The oration\u2019s resounding climax included several famous lines \u2013 that <strong>America &#8216;goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy<\/strong>,&#8217; for example, and that an America that aspired to world leadership, even in the name of noble ideas, would be led astray: &#8216;She might become the dictatress of the world. She would be no longer the ruler of her own spirit.&#8217; Even as American foreign policy has warped in many of the ways Adams foresaw, it has been unable to bury his powerful words.&#8221; (-from the &#8216;John Quincy Adams Society&#8217; website)<\/p>\n<p>It is in this light that controversial issues like America&#8217;s foreign policy, the war in Ukraine, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, globalism, a one world government, and significantly &#8211; <strong>Zionism and the neocon movement<\/strong> &#8211; are now being discussed.  Complicating the discussion is the constant matter of definition and context.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Narratives are built by removing history,&#8221; observes Salim Mansur, so as to &#8220;serve the interest of whoever you are advocating for.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not surprisingly, with the re-introduction of the relevant history into the narrative, one soon discovers that the narrative often changes radically, rarely serving the narrow interests of those promoting the original.    <!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Narratives are also manufactured by changing definitions and manipulating language.<\/strong>  For example, in the ongoing conversation that constantly requires a clarification of conflicting definitions, the neocon movement is neither &#8216;new&#8217; nor &#8216;conservative&#8217; but represents an  attempt to establish a &#8216;one-world&#8217; government at the expense of the sovereignty of nations.<\/p>\n<p>Prepared by the <strong>Project for the New American Century (PNAC)<\/strong>, the 1992 draft <strong>Defense Planning Guidance<\/strong> (DPG) was the source of ideas summarized in a report titled <strong>&#8216;Rebuilding America&#8217;s Defenses&#8217;<\/strong> which essentially outlined <strong>a three pronged strategy to maintain America&#8217;s rule over the entire globe.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>first<\/strong> objective was to prevent the emergence of a rival superpower; the <strong>second<\/strong>, to safeguard US interests and promote American values; and the <strong>third<\/strong>, to ensure that the US  be prepared to take unilateral action, thus removing it from within the framework of international law.<\/p>\n<p>Or in other words, and in direct contrast to John Quincy Adams&#8217; warning that America not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy, a unilateral decision was made to do the exact opposite.  In so doing, <strong>the neocons are always creating crisis after crisis, so as to justify taking unilateral action<\/strong> against whatever imagined foe &#8211; from Russia to Covid &#8211; must be defeated.<\/p>\n<p>Given the neocon objective of seeking &#8216;monsters to destroy,&#8217; it seems Just Right that this agenda should itself be considered monstrous.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/www.justrightmedia.org\/blog\/912-topics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/www.justrightmedia.org\/images\/buttons\/topics.gif\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"\/\/www.justrightmedia.org\/blog\/912-clips-credits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/www.justrightmedia.org\/images\/buttons\/clips_and_credits.gif\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you found this presentation valuable please consider supporting us:<br \/>\n&#x1f9e1; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.me\/justrightmedia\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">PayPal<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your browser does not support the audio element &#8220;On July 4, 1821, John Quincy Adams delivered the most-remembered speech of his career.
