War is a euphemism for theft, funded mass murder based on lies, often involving slaves, known as conscripts. Almost every Democrat and Republican hold 2 contradictory beliefs. 1 If our domestic government violates our freedoms, we must embrace calm disagreement, but never resist.
When officers give you an order, you must obey them lest we get killed like Ashley Babbitt 2. When any foreign politician potentially or hypothetically violates your freedom, you must go to war and advocate the mass murder of civilians. Since the costs of violence are extremely high, often immoral, and outcomes very uncertain, I suggest we take the peaceful route as often as possible regarding warfare. Here are 12 facts the fake news and fake historians have omitted
one. the US government supported al Qaeda in Syria to fight Bashar al-Assad Sea Operation Timber Sycamore 2. The US government sided with al Qaeda in Libya. The Libyan Islamic Fighting Group 2 oppose Moammar Gaddafi 3. the US government fought alongside al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula against the Houthi government in Yemen #4 on September 20th of 2001, President Bush said they hate us
for our freedom and democracy. Yet in Al Qaeda in its Own Words, published by Harvard University Press, bin Laden's grievances consisted of US deadly sanctions on Iraq, US support for Israeli crimes in Palestine and Lebanon, and U.S. military occupation of Saudi Arabia.
This live led to NATO's first ever declaration of war and after 20 years 10s of thousands of civilian and military deaths, the Taliban seized Kabul in 11 days #5 Page 177 of the 1946 Congressional Pearl Harbor investigation sites. Secretary of War Henry Stimson's diary dated November 25th, 1941, saying the president brought up the event that we were likely to be attacked perhaps as soon as next Monday, for the Japanese are notorious for making an attack without warning.
And the question was what we should do. The question was how we should maneuver them into the position of firing the first shot without allowing too much danger to ourselves. Number six in the First World War, First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill said in his book The World Crisis, 1911 to 1918. The British blockade treated the whole of Germany as if it were a beleaguered fortress and avowedly sought to starve the whole population, men, women and children, old and young, wounded
and sound into submission. Not Kaiser Wilhelm, but the German civilian population. And these are the good guys #7 it was Neville Chamberlain who declared war against Germany on September 3rd, 1939, after the National Socialists invaded Danzig, Poland, a town which was roughly 95% German.
And it was Winston Churchill who initiated the terror bombings of civilians in May of 1940. Chamberlain and Churchill's war for Polish independence resulted in 7 million dead Poles and Poland occupied by the Bolshevik regime #8 Former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, in his book Argument without End claims the August 4th, 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident never took place, meaning the Tonkin Gulf Resolution of 1964 and mass murder campaign of Vietnam was based on a lie.
This resolution passed the US Senate 88 votes to two and passed the House 416 votes to 0 #9 Vice President said on Meet the Press. It's been pretty well confirmed that he, Muhammad Atta, did go to Prague and he did meet with a senior official of the Iraqi intelligence service. Fake #10 We're told that we must bear the costs of hundreds of thousands of lives in Ukraine for the benefit of democracy. Yet Zelensky did not hold his March 31st election of this
year. His military bombed NATO ally Poland on November 15th of 2022. He conscripts in slaves men to fight in his war just so he could stay on the throne in Kiev #11 The real aim behind our current Russia policy is the Pentagon's February 1992 Defense Planning Guidance draft stating our first objective is to prevent the re emergence of a
new rival. We must maintain the mechanisms for deterring potential competitors from even aspiring to a larger regional or global role #12 The origins of the Russia Ukraine conflict were explained by President Obama in his book A Promised Land, Reading from page 464. the US decision seven years earlier to pull out of the Anti Ballistic Missile Treaty and it's plans to house missile defense systems on Russia's border continue to be a source of strategic instability.
The admission of former Warsaw Pact countries into NATO during both the Clinton and Bush administrations had steadily encroached on Russia's sphere of influence, while US support for the color revolutions in Georgia, Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan under the specious guise of democracy promotion had turned Russia's once friendly neighbors into governments hostile to Moscow. This is isolationism. Provoking enemies is isolating, not seeking friendship and free
trade. The national security elites in every country since the beginning of time must lie and sensationalize potential foreign threats in order to get their domestic populations to surrender their freedoms and bear the high cost of dying and getting their limbs blown off.
To Secretary of State Blanken and National Security Advisor Sullivan, don't just avoid war because it's the right thing to do. Do it for yourself over expansion and engagement in unnecessary wars brought down Napoleon's French Empire, Czar Nicholas's Russian Empire, Kaiser Wilhelm's German Empire, the Austro Hungarian Habsburg Empire, the Ottoman Empire, Hirohito's Japanese Empire, Hitler's Third Reich, the British Empire, and the Soviet Empire. Those idiots got bogged down in
an unwinnable conflict in Afghanistan. What kind of an empire would do such a thing? With the state having a monopoly on the money supply, the right to take money without consent, taxation, and the right to conscript? Politicians seldom have an incentive to consider obvious peaceful alternatives to war.
Consider the comment by Congressman Seth Moulton of Massachusetts. The US should make it very clear to the Chinese that if you invade Taiwan, we're going to blow up TSMC, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company. Hello Attorney General, if inciting a riot can get someone arrested, what should happen to
politicians who incite war? Instead of war with China over Taiwan, Let's decriminalize all economic activity between consenting adults here and abroad to make sure our economy out competes all other countries. This is the true way to empower Americans. One question we need to ask ourselves to practice basic empathy. When would another country be justified in invading America, killing civilians, bombing cities, blockading ports, and installing a new government?
If the answer is basically never, we should reject moral double standards and have the same principle for other countries. History shows we can talk to our enemies. Eisenhower shook hands with Khrushchev in America in 1959. Kennedy wrote letters to Khrushchev to avoid nuclear exchange over Cuba. Nixon shook hands with Mao in Beijing. Trump shook hands with Kim Jong Un in Singapore.
Roosevelt and Truman had a formal alliance with Joseph Stalin. We can be friends with Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin for the sake of avoiding a nuclear exchange, which would make the crimes of the Third Reich seem minuscule by comparison. My friends on the right, the pro-life pro family position is anti war. When God says thou shalt not murder. There were no exceptions for politicians and soldiers.
My friends on the left, the biggest inequality is when one person takes the life of another unjustly, which in war occurs on a massive scale. Nothing is more exploitative to the average person than watching cities which took centuries to construct be blown to bits while getting conscripted into war. Watching your loved ones get murdered by bombs. My friends in the military. I was asked in grade school if someone told you to jump off a bridge, would you do it?
The point was you are directly responsible for the actions you take. I was told so, or I was just following orders is not a valid excuse for school children or members of the military. We don't have to admire psychopaths. We can admire Cornelius Vanderbilt for lowering the cost of steamship travel from 7 dollars to six cents. The Wright Brothers for giving the gift of flight to the common American. Henry Ford and the Ford Auto Workers for making the automobile accessible to the masses.
Rosa Parks for disobeying unjust laws. Martin Luther King for holding us Americans to the very standards we claim to uphold. Steve Jobs and the Apple employees for giving people access to phones and computers on a scale never imagined. The great crimes of history, slavery, Genghis Khan, genocide, Jim Crow, et cetera, all had one thing in common. They involved some people initiating violence against peaceful people.
Americans must lead the world in rejecting war, recognizing it for what it is. Theft funded mass murder based on lies, often involving slaves known as conscripts. My name is Keith Knight, managing editor at the Libertarian Institute.
