On Renouncing Interventionism

This Must Be Done

Christians renounce the devil and all his works and ways. Americans renounce Interventionism — sometimes known also as Internationalism — and all its pretentious euphemisms and cynical excuses for beating up on weaker people to have one’s way with them.

Just as domestic violence calls are the most physically and psychologically dangerous for policemen and their backup, foreign intervention exhortations are the most psychologically and spiritually dangerous for nations and their citizens.

Except in the case of direct or indirect attack against their sovereignty, a nation has no justification, external (law) or internal (inner necessity), for intervention — sometimes known also as Internationalism — in the affairs of other nations or their citizens.

Interventionism got its start in The USA early in the 20th Century from Virginia Democrat Woodrow Wilson and Northeast Republican lawyers and academicians, including New York lawyer Elihu Root. The lawyers and academicians came to form, finally, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) in 1918 at New York City. Their idea, distilled from eisegesis of the Bible, is that The USA is God's chosen nation — exceptional, city on a hill, light to the nations, the hope and pride of mankind, the greatest and strongest of all nations — and therefore entitled, nay, duty-bound to intervene in the nations' internal affairs, conforming the nations to interests of The USA as God’s torch-bearer.

By mid-century, Jesuits and Ashkenazy Jews who or whose parents were red diaper babies (Bolsheviks) fully grasped the possibility of Anglican Americans' Interventionism as a carrying wave for their own agendas, which have nothing at all to do with American interests, especially legitimate ones. The latter moved on CFR very quickly and dominated them NLT 1949.

This all started with a simple eisegesis of the Biblical phrase chosen people. Eisegesis is reading into The Bible what one wants to be there. It's correction is exegesis, which is reading from The Bible what really is there.

Being a people chosen by God is a hardship and danger as much as it is a blessing. It means one must do as God wishes or receive His ire. The Bible records that the people chosen by God repeatedly paid dearly for disobeying the terms of their engagement. Finally, God opened up the category of chosen to all people and turned the city on a hill (Jerusalem) into a rubble and perpetual bin of dis-ease.

Fulfilling the all-biblical kerygma, Christianity stands witness to the equal love of God for all peoples, all nations, indeed for every creature on earth. None is to be diminished or disrespected. All are clothes The Almighty wears for edifying and hortatory dramas He resolves to perform. All peoples equally are chosen people. All equally shoulder the hardship and danger of that engagement.
