Time to Retire Old Glory

…by Gordon Duff, VT Sr. Editor

A war is coming.

Boogaloo is Police. Other militias turn to them for protection. Dozens of Michigan police, members of Boogaloo, are under investigation for planning to murder lawmakers.

A war is coming.

The death of the flag, and it is certainly dead now, is a call for an armed revolution to overthrow the tyranny that has been imposed and the new tyranny that is threatened, or so Thomas Jefferson told us all when he turned in his first draft of the Declaration of Independence.

The American people are trying to have an election to save themselves. However, every intelligent American is aware that foreign intelligence agencies controlled by gangsters in Israel, Russia, Ukraine and elsewhere put Trump in office and will do anything to keep him there.

We get the warning every day from our intel sources claiming Trump’s backers may kill Biden and even kill Trump, as they seem to believe he has gone even crazier than he was before.

This is why the FBI is investigating ties between the police mob, the Boogaloo Boys and their other nazi incarnations and the foreign money men who are trying to organize another stolen election.

I am restricted on what I can say but, originally, VT was thought to have ‘right wing’ ties because of our close relationship with some groups in Russia.

Trump’s masters or partners, you decide, think the cops and hillbillies and their meth dealing friends with their endless supply of illegally owned AR 15 rifles can terrorize the United States much as the gangs did during the border wars that were the ‘opener’ for the Civil War 1861-65.

Their gun toting truck convoys, filled with off duty police, are planning to cruise our neighborhoods, keeping us in check.

These gangs of police thugs and morons have chosen the American flag as one of their symbols of oppression.

What Americans face if this election is stolen, is minority rule for decent Americans by a minority of ‘white only’ vermin. They will use the police and the Department of Justice to enslave us all.

COVID was the beginning, they have a big one behind this one, one that will take deaths to 35% and ages down into the 40s. Do you think they plan only to kill people of color?

Do you really think the Kosher Nostra is in love with ‘white folks?’

This is why we the people turn to the Declaration of Independence. That document, in its entirety below, is the one America is built on, not the one it is governed from, shamefully. Americans are now being required by Presidential command to become terrorists, racists and war criminals.

Backed by international gangsters and with an army of radicalized neo-nazi thugs at our throats, Trump and company, the Kosher Nostra, the most recent incarnation of the Moloch worshipping freaks of Europe’s degenerate ‘black nobility’ from which the Drumpf family derives power, we all live under threat.

There is no one to protect the American people with Boogaloo thugs running our police and a military bereft of leadership and honor.

This is what Jefferson said, words embraced by America’s Nazis who, as with everything else, get things totally opposite of reality as with Qanon:

We hold these truths to be [sacred and undeniable] selfevident, that all men are created equal and independent; that from that equal creation they derive in rights inherent and inalienables, among which are the preservation of life, and liberty and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these ends, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government shall become destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes: and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, begun at a distinguished period, and pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to [subject] reduce them to arbitrary power, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. –(full text below)

Words like ‘equality’ or terms like ‘consent of the governed’ are gone, we now live with engineered chaos and mob rule and oligarchy brought about by a bad constitution which bent overboard to protect the bankers and big land owners, the bond thieves and speculators.

The people of the United States were given the House of Representatives, and even that has been destroyed by gerrymandering.

The rich were given the Presidency, the Senate and the Supreme Court, all put into existence to protect the rich and their money and to let them make more by warring on the world using the blood of the poor.

This is the truth of it and Trump is the last straw.

When I saw the video of burning wheat fields in Syria with American flags flying high on MRP vehicles (supplied by Joe Biden), done by orders of Donald Trump, I knew America was done, or at least the flag.

More than 5 decades ago I remember returning to a remote outpost in South Vietnam, seeing that flag waving. It was besmirched even then but it was still revered. Clanking along mud and clay covered rice paddy dikes, gear waving to and fro, we were the last American citizen soldiers to go to war. I wrote about this in a recent NEO.

We’ve done it. I don’t really mean me. I am not part of that ‘we’. I am a combat vet, served in Vietnam and, for the most part, give away many times what I earn. I don’t take anything.

I am part of that real one percent in America, those who paid workers a decent salary, pay full health insurance and maintain decent working conditions.

If the number is higher, I haven’t seen it.

Why does OG need to go?  The answer is simple, it has become the chosen cape and banner of thieves, bigots and racists. None of us who supposedly fought for this piece of cloth intended it to be used the way it is now.

Truth be told, most Americans cringe when the see the flag anymore. Comments?

It didn’t survive hugs from pedophile Trump and his disease ridden kisses.

It was never meant to sit on the back of a boat or pickup truck next to the Trump banner, a confederate flag or to be besmirched with a swastika.

The last thing any of us need to see is for it to be butchered with blue stripes to celebrate those who murder our citizens.

How many of you are aware the Boogaloo Boys are police? This is a police organization and, here in Michigan, up to 1000 police belong to this group, with their Hawaiian shirts and feelings of extremely misplaced superiority.

Are they here to fight ‘Antifa?’

I checked. Our entire state ‘Antifa’ organization is in Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti. It has 20 members. What do they do? They run a food bank and soup kitchen for the homeless.  

One thousand armed Boogaloo paid by our tax dollars are sworn, on behalf of fascism, to wipe out the 20 member Antifa force. None of the members own guns, ‘Antifa.’ The police own plenty and the head of the BG boys actually has visited us to buy them, a certain sheriff from Hastings, Michigan. He is a Chet customer.

When we see Trumpists or watch him, all we, and the ‘we’ are talking about is reflected in the polls, feel we are looking at people who hate America. Trump is the symptom of a disease that started long ago when we began being overrun by Israel worshipping Molochists.

The Puritans were bigots, they came to America because there wasn’t enough religious oppression in Europe.

Now we have millions who worship the idea of turning America into a European society, yet none of them have been to Europe. Many of us who work in diplomacy (for several of us at VT, we are still members of the UN Human Rights Council, which Jim and I have addressed several times.)

Frankly put, we are put on earth to serve, not take. No salaries here at VT, the FBI was flabbergasted. They spent months taking VT apart financially. Several of our competitors have budgets up to $15m per year. Breitbart gets several times that.

Trace that money, Mr FBI man!

What is it ‘we’ want?  We want to live in a world where people aren’t judged by the color of their skin, this above all.

This is why I hate the GOP. It has always been a ‘one trick pony,’ though it has tried to militarize abortion as well, but with little success. Trump has one issue only, he has openly hated African Americans all his life, this above all is what his flag waving is based on, and for the rest of us, that flag is now beyond saving.

When you are driving around and see a flag do you cringe? That answer is easy, of course you do. No more pride, no more Belleau Wood and their ‘losers and suckers.’  No more real monuments:

Want to replace that with 3 fat guys with AR’s and a cop with his knee on the neck of a victim?

Why do you think all the ruckus over Confederate monuments? One of our (Carol and I) activities is visiting military cemeteries. You might be surprised how many places around the world Americans are buried, thousands of them. No Trumps. They won’t even visit.

We do.

In the corner of every small cemetery in Michigan, Ohio and around what was the United States in 1861, the stones are there, many with the markers ‘GAR’ for Grand Army of the Republic. There is no laundering of the ‘Southern Cause’ into something it wasn’t. It was about slavery and absolutely nothing else.

There were NO states rights issues, no secret oppression of the south by the London bankers who, by the way, backed the south in the war.

The war was brought on by a failure of governance. It was clear that the Declaration of Independence support a slave free nation. That a constitution was adopted that allowed slavery makes such a document ‘null and void.’ America is built on the declaration and the words ‘all men.’  It means black men, and it meant women too.

To the fake constitution, it meant white men with money and power; and we are now paying, centuries later, for the tools planted in our government to keep the London banks choking the life out of us, the Senate and Supreme Court, neither of which have anything to do with real voting or elections.

States with as few as 400,000 people have two senators while California with 49 million people…it has two senators as well. Those fake senators pick the court, and it exists to defend the banks.

This is real history.

Over my many years at VT and its precursor, now 27 years in total, there has been one policy above all, respect for human rights. There is no reason for government to exist but to protect the vulnerable from David Icke’s ‘reptilians.’

I don’t know that such things exist, but I see enough of them around with their hands out.

They are the ones who have hijacked what was once ‘our’ flag, the one that talked about ‘life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.’  Want to talk about that one?

This is Jefferson’s draft, dated June 28, 1776:

A Declaration by the Representatives of United States of America, in General Congress Assembled

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for a people to advance from that subordination in which they have hitherto remained, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the equal and independent station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s god entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the change

We hold these truths to be [sacred and undeniable] selfevident, that all men are created equal and independent; that from that equal creation they derive in rights inherent and inalienables, among which are the preservation of life, and liberty and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these ends, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government shall become destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing it’s powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes: and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. but when a long train of abuses and usurpations, begun at a distinguished period, and pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to [subject] reduce them to arbitrary power, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. —

Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to expunge their former systems of government. the history of his present majesty is a history of unremitting injuries and usurpations, among which no fact stands single or solitary to contradict the uniform tenor of the rest, all of which have in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. to prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world, for the truth of which we pledge a faith yet unsullied by falsehood.

He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good:

He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has neglected utterly to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people unless those people would relinquish the right of representation [in the legislature], a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only:

He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

[he has dissolved]he has refused for a long space of time, to cause others to be elected, whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise, the state remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within:

he has endeavored to prevent the population of these states; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migration hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands:

he has suffered the administration of justice totally to cease in some of these colonies, refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers:

he has made our judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount of their salaries.

he has erected a multitude of new offices by a self-assumed power, and sent hither swarms of officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

he has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies and ships of war:

he has affected to render the military, independent of and superior to civil power:

he has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitutions, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their pretended acts of legislation, for quartering large bodies of armed troops among us;

for protecting them, by mock trial, from punishment for any murders [which] they should commit on the inhabitants of these states; for cutting off our trade with all parts of the world;

for imposing taxes on us without our consent;

for depriving us of the benefits of trial by jury;

for transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses;

for taking away our charters, and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments;

for suspending our own legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever;

he has abdicated government here, withdrawing his governors, and declaring us out of his alegiance and protection;

he has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people:

he is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy unworthy the head of a civilized nation:

he has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions of existence:

he has incited treasonable insurrections of our fellow citizens with the allurements of forfeiture and confiscation of our property:

he has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating it’s most sacred rights of life and liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating and carrying them into slavery in another hemispere, or to incure miserable death in their transportation hither. this piratical warfare, the opprobium of infidel powers, is the warfare of the Christian king of Great Britain. [determined to keep open a market where MEN should be bought and sold,] he has prostituted his negative for suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit or to restrain this execrable commerce [determining to keep open a market where MEN should be bought and sold]: and that this assemblage of horrors might want no fact of distinguished die, he is now exciting those very people to rise in arms among us, and to purchase that liberty of which he had deprived them, by murdering the people upon whom he also obtruded them: thus paying off former crimes committed against the liberties of one people, with crimes which he urges them to commit against the lives of another.

in every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. a prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a people who mean to be free. future ages will scarce believe that the hardiness of one man, adventured within the short compass of twelve years only, on so many acts of tyranny without a mask, over a people fostered and fixed in principles of liberty.

Nor have we been wanting in attention to our British brethren. we have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over these our states. we have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here, no one of which could warrant so strange a pretension: that these were effected at the expence of our own blood and treasure, unassisted by the wealth or the strength of Great Britain: that in constituing indeed our several forms of government, we had adopted one common king, thereby laying a foundation for perpetual league and amity with them: but that submission to their parliament was no part of our constitution, nor ever in idea, if history may be credited: and we appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, as well as to the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which were likely to interrupt our correspondence and connections. they too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity, and when occasions have been given them, by the regular course of their laws, of removing from their councils the disturbers of our harmony, they have by their free election re-established them in power. at this very time too they are permitting their chief magistrate to send over not only soldiers of our common blood, but Scotch and foreign mercenaries to invade and deluge us in blood. these facts have given the last stab to agonizing affection, and manly spirit bids us to renounce forever these unfeeling brethren. We must endeavor to forget our former love for them, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace friends. we might have been a free and a great people together; but a communication of grandeur and of freedom it seems is below their dignity. be it so, since they will have it: the road to [glory and] happiness [and to glory] is open to us too; we will climb it apart from them [in a seperate state] and acquiesce in the necessity which denounces [pronounces][ our [everlasting Adieu!] eternal separation!

We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, assembled do , in the name, and by the authority of the good people of these states, reject and renounce the allegiance and subjection to the kinds of Great Britain and all others whe may herafter claim by, through, or under them; we utterly dissolve and break off all political connection which may have heretofore subsisted between us and the people or parliament of Great Britain; and finally we do assert and declare these colonies to be free and independent states, and that as free and independent states they shall herafter have [full] power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do. And for the support of this declaration we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.

Okay, we don’t get past a paragraph and find ourselves in a conundrum. We have sunk into tyranny and dictatorship, government by thieves and corporations supported by a bigoted minority who, backed by the moneymen, have enslaved ‘the righteous.’

Worse still, it isn’t enough, they want to go further.
