(It was dreadfully painful to watch him interrupted frequently with smirky ill-conceived questions, but Ron Paul did a marvelous job in patiently presenting the larger logical picture of the state of the affair. . . which IS, and WILL BE, appealing to the majority of the population.
He speaks with a consistent world-view, with the passion for truth, and NOT to ingratiate himself to the MSM overlords.
"Of all the enemies to public liberty, war is perhaps, the most to be
dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other.
War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes …
known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few.…
No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare."
--James Madison
The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism"It does not matter if the war is not real, or when it is real, it does not matter if victory is not possible.....The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous.....The essential act of modern warfare is the destruction of the produce of human labor.... A hierarchial society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance...In principle the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation.....The war is waged by the ruling group against it's own subjects, and it's object is not victory over Eurasia or East Asia ( or Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, or Iran) but to keep the very structure of society intact."
George OrwellFrom The Book: 1984
We live in a Welfare/Warfare/Wall Street State.
I'd like to share two Great Myths of the false left-right paradigm of the twin wings of the Ruling Party that I have discovered over the course of my awakening and independent studies. I think that they can help begin to explain why our world is on the precipice of annihilation and subjugation by totalitarian government.
Myth #1: Fascism and communism are polar opposites.
They are both branches of the same Marxist tree--and this Myth has been thoroughly discredited by a great many scholars and intellectuals. For an exceptional examination of this very subject, check out the insightful documentary film "The SovietStory".
Myth #2: Only leftists are opposed to interventionist war, the police/surveillance state, and completely arbitrary violations of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Today, to espouse a non-interventionist foreign policy is to commit the alleged sin of "isolationism" according to the grand mentioners in the media, intelligentsia, and government "leaders" and/or to identify oneself as a so-called left-liberal. Yet, the real diplomatic isolationists are those that perpetuate an interventionist foreign policy of agressive, undeclared war, empire, and arbitrary abuses of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The real right is in favor of the absence of these abusive and dictatorial government powers and the presence of justice according to nature's law.

Foreign Relations, the Dangers of Permanent Foreign Alliances, and Free Trade
Washington dedicates a large part of his farewell address to discussing foreign relations, and the dangers of permanent alliances between the United States and foreign nations. This issue had taken special prominence in American politics during conflict between France and Britain, known as the French Revolutionary Wars, and the efforts of the Federalists to join sides with Britain and the efforts of the Democratic-Republicans to convince Washington to honor the 1778 Treaty of Alliance, which established the Franco-American alliance, and aid France. Washington had avoided American involvement in the conflict by issuing the Proclamation of Neutrality, which in turn led to the Neutrality Act of 1794. He clearly tries to further explain his approach to foreign policy and alliances in this portion of the address.
Once again making reference to proper behavior based upon religious doctrine and morality, Washington advocates a policy of good faith and justice towards all nations, and urges the American people to avoid long-term friendly relations or rivalries with any nation. He argues these attachments and animosity toward nations will only cloud the government's judgment in its foreign policy. Washington argues that longstanding poor relations will only lead to unnecessary wars due to a tendency to blow minor offenses out of proportion when committed by nations viewed as enemies of the United States. He continues this argument by claiming that alliances are likely to draw the United States into wars which have no justification and no benefit to the country beyond simply defending the favored nation. Washington continues his warning on alliances by claiming that they often lead to poor relations with nations who feel that they are not being treated as well as America's allies, and threaten to influence the American government into making decisions based upon the will of their allies instead of the will of the American people.
Washington makes an extended reference to the dangers of foreign nations who will seek to influence the American people and government. He makes a point to say that he believes both nations who may be considered friendly as well as nations considered enemies will try to influence the government to do their will and it will only be "real patriots" who ignore popular opinion and resist the influence of friendly nations to seek what is best for their own country. It is likely that Washington's own experience during the Citizen Genêt affair, when a French diplomat traveled to America raising militias to attack Spanish lands, privateers to seize British ships, and rallies to sway American opinion in favor of an alliance with France against Washington's orders to stop his activities in the interest of American neutrality.
Washington goes on to urge the American people to take advantage of their isolated position in the world, and avoid attachments and entanglements in foreign affairs, especially those of Europe, which he argues have little or nothing to do with the interests of America. He argues that it makes no sense for the American people to wage war on European soil when their isolated position and unity will allow them to remain neutral and focus on their own affairs. As a result, Washington argues that the country should avoid permanent alliance with all foreign nations, although temporary alliances during times of extreme danger may be necessary, but does say that current treaties should be honored although not extended. (Despite his claim that current alliances should be honored, Washington had in fact through the Proclamation of Neutrality not honored the Treaty of Alliance, which promised aid in case the French were ever attacked by the British.)
Washington wraps up his foreign policy stance by advocating free trade with all nations arguing that trade links should be established naturally and the role of the government should be limited to insuring stable trade, defending the rights of American merchants, and any provisions necessary to insure that the government is able to insure the conventional rules of trade.
While Washington accepts the fact that it is natural for people to organize and operate within groups like political parties, he also argues that every government has recognized political parties as an enemy and has sought to repress them because of their tendency to seek more power than other groups and take revenge on political opponents. He argues that these parties' efforts to seize power and exact revenge upon their opponents have led to horrible atrocities and will ultimately end in despotism as people throw their support behind the most powerful faction and the faction focuses on increasing their own power instead of promoting the public liberty.
The Dangers of Political PartiesWashington continues to advance his idea of the dangers of sectionalism and expands his warning to include the dangers of political parties to the government and country as a whole. His warnings took on added significance with the recent creation of the Democratic-Republican Party by Jefferson, to oppose Hamilton's Federalist Party, which had been created a year earlier in 1791, which in many ways promoted the interest of certain regions and groups of Americans over others. A more pressing concern for Washington, which he makes reference to in this portion of the address, was the Democratic-Republican efforts to align with France and the Federalist efforts to ally the nation with Great Britain in an ongoing conflict between the two European nations brought about by the French Revolution.
Washington goes on to acknowledge the fact that parties are sometimes beneficial in promoting liberty in monarchies, but argues that political parties must be restrained in a popularly elected government because of their tendency to distract the government from their duties, create unfounded jealousies amongst groups and regions, raise false alarms amongst the people, promote riots and insurrection, and provide foreign nations and interests access to the government where they can impose their will upon the country.
