Government Corruption
Eighty Years of Unconstitutional Wars Required Income Tax & Corrupt Congress
2025-03-24
[News With Views] We lost every war in the last eighty years, none of them for the national security of America or with a Constitutionally-required Declaration of War.

A majority of Congress is complicit, corrupt, well-bribed and swimming in the blood of millions of dead innocents and 105,000 of our military. No group in history is more contemptible than a majority of the blood-sucking Congress that have no ethics, morals, honor or redeeming qualities whatsoever.

How can the people tolerate a Congress responsible for unconstitutional wars, death of millions (including your sons and daughters), while impoverishing the people to do so?

It is a damn shame that during the last eighty years, young people served in the military based on false propaganda. Many were killed or disabled for life. I say it is criminal because the wars were unconstitutional without a Declaration of War, and had nothing to do with the security of the United States. The media and establishment propaganda lied and our military died for profit and bribes.

Veterans must be honored for serving to protect the United States, even if it was based on propaganda. People of military age are mostly interested in the opposite sex and accept media and government-sponsored educational and establishment propaganda as fact, and so do their parents. This reality is difficult to accept if you have been maimed for life or lost a child in an unconstitutional no-win war for profit of the Parasitic Super-Rich Ruling Class (PSRRC).

We need the military on United States soil to protect us from Mexican cartels, freeloaders, and criminals crossing our borders and to deport those already here. The military must also protect us from internal Communist and terrorist attacks.

I repeat what is obvious: the United States can’t be invaded,
…huh? What would you call all those illegals thw Biden-Harris administration shipped in, if not an invasion? Perverts, violent criminals, narco gangs, Communist Chinese sspecial forces soldiers, IRGC soldiers, jihadis — and even some legitimate refugees and economic migrants flowed in by the millions, and immediately set about soaking up benefits and causing trouble…
and it can only be defeated in a nuclear war or by Communists and insurgents already here. Enemies just don’t have the ability to get here in quantity to fight a war (oceans). We have no genuine right or benefit to fight wars overseas unless attacked.
So legitimate wars against Communist China, Iran, Hezbollah-linked Latin American narco gangs and Hezbollah, Al Qaeda-linked Latin American narco-gangs and Al Qaeda…
Bring the troops home where we have 20 million illegal invaders that could be a Democrat/Communist force to overthrow our Republic!
Our military can be used at the border, but they aren’t allowed to fight within the national borders, right?
These foreign wars for profit could not have been fought without funding by the income tax and fiat dollars printed by the unconstitutional and private Federal Reserve Bank. We have unconstitutional fiat money because they couldn’t print gold. All of this was made possible by the Great Coup of 1913 ( see my recent articles).

Note: The PSRRC learned from the Civil War that while tariffs and excise taxes funded the government quite well in peacetime, additional fiat money (Greenbacks) were required to fund a war. The income tax provides that funding.

Of course the Military Industrial Complex portion of the Parasitic Super-Rich Ruling Class (PSRRC) ordered and profited from the wars and paid bribes to Congress. The PSRRC consists of the wealthy owners of stock who control and direct corporations to pay minions in the establishment to do their bidding.

Remember that the federal establishment is not a government, so I don’t refer to it as such. It has unlawfully usurped many state functions, but it is still not a government.

President Trump, please obey the Constitution and bring all of our troops home from 150 countries, terminate all foreign aid and care for the veterans as promised. We have no business in NATO; let Europe defend itself. We have no right to project military force unless we are attacked or to combat piracy. In simple terms, our troops should never be in combat in another country since any effective attack on us must be nuclear. Most of what the government tells us about Israel and Ukraine is a damn lie.
What lies has the Trump government pronounced about Israel? For that matter, what lies has the Trump government pronounced about Ukraine? (They can’t be held responsible for the whoppers emitted by the Biden-Harris administration, which lied as it breathed.)
Sorry, that’s the truth.

As is my wont, I have only covered important points of the subject to increase readership and understanding. Please pass this article on to officials and others who could benefit.

#3   the Parasitic Super-Rich Ruling Class (PSRRC).
What a creative antisemitic slur!
Usually those people can't even spell.

#2  Constitutionally-required Declaration of War

Note well. Jefferson waged war against the Barbary Pirates without a declaration of war. The entire frontier campaigns against the indigenous population was waged without declaration of war. The Philippine operations against those indigenous peoples was done without a declaration of war. The Vera Cruz and Pershing Expeditions in Mexico were done without a declaration of war.

The big difference is that those operated from a concept we inherited from Parliament. The purse strings were controlled by Congress. It could cut off funds if it sought to. It would do that in the 1970 by cutting funding to aid/assist Vietnam after our withdraw.

In 1948, that which would become the Swamp decided to become the World's Policeman, re-initiating the peacetime draft. With it came the costs both in its impact upon the finances of the state and the liberties of the people, as the Swamp turned inward to keep control and power at any cost.

#1  "The PSRRC learned from the Civil War that while tariffs and excise taxes funded the government quite well in peacetime, additional fiat money (Greenbacks) were required to fund a war. The income tax provides that funding."

Not to mention the Federal government was no where near the Leviathan monstrosity it is today, and there weren't any social programs to fund. What are the unfunded liabilities of the US gum'ment today, a few hundred trillion or so? I forget, but it's up there.

As for taxes, you can thank Thomas "Woodrow" Wilson and his trusty sidekicks for the introduction of a federal income tax and the Federal Reserve Act, both in/around 1913. That enabled a lot of brave Doughboys to find their final resting places in France. (Yes, France...sickening.)
