Welcome to Keith's night, don't tread on anyone and be libertarian Institute. This is neoconservatives are the flat earthers of foreign policy. I began with Douglas Murray, the author of neoconservatism. Why we need it. The definition, I like to use relies on people. Firstly, understanding the obvious truth that neoconservatism is not a Caballo or a party, but rather a sense, an instinct a way of looking at the world.
That way of looking at the world is in my definition, a blend of idealism and realism we look at the world as it is, but act in the world to make it as we would like it to be, this makes our instincts different from traditional conservatives who often distrust, social engineering projects, or any form of alteration of a status quo. They perpetually see as being an irreversible, if often quietly enjoyable decline These are not defining characteristics of
neoconservatism. Communists fascists men Arcus Libertarians and conservatives would have no trouble saying that they have goals in mind, and that there are realities, that also must be dealt with as a Libertarian. I hold the ideal that principles of self-ownership and voluntary contracts are worth striving for. I also recognize the reality that many people believe that other people IE the state or the collective own your body. That voluntary contracts are exploitative Marie also leaves
out. The small fact that in pursuit of their alleged goals, neoconservatives often justify slavery in the form of military conscription and murdering civilians, with bombings and blockades section to the unrealistic and the on ideal. To the neoconservative. I asked when if ever would another country be morally justified in bombing British or American citizens and forming blockades around our countries to starve us, has the war on
terrorism. Decreased the number of al-Qaeda members or International terrorists. Since 2001 have countries like Afghanistan Libya Syria, Iraq, Somalia, Pakistan and Yemen been stabilized or democratized. Result of these interventions are America and her allies stronger nations with more International respect. If the National Socialist, a violation of Polish Independence was a crime worthy of Waging War in 1939.
Why was Poland given to Joseph Stalin in 1945, did Britain's 1914, declaration of war on Germany, stabilize Europe. It's as though the neoconservative has never stopped to think about costs downsides or intended consequences of these policies. It turns out that politicians who are commonly seen as self-interested Liars, who will say anything to get elected are also untrustworthy when it comes
to waging Wars next session. 21st century opportunity to lead the world in July of 2021 Ayaan hirsi Ali used her credentials as a former Muslim to debate at Freedom Fest. Miss Ali says the following, they're not saying that they're acting the way that they're asking because bombs are dropped on them. If they were saying, It's because of American foreign policy. It's because of the bomb. Said, I would be the first one
in line to say. Well, it's very easy because we stop bombing they stop attacking us and they stop oppressing their people. But it's much much more complex than that, and it's also much much older than that. That's just not true. Okay, anyone anyone I will give you it's let's let's create anyone. Can together anyone? You don't Qaeda together, anyone can, that's what they're saying this is unequivocally. False, two sources using Bin Laden's onwards will suffice for
now. But if you'd like twenty three examples, see my video response to miss Ali. Here is the first quote from al-Qaeda in its own words, citing bin. Ins text tactical recommendations, then the fighters realized that the gang in the White House, could not see things clearly, and that
their leader that idiot. They obey was claiming that we envied their lifestyle when the truth, which this Pharaoh would like to hide is that we are attacking them because of their Injustice, toward the Muslim world, and especially Palestine, and Iraq, as well as their occupation of the land of the to sanctuaries when the fighter saw. Oh, this, they decided to come out of the shadows, and take the fight into their territory, into their home's.
Second citation, Osama Bin Laden's Declaration of jihad against the Americas occupying, the land of the two, holy sanctuaries, the Americans, the Youth, hold you responsible for all the killings and convictions of Muslims and the violation of the sanctuaries carried out by your Zionist Brothers. In Lebanon you openly supplied them with Arms and finance more than six hundred thousand. Iraqi children have died due to
lack of food and medicine. And as a result of this unjustifiable aggression, sanctions imposed on Iraq. And its people, the children of Iraq are our children. You the u.s. together with the Saudi regime are responsible for the shedding of the blood of these innocent children. Due, to all of that, whatever treaty you have with our country
is null and void. It is a duty now of each tribe in the Arabian, Peninsula to fight Jihad in the cause of God, and to cleanse the land from those occupiers and 1304 aah 1936, the awakened Muslim nation of Palestine. Started their great struggle Jihad against the British occupying forces, terrorizing you while you are carrying arms in our land, it is a legitimate and morally demanded Duty.
End quote, citation can be found in Jihad Bin Laden in his own words, declarations, interviews, and speeches by Brad K burner, published by peacock books 2006 in October of 2001, George W, bush rejected, the talibans, offered a hand Osama Bin, Laden over to America and exchange for evidence of his guilt. The war in Afghanistan could have been avoided instead.
NATO declared Article 5, or For the first time in its history, thousands of civilians were murdered thousands of American soldiers dead or permanently dismembered, thousands with PTSD trillions of dollars wasted. And America was humiliated watching the Taliban sees, Kabul 11 days after the war ended collecting American weapons Left Behind. Even after George W, Bush's State of the Union Address in, which he lied about Nigerian uranium being sold to Saddam
Hussein for the purpose. Mass weapon, manufacturing, neoconservatives, still supported the invasion of Iraq.
Likewise, when vice president Cheney lied, pushing the fabricated Mohamed, Atta meeting with Iraqi intelligence in Prague. And when secretary Rumsfeld lied about weapons of mass destruction, claiming we know where they are there in the area around tikrit and Baghdad and east west south and north some if the wars are so clearly Justified and in our interest, why do politicians Politicians, constantly lie without apology, neoconservatives had the power
and they blew it. They were in fatica lie, wrong about the issue. They chose to put front and center in the 21st century. For all that is, Holy May the often wrong, but never in doubt, neoconservatives, please sit out the discussion on Russia Ukraine and leave it to John. Jay mearsheimer. Patrick J, Buchanan and Ted Galen Carpenter. Thank you for watching Keith Knight don't tread on anyone and the libertarian Institute.
