Interventionist profiteers and foreign agents

Filed Under Conservative, Foreign Policy, Patrick J. Buchanan, Republican Party | Leave a Comment

“This is the situation in which the interventionists have placed our country: committed to go to war for countries and causes that do not justify war, against a Russia that is re-emerging as a great power only to find NATO squatting on her doorstep.”

Pat Buchanan nails another neocon scumbag.

Who is Randy Scheunemann?

He is the principal foreign policy adviser to John McCain and potential successor to Henry Kissinger and Zbigniew Brzezinski as national security adviser to the president of the United States.

But Randy Scheunemann has another identity, another role.

He is a dual loyalist, a foreign agent whose assignment is to get America committed to spilling the blood of her sons for client regimes who have made this moral mercenary a rich man.

The Mad Dogs of Empire

Filed Under Conservative, Foreign Policy, History, National, Patrick J. Buchanan | 1 Comment

Major General Smedley D. Butler wrote in his book WAR IS A RACKET, “Out of war nations acquire additional territory, if they are victorious. They just take it. This newly acquired territory promptly is exploited by the few – the selfsame few who wrung dollars out of blood in the war. The general public shoulders the bill.

And what is this bill?

This bill renders a horrible accounting. Newly placed gravestones. Mangled bodies. Shattered minds. Broken hearts and homes. Economic instability. Depression and all its attendant miseries. Back-breaking taxation for generations and generations.

For a great many years, as a soldier, I had a suspicion that war was a racket; not until I retired to civil life did I fully realize it.”

The quest for empire and political hegemony and the tenacious grip to keep it at all costs is much the same as perpetual war. The same select few grow politically powerful and profit from it. To a sane man they seem glassy eyed and greedy to the point of madness. They lie ceaselessly about the merits of their cause and their so-called victories. If that isn’t enough, they create new emergencies and enemies, which are more often than not imaginary. To maintain their spell over the masses which are always the most naive and fearful they talk of patriotism, collective sacrifice, national greatness, and the glory of military service in far off lands.
They seem oblivious to the enormity of the expense of occupations of foreign lands and of military bases long rendered needless. No monetary cost or sacrifice is too great to maintain their grip and it is rarely themselves that shoulder any of the cost or sacrifice.

I think Pat Buchanan is spot on this piece, if there was an Honorable Exit From Empire— 10,000 rice bowls would be broken.

Pat Buchanan Asks Who Was Right, Ron Paul or Rudy Giuliani?

Filed Under Conservative, Libertarian, Patrick J. Buchanan, Republican Party, Ron Paul | 3 Comments

We know who was right and Pat shows why.

“Ron Paul is no TV debater. But up on that stage in Columbia, he was speaking intolerable truths. Understandably, Republicans do not want him back, telling the country how the party blundered into this misbegotten war.”
