WAR: something to long for!
WHAT IF … you were told that all that you know about history is false? Everything you have learned in school or history books is a fabrication; devised to shelter the citizens of Earth from the truth. Throughout man’s time on Earth, Kingdoms, Empires, and Governments have tried to suppress the facts. They allowed shreds of evidence to leak, in order to confuse the issue. (The Thing/IH-10 @ Exit 322/Arizona)
Imagine having been alive, when born from the ashes of Revolution, a new nation evolved, creating a world altering transition from monarchical rule to ultimately; WE THE PEOPLE. The war’s intent: institute a government of integrity: But the safety of the People of America against dangers from FOREIGN force depends not only on their forbearing to give JUST causes of war to other nations, but also on their placing and continuing themselves in such a situation as not to INVITE hostility or insult; for it need not be observed that there are PRETENDED as well as just causes of war. (Federalist 4)
Forbearing: Ceasing; pausing; withholding from action; exercising patience and indulgence. (noun) A ceasing or restraining from action; patience; long suffering.
Pretended: Held out, as a false appearance; feigned; simulated
Yet throughout American history, deceit became the binding compass, the falsity of America’s government, supposedly superior in integrity of truth than the adversaries it went up against, including the Indian nations. Many of those which strived to hold dominion over what is the United States, having displaced those who’d come before them, even fighting each other to claim or encompass what became the lower forty-eight. But the victor controls the spoils, allowing generations of legislators with the desire for power exemplified in a voracious hunger to interfere in or expand territorial realms world-wide, no matter the cost in life or money.
The southwest region of the States an example where two nations fought for ownership after the fight for Texas’ Independence in 1836, the result being the Mexican-American War. Then the Indian nations, those not recognized by any nation except themselves, forced the region, extending from Texas to California and northward, into a multi-tiered war to call the land theirs. The result; the Plains Indian Wars.
But before the plains war, a Civil War of secession required resolution. The culmination of a framing flaw, inclusive of the Framer’s constitutional desire to originally correct the imperfection, but acquiesced responsibility to rectify the discrepancy and compromised. Although, the war’s result affected more than the compromise, culminating in a power shift, weakening WE THE PEOPLE, and setting in motion a national course change: It is a known fact in human nature, that its affections are commonly weak in proportion to the distance or diffusiveness of the object. Upon the same principle that a man is more attached to his family than to his neighborhood, to his neighborhood than to the community at large, the people of each State would be apt to feel a stronger bias towards their local governments than towards the government of the Union … (Federalist 17)
Citizens today struggle to understand those who fought for the South. But mindsets then desired to protect State’s Rights. The ability to understand that one precept will hopefully allow one to see the why of those who stood and fought against the encroachment of the federal. Afterwards the nation rebuilt while starving the Indian Nations onto reservations through the buffalo’s decimation. The Plains fight to open the land by removing those who claimed it taking too long.
With the Civil War’s tectonic power shift, and corralling of the Indian nations, a power-hungry government was just beginning. Roughly three hundred miles off the Florida coast, “The Gibraltar of America;” Cuba would be a foray into expansionism with the Spanish-American War. The USS Maine, a pretend cause, as America, in her greatness would banish Spain from the Island. The real agenda though, a design to obtain.
Then WW-I, and Zimmerman; Germany’s request for Japan, a non-combatant, to align with Mexico and attack the U.S. from America’s southern border. A hint of future foreshadowed, but at which nations behest? At war’s end in Europe, think Versailles Treaty and the result; Germany no longer able to maintain an Air Force. Yet, through a land-lease with Russia, the nation rebuilt a stronger, more lethal air-arm than the original. Lindbergh, having seen what Germany produced, explained to FDR - America wasn’t ready for war. FDR in his desire for war and autarchy, single-handedly cancelled him, setting the war stage, knowing the New Deal wasn’t working, but either the Atlantic or Pacific would. So, Pearl Harbor, along with Kimmel and Short, the two commanders in charge (Army/Navy), became scapegoats, dragging the nation into WW-II. Two-thousand-four hundred paid with their lives at Pearl. The event, a surprise only to those who fought, all due to sanctions FDR imposed on Japan to attack, the Atlantic not having produced the desired effect. But understand, with Magic and Ultra, D.C knew, while those in the Pacific had no clue.
Toward war’s end, once Germany surrendered, Japan stood alone, starving, destroyed. While one can argue motives, the nation attempted surrender after firebombs over Tokyo killed 100,000 plus. Only, the nation was rebuffed for a purpose: atomic power to prove once proven. Although, not for Japan, but an ally: Russia. A mistake made in Yalta, impossible to correct in Potsdam, making America to date, the only nation to claim its use, even on civilians. Japan, the recipient.
Then Korea, the forgotten war, and Vietnam, an LBJ led deception to get involved, the height of corruption in government against the people, forgetting the nation’s original design, one meant to protect. But of all the wars in the country’s war chest: Yes, Vietnam, a fiasco ultimate, one which everybody should never forget. Pure politics from the beginning to its end, when in January 1968, the Tet offensive erupted both in country and America itself. The war: an ongoing political recipe to rip apart two nations for desires unknown. The spoken deceit, to instill democracy. And aside from an entire foreign people being deceived by America’s government: as well the American military, and the nation’s youth, mainly underprivileged males. Disposable pawns, as once one turned eighteen, and drafted, a cornucopia of human flesh, prepped for destruction in firefights in a country most never knew existed, the entirety of the war, a fallacious lie, agenda displacing intent.
As time and tensions in ‘Nam worsened, on America’s shores, war protests erupted, leading to Kent State in Ohio, when in 1970, four students were gunned down protesting the war by the Ohio National Guard. Things escalated until the war’s culmination in 1975, when our government humiliated the country itself, including the military, while unleashing the power of an enemy it fought to destroy. And the government it supported; left stranded after having promised to supply. American democracy in its finest hour.
What never should have been, what government had no business in, but involved the country in, sacrificing 56,000 plus for a result yet to be known. Vietnam, the nation, now fully communist; democracy the agenda to deceive. Generations later, President Obama, in his desire to sell Vietnam military equipment, proclaimed - The war was a long time ago. A portrayal of America’s penchant to forget, a Biblical prophecy foretold:
There is no remembrance of men of old, and those who are yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow. (Ecclesiastes 1:11)
Today, America, with an unquenchable quest for material wealth, buys non-stop, products made by the very government America sent generations of youth to fight and die. But the country can’t stop. Fifteen years after, the Gulf War, then ten years again, Afghanistan, then Iraq. And after twenty years in Afghanistan, the government repeated the same exodus used in Vietnam. A political loss, a military humiliation. Can anyone reason for those who fought and died? And now Ukraine, making one wonder if war to deceive will ever end. With each ventured result, a country weakened, no longer held in respect, morally bankrupt.
So, in the continued frenzied penchant to project American dominance across the globe, one question should always beg: After promising to protect, why do legislators sacrifice their nation for deceitful personal political gain? … for it need not be observed that there are PRETENDED … causes of war.
