The 1823 Monroe Doctrine and its First Consequences for Global Politics: The Making of the U.S. to be a Global Empire
The Doctrine (1823)
James Monroe 5th US President
Dr. Vladislav B. Sotirovic
The doctrine was presented by the 5-th U.S. President James Monroe (1817−1825) in 1823 as an official warning to (West) European powers that any European policy of imperialistic expansionism on the ground of the Americas (North, Central, and South or Anglo- Francophone and Latin, i.e., Spanish & Portuguese) was going to be taken into account by Washington as a threat to the U.S. national interests. In fact, the doctrine proclaimed the Americas as the sole business of the U.S. without any involvement or/and interruption from the outside world. In other words, James Monroe proclaimed the exclusive U.S. economic, financial, and geopolitical rights to deal (exploit) with the Americas (including Canada as well). The doctrine was later extended with practical consequences by both 26-th U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt (1901−1909) and 28-th U. S. President Thomas Woodrow Wilson (1913−1921) who used it to formally justify American imperialistic policies in several countries from Latin America from Mexico to Colombia.
James Monroe (1758−1831) was the U.S. Democratic Republican statesman and the U.S. President. He is remembered for two reasons: 1) In 1803 being a minister to France under U.S. President Jefferson, he negotiated and finally ratified the so-called “Louisiana Purchase”, by which a large territory formally owned by (Napoleonic) France was sold to the USA (as Napoléon needed extra financial sources for his wars in Europe); 2) However, James Monroe is mainly remembered as the creator of the Monroe Doctrine which, in fact, drafted the U.S. imperialistic policy in the future.
The Greatest Sin
By Arthur
I, Arthur wasn't a bad man, not cruel, not malicious. I lived 60 years a quiet life worked married raised kids paid taxes went to church, a good man I thought. As I took my last breath a calmness enveloped me, I had lived well, heaven awaited. A warmth like morning sun greeted me, I opened my eyes. Before me stood a magnificent gate pearlescent, shimmering. A piece I'd never known filled me. This was it, this was home. A figure bathed in light approached, androgynous, powerful yet comforting. "Arthur", the being spoke voice like windchimes. I fell to my knees. "Have I lived a worthy life?" I whispered. Fear, a tiny tremor in my voice. The being smiled, not a blinding grin, but knowing, sad. My Heart stuttered.
The being opened a book, ancient leatherbound. "Arthur Son Of..." The Voice trailed off reading, then looked up. "We have watched you..." My confidence wavered. "Watched?" Why that tone? "I, I tried to be good", I stammered, the warmth around me chilling slightly. I felt a coldness grip my insides. What was happening? The being closed the book with a soft thud. You were kind Arthur, honest, loyal... I dared to breathe again, but the being continued, voice dropping. "You wasted your life." My blood ran cold. Wasted? "You had potential Arthur a gift to inspire to create to uplift." The being looked into my soul. "You chose comfort, ease, and in that choice you sinned." Sin? I have never stolen, never killed. My Mind raced. I had dreams once to write, to paint, but life got in the way, responsibility. Was that a sin not to chase a dream? I looked up pleading in my eyes.
The Rise of Bifurcation and Implosion in America and NATO
A complex web of covert activities that have shaped global politics
By Tracy Turner
NATO America Project Paperclip bifurcation control relations international influence dominance power global MKUltra hegemonism.
Bifurcated America after the Civil War was indeed reborn as FBI CoIntelPro and OSS/CIA Project Paperclip - both Programs were and still are America's dark, illegal, bifurcated underbelly. If you don't think CoIntelPro does not affect you today in 2024, go to your Pod Cast, Car Radio, Web News or Cable TV and get your daily dose of Pro and Contra LGBTQ+ divisive brainwashing. All media in and around America is intentionally designed to not just divide you from me and vice versa, but to divide you within from you. Your daily dose keeps you too divided and too confused to realize, the Department of the Navy, Office of Naval Intelligence has monitored all your keystrokes for the last 29 years. Your right-brain and left-brain hemispheres are bifurcated daily by FedGov.gov, using your tax dollars to do so. CoIntelPro, Mother Expletive!
There has been a noticeable trend towards bifurcation within America and NATO in recent years. This phenomenon is characterized by a growing divide between different factions or groups within these entities, leading to increased polarization and discord.
The Coming Months of Crazy
By David Swanson
Whether or not Frank Zappa ever really said it, politics is indeed the entertainment division of the military industrial complex. It is the circenses of the panem et circenses, the circuses of the bread and circuses.
As we normalize genocide, increase the risk of nuclear war, lock in climate collapse, and accelerate the bioweapons tinkering that probably caused the covid pandemic, we are yet again presented with another most important election of our lifetime. Which geriatric sociopathic servant of the MICIMATT — the military industrial congressional intelligence media academia think tank complex — do you choose to identify with, deny all evidence against, and cheer for as a savior worthy of imperial powers no person should ever hold? Is it the guy who wants and has overseen massive increases in military spending, or the guy who wants and has overseen massive increases in military spending? Is it the guy who lied that he would end the war on Afghanistan or the guy who lied that there was some point evil enough at which he would end the war on Gaza? Is it the guy who badgers nations into buying more weapons or the guy who badgers nations into buying more weapons? Is it the guy who evicted Russian diplomats, sanctioned Russian officials, put missiles practically on Russia’s border, lobbied European nations to drop Russian energy deals, left the Iran agreement, tore up the INF Treaty, rejected Russia’s offers on banning weapons in space and banning cyberwar, expanded NATO eastward adding Montenegro as a member, added a NATO partner in Colombia, proposed adding Brazil, splurged on more nukes, bombed Russians in Syria, oversaw the largest war rehearsals in Europe in half a century (now outdone), condemned all proposals for a non-NATO European military, and insisted that Europe stick with NATO, or the guy who outdoes all of that, blocks peace deals for Ukraine, and claims the first guy is a servant of Russia?
“Once, there were forests . . .”
The state of the forests, deforestation, and what we can do about it
By Kersasp D. Shekhdar
Deforestation at warp speed
Up until about the Industrial Revolution, deforestation—if it could be called that—used to be a not unnatural consequence of man’s need for timber, the expansion of human settlements, and slash-and-burn agriculture which has been practised since the Neolithic Age and is still used by indigeous or nomadic peoples and settlers. Forests have been cleared “to make space for agriculture and animal grazing, and to obtain wood for fuel, manufacturing, and construction.” Further and other drivers of deforestation vary from one geographical region to another.
Fully a third of the planet’s forests, comprising two billion hectares, have been destroyed since the Great Ice Age but the pace of deforestation has not been even—far from it. The rate of deforestation has accelerated exponentially such that, according to the World Wildlife Fund, “the fastest rate of forest destruction has been in the past couple of centuries,” as “up to 15 billion trees are now being cut down every year.” While the first half of total deforestation took place over nearly 100 centuries (from 8,000 B.C. to 1900), the second half occurred in the blink of an eye within only the past one century, culminating in the 1980s with no let up (unless one is to fall for corporate-sponsored happy statistics).
U.S. Funds Ukrainian Organization That Creates List of U.S. Citizens Opposing Weapons to Ukraine
Roller Coaster
From Trumpists to Communists. The forces in the
U.S. impeding aid to Ukraine and how they do it
By David Swanson, World BEYOND War
Here’s a list produced by a Ukrainian group with limited knowledge of the United States, a group that is listed as an “Implementing Partner” of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)’s Transparency and Accountability in Public Administration and Services (TAPAS) Project.
I find it unfortunate to read my name on a list of supposed opponents of something good for Ukraine, because I wish everyone in Ukraine peace, safety, freedom, and prosperity. The sole criterion for the list is apparently opposing dumping more U.S. money into weapons for a war in Ukraine. It doesn’t matter if you oppose spending money on anything and everything and war is just one of those things, or if you oppose all sides of all wars and the Ukrainian side of a war is just one of those. This last category, the one I’m in, is presumably what the list makers mean by “peace activists” — which they presumably put into quotation marks to express the belief that the best path to peace is through war.
But this whole idea is odd for a number of reasons.
Free Yurii
By World BEYOND War
Yurii Sheliazhenko is facing trial on June 11 and the possibility of 5 years in prison for speaking in support of peace in Ukraine. Yurii has been formally charged by the Ukrainian government with the crime of justifying Russian aggression. The evidence is this statement which explicitly condemns Russian aggression.
Please sign and share this petition to the Ukrainian Government:
We call on you to drop any legal proceedings against Yurii Sheliazhenko, and to respect human rights, the right to conscientious objection, and the right to freedom of speech. The absurdity of prosecuting someone for justifying Russian warmaking on the basis of a statement in which he has explicitly condemned Russian warmaking, is matched by the absurdity of waging war in the name of freedom and democracy while engaging in this sort of harassment of citizens. We urge you to do better.
CYABRA: THE INTELLIGENCE CUTOUT WAGING ISRAEL’S ONLINE PROPAGANDA WAR
MintPress News’ Lowkey, one of the United Kingdom’s most prominent and outspoken opponents of the Israeli onslaught against Gaza, has been under attack. In May, The Daily Telegraph, one of Britain’s largest newspapers, published a report claiming that Russia, China and Iran were boosting the rapper’s messaging on social media “in an effort to stoke division” and manipulate public opinion across the country.
Central to the Telegraph’s claims is a report by tech firm Cyabra, which asserted that 11% of profiles engaging with him on Twitter were fake, implying that an organized bot network was artificially amplifying his messages.
Yet what the Telegraph failed to inform readers was that Cyabra was not just “a tech firm specializing in countering disinformation online,” as it claimed, but an Israeli company founded by military intelligence officers, half of whose employees have left to rejoin the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) to fight in Gaza – and one that continues to openly work with Israeli military intelligence to this day.
Instead, the Telegraph allowed Israeli government officials to assert unchallenged that the United Kingdom was under “threat” from pro-Hamas organisations that are operating all across Britain with a clear purpose to impose Sharia law and to make Britain a Muslim island” and to advise that authorities must be “far more aggressive” against these “enemies” that threaten British values and the British way of life.
Ben Carson appears on extreme leftist show 'The View' with an important massage
Editor thepeoplesvoice.org
For Americans who love their country and see the terrible direction it's being dragged in, this episode of The View with Ben Carson will be stressful to watch. To hear Ben's important message, it will be necessary to endure the usual leftist media lies and accusations. It's apparent that the country is dangerously divided between those who want to preserve our American values, freedoms, and quality of life, and those deceived by lying liberal democrats and the globalist media. It's depressing to realize that so many Americans don't see what's being done to their country and actually side with those who are destroying it.
The eloquent and brilliant Ben Carson compromised himself to appear on The View in order to reach as many Americans as he could with an important message. He went where he was needed most and appreciated least, where people are at the lowest level of understanding about the present state of their country. He entered a studio full of angry arrogant closed-minded liberals in order to reach those viewers who need to hear what he has to say, Americans who have been brainwashed by leftist media lies and propaganda.
Religious Diversity of the Middle East
Dr. Vladislav B. Sotirovic
The Middle East is commonplace from which three global religions originated: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. All three confessions recognize the Prophet, Abraham.
Judaism
Judaism is a monotheistic religion of the Jewish people, i.e. with a belief in one God and foundations in Mosaic and rabbinical teachings. The Jewish people have been asked to accept the worshiping of one God instead of many (polytheism). The will of this one God, the Creator, is expressed in the Torah – the first five books of the Bible (the Pentateuch) which contains the Ten Commandments. Such Jewish monotheism was later inherited and adopted by both Christianity and Islam. The essence of Judaism is that the Jews believe that as a result of the agreement between God and Abraham, they as the Chosen People have a unique relationship with God. Besides, they believe that the Messiah is going to be sent by God with a mission to collect all peoples of Israel in the promised land and bring everlasting peace to Earth. The Christians, but not the Jews, believe that Jesus Christ was such a Messiah.
