The United States of America

by Larry McCart

MLC Ministries

The United States of America is great today because of Americans who have obeyed the Lord.  The problems in America today are because of persons, foreign and domestic, who have not obeyed the Lord.  Americans voted for George Bush in November 2000 hoping a person who obeyed the Lord would be our political leader.  Mr. Bush says he reads the Bible just about every day.

President Bush seems to be going in the right direction, and the new policy of global containment of terrorism probably will do much to prevent the destruction of America by evil forces.  America has done more than any other nation to provide better lives for humans on Planet Earth.  America has done more than any other nation to stop evil forces that threaten civilization.

Commander of the United States Armed Forces

and 

Chief Executive of the United States Federal Government

Knowing what I knew before the invasion of Iraq, and knowing what I know today, I believe the United States Armed Forces did the right thing in Iraq.  I had a choice:  (1) take the word of a madman, or (2) take action to defend the American people.  Faced with that choice, I chose to defend the American people.  The attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., on September 11, 2001, I will not soon forget.  My current policy is to confront the threats of the world, the threats of terror networks and terror states, before attacks take place in the United States of America.  I made a pledge to the American people:  I will not stand by hoping for the best while dangers gather; I will not take risks with the lives and security of the American people; and I will protect and defend the American people by taking the fight to the enemy.

Summary of 9/29/02 quotations from 

Jay Bookman

ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION

The National Security Strategy document, released September 20, 2002, "lays out a plan for permanent U.S. military and economic domination of every region on the globe, unfettered by international treaty or concern.  And to make that plan a reality, it envisions a stark expansion of our global military presence."

"To address the terrorism threat, the president's report lays out a newly aggressive military and foreign policy, embracing pre-emptive attack against perceived enemies.  It speaks in blunt terms of what it calls American internationalism, and ignoring international opinion if that suits U.S. interests."

The new policy requires U.S. forces "to perform constabulary duties — the United States acting as policeman of the world", and calls for "American political leadership rather than that of the United Nations."  "To meet those responsibilities, and to ensure that no country dares to challenge the United States, the report advocates a much larger military presence spread over more of the globe, in addition to the roughly 130 nations in which U.S. troops are already deployed."  The new policy calls for "permanent military bases in the Middle East, in Southeast Europe, in Latin America and in Southeast Asia, where no such bases now exist", and "temporary access arrangements for the long-distance deployment of U.S. troops."

The new policy calls for "the development of small nuclear warheads required in targeting the very deep, underground hardened bunkers that are being built by many of our potential adversaries."  The new policy calls for "the repudiation of the anti-ballistic missile treaty and a commitment to a global missile defense system."

To have sufficient military power to achieve the policy goals, "the United States would have to increase defense spending from 3 percent of gross domestic product to as much as 3.8 percent.  For next year, the Bush administration has requested a defense budget of $379 billion, almost exactly 3.8 percent of GDP."

"In 2000, we spent $281 billion on our military, which was more than the next 11 nations combined.  By 2003, our expenditures will have risen to $379 billion.  The increase in our defense budget from 1999-2003 will be more than the total amount spent annually by China, our next largest competitor."

THE TRIBUNE-REVIEW

LOS ANGELES - For most of Sam Cohen's life, he has struggled against politicians who, in his opinion, have sacrificed good sense when it comes to the nation's defenses.  Cohen is the physicist who invented the neutron bomb, the one that kills people but leaves things like tanks and buildings intact.

Most frightening for Cohen is the relative ease by which neutron bombs can be created with a substance called (censored).  (Censored) is a compound containing (censored) that has undergone massive irradiation.  When exploded, it creates tremendous heat and pressure - the same type needed to trigger a fusion device such as a mini-neutron bomb.

Before, an obstacle to creating a nuclear bomb was the need for plutonium, which when exploded could create a fusion reaction in hydrogen atoms.  But (censored) has changed that.  The cheap substance has been produced in Russia, Cohen said, and shipped on the black market throughout the world.

Cohen said that when U.N. inspectors went to Iraq to examine the Iraqis' nuclear weapons capabilities, the U.N. team found documents showing that they had purchased quantities of (censored).  The material means a neutron bomb can be built "the size of a baseball" but able to kill everyone within several square blocks.

The Draft is a Bad Idea

by Robert Scales Jr.

Retired general, former commandant of the Army War College

A return to the draft is a very bad idea whose time passed with the world wars, Korea and Vietnam.  These wars were tragically wasteful because in large measure they were fought with drafted soldiers. 

Drafted soldiers are far more likely to die in combat than long-service professionals.  Military leaders know from painful experience that it takes years to produce a fully competent combat soldier.  They also know that older soldiers live longer in combat.  Drafting teenagers and committing them to combat within only a year of enlistment will create an Army of amateurs.  Our Army in particular has a sad history of committing to battle men who are too young and inexperienced to have much hope of surviving against a hardened and skillful enemy. 

Drafted units can be kept together for only a short time and invariably march to war as random collections of strangers.  Our soldiers performed so superbly in Iraq because they were seasoned.  Good soldiers, like good wine, can be produced only with careful cultivation and patient aging.  Unfortunately, amateur armies learn to fight only by fighting.  Inevitably, the cost of that education is too horrific for the American people to bear.

The Most Powerful Military

by Doug Bandow

Former special assistant to President Reagan, now a senior fellow at the Cato Institute

America deploys the most powerful military on earth because its soldiers freely choose to serve.  Today's military is picky.  In 2003 more than 9 of 10 enlistees had a high school diploma.  The military takes virtually no one who doesn't score high in three of five categories of the Armed Forces Qualification Test.  Equally important, the all-volunteer force is staffed by soldiers who want to be there.  Draft advocates want "citizen soldiers."  But 4 million young people turn 18 every year, while the military inducted 185,000 recruits in 2003.  A system that took just 5% of those eligible would be highly arbitrary.

The worst lie told by conscription advocates about the all voluntary force is that most soldiers come from low-income families.  Overrepresentation of blacks is modest; Hispanics are actually underrepresented.  While there may be few sons and daughters of Wall Street in uniform, the vast majority of U.S. soldiers come from middle-income families.

What sets American society apart from totalitarian hellholes like Saddam Hussein's Iraq is its dedication to individual liberty.  Conscription sacrifices the very values we are supposed to be defending.

The most obvious reason to maintain the all voluntary force is practical:  It is the best way to raise the world's finest military.

Larry's Opinion of the Draft

by Larry McCart

MLC Ministries

Military conscription involves the issues of ownership and private property.  An individual who has Freedom owns his body.  Freedom from the government taking away one's primary asset (one's body) is a basic part of having Freedom. 

If America provides Freedom to all citizens, then America can not justify conscription of any kind.  A drafted soldier is a slave.  Former President Ronald Reagan said that conscription in the United States of America rests on the assumption that U.S. citizens are property of the federal government (Human Events, 1979).

Military conscription also involves the issues of supply and demand.  During wartime the demand for military service goes up.  If supply remains constant, it follows that the price for military service should go up.  If the price for military service goes up, it follows that supply will go up.  During wartime the wage rates paid to soldiers should go up enough to cause the supply of soldiers to go up.

If a government is just, military wage rates will rise during wartime based on the principle of supply and demand.  If a government is not just, military wage rates will be kept at the lower level, and conscription will be used to increase the supply of soldiers.  In this case an unfair tax burden is placed on soldiers.  The unjust tax amounts to the difference between the lower wage rates and what the wage rates would be in a free market.

A draftee is a double victim of injustice:  (1) he has been deprived of his Freedom and (2) he is forced to pay an unjust tax.  If the government is just and avoids conscription, volunteer soldiers will have higher wage rates, and an unfair tax burden will not be placed on soldiers.

President of the United States Federal Government

Freedom is the non-negotiable demand of human dignity; the birthright of every person — in every civilization.  Throughout history, Freedom has been threatened by war and terror; it has been challenged by the clashing wills of powerful states and the evil designs of tyrants; and it has been tested by widespread poverty and disease.  Today, humanity holds in its hands the opportunity to further Freedom’s triumph over all these foes.  The United States welcomes our responsibility to lead in this great mission.

Larry's Opinion on Vietnam

by Larry McCart

MLC Ministries

As a senior in high school between January 1964 and June 1964 Larry began a campaign to educate his friends and acquaintances about the dangers of Lyndon Johnson communism.  After spending much time reading books and verifying information (including information from Dan Smoot) Larry decided that the number one threat to the United States of America was Lyndon Johnson and his communist associates.  

Lyndon Johnson was a notorious liar who lied even when he did not need to lie (according to Robert F. Kennedy, U.S. Attorney General, 1961 to 1964, during an interview in 1968).  Lyndon Johnson was afraid that his criminal activities involving Billy Sol Estes and others would be exposed resulting in Lyndon Johnson being sent to federal prison.  Johnson seemed willing to do anything to avoid federal prison, including turning unnecessary small-scale military activity in Vietnam into large-scale military activity designed to look like "a war against communism".  Creating large-scale war in Vietnam got Johnson the support of paranoid goofballs who believed a war in Vietnam would save them from communism, when in fact the person they chose to support (Lyndon Johnson) was the most dangerous communist in the world.  By supporting Johnson the paranoid goofballs helped increase communism in America.  Larry correctly saw Vietnam as a tool being used by Lyndon Johnson to push his communist agenda and to help keep Lyndon Johnson out of federal prison.  The so-called Vietnam War was the result of selfish and unpatriotic actions of one person — Lyndon Johnson.  Robert F. Kennedy (U.S. Attorney General 1961-1964) said Vietnam was Johnson's war, and that all other high level officials in the Executive Branch of the U.S. government were against turning Vietnam into a major military conflict.

Lyndon Johnson used military conscription as a form of terrorism and as a weapon of military attack upon the civilian population with the intent of protecting Lyndon Johnson from domestic political adversaries.  Draftees were detained in concentration camps, subjected to sleep deprivation, and subjected to verbal and physical abuse — as part of a carefully planned brainwashing process.  After "basic training" the draftee believed in a new religion.  This conversion to the State religion would stay with the draftee long after he left the military, and he would be a fanatical supporter of Lyndon Johnson communism.

Many draftees were shipped to Vietnam where they were forced to participate in what the mass media called "the Vietnam War".  Battlefield stress helped to reinforce the draftee's conversion to the State religion by causing a stronger and longer-lasting psychological bond to the concepts of the State religion.  Over three million Americans were draftees during the Vietnam years, and some of these persons have become teachers in public schools, where they teach their fanatical religious beliefs (communist lies of the State religion).  By 1969 about the only draftees the US federal government could get were low-IQ misfits who were more trouble than they were worth.

The myth of "South Vietnam" was a fabrication of the US mass media.  It has been estimated that as late as 1973 that 80 percent of the Vietnamese living in that area of Vietnam had never heard of such a thing as "South Vietnam".  What really existed was a gang of rebels who wanted to maintain illegitimate control over that area of Vietnam.  This gang of rebels fighting against the Vietnamese government was well-financed by US taxpayers.  Huge amounts of US taxpayer cash were given to corrupt rebel politicians and associates.  US dollars dumped into the rebel economy paid for expensive cars, big houses, and servants for many of the rebels.  The sons of prosperous rebels were not required to serve in the rebel military, and were free to travel to the US to attend colleges and universities, sometimes with the help of financial aid granted by the US federal government.  For a bribe of about $200 (1973 dollars) the son of a prosperous rebel could avoid military slavery.  When the rebels could not supply enough soldiers, the US federal government would ship in more US draftees.  Based on this activity, the value placed on a US draftee slave was about $200.  In effect, the son of a prosperous Vietnamese rebel could pay $200 to buy a US draftee slave who would be forced to serve in his place.   

How did Larry McCart react to Lyndon Johnson's plan to turn Larry into a draftee?  "The communist bastard sent me a nasty letter about June 15, 1968, demanding that I report to conscription department employees in Fresno, California, for a physical examination so Lyndon Johnson could have some of his armed thugs threaten me with guns in an effort to scare me into being one of his communist slaves for a period of two years in his so-called military — a system of compulsory service designed to brainwash and convert draftees so they would be loyal to Lyndon Johnson and believe in his brand of communism.  I ignored the ignorant drunk, but made it clear to some of his communist associates in Bakersfield, California, where the nasty letter was mailed, that I would kill the communist trash if they continued to bother me on this issue.  Lucky for them, a draft deferment was mailed to me immediately, and I let the issue rest".

One might wonder whether killing kidnappers and murderers is justified.  According to the Bible, self defense is justified in the case of the individual who is the target of kidnappers and murderers, and the Bible prescribes death as the punishment for kidnappers and murderers.  Draft board members who aided and abetted Lyndon Johnson in his efforts to kidnap and murder innocent American citizens are some of the worst criminals in the history of our nation.  America was under attack by a US federal government controlled by the communist enemy, and draft board members betrayed America by aiding and abetting the communist enemy.

By June 15, 1968, any draft board member with an IQ above 85 should have figured out that Lyndon Johnson was not fighting a war against any so-called foreign enemy, but was managing a well-organized pogrom against American youth — a general massacre of American youth — a group of US citizens Johnson hated because of their honesty and fairness.  Johnson saw American youth as a threat to corrupt activities involving the US federal government. 

Lyndon Johnson hated Robert F. Kennedy because Johnson saw Kennedy as a threat to corrupt activities involving the US federal government.  On June 5, 1968, the day after Robert F. Kennedy won the Democratic presidential primary election in California, Robert F. Kennedy became one of the many victims of the Johnson pogrom against American youth.  A person by the name of Sirhan Sirhan was set up as the patsy and was advertised in mass media propaganda as the man who committed the terrible crime.  A careful study of evidence indicates that Sirhan was not in a position to have fired the shot that killed Kennedy.  The shot that killed Robert F. Kennedy came from behind Kennedy.  Witnesses stated Sirhan was in front of Kennedy.  Circumstantial evidence indicates that the killer was a Lyndon Johnson thug who was following behind Robert F. Kennedy.  Sirhan proposed the theory that he had been brainwashed by agents of Lyndon Johnson, and Sirhan has stated that he does not have any memory of the crime.  After winning the Presidential election in November 1968, Robert F. Kennedy would have reversed Johnson's Vietnam policy, and would have quickly removed American servicemen from Vietnam.

According to Albert Einstein, American citizens have a very real right to refuse military service.   Einstein said the only way for American citizens to be free from war is for American citizens to refuse military service — especially military service forced by conscription.  Einstein said, "He who would foster the international outlook and counteract national chauvinism must combat universal military service".  If the US federal government had stayed out of World War One, World War Two would not have occurred.  If the US federal government had stayed out of World War Two, the Holocaust would not have occurred.  If the US federal government had stayed out of the Korean civil war, communist North Korea probably would not exist today, since China probably would not have entered the war, and the forces of the South (who supported the Bible) probably would have defeated the forces of the North (who supported communist ideology).  If the US federal government had stayed out of Vietnam, communist ideology (communist religion) would not dominate that area of the world today.  The economic systems in Vietnam and China are dominated by free enterprise capitalism.  Peace leads to Freedom and free enterprise economies. 

Leonard C. Lewin's book, Report From Iron Mountain, was published in 1967, and contains what seems to be a classified report requested by a top official in the Kennedy Administration.  According to an article in U.S. News and World Report, one informed source confirmed that a "Special Study Group", as the book called it, was set up to create the report, and that the report was drafted and eventually submitted to Lyndon Johnson, who was said to have "hit the roof" and then ordered the report be bottled up for all time.  The book contained the following:  (1) "...military draft policies are only remotely concerned with defense."  (2) "As a control device over the hostile, nihilistic, and potentially unsettling elements of a society in transition, the draft can again be defended, and quite convincingly, as a military necessity."  (3) "Nor can it be considered a coincidence that overt military activity, and thus the level of draft calls, tend to follow the major fluctuations in the unemployment rate in the lower age groups.  This rate, in turn, is a time-tested herald of social discontent."  (4) "It is interesting that liberal sociologists currently proposing to use the Selective Service System as a medium of cultural upgrading of the poor consider this a novel application of military practice."  (5) "Although it cannot be said absolutely that such critical measures of social control as the draft require a military rationale, no modern society has yet been willing to risk experimentation with any other kind."  (6) "Allegiance requires a cause; a cause requires an enemy.  This much is obvious; the critical point is that the enemy that defines the cause must seem genuinely formidable."

A strategy of communists in the United States of America during the 1950's and 1960's was to create (in the minds of the American people) an outside threat such as the Soviet Union in the 1950's, Cuba in the early 1960's, and Vietnam in the late 1960's so that communism already here could be increased more easily.  From our perspective today we can see that any real outside threats were exaggerated or did not exist at all.  Lyndon Johnson increased communism in the United States of America more than any U.S. President except for Franklin Roosevelt (Lyndon Johnson's favorite role model).  According to Dan Smoot, in one year (1965), the 89th Congress, under President Johnson’s drive for "consensus", enacted unconstitutional, socialistic legislation more damaging to the cause of Freedom than all legislation enacted during all administrations since 1932.

The second most dangerous communist in the world after Lyndon Johnson was Earl Warren, a U.S. Supreme Court judge and a strong supporter of Johnson's Vietnam policy.  Earl Warren did not show concern that millions of American citizens had been forced into unconstitutional military slavery and that these American citizens had been denied their Constitutional right of Freedom of Speech and their Constitutional right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.  There was not a declared war; the government of Vietnam was not a threat to America; and there was not a national emergency that could justify denying constitutional rights of millions of loyal and right-acting American citizens.

Early in his political career Earl Warren chose to work as one of the employees of the military slavery agency of the federal government.  During World War One, as Second Lieutenant Earl Warren at Camp Lee in Virginia, USA, he was one of the officers in charge of processing new draftees so they could be shipped to Europe to be slaughtered in a war the US should have avoided.

Richard Nixon was a psychotic lunatic who managed to get elected to the Presidency of the United States with the help of Lyndon Johnson.  Nixon apparently made a deal with Lyndon Johnson that he would continue the work Johnson was doing for the international communist conspiracy, and that he would protect Lyndon Johnson from political adversaries after Johnson left office.  In order to get Nixon elected, Johnson needed to remove Robert F. Kennedy as the Democratic Party's presidential candidate.  Circumstantial evidence indicates that a Lyndon Johnson thug murdered Robert F. Kennedy at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, California, on June 5, 1968, the day after Robert F. Kennedy won the Democratic presidential primary election in California.

After Nixon won the presidential election on November 6, 1968, he seemed to keep his agreement with Johnson, including continuing the pogrom against American youth in Vietnam.  Daniel Ellsberg worked for the Rand Corporation where he had access to a secret government report that contained information about Lyndon Johnson's crimes against humanity involving the pogrom against American youth in Vietnam, and Ellsberg believed that getting this information to the American masses would help end this American tragedy.

Throughout 1970, Daniel Ellsberg covertly attempted to convince a few sympathetic Senators (among them J. William Fulbright) to release this secret government report on the Senate floor.  When these efforts failed, Ellsberg, with the assistance of Anthony Russo, made copies of the secret government report, and gave a copy of the report to Neil Sheehan at the New York Times.  On June 13, 1971, the Jewish owners of the New York Times began publishing the first installment of the 7,000 page secret report.  John Mitchell, Nixon's Attorney General, sent a telegram to the Jewish owners of the New York Times ordering them to halt publication.  The Jewish patriots refused, and the government brought suit against them.  For 15 days these wonderful Jewish patriots were deprived of their Constitutional right of Freedom of the Press.  Fortunately, these wonderful Jewish patriots had a lot of money, and could afford to take the case to the US Supreme Court.  The Supreme Court judges enforced the US Constitution, and the Nixon law suit was thrown out.

After losing the case against the New York Times in court, Nixon was determined to punish Daniel Ellsberg.  Nixon ordered G. Gordon Liddy and E. Howard Hunt to burglarize Ellsberg's psychiatrist's office in September 1971, hoping to find information they could use against Ellsberg.  A Nixon associate by the name of Charles Colson was later prosecuted for this crime, and pled no contest for obstruction of justice in the burglary of Ellsberg's psychiatrist's office.

Nixon did not believe in playing fair, and had little, if any, respect for the Law.  According to Daniel Ellsberg's autobiography, on May 3, 1972, the day after FBI Chief J. Edgar Hover was found dead in his office in Washington D.C., Nixon gave orders to some of his thugs to "totally incapacitate" Ellsberg during a speech Ellsberg was scheduled to make on May 3, 1972, to Washington D.C. college students.  As a former US Marine, Ellsberg knew how to defend himself, and Ellsberg (with the help of friends) was able to prevent the Nixon thugs from doing serious damage to Ellsberg.

The release of the secret government report was politically embarrassing, not only to the gangster Nixon, but especially to his communist friend Lyndon Johnson.  Although the wonderful Jewish patriots at the New York Times won the trial at the US Supreme Court, an appellate court ordered these Freedom loving Jews to temporarily halt further publication of the secret government report.  This was remarkable because prior restraint has historically been viewed as the most oppressive form of censorship.  Ellsberg released the secret government report to other newspapers in rapid succession, making it clear to the federal government that they would have to obtain injunctions against every newspaper in America to prevent the American masses from learning about federal government crimes against humanity.  The right of the press to publish the secret government report was upheld in New York Times Co. v. US federal government.

In hindsight, Americans can look back at the tragedy of America as it was during the Johnson-Nixon years, and laugh at the stupid fools who defended Johnson and Nixon and their criminal activities.  Because of intelligent Americans like Daniel Ellsberg, Americans continue to enjoy the Freedom that the US Constitution guarantees.

Daniel Ellsberg came from a Jewish family, and as an adult became interested in Christian Science as taught by Mary Baker Eddy.  At the center of Christian Science is the teaching that God and God's creation are entirely good and spiritual.  They hold that the reality of being and of all existence is spiritual, not material.  Christian Scientists see this spiritual reality as the only reality and all else as illusion or error.  

Tenets of Christian Science as taught by Mary Baker Eddy:

(1) As adherents of Truth, we take the inspired Word of the Bible as our sufficient guide.

(2) We acknowledge and adore one supreme and infinite God (Jehovah).  We acknowledge His Son Jesus; the Holy Ghost ; and Man created in God's image.

(3) We acknowledge God’s forgiveness of sin.

(4) We acknowledge that man is saved through Jesus, through Truth, Life, and Love as demonstrated by Jesus in healing the sick.

(5) We acknowledge that the story of the crucifixion of Jesus and his resurrection served to uplift faith.

(6) We solemnly promise to watch and pray for that Mind to be in us that was also in Jesus; to do unto others as we would have them do unto us; and to be merciful, just, and pure.

Aiding and Abetting Adversaries of US Military Forces

Greg Evensen is a former Kansas lawman who travels the nation speaking about the law enforcement officer's role in US society.  Greg served as a Kansas State Trooper for many years.  According to Greg Evensen (NewsWithViews.com, May 22, 2007) Soviet communists knew of every act, plan, strategic assessment, and deployment action of US military forces before the US military implemented them during the so-called Vietnam War, because of information provided by US communists working at the US State Department in Washington, D.C., and Soviet communists working at the United Nations in New York City.  KGB files available to researchers after the Soviet-Communist federal government collapsed confirmed this to be the case.
