Conservative
Republicans’ Immutable America
Part II: The Military
By Servando Gonzalez
May 21, 2015
The flag follows the dollar and the soldiers
follow the flag.
—Gen. Smedley Butler, 1933 speech.
In Part I of this series, I mentioned how the conservative
Republicans’ view of the world is focused on immutability.
To them, nothing evolves, nothing changes. Everything remains
the same, forever and ever.
Nothing exemplifies more my point than the view Republicans have
of the U.S. military. According to them, the military is the utmost
example of honor, integrity, patriotism, honesty, truthfulness
and high ethical standards. It is evident that their view of the
military stopped around WWII, when, with a few exceptions, those
were the terms that better described the U.S. military. To most
Americans, the military was bedrock of trust, and they were proud
of them.
Most conservative Republicans still seem to believe that supporting
the troops, whatever their mission is, is being patriotic and
pro-American. That army, however, has almost nothing to do with
the present army.
Currently, however, some knowledgeable people strongly disagree.
According to them, the U.S. military is better described with
the words deception, untruthfulness, untrustworthiness, and dishonesty,
where ethical numbness and lack of honor and integrity have turning
lying, cheating and stealing easier to choose by officers.
Now, before you jump to conclusions, I would like you to know
that those are not my words, and I didn’t take them from
a leftist, liberal, unpatriotic publication whose goal is to discredit
the U.S. military. No. I took them from a paper entitled: “Lying
To Ourselves: Dishonesty in the Army Profession,” by two
scholars and retired Army officers. It was published in an official
U.S. Army publication of the Strategic Studies Institute, of the
U.S. Army War College.[1]
Unfortunately, however, the authors of the study focus their analysis
on low-level dishonesty and deception as the results of a failure
to comply with burgeoning, irrational requirements. Though near
the end of their study the authors mention that “After all,
dishonesty in the Army is not new,” they don’t dig
deep enough into the problem — which goes far beyond low
ethical standards in filing bureaucratic reports, to a point closer
to treason.
The wordings of the current oath of enlisted soldiers and the
oath of commissioned officers are slightly different. While both
swear to support and defend the Constitution of the United States
against all enemies, foreign and domestic, only enlisted men swear
to obey the orders of the President of the United States and the
orders of the officers above them. Commissioned officers, however,
just swear to “take this obligation freely, without any
mental reservation or purpose of evasion,” and that they
“will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office
upon which I am about to enter” — no mention is made
to blindly obeying the orders of the President or the officers
above them.
The distinction is important, because it gives officers the power
to question ethical and moral judgments about the orders they
get, either from the President or from officers above them. Unfortunately,
this is an option that most officers in the U.S. military have
refused to exert.
So, there is something in the oath of officers that doesn’t
work. While the U.S. military has excessively focused on defending
the U.S. against foreign enemies, the fight against the domestic
ones is nonexistent. Why?
Were the Founding Fathers crazy when they mentioned the possibility
of domestic enemies attacking the Constitution? Do Americans have
no domestic enemies who are conspiring in the shadows to destroy
U.S. sovereignty and ban the Constitution? Why has the U.S. military
never tried to protect us from those domestic enemies? Have our
military officers betrayed oath? Well, some of them have.
Three officers who in WWII chose to protect and defend the interests
of our domestic enemies instead or our country were Generals Dwight
Eisenhower,[2] George Marshall[3] and Matthew Ridgway. All of
them were members of the anti-American Council on Foreign Relations,
an organization where oil magnates and Wall Street bankers have
been conspiring for many years to destroy the U.S. sovereignty
and ban the Constitution.
American soldiers in WWII were betrayed by the deliberate refusal
of CFR members Generals Dwight D. Eisenhower and George C. Marshall,
in complicity with President Roosevelt, to allow Gen. Patton to
take Berlin and win World War II at least one full year before
the hostilities ended.[4]
During the Vietnam War, CFR honcho Henry Kissinger repeated again
the betrayal of American fighting men. Today, other CFR members
are sending American boys to die in foreign lands fighting wars
the CFR conspirators don’t want to win.
A powerful reason why most high-ranking officers of the U.S. military
have ignored the threat posed by our domestic enemies is because
fighting them is a career ending choice; as it was in the case
of Gen. McArthur[5] (in some cases, such as Adm. Forrestal, Gen.
Patton, Adm. Bourda and many others, it has been career ending
with “extreme prejudice”), and the goal of most career
officers is nothing but to advance their careers to retire with
maximum pay grade — that’s why they never rock the
boat.
In the study I mentioned above, the authors mention that “Tolerating
a level of dishonesty in areas deemed trivial or unimportant also
results in the degradation of the trust that is vital to the military
profession.” If this is true, it is no less true that tolerating
dishonesty in critical areas and important areas, such as the
betrayal of their oath of commission, results in a total degradation
of the trust that is vital to the military profession.
In their study, officers Wong and Gerras admit that, “After
all, dishonesty in the Army is not new,” and they provide
examples of how it was rampant during the war in Vietnam. They
even quote a captain stating that, “It’s necessary
to lie, cheat, and steal to meet the impossible demands of higher
officers or continue to meet the statistical requirements.”
It seems, however, that the authors ignore the fact that dishonesty
in the U.S. military has much more deeper roots. In the early
1930s, Marine Brigadier General Smedley Butler[6] gave a series
of speeches recognizing that the true goal of the U.S. military
was not to support and defend the Constitution but to support
and protect the interests of American corporations and Wall Street
bankers. The speeches were published in 1935 in book form under
the title War Is a Racket.
According to General Butler, there are only two reasons for war:
"One is the defense of our homes. The other is the defense
of our Bill of Rights and particularly the right to worship God
as we see fit. Every other reason advanced for the murder of young
men is a racket, pure and simple."[7]
Currently, the U.S. Military has become the military branch of
the New Gay World Order globalists. Its main function is not to
protect America, but to protect the pillaging interests of international
bankers who own the World Bank and the International Monetary
Fund, the interests of oil magnates and owners of multinational
corporations. Those are the ones who should thank the US military,
not the American people.

There was a time when, to some extent, there was
some logic for the U.S. military to protect the interest of American
corporations. Today, when most of these corporations don’t
see themselves as American anymore, but as transnationals who
have outsourced American jobs to Third World countries for the
sole purpose of increasing their profits, there is no logical
reason for American taxpayers to pay the U.S. military to protect
them.
It is difficult to explain without using the word treason why
132 high-ranking officers of the U.S. military are members of
the Council on Foreign Relations,[8] an organization whose leaders
have overtly expressed innumerable times their belief that the
U.S. Constitution is outdated and that sovereign nation-states
are obsolete and should be replaced by a world government under
the control of an elite of international bankers, oil magnates
and CEOs of transnational corporations — the New Gay World
Order.
Moreover, key CFR members have openly expressed their hatred for
the U.S. military. According to CFR member Henry Kissinger, military
men are “dumb, stupid animals to be used” as pawns
for foreign policy.[9]
Kissinger is not an isolated case. In a July 1995 article for
Foreign Affairs, the CFR’s organ, CFR member Arthur Schlesinger,
Jr. wrote “We are not going to achieve a New World Order
without paying for it in blood as well as in words and money,”
adding, “In Defense of the World Order ... U.S. soldiers
would have to kill and die.”
Many homes of conservative Republicans have American flags hanging
from the garage tops. If you venture to ask what is the reason
for this, the answer may be something close to this: “To
show our support for our troops in the Middle East and the war
on terror.”
There is, however, something difficult to understand about this
unconditional support for the U.S. military.
On September 11, 2001, our well-funded military failed miserably
to protect us from our enemies, foreign and/or domestic. A few
years later, they failed to protect our country from a veritable
invasion of illegal aliens who, unopposed, crossed our southern
border. Even more important, they have failed to protect us from
the anti-American conspirators at the CFR who want to eliminate
our borders and cancel the very same Constitution our military
men have sworn to preserve and defend.
Frankly, I don’t think that there is much to be thankful
about the present role of the U.S. military. Actually, far from
protecting our borders, our freedoms and our Constitution, their
actions abroad are helping the anti-American globalist conspirators
to impose their communo-fascist, totalitarian New Gay World Order.
Nevertheless, despite the pervasive corruption and treachery at
the highest levels of our armed forces, still most in the military
are men and women of honor who love this country. Still, most
military officers have lacked the courage to fight our domestic
enemies. It seems that our military leaders have been more interested
in protecting and defending their careers than the Constitution.
If we want our military to be truthful and honest, we need to
be truthful and honest ourselves. If we really love our military
we need to be brutally honest and tell them that fighting wars
abroad and risking life and limb to impose the New Gay World Order
upon other peoples does not help in protecting our homes, much
less the Constitution.
Some military officers have complained about low morale in the
U.S. military.[10] Low morale, which negatively affects enrollment
and retention, is the result not only of using the military as
a testing ground for social engineering to impose on them behaviors
and ethics most of them consider against their values.[11] Another
reason is because military men and women feel that they are at
war but the country is not. The main reason why the country is
not at war is because most Americans have reached the conclusion
that the present War on Terror is not a war to protect America,
but just a pretext used by multinational bankers and corporations
to impose their New Gay World Order upon the peoples of the world.[12]
Thanks to the internet and other non-controlled sources, many
soldiers have become aware that the same fascist and communist
ideologies their grandfathers fought in Italy, Germany and Japan
and their fathers in Vietnam, are now being implemented in America
under the disguise of the communo-fascist New Gay World Order.
That’s the reason why the globalist conspirators fear the
military, particularly vets.[13]
Testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on February
7, 1950, CFR member Paul Warburg, son of CFR founder James Warburg,
prophesied: “We shall have world government whether or not
you like it or not. The only question is whether World Government
will be achieved by conquest or consent.”
Very soon there will be a point when or military will have to
make an important decision. When the chips are down and the CFR
conspirators decide to take the final step to impose their New
Gay World Order upon us by conquest, and everything indicates
that it will be very soon, the members of our military will have
to make a choice: either with the American people or with America’s
enemies.
Edmund Burke said that all that is necessary for the triumph of
evil is that good men do nothing. I hope that the good men in
our military will stand up and do not allow evil to triumph. I
hope that they will not betray their oath by standing by and doing
nothing. I sincerely hope their choice will be the right one.

2. See Robert Welch, The Politician (Privately printed
edition, 1963), pp. 7-11. Welch’s is the best, and only,
study of how the CFR conspirators recruited an unknown and ambitious
young Army officer named Dwight Eisenhower and pushed his military
career from an unknown lieutenant colonel in 1940 to a full general
in early 1943, until making him in less than four years the Supreme
Commander of the U.S. armed forces and later the president of
the United States
3. For a detailed account of Gen. Marshall’s treachery,
see, Joseph McCarthy, America’s Retreat From Victory:
The Story of George Catlett Marshall (Boston: Western Islands,
1965).
4. Eisenhower’s orders prevented Gen. Patton from closing
the so-called Falaise Gap in the autumn of 1944, allowing hundreds
of thousands of German troops to escape and return to fight again.
This led to the deaths of thousands of Americans during their
winter counter-offensive that became known as the Battle of the
Bulge. Of the close to a million casualties the Allied forces
suffered in Europe, almost three-quarters happened after Patton’s
Third Army was stopped in its tracks.
5. Perhaps based on George Orwell’s known dictum that who
controls the past controls the future, the CFR conspirators devote
an inordinate amount of time and effort rewriting history. An
example is a recent article by David Halberstam, “Command
Performance,” Smithsonian, November 2007, whose
sole aim is to denigrate General MacArthur and glorify CFR’s
secret agent Matthew Ridgway.
6. Butler joined the Marine Corps when the Spanish American War
broke out. During his 34 years of Marine Corps service, Butler
was awarded two Congressional Medals of Honor, the first one for
the capture of Veracruz, Mexico in 1914, and the second one for
the capture of Ft. Riviere, Haiti in 1917. In addition, he was
awarded numerous medals for heroism including the Marine Corps
Brevet Medal (the highest Marine medal at its time for officers)
He was one of only 19 people to be twice awarded the Congressional
Medal of Honor.

10. I seems that more and more military men and women do not like
the new trends in the U.S. military. See, i.e., Jacqueline Klimas,
“U.S. military ‘hostile’ to Christians under
Obama; morale, retention devastated,” The Washington
Times, April 15, 2015, http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/apr/15/us-military-losing-christians-because-of-hostile-c/?page=all.

Purged From The U.S. Military,” InfoWars.com, April

11. Following orders from his CFR masters, Obama has carried out
the biggest military purge in U.S. history. Close to 300 top U.S.
flag officers and military leaders who opposed the gayfication
of the U.S. military, the anti-Christian military policies, and
the CFR conspirators’ plan to use the U.S. military against
the Americans people in a coming period of martial law, and their
war plans against Russia for opposing the New Gay World Order.
12. Thanks mostly to the alternative media, most active and retired
military men and women have become fully aware that the U.S. wars
against Iraq and Afghanistan, the destabilization and overthrow
of Saddam Hussein, the sponsoring of the Arab Spring, the overthrow
of the pro-U.S. Mubarack in Egypt, the overthrowing of Khadafy
in Libya, the efforts to overthrow Assad in Syria, and the overthrow
of the democratically elected government in the Ukraine, have
nothing to do with righting terrorism but with the implementation
by the force of arms of the CFR conspirators’ New Gay World
Order.
