Michael Scheuer | Non-Intervention

Mr. President, why is it that we are seeing a growing squad of Neocons/Israel-Firsters in your administration? As the only thing most of us have to go on are the past performances of these men, it is hard to see what in the world they would or could contribute to an America First foreign policy. Bolton, Abrams, Khalilzad, and, now, the increasingly interventionist Pampeo are all on hand to cock things up. Is it wise to send men who labored long and hard to cause, and then prolong, all of the desperately stupid and unnecessary wars in which we are now involved? There is not much you can so about the Neocons in Congress — like Senator McConnell — who oppose an America First policy, and want the Clinton-Bush-Obama wars to continue. But why, Sir, would you retain the republic’s enemies to conduct your foreign policy?

Most of these wretches are also men who will do America any harm that is necessary to ensure that Israel’s interests are served. Can Americans really believe that these men will steer an America First course?  Mr. President, collusion with a foreign power can be described in three simple words — “Bolton, Abrams, Kahlilzad”. There is always the chance, of course, that you intend to set up these enemies of the United States so that you can fire them on an issue that will demonstrate their war-mongering and alienation from genuine U.S. national security interests. That seems a bit of stretch, however.

The future of your American First foreign policy, Sir, seems pretty grim at the moment. The following paragraphs are simple recapitulations of media stories showing the inappropriateness of putting Neocons and Israel Firsters in the van of the conduct of your foreign policy. Again, here is nothing you can do about McConnell’s war-wanting, but you can ensure that the other men mentioned above and below play no part in prosecuting the republic’s foreign policy

–On Syria: On 29 January 2019, Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell announced his opposition to President Trump’s decision to withdraw all U.S. forces from Syria, as well as his intention to pass some sort of Senate resolution on the issue. In the radio-sound clip I heard, McConnell said he wanted the president to halt the withdrawal so that “our friends”, Israel and Jordan, know we were not abandoning them. Once again, the myriad disloyal Jewish-American leaders and their organizations are quietly squeezing the hundreds they have suborned in Congress to do everything possible to defeat the president’s plans and prolong the damage being done to the republic. And, once again, McConnell and his colleagues are showing all citizens that it is ultimately Israel and its Jewish-American friends that decide how long America’s soldier-children remain in harm’s way in the Middle East, endlessly fighting wars that were lost long ago, and ones that have absolutely nothing to do with genuine U.S. national security.

No border wall, no Obama Care repeal, but, for the Neocons in Congress and out, there are always plenty of tax dollars and lives and limbs of U.S. Marines and soldiers to expend on Israel’s behalf.

–On Afghanistan: President Trump’s growing team of aged but still war-mongering Neocons has been augmented by – God help the republic — another Neocon by the name of Zalmay Khalilzad, who is the State Department’s Special Representative for Afghanistan Reconciliation. Kahilzad is an ethnic Afghan and has been working on “Afghan affairs” almost since the Afghan Mujahedin first took the field against Moscow’s puppet communist Afghan regime in 1977-78. The remarkable thing about Khalilzad is that, although born an Afghan, he has never seemed to know anything about the country except its language. Since the USSR invaded Afghanistan in 1979, Khalizad has recommended policies that have been too often followed, though they have been reliably devoid of commonsense and always damaged U.S. national security.

During the mujahedin’s war against the Soviets and their Afghan communist proxies, for example, Khalilzad and all of the State Department supported those Afghan insurgents who were correctly described as “Gucci guerrillas”. The name was awarded to them because they spent little or no time on the battlefield, being too busy begging for U.S. money, running dope, and slipping away for vacations and personal security in the Gulf, Europe, or India.

The Guccis, however, had the great advantages of being fairly well kempt, usually spoke at least fair English, had traveled outside Afghanistan, and, on occasion, were even known to wear Western-style suits. Khailzad pushed these thieving frauds forward to U.S. leaders and, being the type of foreigners (well-coiffed, English speaking, and tie-wearing) that can always wrap U.S. politicians around their finger, and succeeded – with other democracy-mongers like Robert Oakley, his wife, and Peter Tomsen– in persuading the first Bush administration that these militarily incompetent insurgents were superb politicians who could form a sturdy and durable democratic government in Afghanistan.

As a result, the first Bush administration – which detested the stubbornness and deep faith of the mujahedin who actually fought and died to force the Red Army’s withdrawal – stayed in Afghanistan to build a “Jeffersonian Democracy on the Kabul River”, as the saying then went. Joining it were the UN, the British and German governments, and the lethal plague that fell on Afghans in the form of the myriad Western NGOs who showed up to grab as many U.S. dollars as they could, while teaching Afghans to be good, secular, and libertine Westerners. Needless to say, the end result of the advice Khalizad gave, and his buddies acted upon, was predictable. It yielded the birth and eventual political and military dominance of the Taleban, and created the essential safe haven for Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda. After that disaster occurred, Khalizad shilled for international oil companies to persuade Taleban leaders to allow the construction of energy pipelines through Afghanistan. (1)

The only commonsense U.S. government decision after the Soviet withdrawal in 1989, and, then, the 1992 defeat of the Afghan communists, would have been to pull up stakes run like hell to North America. With Western diplomats and the UN out of the way, the Afghans would have settled their affairs using the same means they successfully have employed for over 2,000 years. A decision to cut and run is the one President Trump should make today, right after he reaches out and gives Khalizad both a boot in the ass and his walking papers.

As if the idea Khalizad representing U.S. national-security interests is not absurd enough, another Neocon named Ryan Crocker has raised his head and published as stupid an assessment of “U.S. success” in Afghanistan as is possible to imagine. Crocker was the first U.S. ambassador in Afghanistan after 9/11 and, in his 29 January 2019 piece in an outlet called Trib Live, (2) he says nothing about the many billions of dollars that simply disappeared while he and his successors ran the show in Kabul.  The same pattern of behavior, of course, occurred during the tenures of multiple U.S. ambassadors in Iraq. He also says nothing about the following facts:

–The Taleban holds more Afghan territory today than ever before.

–After an 18-year U.S. presence military in Afghanistan, the capital of Kabul is largely open to mujahedin attack.

–Afghanistan, today, remains the world’s biggest and most efficient producer/exporter of heroin.

–Since 2001, The Afghan people have proven that no matter how many governments they elect, each will be incompetent, tribal-rivalry ridden, and staffed by a crew of spectacularly skilled thieves, extortionists, and narcotics-and-people smugglers.

–The Afghan military, after 15 years of training and equipping by the U.S. and NATO militaries, cannot defend the country, or even its capital.

–The failed and miserably administered de facto U.S. occupation of Afghanistan, which was designed by Crocker, his ambassadorial successors, and the State Department, has now made Afghanistan a safe and growing haven for the Taleban, the Islamic State, a rebuilding al-Qaeda, and Pakistani and other foreign Islamists.

So, what constitutes the “U.S. success” in Afghanistan according to Crocker? He spends the bulk of his article explaining that the world’s only Superpower worked hard in Afghanistan not to win, but to – wait for it – cultivate women’s rights and feminism. “The Afghan people had suffered enormously through the civil war that began in the late 1970s and the tyranny of the Taliban that followed, Corker writes, “and [n]one had suffered more than Afghan women and girls.” This is Crocker’s justification for continuing a long-lost war in Afghanistan, and continuing the production of wasted billions of dollars and dead and maimed U.S. Marines and soldiers. Crocker continues his justification and even seems to support Joe Biden for the 2020 election.

“I remember taking our first congressional visitor, Joe Biden, D-Del., who was then chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, to visit a girls’ school that we had helped to open. A first-grade class that Biden visited had students from 6 to 12. The older girls had reached school age when the Taliban was in power, so they had been denied an education. They weren’t embarrassed now to be in a class with children half their age — they were just happy to be learning.”

“At the end of Taliban rule, about 900,000 children were in school, all of them boys. When I left Afghanistan as ambassador in 2012, there were 8 million students, 40 percent of them girls.”(NB: This is likely a lie. The Afghan government does not appear to control enough territory in Afghanistan in which to find eight-million youngsters to educate. You might get to a total of eight-million students if you include the schools run by the Taleban, al-Qaeda, the Islamic State, the Saudi and Gulf governments, and myriad, mostly radical Islamic NGOs.)

“We also encouraged Afghan women to play their rightful roles in business, in the Legislature, elsewhere in government and in the military, and they did. The implicit message was that if you step forward, we’ve got your back. It was a time when American interests and American values were in harmony. I hosted receptions to recognize Afghan women of courage. Through the U.S. Agency for International Development, we funded efforts to establish shelters for women fleeing spousal or other familial abuse — a reminder that in Afghanistan’s male-dominated society, it wasn’t only the Taliban who threatened women’s safety.”

Crocker clearly is mad – or, more likely, cynically deceitful – when he claims that this kind of achievement amounts to even a marginal success for any genuine U.S. national-security concern. For the U.S. national government, the only place on earth where ensuring women are full citizens is a genuine national-security interest is in the United States. What Crocker has described is a Democratic Party talking point that gives their politicians and the Neocons a chance to hawk Crocker’s nonsense as a compelling reason for “staying the course in Afghanistan”. Reflect for a moment, if you will, on what should be a hanging offense; namely, the sending of U.S. Marines and soldiers to fight and die for the rights the American governing elite wants to impose by force on foreign peoples.

There is, however, one point on which Crocker hits the nail’s head:

“Now, the United States is negotiating directly with the Taliban. A framework agreement was announced on Monday calling for a cease-fire that could lead to the full withdrawal of U.S. troops. The framework was reached without the involvement of the Afghan government. … By acceding to this Taliban demand, we have ourselves delegitimized the government we claim to support.  This current process bears an unfortunate resemblance to the Paris peace talks during the Vietnam War. Then, as now, it was clear that we were just negotiating the terms of our surrender. The Taliban will offer any number of commitments, knowing that when we are gone and the Taliban is back, we will have no means of enforcing any of them.”

Crocker is exactly right on this point, but he is blind to its accuracy because – like all Neocons – he wants the republic to stay in Afghanistan and lusts for more democracy-mongering and its only tool of installation, offensive war. A policy that produces, as cover for scurrying home to North America, the creation of “coalition Afghan regime” is exactly the America-First tack that the Trump administration must pursue. Since the Soviet invasion of 1979 there never has been a single point in time at which a credible coalition governing arrangement was possible. Perhaps better than any other people on earth, Afghans realize that power is the only universal value, and that those who have it win and survive, those who lose it are dead or emigres.

Whether it was the Russians, the Afghan communists, the Islamist mujahedin, the claptrap, thieving U.S.-NATO-UN-crafted Afghan regimes, the Taleban, or now the Islamic State, there never has been, nor will there ever be, a powerful Afghan entity that will have the slightest intention of genuinely sharing power with other Afghan entities. Today, as Crocker notes, the Taleban will be happy to accept a coalition with the current Afghan government, play well with its coalition partner(s) until NATO and U.S. forces are gone, and then wipe them out and try – with the help of Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, et. al — to hold power against the growing Islamic State presence in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and, just around the corner, the advance of Chinese military power, and the savage and ultimately losing war Beijing will have to wage to try to build the illusory dream China calls the One Belt, One Road Project.

Get out of Syria and Afghanistan, Mr. President. Your instincts were the right ones during the 2016 campaign and they helped get you elected. Stick to them now, Sir, and you will win not only the support, but the affection of those Americans who have long opposed the enormous waste of lives and money in unnecessary and always losing interventionist wars. Unlike the bloated egos and arrogance of the U.S. governing elite, the egos of most Americans do not need to have their republic be “the great, shining city on the hill” for the rest of the world, they only need it to be that for themselves and their families, as something to live up to, not as a commodity to be exported by military force.

So, Mr. President, go ahead, let Syria be for the Syrians, and let Afghanistan be for the Afghans. Let both make of their lands what they wish, to the extent they can. But in the name of God, Sir, for the first time since 1945 let America once again be for Americans, and permit the citizenry to restore the republic as they see fit, and in a form that pleases them. May I say, Sir, that this does not seem to be a lot to ask, and it is in your grasp to provide. End these unnecessary wars.

In surveying a possible answers to the question “Why does Venezuela matter of the United States?”, it is difficult to come up with an answer that does not begin with the word “oil”. Because Maduro has mostly completed the ruination of Venezuela’s economy – especially the oil sector — so ably begun by Hugo Chavez, U.S. oil companies probably are pushing the Trump administration to intervene and create a U.S.-picked Venezuelan president and regime to repay what U.S. oil corporations are owed, and so that the companies themselves can pick up the remnants of the Venezuelan oil industry ‘s facilities for pennies on the dollar.

When the oil industry is calling the tune, all U.S. presidents and vice-presidents must dance its dance. But they cover their lapdog-obedience with rhetoric about the “illegitimacy of the Maduro regime”, the “need for new elections”, the “vast sufferings of the Venezuelan people”, and, of course, the “need to reinstall freedom and democracy” in that country. Whenever the leaders of the national government are trying to persuade Americans that the republic needs another unnecessary war, they wheel out the language of values and abstract theories, neither of which have any legitimate role to play in the formulation of an effective America First foreign policy.

The plain fact is that the United States is cordially hated throughout the nations lying south of the Rio Grande. And why is that, one may ask? The answer, naturally enough, is more than 150-years of unnecessary U.S. government-conducted overt and covert political, economic, and military interventionism in the region. The reason current South American leaders are applauding Vice-President Pence’s appallingly non-America First rhetoric is that Chavez and Maduro have been royal pains in the butt for much of South America, and the leaders of the impacted countries want American blood and money to end their pain. If that is done, they will soon return to America-hating, a tradition of many decades standing.

Beyond that reality, however, is the fact that Spain once ruled almost all of the territory south of the Rio Grande as a colonial empire, plus a good deal of land north of it. As night follows day, the Spanish proved to be horrible governors who were always armed with a chronic inability to govern as anything other than authoritarians. This style of dictatorial rule was left behind for the locals to employ when the fading Spanish empire retreated to Europe. And employ it they have, to the point that, today, there is no reason to believe that South Americans will ever be capable of self-rule and thereby stop the endless stream of strong-man rulers the citizenry either elects or submits to, then suffers under until a new strong man comes along, gains power, and abuses them, and then the cycle begins again. (NB: On this point, see the new  governments in Mexico and California.) This seemingly genetic lack of talent for self-government, frequent preference for a rule-by-strongman, and patent inability to understand the workings of democracy and the rule of law, are precisely the reasons that the United States needs very few – if any — immigrants from former Spanish colonies anywhere in the world.

But what will follow the crocodile tears caused by speeches from Vice-President Pence, Secretary of State Pompeo, National Security Adviser Bolton, and other Neocons about Venezuela’s hungry and suffering people, their ruthless leaders, and its ruined economy, all of which were meant to jerk tears, sympathy, and support from the parents and spouses of America’s soldier-children who would be killed and maimed if the Trump Neocons militarily intervene in Venezuela? The answer to what is next on tap is both obvious and pathetic: invoke the Monroe Doctrine

Murmurings about this sainted policy already are being heard, and they gradually will rise to a crescendo. The citizenry will be told that Chavez and Maduro have allied with the regimes of America’s deadliest enemies – Russia, China, and Iran and its Hezbollah surrogate — and that Maduro is preparing to allow them an undefined “physical presence” in Venezuela, beyond their current diplomatic establishments. After these likely-to-be-unverifiable assertions, Pence or the lamentable John Bolton will claim that a larger presence of Russia, China, and Iran/Hezbollah constitutes a direct challenge to the Monroe Doctrine, and thus to the United States and all of the Western Hemisphere.

Now, it is correct to say that the publication of Monroe Doctrine in 1823 was meant to warn Europe against further attempts to colonize or recolonize South America. Succeeding U.S. administrations applied it against would-be European interlopers until the Carter administration ignored the Monroe Doctrine, gave the Panama Canal to Panama, and knowingly allowed the start of that country’s evolution into a Chinese economic colony.

But since Carter’s hapless presidency, what can be said about what U.S. administrations have done to ensure the world knows not only that the Monroe Doctrine is still in force, but that it will be enforced? The evidence seems to show that the answer is nothing

While Vice-President Pence and his Neocon brothers wail about the horrors of Maduro’s rule and the danger it poses to the United States, all post-Carter U.S. administrations have done nothing to enforce the Monroe Doctrine against the informal economic, political, and religious colonies that Russia, China, Iran, and the Gulf Arab tyrants have set up in Latin and South America.

–China has been in this van of informal colonization through investment; monetary and military aid in the region; purchases of land and businesses; highly publicized visits by senior leaders; and repeated health-care dispensing and good-will building visits by the Chinese navy’s hospital ships.

–Russia, far less economically powerful than China, cannily has taken advantage of fleeting opportunities to put a needle in Uncle Sam’s eye by such actions as sending two nuclear-capable aircraft on a visit to Venezuela and, last week, warning the United States not to intervene in the ongoing process of self-determination in Venezuela. The only mistake Moscow made on this last point is its failure to know that, save for Dr. Ron Paul and, at times, Senator Rand Paul, no prominent American politician has any idea of what genuine self-determination means, nor of the enormous dangers and losses that have accrued to the American people because their government uses the concept as justification for U.S. military interventionism.

–Iran, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards, a dozen or more Iranian media, health, and agricultural organizations, and Hezbollah have been quietly active in Venezuela and across the region almost since the Shia clerics seized power. Although a pauper-state compared to China and Russia, Iran has built an effective and wide-ranging network of small economic, military, terrorist, commercial, propaganda, religious, and humanitarian beachheads across the region, perhaps funded via the narcotics trade in which Tehran regime and its military and intelligence services participate in many areas of the world.

–The Saudis and their fellow Gulf Arab tyrants have built a strong and loyal following among the region’s growing Sunni population, just as Iran has among the Shia population, via their humanitarian aid and proselytizing. The Arabs have invested heavily in the region and have built several of the world’s largest and most ornate mosques there. Both the Arab and Iranian regimes also bring considerable numbers of young Latin American Muslims to study in their religious universities. These men then return home to spread the faith and anti-Americanism; serve as eyes and ears on the ground for Iran and Saudi Arabia; and to help facilitate the covert operations of each.

The foregoing, on balance, are dangers to the United States that multiple U.S. administrations and politicians have nurtured without any credible attempt to cite and enforce the Monroe Doctrine, which, as noted, is the tool created to resist formal and informal foreign colonization in the Western Hemisphere. They also have kept silent about the Doctrine and its meaning while the Chinese and Russian regimes continue to use and expand their Cuba-based signals-intelligence collection facilities which target U.S. military, economic, banking, government, and political entities.

In addition, the same U.S. administrations have deep-sixed the Monroe Doctrine at home by supinely allowing China to create informal colonies inside the United States. Beijing is purchasing technology companies in the United States; placing branches of its own companies in America that are profitable and steal U.S. intellectual property; acquiring tracts of land in the continental United States; and making large donations to U.S. universities to support leftist and increasingly radical professors and the courses they offer to cultivate socialism and communism among U.S. students.

In the context of the untold amount of post-1970 national-security damage already inflicted on the republic by the U.S. government’s estrangement from the Monroe Doctrine, the manic, war-mongering statements by Pence, Pompeo, Bolton, and, now, Israel-First’s felonious clown-of-clowns, Elliot Abrams. about “America’s duty” to help hungry and oppressed Venezuelans are nonsense bordering on madness. These men are concerned with Venezuela mainly because the U.S. oil industry is eager to recoup its losses in Venezuela and to buy up — on-the-cheap — the remnants of that country’s decaying oil-producing facilities. The list of names also suggests that these men are pursuing some unnamed Israeli interest.

Venezuelans will have self-determination only if they choose to have it and are willing to fight for its attainment, a process likely to be arduous, long, and bloody. They will never have it via a U.S. military intervention, which will only yield a long-term U.S. military presence and bases in the country, further drain the already bankrupt U.S. treasury, kill more U.S. soldier-children, and again make Venezuela and the region safe for hating the U.S.government and its interventionism.

The Monroe Doctrine and the defensive shield it long provided are now shredded and dead beyond resuscitation. It was knowingly killed by the leaders from both parties that Americans have elected since 1970. Today, citizens must not allow themselves to be duped into believing that the corpse of the Monroe Doctrine is relevant, and that, to be patriots, they must stride down the path to intervention and war in Venezuela that is being paved for them by Trump’s growing crowd of reprehensible Neocon pukes, their lust for unnecessary wars, and their utter lack of concern about how many U.S. military personnel would be killed or maimed in a war wanted only by the U.S. oil industry and the anti-America-First, Neocon clique.

My preference was for President Trump to have declared a national emergency on 19 January 2019, and then ordered the U.S. military and the Corps of Engineers to immediately complete the construction of an effective wall along the entire length of the southern border. Indeed, if such a declaration was likely to have been hamstrung indefinitely by the federal courts, I would have – with regret and deep concern – supported a presidential declaration of martial law for the period necessary to complete construction. Nearly 80,000 narcotics-killed Americans in 2018 – most from drugs brought in over the southern border – strikes me as an emergency requiring and justifying such action. The border wall also would greatly reduce the ease of trafficking children into and out of the United States, a trafficking meant to harvest blood and body parts from children, and to supply the Democratic Party, the Tech Barons, Hollywood, and, apparently, much of the bipartisan governing elite with the human material required to satisfy their pedophilic appetites.

Sadly, but probably wisely, President Trump made one more detailed and well-publicized attempt to make a deal with the Democrats by offering to fulfill many of their immigration demands in return for funding for reliable border security. Speaker Pelosi, apparently drunk early in the day and unaware that the president’s speech had been shifted from 3PM to 4PM – he had to travel to Dover Air Force Base to meet the Americans recently killed in the Obama-Clinton War in Syria – declared that Trump’s offer was “dead on arrival” even before he spoke.

So, we stand today where we have stood for fifty years, with the Democrats welcoming illegal aliens who: (a) can be bribed with the citizenry’s taxes to vote for them in perpetuity; (b) can flood the country with narcotics, unwanted cultures, and foreign languages meant to destroy traditional American culture, social mores, and erase the republic’s history; and (c) can expand the manpower of the foreign criminal gangs that already are merrily raping, murdering, and dismembering U.S. citizens. Quite simply, this increasingly bloody, fifty-year, Democrat-sponsored tragedy must be stopped now by law or by arms.

There is no commonsense, legal, constitutional, or moral excuse for allowing anyone who is abetting this ongoing human and cultural slaughter of America to remain in office, or, perhaps, even to remain alive. Why should any American die, be raped, addicted, or dismembered; be robbed; or have their children kidnapped for body parts or rape because Democratic politicians, their party organizations, their media apologists, and their increasingly fascistic voters prefer the Americans they disagree with to be dead, raped, cut up, or robbed in the name of one or another of their demented abstract theories, such as the society-killers called multiculturalism and diversity? This is not politics in any acceptable sense of this word. This is knowing and deliberate slaughter, and surely merits the elimination of those who have, and intend to continue to make the slaughter possible.

President Trump may yet pull a completed and peaceful border-security deal out of his hat, but I doubt it. He probably already is confident that the degenerate, libertine, feminism-mad, America-hating, pedophilia-loving Democrats are not going to cooperate in the name of saving the republic and the lives of citizens about who they do not give a damn. President Trump will be confronted – or is he already? – by only the two obvious legal choices: a declaration of national emergency or the imposition of martial law. But if he does not implement either option, and rather fecklessly continues to appeal to the Democrats for help, what is to be done?

The answer is, obviously, for those American men who will no longer tolerate the Democrats’ political manifesto of death and depravity to take matters in their own hands and end the Democrats’ cruel and murderous policy of holding the republic’s citizenry hostage to their wishes, no matter the cost in American lives and treasure.

It is time for the many American men who still possess the treasure known as traditional masculinity to rid this now-failing republic of Pelosi’s toxic tide of soy-boys; ancient, girly-men like Sanders, Biden, and Hoyer; vile, pussy-hat adorned, cursing, and usually ugly feminists; illegal aliens; the MS-13 criminals Pelsoi calls “God’s children”; the rancid brigade of multi-gender mongrels; the tribe of sexual deviants; the fake-science, climate-change lunatics; teachers who are political indoctrinators; all the mainstream media; the American history destroyers/statue-demolishers; doctors grown rich by murdering the unborn; the anti-gun and anti-free speech fascists; the Christian-haters, especially those in the Congress, Senate, and the judiciary; the Tech Barons and their lieutenants now warring against the Bill of Rights by eliminating conservatives from social-media networks; the Neocons, now rightly relocated to party of death and perversion, and any of the other freak and anti-human shows that now make all things Democratic lethal threats to the republic’s survival.

Individually, few of the above-named lunatic causes would, by itself, merit targeted elimination. They would all die from haplessness, ridicule, and the citizenry’s commonsense. What demands their annihilation is their control by the Democratic Party, thereby making that party an obstructionist and death-happy organization whose only products are dead Americans, national bankruptcy, and the ruination of the constitutional republic. Just as a hundred or so Bolsheviks created the USSR, and a minority National Socialist’ government created the Third Reich, this accumulation of deranged freak groups are now pressing the republic toward transformation into an anti-human, lawless, and arbitrary regime; that is a “progressive” government.

If the Trump administration cannot rid the republic of the social, political, and economic pestilence deliberately bred within the Democratic Party and then spread throughout urban and, increasingly, suburban America, the last chance for America lies today where it has lain since Lexington, Gettysburg, Bastogne, and Iwo Jima; that is, in the hands of men who are quiet, stoic, patient, stubborn, polite, armed, Christian, brave, adventurous, commonsense-prone, law-abiding, and liberty-loving. Another attribute of these men, of course, is their expectation that the Constitution and the laws based on it must be applied fairly to all and favor no individuals or powerful cliques, and when that condition does not exist, the time is right to reestablish the equitable rule of law, by force if necessary.

The Democrats and their panoply of the freakish, the depraved, and the criminal have, for at least half–a-century, sorely tried the patience of men of traditional masculinity by what Democratic civil servants have taught their children; by their leaders’ damning and undermining of Christianity; by closing down free speech with multiple tech tools; by murdering infants to the tune of 60 million-plus; by declaring sexual depravity to be the new normal; by flooding the country with criminals, narcotics, and human smugglers; by launching pedophile attacks on children; and, most recently, by demanding death-by-wood-chipper for white, teenage, right-to-life male marchers because they wore MAGA caps.

There is no possible reason for Americans to put up with this any longer. Trump must tell Americans that not only the mainstream media but also the Democrats and all those associated with them are the lethal enemies of the American people and their families, children, Constitution, and republic. This is a very clear and very dangerous situation, Mr. President, and the citizenry needs to hear the facts from you, and how you plan to preserve the republic   by applying the law against these enemies to the most severe extent possible.

Do it President Trump, and do it soon. The thing about traditional masculinity is that it quietly and patiently absorbs abuse, threats, legal favoritism for the Democrats’ freaks, and the refusal of the police to protect the innocent from the Democrats’ paramilitary killing organizations, but it will not do so forever. When enough becomes enough, the result be the unexpected and violent application of traditional-turned-to-lethal masculinity that is far more to be feared than the Democrat’s fantasy about a toxic variety.

Use the proper laws and act soon, Mr. President, or we will end this plague ourselves. By the use of an orderly constitutional scalpel, or by the resolve and savagery of an armed male citizenry, Mr. President, the deadly Democratic scourge that is killing the country is nearing termination. Peace or civil war, Sir, is now up to your actions, or to Mr. Jefferson’s guidance.

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.

As if FOX’s Brian Kilmeade’s daily rant, and General Jack Keane’s periodic rants, in support of endless U.S. interventionist wars are not enough, yesterday FOX’s Dana Perino chimed in with an interview of a U.S. military veteran – I did not catch his name — about the 16 January 2016 attack that killed and wounded multiple U.S. military personnel and contractors in Syria. This attack reportedly has been claimed by the Islamic State’s (IS) media arm.

Perino was at her George W. Bush-butt-licking best, repeating his endless and mindless mantra that we must remain at war because we cannot let these U.S. personnel “die in vain”. The military veteran, off course, agreed with Perino, and then slipped into the same simpering, Bush/Perino-esque sentimentality, saying we cannot let these men “die in vain” and then wheeled out the Bush regime’s sadly durable lie that the war against the Islamists is a “long generational and ideological war” that cannot be won quickly. This maudlin hero of the battlefield finished by again repeating “they must not have died in vain”, meaning – based on his and Perino’s half-ass remarks – that the forever war against the Islamic State, al-Qaeda, and other Islamists must continue so “we can kill them over there and not here at home.”

The foregoing is one-hundred percent nonsense, which is believed only by those who want to keep America at war forever, among whom seem to be the leaders of FOX News. The interviewed veteran, in particular, was so dense – or so deliberately deceitful — that he did not seem to realize that his plea that “they must not have died in vain” will simply condemn more U.S. Marines and soldiers to the same vain deaths that all killed-in-action U.S. military personnel have been led to by their presidents and generals since 9/11.

Three other quick points.

–1.) The U.S. military and civilian personnel who were just killed in Syria, were killed because they were intervening in Syrian affairs on the orders of the U.S. government. Their activities there did absolutely nothing to prevent another attack in the United States. What their presence in Syria did was to remind the Islamists, and those who sympathize with them, that the U.S. government continues to militarily intervene in Islamic nations, and thereafter tries to impose-by-force on Muslims the democracy, secularism, elections, deviant sexuality, and women’s rights that they long since have proven willing to fight to the death. This is simple really. If you want to stop the killing and maiming of U.S. military personnel in Syria, get them out of Syria immediately, and then out of Iraq and Afghanistan as well.

If you want to make sure that the Islamists do not come to the continental United States to attack, immediately build a concrete and/or steel wall along the entire length of the southern border, and immediately locate, round-up, and expel all Muslims who are in this country illegally. Both should have been done right after 9/11, both must be done now. The failure to do is explicable only by recognizing that the bipartisan U.S. governing elite loves to see those they consider lesser Americans die at home and abroad, be it from war or opioids. The only additional defense the republic would need against the Islamists would be to remove the U.S. military from combat roles in all Muslim countries. Absence, after all, may not always make the heart grow fonder, but it does lessen the enemy’s focus, dulls his perception of threat, and allows him to address pressing issues closer to home, especially Israel and tyrant Arab rulers.

–2.) There is nothing inherent in so-called “ideological” or “religious” wars that mandates that they must last for generations. This is a myth created by the Clintons, the Bushes, Obama, U.S. general officers, Neocons, Israel-Firsters, and Jewish-American journalists. These men and women want everlasting wars, but they do not want a final victory because that would derail the gravy train from which they and their elite friends have grown filthy rich since Pearl Harbor.

Any kind of American war – including ideological, religious, and guerrilla wars – can be won in fairly short order if (a) the United States intends to win them, and if (b) the United States wages an all-out war that delivers massive indiscriminate violence and destruction upon the enemy, his civilian supporters, their manufacturing facilities, and their infrastructure.

In the ideological war of 1941-1945, the United States and Russia used this tack to utterly destroy the Nazi ideology and its military manifestation that had pervaded Germany and dominated much of Europe. In the 1941-1945 religious war against the Imperial Japanese military and people, led by a god named Hirohito, the United States used the same tack, plus the God-given traditional masculinity of the astounding and marvelously lethal U.S. Marine Corps, to destroy the deeply racist Japanese religiosity that sought to enslave most of Asia.

–For the United States, long wars occur only when the U.S. governing elite, its kept media, and its unable-to-win generals want them to; when none of them gives a damn about wasted funds, national debt, or body and limb counts; and when they can make average Americans believe the insane idea that the lives of any number of foreigners waging or supporting war against the republic is worth the of a single American life.

–3.) How much did it cost the Democrats/Neocons to fund their Islamic State friends for the operation that killed those U.S. soldiers and contractors in Syria, just after President Trump ordered a U.S. withdrawal from that country? How much support did John Brennan and his brother British MI6 maggots provide to the Islamist killers of the Americans? As they say, inquiring minds …

The intense hatred of the bipartisan U.S. governing elite for the citizenry is overwhelming. It simply cannot be either overstated or over reacted to. Hatred of this sort cannot be tempered or renounced, it must be eradicated root and branch by any means necessary, even hate-filled Democrat by hate-filled Democrat if only that action can turn the trick. Some examples?

–1.) On 9 January 2016, FOX News interviewed a Republican congressman — I was listening while driving and did not catch his name — who said he opposed using Defense Department funds for creating effective southern border defense. That is, no DoD dollars should be used for defending the security and sovereignty of the continental United States. Only in America could elected representatives and senior generals believe it is not the U.S. military’s job to protect the citizenry and maintain full U.S. sovereignty in North America. This is the kind of bone-deep, citizen-killing, and asinine stupidity that would make Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez proud, perhaps even envious.

–2.) The Democrats want $30 billion for foreign aid, but none for a border wall. There is no clearer evidence of the U.S. governing elite’s post-1945 malign hatred for U.S. citizens then in the unimaginably vast amount of U.S. taxpayer funds that the national government has given – most never accounted for – to foreign leaders and countries who are not worth a tinker’s damn in so far as the security and prosperity of Americans are concerned. Foreign aid and foreign-military aid have denied Americans border protection, infrastructure modernization, and lower taxes. They also have bred overseas commitments that have led to unnecessary, casualty-filled, and bankrupting wars.

–3.) Florida Senator Marco Rubio, told a FOX News interviewer on 9 January 2019, that he was an “unabashed supporter” of Israel, and went on to identify any U.S. citizen who questions the national government’s $38 billion allotment for Israel, or that country’s suborning of most of the U.S. Congress – including Rubio himself – as a person who must be placed in the anti-Semite category. Rubio was especially upset by any U.S. citizen who suggests that many leading Jewish-Americans and their organizations have given their first allegiance to Israel, rather than to the United States. This, for Rubio, is blazing anti-Semitism. What Rubio said, in essence, was that Americans have been designated by one divinity or another to bleed, pay, and war on Israel’s behalf; to allow their national government and political system to be corrupted by Israel and its Jewish-American operatives; and to allow themselves to be damned as anti-Semites, lesser human beings, and madmen, by politicians who – like Rubio – live comfortably on the salaries they take from American taxpayers and the campaign contributions (bribes) they receive from Israel and disloyal Jewish-Americans.

–4.) The so-called new Democrats are an abysmal mixture of misfits, the brain dead, society’s dregs, and the leading lights of contemporary feminism. Indeed, just four names – Kamala Harris, Kyrsten Sinema, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, and Rashida Tlaib – hit on a combination of such traits and show the ongoing and accelerating decline in quality, maturity, and intelligence of female Democratic politicians. After fifty years of the Democrats’ unending, always whining nonsense about women’s-rights – recently topped off by the band of conniving, money-hungry, sleep-around liars who attacked Justice Kavanaugh, with the aid of addled Democratic senators — the bankruptcy of the women’s right movement is clear and definitive. In a half-century, the Democrats’ have won for women the right to murder human beings – making them ten times more deadly than Hitler — and gave them the absurd expectation that a hyper-slut lifestyle would get respect from all. Harris, Sinema, Cortez, and Tlaib are an omen of good things to come; namely, the self-immolation of the Democratic Party and the reasserted prominence of the great majority of American women who can fend for themselves, compete as equals with men, and better them, and succeed at home or at work – as they choose — without behaving like Harris, Sinema, Cortez, and Tlaib. The Democrat hierarchy’s hatred for average Americans – as expressed in the deviant, crazed, and/or dangerously low-IQ individuals they select as candidates – is another reason they will not retake the White House, even if they win the 2020 presidential election after subverting it to ensure that result.

–5.) Much of the bipartisan U.S. governing elite has closed ranks to oppose the withdrawal of U.S. military personnel from Syria and, eventually, Afghanistan and Iraq. Asked why do they want to stay, they answer: (a) To protect the Kurds, who are our allies. No, the Kurds are America’s mercenaries. Many are also communists and terrorists, who have killed and murdered thousands of Turks over multiple decades, and against whom U.S. and Western intelligence services have, during that period, helped the Turkish services to try to destroy the Kurd communists; (b) To stop Iranian expansion in the region. Right, Tehran does not have a pot to piss in, but they are going to control the Near East, even though they are outnumbered by Sunnis by about 20 to 1. The Iranian boogie man is getting laughable, but it is still successfully used by Neocons and Israel Firsters –none more so than the anti-Trump, soon-to-be-dumped, war-monger John Bolton — to get U.S. military personnel killed and maimed, and U.S. taxpayer funds wasted, for the sole purpose of protecting Israel; (c) To protect Israel, “our ally and the only Middle East democracy”. This crap, of course, has been cited as the guiding principle for U.S. Middle East policy since the mid-1970s; it was a joke then – just after Israel deliberately attacked and nearly destroyed the U.S. Navy ship Liberty and killed more than 70 of her crew – and it is sick joke now as U.S. money and lives are wasted in the Middle East so the wholly suborned U.S. Congress and senior civil service can continue to earn campaign contributions (bribes), payments for spying for Israel, and post-retirement stipends. There is no reason for the U.S. military to be in Syria, Afghanistan, or Iraq – those wars have long been lost, peace is impossible, and reconstruction means nothing but more wasted U.S. funds — save for two things: (a) the greed of the just noted individuals, and (b) the allegiance of the just mentioned to Israel. The U.S. governing elite’s fanatical dedication to Israeli-over-U.S. interests and its abiding hatred for Americans and their families can be seen clearly in all the young men and women who have been laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery since 1 September 2011, as well as in those who now try to make their lives not withstanding lost limbs and mental illness.

–6.) The southern border is, of course, far and away the best example of the U.S. bipartisan governing elite’s hatred for U.S. citizens they obviously assess as a lesser type of human. For half a century, both parties have wholeheartedly endorsed open, illegal immigration in the name of cheap labor for the Republicans, and illegal and so enslaved voters for the Democrats. These desires completely prevent any compassion or aid for the American citizens who were killed, robbed, dismembered, or raped by illegals; who were infected by the diseases they brought with them; who had their young children kidnapped and sold on the world pedophile market or for body parts; or who became addicted by the narcotics illegals smuggled into America. These illegals also have disrupted and bloated education systems, social services, and healthcare systems; destroyed the farms, ranches, herds, and homes of Americans living near the border; and have taken jobs from millions of Americans, this last hidden by the Republican lie that “Americans would not take these jobs”, meaning that Americans preferred to see themselves and their families starve to death rather than work. In 2018, 72,000 Americans died due to an opioid epidemic that can never be controlled unless the border is closed, and today, in early 2019, all Democrats and a goodly number of Republicans refuse to close the border and stop this slaughter of U.S. citizens.

–7.) Open immigration and the open southern border also have given both parties, senior civil servants, military and intelligence officers, and law enforcement officials a chance to increase the threat to the American citizens they hate. The inflow of illegals across the southern border has put an unknown number of Islamist fighters into the United States, almost all of whom have yet to be identified and rounded-up. This reality has yielded two American- and liberty-killing results.

–First, we have no idea how many Islamists have entered the United States illegally. The only knowable facet of this issue is the complete incompetence of the FBI to stop any terrorist attacks except those in which its officers entrap dumb Muslims into planning attacks, arm them with FBI-supplied inert explosives or weapons, and then arrest the sorry dupes on the eve of the fake attack with much well-arranged fanfare, media coverage, and self-congratulation. The FBI failed to stop the genuine terrorist attacks in San Bernardino, Orlando, Boston, and Las Vegas, and have covered up their blatant failures in each with unbelievable explanations, the peach of that crop being that the attack in Las Vegas was conducted by a lone, old-man gunman who lugged a dozen boxes of weapons and ammunition into his casino hotel room without being seen, and then shot hundreds of the concert goers. This absurdity, of course, was fabricated by a protégé of Comey who was sent to Las Vegas specifically to cover-up the truth.

–Second, unlimited illegal immigration has provided a seemingly credible case for the ongoing destruction of the 4^th Amendment that has been pursued by the G.W. Bush and Obama administrations. Officials in both gangster administrations have justified the unconstitutional interception of all the electronic communications of all Americans on the basis of the huge number of illegal and unidentified aliens resident in the United States among whom may be terrorists preparing attacks. While claiming that without the ability to collect all of the citizenry’s communications Americans could not be protected, these administrations did everything they could to assure that the citizenry would be unprotected by allowing the illegal and unidentified populace to grow as quickly and massively as possible. In short, these anti-American entities used open, illegal immigration not only to kill Americans, but also to drive another stake into the body of their Constitution, and thus their liberty.

Faced with the governing elite’s – and especially that of the Democrats’ — just-documented hatred for those they govern and the Constitution; their undeniable love for the illegal aliens who are killing and dismembering legal U.S. citizens and subverting their elections; foreigners who are endlessly rewarded with the earnings of American labor and the blood and limbs of American children; and foreign, often anti-American nations (Israel and some of the NATO states, for example) that are better treated and defended than the American people, the Democrats cannot be allowed to inhabit the White House even if they win in 2020, or ever again. That can only be done by the citizenry’s willingness to use their only remaining tool against this  lethal but easily identifiable enemy. “Arguably,” Jacob G. Hornberger, wrote in November, 2004,

the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution should have been made first in the Bill of Rights because without the right to keep and bear arms, such rights as freedom of speech and freedom of the press would be treated as nothing more than meaningless “privileges” bestowed and taken away by government officials at will. The Second Amendment is the American people’s ultimate insurance policy against tyranny because government officials know that guns in the hands of the people provide the only practical means by which to resist tyranny. (1)

That this was obvious to the Founders is made clear in an essay published by a supporter of Thomas Jefferson in Philadelphia’s Aurora (21 May 1799). The writer used the pseudonym “Mentor”. I have no idea how Mentor knew that today’s Democrats would create murderous anti-citizen, armed forces like Antifa, BLM, and BAM to destroy the rights that Mentor was willing to defend with arms, but he apparently did. In any event, there follows his precise definition of how legal U.S. citizens, with God’s help, can and must prevent the Democrats from ever retaking the White House.

But as men intent upon hostility have associated themselves in military corps [Antifa, BLM, and BAM], it becomes your duty to associate likewise, Arm and organize yourselves immediately … Do you wish to preserve your rights? Arm yourselves, Do you desire to secure your dwellings?  Arm yourselves, Do you wish your wives and daughters protected? Arm yourselves, Do you wish to be defended against assassins or the Bully Rocks of faction? Arm yourselves, Do you desire to assemble in security to consult for your own good or the good of your country? Arm yourselves.

To arms, to arms, and you may then sit down contented, each man under his own vine and his own fig-tree and have no one to make him afraid….

If you are desirous to counteract a design pregnant with misery and ruin, then arm yourselves; for in a firm, imposing and dignified attitude, will consist your own security and that of your families, To arms, then to arms. (2)

Wiser words were never spoken. Arm yourselves.

Each day the drumbeat of idiocy produced by the so-called Progressives seems to get louder and more agitating. It is not so much the tone of the words they choose to use, but rather the nonsense that they claim to be irrefutable truth.

In this regard, looking at a couple of the news aggregators each day induces something between anger and vomiting, sometimes it stokes both. This week, for example, the scientific world’s new, dazzling star, Chuck Todd, told the world that the “science is settled” on climate change and that his network is “not going to give time to climate deniers (AKA: Truthtellers)”. Todd always has been a pompous and mumbling ass, but his enormous scientific expertise is something of which few were aware.

But here is what Todd and other genius shit-spewers like him should know. The climate-change/global-warming ship has sailed into the abyss of a now-cooling world and has sunk, never to be refloated. The climate fanatics – like all religious fanatics – have aligned themselves with a fake theology. The climate-change mongers have been routinely proven wrong; their lack of commonsense has made them forget carbon dioxide does not rise; they have been dismissed as quacks and fascist-shills by numerous Nobel Prize winners; they have made the scientific academy a laughing stock; and they have joined multiple U.S., UN, EU, and foreign government agencies to fill official scientific reports with falsities or non-pertinent information. All of this to create a “climate crisis” where there is not even a damp squib of such a crisis to worry about.

The climate-change hoax is now seen for what it always has been, the much-disguised but still obviously Hitlerite tool of globalists to impoverish-by-carbon-tax the world’s middle class and install a fascistic world government that will treat the world’s population – especially the white subset thereof — as shit-holers, all done while the elite are ensconced behind the safety of their walled-in governmental centers and wall-protected personal estates. Wonderfully, French President Macron has felt the first sting of incipient and hopefully violent climate-change payback, and it is quite the shame that the angry crowds outside his country estate did not hang his sorry ass. The Einstein-like Mr. Todd would be well advised to prate his climate-change crap from a residence outside the United States – perhaps in an unbearably ugly ménage-a-trois with Macron and his mother-wife — so as to try to avoid the gathering storm of retribution that is headed for him and his fellow climate-change freaks.

Next, Big Chief Elizabeth Warren has emerged from her teepee, cracked a beer, squatted near the campfire, and stated that she wants to run for the presidency. She probably would get some votes as Democratic and Progressive voters had no qualms about casting ballots for the felon/thief/traitor Hillary Clinton in 2016. But where is Warren’s punishment for making fake claims about her heritage in order to achieve greater job success? Is there no penalty for gaming the unconstitutional quota system to secure jobs for which the law says others are better fitted? Here is fake-squaw Warren deliberately pushing aside genuine American Indians so she can take advantage of the quota that was meant – however unconstitutionally – for those thought to be under-privileged? Clearly, old squaw Lizzy said to herself something like: “Screw American Indians. I’m a lawyer and I know how to game the law in my favor, so I will do that and gleefully climb to the top over those red-skinned losers.”

Well, I can see how Democrats and Progressives believe that a person who thinks and behaves in this manner is made of the traditional stuff that makes Democratic presidents despicable. But why not at least pursue an investigation to see whether those American Indians who Big Chief Warren illegally cheated out of advancement have some avenue for legal redress. Like a sutler who illegally sold whiskey to the Indians he claimed to be “children in his care” and then pocketed the profit, Warren champions unconstitutional legal preferences for minorities but then uses the preferences – and her contempt for American Indians and their history — for improving her own position and income. If that is a crime, old Chiefy Liz ought to be tried, convicted and jailed. After all, a few years in prison for simultaneously cheating minorities while singing their praises could only make Squaw Lizzy an even more luminous Democratic and Progressive candidate.

Finally, the media report that California Governor Jerry Brown pardoned five men who had been convicted for violent crimes to prevent them from being deported. In addition, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo pardoned 24 criminals – including a killer – to prevent their deportation. By their actions, Brown and Cuomo have, in essence, become the knowing and willing table-setters for whatever butcheries these now-pardoned illegal-aliens/violent-criminals decide to conduct against legitimate U.S. citizens and their families during their post-pardon careers.

What, at the most basic level, is a father or husband to do to protect his family if his elected representatives deliberately choose – as have Brown and Cuomo – to augment the number of violent criminals on the loose with criminal scum who have already proven their ability and willingness to harm or kill the innocent? Brown and Cuomo are the very antithesis of defenders of “good government” and “ordered liberty”, standing instead as advocates of societal chaos, as well as of random violence against the people who elected them. Because there appears to be no governmental organization to which citizens can appeal for the quashing of the murderous pardons issued by Brown and Cuomo, citizens have, in reality, only one credible option.

If this behavior by Brown and Cuomo becomes standard operating procedure for Democratic governors, their party, and their voters and media slaves, the citizenry will have to reteach them something akin to what the 20^th century taught mankind about Woodrow Wilson’s daft “right of self-determination”. The demented Wilson believed this right would be unfailingly exercised via some kind of voting, not via violence. Alas, the lamentable Woodrow was dead wrong. This right, it turns out, might be exercised through the franchise, but a Chinese lad named Mao taught the world that self-determination also is achieved – and just as justifiably – through the barrel of a gun.

Brown and Cuomo, poor things, have pursued their pardons-for-criminals campaign of violence against genuine U.S. citizens with the same daftness and dimness of their mad progenitor, Woodrow Wilson. They seem to believe that once elected, they are beyond the reach of the voters and so can impose on them any sort of violence and lawlessness they deem appropriate for those they regard as stupid cattle, useful only in election years.

They are wrong. If a government and its leaders – national, state, or local — refuse to protect those they are elected to protect, and instead purposely endanger them and their families, each citizen has no legal or moral option but to find means with which to protect their loved ones and neighbors, and eliminate their tormentors. The means come easily to hand – thank you Founders – in the form of 2^nd Amendment. Thanks to that fact, Brown and Cuomo are now carrying bright and shining bullseyes on their backs. And, in a ringing reminder that what goes around comes around, the safety and survival of Brown and Cuomo are now dependent on the very longshot that none of the illegal-alien criminals and killers they pardoned return to attacking, stealing from, raping, and killing innocent U.S. citizens.

If, in the days ahead, just one of what Mr. Dylan once called “simple twists of fate”could ensure that Brown and Cuomo rightfully pay the ultimate price for deliberately multiplying threats to the citizenry’s survival. Oh well, as a saying here in Virginia goes, “Sic Semper Tyrannis”.

Since my last piece, the anti-Americans, Neocons, Israel Firsters, and former Obamaites have — like slugs — continued to slither forth and attack President Trump for deciding to evacuate U.S. troops from Syria and then Afghanistan. So far, the new wave of slugs includes Michael Bloomberg, Thomas Friedman, Eugene Robinson, Robert Kuttner, and the prison-bound, Obama-apologist Susan Rice, all of whom have damned Mr. Trump. David Ignatius also has returned for a second attack on the president. Ignatius apparently is taking over from the geriatric and clueless Bob Woodward as the Deep State’s most-favored, foolish, and fully controlled court historian.

Not to be outdone, FOX News is rolling out retired General Jack Keane at regular intervals to attack President Trump for not being smart enough to use the notorious bureaucratic-snare for prolonging unnecessary wars known as the “national security decision-making process”, and then accept its advice about what to do in Syria and Afghanistan. If used, this process would yield three easily predictable words of advice “stay the course”, this is because what that process inevitably wants is more war.

General Keane has been wrong about  almost every military issue he has addressed on television since the U.S. invaded Afghanistan in October, 2001. Keane always sees light at the end of the tunnel, but when the light finally shows a clear picture, it is, invariably, one of more dead and maimed U.S. troops, billions of additional dollars wasted, less U.S. security, and endless war. Indeed, General Keane is the perfect product of the traditional war-wanting “national security decision-making process”. His analysis always calls for more war, no matter how definitively U.S. forces are defeated or have been shackled to make sure they cannot win.

Here is what President Trump seems to know: The wars in the Middle East, since the end of World War Two, have been caused by four factors: (a) the creation of the state of Israel; (b) unquestioning and unrelenting U.S. and Western support for Israel; (c) unquestioning and unrelenting U.S. and Western support for tyrannical regimes across the Islamic World, but especially in the Arab portion thereof; and (d) unrelenting U.S. and Western military, political, economic — the current lust Syrian oil and Afghan Lithium, for example — and cultural interventionism in the Muslim world.

American and Western troops are being shot at and killed by Islamists on Muslim territory not only because they are there to kill Islamists, but to act as the armed agents of the Western governing elite’s plan to homogenize world cultures, thereby making it easier for them to rule the globe in the fascist manner they, the EU, and the UN fancy. Most Europeans and some Americans have put up with this deadly, liberty-killing crap, but most Muslims have not, and will not, not ever.

What Mr. Trump seems to sense is that the threat to the United States flows directly and primarily from this endless and multi-faceted U.S.-led interventionism. He also knows that not a single U.S. Marine or soldier could be killed or maimed by an AK-47-armed, Islamist fighter if he or she was not present in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Libya, Niger, Mali, Chad, or the host of other intervened-in countries.

Unlike most U.S. presidents, politicians, generals, journalists, and professors, moreover, President Trump seems to have a good knowledge of geography. His acquaintance with maps has allowed him to see that the Islamist enemy is virtually no threat to genuine U.S. national interests unless our forces are operating on Muslim territory to enforce their governing elite’s order to impose so-called Western values on Muslims; protect Arab tyrants; and — most important — ensure Israel’s safety and its ability to do whatever it wants in the region.  (NB: Is it any wonder the Islamists are fighting this foreign intervention? Americans gave King George III the boot for doing far fewer violent and culturally catastrophic things to the thirteen colonies.)

Mr. Trump also gains another advantage over his critics from his familiarity with maps. While every president since McKinley has failed to notice and appreciate this key feature on a world map, President Trump sees that there is a 3,000-mile-wide oceanic water barrier off the east coast of the United States, and a 4,000-mile-wide barrier off the republic’s west coast. He also knows that our Islamist enemies have neither an air force nor a navy, and so have no way to get to the United States unless than can combine rowing like the Homeric heroes of yore, with explicit approval and divine help from Allah.

As result, Mr. Trump is working, I believe, on a two-part process, with both parts unfolding simultaneously. The first part is the withdrawal of U.S. military forces from Syria and Afghanistan, not because the Islamic State and al-Qaeda are defeated, but because such a withdrawal makes attacking the United States a much more difficult task for the Islamists, as well as a much lower priority on their list of to-do tasks. After all, the Islamists focus on the United States because it knows U.S. generals are incapable of defeating them on Muslim territory, and because U.S. troops are on that territory. That is, U.S. Marines are shot in Afghanistan because they are there, not because they are U.S. Marines.

Once U.S. forces are withdrawn from Syria, the Islamists naturally will claim victory over America. That may hurt the pride of some Americans, but that’s water off a duck’s back if the nation’s splendid soldier-children are safely back in North America. In addition, minus the U.S. presence, the Islamists’ top priority will shift to killing troops belonging to what will be the main non-Sunni Muslim interventionists in the Sunni Arab world. These military forces include whatever European forces are goofy enough to remain after America leaves; Russian soldiers and mercenaries, Assad, his army, and his Alawite coreligionists, and the heretical Shia troops and militiamen from Iran, Lebanon, and Iraq. The Sunni Islamists, all praise to God, will have no shortage of killable targets to fill their time and attention after U.S. forces depart for home.

The apparent second part of President Trump’s plan has been unfolding in fits and starts since 2016: namely, his initiatives for a border wall and tightly controlled immigration. After U.S. troops withdraw from Syria and Afghanistan, America’s open southern border will remain today — as it was in 2001 — the most dangerous weak point in any national-defense strategy aimed at blunting the Islamist threat. This fact has been so blatantly obvious for so long, that those who have deliberately failed to secure the southern border merit hanging, and perhaps drawing-and-quartering after they are cut down. I noted this in books I published in 2002 and 2005, but made the point at greater length in my 2008 book, Marching Toward Hell, America and Islam after Iraq.

In America’s war with the Islamists the only place to start is with the physical security of the United States. Because our bipartisan elite has refused to control either our borders or illegal immigration, law enforcement agencies at all levels of government – local, state, and federal –have been left without even a fighting chance to defeat our U.S.-based Islamist enemies or those who were coming in from abroad. As long as the immigration-and-borders status quo remains, police agencies will be working against an undocumented pool of aliens that grows by the hour. In this context, the billions of dollars that Washington has spent to install electronic- and bio-detection gear at official border crossings, ports, and airports is of use only if Islamists are stupid enough to walk through an official entry point – whether at Tijuana or Windsor-Detroit – wearing I-love-Osama-T-shirts and carrying AK-47s, explosives, al-Qaeda identification cards, or WMD components. Unfortunately for America, al-Qaeda’s fighters have proven to be anything but stupid, and they are most unlikely to help us defend the United States by exposing themselves to the world’s most sophisticated detection equipment. In essence, we have, since 2001, spent untold billions beefing up official border crossing points … and are now equipped to reliably interdict only unimaginably careless or certifiably idiotic Islamic fighters. …

How to proceed? Well, the best answer would be to deploy the U.S. Army and Marines along U.S. land borders to prevent the entry of illegals until an effective network of fences, trenches, watch towers, radars, and – if necessary – minefields can be built in a crash program along the Canadian and American borders. But the world’s best and most expensive military is deployed overseas in losing Wilsonian wars meant to install secular democracies that Muslims are resisting to the death. And even if U.S. forces were not stretched so thin, those elected to run the federal government have, for decades, failed completely, knowingly, and deliberately, to ensure the physical security of U.S. borders. On this issue, Americans today find themselves in what Thomas Paine described as the “intolerable state” of being “exposed to the same miseries by a government, which we might expect in a country without a government.”

If Mr. Trump can make his two-part plan a success, the republic will be in an enviable position: no Sunni mujahedin will be killing U.S. military personnel abroad, and the citizenry will be enjoying a reliable obstacle to Islamists — and all illegal aliens — trying to enter the country. In addition, the national government at last will be able to resume full sovereignty over the territorial domain of the United States in fact, and not merely as a spoken and transparently false claim.

Nearly as important, the citizenry and their leaders will be able to sit comfortably in North America and watch Russians kill Sunnis, and get killed by them; Sunnis kill Russians and Iraqi, Iranian, and Lebanese Shias; Sunni Afghans and their foreign allies killing Russians, Afghan Shia, pro-Western Sunni Afghans, and the soon to arrive Chinese forces. President Xi’s forces will be sent to guard the construction of Xi’s ignorance, madness, and hubris-fueled belt-and-road project that is to pass through China’s Muslim-dominated Xinjiang Province, the states of Central Asia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Sunni Rohingya-dominated area of Burma. And, with any luck, Erdogan’s Turkey and the panoply of Kurdish groups will get to join this lethal regional fandango.

Military and civilian deaths, as well as Russian, Chinese, and Iranian regime expenditures, will abound and proliferate across the region. And if Mr. Trump can swing it, Americans and their military can watch from home as those the national government has defined as the republic’s enemies merrily murder each other, weaken their regimes and economies, and make the intense Sunni hatred for the United States steadily weaken as Iran, Russia, China and their surrogates feel the full wrath of this and future generations of Allah’s warriors.

Such a magnificent result for the United States and its genuine national interests would clearly show, as the saying goes, that God is truly great, and especially so when you use the commonsense with which He endowed you.

M.F. Scheuer, Marching Toward Hell. America and Islam after Iraq, (New York, 2008), pp. 256-257

The great bulk of Americans, Mr. President, are ebullient over your decision to remove our troops from Syria, and soon from Afghanistan. Since the start of those two murderous misadventures, in 2001 and 2003, many American parents have welcomed home from war only dead; legless, blind, or armless; or mentally troubled children. No victories, no end of wasteful spending, no national government concern for dead, save for a few faux tears at Andrews Air Force Base, and no general officer competent – or, seemingly, willing — to lead our troops in a way that ensures America wins. Mr. President, the beginning of the end of the governing elite’s 70-years of military interventionism is a precious Christmas gift to Americans, their children, and their hopes for the republic’s recovery.

We never had a genuine national-interest reason for going to war in Iraq or Syria, and only justification for an annihilative, 15-18-month punitive campaign in Afghanistan. All those wars are now lost, which is the traditional manner of American war-making since V-J Day in 1945. You, Mr. President, have taken a large step to permanently ending military interventionism as the first option for presidents, their advisers, the Congress, and their senior civil servants. You also have laid down a marker to the U.S. corps of flag officers; namely, Americans have no time or respect for you if you do not win wars, or if you take U.S. troops to wars you know the president does not intend to win.

With respect, Sir, there is another very important product flowing from your decision to get out of Syria that you must note, and hopefully take to heart. Look at the list of those who have damned your decision. It includes Hillary Clinton, Lindsay Graham and most of the U.S. Congress, Max Boot, Elliott Cohen, Ezra Klein, Eli Lake, the New York Times, Slate, Bloomberg, Jeffrey Goldberg, David Ignatius, Robert Corker, the National Review, the Washington Post, the New York Post, etc., etc., etc. This list of anti-Americans has several common characteristics – beyond hating you — they are globalists, war-mongers, wasters of America’s riches and young people, aspiring destroyers of the U.S. Constitution, and, most of all, loyal adorers of Israel either via their faith or the generous subventions — that is, bribes — they receive from the disloyal leaders of the Jewish-American community and its organizations.

Whether you intended or not, Mr. President, your decision to leave Syria has brought every one of these rat bastards and hundreds of others out from under the rocks and cesspools where they dwell into the bright sunlight, a light that always, in time, fixes on traitors to this republic, thereby identifying for the citizenry the republic’s most lethal enemies. Ignore the rat bastards, Sir, stick to your guns, and carry on.

A Happy and Holy Christmas, Mr. President, to you, yours, and the republic.

The Texas judge who recently found Obama Care unconstitutional is the rare example of a public servant doing his duty by using his own commonsense and the plain words of the U.S. Constitution. While that should be the natural course of events, it seldom is.

In the United States, constitutional government really is a simple process if the obvious words of the Constitution are understood as they were written, not as judges want to misshape them. The purportedly well-educated Chief Justice Roberts shackled Obama Care and its “individual mandate” on Americans by defining it as a tax, rather than what the Constitution clearly defines it as; namely, a diktat placed by a master and his sycophant overseers – like Roberts – on an enslaved population. Obama and Roberts are perfect modern models of Simon Legree, although the lashings applied by both are far more vicious toward Americans than were those applied the original thug.

The ruling is a welcome and commonsense development, but if the issue gets back to Robert’s court the citizenry may well be reshackled with more well-imagined but utterly fatuous interpretations of the Constitution. If that happens, Americans once again would see a clear demonstration of the reality that the republic today is run by neither elected representatives nor the Constitution, but by a mostly aged, black-robed, unaccountable clique, which cares little about the Founder’s Constitution and cannot be controlled, overruled, or constitutionally eliminated by the electorate. This reality renders it impossible to ignore the brutal fact that the American republic is now ruled by nine petty tyrants who increasingly merit wide-ranging constrictions on their purview or, in time, disposal by whatever means are necessary

Also, last Sunday, FOX News showed a stunning and viciously anti-American discussion between Chris Wallace and Bill Gates. Now it has been clear for several months that many of FOX’s on-air personalities are either stridently anti-Trump – the always snide and bitchy Shepard Smith and the Bush-butt-kisser Dana Perino – or increasingly anti Trump, like Judge Napolitano. Not too much can be said about these folks except they seem to be money-chasing whores and that the post-Ailes, anti-Trump, Murdoch-sons’ management of FOX surely is funding their bought-and-paid-for lies and venom.

The grotesque Wallace-Gates conversation, however, is on a whole other level than the foregoing. Wallace’s ridiculously softball questions for Gates made him seem eager to follow Perino’s lead in the skill of journalism-by-sycophancy. Gates, for his part, plays the mumbling, generous-to-a-fault rich man, but all of his ideas, donations, and plans lead in only one direction; namely, toward a fascist world government, commanding overwhelming force to impose uniformity in thinking, speech, and behavior, and using U.S. taxpayers as a cash-cow for his plans until he can irretrievably bankrupt the republic. With that accomplished, he and other like-minded fascist billionaires will have destroyed the republic, lowering it to the standards he and his like see as the proper station for Americans; that is, as hapless, impoverished, Third World shit-holers.

Wallace and Gates were not only anti-Trump, they were as callously anti-American as it gets. Both attacked Trump’s efforts to re-establish America First as the country’s guiding star, and especially savaged his efforts to substantially reduce U.S. foreign aid. Because both men are rich enough to avoid most federal taxation, neither had any qualms about drawing this give-away money from those who most need to keep it in their pockets or saving accounts. Wallace and Gates apparently see no harm in having Congress take money from working Americans and give it to foreigners, who are, after all, not Americans and so do not command the protection of the Constitution or have any legal or moral right to call on Americans to hamper their own and their families’ futures by paying taxes for the sole purpose of seeing them wasted on or stolen by foreigners.

All told, Wallace and Gates really conducted an America-be-damned conversation, inferring it was the U.S. taxpayers’ moral duty to sacrifice their sweat, income, and kids-future for some benighted foreign riff-raff who are wondering about in lands far away, who are irrelevant to genuine U.S. national interests, and who are enemies of the taxpayers’ incomes.

The end of foreign aid – especially to African states, whose tyrant-rulers’ steal it; to Israel, which merits not a cent of public monies; and to the pathetic always-with-their-hands-out NATO countries – would give the national government the chance to make sure:

–(a) The 20-percent or more of American children who are malnourished are adequately fed.

–(b) The full border wall is quickly built to stop the unwanted, illegal, and republic-killing entry of the earth’s violent, criminal, drug-smuggling, and diseased dregs.

–(c) America stays out of other countries’ business, thereby avoiding involvement in their irrelevant-to-America local conflicts.

(d) And, perhaps most important, to begin to reverse the now solidly entrenched belief among average Americans that their national government does not give a good god-damn about their or their republic’s welfare and survival.

The time has long past where it is possible to believe that foreign aid and military assistance are beneficial to Americans. The pro-foreign aid argument was a noble-sounding lie from the start. That aid, since 1945, has produced only four things: oceans of wasted taxpayer money; unwanted/illegal immigrants; foreign entanglements leading to unnecessary wars; and the now well-grounded and only barely contained animosity of working Americans toward their national government.

Aid to others is today, as always, the sole responsibility of each individual’s conscience, it should never be coerced from any citizen by the self-important mobsters in Congress and at the IRS. Citizens, churches, community organizations, fraternal groups, and a hundred other kinds of service organizations are always free to donate to causes of their choice. It is to be hoped that all of these givers would have the commonsense to understand that there is no morally defensible reason to send their donations overseas when there is so terribly much to be done among their fellow citizens here at home, where charity must always begin.

If American aid must be sent overseas to be wasted and stolen, let it be drawn from the pockets of Gates, Wallace, Bloomberg, Buffett, Pope Francis, the Koch Brothers, Soros, the Clintons, the Obamas, the chairmen of Google, Amazon, Twitter, and Facebook, the Rockefellers, Hollywood’s rich degenerates, and all those hundreds of billionaires who pride themselves on helping foreigners, but only if most of the money comes from the pockets of working Americans.

Just for a change of pace, then, let the national government squeeze the above-noted litany of rich folk for the money that is soon-to-be-wasted on foreigners, and let it squeeze them long and hard, as Lloyd-Gorge once said, until the pips squeak. This would keep money in the wallets of working Americans, and give them some reason to begin to believe their national government may yet recognize that its job is to preserve, not destroy, the republic.

What needs to be destroyed by the national government – or, if needed, by citizen militias — are, for starters, the Democratic Party, ANTIFA, the FBI, and the Department of Justice. That destruction-and-reclamation process, however, will take time. The place to start is the creation of military tribunals to deal long-lasting pain to the three Clintons, Comey, Obama, Holder, Clapper, McCabe, Brennan, Yates, Soros, Page, Strozk, Rosenstein, McRaven, Muellar and his band of criminal attorneys (that may be redundant), the two Ohrs, all the Brits, Australians, and Israelis who worked to overthrow a U.S. election, Schumer, Finestein, Schiff, that cur Durbin, and all of the federal judges in the 9^th Circuit.

There also is strong reason to consider firing a good many CIA and FBI employees who were hired during Obama’s two terms. As far as the public record shows, there has not been a single employee of either organization who has resigned to speak publicly about their knowledge of the anti-Trump and subversive activities of Clapper, Brennan, McCabe, and Comey. Granted that there are not large numbers of officers knowledgeable of what those four scoundrels were doing, but there are some that do and all have been silent, and silence means consent. Without a thorough-going purge of the Obama-era CIA and FBI hires, the foot-soldiers of subversion and treason will remain in place and ready to try again.

Yes, yes, I know. All of this is only a start, but righteous retribution is sure to gather momentum once initiated.

Political unity continues to be a fading memory in the United States, and, as I previously noted here, that is okay with me. The media’s endless prating about the need for bipartisanship amounts to calling for the republic to be sentenced to death. Why would any decent, law-abiding, and patriotic American want to have anything to do with any Democrat or many of the Republicans, though the departure of Senators Flake, McCain, and Corker and 40 retiring Republican congressmen is a step in the right direction for that party.

What the media means by political unity and bipartisanship is the surrender of Trump’s base and all decent Americans still blessed with commonsense to the dictates of the Democratic Party on open borders, murdered infants, a daily increasing menu of ever-more-lunatic gender identities, media censorship, congressman and senators derived from reconstituted swamp scum, higher taxes, gun seizure, the end of free speech, a judiciary eventually formed from mad feminists, fake science, climate-change fanatics, sexual deviants of every imaginable kind, anti-Americans, and illegal aliens, and the final ruination of the republic, its Constitution, its history, and the citizens who remain loyal to them. The future of the Democratic Party, its members, and its media really can only be warmly anticipated by Americans if that evolving future is accompanied by a sound track driven by the steady, up-tempo beat like that found in the admirable composition by the noted German composer Werner Gruner, his Opus MG-42.

This said, we are now seeing a united U.S. Senate that is strong for confrontation with Russia, as well as for ending relations with Saudi Arabia and overthrowing its government. That rare unity, of course, is not the product of the Senate’s concern for the security and welfare of the republic and its citizenry. Rather, it is the result of the Senate – and the House of Representatives, for that matter – being owned by disloyal Jewish-Americans and their ultra-rich and savagely pro-Israel organizations. These Israel-Firsters clearly prevail over any semblance of America-First patriotism in the Senate and Congress whenever it comes to doing the bidding of their nation of first preference.

The fact that a nearly unanimous Senate wants to have President Trump publicly and economically beat up Vladimir Putin and militarily threaten Russia by further reinforcing NATO is utter madness worthy of a Marx Brother’s movie. After consulting with European diplomats and George Soros, Ukrainian President Poroshenko – a EU/U.S.-backed purveyor of fascism – sent three of his navy’s ships into Russian waters without asking permission for their transit. The Russians, ever wary of any but Russian adventurism in the Black Sea region, reacts properly, and seizes the three trespassing ships and impounds them and their crews. The Russians are within their rights, and an appropriate apology from Poroshenko’s government probably ends the incident and restores the status quo.

But, no, most of the one-hundred U.S. senators have decided to use Russia’s legitimate defensive action as something approaching an issue of high national-security interest and danger to the United States.  This is a claim that does not sound logical even if you say it fast: for example, “Poroshenko’s navy deliberately violated Russian waters. Moscow seized the trespassing ships and crews. Putin therefore is getting ready to invade Ukraine and the U.S. military and taxpayers must ride to the rescue of Ukraine’s fascist regime.” In other words: Ukraine attacks, Russia defends, the West says Russia wants war, and this amounts to a Russian threat to the United States. Come on.

There are admittedly few good guys involved in the Ukraine-vs-Russia confrontation, but that is neither here nor there. The face-off is simply none of America’s business. The EU, George Soros, and the anti-American, money-hungry clique of Obama, Clinton, Biden and his son, and McCain ran a “regime change” operation in Ukraine, replaced a pro-Russian government to anger Putin and Russia, and, for their trouble, expense, and intense embarrassment, got a fascist ruler and regime in the Ukraine, an economic basket case there to support, and Russia’s fully justified reacquisition of Crimea. But this kind of farcical and humiliating result imparted no lesson in the minds of Western interventionists; indeed, they seem to think it would be fun to repeat it, apparently eager to earn another dose of embarrassing comeuppance from Moscow.

Or could it be that in the United States, the anti-Russian fervor and the  bipartisan support for it is a function of Israel-First’s control of the U.S. Congress? The Ukraine-Russia confrontation poses no threat to the United States; the only correct response is let them fight it out if that is what they want to do. If the mighty EU decides to go after Russia without America, so be it. It would be most interesting, in fact, to watch Russia’s version of the Wehrmacht’s panzer divisions rolling down the already burning Champs Elysees. That would be a sight to savor, as the permanently adolescent EU mandarins get their collective ass handed to them by the tough, ruthless, and adult realist in the Kremlin.

But whose best interests lie in maintaining a consistent and high-level of U.S.-Russia animosities. The answer can only be Israel. The Russian government has troops stationed near its border with Syria, as well as naval and air assets nearby; it is maintaining and seems to be strengthening the Assad regime’s staying power; it is building new military and naval facilities in Syria; and it is supporting – or at least acquiescing in — Iran’s ambitions in the region. From Israel’s national-security perspective this situation is close to intolerable. Israel, however, though great at fighting semi-trained forces armed with Korean War-era weapons, is a midget power compared to the military capabilities of Putin’s Russia.

Next, amazingly, all of the Senate and many congressmen are still trying to use the dead journalist Jamal Khashoggi as a spear to run through the heart of both Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman (MBS) and the jobs of many American workers. Now, dead journalists are, these days, a dime a dozen; as noted previously, a UN spokesman claims that one is killed every four days, but there is no Senator expressing anger, grief, and vengefulness every fourth day. For example, at least two U.S. journalists and a U.S. humanitarian worker – recall, even if Khashoggi’s parts are stitched back together he is not a U.S. citizen – were killed in a short space of time a few years back by the Islamic State (IS). These killings occurred at a time when Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the Emirates, and Kuwait were all supporting IS by allowing their young males to join its ranks to, and by sending donations to IS from both public and private coffers. Do you recall the ardor with which a unanimous Senate pushed the Obama administration to stop selling arms to the Saudis and the Gulf’s other tyrants? Do you remember how our NATO allies also stridently urged us to do so, and did so themselves? Do you recall how the U.S. and Western media demanded punishment of the Arab tyrants? For that matter, do you remember that the united Senate demanded the obliteration of the Kingdom after about 20 of its nationals – acting on the education they received in the Kingdom – killed nearly 3,000 Americans in 2001.  If you do, you are hallucinating. None of those things occurred.

Why, then, is almost all of the U.S. Senate so intent on attacking Saudi Arabia and American workers with heavy sanctions over the death of the non-U.S. citizen, pro-Muslim Brotherhood, pro-mujahedin, buddy-of-Osama journalist Khashoggi? Simple, really. Saudi Arabia is still the headquarters of militant Sunni Islam – and especially the militarily inclined Salafist sect — and the Kingdom’s private- and religious-sectors still are the source of much of its funding. The current Saudi crown prince is unlikely to be able to tame the Salafist movement, but the timing of when it ends his tenure is hard to calculate. One knowable thing, however, is that the longer MBS holds power and pushes his so-called reform agenda, the more violent and religiously radical will be the forces that over throw him and try to rule the country.

In other words, a near-term overthrow of MBS probably would result in Saudi Arabia slipping back into the characteristics that marked the nation before the Crown Prince rose to power, a condition which Israel had learned to live with. A significantly longer, anti-Crown Prince campaign, however, would bring the Salafi militants to the fore, and, when successful, they most likely would put power in the hands of someone whose religiosity, patience, ruthlessness, and worldview resemble those of Osama bin Laden.

Now, what country would greatly and justifiably prefer a near-term reversion to the kind of regime that governed Saudi Arabia for decades before MBS? The answer is, of course, Israel, a nation and people wise enough to know that Arabs are not the stuff of which stable democracies are made. They also are wise enough to know that a prolonged campaign against the Crown Prince’s rule might well yield a religious Saudi Sunni/Salafist regime, one as, or more militant and stubborn than the Shia regime in Iran. In essence, for Israel, it is better to take the Saudi devil you have long known, the one who could count on the West to come to its defense as long as it tolerated Israel.

Another reason, perhaps a stronger one, for Israel’s preference for the good-old Saudi regime is the Crown Prince’s November, 2018, decision to build a nuclear research reactor in the Kingdom. The Crown Prince and his advisers appear to have decided that it was not enough to count on the willingness of the Pakistanis’ to come to their rescue with the nuclear weapons the Kingdom helped fund.

The default consensus in Israel and the West may well be that MBS’s construction of a nuclear reactor is due his regime’s fear of Iran, and there is some truth to that. But the view from the Israeli government must be focused on both Israel’s national security and the unavoidable conclusion that a long MBS tenure could yield, at its end, both a Saudi nuclear arsenal and a bin Laden-like leader, or worse a leader like IS chief Abu Omar al-Bahgdadi. This credible threat certainly will move Israel to act in ways that are aimed to make sure MBS remains on the throne for the shortest possible time.

Okay, so Israel’s interests require a new U.S.-Soviet Cold War and a fairly quick termination of the Crown Prince’s reign for what it sees as legitimate, life-or-death national-security interests, and only the Israeli government can define what those are and what actions are required to secure them. Military options taken against either Russia or MBS, however, are the road to Israel’s destruction, and patiently biding time may be suicidal.

The only sensible, utterly reliable answer to Israel’s quandary is for it to call on the services of one of the U.S. government organizations that disloyal Jewish-Americans and their organizations have corrupted and purchased for Israel’s use in manipulating U.S. foreign policy to further Israel’s interests, rather than those of the republic. In this case, their most suborned and enslaved tool was chosen to do Israel’s bidding; that is, the United States Senate.

As if possessed by John McCain’s war-mongering lust, nearly all of the Senators have sought – for Israel’s interests — to promote armed confrontation with Russia over the worthless-to-America Ukraine. Likewise, they have taken up cudgels for Israel in declaring that MBS’s rule is intolerable because he is thought to have ordered the demise and divvying-up of the anti-American Khashoggi. The Senate, in fact, is demanding regime change in Saudi Arabia, an action that could please only Israel and the worthless, now turning-on-a spit soul of McCain.

Not surprisingly, after being briefed on 4 December 2018 by the CIA’s director on the agency’s findings about Khashoggi’s death, four of the most reliable Israel-First senators – Charles Schumer, Richard Durbin, Lindsey Graham, and Robert Corker – told the media that the entire Senate must be briefed by CIA so it could then unanimously demand that the Trump administration take actions to terminate MBS’s rule, notwithstanding that such action would cost thousands of U.S. jobs, drive oil prices toward $100-or-more per barrel, and take pressure off Iran. As always for the Senate, Israel’s protection is the only priority, and no expense to achieve that goal is too costly, even if it is to be measured in the weakening of the U.S. economy and the useless wasting of the citizenry’s livelihoods, taxes, and soldier-children.

Both of these problems – Russia and MBS – are easily resolved. For the United States, the answer to both is America First, which means refusing to be involved in fighting the imagined Russian and Saudi threats to the republic posed by the issues of Ukraine and Khashoggi. For the EU, the answer is to solve – for and by itself — the Ukraine problem it caused by cooperating with George Soros and the criminals Obama and Clinton to overthrow the pro-Russia Ukrainian government. For Israel, the answer is to grow up and fight your own battles or, better yet, grow up and stop believing God intended for you to always get your maximalist demands. For nearly 100 corrupt and treasonous U.S. Senators, the answer is a coerced, ten-year term in the new Guantanamo Bay prison facilities.
