The Obama Administration’s strategy regarding Russia and foreign affairs has been a total disaster.
[8]
They have remarkably brought back the Cold War and placed the world at risk, all for their power plays that American citizens ignore. This issue in Syria illustrates how once politicians make a mistake, they will never admit it, nor will they reverse their policy. The entire Syria strategy was to overthrow the government’s attempt to get a pipeline through to Europe to compete with Russia to reduce its economy with regard to the natural gas it sells to Europe. This policy has led to ISIS, the refugee invasion of Europe, and a continual support with troops advising on the ground how to overthrow the Syrian government. This will lead to war because this is now totally insane. Saudi Arabia is beginning to issue bonds for the government’s budget counted on higher oil prices.
Putin has announced [9] that he will counter the US-NATO’s missile shield defense program by deploying new strike weapons that are capable of piercing the shield that the Democrats objected, which was initiated by Ronald Reagan. Putin stated publicly that that he is developing defenses against ballistic missiles to prevent Obama from attempting to “neutralize” Russia’s nuclear deterrent. Unfortunately, Obama has one year left and that is too much time to screw the world up even more.

What we need is a non-politician with brains and guts. Someone who will stop the bureaucrats in the military establishment from creating World War III. Project Northwoods [11] revealed how these people would kill American citizens and blame it on someone else just to get their military goals.

The revelation of Northwoods after the Oliver Stone movie has shed some light on the entire assassination of JFK. The problem with electing an outsider to Washington will be that he indeed would become a target for assassination by the insiders who see themselves as the defender of the faith, which is their agenda. It is like the police today; they are trained to look for the bad guys, and suspect that everyone is a criminal. Those in the military establishment are the same. Everything they see is a threat to their power. Presidents have become puppets.
They have brought back the Cold War and there is nothing that would make them happier than to create war. The Second Amendment was to keep citizens armed rather than maintain standing armies. [13] Prince Eugene of Savoy was one of the greatest generals of all time. Montesquieu interviewed Savoy for his books [14] and what came out of this encounter was the realization that standing armies provoke wars for those in power, whom felt it was a waste of money unless deployed.
On January 17, 1961, President Eisenhower delivered his farewell speech to the nation, reflecting his inside knowledge as a former General. He said:
“In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.”

Insiders have weakened and usurped our presidents. Obama got to play golf with Tiger Woods while the nation he handed to the insider crowd. We need to rethink the structure of government, but it may be simply too late.
