From: Constitution Party of Clarion County http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org 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 Darrell Castle continues analyzing the murder of Charlie Kirk especially the aftermath including his memorial service.Transcription / NotesWAS CHARLIE'S MURDER A FORT SUMTER EVENT?Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 26th day of September in the year of our Lord 2025. I will continue talking and analyzing the murder of Charlie Kirk especially the aftermath including his memorial service. Was this event of such magnitude that it could be a Fort Sumter level tectonic separation of opposing forces. I only know that the official explanation of the murder is not truthful because it simply could not happen that way.Since the assassination of President Kennedy this has been an assassination nation with so many that it would be impossible to list them all in this report. Wikipedia has a 12000-word article and even that doesn't include them all. We all remember the three big ones JFK, RFK, and MLK but there are literally dozens more of lesser significa... http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org/News?articleid=297381&view=post&blogid=11057 Fri, 24 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0400 Darrell Castle talks about President Trump’s 20-point proposal to bring peace or at least the absence of war and famine to Gaza.Transcription / NotesWILL THERE BE PEACE IN GAZAHello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 3rd of October in the year of our Lord 2025.  I have decided to talk about what seems to be most important for the United States and the world in this report. The government shutdown will have to wait but it might be a good thing anyway. President Trump's 20-point proposal to bring peace or at least the absence of war and famine to Gaza is my beat for today.The people of Gaza are certainly important and certainly worth talking about because they and their land are central to Mr. Netanyahu's plan for the Middle East. Israel seems to appear in almost every discussion about almost everything today. Keeping all that in mind, I have a question to ask before I begin the discussion of Trump's proposed peace plan.According to artic... http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org/News?articleid=297380&view=post&blogid=11057 Fri, 24 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0400 Darrell Castle talks about the second anniversary of the attacks by Hamas against the nation of Israel and its people on October 7, 2023. What is going on in the Middle East, especially in Gaza today and is all the mass trauma a reaction to October 7th or is there more to it than that?Transcription / NotesTHE SECOND ANNIVERSARY OF THE HAMAS ATTACKSHello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 10th day of October in the year of our Lord 2025. I will be talking about the 2nd anniversary of the attacks by Hamas against the nation of Israel and its people on October 7, 2023. What is going on in the Middle East especially in Gaza today. Is all the mass trauma a reaction to October 7 or is there a lot more to it than that. This was recorded too late for the settlement in Gaza but I don't think that changes my report.The question I have and will explore in this report is this, is the nation of Israel and especially its leader, Bibi Netanyahu, as bad as they ... http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org/News?articleid=297379&view=post&blogid=11057 Fri, 24 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0400 Darrell talks about the peace agreement or ceasefire orchestrated by President Trump to end the slaughter in Gaza and return the hostages to their families.Transcription / NotesDAY OF REJOICINGHello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 17th day of October in the year of our Lord 2025. I will be talking about the peace agreement or ceasefire if you prefer, orchestrated by President Trump to end the slaughter in Gaza and return the hostages to their families.Yes, it was a glorious day anticipated for two years and on the day they arrived 65,000 people gathered in Hostage Square to welcome them home. Many did not survive but for those who did it was indeed an emotional and glorious day. Imagine the joy of seeing your loved one who survived two years of captivity underground in the tunnels of Gaza. For two years you didn't know whether he was alive or dead and what suffering he might be enduring.The peace might not hold and it might be just a temporary ... http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org/News?articleid=297378&view=post&blogid=11057 Fri, 24 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0400 Darrell Castle talks about the military actions taken by president Trump against the nation of Venezuela as well as some other South American and Latin American nations. Is stopping drug trafficking and importation of narcotics into the United States all there is to it?Transcription / NotesA NEW MONROE DOCTRINEHello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 24th day of October in the year of our Lord 2025. I will be talking about the military actions taken by President Trump against the nation of Venezuela as well as some other South and Latin American nations. I argue that there is more involved in these actions than an effort to stop drug trafficking and also assert that countering the import of narcotics into the United States is at best a side benefit of the action against those countries.The original Monroe Doctrine has been the policy of the United States for a little over 200 years, but it has been more or less abandoned in recent years. Is Donald... http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org/News?articleid=297377&view=post&blogid=11057 Fri, 24 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0400 Darrell Castle speaks to the best and worst of times as a good description of our times, today.Transcription / NotesTHE BEST AND WORST OF TIMESHello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 31st day of October in the year of our Lord 2025. Yes, this is Halloween day, a traditional spooky, bad news day, but I have decided to use this spooky day and borrow a bit from the classic novel written by Charles Dickens entitled "A Tale of Two Cities".  Mr. Dickens opened his novel with "It Was the Best of Times; It Was the Worst of Times" and that is a pretty good description of our times, today.Dickens wrote those words in 1859 as the title and opening of his novel which was set in London and Paris during the French Revolution. "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity." That sounds so much like today because the more things chang... http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org/News?articleid=297376&view=post&blogid=11057 Fri, 24 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0400 Darrell Castle talks about the 250th Birthday of the U.S. Marine Corps, the NYC mayoral election held last Tuesday, and how a self-described socialist won the election.Transcription / NotesTHE MARINE CORPS LIVES FOREVERHello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 7th day of November in the year of our Lord 2025. Next Monday the 10th of November is the 250th anniversary of the birth of the United States Marine Corps, an organization that I served with for four years more than 50 years ago. The title comes from a belief drummed into our heads back then, Marines live and they die but the Marine Corps lives forever.I am not going to spend this entire report taking you down memory lane because there are just too many bad things to talk about. This Report that I do each week is in a way a journey through the sewers of the world. People often ask me why don't you ever talk about any good news and my answer is, because I just don't see any. Often, good news i... http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org/News?articleid=297375&view=post&blogid=11057 Fri, 24 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0400 Darrell Castle talks about an interview of a British veteran that was conducted on Good Morning Great Britain on Veteran’s Day earlier this week and the “viral” result of his comments.Transcription / NotesALEC PENSTONE WAS RIGHTHello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 14th day of November in the year of our Lord 2025. Last Tuesday the 11th was Veterans Day here in America or what they still call Armistice Day in Great Britain. I will be talking about that by using an interview of a British veteran named Alec Penstone that was given on British television and the "viral" result of his comments.Mr. Penstone was selected as the veteran to be interviewed and to represent all British veterans on the British television show Good Morning Britain. His interview was live and obviously intended to convey to the British public that the TV show, its hosts, and the network in general are just as patriotic and honoring of veterans as the genera... http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org/News?articleid=297374&view=post&blogid=11057 Fri, 24 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0400 Darrell Castle talks about the economy in general as well as the United States economy specifically, and why American families are struggling financially.Transcription / NotesIT'S THE ECONOMYHello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 21st day of November in the year of our Lord 2025. I will be talking about the economy in general as well as the United States economy specifically. You probably remember when Democrat policy advisor James Carville told then candidate Bill Clinton, "it's the economy stupid." He was correct and the advice is still correct today. Remember that next week is Thanksgiving so there will be no Castle Report. I will join you again on Friday December 5.Carville was a very effective political operative in those days and was apparently able to convince Mr. Clinton that the people who would elect him or his opponent cared more about their standard of living than they did about any foreign policy issue. They should have cared m... http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org/News?articleid=297373&view=post&blogid=11057 Fri, 24 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0400 Darrell Castle discusses President Trump’s 28 point proposed peace plan along with a few words about the other war, the one in the Middle East.Transcription / Notes:PEACE IN UKRAINEHello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 5th day of December in the year of our Lord 2025. Although the title of this Castle Report is peace, my beat is war today and as usual there is no shortage of war to talk about. Specifically, I will be discussing President Trump's 28 point proposed peace plan along with a few words about the other war, the one in the Middle East.Yes, President Trump is proposing peace in Ukraine. Perhaps he wants to turn his attention to other wars and potential wars or maybe he feels bad about campaigning that he could end the Ukraine war in 24 hours with just a few phone calls. I will be telling you what I propose the U.S. do in Ukraine and the Middle East but before we get to that listen to this important information.I am currently in th... http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org/News?articleid=297372&view=post&blogid=11057 Fri, 24 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0400 Darrell Castle ushers in 2026 by talking about the world as he sees it today along with some year-end thoughts about the past, the present, and the unknown future.Transcription/NotesBLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERSHello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is the 2nd day of January in the year of our Lord 2026. In this Castle Report I will be talking about the world as I see it today along with some year-end thoughts about the past, the present, and the unknown future."Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God." Those are the words of the Prince of Peace whose birth we just celebrated, and his words have been the bed rock of Western Civilization for over 2000 years. The decorations, gifts, and celebrations are just one of our connections to a Christian culture that has held Western Civilization together throughout its history. My thanks once again for Dr, Ron Paul's recent Liberty Report where he so eloquently sets these concepts out.So... http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org/News?articleid=297371&view=post&blogid=11057 Fri, 24 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0400 Darrell Castle discusses the raid in Venezuela, the capture or arrest of Nichalas Maduro and his wife and whether it was beneficial to anyone.TRUMP'S VERSION OF THE MONROE DOCTRINEHello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 9th day of January in the year of our Lord 2026. I will be discussing the raid in Venezuela and the capture or arrest as the DOJ calls it of Nichalas Maduro and his wife and their criminal prosecution by US Federal authorities in the federal district court of New York. Did it benefit anyone, was it right or wrong, was it legal or illegal.Yes, folks 2026 has barely started and it has already been quite a year. Was the capture of Maduro an indication by the administration that one year of his term is complete and now the gloves come off. I certainly think that was one of the many intentions of the raid, but not the most significant by any means. What then was the real intent or reason for the raid. The truthful answer to that questi... http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org/News?articleid=297370&view=post&blogid=11057 Fri, 24 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0400 Darrell Castle talks about Iran today and exploring the possibilities for changing the regime there from one run by Islamic fundamentalists to one run by the ex-Shah’s son, Reza Pahlavi.Transcription / NotesREGIME CHANGE IN IRANHello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 16th day of January in the year of our Lord 2026. I will be talking about Iran today and exploring the possibilities for changing the regime there from one run by Islamic fundamentalists to one run by the ex-Shah's son Reza Pahlavi. What does the US want in Iran and what is it willing to do to have it.Yes, it seems that revolution is in the air once again in Iran but this time it seems to be different. Every few years people grow weary of the Ayatollah's strict laws, its moral police, etc. and they take to the streets to protest. This time it seems to be different for several reasons. The protests are much more massive and widespread this time and the people are showing great c... http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org/News?articleid=297369&view=post&blogid=11057 Fri, 24 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0400 Darrell Castle talks about President Trump’s speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos Switzerland presented earlier this week and the important issues surrounding the speech including Greenland, Iran, Gaza, Ukraine, and of course Minneapolis.Transcription / NotesTRUMP SPEAKS TO THE WEFHello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 23rd day of January in the year of our Lord 2026. I will be talking about President Trump's speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos Switzerland which was given on Wednesday of this week. I will also talk about some of the important issues surrounding that speech including Greenland, Iran, Gaza, Ukraine, and of course Minneapolis.Yes, President Trump traveled to Davos this week accompanied by a large U.S. delegation including Secretary of State Marco Rubio. California Governor Gavin Newscom was in attendance although not part of the US delegation.

I will be talking about recent events in the history of America from assassinations to simple murders and how we never seem to get the complete and truthful picture of what happened.If we go back in history only so far as World War ll we find that psychological warfare was an important weapon for all combatants. It was important but also primitive compared to the worldwide grip it holds on us today. Sometimes it was millions of leaflets dropped from airplanes across Europe and sometimes it was Tokyo Rose broadcasting from Japan to American sailors opposing the Japanese navy. There were no video cameras, no satellites, no social media, and no internet whereby everyone was monitored and ordina... http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org/News?articleid=297382&view=post&blogid=11057 Fri, 24 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0400 Darrell Castle talks about the war against Iran and the efforts to keep the Strait of Hormuz open for the commerce of the world along with the unexpected results being felt around the world.Transcription / NotesSOME UNEXPECTED RESULTS OF WARHello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 24th day of April in the year of our Lord 2026. I will be talking again about the war against Iran and the efforts to keep the Strait of Hormuz open for the commerce of the world along with the unexpected results being felt around the world as a result of this war.Let me start with a brief refresher regarding the history of the U.S. war with Iran before I get into unexpected results. The U.S. government back in 1953 started this long conflict by its overthrow of Mosaddegh who was popularly elect and his replacement with the Shah who was always seen as a U.S. puppet. If what I just said is true and I obviously believe that it is, then the U.S. has been in this conflict fo... http://www.ConstitutionPartyofClarionCounty.org/News?articleid=297409&view=post&blogid=11057 Fri, 24 Apr 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=296366&view=post&blogid=11057 Fri, 10 Apr 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=295908&view=post&blogid=11057 Fri, 3 Apr 2026 00:00:00 -0400 Darrell Castle talks about war and the President’s statement that it is basically over and we won.

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=295505&view=post&blogid=11057 Fri, 27 Mar 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=295138&view=post&blogid=11057 Fri, 20 Mar 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.

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=294739&view=post&blogid=11057 Fri, 13 Mar 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=294354&view=post&blogid=11057 Fri, 6 Mar 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.

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=293873&view=post&blogid=11057 Fri, 27 Feb 2026 00:00:00 -0400 Darrell Castle talks about the continuing saga of Jeffrey Epstein and what that saga means for the relationship between the global ruing elite and the people.Transcription / NotesEPSTEIN AND THE DESTRUCTION OF TRUSTHello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report.

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=293436&view=post&blogid=11057 Fri, 20 Feb 2026 00:00:00 -0400
