Fool Me Twice
Part One, The Quixotic Pipeline
Anyone who has known me for some time, is aware of my explorations into our nation’s history how that effort has reforged my positions on how and why our nation and any other nation who should chose to do so, must return to or start a new, the model of governance, our founders fought and died for, in the war of American Independence. It was a system, which, had no political parties and in fact, made sure there was no proviso to support them as a filter between the new free people of The United States of America. These parties brought trouble and those who supported independence, supported the notion of not bringing them along from their former empire. It was a government which, had well designed limited powers. The duties of that new governing body are found in the Articles of Confederation.
Keeping my matured position on governments in mind, I was recently presented with an artifact from 1983. I was graduating from college at that time and although politics was always in the forefront of living around the D.C. area, I had full faith and trust in the man I voted for president in 1980. This souvenir publication was commemorating the “G-7 Summit” in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. Its sub-title is “Summit of Industrialized Nations”.
This rare publication, was given to only those people who were part of the Summit, either by participants and their handlers or the staff of Colonial Williamsburg itself. As far as I know, this publication was available to the public, only through the hands of the media’s ability to report on it. I can say, I don’t recall ever seeing these details about the summit in the media. This probably had to do with the Marxists who had been running the big media shops since the 19th century. Ronald Reagan at face value, was a threat to repair all that American Marxists had managed to destroy in the United States. The documents that the media and the public never got see in regards to what the Summit arraigned and agreements made by the seven countries, were not available to anyone at that time. The records, marked “confidential”, are now available from the Reagan Library. In my opinion, these agreements, at the least are ex-parte of the boundaries of our Constitution and the strict powers of making treaties and at most, clear designs intended to steer us into the Globalist nightmare which, all of us now face while we are being trained on each other’s throats like mortal enemies. If these records from the “Sherpas” as they called themselves, been made public in 1983, I would never have voted for Reagan again and more than likely, I would have never participated in another election by voting or promoting one. I too, had been conned.
This expression in writing multiple parts evolved quickly after my research into the Summit itself, had me scurrying back to my bookshelves to look for impressions of “Candidate Reagan” to contrast and compare with “President Reagan”. I found enough to be disgusted and very quickly understood, why the Democrats were so eager to allow Reagan walk away with what appeared to be victories over them and at the same time, you could see how the dead party of the Republicans, used a Saul Alinsky move to get inside the so called “Reagan Revolution” and make sure it was never going to allow its feet touch the ground.
One thing you see in these books, is the same thing I warned about in my previous writings. We are always being conned by politicians. Something that jumped out at me as a repeat performance in regards to current events, was this business with Russia and a pipeline to European Countries for oil and natural gas.
Enter Secretary of State, Al Haig
While going through my books, I was reacquainted with the period in which, Al Haig, former US. Army General, was serving as Reagan’s first Secretary of State. I know when you mention Al Haig, those who were alive and paying attention to the news around the time when the assignation attempt on Reagan’s life took place, there was a mountain made out of a mole hill, when Al Haig made a statement at the White House about “being in charge” as being the weight that brought him down. A reading of Lou Cannon’s books on Reagan, is a must to see how an “insider” saw things in regards to this incident and Lou Cannon, is fair and respectful to Haig.
It is easy to see from my perspective, that Cannon, actually shows the true reasons why he was replaced as Secretary of State. In Cannon’s, “President Reagan, Role of Life Time” he writes, “Haig sought to head off conflict on the troublesome pipeline issue. While resolutely anti-Soviet, Haig also realized that the allies were determined to go through with the deal for economic reasons. He sought a compromise under which, the United States would acquiesce to the pipeline in return for an agreement of allied consultation on future technology transfers. Despite his bluster, Haig was at least a realist who valued allied unity far more than the quixotic goal of halting a pipeline.”
( page 167, Lou Cannon, “President Reagan, Role of a Lifetime” 1991, 2000, Public Affairs)
If you study Haig’s history, you will find that he was not only a Vietnam Veteran, he and his command had been involved in a horrific battle, in which there were many casualties on both sides. This was the kind of man, who knew the face of death in war and of all conflicts in recent history, the cost of a senseless war with no clear justification for the cost of so much blood and treasure. These kinds of credentials are expensive to humanity however, we are all fools to waste them when they have been used as currency to repair the damage caused by those who suffer from ignorance and the satisfying of greed.
Why do we find ourselves some forty years later, in a position that looks like the one Ronald Reagan and his Sherpas, placed us in, with the exception that, we already had many Armed Forces in their positions up against what was then, “Eastern Europe”? The tensions were already, high enough and we didn’t need to add more troops to the region as we see happening now. So, I ask the Democrats or Democrat voters, who wretch at the sound of the name Reagan, why is your president, Joe Biden, with his less than qualified and obvious anti-United States operators, engaging in what Lou Cannon, quite accurately pegged as a “quixotic” position with regards to Russia and another pipeline to Europe? How do Republicans and Republican voters feel, knowing that (as the late Telly Savalas might deliver) “Our Hero”, Ronald Reagan is the same as Joe Biden? Oh, indeed he is in this “quixotic” quest.
Candidate, Ronald Reagan, in the 1970’s, spoke differently and of ways and goals to repair the decades of destruction by Marxists amongst us, however, in closer inspection, he was also compromised in the value and power limits of our national government’s design when he was serving as President Ronald Reagan. All of our presidents from George Washington, have found themselves in a position that was too big for one person and yet, hundreds of years later, we still refuse to step up to the plate and work to fix our very imperfect union. Is our belief that things will be fixed in the next election, also “quixotic”?
Joe Biden, as president, vice president or any other office holder, has never been part of our nation to begin with. His entire career has been nothing but that of pandering to rewards for attacking people or groups as part of earning a paycheck.
Rest assured, should there be no war in Eurasia over this manufactured, “quixotic” pipeline mess, President Biden and both Political Parties in the UNited States will continue to divide us and sell us off to corporatists around the world until there is nothing left but open land to be re-settled by people from parts unknown. At this point, would not an open-minded person notice the common denominators which, are separated only by four decades of time? I can think of a few. One is the nation of Russia. Another, is oil. Might I ask that we charge them with assaulting humanity and only for their wanting to protect other global partners with their oil market prices and what is left of the “Petro dollar”? (Do I need to really name those Oil Producing nations?)
What of Al Haig? Why didn’t he fit in? Perhaps taking a look at who replaced him might shed some light on that answer.
This is VA and thanks for your time!
