Whose Republic Is It, Anyway?

 

Through decades of unsolved assassinations, illegal wars, unacknowledged, and suppressed misconduct by intelligence and law-enforcement agencies, and the criminal theft and manipulation of elections, Americans have sidestepped a reckoning with the effect of their persistent abdication of their responsibilities as outlined in their Declaration of Independence written 250 years ago. No longer. The initiation by the United States, in collusion with Israel, of a full-blown regime change war against Iran, including the cold-blooded assassination of Supreme Leader Khamenei, and several top Iranian military leaders, now threatens the destruction of human civilization. Iran, a nation of 92 million people, has been put in a position where it has no choice but to fight back against an existential threat to its survival, posed by the United States – YOUR United States – and will conduct as much physical damage as possible. Their targets include nations which went along with this illegal, criminal war, and U.S. military bases in or associated with those countries.

Though many so-called “Christian” evangelicals may protest that bloody holy war is the will of God, there is no provision in the US Constitution that allows for the conducting of war in the name of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, or any other belief system. Our constitution demands the separation of church and state, in fact. The conduct of religious warfare against any nation by the United States military is an act of treason against the constitution of the United States. Such fundamentalist justifications for the Iran war has been the stated motivation. As reported by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), non-commissioned officers have complained about their superiors’ unrestricted euphoria regarding the “End Times” as described in the Book of Revelation. The New Republic reported that “One such note included an anecdote from a noncommissioned officer, who reported that their commander had ‘urged us to tell our troops that this was “all part of God’s divine plan” and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ…. ‘ He said that “President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth,”’ the NCO continued. ‘He had a big grin on his face when he said all of this which made his message seem even more crazy.’ It wouldn’t be a stretch to blame some of the blatant constitutional violations on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who has repeatedly evoked God and Christian nationalism in his time fronting the Pentagon.”

Faced with the destruction of any and all civilized concepts of international law, including the U.S. Constitution itself, what are the people of the United States to do now, to reverse the seemingly inevitable march to World War III, and thermonuclear extinction? We the people cannot keep our republic if the citizens of the United States refused to uphold their responsibility to preserve and protect the constitution from its enemies, foreign end domestic. Doing that begins with reading the United States Constitution—particularly its Preamble—reading the Federalist Papers, and reading the United States Declaration of Independence. This needs to inform your thinking in these next days, together with becoming conversant in current history through reading the Executive Intelligence Review.

In the wake of the immediate strategic crisis, the People of the United States, in tandem with other nations, must immediately begin a deliberative process as to the brutal nature of war being conducted without their consent, and assert their authority over the government of the United States. That process begins tonight.
