Republicans and Democrats United for Ukraine War and Government Debt

The Neocon Uni-Party Rules No Matter who is President

“This is a Biden project that goes back ten years now: we’ll completely destroy Ukraine. The idea that this is ‘siding with’ Ukraine is absurd. Anyone who really follows events knows that we're not siding with Ukraine, we have paid for hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians to go to the front lines and die.”

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson: A Republican Jekyll and Hyde

The New York Times reports, “As a low-profile, rank-and-file congressman representing his deeply red district, Representative Mike Johnson repeatedly voted down efforts to send aid to Ukraine…(h)e supported a sweeping overhaul favored by libertarians to the law that undergirds a warrantless surveillance program (FISA) that is reviled by…lawmakers who distrust federal law enforcement. But now that he is Speaker Johnson, he has changed his tune considerably…” (“As Speaker, Johnson Advances What He Once Opposed,” April 10).

The Times explains turncoat Johnson’s behavior thus: “As a steward of the federal government — his post is second in line to the presidency—Mr. Johnson has lately found himself embracing bills he once opposed in order to meet the basic demands of governing.”

Elite media define “governing” as fulfilling our assigned world policeman role by funding foreign wars with money we don’t have. This is what “responsible” governing looks like: pay billions to usurers for the privilege of renting trillions from them and bankrupting America in the process.

Our national debt is at a record high of $34 trillion. In 2022 $7.3 trillion in U.S. debt was held by foreign countries including China, Japan, India, Saudi Arabia, Britian, S. Korea, Singapore and even Israel. (In 2022 Americans owed Israel $488 billion in the form of Treasuries, one of the most liquid markets in the world, even as the American taxpayer is forced to donate billions to the Israeli treasury in the form of “aid”).

The other $27 trillion is owed to individual investors, businesses, commercial banks, pension funds, mutual funds, state and local governments, and the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank.

You and I, the taxpayers, cough up $659 billion in rent (usury) on the debt every year and it’s going up. This loanshark interest is approaching the entire annual cost of operating the US Military ($816 billion).

Less than two years ago Rep. Mike Johnson stated, “We should not be sending another $40 billion abroad when our own border is in chaos, American mothers are struggling to find baby formula, gas prices are at record highs, and American families are struggling to make ends meet…”

After drinking the Kool-Aid (which is an apparent prerequisite for whoever becomes Speaker of the House), at a news conference last month Mr. Johnson, in a fit of Neoconservative grandiloquence stated, “We understand the role that America plays in the world. We stand by our allies and we cannot allow terrorists and tyrants to march through the globe.”
