[Our] people are not a warlike nation.  It is a soldierly one, which means it does not want war but does not fear it.  It loves peace, but also its honor and freedom.

—— Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf.

       We are not a warlike people.  Quite the opposite.  We always seek to live in peace.  We resort to force infrequently and with great reluctance–and only after we have determined that it is absolutely necessary.

—— Ronald W. Reagan, July 17, 1980.

       The USS Hartford, USS Shenandoah and USS Wyoming, under orders from de facto Commander-in-Chief Andrew Johnson (a Citizen of the confederate State of Tennessee), invades Osaka, Japan, to protect American interests.

       NOTE: This is the second time the United States has invaded Japan, whereas Japan has only invaded the U.S. once, and that after having been provoked.

       War Democrat (constitutionalist) de facto President Andrew Johnson (a Citizen of the confederate State of Tennessee) signs the Specie Payment Suspension Act, ceasing the redemption of “Greenback” dollars (Bills of Credit) for lawful Money (gold and silver Coin).  This leaves 356,000,000 “dollars” in unlawful irredeemable paper notes in circulation.
