Michael Scheuer | Non-Intervention

The U.S.-led attack on Syria was reckless, unnecessary, and self-defeating, but most of all it is clear testimony to the fact that the republic and its Constitution are nearly dead. Simply put, President Trump acted in the same matter as his four immediate predecessors; that is, as an elected dictator defying the Constitution and knowing that the supine Congress will do nothing to recover its sole and non-delegable constitutional prerogative to authorize the United States to go to war.

After eight years of war in Syria, not one genuine U.S. national interest — economic, military, or any other — has been damaged even slightly. The only American lives or limbs lost there were aid workers and journalists who knowingly put themselves in harm’s way, and several U.S. troops who were sent to Syria unconstitutionally and died there uselessly and wastefully. In other words, whether 35 of 3,500 Syrians were killed by gas at Douma, that attack — like all others in Syria over the since 2011 — was irrelevant to genuine U.S. national security concerns, not matter how severely they offend the sensibilities of some Americans.

Indeed, genuine U.S. national interests have benefited from the Syrian war. Russian President Putin threw his geopolitical dice and lost. As a result, he has been steadily spending his military’s lives, equipment, and monetary resources on a secondary Islamist threat to Russia, while the priority Islamist threat to Russia and its Commonwealth of Independent States is emanating from Afghanistan.

Islamist forces in Afghanistan, especially those of the Islamic State (IS), have substantially increased in number, and they are gradually solidifying their presence in the northern Afghan provinces that border Central Asia. Putin’s military will soon be mired and bleeding in both Syria and Afghanistan, thereby further reducing Russia’s ability and desire to antagonize the United States. This benefit, of course, would be greatly enhanced if the U.S. military was withdrawn from Afghanistan, after sewing salt or otherwise poisoning all heroin-growing land and destroying all military material and facilities that cannot be removed with the departing troops.

Geopolitical realities aside, Trump’s decision to join Britain and France to strike myriad targets in Syria is fundamentally a decision that would be made only by an Neocon or a hostage being threatened with death. Think about it, three nuclear powers attack a fourth and its ally because c. 35 Syrians were killed by poison gas that was dropped on them by what possibly was an Israel-run, false-flag operation. Under the morally indignant mantra “Assad gassed his own people!” Trump, Britain’s Theresa May, and France’s Emmanuel Macron launched missiles to chastise the foul Arab fiend and his Russian protector. Western morality and might again save the world.

Well, wait a minute. Trump leads a nation that has killed more than 60-plus millions of its own children; abolished majority rule in favor of rule by a motley, violent, and badly educated mix of racial, sexually deviant, and fascist minority groups; and has made the rule of law and the Bill of Rights quaint things of the past. Might not these depravities merit attack and destruction by some other nation or nations under the banner of morality and saving innocent Americans? Turn-about, after all, is fair play.

And what of Trump’s partners in this premeditated military intervention in Syria? Well, both May and Macron have been and are still attacking and killing their own people, and ruining their national economies, with the violent Muslim and African immigrants they have allowed to flood their countries. Their attacks are as bad or worse than Assad’s. He at least leads a sovereign government trying to save a moderate independent nation-state from Islamist forces. May and Macron, on the other hand, are deliberately trying to kill the sovereign states they were elected to protect, as well as the civil liberties of those who voted for them.

In Britain and France, unwanted, unneeded, and dole-supported immigrants are shooting, raping, robbing, kidnapping, knifing, and acid-dousing native-born citizen. Police often take days to respond to such attacks, and then tend to arrest the victims, and those who defend them, for “hate speech” if they damn their attackers publicly or on social media. It would not be a surprise to learn that the governments of May and Macron are facilitating the murder-by-immigrant of twelve of their own citizens each day. May and Macron make Assad look like a commonsense Syrian patriot, and they merit ending up hanging from the gallows, and soon.

Back to Trump. The president, in this attack, has made himself at least the temporary enemy of every man and woman who voted for him and against the continuation of their national government’s half-century of unconstitutional, interventionist, and unnecessary wars. In a single night, Trump forfeited his status as a symbol of hope and courage by knowingly descending into the swamp to attach himself to a long, stinking, and blood-stained line of lying U.S. presidents, a war-mongering brotherhood of average-American-hating men. Can he or, perhaps more accurately, does he want to get a grip and drag himself out of the sewer in which he decided to swim? We’ll see.

Finally, the military interventionism of Trump and his generals, as well as those of his predecessors and their generals, must be seen for what it is; namely, proof that there is absolutely no such thing as “American Exceptionalism”. Since 1945, most U.S. presidents, both political parties, and the governing elite have hewed closely to history’s well-trodden path of war-making rulers who do not give a damn about the welfare or desires of their citizens. This kind of behavior is unbearable by itself. But it becomes shameful, deranged and murderous when it is gussied up in the silken robes and diadem of “American Exceptionalism” and claims to be seeking to make the world safe for democracy as the bayonet’s point is pressed hard against the bellies of foreign peoples. The interventionists, since V-J Day, have used America’s young as cannon fodder abroad, and treated citizens at home as simple-minded workers from whom every last dollar in taxes must be wrung to pay for more war and war-industries.

America’s Founders, to their everlasting glory, knew that there was nothing exceptional about Americans. Those men believed that they and their fellow citizens were part of the common-run of mankind, fallen creatures of God who were capable of great good and despicable evil. The only exceptionalism the Founders saw in their countrymen and new republic was three-fold: (a) the citizens’ birthright to English liberties; (b) the republic’s location on the astoundingly well-watered, fertile, and natural resource-rich North American continent, and (c) the remoteness of that continent from the rest of the world, and especially those states and empires that wanted no republic to survive.

To nurture English liberties, take advantage of America’s geographical exceptionalism, and avoid all but necessary wars, the Founders crafted a foreign policy based on commonsense, neutrality, and non-intervention. Though they did not call their handy-work an “America First” policy, that is what it was, and it guided the republic’s international conduct for most of the 140 years that preceded the 1912 election of Woodrow Wilson, the first high and sanctimonious priest of American Exceptionalism. Since Wilson intervened unnecessarily in Latin America, the European War of 1914-18, and the Russian revolution and its aftermath, U.S. presidents have sought to bury the successful record of Founders’ America First policy and replace it with gangsterish military interventionism, clad in faux moralistic rhetoric, we see and hear today.

At least six notable men have stood up and defied the interventionists since 1917: Senator Robert M. La Follette, Brigadier-General Charles Lindbergh, Patrick J. Buchanan. Dr. Ron Paul, Dr. Rand Paul, and Donald Trump.

• Senator Robert M. La Follette was a Republican from Wisconsin who supported Woodrow Wilson’s re-election in 1916 because that charlatan was still advocating American neutrality in the Great War. When Wilson showed his interventionist intentions, La Follette adamantly opposed America’s entry into World War I, and, after the war, he labored publicly and in the Senate — with other non-interventionists — to successfully stop the surrender of U.S. sovereignty and independence required by the Treaty of Versailles and U.S. membership in the League of Nations.
• Building on La Follette’s work, and the anti-interventionism of his own father, Brigadier-General Lindbergh was the heart of the “America First” movement in the late 1930s. He was, as well, the greatest American hero of the 20^th century. The price Lindbergh paid for trying to keep America out of a then-unnecessary war was to have his reputation permanently ruined by the label “anti-Semite,” which was indelibly attached to him by British government and Jewish-American leaders, media, and organizations. To this day, the latter U.S.-based groups have maintained and periodically refreshed this libeling of Lindbergh, even through the work of prominent novelists and biographers.
• Mr. Buchanan and the two Dr. Pauls resuscitated the fading embers of Lindbergh’s America First blaze. They were consistently targeted and tarred in the same manner as Lindbergh, but courageously persevered and not only successfully kept the fire lit, but kept it slowly growing for decades.
• Mr. Trump came onto the scene promising to out-Lindbergh Lindbergh on the issue of America First. So far that promise has been a black lie, which, for me, is a lie that not only seems to display a person’s mendacity but offends the commonsense of Americans, especially that of the parents who have lost sons and daughters in their presidents’ unnecessary and always lost interventionist wars.

It is up to you, now, Mr. Trump. Did you come to praise and save the republic, or to finish it off and bury it? For now, at least, the sound of shovels digging a grave seems to be coming from the White House.

I am by nature, upbringing, education, and professional experience a law-and-order guy. In this space, I have often said that the rule of law and equality before the law are the sine qua non of American liberty and the republic’s social cohesion. I still believe this, but am beginning to think that to save both, we can no longer tolerate a Department of Justice and FBI that are clearly engaged in a lawless attempt to overthrow a legitimately elected U.S. president.

Both institutions are apparently thoroughly corrupt and politically motivated across the country, and at all levels of the organizations. We must utterly reject the crap-filled mantra that there are only a “few bad guys” in both DoJ and the FBI. Anyone familiar with federal bureaucracies knows that grand poohbahs like Sessions, Rosenstein, Mueller, his prosecutors, Wray, Comey, and McCabe never do their own legwork, and so require the services of dozens — if not hundreds — of lower-level officials to do the grunt work, men and women who can be reliably counted on to have no objection to being involved in their seniors’ crimes. When the time comes, the process of elimination in both organizations will have to be wide, deep, and utterly final.

For me, Monday’s savage, 6^th Amendment-violating, Stasi-like FBI raid on Michael Cohen’s — President Trump’s longtime personal lawyer — law office, home, and apartment broke the camel’s back. The raiders’ thug-like seizure of all documents and computers in Cohen’s professional and living quarters apparently included all paper and electronic communications between Cohen and Mr. Trump — including those that long predated Mr. Trump’s declaration of a presidential run — and so destroyed any pretense of there being a constitutionally protected lawyer-client privilege for any individual the gangsters at FBI and DoJ intend to destroy, even if the client involved is the president of the United States.

While this unconstitutional DoJ-FBI vendetta unfolds unimpeded, there still has not been a single legitimate investigation, indictment, or arrest in

1.  The case of Wasserman-Schultz and the Awan brothers in what is one of the biggest espionage catastrophes in the republic’s history.
2.  The case of Hillary Clinton’s deliberate broadcasting of highly classified U.S. security information to any U.S. enemy who had a savvy teenager on the payroll who could download an unsecured e-mail server.
3.  The case of the involvement of the Clintons, their hangers-on, and other leading U.S. politicians in Jeffrey Epstein’s island home for the pedophile frolics of the U.S. governing elite.
4.  The case of nearly half-a-hundred murders by the Clinton team which can be dated back four decades from its murder of Seth Rich.
5.  The case of the Clinton Foundation and its various appendages which stole most of the massive donations made to help Haitian earthquake victims; peddled diluted HIV serum, probably quickening the deaths of the recipients; and sold 20-percent of America’s uranium to Russia for a c. $150 million bribe to the Foundation.

How many of the homes or law offices related to those five crimes — all of which, unlike Trump’s case, has a credible legal predicate that merits investigation — have been raided? How many of that unfathomably scurvy cast of DoJ-FBI characters have been indicted? How many DoJ and FBI officials — especially Comey and Muellar — have been indicted for illegally leaking information and for covering up the Clintons’ multiple, massive, murderous, and perhaps treasonable crimes? The answer in each case is precisely none. What have the DoJ and FBI had time to do lately, aside from unconstitutionally tormenting Trump? They are investigating the massive threat to U.S. national security present in a number of two-bit corruption cases involving college basketball.

Enough is enough. The path back to the rule of law, and equality for all before the law, lies, I fear, in the destructive extra-legal activity Jefferson and his colleagues recommended in the Declaration of Independence for use only in instances when the republic’s liberty and laws are in extremis. There is little reason for any American to think his or her voice — unless that voice emanates from a rich liberal, a sexual deviant, a movie star, a well-scripted, adolescent tech giant, or an ANTIFA or BLM terrorist — has any traction whatsoever with the federal bureaucracy, the bipartisan political establishment, or the media.

Clearly, the administration of justice in the United States is now entirely in the hands of a non-elected junta of law-enforcement officials, lawyers, and judges who have seized the absolute monarch-like power of choosing who should be president of the United States, and of removing any candidate who, by some miracle, escapes their pre-election traps and corrupt electoral system and becomes president.

In addition to this astonishing lawlessness, this same gang of people, whose crimes have never been fairly and thoroughly investigated, are also waging war against the 1^st Amendment — they praise major social-media providers for censoring conservatives and citizen reporters — and the 2^nd Amendment, seeking to make sure they take the tools of rebellion from Americans and thereby nullify Jefferson’s guidance to overthrow by any means necessary any U.S government that is, in reality, a tyranny.

If the advice of Jefferson and his colleagues in the Continental Congress falls a bit short of adequate guidance for those who love the republic and perceive its approaching demise, a quick prayer to the Lord — found in an eternal source of inspiration and resolve — will buck them up and prepare them for the worst. In the 144^th Pslam, we find the following petition to the divinity, one in which the Pslamist, seeking support for his efforts, writes,

Blessed Be the Lord, My Rock

Blessed be the Lord my God, who teacheth my hands to fight, and my fingers to war.

My mercy, and my refuge: my support, and my deliverer: My protector, and I have hoped in him: who subdueth my people under me.

Lord, what is man, that thou art made known to him? or the son of man, that thou makest account of him?

Man is like to vanity: his days pass away like a shadow.

Lord, bow down thy heavens and descend: touch the mountains and they shall smoke.

Send forth lightning, and thou shalt scatter them: shoot out thy arrows, and thou shalt trouble them.

Put forth thy hand from on high, take me out, and deliver me from many waters: from the hand of strange children:

Whose mouth hath spoken vanity: and their right hand is the right hand of iniquity.

No blessing ever seems to arrive in a manner that allows it to be appreciated and lingered over. In the case of President Trump’s stated intention to soon withdraw all U.S. forces from Syria, the beauty of that announcement is marred by the dangerous and ongoing insanity of the aggression of the Trump administration and NATO against Russia for defending itself against unwarranted, Western interventionist, regime-change operations in the Ukraine.

• Syria: Well, it seems too good to be true. President Trump has said that all U.S. military forces will be leaving Syria in the near term. He has been saying such things since he sent additional troops there, but not with such firmness. Could he be starting to understand what America First means in terms of conducting a non-interventionist foreign policy? I suppose we will see, but it would certainly prompt smiles and a sigh of relief among the base of his supporters — especially among the wavering — and would get us out of there before Syria and Iraq inevitably dissolve into a savage, all-out sectarian war. There seems to have been no push-back against Trump from the Pentagon, and the strong objections from Senator Graham and the Saudi Crown Prince — two reliable anti-Americans — suggests that they genuinely fear Trump will withdraw all U.S. ground troops and air assets. Getting out of Syria might well justify a modest Independence Day parade, throw in a quick departure from Afghanistan and that would call for a large parade celebrating the saving of lives, limbs and enormous expenditures. It also would mark a great strategic success for the republic by making Sunni and Shia Muslims free to kill each other to their hearts content, and perhaps even motivating the Russians and Chinese to get more deeply involved in the coming regional catastrophe.
• Russia: “I learned to hate the Russians all through my whole life, if another war comes, it’s them we must fight, to hate them and fear them, to run and to hide, and accept it all bravely with God on my side.”^[1] Bob Dylan wrote those lyrics for a song called “With God on Our Side”, published in 1963. At the height of the Cold War, Dylan’s lyrics precisely portrayed his own, my, and our classmates’ grammar school experience, which was, indeed, replete with practice air-raid sirens, scary films about the Communists, and hiding in school basements — well-stocked with surplus U.S. military rations and barrels of water — and under classroom desks. And it seems that Dylan’s analysis is more current today than I think he would like, thanks to its championing by the remaining and largely stinking detritus of my own generation’s elite — Graham, McCain, senior British Tories, the Neocons, the Israel-Firsters, the mainstream media, and the media’s Soros-paid strategic analysts — none of whom can possibly have God on their side.

It must be remembered that the grounding of the current confrontation with Russia was the successful efforts of the BBC, the EU, and Obama and Hillary to overthrow the pro-Russian Ukraine government. In response to that attack on Russia’s historical defensive periphery, Putin re-annexed Crimea, the home base of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet. This action was completely justifiable in terms of Russia’s life-and-death national security interests — which for all nations must always trump international agreements — and likely would have been taken by any Russian ruler facing the same situation. Since that annexation, the deeply embarrassed and terminally adolescent West has sought to bring Putin and his country to daggers drawn by: (a) imposing economic sanctions on Russia because Putin did his patriotic duty in Crimea; (b) damning him and Russia for defending the West by killing much of the Islamic State that was defeating the West at home and abroad; and, now, by (c) expelling Russian diplomats on the basis of “lethal nerve gas attack” in Salisbury, England, one in which the British government said forty people were gassed but no one died; about which the area’s medical director said only three people were hurt and that there was no nerve gas involved; and for which the British government has not released a jot of evidence and has ridiculed Moscow for requesting such material. Russia is a nuclear-armed, Great Power, a nation proud of its history, and one that looks on Ukraine as part of its sphere of influence and a key to Russia’s defense. The West is playing with fire, and ought to be grateful for Putin’s patience — which will not last forever. It probably is pointless to think that Western leaders will suddenly become adults and stop seeking conflict with Russia, and so it is well to remember the last stanza of Dylan’s song: “So now as I’m leavin,’ I’m weary as Hell, The confusion I’m feelin’, Ain’t no tongue can tell, The words fill my head, And fall to the floor, If God’s on our side, He’ll stop the next war.”^[2] Let us hope He saves us from the nefarious activities of the dying and so desperate and war-wanting Western elites.

It also is worth noting that Britain’s Tory government — whose prime minister, Theresa May, wants to avoid implementing the electorate’s decision that the UK leave the EU — and those of France and Germany are seeking to find a means to not only prevent the now accelerating collapse of the EU, but also to neutralize what appears to be the rising strength of populism, which is focused on each nation reclaiming its national sovereignty and a continent-wide halt to Muslim immigration before it yields civil wars in most EU states. The EU leaders, as a kind of last gasp option, are trying to frighten all Europeans by resuscitating the Cold War’s Bolshevik-menace meme at a time when Putin’s Russia is proud and defiant, but does not have an economic pot to piss in. The Europeans, with the Trump administration’s support, are running a con on all Europeans and Americans that is meant to save the EU from a thoroughly merited demise. The United States should be ashamed and called out for assisting the EU in this ignoble, war-threatening, and anti-democratic operation.

Mr. President:

I hope you will forgive my damning you, but, sadly, you fully merit the condemnation, not only from me, but from the tens of millions who voted for you because you championed an America First policy that would stop the killing and maiming of their soldier-children in unnecessary, interventionist, and bankrupting wars. John Bolton, Mr. President, has been an advocate and architect of many of those always lost wars, he has supported them all, he will kill as many of our kids and spend as many of our dollars as are necessary to serve Israeli interests, he will leak our most classified information to the Israelis, and he will favor unnecessary wars over non-intervention in every situation he confronts. Plainly, Mr. President, Bolton is an anti-American shit-bird.

About ten days ago a reader of this space asked what I thought about the rumor of John Bolton being in line to replace H.R. McMaster as the National Security Adviser. My wife just got in the door and told me that exactly that disaster had come to pass.

Let me start by printing here the answer I provided to the above-mentioned question.

“Thank you for writing. I cannot imagine a worse choice for MacMaster’s replacement than Bolton. He is the walking talking epitome of an Israel-firster shill, and he would transfer any secret data he is privy to the Mossad station chief in Washington. He is a neoconservative war-monger and, as far as I can tell, hasn’t had a new idea for as long as I have heard him on FOX. Even before the anchor finishes his question, I almost always know nearly verbatim what that ass is going to say in response. I don’t know why savvy guys like Lou Dobbs, Cavouto, and Brett Baier give him the time of day. Trump used him as a potential nominee for secretary of state and national security adviser after the inauguration, but threw him back into the gutter in which he dwells and chose someone else. I hope and pray that recent history will repeat itself.”

MFS

Mr. President, you are involved in two losing wars — in Afghanistan and Iraq — and Bolton will want more U.S. participation in each. Although the U.S. and Western media are not covering the wars, the truth is that the non-defeated Islamic State (IS) has moved into the southern suburbs of Damascus; IS and the Taliban are expanding their control in Afghanistan; after 17 years the U.S. military and its useless allies cannot even secure Kabul; Iraqi Shias are merrily murdering mounting numbers of Sunnis; and IS conducts ambushes and bombings in Iraq whenever and wherever it wishes. Your senior CIA, Defense, and political advisers, Mr. President, have given you nothing in Afghanistan or Iraq save opportunities to be mired in each until you have to flee as they fled from Saigon. Bolton is a loser and he will back those losers to the hilt, and so more of our kids and dollars will be wasted. Burned up in the waste of those two wars will be young American men, women, and dollars that could be used to control the border, build the wall, and rid the republic of dole-sucking illegal alien felons. And because he is more loyal to Israel than to America, Bolton will look for opportunities to cause trouble with Russia, which is always a priority of Israel First.

Where has your commonsense gone, Mr. President? That characteristic was manifest on the campaign trail, but it has now ebbed away to a barely visible shadow. You could have, Sir, picked a better national security adviser than Bolton from a group of Marine gunnery sergeants. The country as whole — and most especially middle America, which provides the troops your generals and advisers use like cannon fodder — are sick of the unnecessary, interventionist wars that Bolton, the Neocons, and the Israel-Firsters love to start.

Again, Mr. President, God-damn you for choosing that war-loving, anti-American bastard Bolton.

“To find pleasure in the calamities of other nations would be criminal; but to benefit ourselves by opening an asylum to those who suffer in consequence of them is as justifiable as it is politic.”

Alexander Hamilton, Report on the Subject of Manufactures, 5 December 1791[1]

For decades, Americans have listened to Democrats, establishment Republicans, and the mainstream media lecture them about why they have a moral responsibility to welcome, financially support, and give legal preference to arriving legal and illegal immigrants who are very often the dregs of the societies they are leaving. The result has been an ocean of illiterate, dole-loving, unskilled, and often violent foreigners who guzzle down all the money the American taxpayer can provide, refuse to assimilate, vote blindly for America-hating American politicians — read Democrats — and generally constitute a potent acid that is dissolving the republic’s social cohesiveness. It is time for a change.

If we must have more legal immigration into America, there is one way we can make sure the new entrants will be worth having. I would suggest that for the next three years we have a program that gives exclusive access to applications for immigration only to those individuals whose governments are either killing them or refusing to protect them against violent minorities, especially against violent Muslims. To keep this program small and focused — so as to be able to assess its value at the end of three years — I would recommend that we take in only white South Africans and white Europeans from a limited number of EU countries. Why? Because native-born whites in both regions currently are threatened with increasingly violent attacks that are conducted with either their government’s support or their government’s indifference to their safety.

South Africa: Since the West — stupefied by multiculturalism and diversity — forced white South Africans to turn over the country to the communist/terrorist Mandela and his rainbow coalition of moronic white liberals and violent Black communists, the result has been an unmitigated economic, social, and human disaster for the Republic of South Africa. What was once the economic powerhouse of the African continent is now approaching the status that characterizes most other African states: an ill-governed, economically sinking, lawless, and increasingly violent shithole. But no matter, the turnover of power is complete, and South Africa is probably beyond saving with anything short of divine intervention.

So we should let the South African communist-gangsters drown, while killing one another, in their own poisonous juices. But we can take in as many white South Africans as we can, especially the rural-based ones who are reported to grow up to 70-percent of the country’s food crops. This section of the population is now seeing its property seized without payment by the Black communists who run the national government. These officials also have turned a resolutely blind eye toward — and may be arming — Black gunmen who are killing white South African farmers, their wives, and their children simply for the racist fun of that genocidal endeavor. These white South African targets of the Black communist murderers are a sturdy lot. Their ancestors tamed a savage wilderness, built a powerful economy, nearly defeated the British Empire in the Boer wars, and aligned themselves with the Western allies’ during both world wars. In addition, most speak English; are Christians, self-reliant, and familiar with weapons; bring some applicable skills with them; and would repay an eventual grant of U.S. citizenship with loyalty to the republic, a strong sense of community, thoughtful voting, and hard work. They would be a first step toward beginning to dilute the utter worthlessness of that great ocean of human refuse that Obama and his party brought in — legally and illegally — to mindlessly vote Democrat and assist that party’s ongoing effort to destroy the United States.

Europe: The United States now stand in a ridiculous situation in regard to its relations with the NATO and EU countries. With few exceptions — Poland, Hungary, and other states in Eastern Europe — the member states of these two organizations, each claiming to be bound by democratic tenets, have become willing oppressors of their own native-born populations. Blinded by the multiculturalism-and-diversity disease, Europe’s political leaders have inundated much of the continent with the same kind of human refuse that Obama brought to America. Now faced with ten million or more of these illiterate, unassimilable, violence-prone, and mostly military-age young men from the Arab world and Africa, European governments have turned their backs on such concepts as equality before the law, free speech, majority rule, effective and fair performance of duty by police and judges, and law-and order regimes that protect all citizens. These increasingly authoritarian governments and their socialist EU parliament are in the process of stripping their native citizens — especially if they are white and Christian — of their civil liberties and allowing them to be the unprotected-by-police targets of Muslim immigrant violence.

From Norway south to Sicily, the native-born — especially white women and children — are being molested, raped, physically beaten, “groomed” from childhood for future use as revenue-raising prostitutes, and doused with acid. Their attackers are seldom arrested, and when arrested and sent to trial are often let off the hook by judges who claim they were only doing things consistent with the culture from which they came, which, while true, ought not to protect them from the rule of law. In addition, if the raped, beaten, acid scarred, and molested victims, or their family members, dare to publicly condemn the governments’ that allowed them to be physically attacked, they are at times arrested and always publicly damned as racist for voicing the simple fact that they had been attacked by identifiable Muslim immigrants who are the prize pets of their government.

With many of Europe’s governments having decided to become the allies and abettors of their native-born citizens’ lethal Muslim enemies and tormentors, many white, Christian Europeans may find a chance to emigrate to the United States to be an attractive option. And, certainly, our republic would benefit from white, Christian immigrants who brought with them an education, English-language capability, pertinent work skills and experience, and a willingness to assimilate.

I am not suggesting here that would-be immigrants from these two regions should be accepted in huge numbers nor — as did Obama — that they be accepted without ensuring they would serve U.S. national interests and not threaten internal security. They would, for example, have to pass stringent security vetting; ought to be relatively young, say not more than thirty-five; have a high- or vocational-school education; display at least a working-level knowledge of English; possess work experience that roughly matches known employment openings in the United States; enjoy generally good health, with no serious communicable diseases; and display an ability to use in-door plumbing.

Overall, white immigrants from Europe and South Africa, the latter now bound for genocide, would be the first groups of immigrants in decades — save for Asians — that could be counted on to make a positive and near-term contribution to the republic’s social cohesion and economy. Such an immigration policy also would show — at long last — an understanding of the Founders’ intent that the national government did not have to accept immigrants if they appeared unassimilable or otherwise harmful to the republic. Indeed, because the Constitution was written to serve American interests, and so offers no protections for foreigners located outside the United States, the national government has both the lawful right and the moral responsibility to facilitate the legal entry of only those immigrants who can be expected to benefit the United States.

After thinking more about the Broward County school shooting, I believe that it is worth taking a look at the issue from the national level, and to suggest that the Democrats, the other leftist groups, and the media are deliberately moving this country to the edge of a civil war, probably believing those it oppresses will not take up cudgels against them. Several supporting points for this idea stand out to me as most important:

• To repeat, the great mass of Americans know that they are clearly being lied to about the school attack in Florida, as they continue to be lied to about the Las Vegas shooting. This congenital government lying, as I have said here before, is by itself a good reason for buying the most powerful weapons possible and stockpiling ammunition.
• The Democrats, the media, the banks, the tech giants, and some other businesses are making an all-out effort to dismantle the 2nd Amendment. That is, a small but rich and powerful section of the population wants to take an inalienable right from the rest of the population, while they, their guard forces and governments at all levels will remain armed to the teeth. If successful they will have what all authoritarians know is necessary to hold power, a monopoly on the tools of force. Strike 1.
• The same entities also are picking up the pace of their ongoing strangulation of the 1st Amendment by mandating the deletion of what some claim are thousands of conservative and libertarian social media sites and channels. We are seeing in real-time — in this once free-speech republic — the Nazi-like spectacle of a thoroughly corrupt, terminally adolescent outfit like CNN ordering YouTube and other social media providers to remove such outlets and those orders are being followed to the letter. Strike 2.
• The same entities, President Trump, and much of his party all seem to be moving toward preventing all access to the AR-15 rifle — which is not an “assault rifle” — a gradual process they will start by raising the age at which one can by the rifle and finish by banning all rifle sales. Why? Because the rifle has been used in school shootings? No, this is only a justification for the unjustifiable. And the left’s claim that the Founders, when embedding the 2nd Amendment in the Constitution, did not foresee the great growth in the power and lethality in small arms, and so would not have included it today, is an illogical and completely bullshit piece of argumentation. The Founders included the 2nd Amendment precisely because they knew that over time, weaponry — like the tools of agriculture, industry, maritime commerce, communications, etc. — would grow in strength and complexity. Their goal was never, during the duration of the republic’s life, to allow a situation where the citizenry could not defend itself with the best weapons of the age against a tyrannical government. To think that the Founders believed American citizens could protect their liberties from tyrants emerging in future generations and centuries with black-powder, muzzle-loading muskets accurate at no more than 80-100 yards is to regard them not as the great, prescient men they were, but as idiots with the same room-temperature IQs as Maxine Waters, and Adam Shiff. The Democrats, et al., obviously want to ban the AR-15 and then all rifles because they detest all Americans who disagree with them and intend to rule them as they did their Black slaves in the antebellum era. Strike 3.
• The same entities are responsible for forming sanctuary cities and states in an effort to break the republican government guaranteed by the Constitution, as well as the Union that is the sheet-anchor of the republic’s existence. The leaders of these cities and states warn, protect, and hide illegal aliens, criminals, MS-13 gang members, Antifa, BAM, and BLM terrorists and thereby endanger the lives of citizens and the national government’s law enforcement officers seeking to execute lawful operations meant to deport or incarcerate the scum with which these locales are rife. Strike 4 – one more than necessary.

The Democrats and their aforementioned allies, who spare no effort to denigrate the Confederacy’s political, military leaders, and destroy their statues, are much more violent Union-destroyers than the Confederates ever were. As I have said, I believe the Confederates started the war too soon by firing on Fort Sumter after Lincoln tried — as was his duty as president — to resupply it with provisions. To justify any attack, Davis should have waited for Lincoln to fire the first shot, by a U.S. military attack, a naval blockade, or ramming anti-slavery legislation through the post-secession Congress. Just before Davis ordered the attack, his Secretary of State, Robert Toombs, told him that his order

“will inaugurate a civil war greater than any the world has yet seen … It is suicide, murder, and will lose us every friend at the North. You will wantonly strike a hornet’s nest which extends from mountains to ocean, and legions now quiet will storm out and sting us to death. It is unnecessary; it puts us in the wrong; it is fatal.” [1]

Toombs was right. Davis had no credible constitutional basis for secession and war, and his attack did unite much of the north and rallied it to save the Union. Today, however, Americans have the constitutionally legitimate reasons to rebel the South lacked. A nefarious, often-violent, and always anti-republican cabal led by the Democrats is dedicated to dismantling the population’s inalienable and natural rights, censoring or removing its opponents on the internet, ruining the reputations and businesses of people who disagree them, and breaking the Union. These are legitimate constitutional justifications for a rebellion aimed at permanently eliminating the republic’s domestic foes and, as well, they are very close to being factors that make such a war not only necessary but the constitutional duty of a well-armed, anti-tyranny citizenry.

Four strikes? Perhaps enough is enough? “There is great justice with our cause,” Machiavelli wrote in The Prince, “because when it is a necessary war, that war is just; and weapons are hallowed when there is no other hope but in those weapons.” [2] Unless President Trump acts soon to stop this blatant attempt to install tyranny “there is no other hope but in those weapons.”

I have not previously chosen to write about school shootings in this space except to excoriate Obama and other politicians in both parties who regularly built their plans for eradicating the 2^nd Amendment on the back of school attacks and dead students. I do that again here to the same politicians, journalists, and businessmen who are trying to capitalize on young corpses to further their plans to disarm Americans. I also will add my view that President Trump is playing into the hands of these anti-republican bastards with his irrelevant, nonsense talk about banning bump-stocks and pegging the age qualification at twenty-one years before an individual can purchase a rifle. Mr. President, do not deal with this gang of authoritarians by setting precedents that can be used to further undercut the 2^nd Amendment in the future. A few other points.

Why raise the rifle-buying age to 21?

This is an action that would cut away at a core part of many father-son relationships in the United States; it is something to be expected only of a Democrat. Hunting is an activity in which fathers and sons bond, and has been such since Englishmen first came to North America and became Anglo-Americans. Do you intend to also forbid fathers from buying rifles for their under-eighteen sons, or daughters for that matter? Will an eighteen-year old no longer be able to get a hunting license because he is not allowed to have a rifle? Will an eighteen-year old and his Dad be fined or arrested if a game warden catches them hunting or target-shooting with rifles? If this becomes a legal infraction, will the government seize the father’s guns as punishment for giving his son a rifle? The bastard anti-gunners are playing a long-game, Mr. President, and your proposed concessions to them will be used to pry open the door to destroy the 2^nd Amendment long after you are back with your company.

Who gives a rat’s ass what the kids are saying?

What kind of an adult and commonsense republic listens to kids who 15 or 16 years of age, and takes seriously what they have to say about the alteration of its Constitution? Only a moron would pay the least attention to their words on this score. We should all take a lesson from having amended the Constitution to allow 18 year-olds to vote, an action which gave us the republicanism-hating likes of Obama and Bill Clinton as presidents, the aged communist Sanders as the heartthrob of whining and greedy millennials, and nearly gave us Clinton’s wretchedly treasonous wife as president. Who gives a good damn what these drug-and-sex addled kids have to say about anything? They will do the Democrats and the media’s bidding by publicly advocating an end to the 2^nd Amendment during the day, and then they will stay up all night smoking dope, randomly copulating, and playing video games or watching movies that do nothing but depict and celebrate all forms of unlimited violence against human beings. Kids of this age have only one job and that is to get an education. They should be free to say what they want, but only a fool would do more than listen politely. To listen to them and then allow their uneducated and callow words to have any role whatsoever in guiding the ship of state is the stuff that insanity and Democrats are made from.

What really occurred at the Broward County school?

As I said above, I have tried to avoid mentioning anything about mass shootings that would suggest the authorities were lying to the public about what happened during the attacks. That reluctance died last October in Las Vegas, when what I watched live on the TV screen bore absolutely no resemblance to the fantastical stories Americans got from officials of at all levels of government, and most especially, and not surprisingly, from the FBI. But this Broward business is even worse than Las Vegas. The astonishingly high number of clear and detailed warnings about the purported shooter’s lethal intentions and capabilities that the FBI, the school system, and the county sheriffs chose to ignore, cannot be explained away as mistakes or blamed on an overly bureaucratic system. Likewise, the mainstream media’s deliberate suppression of the views of 2,996 of the school’s 3,000 students — a goodly number of them eyewitnesses — some of their teachers, and the videotapes that contradict the official attack story cannot be chalked-up to a mistake or an oversight; rather, it is a deliberate attempt to hold tight to a plainly false story and use it against the 2^nd amendment and President Trump. Then there are the four armed Broward County deputy sheriffs, the so-called men who stood silently outside the school because they had clearly been told beforehand by their leaders not to do anything to prematurely stop the murdering. Finally, the decision to tear down the school — thereby destroying any contradictory evidence lying therein — and YouTube’s rapid deletion of many dozens of leading conservative alternative-media channels that dared give voice to the information and videos suppressed by the mainstream media surely makes it clear that the attack was real; that many students were killed and wounded; and that it was the fruit of a well-planned operation to murder both the students and the 2^ndAmendment. The plan almost certainly was concocted by Democrats, the media, and the county’s Hillary-loving political leaders and sheriffs. If this likelihood can be proven a certainty, it would be well for the conspirators to recall that turn-about is always fair and, indeed, marvelously delightful play.

I had foolishly thought that all the syrupy calls for blessed bipartisanship in 2018 would peter out and return to storage closet labeled “nonsense.” That burnout has not occurred, and many pundits and journalists still demand bipartisanship, hands-across-the aisle, and the joining of forces in efforts for the betterment of the “American people.” It is much too late for all of that, and that really should be plain to everyone.

At no time since 1861 have Americans been divided to a greater extent by political differences, cultural warfare, and contending sets of worries about the republic’s future. It also seems likely that Americans of 1861 –probably more southerners than northerners — also shared a deep disgust with the inability of their national government to resolve decades-old problems like slavery, tariffs, and western expansion. There also was a festering anger among many southerners at all levels of society for the rhetorical abuse that had been relentlessly heaped upon them by the North’s abolitionists, novelists, editors, and politicians for their region’s economic backwardness, aristocratic tendencies, and slave holding. On the civil war’s eve, Senator Judah Benjamin (D-Louisiana) told his senatorial colleagues that “the heart of the matter was not so much what the abolitionists and Republicans had done or might do to the South, as it was the things they said about the South — and the moral arrogance with which they said them.” Benjamin simply told his colleagues that words can kill — and they did, and will again. [2] (NB: This savage rhetoric was not unlike that which has been for thirty years piled upon American conservatives and traditionalists by the Democrats and their enslaved ethnic, sexually deviant, illegal alien, and feminist plantation-dwellers.) The scenario shaped by these factors yielded a savage four-year civil war, fought by the North mainly to preserve the Union, not to end slavery.

The war cost more than 620,000 dead, devastated large areas in the southern states, and resulted in a joint military/carpet-bagger occupation of much of the territory of southern America by their sometimes vengeful and always avaricious fellow northern Americans. But there were no executions exacted from the reckless motivators of the civil war — Northern abolitionists and Southern Fire-Eaters — and only one from the political leaders, generals, subordinate officers, sailors, and infantrymen of the Confederacy.

Still, the memory of fiercely acrimonious antebellum debates, the costs of war, and the post-war military occupation of the South yielded a deeply divided population and it took more than a century to reunite it into a single people and country. If I recall correctly, the city of Vicksburg did not mark Independence Day after Appomattox until 4 July 1944. Though lengthy, this reconciliation process reestablished a bond among Americans from both sections that survived world wars, depression, cold war, over-taxation, unnecessary interventionist wars, inundation by illegal foreigners, and the emergence of a near-tyranny in the guise of the national government.

One might suppose that if post-1865 Americans could work their way back to unity, their contemporary counterparts could do the same. Certainly, that seems to be the rather engrained and media-pushed popular assumption, just join hands and all will come right.

I think that is a fantasy. Whatever name is appropriate to the political left in these days, there is none among the leftists with whom I would have myself, my children, or grandchildren associated. Indeed, there are none that I would not deem it dishonorable to be associated with. The truth, at least for me, is that there is no longer any discernible common ground between what I will, for the sake of argument, call right and left in the United States. Why would I want to reach out my hand, or ask my elected representative to reach out his hand, to those who want to:

• Destroy the 1^st, 2^nd, and 4^th amendments to the Constitution, the amendments that in combination are indispensable to preserving liberty and republican government. The only reason the Democrats fear the second amendment, and want weapons banned, is that so long as there is a heavily armed citizenry — preferably with military-grade weapons — their desire for absolute, arbitrary, and permanent power cannot be attained. Commonsense makes a palpable lie of the Democrats and the left when they assert they want gun control to “protect children,” such as those killed in Florida on 14 February 2017. Building on that lie, Democrats led by Wasserman-Shultz, who herself is awaiting an espionage indictment, are organizing Parkland’s children and their parents to play fools in marches that will blame the killings on inanimate objects, the banning of which save the children. Only a moron would buy that argument from the Democrats and the left who have, since 1973, championed the murder of more than 60 million unborn Americans and sold their body parts. Sadly, our educational system produces almost nothing but morons, people who have been indoctrinated to ignore commonsense and hew closely to a callous and murderous ideology. Their opposition to and undercutting of the 1^st and 4^th amendments also are aimed at restoring slavery in the United States. Overall, the only defense against the Democrats and their plantation-folk’s deliberate campaign to destroy the Bill of Rights is to continue resist their moves politically, while accumulating high-powered weapons and stocks of ammunition to ensure that as many of them as possible can be killed if their drive toward tyranny seems to be nearing success.
• Inundate the nation with illegally entering foreigners who cannot/will not speak English, who are uneducated and unskilled, and who either cannot or will not assimilate. The Democrats and the left care as much about illegal immigrants as they do about the unborn; that is, they matter only as tools. In the first instance to celebrate the only feminist success — abortion (aka: premeditated/unpunished murder) — and, in the latter, to create herds of ignorant, cattle-like voters, most coming from semi- or fully authoritarian nations. People, in other words, who do not understand Anglo-American liberties and so cannot handle them responsibly, but who will form the base on which the Democrats’ bid for power ultimately depends. I will not peacefully agree to be ruled by a government of any party whose support depends on such republic-destroying human refuse. Perhaps others will. I will not.
• Surrender our sovereignty and independence to some kind of “world government,” which, by definition, could only rule by diktat, military coercion, and reeducation camps. We are already saddled with a war on drugs framed by the UN, and are for some reason afraid of what the Third-World-dominated UN and the capitulate-to-Islam EU will think if we control immigration and our borders. We barely escaped paying for world government when Trump walked away from the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Paris Climate Accord. With sovereignty, independence, and enormously reduced immigration, legal and illegal, America can take care of itself and be a good international citizen. Without those attributes, Americans will be the slaves and funders of worldwide authoritarianism, which the Democrats intend to preside over in North America.
• Murder infants for the purpose of persuading women to believe that because they are allowed — and often encouraged — to murder other human beings at will, they are the equal of men. Those supposedly mature women — now wearing clothing in public that is meant to resemble their genitals — do not seem to recognize that they can never be the equal of any man who merits being called a man, namely, those men who are willing to risk life-and-limb to protect children and kill, without qualm, those who threaten them. These women also have been duped into thinking that because they are free ruin a man’s career, reputation, and family by simply claiming to have been offended by his speech, actions, looks, or fists they are the equal of men. That is not so. The ability of women to negate the standing legal system by simply weeping and coming up with claims, pictures and/or witnesses — which are easy to manufacture, see Alabama’s recent, stolen senatorial election — of those men who offended them in any number of ways, and ruin them thereby, is nothing more than a return to one of the Democratic Party’s hallowed and definitive traditions — the lynching of its enemies. Women who are physically attacked by men, of course, have every right to take them to court and seek a conviction. In this republic, no one — male or female — is guilty until that guilt is proven in court, and no pre-guilty-decision punishment, save arrest and perhaps incarceration without bail, can be imposed. Many women seem to believe they are above the law — a status given them by power-hungry Democrats, the media, and cowardly Republican politicians — but they are not. Currently, these women are riding for the fall that generally comes to creatures of their kind, namely, people who combine the traits of liars, slanderers, self-proclaimed demigods, murderers, and willing toys of Hollywood directors and pornographers. A well-merited and hopefully painful fall is more than their due, and it is long overdue.
• Institutionalize racism through the educational system they have subverted and now control. In this system, teachers assert that the history of the republic is a shameful nightmare; that pitting the component parts of the citizenry against each other in terms of ethnicity, gender, race, language, faith, and sexual normality and deviancy are the only ways to unite the country; and that all white people are responsible are for all of the nation’s problems, past and present. Students are taught that illegal aliens are protected by the Constitution; that border control and voter IDs are tools of racist whites; and that Confederate statues and battle flags are signs of racism, rather than the truly effective tools of national reconciliation they have irrefutably proven to be over the past 150-plus years. If some Black Americans, Antifa, BLM, Black Panthers, white intellectuals, and BAM — all slaves of the Democrats — say that they do not like the icons and want them destroyed, the only reasonable response to them is “tough shit,” accompanied by the restoration of those symbols of our republic’s history and post-Civil War reconciliation to their places of honor by well-armed national guard or regular military units.
• Distort and/or prohibit the use of language they find disagreeable or, more accurately, threatening to their plans to permanently seize power. This campaign is so idiotic and unconstitutional that even a modicum of commonsense would cause it to be drained-off into the sewer where it belongs, alongside its demented advocates. But commonsense is not in season; indeed, it may have fled North America. The laws that punish individuals or groups for “hate speech” are clearly violations of the 1^st Amendment, and laws that assert that there are far more than two genders — and those that provide for punishing people who deny that clearly absurd dictum — are sure signs that their proponents are unable to understand the simple reality of the line that absolutely divides sexual normality from sexual deviancy. The Democrats and the left, of course, are champions of perversion of all sorts, especially among the young. They are led on perversion front — naturally enough — by a female Supreme Court justice who believes that children would benefit from lowering the age of consent to twelve.

The foregoing attributes of contemporary times amount to a pre-civil war environment, which the Democrats, the left, and their media jackals now claim that they yearn for, recently using as their spokesman the Hollywood cretin/blimp Rob Reiner. They seem to think that they have invented the idea, as they have listened to none of their deplorable countrymen for nearly half a century. As a result, and most wonderfully, they strongly believe that warrior Reiner’s words about being prepared for “the last battle of the civil war” will strike fear into those who oppose the Democrats and their hatred for the republic.

This kind of fatal misperception occurred once before in American history. When Jefferson Davis and his lieutenants determined on secession and then shelled Fort Sumter, they did so on the basis of Abraham Lincoln’s election not on any overt act by which the national government attacked the constitutional rights of the southern states. Constitutional rights for the south were safe under Lincoln at the moment the war began, but Davis and his colleagues started the southern rebellion believing that Lincoln’s assurances were lies; that not all of the north would fight, and so the full power of the northern states would not be applied; and that, in any event, the military prowess and innate valor and courage of Southerners would prevail. They were incorrect, and by attacking a federal fort they rallied much of the north around the issue of preserving the union — not ending slavery — they started a war that the South ultimately lost.

The Democrats, the left, and their Black, deviant, ethnic, terrorist, and feminist coolies seem to have the same kind of misperception about today’s loyal Americans that the Confederates had of northerners in their day. In most ways, the Democrats’ misperceptions are likely to be more lethal than those the Southerners. The Confederates fought to preserve the rights they honestly believed to be their birthright under the Constitution. The Democrats, et al., however, make no such assertion; indeed, they manifest, at every turn, a burning hatred for the republic, the Constitution, and those who are loyal to the rule of law, demand equality before the law, and support the union and the ability of Americans to maintain their liberties with force if necessary. They must no longer be seen as potential partners in governing the country, they are the enemies of most Americans, their history, their language, families, and faith, and the definition of America found in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. If they will not reform themselves into a reasonable configuration of a U.S. citizen, they must be eradicated root and branch.

Here is where the hate-driven blindness of baldy Reiner and his ilk in regard to their foes dooms their cause. If he and his anti-republic followers press the issue — especially in regard to the 1^st, 2^nd,, and 4^th Amendments, and state and local governments refusing to execute their obligations as members of the union — and believe they will not be resisted, they are in for a surprise. In 1861, William T. Sherman told several of his pro-secession friends in Louisiana that,

You speak so lightly of war. You do not know what you are talking about. … You mistake … the people of the North. They … are not going to let this country be destroyed without a mighty effort to save it. … Only in your spirit and determination are you prepared for war. In all else you are totally unprepared, with a bad cause to start with … in the end you will surely fail.” [2]

Warrior-blimp Reiner and his associates need only to replace the phrase “people of the North” in the foregoing quotation with the phrase “people of Constitutional order” and they will begin to see those who will — courtesy of the 2^nd Amendment — slaughter them if that becomes the sole remaining option for preserving our constitutional republic. As Sherman noted, Reiner and the Democratic left “will surely fail” and they will be dead and, most assuredly, unlamented.

Mr. President:

Well done on releasing the Nunes memo, Sir. But for our republic, it is, sadly, only the first step, and multiple tougher ones are to come. The mainstream media are already saying that the memo is fraud, or that it there is nothing illegal in it. That mad sack of shit McCain has said the memo is irrelevant and has urged on the Mueller investigation. Your own CIA Director and FBI Director tried to stop the memo’s publication. (NB: Those two must go, Mr. President, they are disloyal, disgraces to their organizations, and liars when it comes to their oaths of office.) You have a big, arduous, and troubling task ahead, Mr. President, but you must, as President Reagan — peace be upon him — once said stay the course, and be perfectly and enduringly bloody minded.

You are in a fix, Mr. President, but your not alone. Those who voted for you remain loyal, 2nd Amendment-equipped, and eager to help. And I must think that the last American institution with integrity, courage, unlimited talent in many fields, and loyalty to the U.S. Constitution — the U.S. Marine Corps — would be eager to help and could make itself felt.

You also should recall — and perhaps publicly thank — the alternative media outlets and their reporters, commentators, and analysts that have helped mightily to bring us to this happy day. Without them, only the Democrats and their paid media whore-jackals would have been heard, and you may already have been impeached.

In this vein, I think especially of Infowars, Lionel, The Still Report, Styxenhammer666, Mike Cernovich, Jerome Corsi, William Binney, Joe diGenova, Roger Stone, Jack Posobiec, Brandon Tatum, Alex Jones, Q-Anon, and H.A. Goodman. They have done the heavy, alternative-media lifting for you and for truth, Mr. President, and they have been rhetorically and physically attacked, censored, and economically damaged for doing so, There are also many other alternative-media outlets, commentators, and analysts who are publishing the truth, and I fail to mention them only because I cannot focus on many more than I am at the moment.

Press on, Mr. President. Without your cunning and courage, your voters, and your alternative-media advocates of the truth, the republic would be a dead letter. But much remains to be revealed, Sir, and many miscreants remain to be punished.

The elected and appointed members of the United States national government seem to be incapable of recognizing that there is a radically and perhaps permanently disaffecting impact on the citizenry’s affection and loyalty for it when that government’s does nothing to end — or at least confront — the problems that endanger the republic’s survival. This failure to act and resolve easily resolvable problems is best seen at the moment in the prolonged period that it is taking to publish the memo written by Representative Nunez.

There seems to be nothing in that memo has anything to do with America’s overseas enemies, so the claim that its release would harm national security is a lie. All Americans and most of the rest of the world know that disclosure of the memo poses no threat of identifying invaluable sources and methods. NSA’s satellites, computers, and other technological tools — and perhaps similar CIA assets — have been publicly spoken off ad nauseum as the means by which the coup-fueling intelligence was collected. The heavily worn sources-and-methods defense against publication is thus also a lie. No one needs to know what specific technological tools that were used to collect the intelligence. If a sourcing statement is needed they can simply say “according to techie stuff,” which gives nothing away. These are lies that would not even fool a dolt like the average journalist.

The release of Nunez’s memo is being delayed because it contains the names of the coups’s leading FBI, DoJ, CIA, NSA, and National Security Council participants; the fact that Obama was and is at the helm of the effort; and that Republicans like McCain, Graham, Corker, Collins, and Flake probably were allied with the coup-makers. The delay also is meant to give Mueller a few more days to indict President Trump, and thereby make the truth look like a fabrication to hide Trump’s guilt. The delayers on both sides of the aisle are not after justice and/or the protection of sources/methods, they are trying to suppress data that will yield the magnificent and long overdue annihilation of much of the bipartisan governing elite.

A few other desperate points seem to be worth making:

Rule of Law

What to say about the unfolding story emanating from the criminals who lead Department of Justice and the FBI? First, I think it again underscores the shimmering brilliance of the Founders’ decision to leave their posterity the 2^nd Amendment. At the moment, its seems pretty clear that the FBI and DOJ were in cahoots in an effort to make sure Hillary Clinton was elected, and, when that failed, they immediately began a multi-front effort to remove President Trump from the presidency. I, of course, do not know how all of this is going to wash out. But if the story continues to proceed along its present trajectory, the Trump administration will have to arrest, indict, try, and incarcerate Obama, Hillary and Bill Clinton, Susan Rice, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, James Comey, Robert Mueller, Andrew McCabe, Rod Rosenstein, Michael Morrell, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, John Brennan, Phil Mudd, James Clapper, Valerie Jarret, and multiple dozens of others whose names and places of employment will become known to the citizenry as time passes. If the Trump administration fails to prosecute and convict, offers plea deals to the major players, or simply cocks-up the prosecution, the responsibility for cleaning out the maggots will pass to the citizenry. At that point, there will be no choice for Americans eager to preserve their country and constitution but to execute these miscreants — with guns or ropes, it does not matter which, but I would prefer public hangings — to prevent their reentry into society, or their escape to foreign lands to rest and then plot another attempt to destroy the republic. A refusal by the Trump administration to inflict all the punishment the law allows on these lawless copperheads will be the clear signal that no American leader is willing to restore the rule of law and equality before the law. In turn, that will mean it will be up to everyday Americans to use their 2^nd Amendment rights — as the Founders intended — to destroy those of their fellow countrymen who have built the tyranny that the U.S. government is today, as well as those who have been their funders (Soros, etc.), censors (Zuckerberg, Dorsey, etc.) street thugs (Antifa, BAM, BLM, etc.), abettors (Pelosi, Schiff, Finestein, McCain etc.), and media shills (too many to name, but Bill Kristol, Joe Scarborough, and Shepard Smith would be a good start).

Afghanistan

The media this week reported that 1,000 more U.S. troops and a squadron of A-10 aircraft — the Thunder Bolt II, but widely known as the “Warthog” — have been sent to Afghanistan. With these additions, the Trump administration has almost doubled the number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan since the inauguration. The additions are solid evidence that the Afghan war is still lost and cannot be turned around. For the past six months, U.S. air forces have pounded hell out of targets associated with the Taliban and the Islamic State — and have had no impact on turning the war’s tide. (NB: They also are reported to have destroyed the growing opium crops, which is a small, one-time negative for the heroin-traffickers, which in the short term, will drive up their profits — as they sell reserves and wait for next year’s crop — unless chemicals were used to make the growing fields permanently barren.) The addition of more troops, and especially the superb ground-support A-10 aircraft, strongly suggests that U.S. commanders know that their programs to train an effective Afghan military have utterly failed — not even the capital of Kabul can be secured — and that they now have no choice but to try dig the mujahideen out of caves, mountains, and other difficult topography and kill them to a man. If this is the case, such a strategy would cause a steady increase in U.S. military casualties; require greatly increased funding, fueling further Afghan thievery; open the door for more and more troops because, as the Neocons’ will chant “we have suffered too much to give up now;” and still bring us no closer to any of the goals identified by President Trump and his generals. It is not time to cut and run home, it is time to cut and sprint home.

The FBI

The recent exposure of the sedition, arrogance, and criminality at the top and next-to-top levels of FBI leadership caused me to reflect on my own dealings with the FBI from 1992 until 2004, and especially from 1996 to 2004. Those dealings with FBI officers left me with a decided bias against them. They always seemed to be me to have three priorities: (1) the FBI’s reputation, (2) their own career advancement; and (3) making sure they never shared any information. Leaving aside my perceptions, the fact is that they were always against any attempt to capture or kill Osama bin Laden and his lieutenants. They helped, for example, to prevent the execution of a covert operation to capture Khalid Shaykh Muhammad in Qatar, and instead supported the National Security Council (NSC) and State Department plan to ask Qatar to extradite KSM to the United States. The latter plan won, the request was made to Qatar, and KSM disappeared and was not seen again until a few months before 9/11. On another occasion, the FBI counterterrorism chief told us there was no reason for the FBI to assist in capturing bin Laden if they did not credit for the event. A few weeks later the FBI and NSC blocked an attempt to capture bin Laden and turn him over to an Arab country that knew how to keep a secret. Another attempt to capture bin Laden was quashed when the FBI sided with George Tenet, John Brennan and the then-U.S. ambassador in Saudi Arabia to cancel a capture-attempt operation because the Saudis opposed it — to this day I wonder which of those worthies told the Saudis about the secret operation — and promised to get bin Laden from the Taliban themselves, but not turn him over to us. As always with Saudi promises on bin Laden, nothing happened except silence. Granted that this is a pretty small sample, but it does suggest a certain attitude among senior FBI officers — and CIA and NSC officers, for that matter — that never places the United States and the lives of its citizens at the top of their priority lists.

One other point on this issue. There is a mantra currently being spoken by anyone who condemns senior FBI leaders for trying to fix the election for Hillary and then to oust President Trump. It goes along the following line: “Of course, we are not condemning the lower-level, hardworking FBI officers who are all over the country working to keep Americans safe.” Now, my own experience with the officers who are the recipients of that lavish paean, would move me to temper, just a bit, its universal application. The working-level FBI officers I dealt with from 1994 until 2004 all feared their supervisors, trembling at even the thought of a harsh word directed at them from him. First, they were all we-do-what-were-told men, never asked a question about a decision — even if it hurt U.S. interests — and were, based on my experience, the perfect kind of foot soldiers for executing without question the recent seditious activities of Comey and his lieutenants. (NB: How many of these work-a-day FBI officers, pray tell, have resigned and spoken publicly about the cabal?) Second, they were all classified-document thieves. Each working-level FBI officer I managed or knew of over the decade just mentioned did not hesitate to steal CIA documents, sometimes illegally carrying them out in briefcases and at other times filling empty copy-paper boxes to the brim with them. They were not much good at disguising their robberies, however, and were often reported for their thefts, as well as for their discussion of classified materials over unsecure telephones. But they were ultimately protected by the senior-most CIA officers and allowed to continue to work — and steal — in CIA headquarters. For reasons unclear to me, the top CIA leaders always seemed to fear the FBI, and so blithely and deliberately refused to do their sworn duty to protect sources and methods, as well as to punish those who put them at risk.

Empathy

President Trump, the elite of his party, the Democrats and their beloved criminals, slaves, and automatons, and most of the media seem to neither fully recognize nor perhaps even sense that everyday, working Americans are fresh out of empathy for illegal aliens. It apparently surprises the elite that empathy grows thin as the illegals kill, rape, mow-down while driving drunk, steal from, and rob thousands of genuine Americans. Working Americans have been paying for the well-being and defense of foreigners since the Marshall Plan; spending their kids’ lives since 1950 on losing wars that only the governing elite finds worthwhile; and watching their nation being overrun by uneducated, unskilled, non-English-speaking, and illegal immigrants who live on the dole; add massively to the cost of the school and health systems the citizenry funds, and illegally vote in elections to defeat the commonsense politicians, policies, and frugality Americans support. These illegals also come from countries without experience with republican government, only with corrupt authoritarian regimes and societies, so they naturally vote for Democrats ready to keep them on the dole, and give them legal privilege over the native-born and legal immigrant/citizen, in return for their vote. Empathy can be a worthy emotion, but it is not remotely worthy when it means Americans must be happy to commit and fund national, linguistic, and historical suicide by turning their country over to a great host of foreign scavengers who contribute little or nothing to the economy and work actively to destroy society’s cohesion. Damn them all, Mr. President, including the so-called Dreamers. Get all of them them out of the United States, Mr. Trump, and build the wall to seal them and their like out of this republic forever.
