I Have Not Got Any Quarrel with Them Russians by Jacob G. Hornberger

The entire anti-Russia brouhaha has reminded me of what Mr. Mohammad Ali stated after receiving notice from his local draft board that he was being forced to serve in the United States military during the Vietnam War.

Ali declared. "I aint got no quarrel with them Vietcong."

Ali had a point.

After all, what had the Vietcong done to him or any other American??

No Vietcong had ever come to the United States and attacked civilians, soldiers, or Central Intelligence Agents or National Security Agents.

No Viet Cong had ever expressed any interest in invading and conquering the United States and taking over the federal government and the nations public-school systems.

All that they were doing was trying to win a civil war that would put the entire country under the rule of Ho Chi Minh, a declared communist.

What did that have to do with Mr. Mohamad Ali or any other American???

Oh, sure, the Viet Cong were killing United States soldiers but those soldiers were over there.

Operating on orders of the Pentagon, they had invaded a foreign land thousands of miles away from the United States.

They had embroiled themselves in another nations civil war.

They were killing people over there.

If they had not invaded, no Vietcong would have come to get us despite the Pentagons and Central Intelligence Agencys Cold War claim of a worldwide communist conspiracy that was supposedly based in Moscow, Russia, whose aim was supposedly to start knocking down countries like dominoes until they finally got the Big Domino, which was the United States.

Moreover, the United States government never enacted any law making the Viet Cong an official enemy of the United States.

And the United States Congress never declared war on the Viet Cong or North Vietnam, which the United States Constitution requires as a prerequisite for sending troops into war.

I look at the anti-Russia brouhaha in much the same way.

What have them Russians done to me???

What have they done to any American??

In fact, what have they done to the Pentagon, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the National Security Agency except to deprive them of an official enemy??

Sure, I hear that them Russians bought some Facebook ads to influence my vote in the presidential election.

I do not think I ever saw the ads but apparently they were designed to induce people to vote for President Trump over Hillary Clinton.

Whatever, they did not work on me. I voted for Gary Johnson, the Libertarian Party candidate.

What about those voters who were induced to vote for Donald Trump because of those pro-Trump Facebook ads purchased by them Russians??

Well, maybe we ought to reconsider the value of public (i.e.,government) schooling if peoples minds can be so easily swayed to vote for someone who they do not really want to vote for.

But here is the odd thing about the supposed Russian "meddling" in the 2016 presidential election.

The Russians were supporting Mr. Donald Trump because candidate Trump was saying that he intended to establish friendly relations with the Russians.

That was different from Ms Hillary Clinton, who made it clear that her attitude toward Russia was going to be one of antagonism and hostility.

Thus, Russia clearly had an interest in the outcome of this campaign. If they wanted a continuation of the Cold War, they would have supported Ms Clinton.

The fact that they supported Mr. Trump showed that the continuation of the Cold War was not what they wanted. They wanted to establish friendly relations with the United States, which is why they supported Donald Trump for president.

One can easily recognize this phenomenon in the activities of the 28-year-old Russian graduate student Maria Butina, who is now being forced to plead guilty to failing to register as an agent of the Russian government.

Mind you, United States officials are not accusing her of spying for Russia. They are complaining that she tried to befriend the United States on behalf of Russia.

After all, openly going to conferences sponsored by such conservative organizations as the Heritage Foundation, CPAC, and others and networking with members of the conservative movement is not exactly the best way to spy on the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency.

All of Ms Butinas activities point to one aim: to improve relations between Russia and the United States.

That is her real "crime."

Forcing her to plead guilty for failing to sign an official United States government registry and then forcibly deporting her is both a sham and a disgrace. She is being punished for committing the cardinal sin of the United States national-security establishment: trying to improve relations between the Russia and the United States.

No one is supposed to do that, whether American or Russian.

In fact, that is what got Mr. Donald Trump into hot water in the first place. He made it clear from the get-go that his aim was to improve relations between the two countries.

By the way, it is also what got President Kennedy into hot water with the United States national-security establishment after he gave his famous Peace Speech at American University in which he expressed his intent to establish friendly relations with Russia and the rest of the Soviet Union. (See FFFs ebook "JFKs War with the National Security Establishment: Why Kennedy Was Assassinated" by Douglas Horne.)

It is worth noting that Congress has never enacted any law making Russia an official enemy.

The United States Congress has also not declared war against Russia.

Therefore, why should any American have to treat Russia as an enemy??

What is wrong with Ms Maria Butina trying to improve relations between the two countries??

What is wrong with Donald Trump doing so??

The answer to these questions and the root of the entire anti-Russia brouhaha lies squarely within the United States national-security establishment, i.e., the Pentagon, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the National Security Agency.

These three agencies, which are the most powerful section of the United States federal government, know that the reason they were called into existence after World War II was to wage the Cold War against the Soviet Union, which, ironically, had been Hitlers wartime enemy and the United States of Americas partner and ally.

But once the war against Hitler ended, there were people who favored converting the United States federal government from a limited-government republic into a national-security state, a type of governmental structure that is inherent to totalitarian regimes, including the Soviet Union.

In order to achieve this conversion, President Truman was told that he would have to scare the "hell" out of the American people.

Thus, the Soviet Union, of which Russia was the principal member, was converted from wartime partner and ally to official Cold War enemy of the United States.

Americans were inculcated with a deep fear of the Reds, who, they were told, were coming to get them as part of a worldwide communist conspiracy based in Moscow, which is the capital of Russia.

Thus, it was fear and animosity against Russia and the rest of the Soviet Union that drove the national-security establishment and enabled it to secure ever-increasing amounts of tax largess to fund its operations through the Cold War decades.

Then, in 1989 the Soviet Union unilaterally ended the Cold War, which, in turn, shocked the national-security establishment. Suddenly,their justification for existence and ever-increasing tax largess was no longer present.

That is when they inculcated United States of Americans with a deep fear of Saddam Hussein, which lasted for about 10 years.

Then after the 9-11-01 attacks, it became the terrorists, then the Muslims, and for a time ISIS.

Sometimes drug dealers and illegal immigrants have been thrown into the fear mix for good measure.

But all those fears are transitory.

They do not compare to the fear of the Russkies and the Reds, such as those in China, Cuba, and North Korea and even Iran.

That is why the Pentagon, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the National Security Agency are hell-bent to do whatever is necessary to keep all of these nations at arms-length and viciously oppose anyone who dares to establish peaceful and friendly relations with them and the United States of America.

There is but one solution to all this fear-mongering and crisis-engendering: Dismantle the United States of Americas drastic and destructive experiment as a national-security state and restore a constitutionally limited-government republic to our land.

That would constitute a giant step toward restoring liberty, peace, prosperity, and harmony to American society.
