DECLARE WAR ON THE ISLAMIC STATE?
2016 Aug 19 from: Norann Dillon
Re: REV-UP AND STAND-DOWN – Need to Know News 2016 July 22.
Mr Griffin, Based on your writings and opinions, what are your thoughts on Congress going back to the basics and declaring War on the Islamic State? How would (or wouldn’t) that address the subject of your email [newsletter]? Thank you for all you do.

REPLY FROM GEG:
Hello Norann. I’ll try to keep this short inasmuch as the basic issue is quite simple. The problem lies in the fact that the issue is controversial, and many will have trouble accepting my analysis without a great deal of evidence and documentation, which will not be possible in this brief response. Nevertheless, here it is:

I believe that America should follow the Constitution and not engage in war unless it is in response to a formal declaration of war by Congress. There is not much controversy over that part. But I do not think that America should declare war against the Islamic State, because the Islamic State is not a real state or nation or any other well-defined enemy. In fact, it is predominantly the creation of the CIA and other so-called national-security agencies of the federal government. It is the fulfillment of a strategy best summarized as the best enemy money can buy and is used to justify a strong military presence in the Middle East and a police state at home.

That is not to say that ISIS is not evil to the core, but it is to say that ISIS kills its own Islamic people if they get in the way of its plans, thus proving that Islam is not the driving force. The driving force is money and military support from the US and NATO countries. For Congress to declare war on ISIS on the assumption that it is a war on Islam would be to play into the hands of the cabal of CFR neocons who hatched the scheme in the first place. The real enemy is within.

DOG AND PONY SHOW
2015 Aug 22 from cadman
Ed, Re: “Is the government here to help you?” 2016 August 19 issue, I sent almost the exact same message today to someone I know. It’s obvious we’ve been ‘played’ by the rich and their stooge public officials since at least the Hylton case in the late 1700’s. Court is for making public policy and for political engineering; It’s never been for “justice” (nor even for “law enforcement” as Oliver Holmes said). It’s all just one gigantic, expensive, and costly “dog and pony show”!
