You Don’t Believe We’re On The Eve Of Destruction

WHEW . . . I NEVER EXPECTED THE RESPONSE I GOT!

As Of The Writing Of This Editorial, Galganov.Com Received 39-Comments On The New Sunday Quickie Format, and so Many Supportive Emails, that I Spent Better than an Hour Reviewing them All.

The Common Theme Was . . . Keep Going – We Love The Sunday Recap Of The Current News, and it Gives us a Great Jump Into the New Week. The Other Comment that Got my Attention Dealt with Future Regular Editorials, Worrying that I Might Replace My Comprehensive Editorials with More Shortened “Quickies” . . .

The Short & Concise Answer Is No – Nothing Will Change – Except, What I’ve Done is Add Another Aspect to Galganov.com, Giving Me an Additional Obligation to the Readers, While at the Same Time, the New Sunday Format Opens a Personal Venue for Me to Vent Without Creating an Even More Far-Reaching Work-Load.

I Really Think I’m Going To Enjoy Doing The Sunday Quickie Format.

My Apologies for Not Returning Replies to the Many People who Emailed Me their Support for the New Format . . . There were just Too Many Emails for me to Respond . . . So Please Accept This Group Thank You For Your Support.

IN 1965, AT THE HEIGHT OF THE VIETNAM “POLICE ACTION” . . .

Barry McGuire Released his Iconic Anti-War Ballad Written by PF Stone  . . . You Don’t Believe We’re On The Eve Of Destruction Amidst Global Turmoil, as Young American Draftees were Dying while Fighting an Undeclared War Thousands of Miles Away from Home – Somewhere in South East Asia in a Little Country No-One Had Ever Heard-Of Before the Police Action Began.

The “War” in Vietnam Pitted America Against North Vietnam (Russia) for About 10-Years (1964 – Gulf Of Tonkin Until 1973) Without Abatement Between The Start & The End Of-It.

This Conflagration Was Never Declared A War In The US Congress, which Killed About 2-Million Civilians on Both Sides of the War, More than 1-Million North Vietnamese & Viet Cong Fighters, More than 200-Thousand South Vietnamese Fighters . . . With More Than 58-Thousand Dead & Missing American Troops.

THE MORE THAT CHANGES . . . THE MORE THAT STAYS THE SAME:

Thousands Of Years Before The War In Vietnam . . . Men Were Making The Same Bellicose Statements.

As I’ve Recently Written . . . If We Survive Long Enough . . . A Thousand Years from Now, the Military Parades, Weaponry, Battle Hymns, Casus Belli, the Jingoistic Speeches & Declarations Might be Different . . . But The End Result Will Be The Same . . . We Will Kill Them – And They Will Kill-Us.

This Is Not To Say That Our Fight Won’t Be Righteous – It’s To Say That It Will Be Inevitable.

It Is In Our DNA To Make War . . . To Take from Others Before they Take from Us . . . To Impose our Will on Others Before the Others Sap our Will to Resist, as they Force us to Live Under their Thumb.

There Has Never Been A Time In Recorded Human History When There Wasn’t A War.

JUST AFTER END OF WWII – EINSTEIN SUPPOSEDLY SAID THE FOLLOWING:

“I Know Not With What Weapons World War III Will Be Fought, But World War IV Will Be Fought With Sticks & Stones”.

Fighting Is In Our Nature . . . And Whether we Want to Fight or Not, that Decision Isn’t Always Ours to Make, since we are Not Necessarily the Ones Ready to Push the Envelope.

I KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO GET HIT & TO HIT SOMEONE ELSE:

I Fought In Karate Tournaments. I Fought During Hockey Games. I Even Had a Few Bar Room Fights, and I Hardly Ever Drank . . . So I Know What It Means To Fight.

This Might Surprise You . . . I Stand Four-Square For A Lethal Military.

I Am 100% Supportive Of A Tough Police Structure . . . that Carries-Out the Will of the People in a Constitutional Republican Government. I am Totally Opposed to Everyone who Decides to Play Willy-Nilly with My Freedoms. And If Necessary, I am Prepared to Do Whatever Needs to be Done to Protect My Rights & Freedoms . . . I’ve Already Proven That Multiple Times-Over.

BUT – I AM EQUALLY OPPOSED TO BELLICOSITY & THE HEGEMONY OF ONE:

There Is No Doubt In My Mind, That Sooner Rather Than Later . . . One Way Or The Other, we will Face the Ravages of War, No Matter Who is in the White House or Who Fires the First Shot . . . Since The Turmoil In The World Is Seething Beyond Control, Which Isn’t An Excuse For Trump To Stir The Pot.

IS THIS THE HISTORY & STANDARD WE WANT TO SET FOR OUR CHILDREN?

It’s Bad Enough That The Values Of Our Forefathers Are Being Buried By Thugs Of Our Own.

Canada Is Not The 51st State. Greenland is Not for the Taking. Venezuela is Not for Trump to Control. Gaza is Not Going to Be the New Arab Riviera, Qatar is a Pro Islamic (Moslem Brotherhood) Enemy to Everything We Hold Dear . . . And I Am Absolutely Repulsed By The Idea That There Will Be Extreme Fighting (MMA) On The Lawn Of The White House.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CIVILITY WE WERE TAUGHT IN GRADE-SCHOOL?

Even Though It Was Pretend During The Days Of JFK, Before & After . . . Civility is What We Taught our Children. Debauchery was Hidden Amongst the Pornographers, and Not Promoted on National Television. Nor was Violence, Misogyny & Depravity the Focus of the Music Industry.

We’ve Come A Long Way Since I Was Born In 1950 . . . Unfortunately In The Wrong Direction.

YES – WE MUST HAVE THE BIGGEST & BADDEST MILITARY . . .

Yes, It Is Inevitable, The Day Will Come When We Will Need That Military To Survive & Vanquish Our Enemies . . . But for What Purpose, if our Values are So Screwed-Up, That In The Paraphrased Words Of George Orwell’s Novel 1984 – Up Is Down, Truths Are Lies, Good Is Bad & Evil Is Righteous?

If We Are Going To Have To Fight . . . It Must Be For More Than The Deal. It Has to be for More than Just Winning to Win. It Has To Be For A Human Principle That Supersedes Wealth & Power . . . Or It Will Be Meaningless.

HERE’S A SHOUT-OUT TO THE LATE CHARLIE KIRK . . .

I Hope That What He Started (TPUSA) Doesn’t End Before We Do.

Best Regards . . . Howard Galganov
