Our Founding Fathers were adamant about avoiding international military commitments on behalf of foreign nations. Why did we fail to listen to them?
The word “empire” projects an image of a colossus built by military conquest that harkens back to the time of the Caesars and Alexander the Great. There have been many empires in the history of humanity.
A common thread with empire is a quest for great power and unwillingness to hold back on projecting that power once acquired.

He served as a battalion commander at the time the Dept of Defense covid-19 vaccine mandate went into effect. He was relieved of command for refusing to comply with the mandate. He subsequently resigned from the Army with just over 19 years of active service. Brad is an outspoken voice for truth and freedom and encourages others to join the cause for liberty and is happy to discuss the current state of the military in terms of readiness. Brad will discuss the aftermath of the vaccine mandate and the “moral injury” as well as physical injuries that have resulted. He will also talk about what he thinks in terms of military preparation for the conflict in the Middle East currently heating up and will discuss the intangibles such as the low state of morale across the force.

As a nation created to function as a republic, the United States has often been compared with the only other notable true republic; the Roman republic. Often mentioned as an afterthought to the conversation is how Rome destroyed itself through military adventurism and the economic/security overreach required to maintain their empire.
Every empire is built on a foundation of hubris, usually a consequence of leadership that came into power through deceit and political chicanery. As Rome evolved, republic turned into dictatorship where treachery, murder and despotism became a way of life.
Although the Eastern Roman Empire endured until shortly before Columbus discovered the Americas, the Western Roman Empire was all but destroyed by 476 AD, overwhelmed by the barbarian hordes allowed into the military, political and social structures of an increasingly decadent society living beyond their means. Sound familiar?
The America envisioned by our founders was never meant to become an empire. As a matter of historical fact, they railed at those seeking power and political influence through empire. They outspokenly referred to democracy as a disease to be avoided at all cost, noting that rule of law protecting the rights of individuals could exist only outside of democracy, and majority rule would in time turn all Americans into slaves of the state.
Individual rights were to be protected at all cost, and the British model of world empire was seen as a cancer against humanity; an affront to natural law and unalienable rights.
For the first time in human history, the God given right to own, rather than be property, was conferred upon the common man. The biblical role of stewardship conveyed a sense of personal responsibility inherent with property ownership that directly challenged the canons of a monarchal or caste system. Government was to own nothing beyond what was necessary for the maintenance of a free state, and was to exist for the sole purpose of protecting our constitutionally guaranteed rights; nothing else.
We were to prosper as a nation of free men unchained from foreign entanglements, and what the founders feared most; unbacked fiat money controlled by private Central Bankers.
Under this original blueprint the role of America as international policeman by use of military force was unthinkable. Only under the leadership of megalomaniacs like Theodore Roosevelt were ideas of empire advanced. The power of the people was gradually transferred to a federal behemoth (the deep state) that outgrew societal control until we now live in a virtual police state.
Over time our military went from a role of defender of our national borders and protector of our national sovereignty to that of protagonist for a global police state controlled by special interests and international financiers. Perpetual war has been normalized by the political class and the military industrial complex using threats of international terrorism; simultaneously throwing open our borders and funding our enemies around the globe.
Under “progressive” leadership our military has been “fundamentally transformed” into an absolute nightmare through WOKEness training and LBGTQ programs that destroy morale and significantly lower professional standards.
Promotions are no longer based on merit, and have become so politicized that many of the best officers and non-coms have been forced to resign for championing military effectiveness over WOKE indoctrination and Covid 19 vaccine mandates. Although we have the most well funded military in the world, our military readiness is being degraded by the day under the WOKE Obama/Obiden Administration while military recruitment and retainment is at the lowest level in decades across every branch of service.
The Clintons, Obamas, Bidens and most of the progressive members of Congress have exhibited visceral contempt for men in uniform be they military or civilian. For public consumption they pretend to support our military and police, while doing everything humanly possible to weaken and destroy them through social engineering, race baiting and demonization.
Why you ask? Because our military and police are the last best hope for a free and sovereign American “republic” in an increasingly communistic global hegemony controlled by Marxist ideologues and international banksters.
They have long seen America as the greatest threat to The New World Order and are planning our downfall by destroying our most sacrosanct institutions; family, faith, patriotism, and morality.
Our men and women in uniform are at the epicenter of the battle to save humanity and must not be compromised further if we are to survive as a free republic and beacon for the world. America, it's time to return to our roots and end the exploitation of our military for the fun and profit of the international banksters and military industrial complex
Close our borders to illegal immigration, refuse to fund and militarily support corrupt regimes, and keep us the hell out of military police actions that are sucking us under like quicksand.
