“Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss.” -Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775

Today is Memorial Day.  George Washington’s Farewell Address to the People of these United States of America, 1796

“The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements, let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop. Europe has a set of primary interests which to us have none; or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves by artificial ties in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics, or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities.

“Our detached and distant situation invites and enables us to pursue a different course. If we remain one people under an efficient government, the period is not far off when we may defy material injury from external annoyance; when we may take such an attitude as will cause the neutrality we may at any time resolve upon to be scrupulously respected; when belligerent nations, under the impossibility of making acquisitions upon us, will not lightly hazard the giving us provocation; when we may choose peace or war, as our interest, guided by justice, shall counsel.

“Why forego the advantages of so peculiar a situation? Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalship, interest, humor or caprice?

“It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world; so far, I mean, as we are now at liberty to do it; for let me not be understood as capable of patronizing infidelity to existing engagements. I hold the maxim no less applicable to public than to private affairs, that honesty is always the best policy. I repeat it, therefore, let those engagements be observed in their genuine sense. But, in my opinion, it is unnecessary and would be unwise to extend them.”

Art. 1, Section 8 Clause 11 of the U.S. Constitution – Legislative Authority: “To declare war…”  Only Congress can declare the U.S. go to war:

“The Constitution grants Congress the sole power to declare war. Congress has declared war on 11 occasions, including its first declaration of war with Great Britain in 1812. Congress approved its last formal declaration of war during World War II.

“Since that time it has agreed to resolutions authorizing the use of military force and continues to shape U.S. military policy through appropriations and oversight.”

June 25, 1950:  The Korean War Chronology:  North Korean forces cross border with South Korea. North Korean People’s Army (NKPA) numbers approximately 135,000 men; Republic of Korea (ROK) Army contains 98,000 soldiers.  July 1, 1950:  First U.S. ground combat troops, Task Force Smith (1st Battalion, 21st Infantry, 24th Infantry Division), arrive in Korea.”

There was no formal declaration of war by Congress so what were our ground troops doing meddling in foreign affair? US troop levels in South Korea will hold steady under defense budget proposal, Dec. 8, 2023: “CAMP HUMPHREYS, South Korea — U.S. troop levels in South Korea will remain the same under an annual budget proposal submitted to Congress by the House and Senate Armed Services Committees on Thursday. Under the proposal, the roughly 28,500 U.S. troops deployed to South Korea will be maintained to affirm “the United States commitment to extended deterrence using the full range of … defense capabilities.”

During Bush, Jr.,’s presidency the evil “axis of power” included North Korea.  Sure, while you and I paid for tons of food being shipped to No. Korea at the same time their dictator bought weapons instead of food for his people.  No where in the U.S. Constitution does it give a president or Congress the authority to rape us using borrowed ‘phantom money’ to send food to other countries – especially a country branded as evil by globalist Bush Sr. and his son, Bush, Jr.

U.S. to send tons of food to North Korea, May 16, 2008:  “The United States said Friday it has reached a deal with North Korea to provide 500,000 metric tons of food aid over the coming year to the closed-off communist nation.”  While you struggle to feed your family, the fruits of your labor are stolen from your paycheck to do that?

Oh, and let’s not forget trade between No. and So. Koreans while thousands of our military have been “guarding” the demilitarized zone for since I was a toddler.  North & South Korea have a long history of trade that’s had its good times and bad times.  No. Korea is in bed with the commies (China) but there’s still a lot of trade going on.  What No. Korea needs is for that tub of lard, Kim Jong-un, removed, No. Korea to put a lid on development of nuclear weapons and transition into a peaceful, trading nation.  South Korea’s Economic Engagement toward North Korea by Lee Sangkeun & Moon Chung-in

Since there has never been a declaration of war by Congress against No. Korea, bring our troops home and let those nations work it out between each other.

Vietnam. Let me get this old debunked conspiracy theory out of the way:  JFK issued Executive Order No. 11110.  This is a legal analysis by a criminal defense attorney Larry Becraft, with more than 35 years- experience who actually knows what he’s talking about and does the deep research:

“There is currently floating around the Net one theory of the Kennedy assassination based upon certain legal documents. According to this idea, Kennedy was assassinated because he was about ready to start issuing silver certificates; to prevent him from doing so, the “powers that be” had him killed. Please understand that what I offer below explaining the flaw of this argument does not mean that I am an apologist for the Fed or banking industry; it should be obvious from my site that I am not. I only offer these comments because this argument demonstrates just one of the completely erroneous arguments which is allegedly based upon the “law” but is not.”

John F. Kennedy did not want a war with Vietnam. JFK Had Ordered Full Withdrawal from Vietnam: Solid Evidence

War is big business and there was lots of money to be made; Kennedy had to go.  The Bay of Tonkin was based on lies.  What led to the Gulf of Tonkin incident in Vietnam?

“After the event, Captain John Herrick of the Maddox sent a message: “Review of action makes many reported contacts and torpedoes fired appear doubtful. Freak weather effects on radar and overeager sonarmen may have accounted for many reports. …Suggest complete evaluation before any further action taken.” Despite the uncertainty, President Johnson informed the United States Congress that the two naval destroyers had been attacked by the North Vietnamese.

“This prompted Congress to pass the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which gave the president the right to take all necessary measures to repel any armed attack against the United States. This resolution and the Gulf of Tonkin incident resulted in the U.S. getting directly involved in Vietnam. The resolution was later repealed, as many members of Congress believed that it gave the president a blanket power to wage war.”  After the cows left the barn.

Congress never issued a formal declaration of war against Vietnam but had no problem sending 550,000 of our finest, 58,000 dead to engage in battle with commie forces -gotta stop Vietnam from becoming a communist country!  The U.S. withdrew from Vietnam in 1973 and left thousands of our own behind – many who ended up in the hands of Russia or the barbaric, savage Communist Chinese.  “Military men are just dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy.” Satan’s Pimp:  Henry Kissinger.  Yes, that “great diplomat” actually said that.

Gradually, the Communist Party has been losing some control over Vietnam but they are still staunchly socialist and still squabbling with their neighbors.  I wouldn’t buy a stick of gum from Vietnam.  Let them fight their own battles with each other.  The bottom line is once again the Constitution was ignored and a whole lot of money was made during that “era”.

Labor Secretary under Bill Clinton, Robert Reich, January 7, 1999, USA Today:

“The dirty little secret is that both houses of Congress are irrelevant.” Reich cut to the chase when he said that “America’s domestic policy is now being run by Alan Greenspan and the Federal Reserve and America’s foreign policy is now being run by the International Monetary Fund [IMF].” And, “…when the president decides to go to war, he no longer needs a declaration of war from Congress.”

Colin Powell stood in front of the communist Controlled UN and lied:  Saddam Hussein had WMD’s and off we went to destroy another country, murder a dictator (who at least kept the warring Muslim factions under control) and killed hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi’s.  All without a formal declaration of war by Congress.

Over to Afghanistan to wreak death and destruction for 20 years with no formal declaration of war by Congress.  Any American paying attention knows the history of Iraq & Afghanistan and America’s invasion of those countries based on lies.  Never forget the career criminal in the WH, pedo sniffer, Joe Biden, cost the lives of 13 Americans and abandoned thousands of Americans when he sat there eating ice cream during the biggest military disaster in our history.  Trump already had a peaceful, sane exit plan in place but was then cheated out of his second term before he could give the orders.  How could ANY active duty or veteran vote for Joe Biden after that slaughter of our own?

Full page ad, NY Times, April 15, 1994:

1944. Bretton Woods: The IMF and the World Bank. 1945. San Francisco: The United Nations. 1994, Marrakech: The World Trade Organization. History knows where it’s going. The final act of the Uruguay Round….to the WTO, the third pillar of the New World Order, along with the UN and the IMF.”

How to cut corners to get around the U.S. Constitution.  Let’s just ignore the Constitution and use UN Resolutions to send our troops where we have no business being.  Over the decades there’s been several bills to get US out of the communist controlled UN.  All have failed because there was no demand by the American people spending their time tweeting or playing video games.

And last but not least, Congress has raped We the People with ZERO constitutional authority to send to Ukraine, one of the most corrupt countries on the planet more than $200 BILLION BORROWED dollars.  With the debt slapped on our backs, our children and grandchildren.

The illegitimate Biden administration with the blessing of most of Congress has been running a proxy war against Russia.  Show me where in the U.S. Constitution, the Supreme Law of the Land, they have the authority to send money & weapons to Ukraine while they fight a losing battle.  A war that did NOT have to happen.

Russia Says It Will End Ukraine War on These Four Conditions, March 16, 2022: “In an interview with Reuters on Monday, Peskov said Moscow could “end war immediately” if Ukraine agreed to sign a neutrality agreement that would bar it from entering NATO, recognized Crimea as Russian, recognized the regions of Luhansk and Donetsk as independent, and ceased all military action.”

If a person has done any unbiased research on Ukraine & Russia, they will understand exactly why Putin wanted Ukraine to sign that neutrality agreement that it would not join NATO.  Of course, the former penis waging comedian, President Zelensky, said F-YU and now his country is in ruins and will lose that war.  This does not mean I am a fan of Putin, but let’s get facts to the American people and not political propaganda playing the American people for fools.

Ukraine and Russia have a long history unknown to all the do-gooders out there raising money for Ukraine when they haven’t a clue how this latest war between those two countries got started.  It is a tragedy of immense proportions that could have been avoided but down the line international corporations will make tons of money “rebuilding” Ukraine and you can bet our corrupt Congress will want to send hundreds of billions more in violation of the Constitution to rebuild what we helped destroy.  With money where there’s no accounting so far and endless weapons of war depleting OUR reserves leaving us vulnerable.

NATO – A rotten, corrupt collection of war mongers which is nothing more than a damn war machine. 

While I am no fan of the CATO Institute, don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.  In 1994, Ted Galen Carpenter wrote an exceptional book (short & fully footnoted):  Beyond NATO:  Staying Out of Europe’s Wars:

“Beyond NATO demolishes the utopian thinking behind a major component of U.S. foreign policy and explains how to put U.S.-European relations on a realistic, genuinely constructive footing.  This book should be force-fed to every senior foreign policy official in Washinton.” Alan Tonelson, Economic Strategy Institute.  Carpenter’s book is free-on-line.  Stop using our military as cannon fodder for the banking cartels and global elites who want to control the world.

Ted Carpenter was right back then and he’s still right:  We MUST get out of the UN and NATO.  Come January 2025, We the People must demand it as people around the world are also sick and tired of their loved ones going to wars that are unnecessary – unless your country is attacked and then a country has a right to defend themselves.

Memorial Day.  A day of remembrance and thanks to all those who made the ultimate sacrifice. God rest their soul in peace.  Memorial Day is to honor and mourn U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.  Put politics aside for today and remember them and their families because the hurt never goes away.

Just a kid.  Marine Sgt. Michael Strank of Conemaugh, PA., reported killed in action on Iwo Jima, was identified on April 8, 1945 as one of the marines shown raising the stars and stripes on Mount Suribachi in Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal’s historic picture.

A mom, sister, wife.  A broken heart forever.

If you live near a veteran’s cemetery or Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, DC (I’ve been there twice; graves hundreds of years old), take the time to visit and leave flowers on a soldier’s grave.
