NEVER FORGOTTEN
Supporting Americans & Local National Allies left behind in conflict states.
Our Mission
Never Forgotten’s mission is to employ expertise derived from Special Operations and Intelligence activities to utilize, develop and integrate the best available technological, scientific, and indigenous knowledge to assist in rescuing American citizens and allies left behind in Afghanistan when the U.S. Military departed Afghanistan in August 2021, or left behind in similar situations.
Never Forgotten is now conducting operations supporting American citizens and allies in Israel.
Never Forgotten was founded by a collective of United States military veterans who brought together their exceptional connections, skill sets, and diverse backgrounds in response to the urgent necessity for aiding American citizens and Allies during the Afghanistan withdrawal, ensuring safe transportation in a war torn environment.
The Complicity of Compliance, Robin Koerner
By Robin Koerner October 15, 2023
We live in an age of agendas.
But agendas cannot make morality or be moral: only human agency can do that.
As history attests, most of the greatest evils require that enough people give up enough of their agency in the name of an agenda.
Understanding the power and responsibility of agency, the morally courageous know that they are wholly responsible for all of their actions, independently of any agenda. They are the people for whom no external cause or abstract, general claim can make a wrong action right, justify a violation of conscience, or make a lie tellable.
It is worth noting how fundamental is the correlation between acting against conscience and speaking untruth: falsehood is wrongdoing’s greatest helper.
We become aware of conscience only when we are facing a decision or having an idea that troubles it. At that point, conscience provides a sense that some way of proceeding would be right or wrong. When we choose to go against conscience, which is to do something that morally troubles us, in almost every case, we have a positive reason to do so that involves some benefit to ourselves.
Thus, when the agenda is wrong, compliance is complicity.
The virtue that matters at times of such choices is moral courage. That is the quality exhibited by the person who chooses the right thing at a cost to herself because the only alternative is to choose the wrong thing at a cost to someone else. It is the quality of the person who asserts his agency against someone else’s agenda.

How My Views on Government Have Changed, Aaron Hertzberg
How My Views on Government Have Changed
By Aaron Hertzberg August 27, 2023
Now, I regard the government as fundamentally evil on par with other classical evil regimes throughout human history — something made clear by the government’s behavior during the pandemic.
1. The government went out of their way to suppress, sabotage, and destroy every available effective covid treatment, which by itself caused hundreds of thousands of deaths if not millions around the world.
2. The other covid policies – lockdowns, facemasks, and the other forms of social restrictions – were some of the most evil and pernicious policies ever implemented by a society that considers itself to be ethical.
3. The covid vaccines – funded, marketed, and mandated by the government – were barely effective for maybe a few months at most, but caused a significant amount of death and severe life-altering injuries ..
4. The government tried to dehumanize unvaccinated people, and largely succeeded…This sort of evil abhorrent demagoguery is historically exactly how a society is groomed to accept genocide of a minority group or faction within society.
5. The government prosecuted the most significant and consequential censorship regime in the history of any Western country, which besides for the widespread carnage it caused also demonstrates that the government has no regard for the rule of law or legal norms whatsoever and believes in a radical “ends justify the means” with no clear limitation.
6. The government is now acting like a dictatorial regime to label and categorize the positions of its political opposition as a “terrorist threat” (e.g. parents protesting school boards, religious Catholics, Latin mass adherents, advocates for gun rights, parental rights, etc., opponents of covid and other governmental policies, people who are skeptical of the official “man-made climate change” orthodoxy, et al).
7. The government is persecuting political dissent. The most obvious examples of this are the indictments of President Trump.
8. The US government is not only endorsing, marketing, and using its considerable power to impose the barbaric ideology of a litany of sexual deviancies that are nihilistic and depraved even beyond anything ever attributed to Sodom.
9. The government is deliberately and willfully trying to impoverish its own citizens, and deprive them of many products that have become staple amenities in society (such as air conditioning, gas stoves, cars, etc etc etc etc).
10. The government is encouraging and implementing a systematic regime of apartheid, particularly against straight white men.
11. The government as a general entity is a pathological liar…practically everything they say now is a calculated lie.
In a general sense, the government is a diabolical, evil institution that is primarily concerned with pushing twisted ideologies, mutilating children, and persecuting political dissent, while willing to kill millions in pursuit of whatever political or other objectives they are trying to achieve.
The Great Game of Let’s Pretend, Jeffrey A. Tucker
The Great Game of Let’s Pretend
By Jeffrey A. Tucker August 25, 2023
The biggest issues in American life, which everyone experienced with vast tragedy and death all around, and about which everyone knows, are suddenly too sensitive to bring up. It’s something of which multitudes are aware but because all official institutions were involved, all official institutions are quiet about it. As a result, the great reckoning we need for renewal is farther off than ever.
Meanwhile, we’ve got Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., out there on countless public interviews, as a presidential candidate, saying remarkable things like 1) the CIA in 1963 killed his uncle who was president, 2) the intelligence community works with Big Pharma on gain-of-function research to create and cure new killer viruses, 3) they germ-gamed the lockdowns since 2001, 4) the lockdowns of March 2020 was a coup d’etat against representative democracy, 5) right now we have industry-captured Deep-State agencies that are ruling America who have no regard whatsoever for the US Constitution or the idea of freedom.
So everyone in the top layer of this manufactured consent is glad to play along with this great game of pretend.The silence about the truth is utterly deafening. It’s not just that we aren’t getting answers to our questions; we aren’t even getting questions outside a handful of venues including this one.
…It turns out that he was a prophet of just how corrupt a highly politicized society with overweening bureaucracy can be in practice when careerism trumps courage and the cash nexus spreads the coercive mindset throughout all the commanding heights of the social order.

The Brilliant Legal Mind of John Sauer, Aaron Kheriaty
The Brilliant Legal Mind of John Sauer
By Aaron Kheriaty August 19, 2023
The U.S. Supreme Court’s watershed First Amendment opinions express a radically different view of freedom. “If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion.” W. Virginia State Bd. of Educ. v. Barnette, 319 U.S. 624, 642 (1943). “Our constitutional tradition stands against the idea that we need Oceania’s Ministry of Truth.” United States v. Alvarez, 567 U.S. 709, 723 (2012) (plurality op.).
The Louisiana case is one part of a titanic struggle between these two visions of freedom. The former view—the view reflected in the actions of federal censorship agents like Jennifer Psaki, Rob Flaherty, Andy Slavitt, Dr. Vivek Murthy, Carol Crawford, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Jen Easterly, Matthew Masterson, Brian Scully, Alex Stamos, Rene DiResta, Kate Starbird, Elvis Chan, Laura Dehmlow, and a host of other federal censors—is terrifying and tyrannical, and its power is expanding rapidly. But the latter view is the vision enshrined in the plain text of our Constitution and deeply engrained in our traditions of liberty. I am profoundly hopeful that this latter vision of freedom will prevail.

EXPLOSIVE VIDEO: Former Ukrainian Prosecutor Viktor Shokin Responds to Biden’s Corruption Accusations and Reveals Shocking Details about His Dismissal and Burisma Investigation, Jim Hoff
by Jim Hᴏft Aug. 4, 2023
Shokin maintained that the real motivation behind Biden’s push for his removal was to protect his personal and family interests rather than the interests of the American people.
More from the video interview:
Question: In your opinion, to what extent did Joe Biden interfere in the inter affairs of Ukraine? Did you sometimes depend on American approval?
Shokin: Under the Obama presidency, it seemed to be the case. The most shocking thing is that all the appointments were made in agreement with the United States and with Biden in particular even at the level of the deputy Prosecutor General that I know for sure.
Question: If Joe Biden were in front of you, what would you tell him?
Shokin: I wish him luck, because he will need it. In my opinion, his moral and individual qualities are very low and to continue living normally in the United States or in another country he will need to be lucky. If the law is applied to Joe Biden, in Ukraine or in the United States then most likely he will be held responsible for the actions he committed.

EXC: Hunter Biden Was Managing Director At Chinese Military Proxy Planning To Wage ‘Warfare’ Against America And Make China The ‘World’s Leading Country, Natalie Winters
Deleted strategy papers from CEFC China Energy – a Chinese Communist Party-run company where Hunter Biden served as Managing Director – detailed plans for China to “surpass” America as the “world’s leading country” while coordinating forms of “warfare” to influence other countries away from viewing the Chinese Communist Party as a “threat.”
Other articles on the now-deleted website include plotting how to weaponize energy and currency to help China’s standing on the global stage rise such as “China Should Take the Initiative in Gaining Oil Pricing Power” and “Political Path for the Internationalization of Chinese Renminbi.”

The Obama Factor
A Q&A with historian David Garrow
“I doubt that in the long run, Obama’s foreign-policy failures are going to be seen as the most important part of his legacy. I think future historians are going to look at the Obama presidency and see it as the moment when this new oligarchy merged with the Democratic Party and used the capacities of these new technologies and the power of this new class of people, the oligarchs and their servants, to create a new apparatus of social control. How far they can go with it, what the limits are … you see them trying to test it out every week or so.” ~ David Samuels

If I Were The Deep State – Deploying Relentless Lawfare, Sundance
If I Were The Deep State – Deploying Relentless Lawfare
July 24, 2023 | Sundance
If I were the Deep State…
Exceptional article, outlining the Biden DC agenda and the perspective of the American majority. This is the crux, the essence, the core reason behind the upcoming victory of the American people, through Trump, over a comprehensively corrupt DC apparatus:
[…] What we have seen over the years is that every time the Deep State tries to hurt President Trump, his poll numbers rise, and he is able to fund-raise even more than before. It is an inexplicable reaction that frustrates Democrats, who fail to understand that most Americans are honest, ethical, and busy individuals, committed to caring for their families, attending church, and being active in the community. Most voters do not understand the complexities of national security laws. Nor do they believe that Trump committed felony violations by participating in a conspiracy to obstruct justice.
Voters may not remember their civics classes, but they know that Trump
has always cared about America’s standing in the world. From the moment he
descended the escalator at Trump Tower in 2015, Trump’s brand is that he wants
America to win. Even in television interviews in the late 1980s and 1990s,
Trump’s single-most consistent grievance against American officials was that
they let foreigners take advantage of America and get ahead at the nation’s
cost. For Trump watchers, the Make America Great Again campaign started more
than 30 years ago. (read more)
The Betrayal of the Environment by Environmentalists & The Great Cloud of Disrepute
The Betrayal of the Environment by Environmentalists
By el gato malo July 26, 2023
Their watermelon religion run by green-grifters and totalitarians is not progress, it’s anti-progress. It seeks to champion only the most expensive, unreliable, and unsound means of energy production to thereby make energy hideously expensive. This will impoverish us all.
In unfortunately typical fashion, the Western climate warriors are all focused on the non-problem and ignoring the real one. Such myopic missing of the forest for the trees seems the oddly universal focus of this whole movement.
They are selling you poison and penury as panacea. The new absurdist push into “We need blackouts and climate lockdowns and 15-minute cities” is an idea as dangerous as it is deluded. It will not save. It will kill.
It’s anti-progress, anti-human, and anti-environment.
It’s also another horrendous foray into anti-science reality denial.
By Jeffrey A. Tucker July 26, 2023
Even in the face of all this evidence, there is only denial. There has been no serious coming to terms with what happened, not at any level in any way. Writers describe symptoms but rarely trace to the causation. The lockdown – completely without precedent in Western policy history – is the great unmentioned. The trauma is so deep, and the range of implicated institutions so broad that it has been deliberately vanished.
The only possible redemption that could follow such a disastrous period in human history would be abject apologies on a mass scale, followed by ironclad promises never to do this again. That should have included dramatic reforms in power, accountability, and personnel. There needed to be a reckoning.
The trouble is that honesty is not there. It’s actually worse than amnesia. The top players who made the pandemic response happen are gradually being taken out of power and being replaced by people who believe the exact same things as their predecessors. And they have every stated intention of doing it all again, under whatever pretext. The great calamity is now the template for the future.The turning point is here. We can either embrace old forms – human rights, freedom, the rule of law, constitutionally restricted governments – or acquiesce to growing despotism under “expert” advisement, no matter how cruel and incompetent.

The Fight Against Worldwide Child Slavery & the Sex Trade | Jim Caviezel and Tim Ballard | & Sound of Freedom: Creating a Movement to Get Loud About Child Trafficking
The Fight Against Worldwide Child Slavery & the Sex Trade | Jim Caviezel and Tim Ballard | EP 372
(1:36:26)
Sound of Freedom: Creating a Movement to Get Loud About Child Trafficking
By Faith McDonnell Published on June 26, 2023
Sound of Freedom is based on the story of Tim Ballard, a former federal agent who founded Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.) to rescue abducted and trafficked children. Passion of the Christ star Jim Caviezel, who was Ballard’s first and only choice, plays Ballard.
The film was produced by Mexican actor/producer Eduardo Verastegui and directed and co-written by Alejandro Monteverde. Like Caviezel, Verastegui and Monteverde are known for their faith-based commitment to human rights and to the unborn. Ballard’s wife, Katherine, is played by Mira Sorvino, another anti-trafficking champion. Other actors in the film are from such places as Colombia and Spain.
What we learned that shocked and horrified us working on the 2000 TVPA is mild compared to what we are learning now. We could never have imagined the scope of the evil: trafficking little children, even for organ harvesting — and for child sacrifice — in a $152 billion dollar a year business.
Opening Our Eyes to the Victims of Trafficking
Eduardo Verastegui went even further in the FlashPoint interview, when he was asked how he got involved in the anti-trafficking movement and decided to make a film. He shared about how he met Ballard and what Ballard had revealed to him about what happens to children as victims of trafficking:
Children — three-year-old boys; five, six, seven-year-old girls — are being raped ten to fifteen times a day for many years. And after the clients don’t want them anymore because they are not ‘fresh,’ they jump into the second business, which is the black-market organs traffic. They open them and sell their parts.

Revenge of the Praetorian Guard, Brownstone Institute
Revenge of the Praetorian Guard
By Brownstone Institute July 9, 2023
Tribe and the Biden Administration may think that they have a divine mission in censoring alleged misinformation, that the Devil’s reincarnation has taken multiple forms in the bodies of Tucker Carlson, RFK Jr., Alex Berenson, and Jay Bhattacharya. Woodrow Wilson had a devout certainty in his persecution of dissidents, as did George Bush in his War on Terror. The self-professed nobility of their missions, however, does not excuse violations of Constitutional rights.
None of us ever wanted to live in a country in which the ruling regime openly expresses opposition to core constitutional rights that many generations of Americans thought were guaranteed by law. The injunction of Missouri v. Biden does nothing other than remind the government of those rights. And this is precisely why the Biden administration so strongly objects.

WESTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA
MONROE DIVISION
STATE OF MISSOURI, ET AL.
VERSUS
JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., ET AL.
MEMORANDUM RULING ON REQUEST FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION
CASE NO. 3:22-CV-01213
JUDGE TERRY A. DOUGHTY
MAG. JUDGE KAYLA D. MCCLUSKY
At issue before the Court is a Motion for Preliminary Injunction [Doc. No. 10] filed by Plaintiffs. The Defendants oppose the Motion [Doc. No. 266]. Plaintiffs have filed a reply to theopposition [Doc. No. 276]. The Court heard oral arguments on this Motion on May 26, 2023 [Doc. No. 288]. Amicus Curiae briefs have been filed in this proceeding on behalf of Alliance Defending Freedom, the Buckeye Institute, and Children’s Health Defense.
CONCLUSION
Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one place to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source 154 of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.
Harry S. Truman
The Plaintiffs are likely to succeed on the merits in establishing that the Government has used its power to silence the opposition. Opposition to COVID-19 vaccines; opposition to COVID-19 masking and lockdowns; opposition to the lab-leak theory of COVID-19; opposition to the validity of the 2020 election; opposition to President Biden’s policies; statements that the Hunter Biden laptop story was true; and opposition to policies of the government officials in power. All were suppressed. It is quite telling that each example or category of suppressed speech was conservative in nature. This targeted suppression of conservative ideas is a perfect example of viewpoint discrimination of political speech. American citizens have the right to engage in free debate about the significant issues affecting the country.
Although this case is still relatively young, and at this stage the Court is only examining it in terms of Plaintiffs’ likelihood of success on the merits, the evidence produced thus far depicts an almost dystopian scenario. During the COVID-19 pandemic, a period perhaps best characterized by widespread doubt and uncertainty, the United States Government seems to have assumed a role similar to an Orwellian “Ministry of Truth.”721
The Plaintiffs have presented substantial evidence in support of their claims that they were the victims of a far-reaching and widespread censorship campaign. This court finds that they are likely to succeed on the merits of their First Amendment free speech claim against the Defendants. Therefore, a preliminary injunction should issue immediately against the Defendants as set out herein. The Plaintiffs Motion for Preliminary Injunction [Doc. No. 10] is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART.
The Plaintiffs’ request to certify this matter as a class action pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. Article 23(b)(2) is DENIED.MONROE, LOUISIANA this 4th day of July 2023
TERRY A. DOUGHTY
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
