Former presidential candidate Ron Paul sits down with Alex Newman to share his thoughts on the military industrial complex, the economy, and constitutional currency.
THE MILITARY DRAFT is but another of the the 100s of 1000s of consequences of the whirlwind today's America is reaping (God's judgment upon America) thanks to the wind sown by the constitutional framers when they replaced the Bibles' immutable/unchanging moral law (including its militia system) for their own capricious manmade traditions (including their standing army):
"[B]ecause they have ... trespassed against my law ... they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind...." (Hosea 8:1, 7)
"None of America’s previous military conflicts would have occurred had the constitutional framers established biblical civilian militias per Numbers 1, governed according to the biblical statutes for warfare.
'And Yahweh spake unto Moses ... saying, Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel ... every male by their polls; from twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war....' (Numbers 1:1-3)
"This describes an autonomous militia, not a national standing army, national service, or military draft. Under King Saul, ancient Israel gave up this autonomy under Yahweh as her commander for a centralized standing army.
"The Constitutional Republic’s standing army is part of the curse God warned the Israelites about in 1 Samuel 8 that would come with their enthronement of an earthly human King—or President.
"America’s young men are kidnapped via the Constitutional Republic’s draft (when enforced) and routinely sacrificed by today’s military industrial complex. In other words, United States citizens are financing the Constitutional Republic’s ungodly conflicts not only with their tax dollars but also with the blood of their sons and daughters...."
"...The power to declare war is a serious responsibility. Why were the framers so vague in defining the parameters of war and the conditions under which it could be declared? Section 8, Clause 11 is the only place of significance where warfare is mentioned in the Constitution. Little wonder this power has been abused. Luther Martin [one of Maryland's delegates to the Constitutional Convention] protested:
'…the congress have also a power given them to raise and support armies, without any limitation as to numbers, and without any restriction in time of peace. Thus, sir, this plan of government, instead of guarding against a standing army, that engine of arbitrary power, which has so often and so successfully been used for the subversion of freedom, has in its formation given it an express and constitutional sanction….'40....
"Because the framers provided no Biblical parameters, unbiblical warfare has been the rule ever since. Following is a list of the countries bombed by the United States since World War II:
China: 1945-46; 1950-53
Korea: 1950-53
Guatemala: 1954; 1967-69
Indonesia: 1958
Cuba: 1959-60
Vietnam: 1961-73
Congo: 1964
Laos: 1964-73
Peru: 1965
Cambodia: 1969-70
Granada: 1983
Libya: 1986; 2011
El Salvador: 1980s
Nicaragua: 1980s
Panama: 1989
Iraq: 1991-2001; 2003-09
Sudan: 1998
Afghanistan: 1998; 2003-09
Yugoslavia: 1999.
"From 1945 to the present [2012], the United States has bombed nineteen different countries under the guise of defending America’s sovereignty and promoting democracy. But America is none the better for it, and not one of these countries has become a legitimate democracy – not that this would be anything to celebrate. Something is amiss. Wars fought for political gain or financial profit can only be classified as ungodly acts of aggression...."
Thank you Alex for all you do !!
