Is The American Youth Ready For Conscription?

Authored by Jay Johnson, originally posted at SputnikNews.com,

The shining future that America once had is all but a page note in the history books now. Record numbers not in the workforce, failed foreign policies and domestic strife is the new normal. And how is the brain trust in DC going to solve these problems? National service for all 18 - to 28-year-olds!

All across the land, people were smiling and laughing. World War II had just ended and America suddenly found itself to be the manufacturing capital of the world. There were plenty of jobs for the average man and the future was bright, even if you didn't have a college degree. In fact, not many people had a degree, and yet, for those that didn’t, they were still able to buy a car, a house, take several weeks of vacation a year and still be able to have food on the table. Although this was the new normal at the time, today’s new normal is something quite different.

In America today, there are close to 50 million people living in poverty and there are more than 100 million people that get money from the federal government every month. As the middle class continues to disintegrate, poverty is climbing to unprecedented levels. Even though the stock market has been setting record high after record high, the amount of anger and frustration boiling just under the surface in our nation grows with each passing day.

As an example of just how bad off joe-sixpack is these days, the WSJ notes that — “Only 38% said they could cover a $500 repair bill or a $1,000 emergency room visit with funds from their bank accounts.” A person quoted in that article said — “A solid majority of Americans say they have a household budget, but too few have the ability to cover expenses outside their budget without going into debt or turning to family and friends for help.” Further on in that article a survey noted that — “… an unexpected bill would cause 26% to reduce spending elsewhere, while 16% would borrow from family or friends and 12% would put the expense on a credit card. The remainder didn’t know what they would do or would make other arrangements.” Basically, people don’t have any money. But how can that be? Hasn’t Obama saved the American economy? Isn’t the official unemployment rate near 5 1/2 %?

To answer this question, Jim Clifton over at Gallup wrote — “if you, a family member or anyone is unemployed and has subsequently given up on finding a job — if you are so hopelessly out of work that you've stopped looking over the past four weeks — the Department of Labor doesn't count you as unemployed. That's right. While you are as unemployed as one can possibly be, and tragically may never find work again, you are not counted in the figure we see relentlessly in the news — currently 5.6%. Right now, as many as 30 million Americans are either out of work or severely underemployed. Trust me, the vast majority of them aren't throwing parties to toast "falling" unemployment.” He goes on to note another reason behind the misleading numbers — “Say you're an out-of-work engineer or healthcare worker or construction worker or retail manager: If you perform a minimum of one hour of work in a week and are paid at least $20 — maybe someone pays you to mow their lawn — you're not officially counted as unemployed in the much-reported 5.6%.” But, it doesn’t stop there. He lists the third reason — “….those working part time but wanting full-time work. If you have a degree in chemistry or math and are working 10 hours part time because it is all you can find — in other words, you are severely underemployed — the government doesn't count you in the 5.6%.” He sums up his article by saying — “The official unemployment rate, which cruelly overlooks the suffering of the long-term and often permanently unemployed as well as the depressingly underemployed, amounts to a Big Lie.”

So, there you have it. The Obama recovery is a big scam. Propaganda, some might say. A facade hiding the festering sore below the surface of polite society. But actually, it is possible to see this by just looking at the headlines over the last few years — “Five teenagers were arrested when a 600-person brawl broke out in a Florida movie theater's parking lot on Christmas night” or — “Hundreds of teens trash mall in wild flash mob”. In fact, the list goes on and on. What at one time would have been a huge talking point in the media circuit has now just become back page article. So, with the sky-rocketing youth unemployment rate, many government officials are asking what can be done. Not necessarily to provide work- but to create a safety valve for society. And it appears that the answer to this question is — “National service for all 18- to 28-year-olds”.

That’s right. It’s called national service. Not the draft, or conscription or any other word that would have negative connotations. National Service! For your patriotic duty! National Review addressed this issue when it wrote

“ Require virtually every young American — the civic-minded millennial generation — to complete a year of service through programs such as Teach for America, AmeriCorps, the Peace Corps, or the U.S. military, and two things will happen:

 

1. Virtually every American family will become intimately invested in the nation's biggest challenges, including poverty, education, income inequality, and America's place in a world afire.

 

2. Military recruiting will rise to meet threats posed by ISIS and other terrorist networks, giving more people skin in a very dangerous game.”

 

So, there you have it. Instead of creating real jobs and rebuilding America and by employing a clever use of language to not call it what it really is — forced slave labor, the brain trust in DC is going to wrap the flag around more failed foreign policies to make sure that everyone suffers. Just like Status Quo sang in that song —“A vacation in a foreign land, Uncle Sam does the best he can.You're in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now. Now you remember what the draft man said, nothing to do all day but stay in bed. You’re in the army now, oh-oo-oh you're in the army now.”

So, what do you think, “Are the American youth ready for conscription?”

Conscripted?  To do what?

They won't do it because they won't be able to pursue pointelss wars that involve spending trillions on bombs and other hardware while sacrificing a few thousand kids here and a few thousand kids there who "volunteered" because they were "patriotic".

No, if they want to do conscription again it will have to be a WWIII all out gambut that will go nuclear.

They'll drag along with the current bread and circuses while getting the desperate or foolish to sign up.

Some background here perhaps, from which I will excise the conclusion:

http://www.savethemales.ca/000280.html

The Red Symphony confirms that our political and cultural leaders are mostly dupes or traitors. The subversion of the United States is part of a plan for world tyranny.

An occult cabal of bankers is bent on enslaving humanity.  Most religions and groups have been subverted by the Illuminati plan to rule the world and usurp all its wealth, as outlined in The Protocols.

The common denominator is Freemasonry. A manifestation of the emerging Rothschild Luciferian tyranny is the Masonic design of the new Israeli Supreme Court building, left.

Most Freemasons and Jews are not aware of this plan, would oppose it, and are themselves victims of it. The charge of "Anti-Semitism" is used to distract us from the real issue, the creation of a global police state dedicated to projecting Illuminati wealth, perversity and power into every sphere of life.

The "war on terror" is about establishing this authoritarian control. What are they planning that requires a police state? Another Great Depression? Another "terrorist" attack? Sept. 11 demonstrates they will slaughter innocent Americans without compunction.

We have been born into the seventh or eighth inning of a nine inning Game and God is trailing badly. The Illuminati have deliberately defined God in incredible terms and thus banished Him from our universe. Instead of man striving to make his rendezvous with the Creator, we are being degraded and turned into animals, better to serve the Illuminati.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose

Until it doesn't

Gawd have you looked at young people today?   They are either obese or morbidly obese.   They couldn't do a chin up or push up if their life depended on it.   

Interesting observation.  I've noticed the opposite for sure, where my kids go to school.  There are kids running cross country and posting times at track meets that far exceed times set when I was in school 30 years ago. Same for swimming. Kids on the football team are in extremely good shape, there are better gyms and private gyms.  Overall, the young people who want to be in shape are better than ever. My son had to get under 4:40 in the mile just to make the varsity track team.  And don't even get me started on wrestling, the kids today are easily 2x better than my generation.  The list goes on and on.  I know it's easy to sit back and say Americans are so fat and stupid but at least where I live, I just DO NOT see it.  Two kids in high school and I've just attended graduation ceremonies (featuring two student bands that played with fantastic skill).  This crop of young people seem in far better shape than the "stoner dudes" who came from my generation, party kids who are largely responsible for the shit sandwich we're in now.

for the record Poroshenko and almost all of the Ukrainian oligarch who pilfered all the $$$s out of the country and are neck deep in corruption are all Jewish, so not Nazis. Right Sektor is far-right but only a small percentage of the government. Sure a lot of the peasantry lean right but they will be dealt with once the war situation is figured out.

I really wish I knew why my 18 year old thinks someone owes him something snd refuses to work and thought that I was gonna let him stay up all night and sleep all day and steal from others to get ehat he wanted. A stint in jail Was an eye opener. So again good luck getting them to serve and leave thier gsming system

"White millenials voted against it, get your facts straight."

I doubt thats true. Lots of whites had voted for barry. During the elections there where lots and lots of white drivers with the Obama bumper stickers. I am pretty sure they all voted for Barry. Lots and lots of Young people at public places (bars, resturants) all spoke of strongly supporitng barry.  unfortunately lots and lots of young whites are socialists leaning to communist. None that I spoke with understood anything about simple economics. They all want 6 figure salaries doing nothing. The only Mitt supporters were a few old white folks and pickup drivers (with Mitt bumper stickers).

"gnome filled magical land"  you hit the nail on the head.  I almost pissed myself.  Its no wonder that the public schools eliminated shop and forced all the boys into home economics instead of forcing the girls into shop.  Can't have a population able to build and fix things on their own can we now.  Not to mention teach chemistry in such away that you can't see how it applies to daily needs.

Teach for America is a total scam.  I admit to being prejudiced against pro-corporate schemes to get rid of teachers and turn teaching into a low-paid customer service job, but I know a couple of people who got into Teach for America and were aghast at what they experienced.

Basically, they got a few weeks of training.  The training was rote drilling of how to parrot a standardized, uniform, corporate-generated curriculum.  No deviation from the metronome was permitted; no time to explore subjects; strict adherence to the curriculum and the timing was all that was permitted.  Then they were dumped into classrooms completely unprepared to deal with kids or the real-life situations that unfold in the schools.  Whenever they encountered a problem, they were told to recite the scripts they had been given.  Naturally, it was a total failure and most of the trainees quit.

It's just another attempt to divert public education funding into corporate hands.  I believe the word is "Fascism."  And it will yield the same wonderful results as we've seen in Higher Education, Healthcare Finance, Housing Finance, Retirement  Finance, Auto Finance, Public Works Finance, Energy, and every damn thing else we've allowed to be subsumed by corporate finance interests.  Quality goes through the floor; prices go through the roof; and the workers and "consumers" are denied either their pay or what they're paying (through the nose) for.

One thing is certain. If it’s national service or some other need the rulers have to make war, to make money, to destroy the culture and to persecute the people, the U.S. Supreme Court will be the weapon.

And the connection between the international financiers - owners of the Fed - and the obvious support for Supreme Court power has become a Jewish issue. Think Obamacare, think gay-marriage.

Presidential hopeful Ted Cruz, opposing the Supreme Court’s decision on gay marriage, said the justices are power pushing elites, and there are no Protestants on the court or evangelicals to represent the vast U.S. population.

It’s too bad that candidates for president can’t level with the people and use direct truth to back their positions. Why doesn’t Cruz step out and admit that not only are there no Protestants on the court, there are four Jews> And combined with a weak puppet of the Jewish Lobby, Anthony Kennedy, they have a Jewish majority.

Even Jewish spokesmen admit that Jews are heavy supporters of homosexual power along with other liberal causes in their drive to create a multicultural, divisive society where only Jews operate as a cohesive, like-minded powerful group.

Here’s an explanatory paragraph from Jews and the Democrats: Reflections on the 2004 Election”:

This culture clash between Jews and the idea of a white, Christian America was described some time ago by Charles Silberman who noted that American Jews believe that “Jews are safe only in a society acceptant of a wide range of attitudes and behaviors, as well as a diversity of religious and ethnic groups. It is this belief, for example, not approval of homosexuality, that leads an overwhelming majority of American Jews to endorse ‘gay rights’ and to take a liberal stance on most other so-called ‘social’ issues.” American Jews continue to be on the left of this cultural divide, and it is this liberal stance on social issues that puts Jews firmly in favor of the “bluing” of America. And the Democratic Party is not about to change its attitudes unless it wants to alienate its Jewish constituency. As Marc Stern, assistant executive director of the American Jewish Congress, phrased it in a recent Forward article, "Most Jews are much more liberal than the rest of the population. On abortion, on homosexual marriage, on premarital sex, Jews are fundamentally different than everyone else except the most secular. There's nothing the Democrats can do to appeal to people who are religious without alienating that part of their base."

2. When the psycho bit doesn't work, get a student deferrment like the gun happy patriot Ted Nugent did.

3. Get out of the country like a lot of famous movie stars like Sylvester Stallone did.

4. Stay in the country, fight the draft and eventually go to fucking prison for avoiding the draft.

5. Get drafted and serve your fucking time and count down the days until you can get the hell out of the military.

Bottom line: Shit your pants, get a student deferrment, and preach to everybody else about what a gun happy patriot you are.

I "avoided the draft" in 1969 by taking a test to get into the Air Force. Ended up getting over a years worth of electronics training which enabled me to make several million dollars since that time in the technical field.

I remember when being inducted into the military on November 21, 1969 - a bunch of dudes all sitting in a hallway across from each other.

There was this cross-eyed redneck looking muthufucker across from me on the bench on the other side of the hallway... and he asked me: "What're you goin' into?"

I told him "The Air Force".

He looked at me with these goon eyes and said... "You fuckers! You ain't nuthin' but a bunch a fucking queers! ME? ME? I am goin' in the MARINES, ya mutherfucker! I am gonna get in there, and I am gonna get me a gun, and I am gonna learn how kill somebody! So you go phuck yerself, lettle queer!"

To tell you the truth, I don't know what happened to that dude because I never saw him again.
