You’ve Been Warned!… Calls for Mandatory “National Service” for Americans Aged 18-28 Has Begun…

 

This is one of the most important articles I will write all year. The
statists are coming for your kids, and the conditioning has already
begun. Last night, I came across one of the most horrifying articles I have
ever read, which is saying a lot. Before I get into it, take a look at
the title… If you think the title is bad, wait until you read the article… ~ Michael Krieger – Related articles

What
becomes evident is that this grotesque concept of forced “national
service” is being actively discussed at the highest levels of
government. What Ron Fournier is doing in his National Journal article is conditioning the public to accept something that is completely unacceptable.

Before we get to that, who is Ron Fournier? National Journal provides a bio:

Ron Fournier is the Senior Political Columnist and
Editorial Director of National Journal. Prior to joining NJ, he worked
at the Associated Press for 20 years, most recently as Washington Bureau
Chief.

A Detroit native, Fournier began his career in Arkansas, first
with the Hot Springs Sentinel-Record and then with the Arkansas
Democrat and the AP, where he covered the state legislature and Gov.
Bill Clinton.

In January 1993, Fournier moved to Washington, where he
covered the White House and presidential campaigns for the AP. 

So basically, this guy covered Bill Clinton in Arkansas, moved to the
District of Criminals after he was elected President, and now wants to
convince you to subject your innocent children into mandatory service to
a nation provably run by corrupt criminals and oligarchs.

It sure is some twisted notion of “shared sacrifice,” when those who
had nothing to do with the disastrous choices made by the oligarchy are
the ones who have to suffer the consequences.

Let’s now take this piece of Nazi-esque propaganda apart piece by piece. From the National Journal:

I know a better way to fight ISIS. It starts with an
idea that should appeal the better angels of both hawks and doves:
National service for all 18- to 28-year-olds.

Require virtually every young American—the civic-minded millennial generation—to complete a year of service through programs such as Teach for America, AmeriCorps, the Peace Corps, or the U.S. military, and two things will happen:

First of all, he confidently proclaims that this scheme will appeal
to both hawks and doves. Based on what evidence? Let me provide some
evidence against his argument based on a recent Rasmussen poll that 45% of U.S. Voters Concerned Government Will Use Military Training Exercises for Power Grab. Here’s an excerpt from the findings:

Just 20% of voters now consider the federal government a protector of individual liberty. Sixty percent (60%) see the government as a threat to individual liberty instead.  Only 19% trust the federal government to do the right thing all or most of the time.

So the American public has no confidence in government, but somehow
they are going to gladly line up to serve the corrupt oligarchy? Of
course not, which is why people like Ron Fornier want to make it mandatory. Now back to the piece…

1. Virtually every American family will become
intimately invested in the nation’s biggest challenges, including
poverty, education, income inequality, and America’s place in a world
afire.

2. Military recruiting will rise to meet threats posed by
ISIS and other terrorist networks, giving more people skin in a very
dangerous game.

This may seem like a radical plan until you compare it
with two alternatives: the status quo, which clearly isn’t working, or a
military draft,
which might be the boldest and fairest way to wage the long war against Islamic extremists.

Notice how he offers us only three options, as if that is all the
imaginative well of humanity is capable of coming up with. Forced
national service, the status quo or a draft.

Nowhere does he offer the
logical alternative of say: stop preemptively invading and destroying countries for no reason (Iraq, Libya to name a few). Perhaps then idiotic foreign policy decisions won’t create ISIS in the first place.

This is an important lesson in how statists operate. They only offer
you statist choices. Kind of like being forced to choose between a
Clinton and a Bush for President.

The Draft Act is highly unlikely to be law,
given the nation’s post-Vietnam resistance to the mandatory military
service and the relative success of an all-volunteer armed forces.

Which leads me to the year-of-service plan: It stops far short of a draft while drawing on the ethos of communal sacrifice.

Notice how he cleverly started the piece by mentioning the Peace
Corps, Teach for America, etc, and only listed the military at the end?
Pure smoke and mirrors. His entire point is to push for mandatory
military service.

No one wants to fight any more unnecessary wars to
boost corporate profits, and any statist worth his or her salt knows
full well mandatory conscription will be necessary in order to maintain
the power position and wealth of the status quo going forward.

Finally, just in case you think this is merely some hack journalist
mouthing off, Mr. Fournier makes it clear that this is being discussed
at the highest levels of government.

I spoke about the concept with retired Gen. Stanley McChrystal, who commanded forces in Afghanistan and Iraq and now chairs the Franklin Project, part
of the Aspen Institute that is trying to position a year of full-time
national service—a service year—as a “cultural expectation, a common
opportunity, and a civic rite of passage for every young American.”
His logic tracks with mine.

Second, if this president or his successor gets serious about
ISIS, McChrystal said the effort would require an international
coalition and more U.S. troops.

“Even if we didn’t need a draft”
to drum up the required troops, McChrystal said, “I would argue we need
a draft, because it forces national commitment.”

Forced national commitment to a government nobody believes in. Can’t wait to see how that works out.

“A problem in America is we’ve let the concept of citizenship diminish into a series of gripes,”
McChrystal told me.

“One of the ways we can rebuild that sense of
ownership, sense of shared ownership, is through experience, and so I
believe that every young person deserves—I don’t think this is an
onerous thing—deserves the experience of being part of something bigger
than themselves.”

national service-Stanley McChrystal

No General McChrystal, we have let the concept of democracy diminish into a corrupt, thieving oligarchy. In case you need proof: New Report from Princeton and Northwestern Proves It: The U.S. is an Oligarchy.

Furthermore, you don’t “rebuild ownership” by forcing citizens to
serve an oligarchy they hate, you “rebuild ownership” by dismantling the
oligarchy.

Bowing to political realities in risk-averse Washington, the
Franklin Project aims to make a service year a social expectation rather
than a legal requirement. I would mandate it. So would McChrystal—if he had his way.

Statists gonna state.

While ISIS and other terrorist groups are having no
trouble recruiting suicide bombers, McChrystal said, Americans are
struggling to redefine their national identity for the 21st century.

“A
year of service for young Americans would be a step,” he said. “Not a
panacea, a step.”

This paragraph unintentionally says a lot. You want to fight an army
of radical volunteers created by your own foreign policy crimes by
forcing people who have no trust in their government to join the
military? It’s an idea so stupid and destructive, only a rabid statist
could conceive it.

Before concluding, I want to emphasize how dangerous this line of
thinking is. It is precisely because I see these sorts of things coming
down the road, that I do what I do with this website.

The only way to
stop statist plans like these is to win the war of ideas before they
have a chance to dazzle you with their next bit of propaganda.

Stay vigilant and keep fighting.

In Liberty,

War is a Racket – Chapter 1

WAR is a racket. It always has been.

It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable,
surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It
is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the
losses in lives.

A racket is best described, I believe, as something that
is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small
“inside” group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit
of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few
people make huge fortunes.

Who said…

“If the state may force a man to
risk death or hideous maiming and crippling, in a war declared at the
state’s discretion, for a cause he may neither approve of nor even
understand, if his consent is not required to send him into
unspeakable martyrdom—then, in principle, all rights are negated in
that state, and its government is not man’s protector any longer. What
else is there left to protect?

The most immoral contradiction—in the chaos of today’s
anti-ideological groups—is that of the so-called “conservatives,” who
posture as defenders of individual rights, particularly property
rights, but uphold and advocate the draft. By what infernal evasion
can they hope to justify the proposition that creatures who have no
right to life, have the right to a bank account?

A slightly
higher—though not much higher—rung of hell should be reserved for
those “liberals” who claim that man has the “right” to economic
security, public housing, medical care, education, recreation, but no
right to life, or: that man has the right to livelihood, but not to
life.”

Answer… Ayn Rand
