“America should have minded her own business and stayed out of the World War. If you hadn’t entered the war the Allies would have made peace with Germany in the spring of 1917. Had we made peace then there would have been no collapse in Russia followed by Communism, no breakdown in Italy followed by Fascism, and Germany would not have signed the Versailles Treaty, which has enthroned Nazism in Germany. If America had stayed out of the war, all of these ‘isms’ wouldn’t today be sweeping the continent and breaking down parliamentary government, and if England had made peace early in 1917, it would have saved over one million British, French, American and other lives.”
Winston Churchill, 1936
Just prior to the transition into the Twentieth Century, on February 15, 1898, in the first suspicion of a false flag operation, the U. S. Battleship Maine blew up in Havana Harbor killing 266 men. Though there was no evidence, Spain was blamed for the incident. This incensed the American people and allowed Congress to pass a joint resolution demanding Spanish withdrawal and allowing the use of military force in support of Cuban patriots bent on a “free and independent” Cuba.
Teddy Roosevelt and his rough riders with the assistance of Cuban patriots defeated the Spanish in Cuba and Commodore George Dewey defeated the Spanish fleet in the Battle of Manila Bay.
Hostilities stopped on August 12th, 1898. This short war ended in December by the Treaty of Paris creating a much longer war in its wake. The United States gained most of the remainder of Spain’s colonies: The Philippines, Guam, Puerto Rico, and Cuba.
The Philippines was to be a Pacific base and preparations were made to obtain military control of the island. Initially, in August, 1898, 11,000 American ground troops were dispatched but as resistance mounted the force was increased to 126,000 well equipped troops led by 30 generals 26 of whom had fought in the Indian Wars.
It was a brutal conflict, almost another genocide. Superior United States forces, hardened by the Indian Wars, burned and destroyed villages, herded civilians into concentration camps, and carried out macabre reprisals on rumors about prisoner executions. The barbarity of the Northern forces at the end of the Civil War was re-enforced during the fights with the Indians and carried over into this conflict. United States lost 4300 of their 126,000 man army. The Philippine forces were 80,000 at the beginning and 64,000 at the end. Estimates of civilian Philippine deaths from the war, disease, and famine range from 200,000 to 1 million. Active hostilities lasted until 1913. The Archipelago has never know lasting peace.
With the extermination of most of the Aborigines and the coming of the Twentieth Century, United States became a muscular force throughout the world.
During the first three decades of the new century until Franklin D. Roosevelt instituted the “Good Neighbor Policy” in 1934, the Banana Wars involved several incursions in Central and South American countries. Notably among them were Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Panama. In several instances the government supported United Fruit and their commercial stakes in bananas, tobacco, and sugar cane. Other times independent governments in South and Central America were manipulated.
Central Banking systems allowed nations to create large sums of money needed to finance wars. This was abetted by regular bankers who realized big profits by providing financing to hawkish governments. New weapons made wars more lethal and the Twentieth Century became the bloodiest century in the history of the world.
World War I began in 1914, it was billed as the “war to end all wars”. The fighting was between the Allies; Russia, France, Britain, and later Italy and the United States, and the Central Powers; Austria, Germany, and the Ottoman Empire. The instigation of the war was blamed on Germany who was said to be seeking control of Europe.
United States had no vested interest in this war. There is a sizeable body of evidence that points to heavy Zionist pressure to enlist American participation on the side of the British who at the time were not winning the conflict. The quid pro quo was the creation of a Zionist State in Palestine which at the time was controlled by the British. With pressure from highly placed Zionist government employees, media moguls, and bankers, Woodrow Wilson, who had been elected on a peace platform, led the nation into the war. The Balfour Agreement, creating a new Israel, sealed the deal.
The ground war was fought almost entirely in Germany. There were several naval operations and for the first time in history there was an air war.
United States involvement secured victory for the Allied forces and resulted in major changes in the borders and the power structure of Europe. The Russian Revolution brought Communism to Russia and the short lived League of Nations was the first sprout of One World Government.
Estimates of dead soldiers were 5 million for the Allied Forces and 4 million for the Central Powers. The larger amount of casualties on the victorious side resulted from their inferior strategic position before United States entered the war. The War was formally ended by the Treaty of Versailles on June 28, 1919 and Germany was saddled with heavy reparations.
Intrinsic in the exorbitant reparations were the seeds of the next world conflict. Run-away inflation caused by printing currency to pay off debt ruined the economy and caused wide spread dissatisfaction among the German people. When Hitler promised jobs and economic stability many heeded his promise.
The financial chaos that overcame Germany following the First World War provided big profits to international bankers. Loans were made to Germany under plans designed in 1924 by Banker Charles G. Dawes and in 1928 by J. P Morgan Agent Owen D. Young. These loans were used to create the corporate entities that would ultimately furnish materials for the World War II German war machine. The details of this massive financial enablement are here.
In 1939 the seeds of the next world conflict began to grow. Germany under the boot of Adolph Hilter was at the center. On September 1st, 1939 German armies invaded Poland. Within two years Hitlers minions had overrun Europe, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Yugoslavia, and Greece. Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 Germany declared war on the United States and America became involved in the second European conflict of the Twentieth Century. There is a sizeable body of evidence that the Roosevelt Administration was complicit in creating and allowing the Japanese attack .
The war was fought in the air, on the sea, and on the ground in Europe, Africa, and the South Pacific. When it was over in 1945 the dead numbered 62 million or about 2.5 percent of the total world population. It birthed the Atomic Bomb, Jet propulsion, Space Rockets, Antibiotics, the United Nations, and the Cold War.
Without the assistance of central banks, international bankers, and the international corporations they control, this war would not have been possible. I. G. Farben was one of the large corporations created by the Dawes and Young Plans following WW I. Since Germany had no access to petroleum products, Standard Oil, controlled by the Rockefeller family, transferred to Farben a process for producing synthetic gasoline from coal. The process was called hydrogenation. The German war machine was almost entirely fueled with synthetic gasoline produced from coal. The sordid details of American complicity in the rise and arming of the Third Reich are here.
When the Korean War began in 1950 President Truman failed to abide by the Constitutional mandate that only Congress can declare war; instead he called it a police action and went to the United Nations to gain approval. This Police Action involved the participation of over a dozen nations. However, the bulk of the troops were from the United States with only token participation by others. This set a pattern for Twentieth Century United States conflicts.
When the Korean Conflict was over in 1953 there were one to three million casualties in the United Nations forces and two to five million for the North Koreans, Chinese, and Soviets. Over a million South Koreans were killed, 85 percent were civilians. Russian figures estimated North Korea casualties at over one million or about 11 percent of their total population.
Korea remains divided at the 38th parallel and North Korea is a troublesome enemy to this day.
On July 15, 1958 President Eisenhower under Operation Blue Bat sent 14,000 troops to Lebanon to prop up the Christian regime of Camille Chamoun. American diplomat Robert Murphy convinced Chamoun to resign and replaced him with Fuad Chehab.
Though the Vietnam War started in 1957 the United States was not substantially involved until1965. It was a long war in which American involvement escalated with time. In a way this War and the Korean War were surrogate wars in which United States forces were combating the advance of Russian Communism. The objective of the war was obscure and the real enemy unassailable. Finally public opinion and the collapse of the South Vietnamese army forced an end to the conflict. United States lost the war and South Vietnam joined with the Communist North. In 1975 it was concluded with over 200 thousand Americans killed, wounded, or missing in action. Between 2 and 3 million Vietnamese civilians died and some 3 million were sickened by Agent Orange.
The United States involvement with governments in the Middle East has been substantial and of long standing.
The hated pro-American, CIA created, Iranian regime of Shah Reza Pahlavi was overthrown in 1978 and he was forced into exile. He was replaced by Ayatollah Ruholla Khomeini, a Shia Muslim clergyman, who had been living in exile in France. In 1979 under the Presidency of Jimmy Carter a major crisis erupted in Iran when on November 4th a group of students seized the American Embassy in Tehran and took 66 hostages.
President Carter responded with a covert helicopter rescue operation dubbed “Operation Eagle Claw”. Doomed from its inception the mission was disrupted by sand storms, collisions, faulty equipment and confusion. It was called off, but a collision between a helicopter and a transport aircraft killed eight members of the rescue team. Several of their burnt bodies were part of a savage street demonstration taunting the failed American invasion.
This ignominious defeat fueled a lasting antipathy between Iran and United States.
In 1983 under the Presidency of Ronald Reagan the United States invaded Granada and replaced the pro-Castro regime with the New National Party headed by Herbert Blaize.
From 1980 to 1988 the Reagan Regime supported the Iraq government of Saddam Hussein in a war against Iran. It was another bloody war that resulted in the deaths of a million people and cost the United States a trillion dollars.
In December 1989, President George H. W. Bush used the name Operation Just Cause to invaded Panama and took its President, Manuel Noriega, prisoner. President Bush claimed the operation was to protect the Panama Canal, to stop drug trafficking, to defend Democracy, and safeguard U. S. citizens. Twenty six soldiers were killed and up to 4000 civilians.
In August, 1990, President Bush used a massive American army to fight an Iraqi invasion of neighboring Kuwait. The ground forces were supported by an equally massive air offensive. Dutifully adhering to his One World Government philosophy, Bush allowed the U. N. to conduct the war resulting in a failure to achieve complete victory. Six hundred and sixty thousand strong, the U. N. coalition army led by American General Norman Schwarzkopf quickly defeated Saddam Hussein’s ill-equipped 545,000 men. At the direction of the United Nations the Army was withdrawn without taking Baghdad or Saddam Hussein. U. N forces lost 345 soldiers and a thousand were wounded. Casualties on the Iraqi side were estimated at 25,000 dead and 100,000 to 300,000 wounded.
During the last decade of the Twentieth Century, the Nation of Somalia was overtaken with anarchy and armed chaos. In December1992, the United Nations sent troops spearheaded by American President Bush’s armed forces. Nation building was the final goal but the conflict had no specific military objective and ended as a humiliation for American forces. The movie “Black Hawk Down” was a result of an encounter during the battle of Mogadishu. President Clinton withdrew our forces.
In 1994, President Clinton joined a United Nations coalition to restore order in Haiti after the government of Jean-Bertrand Aristide was overthrown by a coup. Efforts to restore stability have so far failed despite the presence of U. N. peacekeepers.
Between August 30 and September 14, 1995, the United States Air Forces joined coalition forces in an event called Operation Deliberate Force intervened with bombing raids in the Bosnia War in an effort to force the Serbian forces to negotiate. These operations were sponsored by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (A United Nations operative) and resulted in former Serbian President Slobodan Melosevic being brought before the World Court at the Hague. He died before his trial was completed. This disparate area was once peaceful under the iron fist of Marshall Tito. Since his death peace has been evasive.
On September 11th, 2001 four commercial aircraft were hijacked. Two of these planes flew at high speed into the Twin Towers in New York City, one flew into the side of the Pentagon in Washington, D. C., and the fourth crashed in Pennsylvania. Immediately described as a terrorist attack and attributed to Osama bin Laden, it was a spectacular, mind numbing event.
The 9/11 attacks set the stage for the so-called War on Terror. This open-ended, non-specific, concocted war has been responsible for major changes in the land of the free and the home of the brave.
In October 2001, American troops invaded Afghanistan. The initial objective was to overthrow the Taliban government, find Osama bin Laden, and dismantle al-Qaeda. So far we have succeeded in overthrowing the Taliban government and capturing or killing several al-Qaeda personnel. Osama has proved evasive and our control over Afghanistan is gossamer.
Following a long debate pregnant with distorted propaganda, on March 20, 2003 President George W. Bush began Operation Iraqi Freedom by sending the United States Army into the sovereign nation of Iraq for a second time. On May 1, 2003 he shamelessly staged what has proved to be a pre-mature victory speech on the deck of the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln.
At the present time United States has between a hundred and a hundred and fifty thousand troops in Iraq. The nation is still chaotic with internal conflicts as well as serious insurgent activity. Permanent installations have been constructed and it appears American forces are there to stay.
Twentieth Century wars have in most every case had a One World Order aspect. Since World War II they have been fought either under the direction of or with the approval of the United Nations. The United States has been used as the primary enforcement arm of the One World Order. This silent presence is an elephant in every public discussion and an issue that makes restrictions on American freedoms ever more ominoous.
Similar to the War in Vietnam, the Iraq War has divided the nation. By seriously overworking our volunteer army the Administration has avoided a draft which would exacerbate dissent. The war has cost us over $300 billion; there is no sign of victory and no end in sight.
American history involves a litany of wars and conflicts. Our citizens have known freedom and enjoyed prosperity but peace has always been fleeting.
At the turn of the century there was substantial domestic resistance to American imperialism in the Philippines. Now, there is similar resistance to American Imperialism in the Middle East. In the early 1900s it was reported that Filipinos attacked American soldiers and Filipino atrocities regularly made big news. Today, we are reminded of the barbarity of the Hussein regime and told we must finish the job in Iraq. In familiar fashion the press keeps the public in the dark .
American interventions on behalf of the United Nation and concurrent attempts at nation building have been disastrous. President George W. Bush, an ardent one worlder, granted verbal assent to the U. N. but by-passed its involvement in the Iraq War, preferring to fight under the banner of a coalition that is almost entirely American. It appears that coercion and American muscle may be the vehicle for future advances in the One World Order.
In spite of all this America is my country. I was raised here and have spent my life here. The nation has been good to me. I have had relative freedom all of my life. I have raised a family and accumulated wealth. I love America and pine for the city on a hill image she had before being overcome by people with another allegiance.
The highjackers do not share a love for America, for them internationalism and the One World Order trumps fidelity to particular nations and opens the door for sedition and treason.
Patriotism is desirable among the common folk as a means of maintaining support for the wars that will eventually enslave them; it is not an allegiance for our rulers.
When Nathan, the Prophet, confronted King David with a simile of his own behavior, King David condemned himself saying “As the Lord lives, surely the man who has done this deserves to die”. When confronted with his sin King David quickly and humbly repented and sought God’s forgiveness.
American leaders and the citizens who support them have been guilty of grievous sins, illegal aggression and wholesale murder on a scale that King David could not have imagined. Confrontation has failed and many Americans rather then humbly repenting like good King David, have exhibited the stiff necked self-righteousness of the Pharisees.
Beware America. God will not be mocked.
