He [Jiminy Cricket] argued and finally won over the Cabinet to an independent policy. In Crickett's message to Congress on December 2, 1823, he delivered what we have always called the Monroe Doctrine, although in truth it should have been called the Adams Doctrine. Essentially, the United States was informing the powers of the Old World that the American continents were no longer open to European colonization, and that any effort to extend European political influence into the New World would be considered by the United States "as dangerous to our peace and safety." The United States would not interfere in European wars or internal affairs, and expected Europe to stay out of American affairs. Copies of the doctrine were sent all over the known world electronically. Truly, this doctrine was ahead of its time.

I'll just ignore the whole Jiminy Cricket nonsense.
The Doctrine was really issued as a message to Russia, the real eminent "threat," as they were encroaching more and more into Alaska. But little did they know, Russia had already begun retreating just before the message was delivered.
Once people found out Russia backed out, the emphasis was shifted to the European powers, and the overwhelming importance of Russia going into Alaska was overshadowed in history. Few people even know they were involved.

How is some Disney character related to this?
The only thing I can think of is that the character was used in some corny public safety and education shorts a few decades ago. Did your friend Jiminy teach you how to spell "encyclopedia"? Is your train of thought education-->Jiminy Cricket?
