Why Conscription Is Coming Back and What You Can Do About It

Our governments have already performed vaccine genocide; Millions have died due to the covid vaccines so far and that number is expected to become billions in the near future. Russia has also killed their own population with covid vaccines. They are are all in on it together. They all need WWIII to hide this genocide. Both sides.
But no one will go to war for them; so they won't be able to hide their vaccine genocide. This is why they will try to enact conscription. DO NOT COMPLY!.

International Man: UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak recently pledged to bring back mandatory national service.
The German government has also mulled reinstating compulsory military service. In Ukraine, it’s not uncommon for government agents to forcibly kidnap civilians off the streets and send them to the front.
Zelensky’s militants just kidnapped a father in broad daylight, leaving his wife and little baby alone in the street
These are a few recent examples. There seems to be a clear trend of governments preparing their citizens for some sort of mandatory national service.
Is conscription coming back in the West generally and the US in particular?
Doug Casey: The US is now automatically registering all males between 18 and 26 into the Selective Service databank. I’m no fan of conscription. Or the military in general. Of course, it shocks a lot of people when I say I’m not a fan of the military, although I tend to like soldiers as individuals. Don’t get me wrong; the military can serve a useful purpose. But when you’re in the military, you’re not necessarily fighting for the country or “freedom.” You’re fighting for the government and the people who control it.
Propaganda and jingoism aside, the kind of people who run governments are not the best and the brightest, just the most ambitious and opportunistic. Without exception, they’re power grubbers who like to control other people.
It’s one thing if someone joins voluntarily, but something else entirely if they’re coerced. The draft, or any kind of mandatory service or conscription, should be called what it is: Involuntary servitude. Or, as shocking as it may sound, slavery.
Anyway, this trend towards conscription everywhere in the West is most disturbing. It’s inuring people to the idea that they should serve the State, the government.
International Man: You’re well-known for saying, “Right now, by paying all their taxes, the government uses you as a milk cow. But they may decide to turn you into a beef cow.”
Can you elaborate?
Does conscription have any place in a free society?
Doug Casey: “Survive” is the prime directive of all living things, from amoebas to governments. That means if the government needs your life to survive or the lives of a million people like you, it will take them. To the State, you’re just a resource—notwithstanding all the rhetoric about democracy, the value of life, and blah, blah, blah.
Remember that the government doesn’t really represent the country. The government is a separate entity that has its own interests, much as a church, a corporation, or any other organization does. The problem is that the government is the only institution in society that doesn’t survive by voluntary trade and production. It survives by force, confiscating assets from the people that it rules. People have an entirely backwards view of what the government is. It’s not your friend.
When I say that it treats its subjects as milk cows, I mean that they value you only as a cog in the wheel. As a milk cow, you may be relatively well-treated. But, if push comes to shove, they’ll turn you into a beef cow. That’s what the military does. You’re forced to put your life on the line, not necessarily to defend yourself, family, and friends, but to defend the interests of the government who’ve organized the army.
To answer the second part of the question, there are basically three types of army—volunteer armies, mercenary armies, and slave armies.
If a truly free society is invaded by a foreign government, its people will volunteer to defend it. They’re defending their personal home. The ideal military is composed of volunteers in a well-organized militia that will only rise up when an actual threat occurs. The US was once ideally suited for this type of army. But it no longer is since it’s devolved into an empire. Switzerland is probably the best model in today’s world. A volunteer army can only be used for defensive purposes. Part-time citizen soldiers aren’t interested in being killed or maimed in order to gratify some politician.
The second type of military are mercenaries, hired soldiers. Mercenaries, as competent professionals, are excellent for today’s hi-tech environment because they’re specialized and enthusiastic; some people are better suited to soldiering than others. The problem with mercenaries is that they’ll basically do what their employer tells them to do. Today’s US military are basically domestically recruited mercenaries. In many ways, they’re apart and separate from society at large.
The third type of army is a slave army. This is what you get with conscripts. Conscripts can get the job done, but mainly out of loyalty to their fellow slaves and for fear of being shot by their officers. Most would desert, except for fear and their loyalty to their fellows. Many would frag their officers if they think they can get away with it. If you need a slave army to defend your country, it should be obvious your country isn’t worth defending.
The ideal military will naturally and voluntarily defend its country if it’s attacked but cannot be used to invade other countries. Only a volunteer army, essentially a militia, suits a free country. Conscription has no place in a free society.
Some say that, in today’s world, conscription might be a good thing because it might imbue discipline into soft, spineless, unruly youths. And you can certainly pick up some good habits in the military, like learning to say, “Yes, sir,” making your bed, and shining your shoes.
But it’s not the government’s, or the army’s, place to mold the character of its people. Examples of governments that believe in molding the character of their youth always resemble the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany, East Germany, North Korea, and the like.
The answer is simple: conscription, or “national service,” doesn’t have a place in a free society. If a society is worth defending, its members will rise up to do so, and they won’t have to be forced to.
International Man: Historically, conscription has been used in the US during major conflicts like World War II and the Vietnam War.
Given today’s geopolitical landscape, do you see a potential major war erupting that could bring back the draft?
Doug Casey: Let me point out that conscription was not used during the American Revolution. Soldiers during the Revolution were basically all volunteers. And the same is true of the War of 1812. It was only in the War Between the States that conscription started.
Most Northerners couldn’t have cared less about whether the South remained part of the US. White boys certainly didn’t want to be enslaved in order to free black people in a different country. The hatred, death, and destruction from 1861-1865 were enabled solely by conscription. If it hadn’t been for conscription, the US couldn’t and wouldn’t have fought the First World War, either. WW1 was the camel putting its nose under the tent in the destruction of Western civilization itself. It was a completely pointless war, made possible only through conscription—abetted by the income tax and the Federal Reserve.
It’s also true of World War II, although that was a more complex situation that is beyond the scope of this brief discussion. The Korean War and the Vietnam War were unnecessary and disastrous foreign adventures enabled by conscription. Conscription gives government the raw material that it needs to fight foreign wars. More recent sport wars, such as Iraq and Afghanistan, lent themselves to professional mercenary soldiers because they were heavy on using high-tech matériel and weapons.
It’s true that several governments in Europe are beating war drums and pushing for conscription. But the coming war is going to be fought increasingly cybernetically. The battlefield itself won’t need much cannon fodder; it will use drones and robots, supplemented by highly trained and motivated spec ops guys. If things get really out of control, bioweapons and nuclear weapons will join the party; the coming war won’t require masses of draftees. It’s unlikely that many recalcitrant latte-drinking soy boys will be forced to throw their bodies into the cauldron.
The coming war will take relatively few but highly specialized and trained individuals. In fact, most boots-on-the-ground soldiers today are special operations types. They’re essentially mercs, not conscripts who are anxious to get out as soon as possible.
Most of the coming war will be fought by pros and remotely by machines. If various governments bring the draft back, it’s not going to be very useful for the military. The main point of the draft is to get people into the habit of doing what they’re told.
International Man: On a related note, a recent bipartisan bill was introduced to expedite citizenship for foreign migrants who serve in the US military.
What do you make of this trend?
Doug Casey: This is a potential disaster in the making. Hiring foreigners who don’t share values, customs, religion, or even language with the native population is asking for trouble. Big trouble. Training them in an army is one of the most stupid and dangerous ideas I can think of. And there are loads of crazy ideas around these days…
It amounts to hiring foreign mercenaries for your national army. On the bright side, though, they won’t be competent professionals. On the not-so-bright side, they’ll be easily motivated to fight against citizens. At this point, the government is scaring away the parts of the US population that were traditionally soldiers, namely white men, and trying to replace them with a non-native DEI army that has values that are not just different from but at odds with traditional America.
If migrants are given a quick pathway to citizenship by joining the army, they’ll mainly be good for controlling the citizenry. Especially now since the current regime has come out and declared traditional Americans—MAGA people, if you will, or about half the country—as being potential terrorists. Foreign migrants are the ideal material for the bad guys who—as incredible as it might seem—appear to want a civil war against traditional Americans.
International Man: Given the disturbing trends we’ve discussed today, how can people protect themselves from the danger of conscription and forced national service?
Doug Casey: There’s very little you can do other than renounce your citizenship and/or leave the country.
Or you can do what a lot of people did during the Vietnam War and simply say, “Hell no. I won’t go.” If you do that, however, you’ll be imprisoned. But perhaps that’s a better alternative than being forced to kill people you don’t even know. There’s no easy solution to the problem at this point. The situation is pretty far gone. Ultimately, we have to reform the character of the country because it’s going in the wrong direction very rapidly.

The following discussion of the draft is taken from the leaked CIA Training Manual:
Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars An Introduction Programming Manual Operations Research Technical Manual TW-SW7905.1
The Draft (As military service)
Few efforts of human behavior modification are more remarkable or more effective than that of the socio-military institution known as the draft. A primary purpose of a draft or other such institution is to instill, by intimidation, in the young males of a society the uncritical conviction that the government is omnipotent. He is soon taught that a prayer is slow to reverse what a bullet can do in an instant. Thus, a man trained in a religious environment for eighteen years of his life can, by this instrument of the government, be broken down, be purged of his fantasies and delusions in a matter of mere months. Once that conviction is instilled, all else becomes easy to instill.Even more interesting is the process by which a young man’s parents, who purportedly love him, can be induced to send him off to war to his death. Although the scope of this work will not allow this matter to be expanded in full detail, nevertheless, a coarse overview will be possible and can serve to reveal those factors which must be included in some numerical form in a computer analysis of social and war systems.
We begin with a tentative definition of the draft.
4. The draft (selectiveservice,etc.) is an institution of compulsory collective sacrifice and slavery, devised by the middle-aged and elderly for the purpose of pressing the young into doing the public dirty work. It further serves to make the youth as guilty as the elders, thus making criticism of the elders by the youth less likely (Generational Stabilizer). It is marketed and and sold to the public under the label of “patriotic = national” service.Once a candid economic definition of the draft is achieved, that definition is used to outline the boundaries of a structure called a Human Value System, which in turn is translated into the terms of game theory. The value of such a slave laborer is given in a Table of Human Values, a table broken down into categories by intellect, experience, post-service job demand, etc.Some of these categories are ordinary and can be tentatively evaluated in terms of the value of certain jobs for which a known fee exists. Some jobs are harder to value because they are unique to the demands of social subversion, for an extreme example: the value of a mother’s instruction to her daughter, causing that daughter to put certain behavioral demands upon a future husband ten or fifteen years hence; thus, by suppressing his resistance to a perversion of a government, making it easier for a banking cartel to buy the State of New York in, say, twenty years.
Such a problem leans heavily upon the observations and data of wartime espionage and many types of psychological testing. But crude mathematical models (algorithms, etc.) can be devised, if not to predict, at least to predeterminate these events with maximum certainty. What does not exist by natural cooperation is thus enhanced by calculated compulsion. Human beings are machines, levers which may be grasped and turned, and there is little real difference between automating a society and automating a shoe factory.
These derived values are variable. (It is necessary to use a current Table of Human Values for computer analysis.) These values are given in true measure rather than U.S. dollars, since the latter is unstable, being presently inflated beyond the production of national goods and services so as to give the economy a false kinetic energy (“paper” inductance).
The silver value is stable, it being possible to buy the same amount with a gram of silver today as it could be bought in 1920. Human value measured in silver units changes slightly due to changes in production technology.
Enforcement
Factor I
As in every social system approach, stability is achieved only by understanding and accounting for human nature (action/reaction patterns). A failure to do so can be, and usually is, disastrous.As in other human social schemes, one form or another of intimidation (or incentive) is essential to the success of the draft. Physical principles of action and reaction must be applied to both internal and external subsystems.
To secure the draft, individual brainwashing/programming and both the family unit and the peer group must be engaged and brought under control.
Factor II – Father
The man of the household must be housebroken to ensure that junior will grow up with the right social training and attitudes. The advertising media, etc., are engaged to see to it that father-to-be is pussy-whipped before or by the time he is married. He is taught that he either conforms to the social notch cut out for him or his sex life will be hobbled and his tender companionship will be zero. He is made to see that women demand security more than logical, principled, or honorable behavior.By the time his son must go to war, father (with jelly for a backbone) will slam a gun into junior’s hand before father will risk the censure of his peers, or make a hypocrite of himself by crossing the investment he has in his own personal

opinion or self-esteem. Junior will go to war or father will be embarrassed. So junior will go to war, the true purpose not withstanding.
Factor III – Mother
The female element of human society is ruled by emotion first and logic second. In the battle between logic and imagination, imagination always wins, fantasy prevails, maternal instinct dominates so that the child comes first and the future comes second. A woman with a newborn baby is too starry-eyed to see a wealthy man’s cannon fodder or a cheap source of slave labor. A woman must, however, be conditioned to accept the transition to “reality” when it comes, or sooner.As the transition becomes more difficult to manage, the family unit must be carefully disintegrated, and state-controlled public education and state-operated child-care centers must be become more common and legally enforced so as to begin the detachment of the child from the mother and father at an earlier age. Inoculation of behavioral drugs [Ritalin] can speed the transition for the child (mandatory). Caution: A woman’s impulsive anger can override her fear. An irate woman’s power must never be underestimated, and her power over a pussy-whipped husband must likewise never be underestimated. It got women the vote in 1920.
Factor IV – Junior
The emotional pressure for self-preservation during the time of war and the self-serving attitude of the common herd that have an option to avoid the battlefield – if junior can be persuaded to go – is all of the pressure finally

necessary to propel Johnny off to war. Their quiet blackmailings of him are the threats: “No sacrifice, no friends; no glory, no girlfriends.”
Factor V – Sister
And what about junior’s sister? She is given all the good things of life by her father, and taught to expect the same from her future husband regardless of the price.
Factor VI – Cattle
Those who will not use their brains are no better off than those who have no brains, and so this mindless school of jelly-fish, father, mother, son, and daughter, become useful beasts of burden or trainers of the same.
