Picture the resolute Ethnic American militiamen at Saratoga in 1777, their bayonets fixed and faces grim under tricorn hats, turning the tide against British regulars through sheer grit and sacrifice, securing the northern frontier for a nascent republic built by and for their posterity. Now contrast that with today’s spectacle: our sons and daughters deployed to distant sands and frozen steppes, guarding foreign borders while our own southern frontier lies porous, overrun by millions of invaders who claim our soil, our resources, and our inheritance without firing a shot.
I gaze out at the sprawling suburbs where Ethnic American families—those free white persons of good moral character, as defined by the Naturalization Act of 1790,—once thrived in security and self-determination. Today, that vision crumbles under the weight of martial misdirection: a deliberate diversion of our military might to endless foreign wars while alien hordes encroach on our homeland. This article, Part XXVII in “The Great American Displacement,” exposes how this betrayal accelerates the erasure of our ethnic continuity, drains our resources, endangers our safety, and mocks the founding covenant that pledged this republic to “ourselves and our Posterity.” It complements earlier installments by revealing the national security dimension of displacement, where foreign entanglements serve as a smokescreen for domestic invasion, compounding the economic, cultural, and ecological assaults detailed before.
The Founding Vision: A Military for Home Defense, Not Global Policing
I begin with the bedrock: our ancestors did not forge this nation to police the world. From the earliest settlements at Jamestown in 1607, where hardy colonists defended their foothold against starvation and native raids, to the frontier homesteads of Scots-Irish pioneers pushing westward in the 1800s, Ethnic Americans understood defense as a sacred duty to protect kith and kin. The Constitution itself, ratified in 1788, empowered Congress to “provide for the common defense” of the United States—not to entangle us in perpetual overseas conflicts that bleed our treasury and manpower.
Consider the words of George Washington in his Farewell Address of 1796: “The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible.” Our first president, an Ethnic American of English stock who led the Continental Army to victory at Yorktown, warned against “permanent alliances” that would draw us into distant quarrels. Yet today, in 2026, we find ourselves mired in precisely that—pouring billions into Ukraine’s endless war with Russia and Israel’s conflicts in the Middle East, while our own borders remain a sieve for mass migration.
This misdirection is no accident. It stems from a postwar shift, accelerated after World War II, when the National Security Act of 1947 created the Department of Defense (DoD) and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), institutions that prioritized global hegemony over homeland security. By the 1960s, with the Hart-Celler Act opening the floodgates to non-European immigration, the stage was set for a dual betrayal: military adventurism abroad and demographic replacement at home.
The human impact is visceral. Think of the Ethnic American veteran from a small Minnesota town, descendant of Swedish immigrants who settled the Midwest in the 1840s, returning from a tour in Afghanistan only to find his community transformed by Somali refugees—brought here under the guise of humanitarianism, but straining local resources and altering the cultural fabric his forbearers wove. This is not mere change; it’s a calculated dilution of our ethnic stock, enabled by a military stretched thin on foreign soil.
The Billions Squandered: Foreign Aid as a Slap to Our Posterity
Let me quantify the outrage with unflinching precision: while our borders groaned under record migrant surges in the early 2020s—before enforcement finally began to claw back ground in 2025—the U.S. funneled astronomical sums into foreign wars that offered zero benefit to our soil or our people. As of early 2026, total U.S. military aid to Ukraine since Russia’s 2022 invasion stands at $66.9 billion, according to the U.S. Department of State. This includes $65.9 billion committed by mid-2025 alone, dwarfing investments in our own defenses.
Similarly, aid to Israel since the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack totals $21.7 billion, per a Brown University Costs of War Project report. This encompasses $17.9 billion in the first year under the previous administration, plus ongoing missile defense funding like $3.3 billion annually for Iron Dome and David’s Sling.
But these recent drains pale against the deepest wound: the post-9/11 wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, epitomes of martial misdirection. From 2001 to 2021 in Afghanistan, we lost 2,459 U.S. military personnel—1,922 killed in hostile action, the rest from non-hostile causes—while 20,769 were wounded in action. In Iraq, from the 2003 invasion onward, the toll reached 4,431 total deaths and 31,994 wounded. Combined, nearly 7,000 Ethnic American sons and daughters—predominantly from our heartland stock, white working-class families whose forebears settled the Midwest or built the railroads—were cut down or maimed in foreign deserts that posed no direct threat to our republic. These aren’t abstract numbers; they’re severed family lines, widows raising children alone in rural Ohio or Pennsylvania, veterans from Michigan Dutch or German descent battling lifelong scars while their communities face strain from unchecked migration.
The treasure extracted is even more staggering. The post-9/11 wars—centered on Afghanistan, Iraq, and related theaters—have cost the American people about $8 trillion, according to the Brown University Costs of War Project. This comprehensive figure includes direct war spending, homeland security escalations, interest on borrowed funds, and projected obligations for veterans’ care. Veterans’ medical and disability costs alone are projected to reach between $2.2 and $2.5 trillion by 2050—most of which remains unpaid, burdening our posterity with endless debt service. That’s $8 trillion plundered from our collective inheritance, enough to have fortified every inch of our southern border with impenetrable barriers, funded mass repatriations, rebuilt crumbling infrastructure our ancestors laid, or secured the farms and neighborhoods Ethnic Americans once called their own without apology.
These sums equate to roughly $24,000 per American citizen—over $96,000 for a family of four—stolen from paychecks and futures to prop up regimes in Kabul and Baghdad that collapsed in humiliating fashion anyway, as Afghanistan’s 2021 fall demonstrated. For Ethnic American families, the impact is a direct theft of continuity and security. The national debt, now soaring past $35 trillion in 2026, inflates the cost of groceries, housing, and education, eroding the middle-class stability our European-stock forebears forged in the steel mills of Pittsburgh, the stockyards of Chicago, or the homesteads of the Great Plains. It means overwhelmed veterans’ hospitals with months-long wait times for those scarred by Fallujah or Helmand Province, while billions continue flowing to foreign aid that facilitates more chain migration and demographic pressure. And the ethnic dimension cuts deepest: these wars disproportionately claimed our kin—white Americans making up the bulk of combat deaths—weakening our demographic strength at home just as mass immigration surges to replace us.
The non-reciprocal nature of this betrayal scorches the soul. While we guarded Ukraine’s borders with our treasure and Israel’s skies with our missiles, no equivalent reciprocity shielded our own frontier. Mass immigration accelerates the hemorrhage: each migrant family imposes a net fiscal cost of $68,000 annually, per a 2023 Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) study, multiplying through chain migration. This is resources stripped from the posterity our ancestors pledged to defend under the founding covenant—a republic built by free white persons of good moral character, as the Naturalization Act of 1790 enshrined, not to subsidize endless overseas adventures while invaders claim our soil.
These figures aren’t abstract accounting; they represent the blood and sweat of Ethnic American families diverted from home defense to global policing. Our forebears who tamed the West and built skyscrapers did so for their descendants’ security and prosperity—not to fund quagmires that leave us vulnerable at our gates. This is the slap to posterity: trillions squandered abroad while our inheritance erodes at home.
The Porous Frontier: Invaders Claiming Strategic Soil
Even as border encounters hit record lows in 2025—91,603 in the first quarter of FY 2026, a 95% drop from Biden-era peaks—the legacy of prior invasions lingers. Over 10 million illegal crossings occurred from 2021-2024, per CBP data, embedding potential threats near our strategic assets.
Consider the proximity: migrants have settled in communities abutting key military installations. In San Diego, near Naval Base Coronado, asylum seekers from China and the Middle East strain housing, raising espionage risks. A 2025 FBI report tracked over 100 incidents of Chinese nationals posing as tourists to breach U.S. military sites, including attempts at Twentynine Palms Marine Corps Base in California.
Mass immigration exacerbates this: non-reciprocal visa programs like H-1B allow foreign nationals access to sensitive tech hubs near bases, such as Silicon Valley adjacent to Moffett Federal Airfield. A 2025 Heritage Foundation analysis warns that unchecked migration promotes “espionage in plain sight,” with Chinese operatives exploiting open borders.
The personal toll on Ethnic American families is profound. Picture a father in El Paso, Texas—descendant of Irish railroad workers who built the transcontinental line in the 1860s—watching his neighborhood near Fort Bliss fill with Venezuelan gangs, his children’s safety compromised while our troops train Ukrainians overseas. This is the betrayal of our founding covenant: a republic secured for posterity, now handed to invaders.
Quantifying the Diversion: Data on Dollars and Dangers
To drive home the scale, I present the following tables, drawing on reputable sources to expose the fiscal chasm between foreign entanglements and home defense. Our defense budget for 2026 alone is more than the National Debt from 1776-1980!
Table 1: U.S. Military Spending Allocation – FY 2025 vs. FY 2026 (in billions)
| Category | FY 2025 Amount | FY 2026 Proposed | Percentage Change | Source Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total Defense Budget | 852 | 1,010 | +18.5% | White House FY 2026 Budget |
| Foreign Military Aid (Ukraine/Israel) | 88.6 (cumulative) | 25 (estimated additional) | +28% | Brown University Costs of War |
| Border Security (DHS Allocation) | 25.9 | 64.4 | +148% | DHS FY 2026 Budget in Brief |
| Overseas Contingency Operations | 50 | 60 | +20% | Congressional Budget Office |
This table illustrates the skewed priorities: defense swells for global roles, while border funding, though increased, lags behind aid outflows.
Table 2: Recent Espionage Incidents Involving Foreign Nationals Near U.S. Bases (2025-2026)
| Incident Date | Location/Base | Description | Involved Nationality | Source Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| March 2025 | Twentynine Palms, CA | Group attempted unauthorized entry, posing as tourists | Chinese | Fox News Report |
| July 2025 | Naval Base Coronado, CA | Surveillance drone operation linked to migrants | Iranian-linked | FBI China Threat |
| November 2025 | Fort Bliss, TX | Arrest for photographing installations | Venezuelan | Heritage Foundation Commentary |
| January 2026 | Moffett Airfield, CA | Espionage via H-1B worker | Chinese | CSIS Significant Cyber Incidents |
These incidents underscore the risks: mass immigration places threats in striking distance of our assets.
The Complicity of Institutions: Coercion, Collusion, and Cowardice in High Places
Now, to the heart of the betrayal—the legislative, judicial, and institutional enablers who have coerced, colluded, or cowered in the face of this martial misdirection. This section demands depth, for the rot runs deep, spanning decades but accelerating in recent years. I write this with a controlled fury, reserving my strongest outrage for the systematic undermining of our republic’s defenses.
Start with Congress: the body empowered by Article I to declare war and control the purse. In 2025, amid record-low border encounters under renewed enforcement, lawmakers voted overwhelmingly for foreign aid packages that dwarfed domestic security investments. The FY 2026 Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act (H.R. 7147), passed 220-207 in January 2026, allocated $64.4 billion to DHS, including $10 billion for state border reimbursements—a step forward, yet paltry against the $1.2 trillion omnibus spending bill that bundled it with unchecked foreign aid. Democrats, led by Hakeem Jeffries, decried the $10 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as excessive, while Republicans pushed through $6.2 billion in Foreign Military Financing, including $3.3 billion for Israel. This vote, reported by Reuters, exemplifies collusion: bipartisan agreement on global spending, but partisan gridlock on borders.
Historically, this pattern traces to the 1965 Immigration Act, but judicial complicity amplified it. The Supreme Court‘s 1982 Plyler v. Doe ruling mandated education for illegal immigrant children, costing taxpayers $135 billion annually by 2025, per FAIR estimates, diverting funds from military readiness. More recently, in 2025, federal judges blocked aspects of the Alien Enemies Act invocations, allowing potential spies to remain, as noted in a BBC report. This cowardice—refusing to enforce laws against enemy nationals—echoes the coercion of globalist lobbies like the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and defense contractors such as Lockheed Martin, who donated $58 million to congressional campaigns in 2024-2025, per OpenSecrets.
Institutional cowardice shines in the DoD’s priorities. The 2026 National Defense Strategy elevates Western Hemisphere threats like migration, yet allocates only 5% of the $1.01 trillion budget to border support, while 20% funds overseas operations. Collusion with the United Nations via pacts like the Global Compact for Migration facilitates this, treating invasion as “regular migration” and coercing U.S. policy.
The FBI and CIA collude by focusing on “domestic extremism” among Ethnic Americans protesting displacement, while downplaying foreign espionage. A 2025 FBI memo, leaked and reported by Fox News, admitted over 100 Chinese breach attempts but prioritized “white supremacist” threats. This inversion betrays our posterity, as agencies cower before political correctness.
Finally, the executive branch’s coercion: under prior administrations, Executive Order 13769 travel bans were gutted by courts, allowing threats entry. In 2025, even as deportations surged to 295,000, per New York Times, institutional inertia from holdover bureaucrats slowed progress.
This complicity demands accountability. Our ancestors, who endured the siege of Yorktown, would not tolerate it.
Tying to the Series: The Unified Assault on Our Inheritance
This martial misdirection dovetails with the broader displacement chronicled in prior parts. As I detailed in Part XXVI: Foreign Land Ownership and Ecological Erasure, alien investors gobble up farmland while our military guards foreign fields. It echoes Part V’s expose on the illegal invasion, where open borders invited the very threats now near our bases. The crime multipliers in Part XII amplify with espionage, and the elite betrayal in Part XX finds its military arm here. Together, these threads weave a tapestry of erasure, stripping Ethnic Americans of land, safety, and sovereignty.
Call to Action: Reclaiming Our Defenses Now
Fellow Ethnic Americans, the hour is urgent—act with the resolve of our frontier forebears.
- Contact your congressional representatives weekly, demanding a moratorium on foreign aid until borders are sealed; cite the FY 2026 votes as evidence of misplaced priorities.
- Support and fund organizations like FAIR to lobby for revoking non-reciprocal visas and ending chain migration.
- Organize local watch groups to monitor areas near military bases, reporting suspicious activities to the FBI.
- Educate your community through town halls, invoking the 1790 Act to rally for ethnic continuity.
- Boycott companies profiting from foreign wars, like defense contractors, and redirect spending to American-made goods.
- Vote in every election for candidates pledging “America First” defense policies.
- Document and share stories of displacement impacts on social media, tagging #GreatAmericanDisplacement.
- Prepare personally: learn self-defense, stock resources, and build networks with like-minded Ethnic Americans.
- Push for constitutional amendments to limit foreign entanglements, echoing Washington’s warnings.
- Donate to and support America First-aligned veteran organizations—such as Veterans for America First, the Veterans and America First Foundation, or the Gary Sinise Foundation.

A Personal Note from James Sewell
From my vantage in Phoenix, where the desert sun beats down on neighborhoods once safe for our children but now shadowed by the specter of invasion, I urge you: rise as our ancestors did at Jamestown, forging a future from peril. Our posterity depends on reclaiming this republic—act now, or lose it forever.
