From: Constitution Party of Clarion County http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org Darrell Castle discusses the concept of a war criminal. Who gets to define what a war crime is and once that is established, who determines when someone has committed one of the criminal acts defined as a war crime?Transcription / NotesWHAT IS A WAR CRIMINAL?Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 24th day of July in the year of our Lord 2026. My beat is still war today, but with the added distinction of talking about what some choose to call war criminals. The question for today then is who gets to decide what a war crime is and who decides if someone has committed one of those crimes he has defined as a war crime.The International Criminal Court, established by the 1998 Rome Statute and beginning operations in 2002 has been given the right to declare certain people war criminals and to issue indictments against that person which should involve arrest and prosecution. We know from our American system that charges and indictment do not make one g... http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org/News?articleid=301917&view=post&blogid=11057 Tue, 28 Jul 2026 00:00:00 -0400 Darrell Castle talks about war and the President’s statement that it is basically over and we won. Is that statement true and what are the most recent developments in Iran.Transcription / NotesTHE WAR HAS BEEN WONHello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 27th day of March in the year of our Lord 2026. I will be talking about war today and the President's statement that it is basically over and we won. Is that statement true and what are the most recent developments in Iran.What is war but the most horrific thing in which a country, a people, can engage. It is killing on an industrialized scale and from the carpet-bombing campaigns of WWll to the guided munitions of today it is about killing. It is the young men of a country being ordered by the old men of that country to kill the young men of another country but they kill everybody, men, women, little schoolgirls, everybody. Unless done for purely defensive purposes it is immoral and unconsc... http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org/News?articleid=301578&view=post&blogid=11057 Sun, 19 Jul 2026 00:00:00 -0400 Darrell Castle turns his attention away from the pressing issue of war and looks at Christians and Christianity as we near the end of Holy Week.Transcription / Notes:THE RESTORATION OF LIBERTYHello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 3rd day of April in the year of our Lord 2026. I'm very happy that I have something to talk about besides war today. This is in fact Good Friday and in honor of that date and with Easter Sunday just a couple of days away I turn my attention away from the pressing issue of war and look at Christians and Christianity as we near the end of holy week.First, I want to say a few words about the title of this Castle Report and where that title comes from especially since we are currently in the 250th anniversary year of America. My argument is that the founders rather than trying to build a utopian perfect world were seeking the restoration of liberties they once had. The Declaration, written by Thomas Jefferson but inspired ... http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org/News?articleid=301577&view=post&blogid=11057 Sun, 19 Jul 2026 00:00:00 -0400 Darrell Castle talks about whether or not the United States should leave NATO and whether that decision would bring about a new U.S./Iran order in the Middle East.Transcription / Notes:THE END OF NATOHello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 10th day of April in the year of our Lord 2026. My beat today is once again war but I am so tired of war each week that I have decided to carve a niche out of the unexpected results of our current war and that is NATO and its possible end for the United States.I'm sure you all know what NATO is but as a refresher it is a treaty (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) in which the U.S. along with the other members agreed to come to each other's aid if attacked. The purpose was to prevent and protect against a Soviet attack in Europe like the NAZI's had done.Everything worked fine when there was a Soviet Union to fight and to protect against. The cold war justified the massive defense spending by the U.S. which allo... http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org/News?articleid=301576&view=post&blogid=11057 Sun, 19 Jul 2026 00:00:00 -0400 Darrell Castle talks about the fact, proven over centuries, that war is easy to start but hard to get out of and if one gets out, the continuing effects exist long into the future.Transcription / NotesTHE SHELF LIFE OF THE IRANIAN WARHello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 13th day of March in the year of our Lord 2026. Once again my beat is war and Friday the 13th seems like a good day to talk about something so unpleasant. I will be talking about the fact, proven over centuries, that war is easy to start but hard to get out of and if one gets out the continuing effects exist long into the future.Yes, this is Friday the 13th once again and we are only two days from the Ides of March which was the date of Julius Ceasar's assassination on 15 March 44 BC. He was born in 100 BC so by my rough calculations that would make him 2126 years old today. Why talk about Ceasar more than 2000 years after his death, because he has been the gold standard for le... http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org/News?articleid=301512&view=post&blogid=11057 Sun, 19 Jul 2026 00:00:00 -0400 Today, Friday, March 20, 2026, Darrell Castle talks about the resignation of Joe Kent as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center and especially about the ramifications of the letter he publicly released explaining his resignation.Transcription / Notes:GOODBYE JOEHello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. I will be talking about the resignation of Joe Kent as Director of The National Counterterrorism Center and especially about the ramifications of the letter he publicly released explaining his resignation.Yes, Joe is gone and I for one will miss him in government because he was not afraid to ask questions and to encourage legitimate investigations into things which didn't make sense from the official government explanation. First, let's take a brief look at who he is and how he became Director of Counterterrorism.He was born April 11, 1980, so next month he will be 46 years old. He enlisted in the U.S. Army after 9-11 and made it through Ranger School where h... http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org/News?articleid=301511&view=post&blogid=11057 Sun, 19 Jul 2026 00:00:00 -0400 Darrell Castle talks about a bill currently working its way through the U.S. Congress which would, if passed, literally integrate the U.S. and Israeli militaries and would put funding for the Israeli military on auto pilot. Will it pass and be signed by the President? Many people seem to think it will so he takes a look at it today.THE ISRAELIZATION OF THE U.S. MILITARYHello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 12th of June in the year of our Lord 2026. I will be talking about a bill currently working its way through the United States Congress which would, if passed, literally integrate the U.S. and Israeli militaries and would put funding for the Israeli military on auto pilot. Will it pass and be signed by the President. Many people seem to think it will so we take a look at it today.Yes, unfortunately it seems that certain members of the House of Representatives and the Senate of the United States are now ready to complete the process of uniting... http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org/News?articleid=301510&view=post&blogid=11057 Sun, 19 Jul 2026 00:00:00 -0400 Darrell Castle talks about Father’s Day, what it means, and why it is important to honor fathers.Transcription / Notes:FATHER'S DAYHello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 19th day of June in the year of our Lord 2026. I previously did a Report on Mother's Day and what it means so today I will be talking about Father's Day, what it means and why it is important to honor fathers.Yes, we are two days away from Father's Day which falls on the 21st of June this year. It is dedicated as a Federal Holiday falling on the third Sunday of June each year. The holiday was started in Spokane, Washington in 1910 by a woman named Snora Smart Dodd who was inspired by a Mother's Day sermon and she wanted to honor her father in the same way.Her father was a Civil War veteran named William Jackson Smart who was the father of 6 children. His wife died in childbirth and he raised his 6 kids alone. His daughter thought that he had lived his life with honor so sh... http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org/News?articleid=301509&view=post&blogid=11057 Sun, 19 Jul 2026 00:00:00 -0400 Darrell Castle talks about the 4th of July and how Americans traditionally celebrate the independence of our country from England. For those who say they won’t celebrate because they are not getting everything they want from America, I say perhaps you don’t understand what the ideals of America really are supposed to be or perhaps it is because in your heart this is not your country.Transcription / Notes250 YEARS OF BEING AMERICANHello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 3rd day of July in the year of our Lord 2026. Tomorrow is the 4th of July when traditionally we celebrate the independence of our Country from England. To those who say they won't celebrate because they are not getting everything they want from America I say perhaps you don't understand what the ideals of America really are supposed to be or perhaps you don't celebrate because this is not your country.That is more than just a snarky, love it or leave it comment, becaus... http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org/News?articleid=301508&view=post&blogid=11057 Sun, 19 Jul 2026 00:00:00 -0400 Darrell Castle discusses war once again because it seems that the more we are told a political solution has been reached, the more missiles and drones are fired at more targets. Then retaliation has to come so, no solution.Transcription / Notes:THE ENEMY GETS A VOTEHello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 17th day of July in the year of our Lord 2026. My beat today is war once again because it seems that the more we are told a political solution has been reached more missiles and drones are fired at more targets and then retaliation has to come so no solution.The president is in a difficult position but it is apparently of his own making. He is not an Eisenhower with many years of experience commanding vast armies in some of the biggest campaigns in human history. He instead is forced to rely on his team of advisors and so they tell him where he should go and what the consequences will be. They must have told him that Iran was ripe for the taking ... http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org/News?articleid=301507&view=post&blogid=11057 Sun, 19 Jul 2026 00:00:00 -0400 Darrell Castle discusses President Trump’s angry, profanity laced tirade directed at Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel. Did it really happen and if so why did it happen and if it did not happen, why say that it did.Transcriptions / NotesTRUMP UNLOADS ON NETANYAHUHello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 5th day of June in the year of our Lord 2026. My beat today is war and as usual there is no shortage of war to talk about but today I discuss President Trump's angry, profanity laced tirade directed at Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel. Did it really happen and if so why did it happen and if it did not happen then why say that it did.Its no secret that Trump wants the U.S. role in the war against Iran ended and quickly. The war has placed the world's economy in jeopardy and therefore its end is imperative. To that end Trump has been negotiating with somebody representing Iran while using Pakistan as the broker. Every time it looks positive ... http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org/News?articleid=300145&view=post&blogid=11057 Fri, 5 Jun 2026 00:00:00 -0400 Darrell Castle talks about the war, declared by President Trump, against the nation of Iran. Does he have Constitutional authority to declare war; why would he do so; and what does it mean?Transcription / NotesPRESIDENT TRUMP DECLARES WAR AGAINST IRANHello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 6th day of March in the year of our Lord 2026. My beat is war today and war is obviously the most important story in the world right now as President Trump, unilaterally it seems, decided to make war against a nation that apparently had not harmed the U.S. and was not a threat to the U.S.Why then did President Trump do it. I'll give my thoughts on that but first let's look at what he did. The U.S. spent a few months building up forces in the Middle East region while negotiating or pretending to negotiate a settlement. The U.S. demands became increasingly more difficult for the Iranians to comply with including give up the use of peaceful nuclear power except fo... http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org/News?articleid=300044&view=post&blogid=11057 Thu, 4 Jun 2026 00:00:00 -0400 Darrell Castle talks about the resignation of Tulsi Gabbard from her position as Director of National Intelligence, and why she made the decision to resign. Was it because of her husband’s illness or something else.Transcription / NotesTULSI'S GONEHello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 29th day of May in the year of our Lord 2026. I will be talking about the resignation of Tulsi Gabbard from her position as Director of National Intelligence, and about why Tulsi made the decision to resign. Was her decision because of her husband's illness or was it something else.Tulsi never seemed to fit into Washington like a typical Washington politician. She never seemed willing to lie and cheat her way to the top as is typical of Washington. From the beginning of her prominence, she seemed a little too honest and too forthright for Washington politics. Nevertheless, she was a politician having served as a Democrat in congress from the state of Hawaii... http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org/News?articleid=299692&view=post&blogid=11057 Fri, 29 May 2026 00:00:00 -0400 Darrell Castle talks about the State of the Union Address by reviewing a few of the things President Trump said and the reaction of his opponents, as well as providing a Constitutional response.Transcription / NotesSOTU – A RESPONSEHello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 27th day of February in the year of our Lord 2026. I will be talking about the State of the Union Address delivered last Tuesday by President Donald Trump. I will comment on a few of the things he said and on the reaction of his opponents to those things and then I will do what I am often asked to do and that is give a Constitutional response.The President spoke for almost two hours the longest speech in SOTU history. He spoke mostly about the achievements of his second term and he mentioned that America is entering a golden age. He emphasized patriotism and heroes and he invited many of them to the speech including the gold medal winning men's Olympic hockey team.According... http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org/News?articleid=299600&view=post&blogid=11057 Thu, 28 May 2026 00:00:00 -0400 Darrell Castle talks about President Trump’s recent summit with Premier Xi in China and points out the similarities with President Nixon’s summit in China in 1972.Transcription / NotesNIXON WENT TO CHINA TOOHello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 22nd day of May in the year of our Lord 2026. President Trump just completed a three-day historic summit with Premier Xi in China. He is not the first President to visit China since President Nixon made that trip in 1972 when China was a far different nation than today as it was in the throes of suffering through the Maoist revolution.This is the Friday before Memorial Day when we pause to remember the fallen and for most it is the start of a 3-day weekend, but for Joan and I it is a different sort of anniversary to remember. Forty-nine years ago, on this date we saw each other for the first time because we were introduced on a blind date with mutual friends.

This is Friday the 20th day of February in the year of our Lord 2026. I will be talking about the continuing saga of Jeffrey Epstein and what that saga means for the relationship between the global ruling elite and the people.Yes, folks we are faced with a moral dilemma today and that dilemma is what to do when we find out that the ruling elite of the West, not just America but the West has completely abandoned the moral bedrock upon which the whole system is based. Western Civilization also known as Christian Civilization is based on a system of moral principles and if those principles are adhered to by everyone the system works and we can pass it on to our offspring.Now that entire belief system has been turned u... http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org/News?articleid=299183&view=post&blogid=11057 Thu, 21 May 2026 00:00:00 -0400 Darrell Castle returns to the discussion of war by talking about a war not spoken of so much since it has been driven from the headlines by the war against Iran.Transcription / NotesVLADIMIR PUTIN, DONALD TRUMP, AND THE DECLINE OF EMPIRESHello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 15th day of May in the year of our Lord 2026. My beat today is once again war but we visit a war not spoken of so much since it has been driven from the headlines by the war against Iran. Yes, we don't hear much about Ukraine these days but it continues to cost lives, and resources and it continues to threaten the global geopolitical order.I'm sure you remember, if you are a long-term sufferer of these Reports, that back in 2014 in the eastern provinces of Ukraine the people voted overwhelmingly to become or remain part of the Russian Federation but that decision didn't sit well with Victoria Nuland who was the U.S. State Department representative there. She helped instigat... http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org/News?articleid=298828&view=post&blogid=11057 Fri, 15 May 2026 00:00:00 -0400 Darrell Castle shares his thoughts on those who seem caught up in the Epstein files and if correct, suggests that every system of power on earth is currently run by satanic pedophiles.Transcription / NotesTHE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILSHello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday, the 13th day of February in the year of our Lord 2026. Friday the 13th and it is apparently a very unlucky day for some of those caught up in the Epstein files. Who is caught up in the files, just about everybody who is anybody it seems, all the rich and powerful, but as I said in the title the devil literally is in the details.Yes, folks it is rather shocking to find that the whole world is run by satanic pedophiles but that is what the recent release of over 3 million documents that constitute about half of the Epstein files seem to be telling the world. Royal families torn apart, heads of state, cabinet secretaries, titans of banking and industry, owners of sports teams, ex-commi... http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org/News?articleid=298736&view=post&blogid=11057 Thu, 14 May 2026 00:00:00 -0400 Darrell Castle doesn’t talks about war today, but about mothers and Mother’s Day.Transcription / NotesMOTHER'S DAYHello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 8th day of May in this the year of our Lord 2026. I am so happy today because my beat is not war but mothers which will make most people happy and uplifted because after all who doesn't like and respect mothers and stories about them.Mother's Day as a national holiday had kind of a dual start or I guess you could say dual founders. Both of the women who started the day as a way to honor and support mothers did it because of the severe rural poverty and resulting infant mortality in their native Appalachia. In 1887 Mary Towles Sasseen from Henderson Kentucky led her class since she was a teacher, in what is believed to be the first observance of Mother's Day. Mary traveled around Kentucky and Ohio trying to have the day recognized as a national holiday but she died in 1906 before that... http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org/News?articleid=298355&view=post&blogid=11057 Fri, 8 May 2026 00:00:00 -0400 Darrell Castle talks about what is going on in Minneapolis as well as the state of Minnesota — what is going on there, does anyone care, and what about fraud.Transcription / NotesMINNESOTA IS A STRANGE PLACEHello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 6th day of February in the year of our Lord 2026. Although I am a little late for the party I will be talking about what is going on in Minneapolis as well as the state of Minnesota. What in the world is going on there and does anyone care about the violence and death, and also what about the fraud.Was a 37-year-old ICU nurse really a threat to the ICE agents in Minnesota? Do Americans who film such agents as they try to do their jobs belong on government lists. Should the presence of ICE agents in Minnesota be eliminated since the politicians and the people apparently are violently opposed to their presence. The answers to these questions, unfortunately, almost always depend on one's political par... http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org/News?articleid=298267&view=post&blogid=11057 Thu, 7 May 2026 00:00:00 -0400 Darrell Castle provides some options to end the war that Washington is currently fighting against Iran.Transcription / NotesOPTIONS TO END THE WAR AGAINST IRANHello this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 1st day of May in this the year of our Lord 2026. Yes today is May Day but my beat once again is war. This time I am looking for options to end the war that Washington is currently fighting against Iran.Donald Trump began the U.S./Israel war against Iran apparently because he wanted to deny Iran the chance to build its own nuclear weapon. That was at least the stated reason for starting the war. Suppose you are Iran and the U.S, demands that you dismantle and cease your nuclear weapons development program. Would you have any reason to comply with that demand considering what has happened to other countries in the Middle East.Acquiring nuclear weapons might be the only way left to prevent becoming a victim of a regime change war. Think about it like thi... http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org/News?articleid=297860&view=post&blogid=11057 Fri, 1 May 2026 00:00:00 -0400 We, as a community, have the power to shape the future generation.
