		<description>The sad matter of fact is that had we not
strayed from the Grand Republic set up by the Founding Fathers, and the Monroe Doctrine based upon the wishes of the Founding Fathers, there would be no need for us to be &quot;in&quot; Iraq.

Had we not interfered in the dispute between the Kaiser and the rest of Europe, and let the resultant dictatorship run its course, there 
would have been no Hitler. Wouldn&#039;t that have changed history for a certain &quot;race&quot; of folk.

Had we not interfered in the Japanese quest for
petroleum reserves, we would not have had to go into Iwo Jima this very day 63 years past. 

Had we put a cruise missile on the shiny black
box in the square in Mecca after our Trade
Center Collapsed, we would not be &quot;in&quot; Iraq.

Had we stayed out of Afghanistan and let the
Taliban run their course, they would not be
&quot;coming back,&quot; they would still be there. We would NOT be there.

America is reaping the fruits of switching from preaching to meddling. That is a result of the socialism that has crept in our midst from all over the planet via legal and illegal immigration.

Read the essay: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.inlibertyandfreedom.com/wilson.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Wilson, Home improvement, and the Founding Fathers&quot;&lt;/a&gt;

Only socialists are so stupid as to take a
position between two religious FAMILIES having
a FAMILY fight in an attempt to separate the two.
There are few examples of a nation being so badly  
eaten up by the simples as the US constantly meddling in family battles, particularly, as with
the Arabs and Jews, one that has lasted nearly
5000 years.

For the Christians reading this, Jesus said something about letting your light shine. Have you ever HEARD a light? Have you ever seen the light
go about messing in everyone&#039;s affairs. Think
about it next time you read your Bible. People
are supposed to COME to the light for edification.

&quot;We has met the enemy. He is us.&quot;

Again- read the essay about Wilson (above).

		<description>As far as you and I are concerned, there actually is no conspiracy between the left and the so-called &quot;news&quot; media.  A conspiracy is executed in secret.  It is no secret that the MSM is the propaganda arm of the left.  
 
As for other conspiracy &quot;theories&quot;, I know enough to know that they aren&#039;t theories any longer.  Perhaps you&#039;ve heard of the North American Union?  That&#039;s not theory.  It is hard, cold fact. In fact, the conspiracy of the international bankers, the Council on Foreign relations and various members of these supra-national, extra-constitutional &quot;clubs&quot; (i.e. the Military Industrial Complex), doing their &quot;agreements&quot; under stealth so that congress isn&#039;t involved in what are clearly treaties - none of this is a secret any longer.  These people are operating out in the open, they are stating their intents and purposes on their own websites and their statements to that effect are of public record.  
 
No, these aren&#039;t theories.  And our forces are most definitely being used as a mercenary force by these internationalist/globalist communists.   The legitimate, constitutional use of our military ended when we uncovered Saddam&#039;s hidey-hole.  Our troops should have then used his proximity to a firearm to end the whole affair right then and there - the way our police in Denver do.  They should&#039;ve yelled &quot;gun&quot; and opened fire.  At that point, we should&#039;ve told those people (the Iraqis) that they have just witnessed what happens when the leadership of states who sponsor terrorism are targeted by the U.S. military, that this was a look at our &quot;professional&quot; side and that they wouldn&#039;t want to see what happens if we have to come back, which would really piss us off.  We should&#039;ve then said that the form of government they choose to operate under was their business but that whatever form that took, it had better not be back in the business of waging a war on us by proxy on behalf of themselves and the Soviets, that they had better stay out of the business of deploying surrogates because they would be held responsible.  At that point, the message would&#039;ve been &quot;If we engage in this crap, the Americans will find out and they&#039;ll come over here to kills us and break our shit&quot; and all that American blood and treasure between that point and the next deployment back to Iraq (which I&#039;m sure would&#039;ve been necessary down the road) - would not have been spent.  Instead, through long association with people who are incapable of adopting western civilization, we&#039;ve shown them our tactics and how we operate, something Napolean warned against - and we&#039;ve wasted American lives by putting ourselves in the position of looking like we&#039;ve failed.  Instead of a message of &quot;don&#039;t make us come back&quot;, we&#039;ve lingered and given the perception that we&#039;re now going to cut and run - because of the Marxist left in this country who has no stomach for long, protracted campaigns and especially not for allies like Saddam, a self-professed acolyte of Josef Stalin.  
 
Sun Tzu warned about prolonged campaigns over great distances.  They weaken the state which conducts them.  Sun Tzu also wrote that the acme of skill is to defeat the enemy BEFORE enjoining him on the battlefield - by defeating the enemy&#039;s general (presumably by showing him that he cannot win).  Well, what better way to defeat the United States than to bankrupt her people - who must pay the interest on the national debt (held by the Federal Reserve) with their taxes?  In this, the Soviet client terror-sponsoring Arab states like Iraq, Iran, Syria, Egypt and &quot;Palestine&quot; are all doing their part to do just that, to bankrupt us in exactly the same way that Reagan did to the Soviets.  The Trotskyite neocon left is a part of this strategy to keep us engaged in perpetual war where we go from &quot;brushfire&quot; to &quot;brushfire&quot; trying to stamp the red menace out - per the long-established policy of the Soviets - who have regrouped after their financial meltdown (note that I wrote &quot;financial&quot; meltdown, because the meltdown was only financial, not ideological).  It is the same Trotskyite left who is trying to erase our borders between us and Canada and Mexico, creating the typical communist &quot;borderless&quot; Soviet - the Russian Soviets did in their Union of Socialist Republics.  These neocons have captured the Republican party per communist doctrine as uncovered by W. Cleon Skousen in his &quot;Naked Communist&quot;.  That agenda, as uncovered by Skousen is here:  http://www.semperliber.org/communistgoalsfulfilled.htm.  Note point number fifteen (#15) about capturing one or both of the political parties in the United States.
 
The details on the North American Union are right here:  http://www.semperliber.org/Assets/TNA10-2-06.pdf.  This highlights the treatment of borders here in the U.S. - and those over in Iraq and spotlights the true agenda of those running the &quot;perpetual war machine&quot; - which is to eliminate the United States of America.  
 
Also see the January 22, 2007 issue of the &quot;New American&quot;, which is dedicated to &quot;Putin&#039;s Russia:  The Return of the Iron Fist&quot; for a synopsis of what&#039;s really going on in the &quot;former&quot; Soviet Union.  Also read Anatoliy Golitzin&#039;s &quot;New Lies for Old&quot; if you haven&#039;t already.  
 
An excerpt of a review of &quot;New Lies for Old&quot; on Amazon.com by R. Setliff:  
 
&quot;Reading a primer on Marxism-Leninism ideology such as Marxism by Thomas Sowell or Understanding the Times by David Noebel might help you see how Perestroika fits in with communist ideology. You&#039;ll see that the act of the Communists supposedly going capitalist is compatible with Marxist-Leninism and fits in perfectly with the Marxist dialectal view of history (synthesis of communism/capitalism.) The important thing for the ruling elite is that they secure their power in the New World Order. I&#039;ll leave you with a quote by Mikhail Gorbachev in speech to the Politboro in 1987: &quot;Gentlemen, comrades, do not be concerned about all you hear about glasnost and perestroika and democracy in the coming years. These are primarily for outward consumption. There will be no significant internal change within the Soviet Union, other than for cosmetic purposes. Our purpose is to disarm the Americans and let them fall asleep.&quot;
 
Again, these are not theories.  They are borne out in fact and illuminated by a study of history.  Use of surrogates to wage a war by proxy is old Soviet doctrine and their client states in the Middle East have learned this lesson well and as surrogates for the Soviet Union employ surrogates of their own.  We have fallen into their perpetual war of &quot;low level conflict&quot; (i.e. terrorism) which is intended to bankrupt us, our &quot;elites&quot; are shipping production and jobs overseas to enemy states, the Chinese are holding a massive amount of our debt and our reputation and prestige is being destroyed by our strategic and tactical missteps over and beyond legitimate constitutional boundaries that engage us in foreign entanglements - against the warning of our founders.</description>

		<description>John_Russell@dpsk12.org writes to Petteys: Right ON, pal! I teach Army JROTC at East High School in Denver, not a bastion of youngsters eager to put aside college in order to step up and serve--not the elite&#039;s youth anyway. 

I have been waiting for the mercenary crap to start flying.

My three children are warrior officers on active duty, and I did not actively influence them to join; it was a factor of where to get college money, and they all stayed in!

Last week I celebrated my 40th year since being drafted!

I heard from US Army Cadet Command while at Fort Monroe last week, that the San Francisco thing is not a &quot;done deal,&quot; that the new school board is more committed to keeping JROTC with all it&#039;s successes. We shall see.

After Kerry&#039;s &quot;joke&quot; about Iraq last year, I sent a broadcast message to my faculty saying among other things that my NCO colleague and I, and our immediate families had accumulated 159 years of post-secondary education. Some on the faculty asked to be removed from &quot;my&quot; mailing list. They really don&#039;t like it  when I remind them at faculty meetings that when one&#039;s head is in the sand, what part is sticking up in the air!

Anyway, I have to be watchful of what I say to my students, but I start every class with the new Army Strong video that deals a lot with courage and character.</description>

		<description>Dave Petteys replies to Rick Blume: I used to read a lot more about the conspiracy theories concerning the Rockefellers, the CFR, the New York banks, etc, than I have recently.  The conspiracy I see is between the Left and the news media, who seem oblivious to the danger this civilization faces from Islam. May I assume that you are  Hindu, judging from your email address?  

I agree that the term “mercenaries” is not necessarily a pejorative term: after all that’s what the Swiss Guards at the Vatican are in every sense of the term. Historically, the Swiss have always been the most loyal to their employers.

There is a difference between calling “contractors” in Iraq mercenaries (which they are in every sense) and using the term for the US armed forces that are deployed there.  The Left implies they are “mercenaries” because it is a volunteer Army and are paid, which denigrates their sense of duty and loyalty that most in the military feel when they serve.</description>

The Left implies they are “mercenaries” because it is a volunteer Army and are paid, which denigrates their sense of duty and loyalty that most in the military feel when they serve.</p>

		<description>You must STOP referring to the form of government established here as a &quot;democracy&quot;, unless you believe that our founders created that most hated form of government here or that you believe we should become one.  That will lend a lot of credibility to your arguments.  

This nation was founded as a Constitutional Republic and anyone literate would know that it is no mere &quot;semantic&quot; difference between a democracy and a republic.

The use of the term &quot;democracy&quot; comes from the democrats who are actually trying to establish mob rule here - because they refuse to be bound by the &quot;chains of the constitution&quot;, which explains why they&#039;re always trying to reinterpret our constitution in their courts.  This is a propaganda technique, a &quot;Big Lie&quot; intended to get us used to the idea that we live under majority rule and not the U.S. Constitution and this comprises a direct attack to undermine the Constitution - by using a psyop to get us to buy into the idea that some other form of government other than a Constitutional Republic was established here.  Look this up.  It was V.I. Lenin who said that &quot;Democracy is the most direct route to communism.&quot;  There is a reason why that is so and if you don&#039;t understand that, you haven&#039;t a leg to stand on when talking about American government. 

You&#039;ll never have any respect from any real Americans as long as you continue to refer to this country as a &quot;democracy&quot; in your articles.  

As for the other content of your article, it is a demonstrable fact that the U.S. military is being used by the globalists behind the United Nations, the Federal Reserve system and the CFR (who also incidentally WANT for us to become a democracy - in accord with Lenin&#039;s wishes) - to establish &quot;democracy&quot; in Iraq.  Sir, we couldn&#039;t do anything more evil than that and if you knew the difference between a Constitutional Republic and a Democracy, you&#039;d know that.  So, the upshot is that the U.S. Military is indeed a merc force that&#039;s being used by the Trotskyite elites in our government.  As for the term &quot;mercenary&quot; being used in this context being a pejorative, I disagree.  Mercenaries have been used in all wars and some were quite successful in advancing the cause of freedom, albeit for more selfish gains.  

As for the legitimate, constitutional use of our Military in the Middle East, I will state that it is indeed legitimate to go after any state sponsor of terrorism in order to take out those heads of state who aid and abet the terrorists.  It is a fact that both Iraq and Iran used chemical and biological weapons (mostly chemical) in their war and that the state of Iraq did possess the means of production for those agents.  I have NEVER believed our purpose in going to Iraq was to find &quot;stockpiles&quot; of WMD.  Stockpiles come and go.  It is the capability to PRODUCE stockpiles that is at issue, especially when a regime is a known state sponsor of terrorism.  It is also a FACT that Iraq was involved in 9/11.  Iraqi intelligence provided support for that operation.  This is a documented fact - no matter how many coats of whitewash the subject gets from the media and our own government.  So, did we have legitimate, constitutional authority to go into Iraq?  Yes, we did.  Should we have remained there to establish &quot;democracy&quot; in that country?  Absolutely not, not unless we&#039;re working for the UN and the whole cabal of statist/collectivist thugs behind that and other subversive organizations.  The people in that region cannot agree to disagree under any circumstances and it would have been impossible without securing the Syrian and Iranian borders to keep agitators out.  Only globalist one-worlders would fail to see the need for borders.</description>
