GOP friends, study these terms these entities– for they spell the doom of our Republic as we knew it.

Donald Trump, a little over a week ago proposed a scenario I had already pondered.  President Obama w/ MIC and neo-Con pressure could launch a war on Iran w/i a year and then win re-election.  The public will not vote out a sitting president in the midst of war.  And even if this prophecy does not come to pass, every GOP nominee besides Ron Paul supports incremental pressure on Iran up to and including bombing to stop production of a supposed nuclear weapon.  The party doesnt matter, the MIC has moved on from Iraq and is targeting Iran as the next US enemy in the crosshairs.

I am not debating whether Iran wants a weapon or not. I am completely in favor of Israel defending their integrity in the regional matter.  My goal here is to enlighten Americans on the dangers of blind interventionism.  Since 1950, the US has engaged in various conflicts which have little to do w/ our well-being, or were started on fabricated evidence.  The conflicts drag on with poor strategies to win or withdraw.  Research these entities and make informed decisions.  The day is coming when the only alternative will be a third-party ; but it must be popularly supported on a vast scale…

In the Eighties, I learned a valuable lesson from the John Birch Society.  The political spectrum is not really a flat line running left to right; it is actually more like a horseshoe.  The curve is home to constitutional republicanism (small r). where the ends nearly meet consist of Marxism (left) and Fascism (right). Marz fathered radical socialism or Communism. Most forget that Fascism is National Socialism (Nazi).  Both ends share a powerful oligarchy controlling the economy picking winners and losers.  The rich get richer while the middle class dissolves into the serf masses.  Bread & circuses are provided to keep social unrest at a minimum.

Keynesian Liberals see government as a cure-all. They never met a program they did not like.  Confiscate as much revenue as possible from the haves to redistribute to the have-nots. Great Society billions have been spent over a half century and poverty levels continue to grow while the traditional family and the Puritan work-ethic are disintegrating.  International financiers and mega-corporations control our elected officials with their lobby money.  They sell their ethical compass in pursuit of the almighty dollar. They destroy the middle class blue collar worker moving to use overseas labor.  They promote sources for enemies to continue war profiteering.  Both sides would continue the march toward an integrated global economy and political system to the detriment of our constitutional liberties and private-ownership, free-market system.

Both parties are riddled with members of these overlapping blocs.  To stay in power and continue to rake in federal benefits, they answer to the Oligarchy rather than the electorate.  Competitive primaries and greater third-party access are the most legitimate answer to the threat faced as of now.  Congressional perks: insurance, retirement, travel, etc., should be eradicated entirely.  American foreign policy should be based on nationalist concerns; we cannot go on as the world’s policeman. That practice broke the British Empire and we are sliding headlong down the same path.  American companies must bring jobs home, but the government should encourage them to do so with a carrot & stick approach, ie, tax policies on imports and fewer regulations and unfunded mandates.

The country is truly at a crossroads. The choice is whether to preserve the Republic with its constitutional liberties in regards to equality of opportunity in economics, political speech, and Judeo-Christian morality; or, do we continue incrementally towards a Corporate/ Financier class oligarchy overseeing a Welfare State on its way to full integration in a New World Order with a global economy on an uneven playing field and the emasculation of our Bill of Rights ?  Standing still is no longer an option for we are robbing our children’s generations of a way of life that was unequalled in History.

The Pontifical Council for Justice (sounds like the crowd that used to run the Inquisitions) calls for a “new world order based on ethics and the “achievement of a universal common good”.”  It suggests the reform process should “begin w/ the UN as a point of reference”.

Between the CFR crowd working in BOTH American political parties to integrate the US Govt into a world govt led by the UN politically, and the Roman Church working through ‘religion’ to bring the masses together, the New World Order marches onward surreptitiously……

Fukuyama was born in Chicago and raised in New York by Japanese parents.  His father was a Congregationalist minister and professor of religion.  After majoring in philosophy, he earned a doctorate in political science centered on Soviet and Middle East politics.  Considered a “neo-conservative”, he worked for the Rand Corporation and served in the Reagan Administrative as deputy director of the US state Department Policy Planning Staff.

Fukuyama’s thesis centers on the “triumph of the West”, with its liberal democracy and economics, over first the Fascism of Nazi Germany and Mussolini’s Italy and then the Marxist- Leninism of the Soviet Union. With the “dramatic liberal reforms” of Eastern Europe, Russia, and Chine since the late 80’s, History has “reached its terminus in liberal democracy” as competing ideologies have proven their utter failure ending in disrepute.

While he may be right about short-term large-scale conflicts like World War II (over for 65years), Fukuyama’s premise seems naïve to the goals of cryptic organizations dedicated to global economic domination preferably without another world conflagration.  It took two world wars to induce Americans to accept membership in an international league on- American soil no less!  The nearly decade-long Global War on Terror, provides further fear as a motivation to trade individual liberties for increased security.  Drawing upon the historical perspective of 19^th century German philosopher George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Fukuyama repeats his deficient future predictions.  Hegel proclaimed history at an end in 1806 with Napoleon’s devastating victory over Prussia at Jena.  It seemed to signal the rise of “democratic ideals borne in the Enlightenment and French Revolution”.  Hegel failed to foresee Bonaparte’s own dictatorial leanings; European authoritarian resurgence in crushing liberal revolutions in 1830 and 1848; continued Russian autocracy and the rise of an aggressive militarist Germany 1864-1871.

Likewise, Fukuyama ignores models of “superman” or right-wing movements filling power vacuums with less than idealistic liberal tendencies.  While it is true the countries of post-war Western Europe have succumbed into “flabby, prosperous, self-satisfied, inward- looking, weak-willed states” personified by the creation of the Common Market and now Europe Union, it was only after 2 severe blood-lettings.  The same does not hold true for the 20^th century Communist giants, Russia and China. While both may flirt with economic liberalism at varying degrees, neither seems hell-bent for liberal democracy. The rulers of China may tweak their economy, “Socialism with Chinese tendencies”, but it remains a one party authoritarian state. Russia since the Communist Party’s demise has, as Fukuyama quotes Charles Krauthammer, reverted to behavior common to old imperial Russia. What these two nations share in common is a reliance on State-directed economics based on political nationalism. Internationalist Marxist- Leninism has failed utterly but Nationalist- Socialism is alive and well.

This resurgence of Fascism does not end there, and Fukuyama knows it.  The US is headed down the same path and the remaining space here will be spent proving it. American Hamiltonian and Hegelian disciples have labored for generations to create an oligarchy led by an elite made up of internationalist financiers. Hegel and Friedrich Nietzsche glorified the State under the influence of a Romantic tyranny personified in Napoleon. The Russian philosopher Alexander Kojeve carried this process a step further as he promoted the “best” tendencies of right and left to propound the ultimate Synarchist State. He proclaimed himself a “Marxist of the Right” – similar in definition to National Socialism or Modern Fascism. Fukuyama is a student of Kojeve.

There is more than one way to conquer a nation. Our Founding Fathers understood this. Control of a nation’s financial system creates power as it enslaves debtors.  The greatest victor of any war has been the speculator- the financier. Even in economic depressions there are winners. Internationalist financiers use willing political pawns to achieve their goals. These forces have been methodical in promoting a world confederation authoritarian and collectivist in nature.  While no foreign power has been able to undermine the independence of the American politics- economic system, internal foes have strived to do so. Presidents Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson wrestled with National Banks and successfully reduced the national debt. Jackson called Americans to help him fight “the corporate monster” bank. Historian Robert Remini writes, “The Bank, in 1828, was a financial colossus, entrenched in the nation’s economy, possessing the means of draining species from state banks at will and regulating currency according to its own estimate of the nation’s needs.” Though Jackson vetoed the renewal charter of the National Bank, its power was felt as its director Nicholas Biddle called in loans and contracted credit leading to recession and the 1837 international depression.

The 19^th century National Bank set the stage for the 1913 Federal Reserve Act signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson. Like its predecessor, the Federal Reserve Board is a chartered monopoly. The legal power to “create” money and credit is removed from Congress (Article 1, section 8; US Constitution) and placed with a private corporation controlled by Bankers. The Fed has printed trillions of dollars which they lend to the US government and its citizens at interest. Their flood of paper currency, with no regard to population growth or precious metal collateral, has caused massive inflation triggering numerous social and economic problems. The Director of the Federal Reserve Board is often more powerful than the President without responsibility to an electorate.

After winning reelection with a slogan of “He Kept Us Out Of War”, Wilson “with righteous indignation” brought America into World War I in April 1917. Much of Europe fell for his blueprint for world economic collectivism and political internationalism (the 14 Points) at the Versailles Peace Conference culminating in the formation of the League of Nations. Wilson and his closest advisors, including Col. Edward M House, lobbied hard for American integration in the league using the threat of future wars as an incentive. Twice the conservative-led US Senate rejected surrendering American sovereignty to that organization.  George Washington’s presidential farewell address forewarned the US to stay out of foreign alliance entanglements.  House was not finished though.  He and some internationalist friends joined the fledgling Council on Foreign Relations in 1919.  There they began long-range efforts to manipulate American domestic and foreign policies to steer the country toward world government.  Not to infer that all CFR members support American subservience to internationalism, but as former Judge Advocate of the Navy and CFR member Admiral Chester Ward stated, “…the CFR does not write the platforms of both political parties or select their presidential candidates or control the policies of those, but CFR members as individuals acting in concert with other individual CFR members, do.”  Reading membership lists of the Council on Foreign Relations is like a Who’s Who of leading Republican and Democrat politicians and major Media figures.  Government authority and intervention continues to expand while personal liberties erode. Policies remain in effect from one administration to the next without regard to party no matter how detrimental to the health and well-being of the nation.

After a “roaring” decade of unprecedented accumulation of consumer debt and stock market speculation, the Federal Reserve contracted the level of American currency and credit, and called in notes on existing loans (similar to Nicholas Biddle’s 1837 efforts).  The Fed’s constrictive policies helped to trigger the stock market crash of October, 1929 and ensuing Great Depression which followed.  The Bankers’ powerful grip on the American economy tightened again.  The New Deal policies of President Franklin D Roosevelt allowed the financiers to wring power from the states.  The national debt climbed higher than ever before:  from $1 billion in 1918, to more than $24 billion between the world wars, and growing to over $150 billion by 1945.  The Second World War proved intimidating enough to the American public to accept membership in the United Nations.  The men (and Eleanor Roosevelt, of course) behind the UN’s creation sought a New World Order with collectivist industrial and agricultural systems willing even to surrender American sovereignty.  The US pays more in dues than any other country although much of its budget is spent on wasteful, socialistic programs.  Membership in the UN, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, NAFTA, and the other similar organizations compromise American independence.

New York Mayor John F Hylan, in a 1922 speech, said, “The real menace of our republic is the invisible government, which like a giant octopus, sprawls its slimy length over our city, state and nation.  At the head is a small group of bankers… This little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run our government for their own selfish ends.”  Senator William Jenner, on February 23, 1954, stated, “Today the path to total dictatorship in the United States can be laid by strictly legal means…  Outwardly we have a Constitutional government. We have operating within our government and political system another body representing another form of government, a bureaucratic elite which believes our Constitution is outmoded….”  President Dwight D Eisenhower warned the nation in his Farewell Address of 1961, “Until the latest of our world conflicts, the United States had no armaments industry. American makers of plowshares could, with time and as required, make swords as well. But now we can no longer risk emergency improvisation of national defense; we have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions. Added to this, three and a half million men and women are directly engaged in the defense establishment. We annually spend on military security more than the net income of all United States corporations.

This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence — economic, political, even spiritual — is felt in every city, every State house, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society.

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together. “

Ike understood the MIC needs an “enemy” to stay in the business of making money.  For over four decades, it was the Reds in the Cold War.  Permanent bases were established around the world; new weapons technology is constantly being produced; and “police” conflicts are waged on a variety of continents.  Then came the Global War on Terror after September 11, 2001.  Like Korea and Vietnam, the Afghan and Iraqi wars are not being fought to win unconditionally as American wars were in the past.  They drag on interminably until the American public loses confidence and concedes to bringing the troops home with tactical wins but strategic losses.

America is witnessing a perfect storm as the CFR, the MIC, and the Federal Reserve create a mere caricature of the original political and economic systems the Founding Fathers established.  DC usurps authority rightfully belonging to the states; executive departments become centers of far-left ideologies.  America accepts socialism incrementally since 1933.  The Federal government holds an 80+% stake in American International Group Inc. (Associated Press, 12/10); it controls 70% of General Motors Corp.  The recently passed Health Insurance overhaul legislation requires all Americans to purchase health insurance coverage and calls for health insurance companies to “spend at least 80 cents of every premium dollar on medical care and quality.  For employer plans covering more than 50 people, the requirement is 85 cents”… [Obama] Administration officials said it will prevent insurers from wasting valuable premiums on administration, marketing, and executive bonuses” (AP, 11/10).  This is without doubt Socialism, and borders on Fascism.  Bailouts and government officials on corporate boards allow the federal government to reward and punishment companies according to its own agenda.  Fukuyama is not naïve to these developments.  He has worked for the RAND Corporation and continues to write articles for them.  A combination of Air Force officers, led by General Curtis LeMay, academics, and industrialists, led by Donald Douglas of Douglas Aircraft Company, organized the RAND Corporation by 1961 as a private organization to “connect military planning with research and development decisions”.  In other words, RAND, described in 1993 by Rene Wormser as a “federally-funded CFR ‘think tank’”, is an integral part of the Military Industrial Complex.  While internationalist Marxist-Leninist and hyper-aggressive, militarist Fascist states may fade into the cobwebs of History, that does not guarantee the sweeping liberalism of democracy and free-market capitalism.  As long as there are powerful money interests and intellectual elites establishing shadow governments with the goal of making the US part of some New World Order you cannot not count History out yet.

Robert E Lee revered the Old Union that his father and his father’s friends founded; “he wanted to restore that Union….”  He did not oppose reunification, but stressed cooperation; register to vote and elect “wise and patriotic men”.  “The Union, as established by our forefathers, should be preserved and the government as originally organized should be administered in purity and truth.  Lee clung to the idea of limited central gov’t….”

In letters to John Walker and Gov. Letcher of Virginia, he stressed these principles.  Speaking of his military actions with the Confederacy, “I had no other guide,… than the defense of those principles of American liberty upon which the Constitutions of the several states were originally founded; & unless they are strictly observed, I fear there will be an end to Republican Government in this country [sadly prescient]“.  British historian John Dalberg-Acton shared this from a conversation with Lee: “consolidation of the States into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded it.”

Lee understood History– Rome went through this chain of events; France from revolution thr. Napoleon went through this chain of events; and so has the US.  As the central gov’t usurped power over the lives of citizens (Federalists1790s; Radical Republicans 1862-80; Liberal Democrats- Wilson, FDR, LBJ ; and both parties’ leaders involved with the Council on Foreign Relations 1919-present), the constitutional republic of our forefathers has been perverted beyond recognition.  Read Patrick J Buchanan’s numerous books detailing this process.  The neo-imperialist central gov’t of the US has  repeatedly acted aggressive abroad since 1917.  Countless incursions in Latin America; the Philippines; Lebanon;  nation-building in Iraq and Afghanistan. 

To his cousin Annette Carter, Lee wrote, “Every brave people who considered their rights attacked & their Constitutional liberties invaded, would have done as we did. Our conduct was not caused by any insurrectionary spirit…, for our construction of the Constitution under which we lived & acted was the same from its adoption & for 80 yrs we have been taught & educated by the founders of the republic… which controlled our consciences & actions.”   He fought to save, not destroy, the Founding Fathers’ original plan.  Lee died in 1870 believing the country’s ills could be cured within the system created by the Founding Fathers.  I share that same belief today.

The names changed through the years, but the opposing ideologies basically remained the same until after World War I.  The Great War was not enough of a threat to Americans to convince them to surrender sovereignty to a League of Nations. Henry Cabot Lodge led the Senate in defeating the Versailles Treaty in 1919.  Woodrow Wilson’s close advisor Col Edward House organized a group of political and business leaders from both major parties with a long term plan to move the United States toward integration in a World Government.  The Council on Foreign Relations went to work on achieving this goal. The deadlier and costlier WWII proved to be the catalyst to start the process as the United Nations was instituted and placed on American soil in 1945.

Southern Democrats once fought for states’ rights, but they are few and far between now in a party dominated by northeastern ultra-liberals; Ronald Reagan brought to fruition the seeds of Conservatism Barry Goldwater planted, but the GOP never used their years in power to undo the New Deal and Great Society. Do you wonder why big government incrementalism continues unabated regardless of the party in power since 1945?  The two major parties are ensconced with members of the CFR.  There are still good conservatives here and there, but the socialistic world gov’t ideologues control both parties. 

The Democrat party, pro-abortion, pro-homosexual, anti-2nd amendmt, and weak-kneed in foreign policy, is hopeless for America’s future.  While disgusted with the GOP over the last five years, one can hope the recent grassroots movement to stop Cap and Trade legislation and Government-Run HealthCare builds momentum in 2010 and on to 2012.  The disgust with the GOP is due to their ranks being dominated by RINOs.  CONSERVATIVES- more Americans refer to themselves as conservative more than any other label.  GOP- 20%, Democrats 33%,Liberal- 15%, Conservative- 35%.  Less Gov’t, lower taxes, free-enterprise capitalism, individual responsibility- traditional conservatism is the answer for what ails us.  No more blind support for Republicans who act like Democrats or sellouts to the CFR. Sarah Palin made the right stand this week supporting the conservative party candidate in the 23rd NY House district race whereas Newt Gingrich blindly supported a pro-abortion, pro-gay rights, anti-2nd amendmt Republican in the race.

The two major parties in the US, dominated by the CFR, have control of the election process infrastructure.  In the state of NC, it is almost impossible to get third parties on the ballot.  Where do these parties get constitutional authority for freezing out other choices for elections across this republic? It is unethical and in violation of the founders’ spirit.  While no third party candidate has won the presidency, several have affected the outcome — 1824, 1860, 1912, 1968, 1992, and 2001.  I attended the NC Libertarian Party convention last April and came away impressed with the folks involved with it. Dr Mike Munger (of Duke University) got 3% of the votes in the NC 2008 gubernatorial race; Dr Mike Beitler (of UNCG) is currently running for the US Senate seat held by Richard Burr for 2010. These are good men worthy of support. They offer a fresh choice from the run of the mill professional politician.  While I cannot support all of the Libertarian social issue and foreign policy positions, I score a 90 on agreement w/ their economic platform. There is a Conservative Party which is strong in some states, but not currently organized in NC.   Maybe it has a future here as well.  It is time to press the NC Legislature to amend the elections process and allow greater third party or independent candidate participation.  The major party monopoly on the process must be broken to overcome their wrong-headed policies.
