Washington’s Farewell Address first appeared publicly on September 19, 1796. Washington characterized his address as “the disinterested warnings of a parting friend, who can possibly have no personal motive to bias his counsel.” He warned his countrymen to expect “the batteries of internal and external enemies” to be directed against the country. He exhorted his fellow citizens to preserve their union to gain “greater security from external danger, a less frequent interruption of their peace by foreign nations,” and to avoid civil wars. Anticipating Eisenhower’s warning issued more than a century and a half later, Washington noted the danger of “those overgrown military establishments, which under any form of government are inauspicious to liberty, and which are to be regarded as particularly hostile to republican liberty.” Washington also warned that “love of power and proneness to abuse it . . . predominates in the human heart.” His view of human nature informed his counsel on foreign policy.

The US has announced it is withdrawing from dozens of international bodies that no longer serve American interests, including major UN and non-UN forums focused on climate, migration, social policy, peace, and democracy.
President Donald Trump had signed a memorandum suspending support for a total of 66 organizations, agencies, and commissions “that operate contrary to US national interests, security, economic prosperity, or sovereignty,” the White House said on Thursday.
“These withdrawals end taxpayer support for entities that advance globalist agendas over US priorities or address key issues inefficiently,” the statement read, adding that many of them targeted “radical climate policies, global governance, and ideological programs conflicting with US sovereignty and economic strength.”
Affected organizations: UNFCCC, the UN’s main body for climate negotiations; UN Women, the body dealing with gender equality; and UNFPA, a major agency on population and demographics.

Nearly every state has specific statutes that criminalize willfully interrupting or disturbing a religious assembly or worship service. These laws protect the right of people to gather and practice their religion without intentional interference.
Let the Minneapolis arrests begin.
As revealed in a 1955 research and development program memo from the CIA’s Technical Services Staff/Chemical Division, the MK Ultra objectives went far beyond interrogation tools. They envisioned a arsenal of covert chemicals designed to manipulate behavior on a massive scale, administered without detection to render people compliant, confused, or crippled.
Here’s the smoking gun: the memo’s explicit list of desired substances and methods, quoted verbatim from the declassified records:
