To Preserve…
One could observe similar after the 7 October 2001 undeclared 8 plus year US Afghanistan War, Operation Enduring Freedom, the simultaneous seven and a half years combined undeclared wars in Iraq known as Operation Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom, the Panama Operation Just Cause, the 15-plus year Vietnam Second Indochina War, and the three year Western vs Sino Soviet war in Korea, which has still not declared the peace.

33 years of undeclared wars in the last sixty years well exceed the Nine-year War in Afghanistan that sank the Soviet Union, even if we add in Africa, Cuba and Central America.

The history of war shows that it is often associated with despotic tyrants.
One might be forgiven for inferring the USA, which has not had a foreign war on its own soil since the War of 1812, (the possible exception being the two year Mexican-American War a year after President Tyler annexed Texas as a State in 1845 sans treaty with Mexico), repeatedly disturbs the peace at the expense of its citizens.
What do courts and history do with repeat offenders?
But the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ‘You have shed much blood and have waged great wars; you shall not build a house to my name, because you have shed so much blood in my sight on the earth. 9See, a son shall be born to you; he shall be a man of peace.
I Chronicles 22:8-9 New Revised Standard Version of the Bible

Holy Smokes Rich….
Now that was a handful.
This article should be published in the NY Times.
Certainly we are seeing a ground swell in this country stirred by an irate citizenry.
Perhaps it is not to late to take our country back.
God have Mercy.
Keep up the good work Rich, you are a true Patriot.
Thank you. Richard

Mahalo Richard:
Henry Paulson acknowledged 93% of Americans opposed TARP and he did it anyway, bailing out himself and his firm Goldman Sachs with Ben Bernanke and Timothy Geithner’s help.
No wonder the majority of Americans want a full Audit of the Fed and Treasury, including the Mints and Bullion Vaults.
If we:
A) turn off government monopoly media making heroes out of bums,
B) share the truth which sets us free,
C) help family friends and neighbors vote for Patriotic Constitutional Independents who truly serve US this Fall,
then we may in fact take our country back from bonus banksters and their government corporate welfare pimps.
The alternative is watching the Jericho Wall of debt crush our country and lives like Financial Armageddon.
Uncle Sam owes more than we own. That cannot last much longer.
We must pay down or forgive our debts with a spending freeze on deficits and earmarks and the 1% Transaction Tax on a quadrillion in voluntary transactions.
Andrew Jackson paid off the public debt in 1835. So can we…

Rich,
Like the website and all, but a reader needs to click 22 separate times simply to read the content of this entry. Perhaps a different format would be better?
Cheers.
