Chaitanya Jyothi Museum Opening, 2000

RAMANAM
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.  Amen.

Countrymen,

ORBIS NON SUFFICIT
SOLUS DEUS SUFFICIT

The purpose of USA Statecraft: defend, protect, and preserve the Constitution of the USA, which is to say, the sovereign independence of the nation state called The United States of America.

Statecraft USA: could be the name of a conference series, one each of the series mounted by and devoted to a USA combatant command.  Thus:

Statecraft USA: Diplomatic, Financial, and War-Fighting Opportunities of the Africa Region
Statecraft USA: Diplomatic, Financial, and War-Fighting Opportunities of the Indo-Pacific Region
Statecraft USA: Diplomatic, Financial, and War-Fighting Opportunities of the European Region
Statecraft USA: Diplomatic, Financial, and War-Fighting Opportunities of the Middle East Region
Statecraft USA: Diplomatic, Financial, and War-Fighting Opportunities of the South American Region
Statecraft USA: Diplomatic, Financial, and War-Fighting Opportunities of the North American Region
Statecraft USA: Diplomatic, Financial, and War-Fighting Opportunities of the Space Region
etc.

This looks towards the insight that the USA COCOMS, in modern circumstances, are the logical cultivators, expositors, and ultimately, executors — after POTUS decision/authorization — of USA grand national strategic objectives and of diplomatic, financial, and war-fighting assets of USA statecraft deployed to achieve those objectives.

Update 1: GEN (RET) B. B. Bell: Military Generals And Globalism – And Response

Update 2: The longer this goes, the more solid becomes my assessment that top IC professionals are intellectual nincompoops as well as moral dissolutes. Now it no longer surprises me that 9/11 got through to happen, that IC justified Iraq invasion by Saddam’s WMD rather than by the more pungent fact that he, although not the only one, was behind 90’s and 01’s attack on WTC and also 01’s Anthrax distro, which was the 2 of the WTC/Anthrax textbook mil operation 1-2 punch.

Since POTUS Reagan, and even during POTUS Reagan, USG has attracted a huge and increasing number of credentialed low life, in character and impulses effectively trailer trash.

Time to pull way back in both domestic and overseas involvements and regroup on lines of defense and commo we can actually maintain rather than extruding lines of defense and commo which get whacked because there are not enough normal — intelligent, moral — countrymen available to operate them.

With an indescribably stupid yet bumptious — say rather, dis-eased — credentialed cadre impatiently waiting to sweep away remnants of sanity from the ranks of the national stewardship, shortening front — as mil doctrine would put it — is not only desirable but mandatory.
