EIGHTY YEARS AFTER WORLD WAR TWO



Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. This is Friday the 29th day of August in the year of our Lord 2025. This is Labor Day weekend and a 3-day vacation for most of us but the day after Labor Day is an anniversary to remember. It is the 80th anniversary of the end of World War Two. Where do we stand today with the inheritance that all those men gave us so many years ago. How have the allied leaders handled the victory they were given by the blood of their ancestors. I will look at some of the things that are happening in our world today to see if the allies have truly behaved like victors.



Next Tuesday, the 2nd of September is the 80th anniversary of the signing of the Japanese surrender documents ending World War ll. The surrender was signed on the deck of the battleship USS Missouri while it was sitting at anchor in Tokyo Bay. The Americans had the people you would expect in attendance such as Chester Nimitz, the Commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, and General Douglas MacArthur Commander of the Southern Pacific Region, who accepted the surrender on behalf of the victorious allied nations.



General MacArthur was appointed Proconsul of Japan which made him the virtual ruler of that nation on behalf of the occupying American forces. General MacArthur ruled with a compassionate, but firm hand and in a few short years the nation of Japan once a radioactive, burned our wasteland was a G-20 economy. The Japanese were resistant at first but with the encouragement of their emperor they started to buy into MacArthur’s program and they rebuilt their country as a model of American capitalism.







There were many other people on board the Missouri that day including people honored because they were seriously wounded in the Pacific War but also ex-prisoners of the Japanese who survived years of harsh treatment. When I was a child one of our neighbors was boy scour leader for my scout group. He had served on the Missouri and was pretty good at crafts so he built a scale model of the ship about 3 feet long and kept it in a separate room of his house. He had tremendous pride in his service and in being present for history.



There are very few of the veterans of that war still living and soon there will be none so every chance we get to honor them should be taken. August 14th the last fighter ace of the war died at the age of 103. His name was Thomas McPherson and he was the pilot of an F6F Hellcat fighter flying off the carrier USS Essex. In case you don’t know a fighter ace is someone who shoots down five enemy planes in aerial combat. When the war was over Tom went back home to Nebraska and became a mail carrier where he spent his working life. He was a boy scout leader and worked in his church just living a quiet and peaceful life of service. Many gallant aces, many empty places as the pilots would say at dinner. There were many aces, but none still alive from WWll. We still have aces from Korea and Vietnam of course although they are going quickly as well.



So, how the world has changed in 80 years. The U.S. dropped two atomic bombs thus ending the war but today 9 nations are believed to have nuclear weapons with about 12000 warheads in existence. Sometimes when I look at it all and I see where we are today I have to wonder who won the war. There are so many places today where the world seems to have turned upside down. Old friends are now bitter enemies and vice versa. China and Russia, our friends during the war but now enemies.



Dr. Ron Paul, who just celebrated his 90th birthday a few days ago talked about America first in one of his Liberty Reports. He pointed out that the President promised us that he would put America first at home and abroad. He said he would start no new wars and he would get us out of the existing ones. That promise still has a ways to go before it can be fulfilled. The President apparently has been unable to resist the temptation to get involved in what he called Joe Biden’s war while he was campaigning.



He faced a dilemma with trusted people offering him conflicting advice. The people who need Russia to continue as our worst enemy told him we must continue to supply every weapon and every dollar requested by Ukraine to fight the Russians. The military, intelligence, security powers, that many believe make the foreign policy decisions for the U.S., wanted that view to prevail of course. The other side said you were right Mr. President, this war is easy to end or at least for us to get out of, just stop and come home.



The President’s new policy, just announced, is a compromise. The U.S. will continue to manufacture new weapons and will send $100 billion worth of them to Europe who will then pay the American defense contractors and send the Weapons on to Ukraine. Through the “compromise” the defense people are happy because they reap the profits, but the U.S. can say we are stepping out of it so this is a European war. Like the mafia used to say, it’s a good deal because everybody wins and nobody loses.



In Israel and Gaza America first seems to have faltered as well. The U.S. is committed to billions more without addressing the issue of the slaughter and starvation. The President has admitted publicly that he believes the starvation is real and is happening but no recognition through policy changes. In the meantime, Israel continues to launch airstrikes across many countries daily. Iran is bombed almost continuously as is Yemen including the presidential palace. Syria, Iraq, and of course Gaza are all under Israeli air assaults.



If I take the position that these strikes are defensive in nature and are therefore necessary, I still must ask how Israel is paying for it. Most of the countries that make up Israel’s enemies list have to make choices as Iran is painfully aware. Do you build water infrastructure or do you support proxy terrorist groups and pursue nuclear enrichment. Those are questions and decisions that must be answered and made by most but not by Israel. Why, because you and I, the American taxpayers have their back. We back stop their military which leaves their own revenue available for other things. How is any of this America first. Well, as the President said, since he invented the term he gets to decide what it means. Trump is concerned about all this because he reportedly remarked to a big donor recently that the starvation is costing him his base. Dr. Paul’s advice is still the best, “just come home.”



Alarmingly the U.S. is starting to get militarily involved in Latin and South America and has sent 4000 U.S. Marines to waters off the coast of Venezuela. In response that country is mobilizing and seeking volunteers to fight the invading Yankees. I hope the war hawks and neocons in his group of influential advisors don’t convince him that America first means a stupid, costly war in this hemisphere.



Across the Atlantic things are not going well for what used to be called Western Civilization. In Great Britain only about 39% of Londoners are British and the country seems to have surrendered to the invaders. Where is Winston Churchill when you really need him. What Nazi Germany was unable to accomplish in five years of total war, the North African and Middle Eastern invading rape gangs have accomplished while being welcomed and celebrated by the British Government. In fact, Europe is currently in crisis perhaps one of the worst and maybe the worst since the war.



Apparently powered by some type of self-loathing and fear of being called Islamophobic, Europe has opened its doors to people who apparently come to seek European welfare and European children. Here in America if literally thousands of young girls were being raped by gangs of Islamic invaders I like to think we would resist, but not in England. No, folks the mother country has surrendered and turned its children, but apparently only the working-class girls over to the rape gangs. People are literally up in arms and in the streets over this. I am appalled that it has taken so long and I ask what happened to all those men whose fathers climbed in their Spitfires and Hurricanes and went into the sky to face the invading Nazis.



I have been waiting for people to rise up and resist and maybe that has started, but resistance has a long way to go. Great Britain seems to be the worst in all of Europe to appease the invaders while punishing their own people for their resistance. For example, just a couple of days ago in Scotland, a couple of Scottish girls aged 12 and 14 decided they would not submit to rape as they were expected to. In Dundee, Scotland, the two girls were pursued by a gang of invading child rapists and it is of course all captured on video since surveillance cameras are everywhere.



When the rape gang cornered the girls, the 14-year-old drew her knife and a hatchet in an act of resistance and she drove them off. The Scottish police, of course, quickly arrested the girl and imprisoned her for resistance. The 14-year-old had a knife and a hatchet she used to defend her 12-year-old sister. She could be heard screaming don’t touch her she’s only 12.



So, in the old country whose ancestors fought Vikings, Romans, Nepoleon and finally Nazi Germany the current government of cowards and traitors has surrendered its working-class girls to the invaders. The non-working-class of course drive their little girls in armored limousines and live behind gates and guards. The police said the 14-year-old was reported with a bladed weapon so they arrested her. She will be charged accordingly.
