Retired general's advice on fixing America
'Clinton has helped Marxists and terrorists ...
... at every opportunity'
By Anthony LoBaido
2000 WorldNetDaily.com
"Sex and perjury were the wrong impeachment offenses. It should
have been on his treachery and failure to live up to his oath of
office." -- U.S. Army Gen. Albion Knight, Jr. (Ret.) In an era
of declining military morale, controversial deployments,
questionable readiness and a commander in chief plagued by
continual scandal, U.S. Army Gen. Albion Knight -- proclaiming a
worldview shared by many in his generation -- claims to see a way
out.
Knight is not evasive and pulls no punches in his lively analysis
of what is wrong with America and how to fix it.
Having graduated from West Point in 1945, Knight served as a
commissioned officer in Japan, and later as a top U.S. commander
in Vietnam and with NATO. Upon his retirement from the military,
Knight served through several administrations in nuclear
security. U.S. Army Brigadier Gen. Albion Knight, Jr. (Ret.)
In 1992, the general ran for vice president, along with Howard
Phillips, on the U.S. Taxpayers Party ticket. He has also been an
ordained clergyman since 1954.
Recently, WorldNetDaily had an in-depth interview with the
retired Army general.
"After World War II, the top U.S. military leaders taught me to
look at the world from a strategic viewpoint -- something that
too few leaders have a chance to do. I saw first-hand the
magnificent work of Gen. Douglas MacArthur in Japan," said
Knight.
"After returning to the U.S. in 1947, the Army sent me to the
University of Illinois for two years to earn a masters degree in
electrical engineering -- plus gain a wonderful wife. In 1950, I
reported to Albuquerque, N.M., and began my first of five tours
of duty in the nuclear weapons field. I took part in the Army's
excellent educational system at every level."
Between 1959 and 1970, Knight served two challenging tours on the
Army staff, a year with the Atomic Energy Commission and a year
in the back-office of Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird. Later,
Knight served as a professional staff member of the Joint
Committee on Atomic Energy of the Congress -- the predecessor
organization to the Department of Energy.
"I resigned my position at the Department of Energy in protest
over the Carter administration's disarmament desires. We lost the
war in Vietnam for one simple reason: The U.S. government did not
want to win the war. Carter's policies were a continuation of
that policy of defeat, retreat and surrender vis-a-vis the
betrayal of Iran, Nicaragua, Rhodesia, Afghanistan and the near
betrayal of South Korea.
"But in 1980, President Ronald Reagan began his great work to
restore America's pride and military."
Knight said that Reagan succeeded by harnessing his vast
communications skills honed by years of acting in Hollywood.
"Reagan's message was this: 'I am proud to be an American. I will
fulfill my oath of office to keep our people safe from all
dangers, foreign and domestic.' He understood America's vital
role in being a source of freedom in a very dangerous world and
that, to remain free, we had to be strong. He also had the
ability to speak the truth in a believable, simple and direct
way. Americans trusted him."
During the 1980s, Knight was involved in a unique project. He and
others were asked by members of the Reagan administration to
draft a list of goals that would be the framework of a Marxist
president if one were to be elected to lead the United States.
"We concluded that a Marxist and / or communist president, if he
ever came to power, would focus on the transfer of national
sovereignty at every opportunity to international organizations.
He or she would also weaken the armed forces physically, mentally
and spiritually. The 'dumbing down' of our public school
educational system would also accelerate."
"Furthermore, we decided that a Marxist president would assist
all or most of America's enemies -- Russia, China, Cuba, radical
Islam, North Korea and others. He would disregard the
Constitution at every opportunity and rule by decree, meaning
executive orders would earmark such an administration. Bogus arms
control agreements, buying-off or intimidating Congress by
stealing the FBI files of its members, controlling the media and
trying to stop all alternative media would also be major goals."
In addressing the two terms in office of President Bill Clinton,
Gen. Knight is resolute.
"What has Clinton done in this regard? He has hit every one of
the above actions and more. I have a file over six inches thick
with articles describing these actions. The salami slices add-up
to a message of treason. Sex and perjury were the wrong
impeachment offenses. It should have been on his treachery and
failure to live up to his oath-of-office.
"Clinton has helped Marxists and terrorists and their 'world
revolution' at every opportunity. Cultural Marxism is also a key
Clinton goal. He has been giving us a bad example that it is all
right to lie, cheat, steal, threaten and even rape women if it is
done in high office. There is a steady movement toward a
Gestapo-like control over the people. There is today in the U.S.
a total lack of any sense of nation and its protection as
required by his oath-of-office. Furthermore, Clinton has been
selling and giving our nuclear and other high technology secrets
to communist China and giving Russia the money to re-arm at U.S.
taxpayers' expense."
The Russia and China alliance Speaking on U.S. relations in the
1990s and at the turn of the millennium, Knight says, "China and
Russia have threatened to nuke us. Why are Americans unconcerned?
I believe it is because so many of our people don't know and many
don't want to know. The government does not want them to know
because, by and large, the present government fears and distrusts
the people. The government-controlled media and the transnational
banks don't want Americans to know. But, our people must know if
we are to survive as a free nation."
"We must tell Russia and China that we intend to stay alive and
to be strong. Next, we should remind them that the motto on the
old War of Independence rattlesnake flag is still true: 'Don't
Tread on Me!' There are consequences to their threats. Yet, as
Ronald Reagan did, we must tell the world the truth -- China and
Russia are still the 'evil empire.' It must be articulated over
and over again."
Knight went on to add that America should terminate all foreign
aid to Russia and China, via the World Bank, the IMF and direct
loans, re-take the Panama Canal, deploy a missile defense shield,
control U.S. borders, slap a tariff on Chinese-made goods and
publish intelligence information on Russian and Chinese
duplicity.
"In the 1990s, first George Bush and then Bill Clinton proclaimed
that the Cold War was over and that America won it. Communism was
dead and our former enemies no longer threaten us and have become
our friends. Therefore, we can safely reap a huge 'peace
dividend' from our bloated military structure that was no longer
needed. It seems clear that these rosy assessments were
premature. Thus, it is time for a re-evaluation.
"Americans like to work in conditions of stability where we can
best use our talents for organization and planning. The long Cold
War gave us that stability. We thought we had reached an
understanding with the Soviet Union that we would not blow each
other off the map. We thought that we had a new strategic partner
in communist China. Our business and financial communities saw
huge opportunity for trade with Russia and China. They were
encouraged to do this by a socialist federal government on the
basis that it would help other Marxists, add to its political
coffers, help world brotherhood, bring about a global economic
system and ensure lasting peace."
Knight believes the ideals of the post-Cold War world are
something akin to a "false utopia," especially regarding the Bush
and Clinton-era policies toward Russia and China.
"The New World Order is a utopia. And utopias throughout history
tend to end badly. The world is far more unstable today than
during the Cold War. The world scene is dynamic, not static.
Plans based upon conditions of three to five years ago no longer
match what we see around us. The Army War College has come up
with an acronym to describe present world conditions. It is VUCA.
Volatility. Uncertainty. Complexity. Ambiguity. That is a
description which more accurately describes the world around us
than the Cold War."
Russia and China are not America's "strategic partners," he
emphasized.
"Both the Russians and the Chinese tell us openly they are our
enemies. We ought to believe them. Communist China openly
threatens to 'nuke' our cities, has gained control over our
security and trade lifeline via the Panama Canal, steals our
scientific secrets, buys our government including the U.S.
Congress and owns a large chunk of our debt -- all while adding
to their ability to harm us."
"With former KGB head and new president, Vladimir Putin -- a
strong, younger man the likes of whom the Russians haven't seen
in charge for many decades -- we see more clearly that the KGB
has been in control behind the scenes all along. Now that they
apparently realize they have squeezed about as much money from
the West as they are going to get, they have let us know what
they have been doing all along. They are continuing to develop
and deploy new strategic and tactical nuclear weapons and are
practicing war games over NATO airspace. Additionally, they have
been continuing a massive biological warfare program, passing
some of their technology and weapons to other enemies of America.
They have also restored their strategic alliance with communist
China."
Knight said that although the Russian army is a mess, Russia does
not need a large conventional force to "scare the West to death."
Rather, the Russians, in Knight's mind, only need a modern,
effective nuclear and biological weapon capability.
"Yes, much of the Russian navy is tied-up at docks as rusting
hulks. But, there is a very modern part of their submarine fleet
which is fully capable of putting the nuclear fear into our
so-called decision-makers," said Knight.
"The cold, hard and brutal fact is that our enemy situation is
grim. The Middle East could explode. Radical Islam continues to
grow in strength and hatred towards the U.S. The Clintons'
enthusiasm in setting-up abortion clinics in Islamic countries
via the United Nations Population Control Program is not helping
matters any. The drug war continues to weaken our nations -- even
while our banks launder trillions in drug money.
"Russia's nuclear, chemical and biological weapons are newer and
better than our own. They are still able to hold us under
strategic blackmail. But our government refuses to tell us about
that. They, instead, proclaim our dangers come mostly from a few
so-called rogue nations. They are either blind or they lie. Our
armed forces have been cut in more than half, are wearing-out
fast and are running out of spare parts and, yet, this
interventionist administration keeps sending the troops out to
places they ought not to be. The result is that the American
youth are refusing to enter the armed forces. Do you smell a
draft to allow us to continue playing "globocop"?
Knight also laments several other factors that he feels are
preventing America from righting the ship.
"We have the most venal, avaricious government in the history of
our nation. Our business community no longer considers itself to
be American but, rather, global."
A "lack of military leadership" at the top of the U.S. armed
forces command structure is another problem, he says.
"America's military leadership increasingly shows it lacks
integrity, moral courage, wisdom and foresight. For example, the
devastating effect of women in combat positions and aboard ships
is becoming more apparent each day. Yet, no active duty military
leader is telling the Clinton office-holders the truth that our
military is being ruined. We have lost our fighting-edge while
acting as so-called 'peacekeepers.' It is high-time for America's
military to regroup, restore, reform and return to protecting our
nation's vital interests in this ever more dangerous world."
Speaking about the 20th century allies of the U.S. and Great
Britain, Knight said, "The Afrikaners, Rhodesians, South Koreans,
Karen of Burma, Hmong of Laos, Cossacks and Kurds all fought on
our side at one time or another. I'm talking about World War I,
World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Central
America and Desert Storm. The U.S. has betrayed or is presently
betraying all of them. The rugged Afrikaners, Israelis and South
Koreans have survived an onslaught of communism and Islamic jihad
in their respective countries. America can't afford to betray her
allies any longer."
Turning America around Gen. Albion Knight believes America and
the West can recover from its present lapse in character,
military strength and morality if "courageous, principled leaders
willing to tell the truth" can reclaim positions of power within
America's culture and government.
"Both Reagan and Thatcher turned around the U.S. and the UK in
the early 1980s. With the support of the American people, the
"turn around" is practical and can be done -- but not without
fierce opposition from powerful directions.
"Most actions are policy-related and not those requiring
expenditure of a lot of money. In national security, those policy
changes are based upon a firm commitment by the president to do
everything possible to preserve and protect the United States as
a free, independent and sovereign nation -- and that commitment
extends over any other international commitment," said Knight.
"For the nation as a whole, we need to get the Big Nanny
government off the back of the American people and out of our
pocket. Our future presidents must show a willingness to live
within the Constitution of the United States and the Congress
will need the courage to fire him if he doesn't. Also, the
president must understand he is obligated to God and not merely
to man in regard to performing his duties."
Regarding the culture and youth of our nation, Knight sees the
possibility of a new dawn and reawakening of traditional American
values.
"We need a God-believing, committed and aware remnant. Our
Founding Fathers led only a minority of Americans to gain our
freedoms against almost impossible odds. The Holy Bible is filled
with examples of what God can do with a faithful remnant. But, do
we have such a remnant in America? I am convinced that we do. Our
Clinton-led government wants us to forget God. We cannot let that
happen. We have a lot of the American people who will not let
that happen -- in spite of the courts, in spite of academia, in
spite of some of the liberal churches and in spite of the
entertainment world," said Knight.
"So, the controlled media will not let the people know the facts?
We now have the alternate media -- which is growing by leaps and
bounds -- bringing the unfiltered truth, mostly through the
Internet.
"Public education is dying and getting worse daily. But the home
school movement is training leaders of tomorrow. Higher
education? Yes, they are loaded with more Marxists than exist in
Russia. But, they are pricing themselves out of the market. Many
private schools are showing the way back to literacy -- which the
teachers unions prevent in the public school system.
"So the mainline churches are dying? Let them die. But there are
now millions of people in the land that are learning what the
Word of God is telling them and are gaining strength, quietly,
every day. Bible-teaching churches are growing. Bible study
groups expand weekly. This is releasing steady spiritual power of
discernment and strength to the remnant of the American people."
In speaking about this remnant, Knight says, "Those of the
American remnant have no voice. They have little money. They have
heart, mind and soul. They have growing anger. I am speaking of
10 percent of the population. But we must remember that there was
only a minority who supported and fought the American War of
Independence -- about one third. But, they had the benefit of the
intellectual elite on their side.
"The bottom-line of all of this is that there are a lot of
potential fighters out there," he said." But, there is no public
voice strong enough or wise enough or astute enough from a public
relations point of view to raise the standard sufficiently high
enough for others to see and follow. The conservative movement is
still caught-up in its old way of doing things. It is hard for
them to break out of the mold.
"God can use a few strong men and women who know who they are,
whose they are, and what they ought to do. We must be prepared in
case God finds use for us in His plan. So I am by no means
throwing in the towel."
