       While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Republican (fascist/socialist) de facto speaker J. Michael Johnson, Esq., of the house of representatives, speaking to the Republican Jewish Committee, says:

       It is an important principle that America and Israel stand together resolutely.  That is part of who we are as a country.  It’s one of our founding principles.  I believe that we maintain peace through strength, and I think that the relationship with Israel is essential to who we are as Americans.

       Question: Where in the unanimous (Declaration of Independence)—the founding document of the united States—are “foreign alliances, attachments, and intrigues” recommended as a principle?

       NOTE: Although Johnson used the word “country” here, the editors believe that he meant to use the word “nation,” in which a central government, with almost limitless power, treats its constituent states as mere enclaves, provinces, or sub-divisions of its greater self; as opposed to “Union,” which is a union of sovereign States under a federal system, with a central government whose powers are strictly limited by a respected Constitution.
