- Nowhere in the extensive press coverage of the military
base closings, and their expected negative impact on the economies of the
states affected, has there been information related to the history behind
base closings. Citizens are being lead to believe that the primary reason
for base closings is economic, the saving of taxpayers' hard-earned money.
Such reasoning is hard to swallow, considering the $300 billion plus dollars
spent on the unconstitutional war in Iraq which has little to do with protecting
the national security of the United States; and the presence of the U.S.
military in over 100 foreign countries, defending international, not national
interests. If we really wanted to save money and were concerned regarding
national security, wouldn't we be bringing our military back to defend
our borders and to protect us from possible attacks from abroad?
-
- A major reason for the base closures, which our elected
officials have carefully avoided discussing, requires a look into history,
going back to the Kennedy Administration and the 1961 Arms Control and
Disarmament Agreement, P.L. 87-297, 87th Congress, H.R. 9118, September
26, 1961; State Dept. Publication "Freedom From War: The U.S. Program
for General and Complete Disarmament in a Peaceful World", also known
as "State Department Publication No. 7277"; P.L. 101-216, a more
recent vote to support its parent document, P.L. 87-297 dated October 12,
1989; and H.R. 4481, "AN ACT To provide for the closing and realigning
of certain military installations during a certain period, which passed
the U.S. Senate, July 14, 1988, also known as the 'Defense Savings Act
of 1988'."
-
- Here are just a few key quotes from those documents.
I have emphasized words relating to base closures. The reader can verify
the quotes by going on the Internet to the United States Department of
State website: [Read]
-
- (1) "'The Arms Control and Disarmament Act', Sept.
26, 1961:
-
- "Purpose, Sec. 2. An ultimate goal of the United
States is a world which is free from the scourge of war and the dangers
and burdens of armaments...It is the purpose of this Act to provide impetus
toward this goal by creating a new agency of peace to deal with the problem
of reduction and control of armaments looking toward ultimate world disarmament.
-
- "Definitions, Sec. 3. (a) The terms 'arms control'
and 'disarmament' mean the identification, verification, inspection, limitation,
control, reduction, or elimination, of armed forces and armaments of all
kinds under international agreement including the necessary steps taken
under such an agreement to establish an effective system of international
control, or to create and strengthen international organizations for the
maintenance of peace." Please note reference to "armaments of
all kinds" which translated into simple English means your private
fire arms.
-
- (2) "Freedom From War: The United States Program
for General and Complete Disarmament in a Peaceful World, also known as
State Department Publication #7277"
-
- This policy book explains Public Law 87-297 and calls
for;
-
- "(1) the disbanding of all national armed forces
and the prohibition of their reestablishment in any form whatsoever, other
than those required to preserve internal order and for contributions to
a United Nations Peace Force."
-
- (3) "H.R. 4481 AN ACT To provide for the closing
and realigning of certain military installations during a certain period",
passed the U.S. Senate, July 14, 1988. "This Act may be cited as the
"Defense Savings Act of 1988". This legislation is a direct result
of PL 87-297 as explained in State Department Publication #7277 above which
calls for:
-
- "STAGE II, B. To Further Reduce Armed Forces and
Armaments;
-
- "(a) Levels of forces for the U.S., USSR and other
militarily significant states shall be further reduced by substantial amounts
to agreed levels in equitable and balanced steps;
-
- "(d) Agreed military bases and facilities wherever
they are located shall be dismantled or converted to peaceful uses.
-
- "STAGE II, E. To Keep the Peace: (a) The U.N. Peace
Force shall be established and progressively strengthened.
-
- "In Stage III progressive controlled disarmament
and continuously developing principles and procedures of international
law would proceed to a point where no state would have the military power
to challenge the progressively strengthened U.N. Peace Force and all international
disputes would be settled according to the agreed principles of international
conduct."
-
- As things presently stand, American taxpayers are funding
costly military excursions abroad, including the Iraqi invasion initiated
as a result of UN Resolution No.1441, November 2002, UN Security Council
unanimous 14-0 vote, which gave the invasion legal status. The U.S. military
is in effect serving as the "progressively strengthened U.N. Peace
Force" mentioned above.
-
- And Secretary Rumsfeld has the nerve to tell us that
the reason for the base closings is economic; that they will save us a
measly $5 billion dollars a year for ten years when he has no problem accepting
the cost of the Iraqi war, in terms of hundreds of billions of dollars
and over 1600 dead Americans?
-
- Thank you so much, Mr. Secretary, for what? These base
closures are an insult to our intelligence. They have little to do with
saving money; they have a great deal to do with the United Nations plan
to reorganize the world by regions (international socialism) so that nations
will no longer be sovereign and in control of their military. (Former President
of the Soviet Union refers to the European Union as the New European Soviet!)
This reorganization forces nations to depend solely on the United Nations
Peace Force to protect their borders, whether they wish them protected
or not.
-
- Doesall of the above not remind one of George Orwell's
classic "1984" where "war is peace and freedom is slavery"?
Why are so few Americans questioning the fact that this UN Peace Force,
made up of primarily U.S. military forces and equipment, seems increasingly
to be involved in the cleaning up of the UN's own dirty work, resulting
in the waging of war? UN "peace keepers" are presently moving
back into the Republic of Zaire (former Belgian Congo) to try to restore
equilibrium to that chaos-ridden nation, the forty-three year chaos resulting
from UN policies in the early sixties when Belgium was forced to give the
Congo its independence. In what appears to be a replay of 1961 when UN
forces raped nuns in Elisabethville, UN peace keepers are now reported
to be sexually abusing young girls.
-
- Did you, American voter, give the Congress permission
to change our military's constitutional responsibility from protection
of the United States and its citizens to protector of the world in the
service of the United Nations? Are you aware that all wars in which the
United States has been engaged since 1945 have been "peace actions"
called for by the United Nations Security Council (known as the World Police
Force)? Did you know that between 1945 and 1986 each and every United Nations
Under Secretary for Political and Security Council Affairs in charge of
these "peace actions" has been a Russian Communist?
-
- At a closed-to-the-public 1992 meeting of the Bilderberger
Group (internationalist/elitist movers and shakers who determine the global
agenda being implemented as I write), the Group discussed the possibility
of "conditioning the public to accept the idea of a UN army that could,
by force, impose its will on the internal affairs of any nation."
Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who attended the meeting, said:
"Today, Americans would be outraged if UN forces entered Los Angeles
to restore order. Tomorrow, they will be grateful." Have we arrived
at "tomorrow??
-
- If our elected officials truly want to save the taxpayers
money, they should:
-
- Vote to get the United States out of the totally unconstitutional
United Nations, thereby allowing all our servicemen and women to return
from Iraq and around the world to perform their constitutional duty of
protecting the United States of America. Such withdrawal of our country
from the UN should also result in the cancellation of all UN Treaties,
including the Arms Control and Disarmament Treaty, the UNFAIR Trade Agreements
which are reducing our nation to third world status, and the numerous treaties
affecting American education (forcing us into the disastrous No Child Left
Behind legislation!) through our membership in UNESCO, the OECD and other
international agencies.
-
- The savings brought about by the enactment of the above
recommendation would permit the slashing of federal income taxes, allowing
the private sector (not the elitist corporate fascist internationalist
sector) to create jobs within the United States, income from which will
fill the tax coffers, thereby allowing adequate funding of programs for
those Americans who for one reason or another are temporarily or permanently
unable to care for themselves and their families. And how about putting
some of that money to use repairing our states' incredibly delapitated
infrastructures? Would that be too much to ask of our honorable elected
officials in Washington?
-
- Our elected officials are not coming clean on this issue.
They should be forced to admit that the base closures have little to do
with saving money but all to do with disarming the United States (which
includes your private firearms)... at the same time transferring our military,
which used to defend us citizens, to the United Nations Peace Force, to
be used against us and other nations when and if we step out of line.
