Radio Show Hour 2 – 06/24/2024

* Guest: Lowell Nelson – CampaignForLiberty.org, RonPaulInstitute.org

* Anti-Liberty Conservatives Want More Theft – Ron Paul.

* Paul Mentions a think tank called “American Compass,” which wants Republicans to support tax increases. They believe that a bi-partisan agreement to increase taxes, together with an agreement to cut spending, will enable the government to cut its $35 trillion deficit.

* Dr. Ron Paul then discusses the “inflation tax,” a hidden tax of the Federal Reserve System. He writes, “This tax will keep increasing as long as the government’s reckless spending forces the Fed to monetize ever higher levels of government debt. Anti-tax conservatives and all who value individual liberty and peace should join the movement to audit and then end the Federal Reserve.”

He then pleads with Congress to cut warfare spending, which only enriches the military-industrial complex. “Congress should then shut down all unnecessary federal agencies including the NSA, TSA, FBI, DEA, CIA, and Department of Education.

* Ron Paul: “The money saved from these cuts should be used to protect those dependent on federal welfare and entitlement programs as those programs are phased out. Responsibility for providing aid can then be transferred back to private charities, churches, and community-based organizations.”

“Government deficits are a symptom of the abandonment of the moral truths of individual rights and limited government for the immoral lies of the welfare-warfare state and the fiat money system that underlies it…. [We should seek] to restore the understanding that the prohibition against force and fraud applies to government as well as private individuals. If you cannot use force or fraud against your neighbor to provide for yourself, your family and friends, or the Ukraine army, then neither can the government. The prohibition against fraud also applies to the legalized counterfeiting undertaken by central banking.”

* What If It’s Dangerous to Be Right When the Government Is Wrong? – Judge Andrew Napolitano.

* Tucker Carlson’s Interview with Nayib Bukele, President of El Salvador – TCN.

Bukele: “If you win the spiritual war, then you will win the physical war.”

* The US Is Preparing For WWIII While Expanding Draft Registration – Caitlin Johnstone, LewRockwell.com

NATO powers are rapidly escalating toward hot war with Russia at the same time the US is expanding its draft policies to make it easier to force more Americans to go and fight in a giant war.

* Fredric Bastiat Was a Radical Opponent of War and Militarism – Ryan McMaken, LewRockwell.com

* We should promote and support a policy of non-interventionism!

[00:00:12] Broadcasting Live from a top-of-the-roki mountains, the crossroads of the West. Ask you are listening to the Liberty Roundtable Radio Talk Show. Alright, happy to have you along my fellow Americans, Sam Bushman live on your radio. Hard hitting news that Edwards refused to use no doubt continues now.

[00:00:34] This is the broadcast for June 24th in the year of our Lord 2000 and 24th. This is our two of two in the goal always to protect life-limited property, to promote God-family and country that is on your radio in the traditions of our founders.

[00:00:48] As you know, we reject revolution, the less it's the Jesus Revolution, then we're in because we follow the Prince of Peace. We actually use the Supreme Law of the Land, the Constitution, to the United States of America as our guide.

[00:01:00] Low Nelson with me now campaign for Liberty.org always doing a phenomenal job. Welcome to the broadcast, sir. Having me, Sam, it's good to be with you. We've got so much to cover so little time really quick though. The Supreme Court has six huge cases before them.

[00:01:16] They normally end by the end of June. I don't know if they're going to make it this time, but man, some of these cases are critical. And we're going to keep an eye on that ball. Any quick coming on any of those?

[00:01:27] Not at the moment, Sam, except to note that this country is formed by states who form the general government and any attempt by the Supreme Court to rule over and basically tell states what to do would be antithetical to the Constitution.

[00:01:49] If that's, I'm not familiar with all six cases, but in too many cases nowadays, everybody bows to the Supreme Court and says they get the last word on everything, but that's simply not true, Sam.

[00:02:04] There you have it. It's very critical, ladies and gentlemen. My big response right now is that you pray for the Supreme Court as to make some of these decisions that they will basically take the view of the founding fathers and realize there are

[00:02:16] checks and balances and the courts need to be very careful. Also the debates are coming up, ladies and gentlemen, Donald and Joe are going to debate on Thursday out and they're going to be

[00:02:25] a fair fight at all. Nevertheless, time will tell what's going to happen. I would not have agreed to those rules. I think we've gone from the frying pan into the fire when it comes to the debates. Nevertheless,

[00:02:34] we've got to really work on this. Speaking of that, Ron Paul wrote an incredible column, antitlyroody conservatives want more theft. And it first to go what? Antitlyroody conservatives are there such thing? Boy, how do you are there, Loll? Yeah, and way too many of them at that.

[00:02:54] You know in his column a week or two ago he made several very interesting observations and he mentioned a think tank named American Compass. Now when you hear the name you think well, that's pretty good name must be a pretty good group but this group, this think tank,

[00:03:12] they want Republicans to support tax increases. They believe that a bipartisan agreement to increase taxes coupled with an agreement to cut spending will enable the government to cut into this $35 trillion deficit. Well, the think tank is right about one thing, cutting spending

[00:03:33] would help to reduce the deficit but there's certainly wrong dead wrong about the other thing. Congress is not about to cut spending, although Congress may agree to cut the amount of the increases in spending. She runs Paul sites the deal President Reagan made with congressional

[00:03:51] Democrats quote, to cut spending by $3 for every dollar intact increases into quote. Well, as we all know, Congress authorized the higher taxes but they ignored its promise to cut spending and that's the deficit God worse. But here Dr. Paul makes an observation very much worth

[00:04:10] repeating quote, the only cuts most members of Congress will agree to do are reductions in a projected growth of future spending. You know, words if they they spent $100 this year and they budget to spend $110 next year Congress would never agree to spend only $95

[00:04:33] dollars next year. That would be a real cut and that would be a real cut in actual dollars. They they might agree to a 50% cut in the increase, meaning the $10 increase that would be

[00:04:48] you know, it let's only spend $5 to that 10 and that would be a 50% cut in the increase that they might agree to spend only a $105 next year after agreeing to a 50% cut in the increase.

[00:05:02] But that cut amounts to an increase in spending and that is the rub. We hear them all the time talking about the cuts to the budget. They're not actually talking they're not talking about actual cuts

[00:05:16] to the budget, they're talking about cuts to the increase to the budget amount. And so whenever you hear them talk about cutting spending ask them what they really mean. We need to hold them

[00:05:29] accountable. So do they mean that they're going to spend fewer dollars next year or do they mean that they'll spend fewer than the budget to dollars next year? So that's a first big important point.

[00:05:42] We need to get in the habit of pinning down members of Congress is to what they mean when they talk about tax cut because most of them are just lying through their teeth or talking about cuts

[00:05:54] in the increases not actual cuts. Not cuts like you and I would think cuts. Now the other thing where American compasses out in the weeds in my opinion low is this they want you to believe

[00:06:04] if you increase taxes that's going to help. And logically at first you go hey if we decrease spending and increase the money government has then we can read just down the debt faster. This is awesome.

[00:06:14] I you know at first glance you say you agree my response is whenever you raise taxes what it does it shrinks the pie meaning the economic pie. Whenever you lower taxes it grows the economic pie.

[00:06:25] I think we need to reduce taxes and reduce spending therefore there will be a much bigger pie which means government dollars even though it's less percentage in tax government dollars will be more

[00:06:36] because there's a bigger pie and that's the way to do it cut them both and do it drastically and do it now. I agree Sam and Reagan did that very thing by the way. It's he's purportative done that

[00:06:50] very thing by reducing tax rates there's more taxes that came into the treasury because of various reasons so yeah there's a lot to that. Dr Paul then discusses the inflation tax which is a

[00:07:10] hidden tax of the federal reserve system. He writes this quote this tax will keep increasing as long as the government's reckless spending forces the Fed to monetize ever higher levels of government debt anti tax conservatives and all who value individual liberty and peace should

[00:07:31] join the movement to audit and then end the federal reserve and a quote. Dr Paul then please with Congress to cut warfare spending which only enriches the military industrial complex. quote Congress should then shut down all unnecessary federal agencies including the NSA, TSA, FBI,

[00:07:51] D.E.A.C.I.A. and Department of Education the money saved from these cuts should be used to protect those dependent on what a federal welfare and entitlement programs as those programs are phased out. Responsibility for providing aid can then be transferred back to private churches,

[00:08:10] charities and community-based organizations. Private locally controlled organizations can more efficiently and compassionately provide care to the needy than can a large government bureaucracy and a quote. In other words Ron Paul is suggesting that we first cut the warfare spending then use that money to

[00:08:31] tie it over those who are dependent on entitlement programs while those entitlement programs are phased out. I agree this is a good plan. Now his concluding paragraph is also worth repeating quote government deficits are a symptom of the abandonment of the moral truths of individual rights and

[00:08:53] limited government for the immoral lies of the welfare state and the fiat money system that underlies it. We should seek to restore the understanding that the prohibition against force and fraud applies to government as well as private individuals. If you cannot use force or fraud against your

[00:09:15] neighbor to provide for yourself your family and friends or the Ukraine army, then neither can the government. The prohibition against fraud also applies to the legalized counterfitting undertaken by central banking and a quote. Well Sam is usual Ron Paul has the right answers

[00:09:37] and those answers are aligned with the constitution that's how we know they're the right answers because they're aligned with the constitution that sacred compact formed by and agreed to by the 13 sovereign states and we would do well to give heed to his sage council Sam.

[00:10:00] Amen to that you know what he really has to say here and what I like about it is he points out the problem this this idea of this institute or this thing tank you know and their wrong headed answers

[00:10:10] I mean I appreciate that there ideas sound logical at first but you got to dig in a little bit and you got to look at history to understand but then what I love about Ron Paul is he always brings up

[00:10:20] a problem but he never leaves you hanging when it comes to solutions okay he doesn't just bring up problems and complain of wine and he's really a lot like liberty round table live we don't like that

[00:10:31] go ahead and skip the break he doesn't do that he basically says look here's the problem and here's what we need to do to solve it we need to understand fundamental moral principles

[00:10:43] in other words ethical principles here if you can't take money from me or I can't take money from you to fund my life to fund my whatever extension in the government the government doesn't have

[00:10:54] the authority either so understanding that principle and then saying look let's go ahead and decrease taxes let's go ahead and decrease spending let's go ahead and get rid of the federal reserve they don't

[00:11:03] on the right to steal with hidden inflation they don't have the right to okay now when you highlight this you really bang on all cylinders when it comes to moving towards point in the needle towards

[00:11:16] we're going to talk about a group called compass let's point the compass true north and say let's do the things that are really bring government back to the proper of limited constitutional government and this column really lays out not only the problem but the solution

[00:11:31] he does he talks about the moral foundation for the decisions he makes he also talks about the constitutional foundations for the decisions he makes and this was his pattern in Congress he would always ask himself is it morally right you know and there's a constitutionally right

[00:11:52] do we have the money to do it if it is right I mean and and almost always he could never answer those questions affirmatively you know is a morally right or is it constitutionally right and if you can't answer those two questions and the affirmative then

[00:12:08] government has no business at all doing what the bill or the resolution or whatever you know purports to do and so these new candidates who are running for Congress you know whether

[00:12:21] it's might Kennedy here in the state of Utah or Kobe Jenkins in the state of Utah Paul Miller here in the state of Utah who are running against incumbents right I mean that's a lesson that

[00:12:35] these younger house to call him younger candidates reading need to learn there's a moral basis for the decisions that Ron Paul made while he was in Congress and if they want an exemplar

[00:12:50] someone who's example they can follow well in Congress someone who is there now it would be in my opinion Thomas Massey of Kentucky he is probably the closest thing to Ron Paul or at least one

[00:13:02] of the closest members in the U.S. House closest to the decision making process of Ron Paul and so that's who I would point them to and say look if you're on the if you're on if you're with Thomas

[00:13:18] Massey then you're probably going to make this decision the right way this time Sam. Amen to that couldn't agree more one of the heroes one of the leaders and you know whether it's

[00:13:29] Ron Paul or Thomas Massey there's very few but they're sound in their judgment and they do a great great great job another sound person in their judgment is a guy who says the way one of the

[00:13:39] greatest ways to teach is just to ask a bunch of questions and you know what I agree with that as long as when you ask the bunch of questions you make sure people understand the right answers he does

[00:13:48] both low we're talking about Judge Andrew and Apollo Tano who's called him last week posted at the wrongpoll Institute.org reminds me actually I have a speech that Ron Paul gave in Congress where

[00:14:04] all he did was ask questions and maybe he did this more than once but I have a copy his speech where his whole speech was simply asking these important to vibrant questions the questioning

[00:14:19] they the direction the US was heading well Judge Andrew and Apollo Tano does the very same thing there's not a single declarative statement in the whole column that he wrote just questions simple

[00:14:34] questions and I'm not going to ask every single one of them I did but I do want to repeat a few of them quote what if government fails to safeguard our lives liberties and property from its own agents

[00:14:48] what if the NSA the government 60,000 person domestic spying apparatus has convinced Congress that it needs to cut constitutional corners to spy on every person in America what if the NSA has convinced

[00:15:05] every president since George W. Bush that it needs to spy on everyone in America to keep us safe no matter what the Constitution says what if NSA spying is really done without warrants what if this spying captures in real time every keystroke on every computer and handheld device

[00:15:28] as well as the content of every email text message telephone call and fiber optic cable transmission in the United States 24 by 7 what if NSA computers have direct and unimpeded access to all mainframe computers of all telecoms and computer service providers in the United

[00:15:52] States what if the acquisition of all this data is known in the intelligence community as bulk surveillance end of quote now these are really good questions right I mean but but to help not get too

[00:16:08] depressed about our awful situation judge and app throws in some questions that are intended I believe to give us hope and so he has sort of like these black questions and then these white questions or

[00:16:23] he has you know salt and pepper questions he asked a bunch of assaulting questions and then some pepper questions and and so every now and then he'll throw in a paragraph of two of these questions

[00:16:34] that that should give us hope for example he writes this quote what if the Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land what if the Constitution with its requirement of warrants based on probable cause of crime and specifically identifying targets express the prohibits bulk surveillance

[00:16:57] what if bulk surveillance is not only unconstitutional but also useless because it provides I'm sorry it produces information overload too much data to sift through in a timely manner and of quote

[00:17:15] and so notice how judge nap is is teaching us what is really going on while asking these questions and he's so not only is he teaching us what is really going on with this bulk surveillance by the

[00:17:28] NSA but he's also reminding us of the contrast between the Constitution and what is really going on and Sam this is why I pray every day that good men and women will stand up for truth and righteousness

[00:17:42] at every level of government whether it's national whether it's state or county or municipal neighborhood or familial right the need has never been greater Sam for good men and women to stand up for truth and righteousness at every level of government the most important level of

[00:18:05] government being self government I might add and now some some more sobering questions he writes this quote what if the government is a failure at preserving liberty but a champion at stealing

[00:18:20] what if bulk surveillance is about power and control and not about safety what if the NSA has selectively leaked what it knows about some folks for political purposes what if governments

[00:18:35] bulk acquisition of private data makes us less free and of quote and then time for some more hope he writes some helpful questions now quote what if the genius of the Constitution is followed is not only its protection of privacy but also its requirement that the government can

[00:18:59] find its searches and seizures to persons whom it has reason to suspect are engaged in criminal activity and about whom judges have ratified the government's evidence to support those suspicions what if the Constitution requires the government to leave the rest of us alone and of quote

[00:19:23] so folks do you find some hope there I certainly hope so I mean I do the the Constitution truly is a parchment barrier merely a parchment barrier if we citizens do nothing to see that it is enforced

[00:19:40] and this brings us to judgenaps last question quote what do we do about it end of quote see that question is for you and me folks what are we to do about this government overreach that is how he

[00:19:57] ends his column and now and and so judgenaps ended his column with that question but let me suggest an answer a couple of answers one from Old Testament second Chronicles chapter seven

[00:20:10] verse 14 which reads and this is coming from Jehovah okay the God of the Old Testament he says quote if my people which are called by my name shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face

[00:20:29] and turn from their wicked ways then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land end of quote now before I suggest the second answer to this important question say let me just insert parenthetically here that a Gille Riseca president of Utah

[00:20:54] Eagles forum couple of weeks ago suggested we fast last Sunday and also yesterday two Sundays to fast and pray for the election of good honest wise men and women here in the state of Utah

[00:21:14] and I don't know how far that call went it may have gone to other states I hope it did but certainly here in the state of Utah my wife and I we've asked it and prayed both last Sunday

[00:21:27] and also yesterday and I know that scores and scores of people did the very same thing appealing to our creator to bless our fellow citizens to vote for the candidates who are good

[00:21:44] honest and wise who are not rhino candidates who are not in it for the government's sake but who are in the race for the sake of the people for the sake of the citizens of this state

[00:22:00] and I have to tell you say I believe it made a difference and we'll make a difference in the outcome of the elections this primary election which concludes on Tuesday just tomorrow June 25th

[00:22:18] I hope it has made an impact and I hope it will result in the election of many many good honest and wise men and women by the end of the day tomorrow by the end of tomorrow when the returns are counted

[00:22:36] my humble prayer is that the voters in this state will have chosen the good the honest and the wise candidates from among the many who are vying for public office a couple of steps I wouldn't make about this low as number one I don't know whether the

[00:22:57] people will choose right on election day tomorrow or not for the primary elections in the state of Utah I don't know whether the right people in my mind will win what I do know is this

[00:23:08] whenever we stand up for right the Lord reward us and bless us and protects us to some degree and the more we fast as you mentioned these last couple of weekends and the more we pray

[00:23:17] for our leaders and pray for the right outcomes and then we do our best to pray hard and leave it up to God but then stand up and do our very best and trust in Him for the rest

[00:23:25] it always amounts to good and there's probably I can't think of a more powerful thing for Liberty than prayer no doubt actions important you gotta make your prayer and your

[00:23:36] actions congruent I get all that but I guess I'm just kind of saying that I think no matter what it's going to do good when any individual tries to choose right the Lord bless us

[00:23:47] immeasurably for that and so it's really important to kind of realize that you know what I'm not in charge of the outcome I'm just involved in Liberty and in charge of what I do and the Lord knows

[00:23:59] that he knows my heart he knows me he knows you and your heart and he will bless us for any right actions we take on an individual basis a family basis a community basis on a national or nation's

[00:24:10] basis the Lord rewards right all the time and he always will so I just want to kind of go on record say that and say you know what don't worry about the results as much as worrying about what you're

[00:24:20] doing that's really where we have the ability to make change and advocate for solutions when we come back well Nelson's got another credible article to highlight I'll I can tell you as this

[00:24:31] other countries are setting an example for us we should indeed take heed hold on low Nelson campaign from liberty dot organ seconds on your radio your daily Liberty Newswire you're listening to Liberty News Radio

[00:30:27] and by Andrew and Apollo Tonell. The important questions to be asked and the predicaments that understand that office situation were in, what do we do about it? We turned to a great interview, Dr. Carlson made a deal recently with a president of El Salvador. We can learn

[00:30:47] things from our neighbors to the south. We can certainly learn some important lessons here from this interview. On Saturday, I listened to this conversation between Tucker Carlson and the president of El Salvador. His name is Naib Bakkele. He was recently reelected president of El Salvador,

[00:31:09] a landslide, very, very popular. This whole conversation lasted about one hour. All of it was worth it. I must say, there is a bit of a language barrier. Bakkele, president Bakkele does really well with English but it is not what you call natural English American English,

[00:31:34] but I just loved his accent and his talking about the problems that he solved there in El Salvador. And that's what he did, folks. He solved the problems of El Salvador. But I want to highlight

[00:31:49] one aspect of the conversation. I'm not going to cover the whole hour-long interview, but there is one aspect of the conversation that relates to the point that we just made in a previous column, the point about second chronicle 714 about turning to God. As a solution

[00:32:07] to the problems we face, well it turns out that El Salvador was the murder capital of the world. You know I don't watch all of the countries in the world. I mean, I didn't realize this was

[00:32:22] the case but apparently it was El Salvador had more murders and homicides and gain killings and so forth in per capita than any country in the world. So all right, so it was the most dangerous

[00:32:34] place to be in the whole world. Yet here comes this gentleman named Naeeb Bakkele. He begins elected president and in the past two or three years he and his fellow leaders successfully transformed

[00:32:52] El Salvador into the safest place in the world. How did they do it? Well that's what Tucker Carlson went to find out. He went to conduct this interview with President Bakkele in order to talk with him about this marvelous change, this incredible turnaround in the country. It was

[00:33:16] once the murder capital of the world and now it's a safest place in the world. What happened? Well, among other things they changed their attorney general. They got condemned by other world leaders for doing that by the way. They had no help from other countries. All they got

[00:33:31] was criticism from other country world leaders but they basically declared war on the gangs in El Salvador. There was roughly 70,000 gang members in El Salvador, 70,000. So 70,000 gang members. Okay? Now in this fight against the gangs they lost only eight police officers and soldiers. And of course

[00:34:00] the loss of even one is tragic but they lost eight police officers and soldiers and they successfully arrested 70,000 gang members. And did they get all of this without any resources or help from other governments surrounding them? Most criticisms from other governments. The real government at the time

[00:34:24] President Bakkele became president. The real government was the gangs and that's really the truth about any country that is full of murders and homicides and gangs. Well, the gangs run everything. That was the case in El Salvador. Well, he turned that around. He took,

[00:34:46] he just took the fight to the gangs and began arresting gang members. And when the gangs attacked them back, he said there was a three day period in which they killed 87 people. He talked about

[00:35:00] this where the gangs, they have his country, they had six million possible targets and the gangs, they don't care who they kill. They know that no matter who they kill, it's going to be the fault

[00:35:13] of the government because the government can't protect everybody. And so that's how the gang can project power in the country. But the government it had only 70,000 possible targets because there was only 70,000 gang members. And so it was an impossible task. It truly was in

[00:35:35] impossible tasks to clean up the country. And so Tucker asked him, President Bakkele, how did you do it? And here is the floor dropping response. President Bakkele said, it's a miracle. It's a miraculous.

[00:35:54] We don't know how we did it. Basically it's a miracle. And so after this three day period when the gang killed 87 people in three days, they were meeting in President Bakkele's office and

[00:36:09] they were trying to figure out what to do. And he said, so we prayed. In the meeting, in Tucker couldn't believe it. He says, you prayed in your meeting, in your cabinet meeting, and President Bakkele said, yeah, we prayed several times. What was your pray for? He said,

[00:36:29] they prayed that civilian casualties would be as low as possible. He said, everyone in my cabinet are believers. I mean, he admitted that it's not religious nation, right? And everybody in government, it's not like they all have the same religion, but they all believe. They believe in God.

[00:36:55] And they all felt comfortable and tired of comfortable praying to God for help to solve this terrible problem. And so this, just, you know, Tucker could help sort of laugh when Bakkele said, well, it's a miracle. He was, he was, he was, we're not making fun of the

[00:37:17] president. He was just surprised that President Bakkele answered him so honestly. And then Bakkele went on to say this, quote, he says, if you win the spiritual war, then you will win the physical

[00:37:32] war. End of quote. And so now he's been reelected because he's so popular, because he was able to do the miraculous thing and imprison those 70,000 gang members, make El Salvador the safest place on earth.

[00:37:50] He is now working on a plan to strengthen the economy. And so when Tucker asked him what, how are you going to do? How are you going to strengthen your economy? President Bakkele said, well, we're going to pray. We're going to seek Lohads Wisdom. Isn't that the quintessential

[00:38:11] answer that God gives us in the Bible? You quoted this just a little bit ago, you know, 2014 I think it is or no? 714. 714. 714. I guess it's second Chronicles. We're getting the two from.

[00:38:25] Anyway, but isn't that the answer God promises us? And then you get this leader that highlights this on the global stage with Tucker Carlson. He says no one would help them. Where was the United

[00:38:36] States if we're going to help anybody? It should be a praying, you know, leadership. That's what we need in America today. In America wouldn't even help them. But yeah, we're going to just blow up, you know, Turkey, I'm sorry, Ukraine and Russia's relationship and do all this stuff.

[00:38:53] Well, these guys and the genuine help they're praying for support and helping God obviously came to their aid where we were. And what an example of Follower? And other countries now, they want to

[00:39:06] follow the example of El Salvador. It's a true fact. And I think one of the reasons he got so much criticism for what he was doing because the other countries they thrive on unrest and their glad

[00:39:21] when gangs are there in their country because then they have a problem to solve. Right? That's a politician. That's the we call that where you have a a problem in a solution and then it's

[00:39:36] yeah, the hagaly and dialectic. They love that. Exactly. So politicians love the hagaly and dialectic but this politician is different. This president, Buckele he solved the problem. He got rid of the gangs. And now he's going to strengthen the economy of El Salvador and the very first

[00:39:57] part of his plan. And you just don't hear politics and say this, but they had number one piece of his plan is to seek God's wisdom. Who says that today? What politician do you know? The says,

[00:40:09] okay, the first point of our plan is to pray and to seek God's wisdom. How many were all leaders shouldn't that be the United States of all people? Oh, of all people. Four countries. Yeah.

[00:40:22] But what a leadership example there and what a solution and now we have the blueprint for success. So we're going to do his embrace it. Well, we knew it from the founders and we see it modern day.

[00:40:31] Go ahead and skip the break. Man, there's just so much to cover so little time. You know, people want to take us to war. Caitlin Brownstone talking about this. I don't know. Yeah, talking about this in detail. John Stone. Sorry, John Stone Brownstone, Gladstone.

[00:40:46] Anyway, anyway, okay, she does a great job though, Caitlin. She always has, she's really an anti-war advocate. I am with her on this, Loll. Yeah, I mean too. And the reason I wanted to mention this is because last

[00:41:00] week after talking about the article by Dennis Cassinage where he warned that the U.S. House had proved to measure in the NDAA for 2025 that would automatically register all males with the selective service and thus make it easier for the U.S. regime to provide cannon fodder

[00:41:18] to whatever conflict surfaces like in Ukraine or Israel or Taiwan. Right? After mentioning that article, there were some people in my circles who doubted that the draft was a real thing

[00:41:32] or that it could or would ever come back. Well, I want to mention this article by Caitlin John Stone because basically she's corroborating what Dennis Cassinage talked about last week. She writes this quote, NATO powers are rapidly escalating toward hot war with Russia. At the same time,

[00:41:52] the U.S. is expanding its draft policies to make it easier to force more Americans to go and fight in a giant war. NATO Secretary General Jenz Stoltsonberg's comments on Friday stating the alliance actually has a far greater number of troops that could deploy than the 300,000

[00:42:11] ad previously set as its goal. Allies are offering forces to NATO's command at a scale not seen in decades. Stoltonberg said on Friday, today we have 500,000 troops at high readiness across all domains significantly more than the goal that was set at the 2002 Madrid summit end of

[00:42:33] quote. And so apparently, saying the U.S. and other NATO countries have given a green light to Ukraine to use their weapons to strike targets inside of Russia. The Netherlands and Denmark, they plan to supply F-16s in the coming months to strike Russia. While Stoltonberg said

[00:42:51] quote, it should not be considered an escalation by Russia end of quote. What a question mark exclamation point? How in the world would Russia not consider this an escalation? Well, the White House spokesman John Kirby said that because NATO is a defensive alliance,

[00:43:10] anything that NATO's does could not be considered a provocation. And that's the lie. See, Russia is saying that they're not part of the provocation here. So Russia's not guilty of it. NATO is, but now NATO pretends that no matter what it does, it's never because it's defensive in

[00:43:29] nature. They just lie through their teeth as they provoke, provoke, but Russia is saying we're not the provocateur here. And then the United States and the NATO groups are saying, well, of course,

[00:43:38] we can't be. We never are. We're defensive in nature. Well, the why are we over there then? Let me just ask that stupid question. Why are we over there then? If we're not provocateurs,

[00:43:45] why don't we just come on home? Just pack it up and come on home. People, that's what I advocate for. We've got to get it done. If you're not a provocateur, just come on home. Right?

[00:43:54] Yeah. And then Kaylan refers to the Cuban missile crisis. She says, quote, one of the dumbest things the Empire asks us to believe these days is that surrounding its official enemies with excess stintually threatening war or machinery should always be seen as a defensive measure.

[00:44:13] The last time a credible military threat was placed near the US border, Washington responded so aggressively the world almost ended. And yet nations like Russia and China are expected to let the US and its allies amass military threats right near their borders without even

[00:44:29] regarding this as a provocation and a quote, sister crazy and so crazy. Well, with these frightening developments on the other side of the planet, US lawmakers are working to expand draft registration to women and to automate registration for men. And that's what in the Senate bill

[00:44:51] the Senate Armed Services Committee approved version of the NDAA that would expand selective service registration to include young women as well as young men. This version of the NDAA will now go to the floor as the starting point for consideration and approval by the full

[00:45:10] Senate. Well, US Senator Mike Lee is opposed to registering women for the draft. Thank goodness there are only seven countries currently that draft women Sam. In Retria, Israel, Mozambique, Norway, North Korea, Myanmar and Sweden. And shame on them all, lo. Yeah, every single one of them

[00:45:32] shame on them. There is some disbelief about these actions of Congress. Some people are merely they're saying, well, merely registering with the Selective Service does not mean the draft is back. That's what they're saying to me Sam. Well, how would you respond to that perspective?

[00:45:51] I'll respond very simply then. Why do it? If it's not necessary, if it's not a ador, if that's not their future intention, if that's not what they're advocating for. Why do we

[00:46:02] need to put that in place at all? Exactly Sam and so Kailin Johnston writes in her characteristic fashion here quote, The draft is one of those things that gets more disgusting than more you think about it, especially in a nation whose government is as beligerent as Anne

[00:46:20] psychopathic as the USA's. These freaks can engage in any amount of brinksmanship they like with nations they have no business fighting all without any of their actions ever being put to a

[00:46:34] vote from the general public and then if it goes hot, they get to turn to a bunch of kids in their teens and early twenties and say this is an our problem. It's yours go fight and kill and die for

[00:46:46] your country. They can start a war with their own recklessness and then chill out and sip martinis while your kids go get killed in it. This is evil, this is ugly and it needs to stop

[00:47:00] into the end of that and any nation by the way that puts their women in harm's way, what have we done, low? Wow, you know there was a congressman who's running for congress in California

[00:47:13] who was martin, he was injured by an explosive device at run side to explosive device ied and he was he was martin burned. I mean his face is disfigured Sam, he's running for congress

[00:47:29] and he came out against this thing on the news yet a day and he said look folks and he he pointed at his face look at my face. This is what you're going to send young women

[00:47:40] into war zone. This is going to be the result i mean it's very graphics and i just felt so sorry for anybody that has to go to war but to to conscript people, to go to war is not the answer.

[00:47:55] If we if we actually need to defend our country you'll have people coming out of the wood work to stand up in defense of our country and rightfully so and rightfully so but you don't get that

[00:48:07] with a slave army, a conscripted army and people who have that force to go to war. Not only that one people are there for the right reasons they don't tend to enjoy the spoils of war

[00:48:17] when you have people that are conscripted and forced into it and stuff like that the spoils of war rape and pillage and plunder become kind of paramount as well. The founding fathers were against these unconstitutional unjust immoral wars, boss dae, that's Frederick boss dae, the great writer of

[00:48:32] the law and many other publications and stuff. He highlighted where i stand along with Ron Paul and Caitlin John Stone and ended up all a dono and i mean i could just keep going on and you of course

[00:48:47] law there's many of us that are not for these wars but Frederick boss dae really highlights where it all starts and ends in my mind. Not only was he a brilliant economist sand but he was

[00:49:01] also a radical opponent of war and foreign interventionism just like you said Sam he's kind of like the Ron Paul of the of 19th century friends. For example he opposed the French colonization

[00:49:16] of Algiers stating this in 1846 quote, I have no hesitation in saying that unless it be in order to secure independent frontiers you will never find me in this case or in any other on the

[00:49:31] conquerors side. To me it is a proven fact and I venture to say a scientifically proven fact that the colonial system is the most disastrous illusion ever to have led nations astray. End of quote, turns out that boss dae wanted to abolish the French standing army altogether

[00:49:53] in 1847 he quote reminded his readers that military expenditure is generally an enormous waste of money and that the exploitation of the taxpayers can be greatly reduced where the size of the French military drastically reduced end of quote. Paul just to add here the founding fathers believe

[00:50:15] the same they only had a standing army for two years that a time just saying hey let's bring it up when it's necessary take it down for the most part when it's not let's make sure that it doesn't

[00:50:23] continue beyond its normal see your needfulness for the defense of the greatest country on the face of the earth other than that we don't need it they put that in place we're ignoring that to our peril as well.

[00:50:34] That's right this Frederick Bassier he does sound like Ron Paul and see Ron Paul he was an economist right he got interested because Nixon cut the tie to gold hit that made him very interested keenly

[00:50:49] interested Ron Paul became a brilliant economist as well as a brilliant member of the U.S. house and so there's something about if you understand how the economy truly works you also oppose militarism I just think that connection is quite interesting now Bassier also sought to abolish

[00:51:11] conscription we've been talking about conscription he says this quote in response to the claim that he was disarming the country. Bassier responded quote I said that I was disbanding the army and not that I was disarming the country end of quote so rather Bassier wanted a military of

[00:51:32] armed private citizens who he contended would provide far greater practical defense than a hoard of conscripts living off the taxpayer dold as Bassier sounds like the American second amendment huh sir does as Bassier put it quote every citizen must know two things

[00:51:53] how to provide for his own existence and how to defend his country end of quote right and that is like you say Sam the militia as envisioned by the framers of this country

[00:52:06] let me repeat that last sentence every citizen must know two things how to provide for his own existence meaning he takes care of himself he doesn't depend on others to care for him

[00:52:18] and how to defend his country be in other words being a citizen a true citizen of a country is being a part of the militia in that country where you're willing to defend your country against all

[00:52:32] enemies foreign and domestic right it isn't that great I just love that now he also said in 1849 that large armaments necessarily until heavy taxes and this taxation is a crying in justice

[00:52:48] inflicted upon the poor to the advantage of the rich I mean that's perfectly true now today too Sam man and so we see that Bassier Frederick Bassier and others in his day were Viemann and Ty Interventionists and advocates for radical reductions in military spending military deployments

[00:53:10] and warmaking of all types they understood that war is the health of the state they were not fooled by calls for spreading democracy at the point of a gun or civilizing the natives in the

[00:53:23] colonies oh from a like Bousdea we should advocate slashing military spending and abolishing the standing army we should advocate for full and complete withdrawal from the Middle East and every other corner of the globe in which the US regime continues to intervene Sam in short

[00:53:42] we should promote and support a policy of none interventionism say you want to know why yeah because we follow the Prince of Peace that's why second Chronicles chapter seven verse 14 baby if we turn to God in repent he will heal our land

[00:54:06] and protect us what an incredible delightful promise will we rise to the cause will we accept the call will we advocate for peace that is our prayer as we pray for the Supreme Court we pray for

[00:54:22] Congress we pray for all those who lead our nation and nations around the world you know what we can realize we're all God's children let's start to act like it can be kind and appreciative and follow
