decide whether or not there should be war. # 3 : We must limit our military forces to home defense

Daniel
Davis, Matthew Hoh, and Danny Sjursen reflect on America’s war in Afghanistan in light of the Washington Post’s
publishing of a trove of formerly confidential documents on the war. The report, which is being hailed as this
generations Pentagon Papers, details the ways officials in the Bush, Obama, and
Trump administrations have lied about the progress being made in Afghanistan and the need to keep troops
there. Even though lots of people like Davis, Hoh, and Sjursen have been speaking out for years
about America’s forever wars, they say that it’s embarrassing for top brass to admit that lower level officers
could see strategic failures that the war planners could not—and so voices like theirs mostly just don’t get heard.
At some point all three guests had moments that convinced them they couldn’t keep contributing to this lost cause
in good conscience, and have since striven to show the world what’s really going on. We
need to bring back a healthy skepticism, they say, of the idea that America’s military is a wise force for good in
the world. (bold emphasis added)

"This support to the Saudi-UAE effort to wage this war in Yemen,

“A lot of people at least the corporate media,
the western media, the establishment media - whatever you want to call it - tend to tell us that this is a proxy
war between Saudi Arabia and Iran...Is that true?” [Rick Sanchez]
It’s not to the extent that they talk about it at all. MSNBC ignored
this conflict for two years as Fair showed. But, now that they are talking about it; what they need to point out is
that the Houthis have been winning for two reasons: One is that they actually recommandeered billions of dollars of
weapons the US supplied the deposed and dead dictator Saleh. And worked along side the Yemeni army which was
formerly supplied by the US not Iran. Iran is supplying some political and media support but not the weapons that
our government and the Saudis claim. So the
idea of a proxy war is false . The Houthis are an endogenous
nationalistic resistance force that is fighting against a puppet government that poses an existential threat to
them!” [Max Blumenthal]

THE TRUMP JONES DECEPTION
2
Under the rubric of Zionism, the dispossession of Palestinians and annexation of
their land has for decades been hidden in plain sight, along with Israeli apartheid and ethnic
cleansing. Though tourism flows in steadily to "The Holy Land," masking these egregious past and
present events from scrutiny, has been and is nothing short of Orwellian. The Zionist state of
Israel is a totalitarian state, whose ideologues' sentiments match those advocating world
government. As Rev. Chuck Baldwin exclaims, "For all intents and purposes, the Globalist agenda
(the New World Order, call it what you will) and the Zionist agenda, are one and the same." The
Trump Jones Deception 2, demonstrates this fact, and the way in which both Donald Trump and Alex
Jones are a part of it.

"What do I think this is going to lead to? Well, now this is going to give Trump the excuse for
not leaving Syria in spite of the fact that most of ISIS has been relegated to pockets in the desert and there is
no reason for the US troops to be there. In fact two of them were killed recently, so now this chemical attack is
going to provide the perfect excuse to stay in Syria for longer. Is it going to lead to a wider regional
war?…Possibly. Anything can happen at this point because it’s very easy to spark a world war if Russia feels that
it’s being threatened it might attack.
…Well basically the way you have to see it is that France, Turkey, and the US are a bunch of
vultures that are trying to pick off the corpse of what they believe to be a dead Syria. They are trying to
basically divide the areas of control. France had its eyes on Manbij and turkey has its eyes on Manbij, cause they
have this deal they want to make with the US that only everything east of the Euphrates belongs to their Kurdish
proxies, and everything west of the Euphrates in the north of Syria is supposed to belong to Turkey. And France is
kind of trying to carve out its own chunk. Of course at the end of the day Syria is alive. The military is strong.
And the Syrian president has said that the entirety of Syria is going to be liberated.
So the idea that any of those forces are going to stay and takeover a piece of Syria is a pipe
dream. And it will lead to death and WAR and destruction. Already two US troops have been killed…this is sadly you
know only the beginning and for what reason?…For Syrian oil? The US has plenty of oil. It’s not about wanting more
oil. It’s about making sure that Syria can’t control and use its oil to rebuild because that’s going to threaten
Israel. At the end of the day, this is really just about Israel, and protecting Israeli interests."

This week there is only one story to talk about – the Syria Chemical Attack and
President Donald Trump’s military response on the 100th anniversary of the United States entry into
World War I. Infuriating many of his supporters who oppose foreign wars and nation building,
President Trump’s decision to launch 50+ Tomahawk cruise missiles into Syria has sparked a
significant debate across the nation. Will the United States aim to topple Syrian President Bashar
al-Assad and add Syria to the list of failed nation-building military interventions? Only time will
tell.

On the 100th anniversary of the United States entry into World War I, President
Donald Trump targeted a Syrian air base, launching over 50 Tomahawk cruise missiles and destroying
the facility. United States Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has also alluded to an international
coalition forcing the ouster of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. After campaigning on a foreign
policy without entangling foreign wars and nation-building, many Trump supporters feel betrayed and
angry.

After reports of a chemical attack in Syria, the mainstream media and the political
establishment are pushing for the ousting of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. What do we actually
know about this chemical attack and why has there been such a quick push for further United States

Ron Paul: Obama Has Started ‘Immoral
and Illegal’ War in Iraq and Syria Obama’s new wars in Iraq and
Syria are totally immoral as well as illegal under US and international law, Ron Paul said
by Daniel McAdams | Lew Rockwell Blog | September 28, 2014
O bama’s new wars in Iraq and Syria are
totally immoral as well as illegal under US and international law, Ron Paul told RT’s Abby Martin yesterday. The
idea that US force will solve the problem is also mistaken, he said. “US action will increase the violence,” rather
than reduce it, he added.
Said Dr. Paul about US involvement in the war against ISIS:
“Why should someone 6,000 miles away, that has been stirring this pot for so long, be the group
that is going to bring everyone together and organize the fight?”
The fearmongers who have terrified many Americans into supporting another war in the Middle East
are “not concerned with the defense of America,” said Ron Paul. But the weapons manufacturers are making out very
well, with the US bombing its own weapons that have fallen into the hands of ISIS.

Why I Don’t Trust Trump
on Iran
http://www.ronpaulinstitute.org/archives/featured-articles/2020/january/06/why-i-don-t-trust-trump-on-iran/
Written by Ron Paul | January 6, 2020
President Trump and his Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told us the US had to assassinate Maj. Gen.
Qassim Soleimani last week because he was planning “Imminent attacks” on US citizens. I don’t
believe them.
Why not? Because Trump and the neocons – like Pompeo – have been lying about Iran for the past
three years in an effort to whip up enough support for a US attack. From the phony justification to
get out of the Iran nuclear deal, to blaming Yemen on Iran, to blaming Iran for an attack on Saudi
oil facilities, the US Administration has fed us a steady stream of lies for three years because
they are obsessed with Iran.
And before Trump’s obsession with attacking Iran, the past four US Administrations lied
ceaselessly to bring about wars on Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Serbia, Somalia, and the list
goes on.
At some point, when we’ve been lied to constantly and consistently for decades about a “threat”
that we must “take out” with a military attack, there comes a time where we must assume they are
lying until they provide rock solid, irrefutable proof. Thus far they have provided nothing. So I
don’t believe them.
President Trump has warned that his administration has already targeted 52 sites important to
Iran and Iranian culture and the US will attack them if Iran retaliates for the assassination of
Gen. Soleimani. Because Iran has no capacity to attack the United States, Iran’s retaliation if it
comes will likely come against US troops or US government officials stationed or visiting the
Middle East. I have a very easy solution for President Trump that will save the lives of
American servicemembers and other US officials: just come home. There is absolutely no reason for
US troops to be stationed throughout the Middle East to face increased risk of death for
nothing. [bold emphasis added]
In our Ron Paul Liberty Report program last week we observed that the US attack on a senior
Iranian military officer on Iraqi soil – over the objection of the Iraq government – would serve to
finally unite the Iraqi factions against the United States. And so it has: on Sunday the Iraqi
parliament voted to expel US troops from Iraqi soil. It may have been a non-binding resolution, but
there is no mistaking the sentiment. US troops are not wanted and they are increasingly in danger.
So why not listen to the Iraqi parliament?
Bring our troops home, close the US Embassy in Baghdad – a symbol of our aggression - and let
the people of the Middle East solve their own problems. Maintain a strong defense to protect the
United States, but end this neocon pipe-dream of ruling the world from the barrel of a gun. It does
not work. It makes us poorer and more vulnerable to attack. It makes the elites of Washington rich
while leaving working and middle class America with the bill. It engenders hatred and a desire for
revenge among those who have fallen victim to US interventionist foreign policy. And it
results in millions of innocents being killed overseas.
There is no benefit to the United States to trying to run the world. Such a foreign policy
brings only bankruptcy – moral and financial. Tell Congress and the Administration that for
America’s sake we demand the return of US troops from the Middle East!
"I don’t believe
them. Why not? Because Trump and the neocons – like Pompeo – have been lying about Iran
for the past three years in an effort to whip up enough support for a US
attack."
" Bring our troops home, close the US
Embassy in Baghdad – a symbol of our aggression - and let the people of the Middle East solve
their own problems."

Syria got hit first. Now, the US readies a preemptive strike against North Korea. The sudden
shift in foreign policy – a reversal from campaign pledges to hawkish moves – came as a surprise for many Trump
supporters. And it's caused relations with Russia to hit their lowest point yet. Despite America’s top diplomat
traveling to Moscow for talks, it seems more differences than common ground were established. So what drives
Trump’s ambition overseas? And is the new administration simply following in Obama’s footsteps? We ask three-time
US presidential candidate and former Congressman Ron Paul on SophieCo.

SIR! NO
SIR!
In the 1960’s an anti-war movement emerged that altered the course
of history. This movement didn’t take place on college campuses, but in barracks and on aircraft carriers. It
flourished in army stockades, navy brigs and in the dingy towns that surround military bases. It penetrated elite
military colleges like West Point. And it spread throughout the battlefields of Vietnam. It was a movement no one
expected, least of all those in it. Hundreds went to prison and thousands into exile. And by 1971 it
had, in the words of one colonel, infested the entire armed services. Yet today few people know about the GI
movement against the war in Vietnam.

My own reasons behind why you should NOT join the military.
My Views do not represent any group and are solely my own from experience and understanding of
world events. I no longer serve the Military and I am no longer loyal to my government. I am not a "Pacifist" I
merely believe our Young people should not be involved in wars that only benefit a few filthy rotten
individuals.

We Who Dared to Say No to War
| Thomas E. Woods. Jr.
VIDEO
Jeffrey Tucker interviews Tom Woods on the topic of Tom's anthology (edited with Murray Polner),
'We Who Dared to Say No to War: American Antiwar Writing from 1812 to Now.'
Recorded in Auburn, Alabama, at the Ludwig von Mises Institute, 21 July 2010.
https://mises.org/store/We-Who-Dared-to-Say-No-to-War-P539.aspx
http://www.lewrockwell.com/2008/09/thomas-woods/we-who-dared-to-say-no-to-war/
We Who Dared to Say No to War uncovers some of the forgotten but compelling body of
work from the American antiwar tradition—speeches, articles, poetry, book excerpts, political cartoons, and
more—from people throughout our history who have opposed war. Beginning with the War of 1812, these selections
cover every major American war up to the present and come from both the left and the right, from religious and
secular viewpoints. There are many surprises, including a forgotten letter from a Christian theologian urging
Confederate President Jefferson Davis to exempt Christians from the draft and a speech by Abraham Lincoln opposing
the 1848 Mexican War. Among others, Daniel Webster, Mark Twain, Andrew Carnegie, Grover Cleveland, Eugene Debs,
Robert Taft, Paul Craig Roberts, Patrick Buchanan, and Country Joe and the Fish make an appearance. This first-ever
anthology of American antiwar writing offers the full range of the subject’s richness and variety.
Armed Chinese Troops in Texas!
VIDEO
I t is important to separate hunting down
terrorists who attack our country and deserve justice (which Ron Paul is 100% for), and not confuse justice with
occupying entire countries for a decade under the guise of the "War on Terror" or "Spreading Democracy". Terrorists
are individuals and small groups, so why are we picking fights with entire nations? BILLIONS for Defense, NOT A
PENNY for Empire.
This speech is called "Imagine" and it was given by Ron Paul on March 11, 2009. The original text of the talk is
below:
Imagine for a moment that somewhere in the middle of Texas there was a large foreign military base, say Chinese or
Russian. Imagine that thousands of armed foreign troops were constantly patrolling American streets in military
vehicles. Imagine they were here under the auspices of "keeping us safe" or "promoting democracy" or "protecting
their strategic interests."
Imagine that they operated outside of US law, and that the Constitution did not apply to them. Imagine that every
now and then they made mistakes or acted on bad information and accidentally killed or terrorized innocent
Americans, including women and children, most of the time with little to no repercussions or consequences. Imagine
that they set up checkpoints on our soil and routinely searched and ransacked entire neighborhoods of homes.
Imagine if Americans were fearful of these foreign troops, and overwhelmingly thought America would be better off
without their presence.
Imagine if some Americans were so angry about them being in Texas that they actually joined together to fight them
off, in defense of our soil and sovereignty, because leadership in government refused or were unable to do so.
Imagine that those Americans were labeled terrorists or insurgents for their defensive actions, and routinely
killed, or captured and tortured by the foreign troops on our land. Imagine that the occupiers' attitude was that
if they just killed enough Americans, the resistance would stop, but instead, for every American killed, ten more
would take up arms against them, resulting in perpetual bloodshed. Imagine if most of the citizens of the foreign
land also wanted these troops to return home. Imagine if they elected a leader who promised to bring them home and
put an end to this horror.
Imagine if that leader changed his mind once he took office.
The reality is that our military presence on foreign soil is as offensive to the people that live there as armed
Chinese troops would be if they were stationed in Texas. We would not stand for it here, but we have had a
globe-straddling empire and a very intrusive foreign policy for decades that incites a lot of hatred and resentment
towards us.
According to our own CIA, our meddling in the Middle East was the prime motivation for the horrific attacks on
9/11. But instead of re-evaluating our foreign policy, we have simply escalated it. We had a right to go after
those responsible for 9/11, to be sure, but why do so many Americans feel as if we have a right to a military
presence in some 160 countries when we wouldn't stand for even one foreign base on our soil, for any reason? These
are not embassies, mind you, these are military installations. The new administration is not materially changing
anything about this. Shuffling troops around and playing with semantics does not accomplish the goals of the
American people, who simply want our men and women to come home. 50,000 troops left behind in Iraq is not conducive
to peace any more than 50,000 Russian soldiers would be in the United States.
Shutting down military bases and ceasing to deal with other nations with threats and violence is not isolationism.
It is the opposite. Opening ourselves up to friendship, honest trade and diplomacy is the foreign policy of peace
and prosperity. It is the only foreign policy that will not bankrupt us in short order, as our current actions most
definitely will. I share the disappointment of the American people in the foreign policy rhetoric coming from the
administration. The sad thing is, our foreign policy WILL change eventually, as Rome's did, when all budgetary and
monetary tricks to fund it are exhausted.

What’s So Important About a Declaration of
War? May 7, 2011 By Tom Mullen
http://www.tommullen.net/featured/whats-so-important-about-a-declaration-of-war/
P residential hopeful Ron Paul insists that
the U.S. government shouldn’t go to war without a declaration of war. His son Rand has also taken this position, as
have several libertarian-leaning Tea Party candidates. According to the U.S. Constitution, the congress is invested
with the power to declare war. These constitutionalists say that this declaration should be a requirement before
military action is authorized.
I’m not sure that this is resonating with those that are unfamiliar with what a declaration of war
means. For most people, the declaration of war is a formality whereby the president makes sure that it is agreeable
to the Congress that he utilizes the military. Some might even go so far as to say it is the president “asking
permission” from the Congress to do so. By this reasoning, both Presidents Bush and Obama have complied, especially
considering H.J. Res. 114 (October 16, 2002). With that resolution, Congress authorized the president to use
military force in the war on terror. What is the difference between that and a declaration of war?
The answer is both intuitive and supported by history. First, a “declaration” has nothing to do
with “permission.” Neither is it the same thing as creation or initiation. One can only declare something that
already exists. Therefore, a declaration of war does not create a war or initiate a war. A declaration of war is a
resolution passed by Congress recognizing that the United States is already at war.
The intent of the declaration of war power is for the government to have an adjudication process
for war analogous to a criminal trial for domestic crimes. Evidence must be presented that the nation in question
has committed overt acts of war against the United States. The Congress must deliberate on that evidence and then
vote on whether or not a state of war exists. The actual declaration of war is analogous to a conviction at a
criminal trial. The Congress issues the “verdict” and the president is called upon to employ the military. To wage
war without a declaration of war is akin to a lynching: there has been no finding of guilt before force has been
employed in response.
Herein lies the difference between H.J. Res. 114 and a declaration of war. In order for President
Bush to have obtained a declaration of war against Iraq, he would have had to present his case that Iraq had
already committed overt acts of war against the United States. Like a prosecutor, he would have had to convince the
“jury” (Congress) that Iraq was guilty – not of “possessing weapons of mass destruction” but of having already
aggressed against the United States. Obviously, he would not have been able to do this. In fact, the absence of any
overt acts of war by the nations in question is the reason that there were no declarations of war against Korea,
Viet Nam, Bosnia, or any other nation that the U.S. government has waged war against since WWII.
The declaration of war power requires the government to obey the law of nature that that no
individual or group may initiate force against another. It ensures that before the executive launches a military
action against another nation, a separate body deliberates on evidence and agrees that said nation has been an
aggressor. Only then is waging war justified.
This interpretation is supported by every declaration of war in U.S. history. Here are two
examples.
When James Polk asked Congress to declare war on Mexico in 1846, he said,
“But now, after reiterated menaces, Mexico has passed the boundary of the United States, has
invaded our territory and shed American blood upon the American soil. She has proclaimed that hostilities have
commenced, and that the two nations are now at war. [emphasis added]
As war exists, and, notwithstanding all our efforts to avoid it, exists by the act of Mexico
herself, we are called upon by every consideration of duty and patriotism to vindicate with decision the honor, the
rights, and the interests of our country. . . .
In further vindication of our rights and defense of our territory, I invoke the prompt action of
Congress to recognize the existence of the war, and to place at the disposition of the Executive the means of
prosecuting the war with vigor, and thus hastening the restoration of peace.”[1] [emphasis added]
After reviewing Polk’s request, Congress issued the following declaration of war,
“Whereas, by the act of the Republic of Mexico, a state of war exists between that Government and
the United States: Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of American in
Congress assembled, That for the purpose of enabling the government of the United States to prosecute said war to a
speedy and successful termination…”[2] [emphasis added]
Note the italicized words. The state of war already exists because of the act of the Republic of
Mexico.
Americans are probably most familiar with the last occasion upon which the United States declared
war. In what may have been the only constitutional act of his entire presidency, President Roosevelt asked Congress
to declare war on Japan during this famous speech:
Mr. Vice President, Mr. Speaker, Members of the Senate, and of the House of Representatives:
Yesterday, December 7th, 1941 — a date which will live in infamy — the United States of America was
suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.
The United States was at peace with that nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in
conversation with its government and its emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific…Yesterday,
the Japanese government also launched an attack against Malaya. Last night, Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong.
Last night, Japanese forces attacked Guam. Last night, Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands. Last night,
the Japanese attacked Wake Island. And this morning, the Japanese attacked Midway Island. I ask that the Congress
declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December 7th, 1941, a state of war has
existed between the United States and the Japanese empire.”[3] [full text of speech here]
In response, Congress resolved,
“Whereas the Imperial Government of Japan has committed unprovoked acts of war against the
Government and the people of the United States of America: Therefore be it Resolved by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the state of war between the United
States and the Imperial Government of Japan which has thus been thrust upon the United States is hereby formally
declared; and the President is hereby authorized and directed to employ the entire naval and military forces of the
United States and the resources of the Government to carry on war against the Imperial Government of Japan; and, to
bring the conflict to a successful termination, all of the resources of the country are hereby pledged by the
Congress of the United States.”[4]
Every other past declaration of war in U.S. history follows exactly this format. The president
presents evidence. The Congress votes on the validity of that evidence. It declares that war already exists. It
then directs the president to use the military to end the war.
Had this constitutional process been followed, the United States would not have been involved in
the wars in Korea, Viet Nam, Iraq, Somalia, Bosnia, or Afghanistan. The declaration of war power ensures that the
U.S. government never initiates force, but only uses the military to defend its citizens against an aggressor.
Following the constitution on this point would have kept the United States out of every war since
WWII and prevented the U.S. government from running up a large portion of its unresolvable debt. Abiding the law of
nature is not only moral, but cost-effective.
During the South Carolina Republican Primary Debate on May 5, Herman Cain articulated his position
on the government’s war powers. He stated that, as president, he would not involve the U.S. military in war unless
three criteria were met. 1. There was a clear objective. 2. There was a verifiable U.S. interest in question. 3.
There was a clear path to victory.
While his comments clearly titillated the audience panel interviewed after the debate, one must
recognize that Adolph Hitler’s wars would have been justified on this basis. Are those the only criteria upon which
the U.S. government should base its decision to go to war? How about, “They attacked us?” That should be the one
and only reason.
Going to war without a declaration of war not only represents aggression against the nation in
question, but against every U.S. taxpayer as well. The only argument that can be made for taxing a free people is
that taxation is necessary to underwrite protection of their lives, liberties, and properties. The only way that
they can be compelled to pay for a war is if a state of war exists between them and another nation. To tax them for
a war fought for other reasons, including defending people other than themselves, is to aggress against them. Once
the government is allowed to do that, it is time to stop calling the United States “the land of the free.”

Here’s What Candidate Obama Said About Military
Intervention In 2007

Q . In what circumstances, if any, would the president
have constitutional authority to bomb Iran without seeking a use-of-force authorization from Congress?
(Specifically, what about the strategic bombing of suspected nuclear sites — a situation that does not involve
stopping an IMMINENT threat?)
Obama: The President does not have power under
the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an
actual or imminent threat to the nation.
- Interview with Charlie Savage, December 20, 2007 (full text here)
Ok, so Obama lied again…what’s new. Well what’s new is that launching missiles into Syria right now could lead
to a much wider global conflagration, i.e. World War III. I don’t think anybody wants that. Or do they? It actually
seems as if the sociopaths in charge of these United States DO want this, and therefore we must do everything we
can to prevent it from happening.
Not only is it key to inform people how ridiculous it is to say a chemical weapons attack is a reason for war
when the
U.S. government itself aided Saddam Hussein in chemical warfare in the 1980′s, but we must also explain to
people that use of force in Syria is entirely unconstitutional.
While candidate Obama clearly understood this, President Obama is suffering from another case of chronic
constitutional amnesia, a condition he developed on or around January 19, 2009. This maniac, who we call President,
is suddenly parading around like this war is his to start. As if he is some sort of Emperor. Well it is not, and he
is not.
Somehow the Big O, our precious “constitutional scholar,” must have skipped over Article 1 Section 8 of the
Constitution. If you need a reminder, here it goes:
U.S. Constitution – Article 1 Section 8
The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and
provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall
be uniform throughout the United States;
To borrow money on the credit of the United States;
To regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian
tribes;
To establish a uniform rule of naturalization, and uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies throughout
the United States;
To coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin, and fix the standard of weights and
measures;
To provide for the punishment of counterfeiting the securities and current coin of the United
States;
To establish post offices and post roads;
To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors
the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries;
To constitute tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court;
To define and punish piracies and felonies committed on the high seas, and offenses against the law of
nations;
To declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and
water;
To raise and support armies, but no appropriation of money to that use shall be for a longer term than two
years;
To provide and maintain a navy;
To make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces;
To provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrections and repel
invasions;
To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the militia, and for governing such part of them as may
be employed in the service of the United States, reserving to the states respectively, the appointment of the
officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;
To exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten miles
square) as may, by cession of particular states, and the acceptance of Congress, become the seat of the government
of the United States, and to exercise like authority over all places purchased by the consent of the legislature of
the state in which the same shall be, for the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dockyards, and other needful
buildings;–And
To make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and
all other powers vested by this Constitution in the government of the United States, or in any department or

Got that Barry? Go to Congress.

Why Must We Declare War?
August 30, 2008 By Tom Mullen
http://www.tommullen.net/featured/why-must-we-declare-war/
I n May of 2003, the United States invaded
Iraq without a formal declaration of war. While there has been spirited debate about the justification for the war,
there has been relatively little discussion about the lack of a formal declaration of war by Congress. When it has
been brought up by libertarians and strict constitutionalists, the general argument against concern over this
“formality” has been to point out H.J. Res. 114 (October 16, 2002), wherein Congress authorized the use of military
force. The substance of the argument boils down to, “Congress authorized the president to use military force, so
what is the difference between that and a declaration of war?
As we will see, there is a fundamental difference between a declaration of war and an authorization
to use force. In fact, it is a distinction of enormous importance, for the former is the rightful defense of
liberty by a free people, and the latter the unjustified initiation of aggression by an autocratic state. The
implications reach to the very heart of our republic, calling into question our morality, our freedom, and our
national sovereignty.
To understand this requires an understanding of what the founding fathers meant when they granted
war powers to Congress. The founders based their ideas on government firmly upon the Enlightenment philosophers,
who gave us our traditions of liberty. While war is popularly thought of as the active use of military force – the
battles, skirmishes, airstrikes, invasions, etc. – these, properly understood, are not war. Rather, there is a
state of war, separate from the actual fighting, that was clearly defined by the Enlightenment philosophers. This
“state of war” must exist before military force is justified.
John Locke devotes an entire chapter to The State of War in his Second Treatise on Civil
Government. In it, he writes,
“Men living together according to reason, without a common superior on earth, with authority to
judge between them, is properly the state of nature. But force, or a declared design of force, upon the person of
another, where there is no common superior on earth to appeal to for relief, is the state of war: and it is the
want of such an appeal gives a man the right of war even against an aggressor, tho’ he be in society and a fellow
subject.”[1]
So, according to Locke, the state of war can arise by either an aggressor using force, or declaring
the intention to use force. In either case, the relationship between the two parties has changed from a state of
nature, or a state of civil society (depending upon whether or not they live under a civil government), to a state
of war. Thus, the state of war begins not with the first pitched battle or airstrike, but can begin merely by the
aggressor declaring his intent to initiate force. War is a state, or a relationship, that exists totally apart from
the physical act of fighting. Fighting or military action is actually a result of, or a response to, the state of
war. The use of force is only justified in defense, when a state of war exists. He also writes,
“This makes it lawful for a man to kill a thief, who has not in the least hurt him, nor declared
any design upon his life, any farther than, by the use of force, so to get him in his power, as to take away his
money, or what he pleases, from him; because using force, where he has no right, to get me into his power, let his
pretence be what it will, I have no reason to suppose, that he, who would take away my liberty, would not, when he
had me in his power, take away everything else. And therefore it is lawful for me to treat him as one who has put
himself into a state of war with me, i.e. kill him if I can; for to that hazard does he justly expose himself,
whoever introduces a state of war, and is aggressor in it.”[2]
While Locke is arguably the most direct philosophical influence on the founding fathers, other
Enlightenment writers also view the state of war as a condition, or a relationship separate from any tangible use
of force. Thomas Hobbes writes,
“For war consisteth not in battle only, or the act of fighting, but in a tract of time, wherein the
will to contend by battle is sufficiently known: and therefore the notion of time is to be considered in the nature
of war, as it is in the nature of weather. For as the nature of foul weather lieth not in a shower or two of rain,
but in an inclination thereto of many days together: so the nature of war consisteth not in actual fighting, but in
the known disposition thereto during all the time there is no assurance to the contrary. All other time is
peace.”[3]
While making an argument concerning conquests, Rousseau also recognizes that the state of war is a
condition or relationship between two parties that exists outside of the actual fighting,
“First: because, in the first case, the right of conquest, being no right in itself, could not
serve as a foundation on which to build any other; the victor and the vanquished people still remained with respect
to each other in the state of war, unless the vanquished, restored to the full possession of their liberty,
voluntarily made choice of the victor for their chief.”[4]
Interestingly, Rousseau argues here that the state of war can continue after the fighting has
ceased, as in his example of a conquered people still under the power of their conqueror.
Clearly, the Enlightenment philosophers recognized that the state of war was a condition or a
relationship between two parties, separate and distinct from the martial actions that the parties take as a result.
The state of war begins with the use of force or the declared intention to use force by an aggressor, and gives the
other party the right to use lethal force to defend itself. Thus, in the tradition of liberty, the use of force is
justified in defense when a man or a nation recognizes that an aggressor has put itself in a state of war with that
man or nation.[5] The state of war can also persist after the fighting ceases if the conditions which created it
still exist.
This was the context in which the founding fathers gave power to Congress to declare war. It was
not the power to initiate a war, which is never justified, but the power to officially recognize that a state of
war already exists, and that force is therefore justified. This interpretation is supported by every request by a
United States President for Congress to declare war, and every resolution of Congress to do so. James Madison was
the first U.S. President to request that Congress declare war – against Great Britain in 1812. In his request, he
said,
“We behold, in fine, on the side of Great Britain a state of war against the United States, and on
the side of the United States a state of peace toward Great Britain.”[6]
When Congress declared war upon Great Britain in 1812, the resolution reads,
“Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in
Congress assembled, That war be and the same is hereby declared to exist between the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland and the dependencies thereof, and the United States of America and their territories; and that
the President of the United States is hereby authorized to use the whole land and naval force of the United States
to carry the same into effect, and to issue private armed vessels of the United States commissions or letters of
marque and general reprisal, in such form as he shall think proper, and under the seal of the United States,
against the vessels, goods, and effects of the government of the said United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland,
and the subjects thereof.”[7]
Here we find a clear distinction between the state of war, which Madison argues already exists, and
the commencement of the use of military force. Similarly, when James Polk asked Congress to declare war on Mexico
in 1846, he said,
“But now, after reiterated menaces, Mexico has passed the boundary of the United States, has
invaded our territory and shed American blood upon the American soil. She has proclaimed that hostilities have
commenced, and that the two nations are now at war.
As war exists, and, notwithstanding all our efforts to avoid it, exists by the act of Mexico herself, we are called
upon by every consideration of duty and patriotism to vindicate with decision the honor, the rights, and the
interests of our country. . . .
In further vindication of our rights and defense of our territory, I invoke the prompt action of Congress to
recognize the existence of the war, and to place at the disposition of the Executive the means of prosecuting the
war with vigor, and thus hastening the restoration of peace.”[8]
The official declaration reads,
“Whereas, by the act of the Republic of Mexico, a state of war exists between that Government and
the United States: Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of American in
Congress assembled, That for the purpose of enabling the government of the United States to prosecute said war to a
speedy and successful termination…”[9]
Both presidential requests and subsequent official declarations of war by Congress support that a
state of war existed before the United States commenced planned military operations. In each case, the president
makes his case for why the enemy nation has been the aggressor, and why he believes a state of war already exists,
and requests that Congress formally declare it. In requesting a declaration of war with Spain, President McKinley
states,
“I now recommend the adoption of a joint resolution declaring that a state of war exists between
the United States of America and the Kingdom of Spain, that the definition of the international status of the
United States as a belligerent power may be made known and the assertion of all its rights in the conduct of a
public war may be assured.”[10]
Congress’ official declaration not only recognizes that the war already exists, but actually
specifies the date on which the state of war commenced,
“Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in
Congress assembled, First. That war be, and the same is hereby declared to exist, and that war has existed since
the twenty-first day of April, anno Domini eighteen hundred and ninety-eight, including said day, between the
United States of American and the Kingdom of Spain.”[11]
Here, not only does Congress recognize that a state of war already exists, before the onset of
planned military operations, but actually indicates the exact day on which the state of war began, taking the time
to specify “including said day,” so that no mistake can be made about when the two nations entered a state of
war.
President Wilson, in requesting a declaration of war with Germany in 1917, stated,
“…I advise that the Congress declare the recent course of the Imperial German government to be in
fact nothing less than war against the government and people of the United States; that it formally accept the
status of belligerent which has thus been thrust upon it; and that it take immediate steps, not only to put the
country in a more thorough state of defense but also to exert all its power and employ all its resources to bring
the government of the German Empire to terms and end the war.”[12]
The official declaration reads,
“Whereas the Imperial German Government has committed repeated acts of war against the Government
and the people of the United States of America: Therefore be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the state of war between the United States and the
Imperial German Government which has been thrust upon the United States is hereby formally declared; and that the
President be, and he is hereby, authorized and directed to employ the entire naval and military forces…”[13]
Here, Congress emphasizes that not only does the state of war exist, but that it has been “thrust
upon” the United States by the acts of war committed by Germany. Thus, the official declaration not only recognizes
the existence of the war but takes pains to officially identify Germany as the aggressor.
Finally, in President Roosevelt’s request for a declaration of war on Japan, he says,
“I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday,
December 7th, 1941, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese empire.”[14]
In response, Congress resolves,
“Whereas the Imperial Government of Japan has committed unprovoked acts of war against the
Government and the people of the United States of America: Therefore be it Resolved by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the state of war between the United
States and the Imperial Government of Japan which has thus been thrust upon the United States is hereby formally
declared; and the President is hereby authorized and directed to employ the entire naval and military forces of the
United States and the resources of the Government to carry on war against the Imperial Government of Japan; and, to
bring the conflict to a successful termination, all of the resources of the country are hereby pledged by the
Congress of the United States.”[15]
After the United States declared war on Japan, Germany declared war on the United States, and the
United States subsequently declared war on Germany, consistent with Locke’s premise that a state of war exists once
an aggressor declares his intent to initiate force.
I have devoted the space to include each of these passages to demonstrate the consistency with
which past requests and declarations of war have demonstrated the principle that a state of war must exist before
planned military action is justified.
In the interest of brevity I have included in the passages from the presidential requests only the
language where they specifically ask for Congress to declare war. It is equally important to note that in each case
where a president requested a declaration of war, he preceded his request with a statement of the overt acts or the
formal declarations of the aggressor nation that supported his belief that a state of war existed. This can be
verified by simply going back and reviewing the entire text of each request for a declaration.
So, what conclusions can be drawn from this evidence, and what relevance does this have to the
invasion of Iraq and other military operations that the United States has undertaken without a declaration of
war?
First, there is the moral question. Was the invasion of Iraq justified? In the five wars that the
United States fought under a formal declaration of war, the justification rested upon a president “making a case”
that a state of war already existed between the United States and the nation in question. The president presented
evidence, in the form of a list of overt acts or a declaration by the aggressor nation, supporting his claim that a
state of war existed. Congress then deliberated on the evidence, and cast a vote that supported a formal
declaration that, in fact, the United States was already at war. Certainly, there have been arguments made in the
cases of each of the five declared wars that either the state of war did not truly exist or that it was instigated
by the United States. However, the fact remains that both the executive and legislative branches followed a
constitutional process that was far more than a formality or vestige left over from earlier, courtlier ages.
However, in the case of the war with Iraq, as in the Korean and Viet Nam wars, that process did not
occur. Specifically in the case of Iraq, the dialogue was shifted away from whether or not a state of war existed
to a debate about whether or not Iraq posed a threat to the security of the United States. That debate still rages
today. However, in the context of the previous declared wars and the meaning behind the declarative powers granted
to Congress, this debate is irrelevant. No interpretation of the Enlightenment philosophy or of the U.S.
Constitution justifies military action merely on the basis of another nation representing a threat. As they did in
the Korean and Viet Nam wars, the United States used military force when no state of war existed, thereby becoming,
by definition, the aggressor.
Why is a declaration of war a fundamentally crucial issue? Obviously, President Bush would not have
been able to request a declaration of war with Iraq. There were no overt acts of aggression by Iraq against the
United States for him to cite as his evidence of a state of war. Neither was there a declaration by Iraq of their
intention to use force against the United States. Quite the contrary, Saddam Hussein repeatedly denied his
country’s possession of weapons of mass destruction and even invited President Bush to a conference in an attempt
to avoid military conflict (President Bush declined). Hussein all but declared a state of “non-war” with the United
States, so there was no case to be made for a state of war based upon a declaration of intent by an aggressor. Had
the United States government held itself to the standard set by the Constitution and close to two hundred years of
precedent, no war with Iraq could have occurred. Equally valid arguments can be made for the Korean War, the Viet
Nam war, Grenada, Bosnia, Somalia, etc.
The moral case is even more damning when considering the “insurgency” which is still raging in
Iraq, especially in the context of the Rousseau passage above. According to Rousseau, a state of war exists even
after the cessation of fighting until “the vanquished, restored to the full possession of their liberty,
voluntarily made choice of the victor for their chief.” Philosophically, the Iraqi insurgents have every right to
go on killing Americans, their conqueror, until they are both restored to full possession of their liberty and have
voluntarily chosen the United States, or the government that the United States installs, as their rightful
government. Thus, the United States finds itself entangled in a war in which it is the aggressor and which can only
end at the discretion of the people of Iraq, including the “insurgents.” We have seen similar results in two
previous, undeclared wars. In Viet Nam, we left in disgrace. In Korea, we are still there, almost sixty years
later. Perhaps there is a correlation between moral justification and success.
Second, there is a lingering question regarding sovereignty related to undeclared wars. Since the
establishment of the United Nations, the United States has not declared war, yet has been almost continuously
involved in military operations, almost exclusively under the auspices of U.N. resolutions. Another passage in
Locke may speak directly to this.
“To avoid this state of war (wherein there is no appeal but to heaven, and wherein every the least
difference is apt to end, where there is no authority to decide between the contenders) is one great reason of
men’s putting themselves into society, and quitting the state of nature: for where there is an authority, a power
on earth, from which relief can be had by appeal, there the continuance of the state of war is excluded, and the
controversy is decided by that power.”[16]
The moral argument notwithstanding, there is the further question of whether the United States
still has the right to declare war. By recognizing the United Nations as a world governing power, is it not true
that, as Locke puts it, there is now always “an authority, a power on earth, from which relief can be had by
appeal?” If the United Nations has any authority whatsoever, then by its own traditions of liberty, the United
States has surrendered its right to declare war, even when it determines that a state of war does indeed exist.
Certainly, this is a consideration that is beyond the imagination of most of its citizenry, but the evidence seems
to indicate that it is nevertheless true. The implications of this are indeed foreboding when considering a United
States of the future, in a world where it is no longer the undisputed military power that it is now, perhaps as a
result of an economic decline that may be in its first stages already.
Finally, there is the question of an undeclared war’s implications for the liberty of the people.
Certainly, the founders granted the federal government war powers out of recognized necessity. They lived, as we
do, in a world where an aggressor nation could threaten the security of even a free, non-aggressive state. However,
they granted those powers for the specific purpose of defense against aggression, including the power to declare
war as a means to determine if a state of war existed. The declaration of war process provided a litmus test of
whether or not military action was justified. Even in a volunteer army, an undeclared war exploits the solemn trust
placed in civilian leaders by the brave soldiers that defend that nation. However, the United States has twice, in
Korea and Viet Nam, compelled civilians to join the army and fight. Moreover, it is not just the soldiers that war
places at risk. Indeed, civilian casualties in Iraq far outweigh those of soldiers on either side. In decades past,
the United States has been insulated from civilian casualties because of its remoteness from the countries in which
it has waged war. However, the 21st century has already shown us that remoteness no longer provides that
insulation. Given the direct risk to U.S. citizens that war involves, does the United States government have the
right to wage an undeclared war? Are a people really free when they can be put at risk and into debt by their
government in the absence of a true state of war?

War and Christian Militarism
Book Review Written by John Larabell
Are you a “Christian warmonger,” a “Red-state Fascist,” a “Reich-Wing nationalist,” an “Imperial
Christian,” a “Christian killer,” a “pro-life murderer,” a “double-minded warmonger,” a
“God-and-country Christian bumpkin,” or a “warvangelical Christian”? According to Laurence M.
Vance, Ph.D., you may be if you support current U.S. foreign policy and the current actions of the
U.S. military. Do you get your news from the “Fox War Channel” and the “War Street
Journal ”? If so, you need to read Vance’s books War, Christianity, and the State: Essays on the Follies of Christian
Militarism and War, Empire, and the Military: Essays on the Follies of War and U.S. Foreign
Policy .
War, Christianity, and the State is a collection of 76 of Vance’s essays written
between 2003 and 2013, all of which appeared on LewRockwell.com. Vance accurately summarizes the
contents of the chapters:
In chapter 1, “Christianity and War,” Christian enthusiasm for war
and the military is shown to be an affront to the Saviour, contrary to Scripture, and a
demonstration of the profound ignorance many Christians have of history. In chapter 2,
“Christianity and the Military,” the idea that Christians should have anything to do with the
military is asserted to be illogical, immoral, and unscriptural. In chapter 3, “Christianity and
the Warfare State,” I argue that Christians who condone the warfare state, its senseless wars, its
war on a tactic (terrorism), its nebulous crusades against “evil,” its aggressive militarism, its
interventions into the affairs of other countries, and its expanding empire have been duped. In
chapter 4, “Christianity and Torture,” I contend that it is reprehensible for Christians to support
torture for any reason.
Vance writes as a conservative, evangelical, fundamentalist Christian, holding degrees in
history, theology, accounting, and economics. His main message in War, Christianity, and the
State is that
If there is any group of people that should be opposed to war,
torture, militarism, and the warfare state with its suppression of civil liberties, imperial
presidency, government propaganda, and interventionist foreign policy it is Christians, and
especially conservative, evangelical, and fundamentalist Christians who claim to strictly follow
the dictates of Scripture and worship the Prince of Peace.
Vance sharply rebukes supporters of the warfare state, particularly Christians, and illustrates
the follies and horrors of war. He points out the hypocrisy of Christians who support U.S.
militarism, the warfare state, the neoconservative-dominated Republican Party, and those who
believe almost everything coming from Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly, and
Glenn Beck. Many such Christians claim to worship the Prince of Peace yet wholeheartedly endorse
acts of violence against other people in the form of war. He dubs such Christians “Christian
killers” to illustrate this contradiction.
While some Christians may in fact be opposed to the numerous wars of aggression entered into by
the United States, they almost to a person still “support the troops,” because the troops are “just
following orders” and are thus justified in their killing of those who have not actually attacked
the U.S. homeland. While Vance admits that killing in genuine defense of one’s life or family is
justified, he also argues that killing other human beings, Christian or not, merely because the
government labels them as “the enemy” is not justifiable and is therefore murder. In light of this,
Vance believes that Christians should not serve in today’s military, and if they are already in the
military, they should refuse to kill people in wars of aggression, no matter the consequences.
Vance elaborates:
Most people say the troops are not responsible because they’re just
following orders.... Many evangelical Christians agree, and join in this chorus of statolatry with
their “obey the powers that be” mantra....
First of all, the last time I looked in my Bible, I got the strong
impression that it was only God who should be obeyed 100 percent of the time without question....
If the U.S. government told someone to kill his mother, any American would be outraged if he under
any circumstances went and did it. But if the government tells someone to put on a uniform and go
kill some Iraqi’s mother, the typical American puts a yellow ribbon on his car and says we should
support the troops.... Being told to clean or paint a piece of equipment is one thing; being told
to bomb or shoot a person is another.
War, Empire, and the Military is a collection of 127 of Vance’s essays written
between 2004 and 2014, with the bulk of them appearing on LewRockwell.com. Vance notes of the seven
chapters:
In chapter 1, “War and Peace,” the evils of war and warmongers and
the benefits of peace are examined. In chapter 2, “The Military,” the evils of standing armies and
militarism are discussed, including a critical look at U.S. military. In chapter 3, “The War in
Iraq,” the wickedness of the Iraq War is exposed. In chapter 4, “World War II,” the “good war” is
shown to be not so good after all. In chapter 5, “Other Wars,” the evils of war and the warfare
state are chronicled in specific wars: the Crimean War (1854-1856), the Russo-Japanese War
(1904-1905), World War I (1914-1918), the Persian Gulf War (1990-1991), and the war in Afghanistan
(2001-). In chapter 6, “The U.S. Global Empire,” the beginnings, growth, extent, nature, and
consequences of the U.S. empire of bases and troops are revealed and critiqued. In chapter 7, “U.S.
Foreign Policy,” the belligerence, recklessness, and follies of U.S. foreign policy are laid
bare.
According to Vance, the underlying theme in this collection of essays is
opposition to the warfare state that robs us of our liberty, our
money, and in some cases our life. Conservatives who decry the welfare state while supporting the
warfare state are terribly inconsistent. The two are inseparable. Libertarians who are opposed to
war on principle, but support the state’s bogus “war on terrorism,” even as they remain silent
about the U.S. global empire, are likewise contradictory.
War, Empire, and the Military is a great study of history and a must-read for
anyone who supports current U.S. foreign policy. Vance begins the book by explaining the views of
classical Western thinkers and the views of the Founding Fathers regarding war, empire, and the
military, telling how (and why) the early Americans were very much opposed to the modern warfare
state with its foreign entanglements, foreign wars, and massive military budget. After all, the
U.S. military, Vance says throughout both books, is now used for everything but its original
purpose: the defense of the United States and the securing of her national borders.
In addition to giving detailed accounts of why many of the wars of the past two centuries were
actually fought (often not the reasons given in American public-school history classes), Vance
includes a number of essays depicting the horrors of war from the perspective of soldiers on the
battlefield. After reading many of these accounts, only the most calloused individuals would still
be eager to see America involved in another war.
War, Christianity, and the State is no doubt the more controversial of the two
books. Many conservative Christians will vehemently disagree with Vance’s views on the current
evils of the U.S. military and war in general. In fact, Vance mentions the criticism he receives
from many Christians (most of whom are not in the military) for his opposition to U.S. foreign
policy and the warfare state. He admits that he has been called “liberal,” “communist,” “anti-war
weenie,” “traitor,” “coward,” “America-hater,” and other vulgarities that will not be printed here.
But Vance argues his points well, and provides a great deal of historical background on Christian
opposition to war and the views of the Founding Fathers on war and standing armies to make his
case. Additionally, Vance includes a number of essays featuring letters he has received from
military personnel who agree with him. An open-minded reader who is a genuine Christian would find
it difficult to disagree with Vance’s primary theses in both books.
A few small criticisms are in order. There is a great deal of overlap among the various essays,
which is to be expected, and which Vance admits to in the beginning of both books. Additionally,
there are a number of minor spelling and grammar errors, and, as the essays were primarily online
postings, there are many spots that were obvious hyperlinks that do not show up in the books, which
can be a bit awkward for the reader. This, also, Vance admits to.
But as mentioned above, both books — War, Christianity, and the State and War, Empire, and the Military — are must-reads for conservative
Christians, many of whom have supported the military and the American warfare state. Although
Vance has a literary wit and offers sharp criticism of those he disagrees with in order to
provoke a thoughtful response, open-minded readers will no doubt come to agree with many of his
views.

The
U.S. Global Empire
There is a new empire in town, and its global presence is
increasing every day.
By Laurence M. Vance
March 16, 2004
T he kingdom of Alexander the Great reached
all the way to the borders of India. The Roman Empire controlled the Celtic regions of Northern Europe and all of
the Hellenized states that bordered the Mediterranean. The Mongol Empire, which was the largest contiguous empire
in history, stretched from Southeast Asia to Europe. The Byzantine Empire spanned the years 395 to 1453. In the
sixteenth century, the Ottoman Empire stretched from the Persian Gulf in the east to Hungary in the northwest; and
from Egypt in the south to the Caucasus in the north. At the height of its dominion, the British Empire included
almost a quarter of the world’s population.
Nothing, however, compares to the U.S. global empire. What makes U.S. hegemony unique is that it
consists, not of control over great land masses or population centers, but of a global presence unlike that of any
other country in history.
The extent of the U.S. global empire is almost incalculable. The latest "Base Structure Report " of the Department
of Defense states that the Department’s physical assets consist of "more than 600,000 individual buildings and
structures, at more than 6,000 locations, on more than 30 million acres." The exact number of locations is
then given as 6,702 — divided into large installations (115), medium installations (115), and small
installations/locations (6,472). This classification can be deceiving, however, because installations are only
classified as small if they have a Plant Replacement Value (PRV) of less than $800 million.
Although most of these locations are in the continental United States, 96 of them are in U.S.
territories around the globe, and 702 of them are in foreign countries. But as Chalmers Johnson has documented , the figure of 702 foreign
military installations is too low, for it does not include installations in Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel, Kosovo,
Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Qatar, and Uzbekistan. Johnson estimates that an honest count would be closer to 1,000.
The number of countries that the United States has a presence in is staggering. According the U.S.
Department of State’s list of "Independent States in the
World ," there are 192 countries in the world, all of which, except Bhutan, Cuba, Iran, and North Korea, have
diplomatic relations with the United States. All of these countries except one (Vatican City) are members of the
United Nations . According to the Department of Defense
publication, "Active Duty Military Personnel
Strengths by Regional Area and by Country ," the United States has troops in 135 countries. Here is the
list:
Afghanistan Albania Algeria Antigua Argentina Australia Austria Azerbaijan Bahamas Bahrain Bangladesh
Barbados Belgium Belize Bolivia Bosnia and Herzegovina Botswana Brazil Bulgaria Burma Burundi Cambodia Cameroon
Canada Chad Chile China Colombia Congo Costa Rica Cote D’lvoire Cuba Cyprus Czech Republic Denmark Djibouti
Dominican Republic East Timor Ecuador Egypt El Salvador Eritrea Estonia Ethiopia Fiji
Finland France Georgia Germany Ghana Greece Guatemala Guinea Haiti Honduras Hungary Iceland India
Indonesia Iraq Ireland Israel Italy Jamaica Japan Jordan Kazakhstan Kenya Kuwait Kyrgyzstan Laos Latvia Lebanon
Liberia Lithuania Luxembourg Macedonia Madagascar Malawi Malaysia Mali Malta Mexico Mongolia Morocco Mozambique
Nepal Netherlands New Zealand Nicaragua
Niger Nigeria North Korea Norway Oman Pakistan Paraguay Peru Philippines Poland Portugal Qatar Romania
Russia Saudi Arabia Senegal Serbia and Montenegro Sierra Leone Singapore Slovenia Spain South Africa South Korea
Sri Lanka Suriname Sweden Switzerland Syria Tanzania Thailand Togo Trinidad and Tobago Tunisia Turkey Turkmenistan
Uganda Ukraine United Arab Emirates United Kingdom Uruguay Venezuela Vietnam Yemen Zambia Zimbabwe
This means that the United States has troops in 70 percent of the world’s countries. The
average American could probably not locate half of these 135 countries on a map.
To this list could be added regions like the Indian Ocean territory of Diego Garcia, Gibraltar, and
the Atlantic Ocean island of St. Helena, all still controlled by Great Britain, but not considered sovereign
countries. Greenland is also home to U.S. troops, but is technically part of Denmark. Troops in two other regions,
Kosovo and Hong Kong, might also be included here, but the DOD’s "Personnel Strengths" document includes U.S.
troops in Kosovo under Serbia and U.S. troops in Hong Kong under China.
Possessions of the United States like Guam, Johnston Atoll, Puerto Rico, the Trust Territory of the
Pacific Islands, and the Virgin Islands are likewise home to U.S. troops. Guam has over 3,200.
Regular troop strength ranges from a low of 1 in Malawi to a high of 74,796 in Germany. At the time
the most recent "Personnel Strengths" was released by the government (September 30, 2003), there were 183,002
troops deployed to Iraq, an unspecified number of which came from U.S. forces in Germany and Italy. The total
number of troops deployed abroad as of that date was 252,764, not including U.S. troops in Iraq from the United
States. Total military personnel on September 30, 2003, was 1,434,377. This means that 17.6 percent of U.S.
military forces were deployed on foreign soil, and certainly over 25 percent if U.S. troops in Iraq from the United
States were included. But regardless of how many troops we have in each country, having troops in 135 countries is
135 countries too many.
The U. S. global empire — an empire that Alexander the Great, Caesar
Augustus, Genghis Khan, Suleiman the Magnificent, Justinian, and King George V would be proud of.

The US military is in Afghanistan for two reasons. First to restore
and control the world’s largest supply of opium for the world heroin markets and to use the drugs as a geopolitical
weapon against opponents, especially Russia. That control of the Afghan drug market is essential for the liquidity
of the bankrupt and corrupt Wall Street financial mafia. ...The second reason the US military remains in
Afghanistan long after the world has forgotten even who the mysterious Osama bin Laden and his alleged Al Qaeda terrorist organization is or even if they exist, is as a pretext to
build a permanent US military strike force with a series of
permanent US airbases across Afghanistan. The aim of those bases is not to eradicate any Al Qaeda cells that may have survived in the caves of Tora Bora,
or to eradicate a mythical “Taliban” which at this point according to eyewitness
reports is made up overwhelmingly of local ordinary Afghanis fighting to rid their land once more of occupier
armies as they did in the 1980’s against the Russians.

NATO
North Atlantic Treaty Organization
Ever since its inception there have been those who have
warned that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, far from offering a simple "collective security" pact to ensure
the integrity of its member nations' borders, would in fact be used as an offensive tool of imperial adventurism
and conquest. Since the NATO-led Kosovo bombing campaign of 1999 at the very least, those fears have appeared more
and more justified.
Since that time, NATO has continued to take a lead role in more and more overtly
offensive campaigns of aggression in theatre after theatre. By now it is commonly understood to be an extension of
the Pentagon itself, a convenient international military instrument for Washington to wield whenever the pretense
of an international consensus cannot be achieved at the UN Security Council.
-- James Corbett
NATO is the first attempt in history to establish an aggressive
global military formation, one which currently includes a third of the nations of the world either as members or
partners, has members and partners on five continents and has conducted active operations on four, with the
potential to expand its reach into the remaining two where it has not yet officially intruded
itself... As NATO continues to expand across the globe
through a series of partnerships, initiatives and dialogues, what was once a collective security agreement is
increasingly becoming a global military strike force capable of bombarding, invading and occupying countries
anywhere in the world.

The Best Enemies
Money Can Buy
An Interview with Professor Antony C.
Sutton
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED READING HERE :
https://archive.org/details/Sutton--Western-Technology-1917-1930
T he business of lending blood money is one of
the most thoroughly sordid, cold blooded, and criminal acts that were ever carried on, to any considerable extent,
amongst human beings. It is like lending money to slave traders, or to common robbers and pirates, to be repaid out
of their plunder. And theman who loans money to governments, so called, for the purpose of enabling the latter to
rob, enslave and murder their own people, are among the greatest villains that the world has ever seen.
With mountains of documentation, mostly from government and corporate sources, Sutton shows that
Soviet military technology is heavily dependent on U.S. and allied gifts, "peaceful trade" and exchange programs.
We've built for, sold, traded, or given outright to the Communists everything from copper wiring and military
trucks to tank technology, missile guidance technology, and computers - even the Space Shuttle.
Background on Professor Antony C.
Sutton
A ntony C. Sutton — Feb. 14,
1925 - June 17, 2002 Antony Sutton has been persecuted but never prosecuted for his research and subsequent
publishing of his findings. His mainstream career was shattered by his devotion towards uncovering the truth.
In 1968, his Western Technology and Soviet Economic Development was published by The Hoover Institute at
Stanford University. Sutton showed how the Soviet state's technological and manufacturing base, which was then
engaged in supplying the North Vietnamese the armaments and supplies to kill and wound American soldiers, was
built by US firms and mostly paid for by the US taxpayers. From their largest steel and iron plant, to
automobile manufacturing equipment, to precision ball-bearings and computers, basically the majority of the
Soviet's large industrial enterprises had been built with the United States help or technical
assistance.
Professor Richard Pipes of Harvard said in his book,
Survival Is Not Enough: Soviet Realities and America's Future (Simon & Schuster;1984): "In his three-volume
detailed account of Soviet Purchases of Western Equipment and Technology . . . [Antony] Sutton comes to conclusions
that are uncomfortable for many businessmen and economists. For this reason his work tends to be either dismissed
out of hand as 'extreme' or, more often, simply ignored."
The report was too much and Sutton's career as a
well-paid member of the academic establishment was under attack and he was told that he "would not
survive".
His work led him to more questions than answers. "Why
had the US built-up it's enemy? Why did the US build-up the Soviet Union, while we also transferred technology to
Hitler's Germany? Why does Washington want to conceal these facts?"
Sutton, following his leads, proceeded to research and
write his three outstanding books on Wall Street, FDR, the Rise of Hitler, and The Bolshevik Revolution. Then,
someone sent Antony a membership list of Skull and Bones and "a picture jumped out". And what a picture! A
multigenerational foreign-based secret society with fingers in all kinds of pies and roots going back to
'Illuminati' influences in 1830's Germany.

Americans Sick and Tired of Wars for the Global
Elite
Establishment apologists step up to dismiss
George Washington’s warning
Kurt Nimmo
Infowars.com
March 13, 2014
A poll released earlier
this week reveals Americans are following the advice of George Washington and Ron Paul that the United States should mind its own business and avoid getting involved in the Ukraine
crisis.
VIDEO
O bama at odds with the
American people he supposedly represents.
“The poll reflects a war-weary American public that is still very reticent to get
involved in international conflicts,” reports The Washington Post. “The American people were similarly opposed to
military intervention in Syria last year, despite President Obama calling for the use of force and seeking
congressional approval for action.”
56 percent of respondents to a Pew Research poll said the United States government and military should “not get too
involved in the situation,” while 8 percent said the U.S. should consider “military options.” 29 percent said
the Obama administration needs to take a “firm stand” against Russia’s supposed incursion into Ukraine.
On Wednesday it was reported Ukraine had conducted a surveillance flight over its
border with Russia under the 1992 Open Skies treaty. The flight confirmed Russia has not amassed its military on the border . The coup government in Kyiv claims Russia
moved 220,000 troops, 1,800 tanks and 400 helicopters on its eastern border.
Arizona Republican Senator John McCain told Andrea Mitchell of MSNBC last week he did “not see a military
option” in Ukraine “and it’s tragic.” He said the United States has not attacked Russia due to Obama’s
“feckless” foreign policy and because the administration has “been near delusional in thinking that the Cold War
was over.”
Despite McCain’s reproof, Secretary of State John Kerry said earlier this month the administration would be open to using the
military against Russia in Ukraine. “The hope of the U.S. and everybody in the world is not to see this escalate
into a military confrontation,” he said.
David Brooks , writing for The New York Times on Monday, lamented the war weariness of the
American people. He characterized it as Americans believing “that the U.S. should be less engaged in world
affairs” and no longer interested in helping “solve the world’s problems.” Always the establishment apologist,
Brooks said Americans “have lost faith in the idea that American political and military institutions can do much
to shape the world. American opinion is marked by an amazing sense of limitation — that there are severe
restrictions on what political and military efforts can do.”
Brooks did not provide specific examples how “political and military efforts” shaped
Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya. In Libya, for instance, political chaos following the invasion by the United States and NATO in 2011 has
paralyzed the country and may result in its break up. Brooks did not bother to mention the niggling fact the
participation of the United States in the military effort resulted in an estimated 30,000 dead people . Iraq also faces disintegration along political, ethnic and religious lines.
“Brooks uses the words ‘should be less engaged’ instead of ‘mind its own business’
which is the language that Pew used. But hey, it’s David Brooks. His job is to make government stench come off as
potpourri,” writes Chris Rossini .
George W. Bush characterized millions of Americans opposed to the invasion of Iraq as
little more than a “focus group” and the Obama administration, despite pledges to the contrary and
withered olive branches, has continued the Bush neocon agenda more or less uninterrupted as the script appearing
on Obama’s teleprompter demands. McCain and Kerry may talk about militarily confronting a nuclear super power
over minor issues in Russia’s backyard, but military action is becoming increasingly circumscribed for the
establishment as Americans voice their distaste for endless war.

5-minute video: US ‘leaders’ JOKE
about OBVIOUS War Crimes, war lies, war murders: Arrest them

5-minute video courtesy Realist Report
I n this 5-minute video, Presidents Bush and Obama,
Secretary of State and presidential-hopeful Ms. Clinton, presidential-hopeful has-been John McCain, and former
Secretary of State and Bush family friend James Baker all joke about:
These psychopaths mock our veterans by allowing their growing homelessness and suicides , despite obvious solutions available for
everyone’s full-employment and
health care .
These criminals continue a long history of lie-began US Wars of Aggression since the US invaded Mexico ; despite Abraham Lincoln’s powerfully accurate rhetoric of President
Polk’s lies to steal half of Mexico at the expense of US military and Mexican civilian lives. The most decorated US Marine general in his day also warned all Americans of this fact of
lie-started wars for US oligarch plunder.
What can we do as American free citizens, with
a tremendous heritage to speak against our own government when they violate basic lawful behavior?
Easy:
arrest them for the OBVIOUS War Crimes .
Then
arrest their bankster friends for crimes equally OBVIOUS for massive fraud and looting.
And then arrest their lying corporate media pals who “cover” these lies and crimes from us.
Speak now, or forever hold back from peace, justice, and truth.

THE
FBI
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is a
governmental agency belonging to the United StatesDepartment of Justice that serves
as both a federal criminal investigative body and an internal intelligence agency
(counterintelligence). Also, it is the government agency responsible for
investigating crimes on Indian reservations in the United States under the Major
Crimes Act. The branch has investigative jurisdiction over violations of more than
200 categories of federal crime. The agency was established in 1908 as the Bureau
of Investigation (BOI). Its name was changed to the Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI) in 1935. The agency headquarters is the J. Edgar Hoover Building, located in
Washington, D.C. The agency has fifty-six field offices located in major cities
throughout the United States, and more than 400 resident agencies in lesser cities
and areas across the nation. More than 50 international offices called "legal
attachés" exist in U.S. embassies and consulates general
worldwide.
'Federal Bureau of Investigation
organizes almost all terror plots in the US' ...The report reveals that the FBI
regularly infiltrates communities where they suspect terrorist-minded individuals
to be engaging with others. Regardless of their intentions, agents are sent in to
converse within the community, find suspects that could potentially carry out “lone
wolf” attacks and then, more or less, encourage them to do so. By providing
weaponry, funds and a plan, FBI-directed agents will encourage otherwise-unwilling
participants to plot out terrorist attacks, only to bust them before any events
fully materialize.

How Did Christians Become
Warmongers?
Published: Thursday, October 25, 2012
By Chuck Baldwin
L et
me begin by saying, I’ve been an evangelical Christian since I was a child.
I’ve been in the Gospel ministry all of my adult life. I attended two
evangelical Christian colleges, received honorary degrees from two others,
and taught and preached in several others. I’ve attended many of the largest
evangelical pastors’ gatherings and have been privileged to speak at
Christian gatherings–large and small–all over America. I have been part of
the inner workings of evangelical ministry for nearly 40 years. I think I
learned a thing or two about evangelical/fundamentalist Christianity in
America. With that said, I’m here to tell you: I don’t like what I see
happening these days.
Historically, Christians have always attempted to
be–and have always publicly taught the importance of being–peacemakers. Have not
Christians preached–and tried to practice–love and brotherhood? The early church
was born in a baptism of love and unity. Oh sure, there were always individual
misunderstandings and differences, but, on the whole, the church was a loving,
caring, compassionate ecclesia.
Mind you, Christians historically were not afraid
or ashamed to defend themselves, their families, and their country. The Lord Jesus,
Himself (the Prince of Peace), allowed His disciples to carry personal defense
weapons (see Luke 22:36, 38). While some Christian sects were conscientious
pacifists, these were the exception, not the rule. The vast majority of Christian
believers understood the Biblical, Natural Law principle of self-defense. But
believing in the right of lawful, God-ordained self-defense was never to be
confused with warmongering.
So, what has happened to turn the most
peace-loving institution the world has ever known (the New Testament church) into
the biggest cheerleaders for war? I’m talking about unprovoked, illegal,
unconstitutional, unbiblical–even secret–wars of aggression. The biggest
cheerleaders for the unprovoked, unconstitutional, pre-emptive attack and invasion
of Iraq were evangelical Christians. Ditto for the war in Afghanistan, the bombing
of Libya, the attacks in Yemen, drone attacks in Pakistan, etc. Who is calling for
the bombing of Iran? Evangelical Christians. Who cheers for sending more and more
troops all over the world to maim and kill more and more people (including
innocents)? Evangelical Christians. Most evangelical Christians didn’t even bat an
eye when the federal government sent military and police personnel to murder
American citizens, including elderly men, women, and children–Christian elderly
men, women, and children, no less–outside Waco, Texas. Neither have the vast
majority of them piped a peep of protest against the federal government’s murder of
Vicki and Sammy Weaver.
And where are today’s evangelical Christians
giving a second thought regarding their fellow Christian brothers and sisters in
many of these Middle Eastern countries that are being persecuted, imprisoned,
tortured, and killed by the puppet regimes being put in power by the US
government–at US taxpayer (including Christian taxpayer) expense? I hate to be the
bearer of bad news, but more Christians have been persecuted under the US-imposed
regime in Iraq than were ever persecuted when Saddam Hussein was in power. Oh! And
don’t forget that it was the US government that was responsible for putting Saddam
Hussein in power to begin with. The US government set up Osama bin Laden, too. But
I digress.
In addition to the “white” wars (the ones everyone
knows about), the US government authorizes some 70 black ops commando raids in some
120 countries EVERY DAY. In fact, the secret, black ops military of the US is so
large today it now totals more personnel than the ENTIRE MILITARY OF
CANADA!
A recent report noted, “In 120 countries across
the globe, troops from Special Operations Command carry out their secret war of
high-profile assassinations, low-level targeted killings, capture/kidnap
operations, kick-down-the-door night raids, joint operations with foreign forces,
and training missions with indigenous partners as part of a shadowy conflict
unknown to most Americans. Once ‘special’ for being small, lean, outsider outfits,
today they are special for their power, access, influence, and aura.”
To see the complete report of America’s secret
wars, go to:
http://tinyurl.com/3q7s335
Yet, how much of this knowledge would even faze
the average evangelical Christian today? All we seem to hear from today’s
“churches” is “bomb,” “attack,” “wipe them out,” etc. Then, at the same time, they
get all emotional about sending missionaries to the same countries that they had
just cheered-on the US military in raining down missiles of death and destruction
upon (to bring salvation to the lucky ones that weren’t killed, I
suppose).
And who were the ones that belittled and impugned
Ron Paul? Evangelical Christians. Why? Because he dared to tell the truth about
America’s foreign policy being responsible for much of the hatred and bitterness
erupting in foreign countries against us.
The disciples of our Lord were called “Christians”
first by the Gentiles of Antioch, because of the manner in which the disciples
reminded them of Christ’s nature and teachings. I never thought I would hear myself
say what I’m about to say, but the truth is, the term “Christian” today signifies
anything but Christ-like. To many people today, “Christian” refers to some
warmongering, mean-spirited, throw-anyone-to-the-wolves-who-crosses-them person,
who then has the audacity to look down their nose in contempt against anyone who
disagrees with them for even the smallest reason. And the word “church” has the
stigma of being simply an enclave of warmongers to many people today. And that, my
friends, is one reason so many people are turned off with today’s Christianity. And
I can’t say that I blame them. I’m turned off too!
Am I a pacifist? Absolutely not! Do I believe an
individual, a family, a community, or a nation has the right to lawful
self-defense? I absolutely do! But this blind support for illegal, immoral,
unconstitutional war is anything but Christian. Not only is it turning people
against our country among people abroad, it is turning our own countrymen against
the Christ we Christians claim to love right here at home.
I dare say that the modern Warfare State would
grind to a screeching halt tomorrow if evangelical Christians would simply stop
supporting it! And the thing that most evangelical Christians fail to realize is
that the Warfare State is one of the primary tools being used to usher in a
devilish New World Order that even babes in Christ know to be of Satan. Hence,
Christians are helping to promote the very thing that Satan, himself, is using to
enslave them.
And I realize that right now the vast majority of
evangelicals eat, breathe, and sleep only one mantra: “Get rid of Obama!” They
would vote for anybody to beat Obama. Well, anybody except Ron Paul, that is.
Evangelicals might hate Ron Paul more than they do Barack Obama. And after Mitt
Romney is elected on November 6, these same “Christians” will go into a state of
extended hibernation, ignoring every unconstitutional big-government decision that
Romney makes. Not only that, buckle your seat belts boys and girls, because Romney
is going to expand America’s foreign wars (and the emerging police state at home)
like nobody’s business. And when he does, guess what? Evangelicals will be the ones
who clap and cheer the most.
Let me ask my Christian brethren some questions:
does God give governmental leaders a pass on obeying His moral laws? If God will
hold you and me accountable to His command to not murder, for example, will He not
hold our civil magistrates accountable to His command to not murder? Or do you
really believe that murder is justified on the word of a king? If so, had you been
alive in Hitler’s Germany, you would have supported his atrocities, too, right? And
is that whom you think occupies 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue: a king? Is murder
justified simply because a magistrate orders it? And if that’s true, is it then
justified that government forces pillage, plunder, and rape? If not, why not? After
all, if it’s lawful for men to murder on the command of a magistrate, why can they
not pillage, plunder, and rape? What’s the difference?
Accordingly, I personally believe that
evangelicals owe Bill Clinton an apology. They excoriated him when it came to light
that he had committed adultery. They then turned around and supported G.W. Bush’s
unconstitutional, unprovoked, preemptive wars of aggression, which resulted in the
deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocents. Pray tell, if a President is exempt
from the moral law against shedding innocent blood (Genesis 9:6; Proverbs 6:17) why
should he not be exempt from the moral law against adultery?
Believe it or not, a local pastor here in the
Flathead Valley of Montana recently preached a message to his congregation on
Romans 13 with the typical erroneous “obey-the-government-no-matter-what” claptrap.
When a member of his congregation later asked him personally to explain himself, he
told the parishioner, “If government agents or troops came to my house and laid my
wife on the kitchen table and raped her, Romans 13 tells me I cannot resist.”
That’s what he said, folks. I’m not making it up.
Well, if you believe that Presidents are above the
moral law of God regarding shedding innocent blood, why should they be held to any
other moral law of God? And if Presidents are exempt, what about governors, mayors,
sheriffs, etc.? I truly wonder how many evangelical Christians deep in their heart
share the opinion of the above-mentioned pastor. Scary thought, isn’t
it?
And, by the way, that President Obama continues to
escalate America’s wars in the Middle East is the one thing that evangelicals LIKE
about him. In fact, it was Ron Paul’s opposition to the wars of aggression in the
Middle East that was the chief reason why evangelicals rejected him. Yes, between a
war-mongering socialist such as Barack Obama, and a peace-loving freedomist such as
Ron Paul, the average evangelical would choose the warmonger.
Have evangelicals forgotten I John 3:14, 15? It
says, “We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the
brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. Whosoever hateth his
brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in
him.” (KJV)
And folks, need I remind you that there are
hundreds of thousands of our Christian brothers and sisters scattered throughout
the Muslim world? In fact, Christianity is growing fastest within the Muslim world
today. I have been to the Middle East. I have met hundreds of Palestinian and Arab
Christians. And I can tell you unequivocally that they do NOT hate America; they
are NOT our enemies; and they love the Lord and try to live for Him as much as any
of us here in the United States do. And every day many of these innocent brothers
and sisters of ours are being maimed and killed by the relentless missile attacks
and countless wars being perpetrated by the US government. So, pray tell, how can
we claim to be Christians on the one hand and be so callused to the suffering and
death of our Christian brothers and sisters on the other hand? (And that is not to
minimize the deaths of the tens of thousands of non-Christian innocents who are
killed in these attacks, but to simply appeal to my fellow Christians with the
Biblical “love the brethren” message.) How can we justify this carnage? Oh, it’s
just “collateral damage,” right?
No man is exempt from the moral laws of God. No
man! Not even the President of the United States. And how much guilt do those of us
in America who laud and support the Warfare State share when atrocities are
committed by our leaders in our name and with our approval? And if none, then what
were those trials in Nuremberg all about?
Yes, I’ve been an evangelical Christian for most
of my life and an evangelical pastor for most of my adult life. And if we
Christians do not quickly repent of this bloodlust that seems to dominate
evangelical Christianity today (spiritually and militarily), the word that was
first used by un-churched Gentiles to describe Christ’s followers will be used as a
curse-word to describe those who facilitated the ruination of our country, because
“whatsoever a [nation] soweth, that shall [it] also reap.”

Sec. State Kerry Prepares WMD Pretext Ahead of Syria Attack
http://www.infowars.com/sec-state-ker...
Once again the US invokes false flag attacks and outright lies to stoke the flames of war. John "Lurch" Kerry gave
a speech today that is going to lead us to WW3. Channeling Colin Powell, Dubya and the Kuwaiti Incubator Girl,
"Lurch" the ketchup baron laid out a series of lies and falsehoods about the Syrian government to justify more
military action in that region. Of course "Lurch" said they will never be able to find proof of who carried out the
attack.
The military industrial complex is going into over drive as two large wars and numerous covert ops around the world
are not enough satisfy our satanic overlords. They want more blood more dead kids and Al-Qaeda outposts in every
middle eastern country. It's time to call the government puppets out, they are liars.
Here is an analysis from Alex Jones -- Spread it far and wide. Here is the video proof straight from the liars
mouths. Don't say you didn't know, don't say you weren't warned, don't enlist in their foreign wars of aggression.
Speak out and be prepared for more false flag attacks, more lies and calls for war. Chemical weapons attacks are
just the beginning.

According to the high level military source, who has a strong record of continually being proven correct in deep

unknown location that has been reported to be South Carolina, where the warheads will then be picked up and

War and Collateral Damage
While Americans elect leaders whom they trust are honest, truthful and really care about
the kids they send to kill for our country, Decade after decade the sordid side of our history — that our elected
officials lie us into war with stunning and embarrassing regularity and are little concerned about the harm to
innocent civilians, much less to members of our own military.
In the latter half of the 20th century, eugenics merely changed its face to become known as "population control".
This was crystallized in National Security Study Memorandum 200, a 1974 geopolitical strategy document prepared by
Rockefeller's intimate friend and fellow Bilderberg member Henry Kissinger , which
targeted thirteen countries for massive population reduction by means of creating food scarcity, sterilization
and WAR .
