Our Troops do NOT Protect Our Freedom and We Should Stop Thanking Them for Doing So

SUNDAY, 07 AUGUST 2011 16:11    JESSE RICHARD
 
Let's make one thing crystal clear, no member of the US military contributes in any way whatsoever to protecting the freedoms of the American people. As a matter of fact, they are more likely to turn their weapons on you than they are to defend your Constitutional rights.

The only people on this planet Earth who can affect your freedom are members of Congress, local legislators and the members of enforcement institutions who will blindly follow the rulers who sign their paychecks. And, while your beloved troops are murdering people around the globe, yes, I said murdering, your Congress and local legislators are eliminating your freedoms, en masse, without any intervention by our so-called protectors in the armed forces.

There is no honor in volunteering to go anywhere in the world and kill anybody you are told to, without question, without historical background and without verifying the stated reasons for doing so. In this modern age of information we now know that time and time again our military have been deployed into battle, to kill and be killed, for reasons that in no way shape or form resemble the reasons for which they, or we were told at the time. This is no secret, although many Americans refuse to take off the flag that is wrapped around their eyes and see American history as it really happened.  They blindly believe what was told to them by the people who have a vested interest in maintaining myths and misconceptions.

The US military, not once but twice, committed the single largest mass murders in history by dropping nuclear weapons on civilian populations, including of course, on women and children.  Say what you want about how it helped end the war....the bottom line is the US could have exploded these devices over uninhabited territory with the same effect of scaring the heck out of the Japanese. But they followed orders that were lies and murdered almost 300,000 people, without question. As a human being I find it hard to honor such “patriotism.”

From the Gulf of Tonkin to the first and second invasions of Iraq, history now teaches us that lies have led our troops to military intervention more often than not. As a matter of fact, it is hard to find an American military intervention in modern history in which the cover story ends up matching the actual events. A little research will show you this. It will also show you how the same people are usually behind funding both sides of military conflict and those doing the funding and instigating have almost always been, how should I say this, the 'good guys.' Yep, westerners on the popular side of conflict are the onese funding the 'bad guys' before they ever are labeled the bad guys.
Prescott Bush, the father and grandfather of George H.W. and George W. respectively, made his fortune by funding the nαzιs and Hitler's rise to power. This is the same clan who went after Saddam Hussein in Iraq after they put him in power and armed him in the first place. But why pay attention to details if it interferes with our troop worship and flag waving?

Time and time again we see that the people who make decisions to send troops to war are the very people who profit financially from such wars. Today's troops can see this. It is part of the public record,  yet they still do not question their missions. They join the military with a promise never to question orders. Taking history into account, I see no pride in this kind of service.

Recent history provides a very clear lesson for our troops and those who cheer their missions. You have never seen a more clear and egregious example of questionable motivations for military intervention than during the Bush/Cheney administration. A virtual 'who's who' of defense contractors comprised not only the Defense Policy Board, but the office of Vice President. Not to mention that a significant portion of these men signed a docuмent noting that that a 'new Peal Harbor' would be useful in getting public support for their agenda (to increase military spending and activity), and then - just such an attack -  the first Pearl Harbor in 60 years took place on 9/11...what a nice coincidence.

Gee, what are the odds of the only 'Pearl Harbor' in 60 years taking place while the men responsible for preventing one (and in positions to create/allow one) were the same men who wrote about benefiting from one. But according to most Americans, it is crazy to suspect them of anything...simply because they are Americans. If  Dick Cheney had been a Muslim he would have been hanged 9 years ago.

Unfortunately, the majority of Americans have neither the intellectual curiosity to actually learn about historical events nor the intelligence to actually think about claims made by their leaders or pop-journalism-gate keeping-icons.

For example: Americans have swallowed whole the concept of our troops “protecting our freedom” without ever once asking “how, how does killing foreigners in Iraq or Afghanistan protect our freedom?” Maybe if they asked that question just once and really waited for an answer, a real answer that actually really made sense to them, they would realize there is no answer  - because troops killing foreigners have no impact on the freedoms of the American people, and they never will.

Here is another question Americans have not asked, “How can an Iraqi, Pakistani, Afghan or Islamic fundamentalist in other nations take away our freedom?” The answer to this question is of course...by becoming a member of the US Congress.

It is sad that I will be lambasted for speaking the truth about this sensitive subject, but someone has to. The saddest truth however, is that the members of the US military serve today with no honor. They are dangerous and a threat to all free people, here and abroad. In plain terms -  they volunteer to kill at the behest of people who have lied to them for generations about why they are being sent to kill. Generations of lies be dammed, they still follow orders, and kill, without question. I repeat - as a human being I see no honor in this.

While it is true that the existence of our military acts to deter nations from invading our shores, credit really should go more to our nuclear arsenal and military technology than to National Guardsman who find themselves shooting at Iraqis in their own homeland. I don't think that it is a deterrent to have private American “security firms” torture, for fun, the “enemies” who are in their own country, in their own neighborhoods, near their own families, and who dare to fight the American military personnel who obliterated their homes, killed their brothers, sisters, children, mothers and fathers, and occupy their soil. The nerve of them!

In the meantime, your freedoms and protections are being systematically eliminated while government protected rights for corporations are expanding beyond your wildest dreams. If this nation had a legitimate mainstream news media you would know this and you would probably take to the streets and revolt because you would realize what some of us already know, your rights, health and wealth have been under assault while you are distracted by bogey men in foreign nations who are supposedly going to take your freedom away!!!

So how free are you and who exactly are the terrorists.  Here is how free you are in your own home in your own country. These are just a few examples - off the top of my head. - there are more...but to start...

You are not allowed to drink raw milk, no matter how healthy it is, because under certain rare conditions may cause health issues), but you do have the right to smoke chemically addicting cigarettes that when used as directed WILL KILL YOU!

You don't have the right to stop your food supply from being contaminated and genetically manipulated, leaving you with no alternative.

You don't have the right to collect rain water or grow your own vegetables to feed your family.

You have no right to stop corporations from poisoning your air and water.

You have no right to treat your ailments naturally because your government has declared that the only way to become healthy is by medications and treatments that will produce big profits for corporations. Healthy food can not benefit your health and if it does the FDA will classify it as a drug.

You have no right to raise your child without injecting toxins and dangerous chemicals directly into their blood streams.

During the Bush/Cheney administration you had no right to free speech. Special zones called “free speech” zones were created and kept far from Bush and Cheney where those who wanted to speak as free Americans could gather.

You are not free to exchange goods and services on your own terms. You must use Federal Reserve Notes, which is NOT U.S. CURRENCY. It is a system of money created and maintained, unconstitutionally, by a cadre of private banks.

You are not free to feed homeless people and if you are homeless you are not free to be fed by your fellow citizens.

We are not free to know about or have any say about secret activities in which our rulers partake. For example what terrible weapons they create, what biological or chemical programs that may accidentally or purposely destroy us all, how they set up and instigate wars and conflict as well as events that justify actions for which they want to take but have no legitimate justifications.

America is not yet a totalitarian dictatorship, but it is clearly on the way to becoming one. And our beloved troops are doing nothing at all to stop this. What is worse is that some day they may actually be the ones to stop you from doing anything about it. They are already practicing to do so.

So if you want to thank people for protecting your freedom...thank journalists...real ones, not establishment hacks, who try to inform you about what is taking place while you are distracted by nonsense.  Thank civil liberty lawyers and staff who don't use their education to make it rich charging criminally high fees for their services. Thank whistle blowers. Thank people who risk a backlash of threats and worse to finally speak the truth to people who simply don't want to know there is a truth beyond the myths that have comforted them throughout their lives. And while you do this I'll thank you for at least listening to these uncomfortable words. Reality is not pretty, but if we all open our eyes to reality maybe we can stop those who make it so ugly.

I don't know about you, but I want to be proud of my country for real reasons, not mythical ones.

Think about it. Jesse Richard – Founder, TvNewsLIES.org

How are your actions connected, directly or indirectly, to his ability to say/write this?  Who is threatening to suppress such comments?  The Moslems?  OBL?

Who ventilated one of your fellow soldiers in Arizona, firing 71 rounds into his home, wherein his wife and four-year-old child were also present, delaying medical aid for over an hour while he bled to death in front of his wife?  Moslems?

Whatever you are "protecting", it isn't what they tell you in the brochures or boot camp.

While many take it for granted that there is, in fact, some connection, between military service and the protection of freedom, no one ever explains it (or even tries).  This is a 1984-esque Police State and the US/Israel-directed war machine is THE instrument of terror throughout the entire world.

US soldiers, whether they grasp it or not, are brainwashed, kewl-aid-guzzling cannon fodder, sacrificed for the implementation of the Banksters agenda.  To pretend, in the face of perpetual lies and mass murder, that there is something noble about it is patently absurd.

If you were walking down the street and you knew that around one corner were five huge guys who would beat the crap out of you and probable kill you if you went down that street you would avoid that street. That is what a strong military does. Let our defenses down and you can be sure we will be under attack.  God bless all of you idiots and again, no thanks necessary, I will still protect you.  

I love our soldiers, and many traditional Catholics do as well.

At the Mount (CMRI)  we are not afraid to pray for our military, and Father Casimir requests this every Tue. night at holy hour.  "Pray for our Military", he says.

I was thanking a soldier just the other day who I met at Costco.  I believe most of them all have the proper intention, there are some who might be pure evil men, just as we have everywhere, in any organization.  

I believe the Army is controlled by the Freemasons, and I hate that.  The whole world it seems is controlled by the Masons, but we can't jump off the world now can we.  

In fact, I was just thinking today, about this very fact, in the Bible it says something like this:  Those who do not take the mark of the beast will not be able to buy or sell, or only those who take the mark will be able to buy or sell.  Don't have time right now to see exactly what it says, but what I am trying to say is this.  It seems that no matter what you do today, you have a hard time getting ahead unless you are a Mason, even in the Military.  They promote the Masons first.  The Masons get the best jobs, and promotions everywhere in the world, they recognize each other, by their handshake, buzz words,  etc. etc.  

While Protestants wait for a chip to be the mark of the beast, I think many of them already have taken the mark, the mark of the MASONS.

This however, has nothing to do with the pure intention of a soldier in the United States Military.  

As far as brainwashing goes, many here are brainwashed as well.  

Who said anything about loving or not loving them?  Uh, that would be no one.

Fr. Casimir also has (or had as late as Sept. 2008) public ceremonies commemorating the "terrorist attacks" of 9/11/01 -- and the school kids get indoctrinated by such mindless horse-pucky.  I almost vomited when I heard what utterly-worthless drivel he said at that pathetic ceremony.

Intentions are ONE thing, Myrna.  Objective reality is another.  The US military is a tool of the Banksters.  This is cold, hard reality and it is easily proved.  Frankly, the fact that men with good intentions continue to do the dirty work of evil men is a worse arrangement than if the sides and agendas were more clearly and perfectly delineated.

Lastly, the existence of brainwashing elsewhere neither excuses nor has anything to do with the fact that the US military brainwashes ALL who sign up.

Killing people in a foreign country is protecting you.
Using billions of dollars (which don't exist anyways, I know) is protecting you.
Forcing the bankster's agenda's is protecting you.
Not protecting you from the true attack at home by the Jєωs is protecting you.

You see?

I wouldn't attend a Church who felt as some of you do about soldiers who would give their life for another.  Maybe you should look up the word "intention" before you judge the entire Military.  

Look up "coward" to while your at it.  

Russian soldiers gave up their life for one another.... does that make them noble now?

Myrna- I'm sorry, but I think you're confusing the points. I don't think that these young men joining the military now (or those already in it) are morally evil. I think they're just naive.

Did you bother to read the article Gladius originally posted? What do you contend with in it?

Maybe you should look up the word "intention" before you judge the entire Military.

Maybe you should learn to distinguish between the US military spoken of as a group and the intentions of good-willed individuals.  

Look up "coward" to while your at it.  

If you think I am a coward or that it is courageous to serve the Banksters' agenda, there is nothing I can do to pierce the darkness of your mind.  What is cowardly, however, is implementing an agenda that MANY of them know, in their heart of hearts, is wrong.  You are attached to this issue because some of your loved ones are in the military.  While they are likely of good will, the US/Israeli military-industrial complex is NOT -- and it is this godless war machine that they serve, not "freedom", "democracy", or some other hollow, useless buzzword meant to incite patriotic fervor among the mindless, spineless masses.
