The word “neocon” has become a
common term in our political lexicon. However, I don’t think most
conservatives truly understand its definition.
First, people need to understand
that many neocons call themselves “conservative” on domestic social
issues. Not all neocons are truly conservative on these issues--some
aren’t. But many neocons DO trumpet themselves as socially
“conservative.” These folks like to identify themselves as “pro-life” or
“pro-family” or “pro-defense” or “pro-limited government,” etc. But
these titles are mostly meaningless.
At this point, it is imperative
that we understand how politicians in Washington, D.C., operate. Here is
a quick primer: Congressional leaders know which congressmen and
senators are controllable--and most of them are. Only a handful of our
federal congressmen and senators are “untouchable.” My guess is less
than 100 out of the 535 House members and U.S. senators are truly NOT
controlled--and that includes liberals and conservatives.
The vast majority of our
congressmen and senators are either morally tainted, which make them
prime targets for bribery and manipulation (can anyone say former
Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert?), or they are egotistical,
ambition-driven narcissists who will do most anything to advance their
careers (this is the largest group, in my opinion.)
Before ANY vote is cast in
Congress, leaders take note of the political makeup of the districts and
states that elected their representatives. Was he or she elected by a
liberal or conservative district? What are the issues at home that the
legislator campaigned on? All of this is readily known by congressional
leaders.
Heads are counted before voting
to test whether a given bill will comfortably pass or not. If there is a
comfortable margin of support for a bill, members who come from a
district with opposing views can vote according to the way that will
keep the constituents back home happy. Only if a bill’s passage is so
close that it requires members to vote against the will of their
constituents will they be asked to do so. And the ones who are
controlled WILL vote with their congressional leadership--regardless of
how much it riles up the constituents back home. Of course, leadership
has professionals that will coach the legislator on how to explain the
bad vote to the people back home. And, since most votes are not that
close, these tactics are not always required and the legislator’s voting
record can appear “very good” to the folks back home. That’s how you
come up with these congressional scorecards. When legislators vote
against their constituents on a bill, you can mark it down:
congressional leaders required the cooperation of the legislator or
senator--and the legislator caved to the pressure. That’s how you know
that the congressman or senator is controlled.
Again, there is only a small
handful of congressmen and senators who are untouchable and will vote
their convictions--and the convictions of the people they represent.
(Controlled congressmen and senators don’t really have convictions to
begin with.) Congressional leaders refer to these legislators as
“rebels.” And they are punished by not being appointed to plush
committee assignments or by being overlooked for leadership positions.
Plus, leadership will often target these rebel legislators for defeat in
future primary elections in an attempt to replace him or her with a
“team player” (meaning controlled toady for leadership).
Second, please understand that
the fundamental goal of those elitists who control the neocons is
GLOBALISM. For the most part, these people care absolutely nothing about
domestic social issues. It doesn’t matter to them one whit whether a
congressman is pro-life or pro-choice; whether he or she is “pro-family”
or pro-gay marriage; whether he or she is identified as a conservative
or a liberal. These issues don’t even enter the mind of a globalist.
They have but one goal: GLOBALISM. Accordingly, everything they promote
promotes globalism. EVERYTHING! Never forget that!
Therefore, “conservative”
scorecards are little indication as to whether a congressman or senator
is a neocon. A congressman or senator can easily have a “B” or “80%” or
better conservative rating, and still be a totally-controlled neocon.
Most of the issues on these “conservative” or “Christian” or “Family
Values” scorecards do not even grade congressman on most neocon issues,
so a high score on these rating systems means little. This helps explain
why so many Christian voters have little discernment in the voting
booth. Their entire reason for voting is skewed. Plus, don’t forget that
many of the so-called Christian leaders who put together these
scorecards are themselves controlled neocons.
So, just what is a neocon?
Remember, the goal of globalists is GLOBALISM. Therefore, here are the
issues that promote globalism. Here are the issues that form a common
denominator among neocons. When you observe your professing
“conservative” congressman or senator supporting these issues, you can
KNOW that they are, in reality, globalist-controlled NEOCONS.
*Pro-International “Free Trade” Deals
From NAFTA to TPP, these
so-called “free trade” deals are nothing more than international
loopholes that discriminate against the manufacturing jobs and labor
class of individual countries and favor the billionaire class that
conducts business internationally.
America has lost (and continues
to lose) millions of manufacturing jobs--and now even high tech
jobs--due to these international “free trade” deals. There is nothing
“free” about these “free trade” deals. Quotas are often established for
American exports but not for foreign imports. Taxes, duties, tariffs,
etc., almost always favor foreign imports and punish U.S. exports. As a
result, U.S. businesses are forced to take their companies overseas to
compete. Entire factories close down resulting in millions of displaced
U.S. workers. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Following the implementation of
NAFTA by Congress in 1994, our trade surpluses with partners Mexico and
Canada quickly became trade deficits, soaring to nearly $200 billion.
Over one million U.S. jobs were lost and illegal immigration doubled
almost immediately. Beyond that, U.S. workers that were somehow able to
maintain their jobs watched their wages shrink. That’s right, SHRINK.
In Mexico, NAFTA has wreaked
indescribable havoc. Already depressed wages plummeted. The availability
of goods did NOT increase; it substantially DECREASED. While, guess
what? Prices INCREASED. It was the passage of NAFTA that started this
entire morass the U.S. currently finds itself mired in regarding illegal
immigration.
And now neocon Republicans have
just collaborated with President Barack Obama to pass another giant
“free trade” bill, called TPP (nicknamed Obamatrade). Many people have
rightly called TPP “NAFTA on steroids.” Indeed it is. And, yes, Ben
Carson enthusiastically endorses Obamatrade. Ted Cruz also voted for it.
Not only are neocons
Boehner/Ryan/McConnell enthusiastically passing TPP, they are happily
giving “fast track” authority to Obama. This allows Obama (or any
President) to negotiate and sign a trade agreement without congressional
approval--including language that may completely alter established U.S.
laws. Subsequent trade legislation proposed to Congress by the
President would not be subject to committee markups and Congress would
have only 90 days to approve it--and floor amendments would not be
allowed.
See the report:
Support for these international “Free Trade” deals is a dead giveaway that a congressman or senator is indeed a neocon.
*Pro-Illegal Immigration
The great goal of globalists is
to blur or even eliminate national borders. National borders, and the
laws that protect them, are VERY burdensome to multinational traders.
National borders restrict globalists in their pursuit of international
wealth. They envision a global economy with a global government in place
to protect that global economy. Individual nationhood is an obstacle to
that goal.
The EU is the quintessential
prototype of the globalists’ dream of global government. Until
individual states within the United States stopped it (temporarily, no
doubt), neocon Republican President G.W. Bush collaborated with Canada’s
Paul Martin and Mexico’s Vicente Fox to establish an EU-type regional
government in North America. It was called the “Security and Prosperity
Partnership of North America” or SPP. It was also called the “North
American Community” and “North American Union.”
The goal of these so-called
“partnerships” is to erase national borders and establish regional
government over participating nations that exercise authority over the
flow of goods and services between countries. As an example, the current
TPP passed by the Republican House and Senate and signed by Obama has
copious rules that further circumvent America’s current immigration
laws. Plus, the invasion of illegal aliens from the Middle East into
European countries is facilitated by the enactment of lax immigration
policies established by the EU.
The SPP was the brainchild of
what must be regarded as the top neocon think tank of all: the Council
on Foreign Relations (CFR). And, yes, one of the movers and shakers for
this proposed EU-style regional government in North America was CFR
member Heidi Cruz, wife of Senator and Presidential candidate Ted Cruz.
Thankfully, public pressure from
the State legislatures in Texas and Oklahoma derailed SPP. (This is
another example of how states can--and should--use their constitutional
authority of interposition to thwart the overreach of federal and even
international government.)
Another way illegal immigration
helps globalists remove national boundaries is it serves to remove a
country’s (any country’s) national culture and identity, thereby
transforming it into a “sanctuary nation.” In the U.S., this includes
removing our Christian heritage.
*Pro-war
NOTHING rings the cash register
for globalists like war. War helps to replace recalcitrant national
leaders who refuse to give international financiers carte blanche in
their countries. War helps to redraw national boundaries that favor the
global economy. War brings HUGE profit windfalls to the
military-industrial complex that is mostly in bed with high-paying
globalists. War causes citizens in free countries to accept more
governmental authority (which ALWAYS includes an international
component) over their affairs that would never be the case in peacetime.
War is also the perfect solution to resolve the economic problems of a
sinking financial system.
In this regard, religious
bigotry and intolerance makes it EASY for globalists to manipulate the
passions of people in favor of war. Pitting Christians against Muslims
and Muslims against Christians--and putting Israel in the middle--is the
current tactic favored by globalists. And, Boy! Is it ever successful!
Muslim terrorists, the Israeli army, and the U.S. military are pawns in
the hands of the globalist elite (yes, globalist facilitators can be
found in London, Ankara, Tel Aviv, Riyadh, and Washington, D.C.) who are
using the neocons in Washington, D.C., to manipulate war in the Middle
East to further their greater goal of creating war between the United
States and Russia.
Another World War would be a
HUGE benefit to globalists. “Who would win a war between Russia and the
United States?” you ask. GLOBALISTS, that’s who. And it seems clear to
me that that is exactly what the neocons in D.C. are striving for.
President George W. Bush was the
first U.S. President to be totally and thoroughly dominated by neocons.
The invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan had been planned in neocon war
rooms for years, just waiting for the right provocation. And the
continuing U.S. wars in the Middle East are every bit neocon inventions.
Yes, folks, Barack Obama himself is but a puppet of the neocons. In
truth, neocons are now thoroughly ensconced in our Justice Department,
State Department, DOD, CIA, etc.
And at this early juncture, the
only two 2016 presidential candidates who MIGHT NOT be puppets of the
neocon war machine are Rand Paul and Donald Trump--and at this point,
I’m not certain about Trump. But it is more than interesting that it is
Paul and Trump that the GOP establishment seems determined to destroy.
As one GOP adviser said recently, the Republican Party must “put a
bullet in Trump.” Now you know why.
*Pro-Police State
Freedom is anathema to
globalists; an armed citizenry is anathema to globalists. In order for
globalism to succeed, people must be restrained. They must be
surveilled. They must be regulated. They must be controlled.
The so-called War on Terror (and
the federal War on Drugs before that) is the biggest ruse ever invented
to put a Police State in place. False flag terror attacks, a plethora
of seemingly “random” mass shootings, and a perpetual media barrage
against the right of citizens to defend themselves are all tactics of
globalists to reduce liberty--and increase government dependence--in a
nation.
Neocons are the ones who are the
loudest cheerleaders for war in the Middle East, increased surveillance
of the American citizenry, the militarization of our local and State
police agencies, and antagonistic policies against Russia.
Look at the congressional votes
for The Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, NDAA (especially
sections 1021 and 1022), NSA spying, etc. Look at the voting records
regarding bills or amendments that would stop the federal government
from supplying military armament to our local and State police agencies.
You will find that the vast majority of our current presidential
candidates, and perhaps even YOUR congressman and senators, voted to
facilitate the burgeoning Police State in our country. Folks, these are
neocons.
*Pro-Deficit Spending
Neocons support deficit
spending. In this, they are far worse than overt liberals. For example,
liberals in the Democrat Party want to tax-and-spend, while neocons in
the Republican Party want to borrow-and-spend. Between the two, deficit
spending is worse because it gives the federal government (and the
globalists who influence and leech off them) unlimited spending--and
thus unlimited profits. Beyond that, the inevitable result of
unrestrained spending is WAR: globalists’ biggest cash cow of all. They
win coming and going.
Notice how neocons John Boehner
and Paul Ryan (with support from the vast majority of congressmen from
both sides of the aisle) so quickly and easily raised the federal debt
ceiling again--and for, not one, but TWO YEARS. This, in essence, gives
Barack Obama his ninth year in office. Why would they do this? They are
neocons, that’s why.
So, folks, forget party labels.
Forget the left-right, liberal-conservative paradigm. These are the
issues that neocons in Congress are using to drive national politics
today--and these are the issues that are killing independence and
freedom in the United States.
Folks, keep this list and use it
to gauge your congressman and senators, as well as our presidential
candidates. No matter what they call themselves, if they support these
issues, they are NEOCONS.
