The 28th Amendment
The 28th Amendment
Ethical conflict, and an end to perpetual wars.
This post has been in my drafts folder for nearly a year. Quick thanks to Data Humanist for his comment last week, which gave this the nudge it needed for completion. The urgency was also stimulated when I saw that Marjory Taylor Greene had this week proposed something similar tied to further Ukraine funding on the legislative docket ($60 Billion). Curiously, she makes no mention of strings attached to Israel’s funding ($19 Billion). In her defense, it must be difficult to oppose a nation that has blackmail porn of your affairs with tantric sex gurus. If Ukraine wants unanimous loot pilfered on the backs of the American taxpayer, they need to up their blackmail game.
This post sat incomplete collecting dust in my drafts folder since last spring. Given self-evident revelations about phony and rigged elections, and the global hierarchical nature of a psychopathic technocratic order’s command and control structure that dominates national governance, it genuinely seemed wasteful to allocate time and attention to a Constitutional Amendment. However, given recent geopolitical events, and the exhausted patience of true “America First” patriots sick of seeing their tax dollars fund perpetual wars, it seemed somewhat relevant again.
As I've stated in numerous pieces over the past year, speculating about the structure of this global “cabal” no longer interests me. I’ve gone through many books about the Illuminati, Jesuits, Vaticano, Committee of 300, 12 Families, Bilderbergs, Freemasons, Rothschilds, Zionists, Satanists, Adam’s Family, Dr. Seuss, you name it. Thanks to a cousin who worked for the Chilean Embassy to the Holy See, I’ve even been behind the Vatican’s walls a few times to roam its streets and peek inside and whiff its sulfuric emitting halls.
Debating the legitimacy of various theories around secret societies, internationalists, bankers, specific races, religions, families, sects, cults, or hidden hands of shape-shifting interdimensional reptilians from planet Ork who brought the moon as a hollow container to carry out their operations of keeping humanity buried in low-frequency emotions for soul-sucking energy extraction, just seems like a waste of time. It often leaves people feeling…helpless, and I’d rather spend my time connecting historical and current events to the stated agendas (2021/2030), to offer some kind of prescription to mentally, and physically prepare for the future. Though I still believe geographic preparation will be the most essential—land, food, water, energy, and remote living in a nation that will leave you the f**k alone.
The only aspect that matters is acknowledging the existence of a “cabal” in the pursuit of individual psychological and spiritual liberation from its perceived omnipotence.
There are two kinds of slaves in this world.
The slave who sees his chains, and the slave who doesn’t.
Which kind of slave will ever have the chance to cease being a slave?
A recent post by Neoliberal Feudalism offers a worthwhile summary of the structural nature of this global hierarchy for those who still wonder why their government appears to want them aspirational enough to gain employment and be an active debt slave consumer, and obedient enough to pay taxes on time, but otherwise sick, slovenly, passive, ignorant, anxious, or dead.
One of the most effective tools of this “cabal” has historically been war and conflict, and it appears to be back on the docket for ushering in that long-planned one-world government. The wars of today, are not the conflicts of civilizations past. And the masses of debt slaves on the backs of whom these wars are engineered, are (maybe? finally?) waking up to the completely inorganic and manufactured nature of not just today’s conflicts, but every conflict going back two centuries.
War has consistently sculpted the triumphs and sorrows of civilizations. Heraclitus, a pre-Socratic philosopher, once wrote with chilling clarity: "War is the father of all and king of all; and some he has made gods and some men, some slaves and some free." The dual nature of war—both creator and destroyer, anointing rulers and binding the subjugated, delineating the divine from the damned—was once a determinant of destiny.
As the chronicles of Greek history unfolded, Thucydides's observation that "The strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must," spoke to the inevitability of dominance and power on one side of the battle lines, and sacrifice and mourning on the other. The common man will suffer the ambitions and decisions of the powerful who impose harsh realities on the powerless, often young soldiers compelled to endure the brutal whims of their elders.
By the time Rome's vast empire ascended, the cause and consequence of war had evolved little, making observations of its thinkers on this topic no less profound. Cicero, reflecting on the state of the Republic during military crises, noted, "In times of war, the law falls silent." The moral and legal void that often accompanies war dispenses with the ethical and humane. The normal rules of conduct fall away under the pressing need of survival and victory, always in the name of our God(s).
Seneca the Younger echoed these concerns amidst Rome's imperial pursuits, questioning the collective moral compass of a civilization inured to violence: "We check manslaughter and isolated murders at home, but what of war and the much-vaunted crime of slaughtering whole peoples abroad?" In the name of conquest and enslavement, justifications could be fabricated to ignore ethics and morality outside its borders.
The societal and moral paradoxes war engenders have changed little since antiquity. As battles are fought remotely, and from the skies, with no formal declarations of war or discernable enemies, historical wisdom urging modern societies to scrutinize the justifications and consequences of their martial endeavors is ignored.
For the past few centuries, wars have been engineered not for merely remaking maps or conquering territories but for mass human sacrifice and capital investments, with bankers and industrial or weapons manufacturers playing both sides of a conflict, owning and controlling corrupted leaders (or opaque groups “ISIS” created to justify conflict) to such a degree that all the world watches and cheers their “side” while sending their children to the slaughter for something resembling a performative geopolitical stage drama.
In the twentieth century alone more than 50 million European and Slavic Christians were sent their slaughter, in engineered conflicts that could have been avoided. The string pullers laughed in the shadows in the aftermath of false flags, declarations of war, and victory, as they counted their loot, rubbing their hands with blood lust.
When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and not the leaders of the government control the situation, since the hand that gives is above the hand that takes. Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency; their sole object is gain.
— Napoleon Bonaparte
Printing Widows
The American empire, much like its ancient predecessors, continues to be characterized by a stark dichotomy between the powerful, who dictate wars and reap their profits, and the powerless, who fight and die in them.
The state leverages the poor and the unfortunate as instruments in the pursuit of geopolitical strategies crafted by and for the elite. These conflicts, sustained by a corporatocracy that expertly loots the treasury, and perpetuates a cycle of debt that ensnares even more citizens into economic servitude. Public servants, whose allegiances lie with corporate benefactors, facilitate this cycle, ensuring that the burdens of war and economic exploitation disproportionately fall on the less privileged.
I have struggled for years to think of a single military conflict that was just and organic, the product of true conflict left unresolved after dedicated and exhausted diplomatic efforts (not performative!) to avoid war. I could think of none. The declared defense of nations or peoples against belligerent drunken powers as the aggressor are the only examples that come to mind.
In addition to unjust wars for profit and to justify the printing of money to transfer to a tiny specific group of people, no sacrifices have been made by those who vote to start the money printers, to initiate those wars, whether those dollars are used in wars, proxy wars, or to subsidize another nation’s conflicts. I checked the public record to see if a single Congressman or Senator’s sons or daughters were ever sent to harm’s way while their parent voted, and could not find a single case. Some have served in uniform and been deployed abroad, but none have ever been sent to the front lines to risk their lives.
What if, to declare war, authorize funding for conflict, direct or proxy, or another nation’s wars or proxy wars (Ukraine & Israel) any legislator who approves the funding, in the immediate aftermath must be sent first to the front lines, including their immediate family members, even if the U.S. isn’t directly involved militarily?
If a conflict is just, ethical, and worthy of the goals of “national defense” then these patriots must prove their claims through service. What greater proof than the willingness to vote to sacrifice one’s life? They must also back up their votes by risking the lives of those most dear to them. For the first time in two centuries, public service would truly require patriotism and love of country.
Watch how fast no conflicts are justified, funded, or declared. Watch how urgently former enemies are coddled and diplomatically accosted.
See how quickly the U.S. makes friends where they’ve been accustomed to fabricating (including funding and training) antagonists!
Firstly, you’ll find eight sections that constitute a rudimentary proposal for a 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution that would make all parties who profit from war (including legislators) think twice before funding, instigating, or manufacturing another conflict.
It would limit “defense” spending as a percentage of GDP, reduce the “defense” and “intellegence” apparti to 50% of current levels, and also prevent other nations from buying American politicians to loot the treasury and abuse its military powers. The proposal stipulates an independent non-partisan enforcement committee with DOJ-like powers, with no connections to any branches of government, and SCOTUS-like lifetime appointments to prevent private-public interference.
The justification for this amendment proposal follows with an incomplete list of U.S. military conflicts post-World War Two, including proxy wars, coups, and other foreign actions involving the U.S., mostly by indirect action, with a lack of authority by Presidents since no declaration of war was ever voted on by Congress as mandated by the United States Consitution, Article I, Section 8, Clause 11.
Concluding this list is the amount of money spent on those conflicts and in the name of “national defense” with a special section dedicated to the one “important ally” that has looted more than its share from American taxpayers while offering absolutely nothing but headaches and guaranteed future conflicts in return.
Note that the last amendment to be proposed and ratified over three decades ago was for…drumroll…congressional compensation.
Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution — "Ethical Conflict Amendment"
Preamble
Recognizing the profound responsibility of declaring and engaging in military conflict, and the inherent risks and sacrifices involved, this amendment seeks to ensure that those in positions of power within the United States government, defense contracting firms, lobbying entities, and intelligence agencies are directly accountable for decisions that deploy military capabilities and personnel. It is intended to bind the fates of decision-makers with those who serve on the front lines, thereby promoting a more judicious, ethical, and considered approach to military engagements.
Section 1. Definitions
Public Official: Any person elected or appointed to an official role within the legislative, executive, or judicial branches of the United States Government, including, but not limited to, members of Congress, the President, and the Vice President of the United States.
Defense Contractor: Any corporation or entity that enters into a contract with the United States Government to provide goods or services, including weapons and military equipment, to the United States Armed Forces or allied forces.
Lobbyist: Any individual who is employed by or works in representation of a corporation or entity, including defense contractors such as Boeing, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, etc., that attempts to influence legislative or executive action through direct interaction with government officials including but not limited to campaign contributions.
Intelligence Agency Employee: Any individual employed by an agency of the United States Government engaged in intelligence gathering, including but not limited to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the National Security Agency (NSA), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
Immediate Family Members: The sons, daughters, grandsons, and granddaughters of any Public Official, Defense Contractor executive, Lobbyist, or Intelligence Agency Employee.
Basic Training: The initial military training program that all enlistees of the United States Armed Forces are required to complete.
Section 2. Selective Service and Basic Training Requirement
Registration Requirement:
All Immediate Family Members of Public Officials, Defense Contractor executives, Lobbyists, and Intelligence Agency Employees shall be required to register for the Selective Service System. Refusal to do so disqualifies individuals from office or employment
Training Requirement:
All Immediate Family Members as defined above shall undertake and complete Basic Training within the United States Armed Forces.
All executives of Defense Contractors, Lobbyists under the age of 55, and Board Members of such entities shall also complete Basic Training and be eligible for deployment.
Section 3. Deployment in Times of War
Mandatory Frontline Deployment:
In the event of a formal declaration of war by the United States Congress, all persons defined under Section 2, including Public Officials, Defense Contractor executives, Lobbyists, Intelligence Agency Employees, and their Immediate Family Members, shall be conscripted into the United States Armed Forces and deployed as part of the initial combatant forces, and be placed directly at the front lines of conflict.
This conscription and deployment shall prioritize these individuals ahead of all other members of the military reserves and general enlistees not covered under this amendment.
Proxy War Clause:
The provisions of this section shall extend to any military engagement deemed a proxy war, wherein the United States provides substantial funding and support, including but not limited to conflicts involving Israel and its neighbors or declared adversaries, and engagements such as the conflict in Ukraine.
In such cases, the groups of individuals specified in Section 2 shall constitute the initial combat forces deployed, thereby ensuring that those who advocate for or profit from such conflicts are also the most directly engaged in the hazards thereof.
Section 3.5 Israeli Sacrifice Clause
Aid Accountability:
Any current or former Public Officials, including members of Congress, Senators, and Presidents, who approve military or economic aid for Israel, as well as lobbyists representing Israeli interests directly or indirectly (such as members of AIPAC), shall be required to serve alongside the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) in the event of any military conflict in which the IDF is engaged. This includes conflicts within Israel, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Gaza, or other areas where IDF operations occur.
Mandatory Family Service:
Immediate family members, including sons, daughters, grandsons, and granddaughters of the individuals specified in subsection 1, shall also be conscripted as frontline combatants under the same conditions. Their deployment shall be immediate and directly to the front lines of action, and ensure active participation in combat roles to the fullest extent possible.
Dual Citizenship Clause:
Any individual holding dual citizenship with Israel who the Federal government employs, or an elected representative, including but not limited to the State Department, Defense Department, and intelligence agencies, must serve in a similar capacity as U.S. Public Officials and lobbyists in times of IDF conflicts, as outlined in this section.
Enforcement:
Failure to comply with the stipulations of this clause will result in the immediate imposition of the penalties outlined in Section 4 of this Amendment, including potential life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
Section 3.6 Compensation During Deployment
Salary Forfeiture:
All individuals conscripted under this Amendment, including Public Officials, lobbyists, their immediate family members, and dual citizens employed by the Federal government, as described in previous sections, shall forgo any public service or private sector salaries during their period of military service in conflicts, whether these conflicts are undeclared, proxy, or not first specifically declared by other nations against the United States.
Military Compensation:
During their period of service, these individuals shall receive compensation equivalent to the current rate of service members in the U.S. military, pursuant to their corresponding military rank and time in service. This compensation structure ensures that while serving, their financial remuneration reflects that of professional soldiers, thereby aligning their economic experience with the typical burdens borne by military personnel.
Implementation:
The Department of Defense, in conjunction with the Treasury Department, shall implement and oversee the compensation adjustments as specified, ensuring that all individuals are fairly compensated according to military standards without disparity or exception.
Section 4. Penalties for Non-Compliance
Life Imprisonment:
Any Public Official, Defense Contractor executive, Lobbyist, Intelligence Agency Employee, or Immediate Family Member who refuses to comply with the requirements of this Amendment shall be subject to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
This penalty also applies to any person who attempts to assist another in evading the requirements of this Amendment, including falsifying records or providing false testimony.
Section 5. Ethical Oversight and Compliance
Creation of an Oversight Committee:
An Ethical Conflict Oversight Committee shall be established to monitor and ensure compliance with this amendment. The committee shall consist of members from the judicial branches, retired military officials, and civilian representatives. Committee appointments are for life and compensated at the rate of a Supreme Court Justice. Individuals will have no private or public conflicts of interest including but not limited to past employment with military or defense contractors, public service, elected office, political partisan participation, or declared party registration. All members will be rigorously tested for anti-partisanship, neutrality, ethics, and integrity. They will have the powers of the Attorney General of the United States to prosecute individuals in violation of this Amendment based on their investigations. Future appointments to the Committee will be made by the committee and not have any influence by or connection to the executive, judicial, or legislative branches of government.
Reporting and Transparency:
Regular reports shall be issued to the public detailing the compliance of all affected parties with the stipulations of this amendment.
Any attempts to evade or falsify compliance with this amendment by committee members shall be met with strict penalties, including immediate removal from and disqualification from any future governmental or military service, elimination of pension and benefits, and potential prosecution with penalties outlined in Section 4.
Section 6. Funding and Resource Allocation
Defense Budget Cap:
The annual budget for the Department of Defense shall not exceed 2% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the United States in any fiscal year.
Transparency and Accountability:
Detailed accounting of the Defense budget shall be made public, ensuring transparency down to the last dollar spent. All financial records shall be auditable and readily available for public scrutiny.
Personnel Limitations:
The number of employees within the Department of Defense and all intelligence agencies shall not exceed the current count minus 50% at the time of this amendment's ratification. Increases in personnel may be permitted only in times of war that have been declared against the United States by an external enemy.
Foreign Conflict Funding Restrictions:
Any financial aid provided for foreign conflicts must be sourced from the allocated 2% of GDP allocated for the annual national defense budget. Congress shall not vote on additional appropriations for such aid, nor shall funds be diverted from other departments or increased beyond the established cap unless an external enemy openly declares war against the United States, with the means and resources to commit hostilities. This does not apply to “terror” groups, non-state actors, or any other group that intelligence agencies proclaim to be external enemies that have declared war.
Section 7. Implementation
Regulations and Procedures:
The President, in conjunction with the Department of Defense, shall issue necessary regulations to enforce the provisions of this amendment within one year of its ratification. If the President refuses, the same penalty applies to the executive and his family in Section 4 of this Amendment.
Commencement:
The provisions of this amendment shall take effect immediately upon its ratification and shall apply to all qualifying individuals henceforth.
Section 8. Judicial Review
Supremacy of the Amendment:
This amendment is binding over any conflicting state or federal laws, and judicial review of this amendment shall be expedited by the Supreme Court to ensure its swift and uniform application.
Any Department of Justice employees refusing to enforce Section 4 of this Amendment shall be subject to the same penalties for non-compliance as the section implies.
Any Federal agencies refusing to enforce Section 4 of this Amendment shall be subject to the same penalties for non-compliance as this section implies.
This amendment aims to restore public trust and ensure the highest ethical standards govern the conduct of national defense and security policy by making those who decide or influence the decision to go to war also those who bear the highest burden of service. By directly linking the consequences of military actions to those in power, it is anticipated that the United States will engage in military conflicts only when absolutely necessary and with a clear ethical mandate. It will restore the concept of national defense.

Donald Trump (2017-2021)
Country Involved: Syria, Iran, Israel
Syria (2018): Airstrikes in response to chemical attacks; limited engagement but part of an ongoing PNAS agenda to wage wars for Israel. There were no chemical attacks by Assad, only CIA/MI6 performances of fake chemical attacks.

Joe Biden (2021-2024)
Countries Involved: Ukraine, Israel, Yemen, Iran
Ukraine (2022): Catastrophic unnecessary meat grinder (another million Slavic Christians sent to their slaughter…so far)
Israel (2023): False flag Oct. 7 stand down (human sacrifice), for Israel-funded Hamas. At least 30k dead, but up to 50k…mostly civilians. Now the U.S. is funding both sides of another conflict by releasing Iranian funds while sending tens of billions to Israel, including $9 Billion to rebuild Gaza, probably as waterfront luxury condos for Jared Kushner and other Zionist rats.
Yemen (2023): Continued economic embargo. Mass starvation.
The following is a rough estimate of how much the U.S. treasury has been looted on the backs of taxpayers to fund these (mostly) unnecessary wars, conflicts, coups, and proxy wars, many of the most recent for the benefit of only one nation—Israel.
Spending
Direct War Costs: These include specific appropriations for each conflict. For example, the Vietnam War, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and other smaller engagements.
Annual Defense Budgets: These encompass the regular appropriations for the Department of Defense, which include not only preparedness and personnel costs but also peacetime and strategic deterrence expenditures.
Adjustment for Inflation: Costs over the decades are adjusted to today's dollars using the Consumer Price Index (CPI) to give a consistent financial measure across time.
Specific War Costs (Adjusted for Inflation)
Korean War (1950-1953): Originally cost about $30 billion, equivalent to approximately $341 billion today.
Vietnam War (1965-1973): Originally cost about $111 billion, equivalent to roughly $738 billion today.
Persian Gulf War (1991): Cost about $61 billion, which is about $115 billion today.
War in Afghanistan (2001-Present): Estimated to have cost over $4.26 trillion through 2021.
Iraq War (2003-2011): Estimated to have cost over $2.5 trillion including long-term veterans care.
Annual Defense Budgets
From 1947 to 2021: The cumulative U.S. military spending in nominal terms has been over $18 trillion. Adjusting this figure for inflation provides a far higher value but is complex due to the varying rates of inflation across different years. A rough conservative estimate when adjusted to current dollars might exceed $30 trillion.
Combined Estimates
Combining direct conflict costs with adjusted total military spending provides an approximate figure. For precision, calculations would typically use specific yearly CPI data, but broadly speaking:
Direct conflict costs (Korea, Vietnam, Gulf Wars, Afghanistan, Iraq): Approximately $10 trillion adjusted for inflation.
Total military budgets including peacetime and strategic expenditures: Approximately $25 trillion adjusted for inflation.
Total Estimated Cost
Adding these together, the total U.S. expenditure on military and conflicts since the Truman administration could be estimated conservatively at around $35 trillion in today's dollars.
Spending For Israel Alone
Harry Truman (1945-1953)
$0.1 billion (mostly as loan guarantees and food aid)
Dwight D. Eisenhower (1953-1961)
$0.4 billion
John F. Kennedy (1961-1963)
$0.6 billion
Lyndon B. Johnson (1963-1969)
$3.3 billion
Richard Nixon (1969-1974)
$7.2 billion
Gerald Ford (1974-1977)
$4.6 billion
Jimmy Carter (1977-1981)
$21.3 billion (a significant increase due to the Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty)
Ronald Reagan (1981-1989)
$29.7 billion (.6% of annual U.S. GDP was sent to a nation smaller than NYC)
George H.W. Bush (1989-1993)
$18.2 billion
Bill Clinton (1993-2001)
$32.5 billion
George W. Bush (2001-2009)
$34.2 billion
Barack Obama (2009-2017)
$33.4 billion (includes a 10-year Memorandum of Understanding totaling $38 billion starting in 2019, but annual disbursements remain consistent)
Donald Trump (2017-2021)
$12.2 billion (as part of the ongoing $38 billion MOU signed under Obama)
Joe Biden (2021-present)
Ongoing under the $38 billion MOU, with annual disbursements. Plus an additional $11 Billion from November; Plus a potential $14-19 Billion more sitting on Speaker Mike Johnson’s desk.
TOTAL U.S. payments to Israel: $220.2 billion
For a nation smaller than NYC in population, and New Jersey in geography (for now).
Current Debt-to-GDP ratios of the United States and Israel:
No (s)elected representatives will dare criticize Israel or cut off the loot. Even if the United States cleaned up its act, restored its republic, withdrew its empire abroad, and focused on rooting out communist and globalist subversives, deporting 20 million illegals (never going to happen), and rehabilitating the homeland, the American people would still be hostages to a terrorist theocratic ethnostate of superior “Chosen People” that believes dangerous Old Testament fairy tales about red heifers and a third temple from a book of chaos and death which must be manifested (by them and their useful evangelical idiots) for their destiny.
