Neocons Are Globe’s Biggest Threat

Were you to ask most Americans what constitutes America’s greatest threat, their answers would most likely include the terrorist groups ISIS, al-Nursa and/or al-Qaeda. If one of those groups was in your answer, you are not even close. I suggest to you that the neocons in Washington are not only America’s greatest threat, they are the world’s greatest threat.

Compared to the threat that neocons pose to world peace and the sheer number of people killed by neocon-generated wars (numbering into the millions of people), militant Muslims (as sick and twisted as some are) are like children playing with squirt guns in a sand box.

 And forget the left-right, conservative-liberal paradigm, you’ve always been taught. All of that is only for electioneering. The real battle is between Americanism and globalism, and Neocons are all about globalism.

 Neocons can count success all the way back to the days of Richard Nixon and even back to Woodrow Wilson, but it was George H.W. Bush who snuck in the neocon Trojan horse while the American people were sound asleep. And his successors, Bill Clinton, G.W. Bush and Barack Obama, have given neocons almost total run of the place ever since. The political parties these men represent mean nothing. The real people they represent are the neocons (globalists).

 The reason we have been at war ever since Bush I invaded Kuwait and Bush II invaded Afghanistan and Iraq has nothing to do with those countries posing any imminent threat to the United States or anything of the kind. 

The reason we have been at war — and will stay at war — is because the neocons want us at war. They enrich and empower themselves through war, and they fulfill their economic/political/cultural/tribal agendas through war. And this is the reason the neocons have set up ISIS, al-Nursa, et al, as proxy armies to take the war into Syria and eventually Iran.

Former Congressman Ron Paul and Paul Craig Roberts (assistant secretary of the treasury under President Ronald Reagan) both have stated that the neocons are our greatest domestic threat. 

Recently Roberts wrote, “The remaining danger is the crazed American neoconservatives. I know many of them. They are completely insane ideologues. This inhuman filth has controlled the foreign policy of every U.S. government since Clinton’s second term. They are a danger to all life on Earth. Look at the destruction they have wreaked in the former Yugoslavia, in Ukraine, in Georgia and South Ossetia, in Africa, in Afghanistan and the Middle East.

“The American people people were too brainwashed by lies and by political impotence to do anything about it, and Washington’s vassals in Europe, UK, Canada, Australia and Japan had to pretend that  this policy of international murder was bringing freedom and democracy.”

The crazed filth that controls U.S. foreign policy is capable of defending U.S. hegemony with nuclear weapons. The neocons must be removed from power, arrested and put on international trial for their horrendous war crimes before they are capable of orchestrating a false flag attack (like 9/11) that propels the U.S. and Russia to war.

Nicholais Praised for Performance

While I agree with Bill Moeller’s April 14 commentary headline of “In Praise of Buster Keaton, Silent Films and Fred Beeks,” I do think we need to give credit where credit is due.

April 9 was indeed a delightful evening at the Fox Theatre watching Buster Keaton in a silent movie. High praise goes to Fred and Eva Beeks for sponsoring such an enjoyable film, but the outstanding organ accompaniment was by Nick Nicholai.

As told by Scott White, head of the Fox restoration project, (in a previous screening of another Buster Keaton film last August), Nicholai is blind and his wife feeds him information via a microphone that is connected to his headset. 

Mrs. Nicholai also manages the sound effects. What a great team! I hope to see more silent movies at the Fox Theatre. It is definitely a treat to hear a great, talented organist play along to a clean and comedic film.
