure that the gangster-led Democratic Party was not able to turn their allied Ukrainian oligarchs, forgers, and thieves against the American people again in the 2020 election. Indeed, Mr. Trump might well have been held accountable at the 2020 polls if he had not moved against the country’s greatest, most lawless, and most disgusting enemies, the Democratic Party and its Ukrainian minions.

A final point, Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler, Schumer, other Democratic criminals, their hired, well-paid media guns, and that ass Romney claim that Mr. Trump went after Ukrainian corruption only because he feared Joe Biden would defeat his reelection bid in 2020. This claim is far beyond absurd and lies on the border of daft. Any person who has seen recent video of Biden the political campaigner – tongue-tied, bleeding from the eyes, unable to recall the second point of a two-point statement, bragging about his old segregationist buddies, projecting the image of a swaggering dazed man, getting publicly angry at his own supporters’ questions, not knowing what state he is visiting, etc. – can easily see that he is as much of an electoral threat to Mr. Trump as a bow-and-arrow would be to an Abrams tank.

I once wrote in this space that Joe Biden was the pale shadow of a former nothing. I hereby apologize for vastly over-rating him.
