INTERNATIONAL PEACE & DEMOCRACY ADDRESS
SVC INTERNATIONAL PEACE & DEMOCRACY DAY
SEPTEMBER 6, 2024
(EDITOR'S NOTE: During the Public Policy Forum that followed SVC International Peace & Democracy Address that night, SVC's President delivered one of his most memorable responses to a question from the audience. That response has been placed at the end of the Address below)
“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. We shall overcome because of the moral universal is long, but it bends towards Justice. Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that." – Martin Luther Ling, Jr.
“We would like to go back to the way we once lived, but history won’t permit it” – John F. Kennedy
"...whatever deprives People of basic Human dignity & Rights, whatever is defaming, whatever is wrong, whatever is criminal, whatever is destructive, whatever is corrupt - if anything is deceptive and unjust - we will oppose it - sure as the sun comes up in the morning, we will oppose it." - Phil Sutton
Quite literally billions have asked me where I have gotten my strength to overcome the American Organized Terrorism Opprobrium and see it through to conclusion. First of all, the Creator. Our beloved Creator sent me on this Mission in the first place. I didn’t choose it. But over time the Almighty has prepared me and carefully guided me to be the person I had to be as the harbinger of Jesus’ Second Coming. (https://www.svctrailblazerpublications.com/avenging-god)
Of course, Jesus. Jesus has been my Friend and Mentor all along. Jesus has joked with me that he had the easier Mission and that it is my Divinely-given Mission “to save humanity from itself.” The path by which we can do so is becoming more and more and more apparent.
My incredible Family who’s love and support has been instrumental to my survival. Angelica, Alicia, Marti and Jack are my heroes and I will always be grateful to them for understanding why I have had been absent so much. Not being with them as much as I would have liked is truly been the worst loss I suffered through the AOTO and why the traitors/terrorist will be forever separated from their own Families as an ever so basic and small amercement for what they have done.
The day of 9/11, I commented there were three primary reasons for the attack. First, America was and still is being punished for what our country believes in. Second, that al Qaeda hit symbolic targets. They hit our financial center – the World Trade Center – and our defense center - the Pentagon. The attack on the Pentagon was a legitimate military target and, essentially, a Declaration of War just as assuredly as Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor and must been seen that way.
The 9/11 Commission stated flight 93 was heading for the White House or U.S. Capital Building. I have never believed that. Flight 93 was in fact heading for Philadelphia and Independence Square. A strike there have would been an attack on America’s Soul. I had gotten to know Osama bin Laden too well to believe otherwise.
Third, that al Qaeda and the Taliban wanted to fight the 9th Crusade. If you view the kind of society the Taliban has built in Afghanistan you would agree that it is right out of the 13th century. The eighth Crusade was in AD 1270.
It has now been established that the follow-up attack on America has taken the form of the very successful infiltration of organized terrorism. As I have said many times before:
It is all but certain tyranny will reign and Democracy will fail when Public Officials and Employees are themselves the perpetrators. This in turn creates an impossible scenario for Citizens to trust their Governments again and creates a debilitating cynicism that no one can overcome. I am ever so concerned that is exactly what has and is transpiring in America as I speak. Never before in American History have Americans been called upon to face three grave threats to our very existence, any one of which could destroy us.
I am not going to reiterate these grave threats this year as I have in the past and the solutions to them because no ever listens to me, at least in the United States. I’ll just be in the position to say I told you so. I am tired of it.
What I am not tired of is working with SVC’s Foreign Friends and making them an example to Americans, not the other way around. Maybe it will wake Americans up.
For instance, when I first met Nelson Mandela at the White House in 1990, he not only thanked me vociferously, he also related that regardless of what happened to him, one way or another he knew Apartheid in South Africa would crumble. Either he would die in prison as a martyr or what actually did happen would. He also knew I had the same kind of future ahead me in this country. Over the past 34 years, I have learned the source of Nelson’s certainty concerning future events.
Nelson’s Father, Nkosi Mphakanyiswa Gadla Mandela, gave him a name of honor. Their tribe, the Xhosa clan, has names that are very descriptive of a person’s character and personality. “Madiba”, which means “troublemaker”, is very revealing of the future the Creator had in store for Nelson. The name Nelson was given to him by his Methodist School Master, Miss Mdingname.
In his own autobiography, LONG WALK TO FREEDOM, Nelson does not reveal when he knew his life was going to be very different from most, but he knew. Publicly, he stressed only South Africans who were instrumental in toppling Apartheid. It was a very personal, nationalist crusade for him.
When he was released from prison in 1990, Nelson returned to his hometown, Mvezo, and said, “I greet you all in the name of peace, democracy and freedom for all. I stand here before you not as a prophet, but as a humble servant of you, the people. Your tireless and heroic sacrifices have made it possible for me to be here today. I therefore place the remaining years of my life in your hands.” Nelson was 71 years old and he would live to 95.
Last December, SVC Commemorated the tenth anniversary of his passing in Mvezo. It was an incredibly special moment in time for me. I recalled former United Nations Secretary General saying, ”Nelson held on long enough so you could be here (on SVC’s Annual Africa Tour) and attend his Funeral.” While there, I received the inspiration for the SVC Trailblazer Education & Training Program, which will soon pass the milestone of 100 million People raised up to a better life!
Yesterday was the semiquincentennial of the Continental Congress. A day less than 21 months later, America was born. Studying the events and the whys and wherefores of the American Revolution has become a lifetime’s journey for me.
The most starling aspect of all my research was the revelation that not only did America’s Founder’s knew they were making history, they knew they were history. They knew, like Nelson and I have, they were sent by the Creator to do exactly what they were doing!
America’s Founders were the greatest group of people placed at one place at the same time in Human History. And they had to be. The odds the Colonists could win Independence against the most powerful Empire the world has ever know is pretty close to zip. But they did.
The American Revolution proved several things that are vital to Human Civilization surviving and thriving today, not the least of which is that right will always defeat might. Again and again through history the underdog has won because of Divine intervention and there is no better example of it than the American Revolution.
In all of my books, I discuss the General Semantics of History. The Concept I have created recognizes that perspective is the key to understanding anything of importance to us. The perspective we place on our own let alone anyone else’s viewpoints can be the difference between love and war. It can be and often is that powerful.
General Semantics of History requires us to accept that we could very well be wrong about things we believe are basic and inviolable. One of the favorite examples is that the world is flat. That was everyone’s belief until about five hundred years ago.
Another one is, until late June 1776, that our Human Rights are granted by a government or sovereign. At the time, Pennsylvania Delegate John Dickenson argued that the Members of the Continental Congress were wrong in questioning King George III’s actions in abolishing their Rights because he had every right to do so.
Then came Thomas Jefferson and his Declaration of Independence in which he wrote: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
My Cousin Thomas turned history on its head and forever changed our viewpoints of ourselves and each other. Three guesses where he received his inspiration for these words. Up until June 28, 1776, the Author and the Creator were the only ones who held these truths as self-evident!
General Semantics of History also blows away the notion that everything that happens is at random and we have no control over it. History is the Creator’s way of controlling human events.
None other than John F. Kennedy defined this best, “We would like to go back to the way we once lived, but history won’t permit it.” History won’t permit it.
The 35th President made this comment in his last speech. Two days later, on the way to his next speech in Dallas, he was gunned down by conspirators within the U.S. government, within the business community and by America’s chief foreign adversaries, the communists. President Kennedy is the last American President who I am certain is one of us.
On 14 January 2023 at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. I answered a question about the many comparisons which have been made between President Kennedy and myself. I entitled it “Walking Across the Pages of History”:
Chief among them were we did not have to serve in the U.S. Navy, but chose to. That experience, especially in my case, was a key flashpoint in history I participated in.
The assassination attempts against the Kennedy Brothers were strangely International. Usually, political assassinations have a domestic cause, but the communists from the Soviet Union and Cuba killed Jack Kennedy; al Qaeda operatives, including those from the Philippines, Japan and Ukraine have tried to kill me.
Perhaps, most important, President Kennedy and I both shared the experience of having large portion of our Countrymen and Women turned against us just like with Jesus in his time.
Second, the primary reason I have been talking so much regarding parallel between me and John Kennedy is we have a lot in common. Chief among the similarities is our appreciation for history. He attained that appreciation from his Mother and I did from my two Grandmothers. All three Women made sure their Children and Grandchildren appreciated American History and our Families' role in it.
Kennedy biographers often quote Rose Kennedy telling her nine Children that “to whom much is given much will be required.” This is a paraphrase of Luke 12:48.
Biographers mistakenly believe Rose was referring to the Kennedy Family wealth when in reality she is referring to the wealth America and Americans enjoy. Even the poorest among us in the United States are wealthy compared to most of humanity.
Third, as history would have it, we also were witnesses to the “crime”. I will explain that later.
In my own studies of history, particularly of the American Revolution, I very quickly learned that some of us have special callings from our Creator. That we are not only making history, but we are history.
John Kennedy began his special walk across the pages of history when he visited Nazi Germany in its formative years. He realized almost instinctively the dangers that Hitler and company posed to world peace and sanity.
Jack returned to Great Britain where his father was U.S. Ambassador. He expressed concern about what he had witnessed. Joe was not moved. He believed the policy of appeasement that Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain advocated was the correct one.
So appalled was Jack that he wrote his Senior Paper at Harvard on the subject. “Why England Slept” would became a seminal work in understanding what caused World War II.
Future Prime Minister, Winston Churchill Agreed. He would later claim, “It is my purpose, as one who Lived in these days, first show how easily the tragedy of the Second World War could have been prevented; how the malice of the wicked was reinforced by weakness of virtuous."
I utilized this quote in my Hastings Trailblazer Day Declaration to likewise advise the world of the dangers present in our world today: (https://www.svctrailblazerpublications.com/hastings-trailblazer-day-declaration)
Years later, President Kennedy would augment this understanding with what he learned from Barbara Tuchman's book, “Guns of August,” which outlined the causes of World War I: https://www.svctrailblazerpublications.com/the-coming-rapture
The lessons the 35th President had learned from his own experiences and through his study of history contributed greatly to his ability to avert Armageddon during the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962.
History intervened again on August 12, 1944, when his older Brother Joe was killed while flying a secret mission over France. According to the tradition of primogeniture, Joe Sr.'s aspirations for his namesake Son to become President passed to Jack.
Jack himself had been severely injured when the PT boat he commanded had been rammed by a Japanese destroyer on August 1, 1943. He managed to save all but two crew members, but severely injured his back. That's the reason you often see the famous rocking chair in the pictures of the Kennedy White House.
When asked about his act of heroism he quipped, “It was involuntary, they sunk my boat.” This lesson was not lost on this Sailor. I drilled those under my command during the Persian Gulf War and the initial sorties into Afghanistan after 9/11 until they dropped. Under any circumstances, warriors must be so well trained they will act instinctively because if they have to stop to think about what they will do next they are already dead. Everyone of the 5,000+ Sailors and Marines under my command went home. This is a fact I am most proud.
When SVC International Viewpoint Publications, which is now SVC Trailblazer Publications, first started in 2000, I wrote a series on the closest Presidential Elections since World War II because I predicted in the very first SVC International Viewpoint that the 2000 Election between George W Bush and Al Gore would eclipse the 1960 Election between John Kennedy and Richard Nixon as the closest in American History. I was right.
When I did the research for the article concerning the 1960 Election, every commentator bemoaned the fact that these two young bucks would try to replace the venerable Dwight Eisenhower and it would be a disaster. The 1960 Election is the only election in which a President under the age of 50 would be elected.
History would prove the critics wrong. Both the Kennedy and Nixon Presidencies would be tragically cut short and both men were on track to becoming Great Presidents. We will never know, particularly in Jack's case, what would have happened if they had been President for a full eight years.
The Kennedy Administration began with probably the best Inaugural Address in history. He called for increased defense spending and for tax cuts. Republicans Ronald Reagan in 1981 and George W Bush 2001 reiterated that message. The Republicans reminded younger Brother Ted of that every time he voted against their tax cuts.
Whenever SVC would visit the Kennedy Presidential Library when Ted was alive, he would ask me which one of the Kennedy Brothers I felt like most like that day. Inevitably, it was the President. He knew that before he asked.
Ted knew I was more conservative than he or Bobby were. His Brother the President and I are Decorated Combat Veterans and Jack witnessed his Father struggle to make his great wealth. Something Ted, who was 15 years younger than the President, never witnessed. That's why Jack would ask for increased defense spending and tax cuts as President and Ted would always oppose it while in the U.S. Senate.
But that doesn't always mean Presidents who are Veterans necessarily are in favor of increased defense spending. Perhaps the most well-known Presidents who were Army Generals severely bit the hand that fed their fame and made them President.
Ulysses S. Grant balked at sending the very same Troops he had commanded during the American Civil War into the former Confederate States during Reconstruction. The very idea was abhorrent to him. You would think he would want to continue to punish the south, but that kind of garbage wasn't in him. The 1876 Presidential Election to replace him was decided by agreeing to end Reconstruction. President Grant got his way.
George Washington utterly refused to consider having an aggressive Foreign and National Defense Policy. No American would die on his eight-year watch as President as they did on his eight-year stint as Commanding General of Continental Army. Washington developed the now infamous isolationism that has plagued US Foreign Policy ever since and was an impetus to World War II.
The Supreme Allied Commander in the European Theater during that war was a gem here. Ike would readily talk about how many hospitals America could build versus tanks when he was President. He cut the defense spending to absolute minimum to the point Jack accused him of allowing a “missile gap” with the Soviet Union during his 1960 campaign.
Jack's own love affair with what Ike called the “Military-Industrial Complex” ended with the Bay of Pigs Fiasco. Worse, Jack had been an eye-witness to the “crime”. The Nazis believed they could achieve anything they wanted through brute military force.
After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the Pentagon bought into this idea. They had learned that the Great Depression finally ended with the mobilization for war and somehow that mobilization had to continue for America to remain strong.
The day after World War II ended on September 2, 1945, the Pentagon set things in motion to continue the mobilization through fighting limited wars in Korea and Vietnam.
If you have ever seen the final episode of M*A*S*H, they play a Report from Robert Pierpoint already discussing the coming conflict in Vietnam as the one in Korea was ending in July 1953. North Korea invaded the south in June 1950 and Americans joined an UN Coalition to send the communists back above the 38th parallel (38 degrees north latitude). The Vietnam conflict would begin with the battle at Dien Bien Phu in March 1954, a scant eight months later.
After the Bay of Pigs, Jack reversed his call for an increase in defense spending and began to close military bases in areas that were not Democrat-friendly. He kept a campaign promise and sought a nuclear arms limitation deal with the Soviet Union. In a word, became an unexpected threat to the Pentagon's desired perpetual mobilization.
Then came the Cuban Missile Crisis. The Pentagon wanted to invade Cuba and remove the Soviet nuclear arms by force. Jack demurred. He saw the danger of all out nuclear war if that invasion took place. He decided to blockade Cuba, hoping he could force Nikita Khrushchev's hand without armed conflict.
It worked and ended the crisis, but it permanently damaged the Commander-in-Chief's relationship with those he would command. No one knows exactly when or who, but the Pentagon brass conspired with the communists to assassinate the President and they were successful.
One of the last things Jack did as President was withdraw the 50,000 “military advisors” from Vietnam. On the same day Americans buried their President, the new President, Lyndon Johnson, reinstated those advisors feeling they would come after him if he didn't.
That decision would ruin LBJ's Presidency and send him to an early grave. Ditto for Richard Nixon. The release of the “Pentagon Papers” led to the creation of the “plumbers” which in turn led to the Watergate Scandal.
My walk across the pages of history began when I was a Counselor at the Billy Graham Crusade in Denver in July 1987. I worked with Children that answered the alter call. A pair of adorable Twin Girls were among them.
Their Parents had been Mexican Immigrants and they had encountered prejudice in their new Country and turned to their Faith to help them endure their ordeal and explain their problems to their Daughters. They were three-years old.
Our Church had an Outreach Program and I referred them to our Pastor. This led me to encounter Americans who were working to convince the Reagan Administration to support the International Boycott of the Apartheid Government in South Africa. In this project I excelled.
It is fitting I am recounting this story on this weekend. The first Martin Luther King Day Holiday was 18 months before on January 20, 1986 and many of those who had worked on that project were working on this one. Ditto with those who opposed it.
The effort actually had started during the Great Depression and eventually gained United Nations support after World War II, but languished until the Free Nelson Mandela Campaign took form. Nelson became the poster child of the Boycott Movement.
The key moment in the Movement was the 70th Birthday Tribute to Nelson on July 17, 1988. The tribute culminated in Hyde Park, New York, where the Membership Drive I led reached 17,500 Members in the USA alone. It was my idea that we needed to focus on getting Nelson and other members of the Africa National Congress freed.
Then the great moment. On February 11, 1990, Nelson was freed after 27 years of imprisonment. President George H. W. Bush invited me to a Reception he held for Nelson at the White House in June 1990.
When Nelson saw me, he made a B-Line in my direction. He knew who I was. I will never forget how grateful he was for our support and how much he wanted to continue our association. He would become the single most important mentor in my life and I am likewise eternally grateful for all his support.
History, as it always does, intervened again. In August 1990 Iraq invaded Kuwait. President Bush mobilized over 30 Nations under the United Nations Charter to eject Iraq from Kuwait. It was only the second time the UN had authorized force, the first was during the Korean conflict. The third and last time is to put down the AOTO in the United States.
I had been in a training accident on the USS Corral Sea and been discharged from the U.S. Navy because the injuries I had sustained prevented me from continued service. But all the sudden, I was fit again and the Navy invited me back and promoted me to full lieutenant.
But before I left Montana to go to war, South African Bishop Desmond Tutu spoke in Helena. After that speech, he was asked what would happen if someone assassinated him. He rose up on his tippy-toes and said, “It doesn't matter because God will send someone to take my place.” Indeed.
Desmond virtually visited SVC on his 90th Birthday, October 7, 2021, and reiterated my Four Universal Thematic Principles of the American Dream. At length, he discussed why the United States and then the rest of world must adopt the lessons from the creation of the United States from which these principles sprang and adopt the Key Guiding Thematic Fundamental ”Always Do What Is Right.”
In all my Books from “Revival of the American Dream” to “Trailblazer To Revival of the American Dream”, I have outlined instances where the Creator's People overcame tremendous odds to do the right thing. Like the American Colonists. Like the South Africans. Like SVC now. As Jesus remarked: those things which are impossible for humans are possible for the Creator.

Just like Jack Kennedy, my encounter with the “crime” - the belief might will defeat right – came at a young age. The Persian Gulf War had been America's most efficient war. We accomplished our objective in five weeks and 100 hours. There were 500,000 Americans in harms way and we lost just over 300. We didn't want to lose anybody, but as any military person can tell you, losing only 0.06% of your Personnel in a war is just stupidly good.
Osama bin Laden didn't care at all for 500,000 “infidels” on Saudi soil. He was just as strong in his beliefs and I was in mine. We weren't getting anywhere. Eventually, I Recommended that bin Laden be exiled. I had seen first-hand a diabolic genius at work and just like Jack thought about the Nazis, I knew al Qaeda was an imminent threat that had to be cut-off in its infancy.
And just like Jack, my concerns found their way into my academic work. I developed my “No Tolerance Terrorism Policy” based on my experience with bin Laden. On the night of 9/11, President George W Bush introduced the world to my philosophy towards organized terrorism when he quoted directly from my Doctoral Dissertation and my first book's manuscript: “The United States should 'make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them.'” This became the Bush Doctrine.
I spent the afternoon of 9/11 calling all my Sub-Commanders of the U.S. Naval Reserve Unit I commanded because I knew we would be called-up. We were ready to go before the Orders came. After the NATO forces began our assault in Afghanistan, we led the first American sorties into the Afghanistan eastern front where bin Laden was believed to be. Just like with Saddam Hussein, we didn't bring bin Laden to Justice for around a decade. Fellow Montanan and Sailor Rob O'Neill finally got him in May 2011.
I had no idea bin Laden had been tracking me all this time and knew we were once again at loggerheads. In the Foreign Policy Chapters of my books, I have always described the Sutton Doctrine and the Five Steps to World Democratization right before my No Tolerance Terrorism Policy. This is where Round 3 against bin Laden started.
UN Secretary General Kofi Annan was interested in giving International Law teeth. The Statutes of Rome created the International Criminal Court and the Office of the International Prosecutor in 2003. He Proposed the Responsibility To Protect Statutes (now Principle) and asked me to be the author.
The task was completed right before Christmas 2005. After lengthy debate before the UN General Assembly, the Statutes became law later in 2006. The statutes struck at the heart of what bin Laden wanted to accomplish and build a worldwide terrorist network.
It was by no mistake that all my difficulties with the Make Victims Units in Missoula began at that time. In 2007, bin Laden would declare war on me and named me as his “only worthy Adversary.”
From March 2006-April 2012 I would be accused of one Federal crime and four State of Montana crimes and I would spend 43 days in jail when I have not legitimately been found guilty of so much as a speeding ticket in 65 years of life!
In the only case that ever reached anything close to a legitimate trial was the Federal charge and I was acquitted with no attorney, no preparation and no witnesses, including Missoula County Deputy Sheriff Jonathan Stineford, who was the arresting officer and was required by the U.S. and Montana Constitutions to be there, but wasn't. I only had the truth. That's how it is supposed to be.
Stineford had gotten Missoula County sued at least twice for using excessive force prior to being hired by U.S. Forester Al Hilshey to come up to Poe Meadows and shoot me dead. They admitted as much in their Reports of the incident and nothing has ever been done to bring them to Justice.
Fact of the matter is that Stineford tased me instead. Two weeks before a teenager died after being tased in Fredericksburg, Virginia and the US Justice Department suspended the use of tasers by US Law Enforcement, which Stineford technically was because we were on Federal Land, as a result. The Bush Administration received Federal Grand Jury Indictments against them prior to leaving office, but the Obama Administration never pursued those Indictments. These Indictments would be the first of over a thousand Indictments mysteriously never prosecuted.
When I motioned Justice of Peace Karen Orzech to dismiss the State charge she refused. US Attorney General Michael Mukasey had the case dismissed at the Federal level due to multiple violations of my Civil Rights and put me in a Witness Protection Program.
When I didn't show up for the next Hearing for obvious reasons, Orzech revoked my bail and had me arrested just before she went on vacation for two weeks, leaving the message to the jailers not to release me under any circumstances because Orzech was “going to deal with him personally.” That meant I had to stay in jail for at least 17 days without the possibility of bail and I was accused of a misdemeanor, not murder or any other violent crime.
During my wrongful incarceration, an IED went off in Iraq killing 17 people that I could have easily saved. Orzech and company will be Judicially Executed for those murders as though they committed them themselves under the U.S. Federal Conspiracy Statutes. And they think I had “mental health issues?”
Later that year, right in the middle 2008 Presidential campaign, the al Qaeda concocted financial crisis hit. It was the worst International Economic crisis since the Great Depression. I was the Chief International Economist in the State Department charged with the duty of advising the President of the United States and Secretary of State what to do about it. And Republican Candidate John McCain, put an exclamation point on this by quoting Herbert Hoover almost verbatim after the 1929 Stock Market Crisis that everything would be OK.
In 2009, the wheels on the al Qaeda conspiracy began to come off. In March the Public Funds Embezzling scandal came to light; in June, the Make Victims Unit (MVU)'s; and in August the illicit drug scandal which led to the sexual assault scandal. If the Obama Administration had acted as they should have then, at least 10,000 people would have been spared having their Lives and reputations systematically ruined; over a 100 Woman would not have been raped; and Missoula and the University of Montana would not being ensnared in a endless set of scandals that require its sequestration from the rest of America.
Actually, al Qaeda, which means “the base” in Arabic, set-up shop in Colorado Springs in 2003. They did so because cannabis became legal and they could raise funds for their terrorist activities through the sale of pot. Al Qaeda took over Afghanistan by operating its opiate trade and raising billions in cash. They were going to do the same in the USA.
The final formal charge against me was criminal trespassing. I was surprised to learn a Female Professor had caught me in a Woman's bathroom and I had assaulted this poor guy twice in the University Center. I don't know where the former came from, but the latter incidents were not even possible. SVC was bouncing around the world on our World Democratization Conference at the time I was allegedly on the UM campus.
Then the City Court began with their Make Victims Units gambits. They sent me a Notice to Appear two days after the fact. Naturally, they issued a bench warrant for my arrest and took my right to jury trial away.
Once I actually received the Notice, I called the Court. I was told that the Judge had dismissed the case. Fine.
I didn't hear anything for almost eight months and pretty much had forgotten it. Then on Holy Thursday, April 5, 2012, Missoula Police Officer Chris O'Leary stopped me and told me one of my prospective Business Clients had called and complained. He was a lead generated by my company. I still don't know what his problem was. He acted as Police Informant and, as usual, I had done absolutely nothing wrong.
O'Leary ask me for ID and he checked for warrants. I had been found guilty in absentia and he used the expired warrant to proceed to arrest me. I didn't know anything about it. It was a ruse.
The counterfeit conviction has been used by the University of Montana to ban me from campus permanently. In August 2023, it was disclosed that the conviction had been long since been overturned and that it had been the reason given by the traitors/terrorists in Bozeman and Colorado to maltreat me.
It was expected that traitors/terrorists would cease and desist. Instead, it became the impetus for what the Social Security Administration did to me in February and what Americans for Prosperity/Canvass America did to me in March.
It is amazing that they expect to get away with it and can even remotely question why the University of Montana and Social Security will be closed. What else could they possibly expect?!
Returning to the beating story, Kurt Trowbridge had arrived and he and O'Leary threw me down on the hard concrete to supposedly cuff me. Instead, Trowbridge began beating me and injected me with a still unknown substance.
Trowbridge was a Marine and he was using what was later identified as Soviet Gulag Technique he learned while in the service. My point here in answering the young Lady's question is this is yet another parallel between what happen to Jack Kennedy and what has happened to me.
Lee Harvey Oswald was also a Marine and another example of a Veteran using what they learned in the military and turning it on the Civilian population.
Oswald was a trained sharp shooter and quite capable of shooting the President. He was a Soviet National at the time of the shooting and undoubtedly part of the Pentagon/communist conspiracy to murder John F. Kennedy.
Oswald was murdered himself by Jack Ruby, but no other individual has ever been brought to Justice in the case. Fortunately, that's where the parallels end. I am still alive and all those involved with the AOTO who are also still alive will know certain Justice!
Hitler committed suicide rather than answering for the holocaust. Two dozen of his henchmen were Judicially Executed after the Nuremberg Trials.
Bin Laden has also figuratively been brought to Justice; 19 of the 9/11 hijackers committed suicide by crashing the planes and Zacarias Moussaoui is spending life in prison.
Now for the key edit in this story, Trowbridge is still at-large, still wears a badge in Missoula and has successfully murdered 24 others. Late last year, it was learned that Missoula Mayor John Engen, who died two years ago, an.d Missoula County Attorney contributed matching amounts to University of Montana President Royce Engstrom’s $16,500 to pay Trowbridge to assassinate me.
International Investigators have long since recovered the University checks to Trowbridge, but the transfers from the City ($16,500) and County ($17,000) to Trowbridge’s accounts are the true new revelations of note. The entirety of the $50,000 is from public funds. Since 2009, the Montana University System has lost more than $12 billion to embezzlement that can be proved.
The impetus for the Trowbridge assassination attempt started when I joined a group of University of Montana Alumni who led a boycott against UM in retribution for the massive sexual assault scandal. When Engstrom learned of my success in this endeavor, he stated, “Sutton must die” to at least five individuals who claim to be witness to it. There cannot be any doubt it happened.
Instead of the Pentagon, the Information Age Industries have actively conspired against me and SVC along with organized terrorism. Those who I should be naturally allied with me are in fact some of my worst adversaries, at least in the United States. It doesn't make sense. (https://www.svctrailblazerpublications.com/coupe-disgrace-of-organized-terrorism)
I understand I am a threat to bin Laden and his henchmen and women. That is the idea. But what I cannot understand is why 735,000+ of my fellow Americans have joined them any more than anyone can understand why the Pentagon brass would join up with the communists to kill to such a promising President?
The traitors/terrorists of American Organized Terrorism Opprobrium (formerly Qaeda-gate) will all be brought to Justice one way or the other.
In the movie “Jesus Christ Superstar”, a scene had the Jewish Sanhedrin begin to plot against Jesus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lN4TxOd9I8Q The scene depicts Jesus’ swift fall from grace. Jesus went from being a celebrated “King” to crucified in just five days. It all serves a purpose in the Creator’s Grand Design!
When SVC was last here in Boston on Memorial Day, the most popular topic was the idea of a new American Revolution. We were not speaking about a new military conflict, but a very real Political Revolution along the lines Thomas Jefferson talked about - every 25 years or so.
In my new book, TRAILBLAZER TO REVIVAL OF THE AMERICAN DREAM, I outline what Jefferson meant and its vindication by my Concept of the General Semantics of History:
Example # 7: Periodic Political Revolutions
Thomas Jefferson once commented that a little rebellion to refresh democracy is a good thing. Because of this, Jefferson’s adversaries endeavored to have him viewed as a dangerous demigod. (His latter day cousin knows the feeling all too well).
Jefferson himself led the first American “political revolution” in 1800 and 1801. He left the Washington Administration as the first Secretary of State claiming that the Washington Administration had betrayed the principles of the American Revolution and created the Democratic-Republican Party. In 1801, Jefferson and the Democratic-Republicans replaced John Adams and the Federalists in the new national capital of Washington, D.C. It was the first of only three “national sweeps” in U.S. history where the White House and majority party control of both houses of Congress exchanged partisan hands in the same Election.
The fact is throughout American History, America’s political swings between conservative ideologies and more progressive ideologies have averaged between 35 and 40 years.
The Ultimate Progressive Era: 1776-1816
While the definitions of conservative and progressive ideologies will be thoroughly defined in Chapter Five, suffice it to say here that a conservative feels the status quo suits them and they prefer maintaining what is to their benefit. The more changes a person deems appropriate, the more liberal or progressive they are politically.
In Chapter One, the case is made for the ultimate progressive era. There has never been another time in human history where more is accomplished for the cause of liberty and human rights than during America’s Revolution and formation of the U.S. government under the Constitution.
The initial success of the “Great Experiment” is the single most important series of events in secular history and it would be difficult to discover another era in which such profound change occurred.
Era of Good Feeling: 1816-1854
As is always the case, when everything is going well, humans become complacent and a conservative era commences. The United States became a truly bi-coastal nation by the 1850’s and the sky became the limit. Only the Great Error of 1776 hovered over America like a dark cloud.
Slavery In America Meets Its end: 1854-1894
Americans earnestly sought compromise over the slavery issue. Compromise after compromise were enacted, but to no avail. The flashpoint came when Illinois U.S. Senator Stephen Douglas proposed the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854.
Douglas introduced the concept of “popular sovereignty” to the slavery debate. Instead of mollifying the angst over slavery giving each state or territory the right to determine whether or not to allow slavery within their borders, the Act set-off a firestorm of dissent in the north and made the civil war inevitable.
The proposal also led to the creation of the Republican Party and Abraham Lincoln’s reentry into politics. Lincoln would oppose Douglas for the U.S. Senate in 1858 and defeat him for the U.S. Presidency in 1860. While Lincoln consented to the survival of slavery where it already existed, he forbade its spread north and west of Texas. That triggered South Carolina’s succession from the Union in December 1860. Ten more States slavery conundrum in the United States is how it became such an implacable issue. This is where the General Semantics of History kicks-in.
True, Americans inherited the practice from their British forebears and the slaves were needed in the south to cultivate labor-intensive tobacco, but Benjamin Franklin started the first Abolition Society on the North American continent in 1759.
This means there was an anti-slavery consciousness present in the colonies and there were individuals who believed the infamous practice was wrong.
That said, the slave trade had become a lucrative business and it was simply easier to own rather than pay their fellow human beings for their work they saw as inferior, anyway. There were some who espoused the viewpoint that the blacks were benefitted through slavery with all their basic needs met rather than live a very primitive life in Africa.
No matter the rationalizations in favor of slavery, it existed, had become a way of life for generations of southerners and over 650,000 Americans died to place the final denouement upon slavery in the United States. America eventually recovered from the civil war and its contributions to the world led to the industrial revolution and America’s arrival onto the world stage. This progressive era, however, concluded with the Depression of 1893.
Dawning of the Industrial Age: 1894-1929
As predicted by none other than Karl Marx, the transition from common mercantilism to capitalism would prove wrenching. G. W. F. Hegel’s Dialectic held that public policy issues would devolve into a series of theses over time. Marx took the philosophy and applied it to his economic development theories.
Marxism appeared vindicated in the late 19th century. In terms of its impact on industry and employment, the depression of the 1890s essentially was the precursor to the Great Depression three and four decades later.
In some places, the depression began before 1890, with in a jolting agricultural crisis that hit Southern cotton-growing regions and the Great Plains in the late 1880s. The economic shock hit Wall Street and urban areas in 1893, as part of a massive worldwide economic crisis. A quarter of the nation’s railroads went bankrupt; in some cities, unemployment among manufacturing workers exceeded 20%.
Americans in different economic strata experienced the depression in markedly different ways. In the bitter winter months, some poor families would starve and many others became vagabonds. Many appeared at the back doors of middle-class houses, pleading for work or food.
Despite the obvious systemic crisis, many Americans blamed those who could not find work, accusing them of laziness or begging. Some among the unemployed blamed themselves and stories of despair and suicide ran almost daily in many newspapers.
Complicating matters was the influx of immigrants who also were seeking jobs and a better future. The modern corporate structure in America was formed. About 90% of the population worked for someone else. Except for a fortunate few, the American Dream was relegated to a pipe dream.
This structure created a fantastic opportunity for magnates to exploit inexpensive labor and build business dynasties that were unparalleled before or since. This conservative era enslaved millions of free people economically. Labor unions and government regulation kept employment from becoming little more than paid slavery.
The United States also emerged as a world military power by winning an overseas empire from Spain in 1898 and acting as the decisive factor in the Allied victory in World War I.
U.S. President Woodrow Wilson failed to win the peace he envisioned at Versailles and it led to the Second World War and the Cold War.
The New Deal Era: 1929-1966
Rampant financial speculation without government oversight led to the economic collapse of late 1929. At first, the Great Depression did not appear to be the economic conflagration it became.
In due course, however, the sterling prosperity witnessed in the 1920’s was viewed for what it was: an economic illusion and the bubble burst causing 25% unemployment and deflation for the only time in U.S history.
With millions suffering and starving, President Franklin Roosevelt experimented with government programs until he discovered a combination that restored confidence in the future for the American people.
Roosevelt’s leadership skills were exemplary, but the United States would only emerge from the Great Depression when America joined the Allied cause during World War II.
What is key to understand about this progressive era is it enamored the American people to their government and Americans no longer feel responsible for their own fate. They expect Uncle Sam to take care of them. This is more dangerous than the author can express.
Attenuation of the American Dream: 1966-2006
Although the New Deal Era in American politics did create a long since required social consciousness and government activism to mitigate grievances for women, ethnic minorities and seniors, it has been proven inefficacious at best.
The corruption which inevitably develops in every great civilization seized the U.S. government no later than the Vietnam war. President Lyndon Johnson’s noble goal to eliminate poverty in America in the previous progressive era was put asunder by his misadventures in Indochina.
Then came the intrigues of the Watergate scandal.
As the author outlined in the previous chapter, August 9, 1974, is the darkest day in American history. Unhealthy cynicism replaced a healthy skepticism and the divisiveness in America continues to grow to this day.
Forget America recovering from the Watergate scandal as it has all the other calamities the nation has faced. America is 49 years in and there is no sign of reversal of this damage.
Indeed, current events are causing many Americans to develop the perspective that a date not far over the horizon will supplant August 9, 1974, as America’s darkest day.
The insurrection and possible treasonous attack instigated by a defeated President on January 6, 2021, is an incredibly apt candidate. History has never witnessed an American leader who fought so vehemently to thwart democracy and stay in power as has Donald J. Trump. Only the General Semantics of History can determine over time if January 6, 2021 is now the darkest day in American history.
When this last conservative era began, the American Dream was intact, but fading fast. Baby-boom Presidents Donald Trump, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton were all born in the summer of 1946 and graduated from high school in 1964.
Trump and Bush both came from privileged backgrounds and were not excellent students. In the 1960’s, they didn’t have to be. A high school diploma and, most certainly, a college degree virtually guaranteed them a good job.
By the time this author and the other baby-boom President, Barack Obama, came of age a decade and a half later, a young American needed a college degree with straight-A’s from a name university to even hope to have a job of any kind at all.
The point? No American the author’s age or younger has any idea of what Trump has been talking about making America great again. We have never known America as great. Indeed, America has been an unmitigated disaster that has only gotten worse over time, not better. Thus, the motivation for writing this book.
Now, there was the First Moon Landing, the end of the Cold War and the onset of the Information Age in this period. But does the reader really want the author to list all the other things that went horribly wrong for America and Americans between 1966 and 2006? The case is made.
The Fall of the United States of America?: 2006-Present
The current progressive era began when the Democrats retook control of both houses of Congress in 2006 and the first black President Barack Obama won election in 2008 and re-election in 2012.
America is vulnerable. That is not what most Americans are led to believe, but it is fact. The question posed at the end of this chapter concerning the rise and fall of the United States of America could not be more salient.
This tome is being written in hope that the United States does not have to follow the historic progression of all other great civilizations. President Jimmy Carter warned in July 1979 that no legislation or government action could restore American confidence.
Only the American people can do that.
The study of the General Semantics of History requires that the practitioner view reality as is and not through rose covered glasses. The United States is in deep trouble. Very deep trouble. This is an excellent opportunity at this point in American history for the readers to check their value systems and their ability to utilize the General Semantics of History to cope with what is transpiring right now in the United States no matter what their viewpoints are on any given philosophy, issue, entity, leader or person.
Frankly, the author is so concerned about America’s future. The author worked with the International Community for 18 years to find the answers, not just to solve American problems, but all the difficulties humanity faces.
One way or the other, the world will be brought to a peaceful conclusion. I only hope that America will be part of that solution…
The good news is America has an extraordinarily great track record in overcoming its problems and our generations of Leaders must step up and do so again.
Meanwhile, until America and Americans get their act together, SVC will focus solely upon and enhance our accomplishments in the following areas:
1) Working for Peace, Human Rights & Justice;
2) World Political Democratization;
3) World Economic Democratization;
4) Expanding the SVC International Trailblazer Program;
5) Continue developing my Living Security Program;
6) Saving the Environment through land and water conservation and reduction of greenhouse gases; and
7) Ending Market, Monetary Policy and Tax/tariff manipulation.
(PPF Question: How did you come up with all the stuff you covered this afternoon? Seriously, where does it come from?
SVC's President: Pardon me for laughing. I did cover a tremendous amount and admittedly it does fly right over most people's heads. Your question reminds me of a question another young lady asked George Lucas many years ago in Pasadena. SVC begins our Commemoration of the First Moon Landing every July at JPL and we have traditionally asked the Stars of Star Trek and Star Wars to participate. We have a lot of fun with it.
Now, of course, George is the creator of Star Wars and she asked him where he came up with Star Wars; Bill Gates with Microsoft and Windows; and me, the Revival of the American Dream and SVC. George simply answered, "We were visited by God." The audience just froze. There is something about talking about the Spiritual and metaphysical that just frightens people. Those who somehow get past the fear of and realize the love of the Creator usually do live spectacular lives.
Quite often the "tests" we experience are the Creator's way to sort which ones that can be trusted to co-create special moments in history. Moses, King David, Jesus, William the Conqueror, Saint Adela, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington; John & Abigail Adams; Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt; Franklin Roosevelt & Eleanor Roosevelt; John Kennedy, Nelson Mandela, and I, in chronological order, knew our relationship with our Creator is destined to be something special. It often runs in Families, too.
In my own experience, the fact that Jesus was King David's 26th generation Grandson and that I am King William's 26th generation Grandson has great significance to what our lives would be like. Of the last dozen mentioned, I am related to all but Abe, Jack and Nelson.
Moses' significance to me is he was called to his Special Mission in an unmistakable way like I was. The burning bush the Creator spoke to Moses through made sure Moses knew he had been in the presence of the Almighty. During my Longfellow Dream, the Creator took me on a tour of my hometown of Bozeman, Montana and during that tour I slipped on ice and banged my head on a masonry wall. I woke up in our bed in our home in Charlottesville, Virginia, lying on a blood soaked pillow. I had been transported 2,300 miles by the Creator to finally be told who I am and left a supernatural sign that I too have been in the presence of the Almighty.
In answer to your question, I have been visited by God.)
