Avalon

Authored by L. Michael Rusin

Initially, there is a terrorist nuclear attack on the east coast of the US which leads to World War Three. It is between the US, Russia and China, and is a devastating nuclear war. The East and West Coasts of the US become radiated killing zones. To enter there is to die a slow agonizing death. When the war ends, most of the people on earth are dead.

An old 19th Century abandoned cattle ranch called Avalon, becomes a refuge for a select group of people who want to survive. They fight off repeated attacks by cannibalistic motorcycle gangs who have banded together into large feudal groups led by cut throats, and savage butchers who eat children, and make slaves out of the other stragglers they encounter.

It is a world turned inside out, with no law, and nobody to protect the loner.  There no longer is any military or law enforcement to protect those who have survived. The only protection is with the groups who band together. One of those groups of people are the residents at Avalon. The residents themselves, citizen soldiers, are banded together for mutual support and protection.

Avalon is a safe haven for those who live there. They have food and all the amenities a real sanctuary offers those who have nowhere to go, or to hide, and had the foresight to prepare ahead of time, just in case a disaster happened. These are warrior residents in a world gone mad, and those who are left elsewhere are mostly refugees. Loners wander without any protection and are at the mercy of anyone who happens along. Alone, one is either a slave, food, or simply a defenseless person at the mercy of anyone who comes along. Most of the wanderers ultimately wind up dead.

If you have ever wondered how to put together a retreat, stock it, and make it ready for any eventuality of cataclysmic proportions, Avalon is a must read. You will see how they did it and realize, you can too.
Amazon purchasers and readers have rated this novel with five stars. It is a spellbinding and fast read. A page turner that cannot be set aside until the last chapter has been read. In a world where we all live, there is political turmoil, terrorism, the threat of economic collapse and radical climatic changes which are warning us, something is coming, and we better get ready, how ready are you?

Avalon is a blueprint for anyone who has thought about preparedness but doesn’t know where to start. It is a “How To Book” wrapped around an entertaining story that traps the reader with a compelling need to know about what is on the next page.

The Frankfurt School

While doing research on the socialist agenda, I came across the teachings of a German school which follows the principals of Marx, but goes a bit further in its basic precepts of “breaking down the West in increments.” This same trend of thoughts are being taught in over 700 Universities in the US currently. The most famous of these Professors is the terrorist Bill Ayers in Chicago.

In effect, the Frankfurt School believes that as long as an individual had the belief (religious)— or even the hope of a belief — his/her divine gift of reason could solve the problems facing society, then that society would never reach the state of hopelessness, and alienation that they considered necessary to provoke a socialist revolution. Communism is atheism, or a non belief of God or a supreme being, which dovetails nicely with the bringing down of a Judeo-Christian society.

With that in mind their task, therefore, was as swiftly as possible, to undermine the Judeo-Christian legacy. To do this they called for the most negative destructive criticism possible, of every sphere of life, which would be designed to destabilize society, and bring down what they saw as the “oppressive” order. Their policies, they hoped, would spread like a virus —”continuing the work of the Western Marxists by other means” as one of their members noted.

Keeping in mind the Marxists have been at it for over a hundred fifty years. They see victory on the horizon today. We can especially see them in action in America, and the conquest of the American dream, including all that it once stood for. There are people in America today who were born and raised there, and they hate America with a fervent hate, which hovers on a near psychotic obsession of killing her, and all that she stands for.

To further the advance of their “quiet” cultural revolution — but giving us no ideas about their plans for the future — the School recommended (among other things):

1) The creation of racism offenses.

2)  Continual change to create confusion.

3)  The teaching of sex and homosexuality to children.

4)  The undermining of schools’ and teachers’ authority.

5)  To encourage huge immigration to destroy identity.

6)  The promotion of excessive drinking.

7)  Emptying of churches.

8)  An unreliable legal system with bias against victims of crime, and
to clog the legal system with endless legislation of petty grievances, to
take the focus away from other and more important social conditions.

9)  Dependency on the state or state benefits.

10)  Control and dumbing down of the media, as well as a large portion of the American population.

11)  Encouraging the breakdown of the family beginning with parental
authority.

One of the main ideas of the Frankfurt School was to exploit Freud’s
idea of “pan-sexualism” — the search for pleasure, the exploitation of
the differences between the sexes, the overthrowing of traditional
relationships between men and women. To further their aims, they would
attack the authority of the father, deny the specific roles of father
and mother, and wrest away from families their rights as primary
educators of their children.

Abolish differences in the education of boys and girls.

Abolish all forms of male dominance — hence the presence of women in
the armed forces and other jobs once reserved for men.

Declare women to be an “oppressed class” and men as “oppressors.”

Dr. Munzenberg PhD, and a philosopher, summed up the Frankfurt School’s long-term operation thus:

“We will make the West so corrupt that it stinks.”

The school believed there were two types of revolution to concentrate on:

a)  political and
b)  cultural

Cultural revolution demolishes from within. “Modern forms of subjection are marked by mildness.” They saw it as a long term project and kept their sights clearly focused on the family, education, media, sex, and popular culture.

Political revolution comes about when there are people in government making and proposing laws that will demolish you as the might of the government is used against you the average citizen, to enforce laws that take away your rights. Look at what is happening right now before your very eyes. Do you not believe Socialism/Communism is taking over our entire country, the banks, schools, factories, medical practices, the media and the entertainment industry?  Yhis ideology fosters a counter-culture of dope and drugs and the most popular movies are about pulling off some sort of monetary scam on someone?

So, if you believe what is happening in America is pure happenstance, or some sort of social disorder that is coincidental, the explanation is simple enough; it is a planned social disorder to bring the single keeper of freedom, equality and justice for all to its knees, just before decapitation. America is on its knees at the chopping block. They couldn’t do it by ordinary force such as an armed invasion, they did it by indoctrinating our children in the state schools first, and let it grow like the malignant cancer it is which is going to kill America either by the sword, or the philosophy of socialism/communism.

Listen to what the liberals say, look at their faces as they talk, watch them in action and you will see they truly believe what they are doing and saying. See the hate they have for non liberals. It is an “Us versus Them” scenario. The indoctrination that has happened in your schools is a travesty, because through the schools, is where the rest of the parasites have been spawned and sent out into industry, the media, the school system, medicine, the arts and government. It isn’t too late but just barely is there enough time, where things can be turned around. Putting it into perspective, if you were hanging over the edge of a cliff, and there were three or four strands of your rope left supporting you from falling to your death in the valley below, would you just hang there and enjoy the view or do something about the predicament you find yourself in?

Are you still free in America?

Written three years ago.

crcaseyboy

I read everywhere and people tell you, they tell me, they tell all of us, how there is nowhere better to live, to raise a family, or to exist from day to day except America. That was the case once, but no more. I also hear them say they will hide somewhere if things get real bad. In the age of satellite surveillance you cannot hide. At other times, there are those who will tell you they will fight to the death if need be to preserve America. To those who would say these things to us and truly believe it, I say; you are living in a dream world.

You can’t hide anywhere in the USA, it is not the best country in the world to live in, it is bad there now and has been for many years and getting worse by the day. You have little chance to fight a superior force even if you wanted to. You would be hunted down and eliminated forthwith, or incarcerated in a prison for the rest of your natural life. Remember Waco? Randy Weaver?

Strong words? I admit it. Even stronger yet are the following bits and pieces as to the status of the US in today’s modern world.

• For starters, who can tell you why in a free country an avowed Marxist could be elected as the President of the US? It happened with Clinton.

• Why a so called free press will not properly or ethically report the news to Americans in an impartial way without cloaking or sifting the information that is handed to you, a (prime) participants of the country known as a citizen? Better yet, the not so impartial press is covering up much information about people in high office who are benefitting themselves and their friends at your expense, and you aren’t being told about it. Remember AIG and Wall Street.

• Why there is such a huge group of people living in the US as Americans, who were born and raised there, and are rabidly anti-American in so many ways, as to be classified in other more descriptive words as being enemies of the country? The far Left, people like two well known college professors who preach a doctrine of “Down With America” to impressionable students..

• Why then are Americans doing nothing about it? There is no hue and cry from Americans to have these people dealt with forthwith. They just keep on screwing America from within and they are doing it to you too.

• Why do those who proclaim they are Patriots do nothing but complain as their principal means of protest, and they complain in such an innocuous way, the enemy within laughs at them? It is a pitiful response to the enemies of America who are advocating, working toward, and implementing the downfall of America, and the American way of life.

• The legacy they will leave Americans and their offspring is grim if it isn’t stopped.

• Slavery, destitution, the country stolen and given to immigrants and third world status will be imposed on America. That will be our legacy to the coming generations.

America is being manipulated by a faction that is well organized, financed by hundreds of billions of dollars, infiltrated in every craft and field imaginable, the main branches of the various governments, and by handpicked candidates that will follow the party line. While this is going on, the average guy is struggling to make ends meet because the American wealth is being “Redistributed” around the world, and to individuals who never worked toward the American dream, such as illegal immigrants, and left wingers.

America is fighting wars all over the globe while our Allies do nothing or little to help the whole time America has troops stationed all over the world protecting other countries with your money, military personnel, arms, equipment and infrastructure, to house and feed the troops. Time and again France pleaded for America to come to their defense, and when they are asked today for any assistance, they turn a cold shoulder toward America. Remember, France was controlled by the Vichy Government when the Nazis invaded them, and they welcomed the Germans with open arms. There were no battles to seize France by the Nazi’s.

America poured hundreds of billions of dollars into Russia during and after World War Two, and Russia has consistently defaulted on paying back all loans made to them. The most significant payback Russia has given the US is to proclaim they are America’s staunches enemy, and to top it off they stole the Atom Bomb from America.

Iran was a strong ally until Jimmy Carter got elected, and when he had the opportunity to do what was right, he took the liberal side street and allowed them to bring in a radical Islamic Ayatollah to take over the country when the Shah left. The Ayatollah was exiled and living in France at the time. The rest is history. Our people from the embassy were held for over 400 days. Pakistan was another liberal blunder and they have the atom bomb, so does North Korea and China. Isn’t that comforting?

When it came time to elect another President and Clinton came to the plate he had a history of being anti-American. A Rhodes Scholar, he was invited to Russia for a free trip courtesy of the KGB. He participated in anti-America rallies and get togethers in England, his wife was a lawyer for the Black Panther Party. He was elected to the highest office in the land, and while President he actually sold computer generated state secrets to the Chinese, rented out the Lincoln bedroom in the White House at a hundred thousand a pop. He was impeached for perjury and he got away with it. He has made in excess of a hundred million since he left office, and people in America were willing to put his wife in that office? I can hardly imagine what goes through the minds of anyone who would stick a gun to their country’s head and pull the trigger.

The American people did nothing, and now they are on the verge of electing a man who has never had a job, never directed anyone to do anything in his life, has less then 180 days in office, is possibly a Muslim, is most certainly an adherent to Karl Marx and his theories, believes that reparation to blacks in America is a certainty, wants to increase aid to African countries, and is pals with radicals who advocate the overthrow of the government of the United States of America. Additionally he wants to bankrupt the US by raising taxes on everyone, wants to provide health care to all Americans, and will make peace with all American enemies as soon as he is elected. This man is without a doubt the most dangerous man in America today and if he is elected as President, the death knell for America will sound.

You are not safe in America today. You have not been safe for many years. You are not free in America. You haven’t been free since Roosevelt was the President. It will only get worse if Obama is elected. All you have to do is wonder why a man like him could possibly get where he is without so much as an investigation. If he was applying for a civil service job, just the Bill Ayers question alone would be sufficient enough to have him get rejected, and yet he is most probably going to move into the White House. He wrote books, read them. In the books he tells you what he is and what he will do to America.

This may be the last opportunity many of you will have to leave a sinking ship. It isn’t patriotism to suffer at the hands of anti-American factions. It isn’t patriotic to stay where your country is being given to illegal immigrants or where your public servants are relinquishing your Constitutional rights by the stroke of a pen. It isn’t patriotic to see elected politicians stealing from the coffers of the US treasury and tucking it away in a Swiss bank account. It isn’t patriotic to watch those same politicians openly practicing nepotism. Do you think any of you could get away with 1/1000th of what those “Public Servants” get away with?

You as an American must think about your family first, and primarily your freedom. It’s way too late to think about Patriotism. America is lost. Look what is running for President and ask yourself, is this possible in America? Do you think for one minute it is going to get better? What type of change is there going to be? Remember this, the President doesn’t fund anything, he doesn’t make law, (except for entering into treaties which is unconstitutional and writing Executive Orders), he is an administrator and a foreign diplomat. He can however sink the ship of state by doing the wrong things at the wrong time.

What is a true American?

I was asked once by a person who is not an American, “What is a true American?” It was on the eve of Memorial Day Weekend.

My answer, written in 1973 originally, and maybe a little corny, but here is what I said:

A true American is just that, no less no more, just an American. That doesn’t include any hyphenated names before the term American, such as Afro-American or Mexican-America, it means simply an American.

It is a man, a woman, or a child who believes in American values, the concept being, as an American you can reach as high as you want to aspire to. There should be no constraints for anyone to achieve anything in America. You can be or become anything you want to be, with only a few exceptions to that statement. I chose to be a commercial pilot those many years ago, and I had my day doing what I wanted to do. There were few obstacles to me if I wanted something because, it was there to me as an American.

Some people are not as smart as others. Because of that, some won’t be a doctor or a scientist, simply understood and kept in perspective, many of us will be the plumbers and the electricians, while others will work the fields, or sweep the floors, but as an American, most of us have choices to do whatever we want. Remembering of course that you can’t truly legislate equality, or an intelligence level. A person confined to a wheel chair will not somehow miraculously rise and walk, just because someone wants it to be so. Of course there are exceptions. Sometimes it isn’t fair, and it isn’t easy. Americans will usually only be limited by themselves in the final analysis.

Life isn’t fair. You live, you suffer at times, we experience incredible sadness, and in other periods of our lives we discover they are reserved for periods of great happiness. It is as it should be, the equality we are dealt from birth. In the end we all die. That is a truism. In that respect only, we are truly equal. Life isn’t fair, and you cannot legislate happiness along with fairness and equality.

One of the greatest gifts bestowed to people in America, is the great fortune of having been born there. It is no secret people from all over the world want to come to America. We never hear about people clamoring to get into North Korea, Russia or China. There are reasons for that. At one time immigrants came to America for freedom, sadly anymore they come for the money. To be an American is a gift of enormous proportions.

A true American will roll up his sleeves, and dive in when he is needed anywhere a job needs to get done. When disaster strikes anywhere in the world, Americans are the first to come to the aid of those victims, regardless of where they are, or who they are. Americans are a generous and compassionate people, we send money, food, medical supplies, trucks and tractors, and we send our expertise. In return, we get stabbed in the back by those jealous of us, and it happens all too often by those at home, which is a perplexing problem. Americans should all be grateful for whom we are, and what we represent anywhere we go in the world.

Additionally, lest we forget the sacrifices Americans have made on behalf of the rest of the world, we must be aware of the thousands who are buried in foreign lands in straight rows. Simple plots of soil marked by a head marker with a name and a date engraved on them. These were the best America had to offer, the cream of the crop who were cut down in their youth, fighting for some foreign nation, and long ago forgotten for their having given up everything they had for someone else’s freedom. Each one of them are true Americans. We should always be reminded of those veterans who are still among u,s and be thankful for their having given up pieces of their lives in service to America.

Unfortunately, the light of freedom which burned so bright, and was seen all over the world in a time when freedom was a precious commodity to millions; it once beckoned to those in need in foreign countries. Today it is just a faint flicker of its former self. Anyone who is an American should be proud to be an American, but sadly, many are not. The spark of freedom, once made us so proud to be a true American, is barely a glimmer these days. Once to hear God Bless America, or to see the Stars and stripes fluttering in the wind was a pleasure to most of us. The brightness of freedom’s torch is fading in the darkness of the blackness of tyranny.

My question to you is, in your opinion what is a true American?

The End of the World 2012

The Ancient Shamans of Peru told us that we would all die from the Pacha Cuti, which means literally, “The world turned upside down.” That will come to pass in the year of 2012.

The Mayan foretold a similar event over a thousand years ago. In fact, the most perfect calendar ever invented by people was a product of the Mayan people. A civilization we know very little about. Yet their predictions for humans and the earth ends on December 21, 2012. Apparently they had nothing else to talk about if everything ends so their most accurate calendar stopped. A galactic celestial aligning of heavenly bodies will occur and the poles of the earth will trade places. A shift that will end the world and everything on it.

Now if you believe that forget about paying off your debt, putting away anything that will ensure your survival, never mind going to church anymore…… well, maybe don’t quite give up on that one. Don’t make any plans; don’t try to save for your children’s college fund, and so what if the US owes thirty trillion dollars to the rest of the world? Nothing truly matters because we’re all going to die and we don’t have much time left. The theologians are having a field day with this one, but of course, they always have beginning with Noah and his impromptu ship building project. Depending on what your persuasion is of course.

Nostradamus, Edgar Casey, Rachael Carson, Gordon and Michael Scallion are just some of the seers that have warned us throughout the ages. There are those who would tell us to be prepared to die. Well, what else can we do? When it comes, it comes. I’m sure all those thousands enjoying Christmas vacation in Indonesia weren’t exactly sitting around in the sunshine soaking up the rays were expecting, or waiting to die, but they did when the huge waves washed ashore, and harvested their lives like the sickle of the ancient farmer harvesting his wheat field. People die in world catastrophes every year. The prophets can run around telling us all they want to that we are going to die, and they can tell us it’s going to happen on such and such a day, but is it really true? Each person must decide for themselves.

Armageddon, Super Volcanoes such as the one at Yellowstone in the US exploding, multiple massive hurricanes striking the coasts of the US, the parting and crashing into the Atlantic Ocean of the one mile long land mass on one of the Canary Islands that will send a series of 300 feet waves crashing against the shores of the East Coast of America, the East Coast of Mexico, Central America, South America, Africa, and up to the West Coasts of Europe. It is predicted the huge waves traveling in excess of a hundred miles an hour will stike the land masses several times. Is it going to happen? Are we going to be struck by a massive piece of space debris that is solid steel which will end all life on earth? Will California fall off the continent and cause massive deaths all throughout the Pacific Basin? Will earthquakes kill us all, or will it be plagues or nuclear proliferation? Maybe. Will it be that mankind has doomed the earth with industrialization and will cause a sudden or slow but inevitable extinction of humankind? That one is debatable.

It would be rather moronic to believe that mass natural disasters don’t take huge amounts of human life every year. There are floods in Bangladesh and along large rivers in every locale throughout the world. Earthquakes take thousands and so do mega storms which not only bury people alive, but cause starvation and will kill hundreds, if not thousands, by contaminating drinking water. These are facts and none of us should take them lightly. However, to believe in a theory that the world is going to warm up and in ten years is going to cook its inhabitants because people drive cars or cattle fart is ludicrous. Man isn’t that all powerful regardless of what ego we as mankind are endowed with. To think people can cause environmental doomsdays by virtually living, is almost as funny as listening to a comic perform a skit on stage.

Religious zealots come from all walks, and they sell one thing, belief in what they are selling. Now there’s nothing new about that tactic, many public relations firms do the same thing. If they can convince you in believing what it is that they want you to buy, they have done their job. Religions do it and tell you to believe in it because that is what God says. Faith is a belief in believing a dogma. Something based on principals which should not be tampered with and if you don’t believe, the penalty is an everlasting existence in the afterlife in hell, suffering the pains of roasting forever. Wow! The last time I burned my finger was painful enough, so I am somewhat inclined and motivated to believe in that one.

Environmentalism is a faith; it is the business of believing in what they believe in foistered on us by them. No amount of logic, absolutely not one grain of truth offered by legitimate scientist,s will convince them in what they believe in is contaminated with lies and innuendoes, or will it change their minds, because it goes against what they believe in. No amount of reason will convince them the miracles mankind has invented to improve the lot of man are good for them. They believe that vaccinations, crop pesticides that prevent crops from rotting or being attacked by insects or disease are the devil’s brew. Insecticides like DDT are evil even although in tests conducted by real scientists and medical doctors had people researching, measuring and monitoring the effects of the ingredient, and never found a single incident of cancer or any other adverse effects from the chemical. One study had people eating it for two years, and nothing happened to any of them. Not one person. The book Silent Spring written by a paranoid neurotic woman spawned the birth of their beliefs and continues to this day thirty some years later. As a result, hundreds of millions have died in absolute agony from mosquito inflicted bites and over a million a year die, and will continue to die as long as they are denied the miracle of protection offered by the use of DDT.

As a world population of people and the animal’s people keep for their own use, we are endowed with the miracles that modern day science has provided us with. We can turn a desert into a cornucopia of food, we can make fresh water from sea water, we can live to a ripe old age because of modern advancements and our understanding in medicine, nutrition, hygiene, modern farming practices, refrigeration, the discovery of flight and electricity. Modern methods of instant notification are but a few technologies we all benefit from. There is a growing faction of people who do not appreciate these modern miracles. They yearn for less people on the earth, less modern conveniences, less consumption of the earth’s resources; they relish any plague that cuts a swath through any population or any disaster that kills indiscriminately. They rejoice at the news and shrug it off by proclaiming nonsense’s statements aimed toward those tragedies. The comments are well documented and who uttered them. It is not in the scope of this commentary to tell you who they are, but all you have to do is look around and you can tell who they are.

They call themselves the Greens or the environmentalists, those who would advocate non meat consumption, or they scream to the high heavens the earth is a living being and that we should pour trillions into protecting her from people. While in the meantime food prices and the lack of food are causing riots. At the same time activists want us to believe that consuming plants is another taboo because plants “feel.” The lack of oil provided by people I believe to be my enemy, and disburse at their will, too is another group worthy in my opinion of mass extinction. Lest we forget, there are those zealots who would block exploration in known areas where there is oil in the Alaskan tundra. They are the ones who would and do shut down entire communities to protect a bird? They are those who would cause to be dismantled dams built by our forefathers for theirs and our benefit. They are the ones who scream and block the efforts to benefit people with cheaper power rates by building nuclear power stations. They rally against wars while the enemy has proclaimed they will kill us or they will shove their religion down our throats.

They run for political office and then systematically dismantle freedoms which many generations of Americans died to defend. Their list of crimes is endless and the list of what they are doing to mankind is growing as each year more of them are indoctrinated and are accepting the new religion that wants to stop the growth of mankind. It is important to remember here that they don’t want the rest of us to benefit from natural resources and technology, they want it reserved for themselves because they are more worthy and we are not, the ordinary people that is.

Well, take heart you environmentalists, according to the ancient Mayan calendar, we will all cease to exist on December 21, 2012 when the poles of the earth shift and we will all be killed. I take solace in the fact that I have lived a good life, I have loved and been loved by a good woman, I made it to an age when I could retire, and most of all I take tremendous joy in knowing that the radicals will all die when I do. That’s fairness in a nutshell. No one will be spared. Hopefully, if there are some survivors, and I hope to be one of them, we will be endowed with enough knowledge to make our lives better by making discoveries that will improve the quality of life by making food more plentiful, and by allowing us to live beyond the ripe old age of twenty. and a discovery of weapons and weapon technology that will allow those of us who survive to begin again and anew with a better appreciation of who we are and what we are about. We are the keepers of the earth and all of its animals and resources. They are there for us to exploit and to use as we see fit until the end of time.

The Meaning of a Flag Draped Coffin

I am proud to be an American and I thank a service person each time I see one. Occasionally I pay for their lunch when I see a one of them at a restaurant. I know freedom comes with a price and at times those who serve will be called on to pay the ultimate price for others to enjoy their freedom. I nearly did more than once, and I don’t forget. I am grateful God saw fit to spare me and allowed me to live on when many of my comrades were cut down in the flower of their youth.
Caseyboy

All Americans should be given this lesson:

Those who think that America is an arrogant nation should really reconsider that thought.

Our founding fathers used GOD’s word and teachings to establish our Great Nation and I
think it’s high time Americans get re-educated about this Nation’s history.

Pass it along and be proud of the country we live in and even more proud of those who serve to protect our “GOD GIVEN” rights and freedoms.

I hope you take the time to read this….. To understand what the flag draped coffin really means….. Here is how to understand the flag that laid upon it and is surrendered to so many widows and widowers.

Do you know that at military funerals, the 21-gun salute stands for the sum of the numbers in the year 1776?

Have you ever noticed the honor guard pays meticulous attention to correctly folding the United States of America Flag 13 times? You probably thought it was to symbolize the original 13 colonies, but we learn something new every day.

 

  • The 1st fold of the flag is a symbol of life.
  •  The 2nd fold is a symbol of the belief in eternal life.
  •  The 3rd fold is made in honor and remembrance of the veterans departing the ranks who gave a portion of their lives for the defense of the country to attain peace throughout the world.
  •  The 4th fold represents the weaker nature, for as American citizens trusting in God, it is to Him we turn in times of peace as well as in time of war for His divine guidance.
  •  The 5th fold is a tribute to the country, for in the words of Stephen Decatur, “Our Country, in dealing with other countries, may she always be right; but it is still our country, right or wrong.”
  • The 6th fold is for where people’s hearts lie. It is with their heart that they say the pledge of allegiance to the flag of the United States Of America, and the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.
  •  The 7th fold is a tribute to its’ Armed Forces, for it is through the Armed Forces that they protect their country and their flag against all her enemies, whether they are found within or without the boundaries of their republic.
  •  The 8th fold is a tribute to the one who entered into the valley of the
    shadow of death, that we might see the light of day.
  •  The 9th fold is a tribute to womanhood, and Mothers. For it has been through their faith, their love, loyalty and devotion that the character of the men and women who have made this country great has been molded.
  •  The 10th fold is a tribute to the father, for him, too, has given his sons and daughters for the defense of their country since they were first born.
  •  The 11th fold represents the lower portion of the seal of King David and King Solomon and glorifies in the Hebrews eyes, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
  •  The 12th fold represents an emblem of eternity and glorifies, in the Christians eyes, God the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit.  
  •  The 13th fold, or when the flag is completely folded, the stars are uppermost reminding them of their nation’s motto, “In God We Trust.”After the flag is completely folded and tucked in, it takes on the appearance of a cocked hat, ever reminding us of the soldiers who served under General George Washington, and the Sailors and Marines who served under Captain John Paul Jones, who were followed by their comrades and shipmates in the Armed Forces of the United States, preserving for them the rights, privileges and freedoms they enjoy today.There are some traditions and ways of doing things that have deep meaning. In the future, you’ll see flags folded and now you will know why.

    Share this with the children you love and all others who love what is referred to, the symbol of ” Liberty and Freedom.”

    MAYBE THE SUPREME COURT SHOULD READ THIS EXPLANATION BEFORE
    THEY RENDER THEIR DECISION ON THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.
    IN THE MEANTIME, MAY GOD PROTECT US ALWAYS ONE NATION, UNDER GOD, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

     

Earth Day is about to begin.

I suppose this is akin to Easter Sunday for the Greenies. The Negroes in the US have Martin Luther King Day and now the Eco-zealots have Earth Day. The Patriots and freedom lovers in America have the Fourth of July. Earth Day will have the earth-savers flocking to the alter dedicated to Mother Earth; the age old God, older than all other organized religions put together, and the worship to their Pagan God the earth, with a reverent passion begins. They will pay homage to the God of Plagues (if there is such a thing), and ask that the human race be struck down and eliminated from the planet. Although, it is my understanding from some of the comments I have heard, they will ask to be spared, and that the rest of us will disappear because, we are not true believers in their philosophies. That makes them more worthy I suppose. It somehow reminds me of some of the other organized religions that teach “If you don’t believe in what we believe in you will go to Hell.”

Environmentalists are anti-people. There is no other way to correctly describe them. It is interesting to note the poor people of Asia, Central and South America and also Africa are not worthy to be spared because, they chop down forests, fish the rivers and streams, kill and eat animals, and bring mass environmental destruction to the planet in their daily search of survival, by merely trying to get enough to eat every day. All the while some of the wealthier of the eco-movement will burn ton after ton of jet fuel traveling to exotic vacation getaways, and dine on caviar and lobster, it matters little that much of which they eat, although expensive, are not indigenous to the area where they are at the moment. That translates to mean, they have been imported, and more jet fuels were burned getting them to their table. That’s okay after all, they are more worthy than the rest of the mortal man to everything on this earth. If you listen to some of them carefully, you’ll find that they want to horde it for themselves, and not see the bounties of the earth getting wasted on the little people, who are less deserving than they are. Besides, the ordinary people will just have another baby anyway to perpetuate the cycle.

At the end of the day, they worship at the altar of peace among other topics which can include, ecology, waste not want not, and preach the sermon of too many people or over-population, not enough land to grow food on to feed us all, and all of the minerals and products put on this earth are being used up, and they won’t get the lion’s share for themselves. They are not so tolerant toward anyone who will make any attempt to challenge their religion, as they resort to scare tactics ad infinitum.

In 1955 as I was entering the ninth grade, the Doom Sayers proclaimed nuclear destruction was going to end the earth. Damn! I was just getting started and the world was going to end already. When I finished High School and entered College, most of us were still here and the earth had survived in spite of the predictions. Then we were told the world’s oil supply would be depleted by 2000. Holy cow! I may as well not make any future plans for myself. What’s the use right? Better not buy a car either right? I finished college and decided to serve my country. After all there were bad guys all over the planet and freedom was being threatened. Little did I know that some of the worst and most evil of the enemy were in my own country working behind the scenes, and making every effort to poison the principals it stands for, and usurping not only the proud history, but were changing historical facts to further their agenda.

More threats came along. The environmentalists, the peace protesters and the chemo-phobics came out of the woodwork. When I went overseas there was no birth control pill, One day I returned home and the women were screaming at the top of their lungs for us to make love and not war. That was a day I freely admit I dropped to my knees and gave thanks, for I discovered that on that day there really was a God and my prayers were answered after all I was in my twenties.

The venire that was applied to my mind during High School and College was beginning to peel off. World war Two did not end the world, Korea didn’t, and Vietnam didn’t either. We didn’t run out of oil and the resources were still there and being used up by the millions of tons. So much for the credibility of the predictions from the Doom Sayers!

During World War One and Two, hundreds of ships were sunk by submarines and the oil and fuel aboard spilled over into the world’s oceans. Did someone call for a time out and asked for absurd clean up practices to get started before the war was continued? Did anyone accuse anyone else of pollution? Did anyone declare pollution a criminal act? The wars went on until reaching their respective conclusions, and no one mentioned the oil that washed up on the beaches and after enough time passed, the pollution problem was solved by itself. The earth always heals itself in the end.

Another twenty years passed and I found that the protesters were deeply entrenched in the school systems and I saw the history books being changed or manipulated. Abortion became legal and millions of babies were flushed down toilets as a form of birth control. I looked around and saw the peace movement participants were running the industries and many were fully embedded in politics and public office.

As the politicians changed in character, so did the morals of those around me, and many of the populace found what these people were doing was acceptable. Lying became no big thing to many, even going so far as to being embraced by a large percentage of us, and thefts were swept under the carpet. Illicit sex was condoned, extra-curricular sexual activities by people in high office became if not acceptable, shrugged off as being unimportant to place any significance on. I mean, why worry about it, everyone is doing it was the prevalent philosophy?

I think one of the worst things that happened was, years ago when Communism was the most vile and detrimental of the political philosophies, and people were being warned about it, it became dovetailed into the American way of life under different names, but embraced by hundreds of thousands. Treason was perpetrated by people of influence and few if any were prosecuted for the most heinous of crimes, the crimes committed against ones country was appalling. I recall Comrade Khrushchev bragged when he took his shoe off, pounded the podium with it at the UN and told us, “We are going to bury you and we aren’t going to have to fire a shot to do it.” He was right and people like Joseph McCarthy were right too. We should have been paying more attention.

The results are staggering in terms of the damage that has been caused by the people who are anti this, and anti that. Millions have died as a direct result of deaths by Malaria and Typhus as only two cited evils perpetrate by the “antis”. This is death that is akin to bone breaking misery, and can’t even begin to be described in terms of how much agony people have to endure for lengthy periods of time until, mercifully, they finally die. This is a direct result of DDT being removed from the market place as widespread hysteria enveloped people due to lies that were spread through disinformation. Lies based on nothing more than just half truths, innuendoes and of course just outright lies. Another mass killing worthy of mention is the countless millions of unborn children who have been killed before they had the opportunity to live outside of the womb.

Untold millions have been indoctrinated in the Liberal run school systems, and some graduate from High School today and can’t spell their own names, punctuate a simple letter or have a rudimentary knowledge of math or chemistry. The same goes for history. There are people who have graduated from college and believe Costa Rica is an island in the Caribbean.

Diversity has engendered a hatred of the US by many of its residents. They refuse to learn English they embrace their homelands and its culture and mores. Yet all the time sucking out the lifeblood of every social service in the country, and what is staggering beyond belief, there are whole cities breaking Federal Law and embracing the scofflaws to do just those very things.

There are politicians who encourage people to vote for them to get more freebies from the public troughs. They pass laws that if not outright anti-constitutional they skirt around it pretty closely. Mexico tells the US it wants to be a friend and yet offers packets of literature to the border jumping criminals on “How to get into the US illegally.” They do that because they don’t have the jobs or the economy to support their own people. If one reads Mexico’s immigration laws you’ll find that they aren’t so friendly as they seem to think the US Immigration should be.

Recently when the US, Canada and Mexico had a meeting in Texas, one of the Mexican delegation stole several Blackberries and when the Secret Service caught up with him at the airport, he first denied taking them, he was shown videos of him doing it, he gave them back, explaining it was a mistake and then claimed Diplomatic Immunity.

Diversity was invented by liberals and has engendered the words in front of every race such as African-American and Mexican-American. When I was in High School and college it was simply American period. I don’t recall anyone being a hyphenated anything. This slicing America up into segments by people who came to the US for a better life is dooming the US. It has caused dissension, a pride in other countries not the US and it is dividing the US with petty jealousies, and by separating the very people who used to make up the melting pot.

It is known an infamous college Professor was a violent American Terrorist during the sixties and seventies who admits to numerous bombings of public property he committed and is today a respected tenured College Professor along with his wife and they both proudly proclaim they “Wished they had done more.” They are unrepentant and thrive on teaching young college students about their hate for America. There are others in the teaching profession who are filled by one agenda after another which does not advocate equality, but engenders planned divisiveness in a curriculum filled with teachings from radical political manuscripts such as the Communist Manifesto. Communism does not work and the great USSR fell as a testament to that fact.

Another lie laced book pushed by the left is a  book by a chemo-phobe,  her  name was  Rachael Carson. She wrote Silent Spring. Statements made in Silent Spring have been studied and many true scientists have concluded that Rachael lied through her teeth throughout the book to further push her personal agenda. There’s nothing new about that. People do it all the time. People lie and they keep their fingers crossed no one is going to catch on. When they do get caught lying, they go on to something new. People forget eventually but not all of us.

The environmental mindsets have harbored a multitude of anti-people agendas. They collect millions in donations from gullible people and they continue to spread lies about every conceivable subject matter. When they are caught in a lie, they shift and go on to the next set of untruths, and never explain to anyone why they told the initial lies in the first place. They rob public coffers from assets that could be used to build schools or playgrounds, or any of dozens of public works projects when they file frivolous lawsuits, that are designed for one purpose, and that is to bankrupt cities or states and especially the Federal Government, at the very least, to divert funds from public coffers so that governments have to hire legal expertise thereby draining resources. This is all done in the name of environmentalism and saving the planet regardless of the damage that gets done.

There are billions of gallons of untapped oil under the Tundra in Alaska and yet the greens want to have that vast area declared a protected environmental zone. Protected from what? The bears and other wildlife have no problem getting past the pipeline in place. It is just another tactic to deny people the access to the resources of the earth to suit their twisted agenda.

The lies and the inflated so called facts remind me of the tactics used by those who would deny people of their second amendment rights guaranteed by the Constitution for Gun Ownership. They proclaim hundreds of thousand of children are killed every year by guns and yet FBI figures say less than a thousand suffer this fate. Nobody checks, nobody verifies and the numbers the radicals come up with are usually bogus. Every now and then even after the numbers have been proven to be false, someone will still cite the erroneous information on occasion, once said, always there, and still a lie.

As Costa Rica irons out the wrinkles of their environmental disasters in Guanacaste on the Pacific Coast I see that the final bills for the mistakes made there will in all probability be thrust on the shoulders of the taxpayers. I have yet to read anywhere how any environmental group is going to shell out millions of dollars to fix anything. Has the Sierra Club donated manual labor or money? What about the Green Peace organization? What will happen in all likelihood is that Costa Rica will send someone out into the world with their hat in their hand and try to entice some rich country into footing the bill for the cleanup. The environmental groups will collect another billion in donations, and the board of directors of those groups will make another trip to Aspen to ski next winter, or travel to the Swiss Alps. They will smile because they have pulled off the perfect scam another year as the people continue to buy into their new religion.

The minions, those believers in the cause will continue to mouth the words of the new religion of environmentalism and thrown themselves on the alter of the Mother Earth on that reverent event called Earth Day. I wonder when the people who are buying into this will finally figure it out? I suppose after they have lived another forty or so years and they finally open their eye and see the handwriting on the wall, but it may be too late by then. Take a look at the damage that has ensued because of the lies. Poorly educated youth, the loss of freedom in the US and what is left of the industrialized world as it is saddled down with debt that will bankrupt entire countries chasing the elusive ghost of Global Warming or whatever the next coined doomsday phrase will be.

Hatred

What a powerful word hatred is, and it can cover a lot of territory depending on how it is used! In America, and in many other countries, it can be applied to so many different areas. Usually, it is used to describe something someone does not like, most often in terms of an intense dislike.

Let us take a deeper look at the word and apply it to another faction. Hate is described in the dictionary as an intense hostility, and aversion, usually deriving from fear, anger and a sense of injury, an extreme dislike or antipathy or a loathing of something.

In the US, there is a hate by certain factions regarding others of a particular group. I have watched the blacks and the whites hate each other, and I have seen the heterosexual express hatred for the homosexual. There are women who hate men and vice versa, some people hate children. Hatred goes deep and runs extremely wide regardless of who is doing the hating. The Democrats and the Republicans hate each other and it makes you wonder why, it is hard to see any differences in either party. However, regardless of what inspires hate, it is there and surrounds us, each one of us, all the time.

People stuck in traffic hate those who are on motorcycles and fume as they weave around it effortlessly. Some hate the driver that hogs the left hand lane, and others hate those who pull out in front of them and make us apply the brakes. Some short people hate tall people and tall people do not care but, there is a real hate in the world today, and it is directed at most of us. The haters do not just dislike us, they want to kill us. It is the spread of a doctrine that teaches, “If you aren’t one of us you should be dead.”

We as Americans should take the threats directed at us seriously, because if we don’t, we are all going to suffer from a war that will get just as ugly as any other that has ever been waged in history. Our society as a whole is polarized, and it is getting worse by the day. It is one group or another against everyone else. It is preached in the schools and the Universities, it comes from the silver screen and the TV blasts it into your homes. It is difficult to get away from because it is there whether it be subtly, or is an in your face confrontation, it is there never-the-less. I know it sounds like a cliché but it was not like that when I was a boy. What is really scary about it is, it is getting worse all the time. People generally don’t care much about each other these days.

As you prepare yourself for what looms on the horizon keep your awareness of hatred in the corner of your mind, and remember, there are few people these days that are truly friends, and you should note that. Seventy-five years ago people were close and they stuck together, but it is not that way any longer. It has become a society of dog eat dog, and it is worse in the cities if you live in one of them.

As a Serious Prepper, you should be going about such as the busy little ant taking care of business, and you should not be confiding in those around you, because doing so, will compromise what you are doing by your own words. During World War Two, there were poster hanging on the walls and they said, “Loose lips sink ships.” You never know who hates you right now, and who hates you bad enough to do anything to keep you from surviving whatever may come. Years ago my grandfather told me that if I was going to undertake something in life that may be difficult to do, to keep it to myself, and not tell anyone about it unless I really trusted them. I asked him why, and he said, because people don’t want you to do anything they can’t do themselves, or that they can’t have, and they will steal your dreams by putting you down, and making fun of you. In so doing they are robbing you of your objective. People are jealous and people hate.

We are in for some extremely tough times. You know it because of who you are and what you do on a daily basis. There are many who aren’t getting prepared and will tell you if you ask them, when things unravel, they will take what you have. There are others who will ingratiate themselves into your good graces and will take what you have by deceit and through cunning. You will have to be on guard now and in the dark days that are on the horizon. Watch out for hatred because, the haters don’t care about you, they only care about themselves. You mean nothing to them if you look a little deeper at whom they are. They are those who hate everything, and they have caused the mess we are in.

History will be a harsh judge of those who have taken the greatest country in the world and have destroyed it from within. They live among us, spreading hate and dissention wherever they go, and it penetrates all that they are, and all that they ever will be. Recognize them and guard yourself from them. You have those you care about near to you because the haters are a cancer that has eaten the insides out of the Republic as a parasite does its host. It allows the host to stay alive long enough to gorge on it until in its feasting of malevolence, it feeds too long, and too voraciously, and the host dies. Fortunately, so does the cancer that fed on its victim. In that we must believe, there is retribution for hatred, because it kills everything eventually including the haters themselves.

As a serious individual who intends to survive that which will surely come, you are to be admired and revered because it is you, and people like you who will survive when all we know will go from one extreme to another. You will have your books that tell you “How To Do” almost anything. You will eat when others around you will starve, and you will be in a position to protect not only what you have sacrificed to have and put away, but to guard those you love because you have readied yourself with what is needed.

I’ve been a practicing preparedness person for many years, and I have watched the US go from a great country, the one country everyone on earth wanted to be like. A place where everyone wanted to come to and live. It has come full circle to nearly a bankrupt country as the greatest treasury on earth was squandered by those who hate you, and me. The most superb school system has been reduced to a government propaganda machine churning out little minions who many can barely read and write their own names, and your leaders have sold you out to line their own pockets at your expense. They are there to serve, but they serve only themselves. They are haters, and they hate you, because if they didn’t, there would be no way they could do to the US what they have done to it.

None of us has to be a Doctor of Economics to understand what has happened to our wealth. We don’t have to be a philosopher to figure out how the world manipulated the US into being the World’s Policeman, fighting everyone’s wars for them. We maintain over 700 military bases worldwide. Our leaders spend your money feeding, maintain, staffing, and maneuvering our military at a huge cost to the tax payers every year. In the meantime, our country has been overrun by foreigners who have flocked to our shores and taken up residency throughout the land. Some are contributors but by and large, many simply suck off the various systems and contribute nothing. Safeguards that were in place for Americans has been siphoned dry leaving nothing for those of us who contributed to what was supposed to be ours for our entire lives.

One day soon when the jobs are no longer available to us, it will be a bitter pill to swallow when we realize those jobs that are gone, are gone forever, and won’t be coming back. We have been marched to the chopping block with our hands tied behind our backs, made to kneel over the chopping block, to await the axe of those who hate us. You as a forward thinker are the ones who will survive. Unfortunately, the legacy we are to be left with is a mountain of debt to our children, who will be lock-step marched to a job from daylight to sundown, seven days a week for food and water, to make good what your leaders have caused to happen to our great nation, our monetary system and our freedoms. As a serious thinker you will be a part of those who take up the banner and will survive it all. My respect for a serious person who sees what is coming and has pledged to survive that which is beyond mere words, I simply am awed by good people who are answering the call that is being sounded loud and clear.

If you can’t remember anything I’ve said here, remember this: “Haters don’t really hate you; they hate themselves because you are a reflection of what they wish they could be.”

Getting Painted With the Radical Brush

I have posted many articles on various Internet sites throughout the years. I’ve been telling my readers and friends to be aware of what is coming down the road for all of us, and many of the points of those agendas directed at us is not in our best interest.

Government is a necessary evil. We deal with it and we go along with it because it should do those things we aren’t able to do ourselves. As an individual we cannot defend the entire country and we cannot run a military simply put. So, what is the alternative? We depend on the government to watch out for us and to run things we don’t want to be bothered with. One day we wake up, look around, and see that the government is no longer working with us, or doing those things we don’t want to or can’t do for ourselves. The government has become self-serving. It works to empower its own self interest and its own unique power over all of us. It is no longer our friend, it is now that axe that hangs over our individual heads. What’s sad about that is we have elected politicians to do this to us.

Is it wrong or radical to shout a warning to someone across the street getting ready to step off the curb into the street in front of an oncoming bus? If your neighbor fell over in his yard clutching at his chest and you saw it, and you call 911, are you wrong for making the call? If an accident happened in front of your eyes and you call for help is that wrong as well? I have been writing for many years and I have been warning people that all is not well in America. There are so many things amiss right now it is almost impossible to find a starting point to describe to those who are as concerned as you are, where do we begin? Let’s begin with what is right about America and follow up by what is wrong.

America is the country where freedom from oppression was so commonplace people took it for granted. We all knew the police weren’t going to break down our door and haul us off to some obscure prison, and we were never heard from again. Or, they would come in and storm our home dragging us outside and then shooting us down as if we were a rabid dog. In fact, just saying that will get a chuckle these days, but is that really the way it still is? We do have examples that show us you can’t count on the police not storming your home and killing you. Two glaring examples are Ruby Ridge and Waco, Texas to prove my point. Can it happen again? I wouldn’t bet a dime that it won’t.

Illegal immigration has swept the nation with people wanting a better life. I see nothing wrong with that but I do see everything wrong with it if those people don’t follow the rules, get medical checkups and they submit to schooling to learn about the US and then become citizens. By sneaking in, having a baby just to be able to stay here, resorting to crime as a living, dealing drugs and raping and killing our citizens, isn’t what I call anything I would remotely consider the right things to be doing. In fact, some return to where they came from to avoid prosecution. I have a problem with it. I have a problem when duly elected politicians who are supposed to do the will of the people, but don’t and are self serving in their own interest. The will of the people be damned. Those politicians work for us. When do you suppose they will get it?

Illegal immigration has flooded our country with people infected with Tuberculosis, Venereal Diseases, Whooping Cough and other highly contagious diseases such as leprosy. They come into the US and they spread death, misery, and suffering that should never have been allowed to happen. Additionally, they bring their crime and hate with them. They plunder the social services that are set up for the American poor and needy people, and they bankrupt those services with overwhelming numbers. They laugh at the American flag, our customs and fundamental freedoms. Do you think they come to America seeking freedom? They come for the free lunch which is doled out by the Dudley Do Rights and which they cannot receive at home.

Lawsuits are so common place in America one never knows when their day will come as an individual. What was once a silly notion is now a lawsuit that can bring the recipients hundreds of thousands of dollars. One woman I heard about had her child in a walker. A devise you sit your child in and it gives him the ability to walk around the house seated in this little wheeled aid. The wheels on the bottom of it assist the child’s freedom of movement and unattended. This particular woman wasn’t watching the little guy and he fell down a flight of steps and was killed. She sued the manufacturer of the walker and got a huge settlement. She should have gone to jail for negligence yet a jury awarded her a huge settlement.

Another stupid lawsuit happened when a shopping center employee was trying to take down an American flag. The flag was one of those huge flags that are a hundred feet by furty feet in dimensions. The employee was struggling with it because the wind was blowing. A Good Samaritan passing by in his car stopped to help seeing the man was having a problem. While the passerby was helping with the flag a gust of wind caught it and the shopping center groundskeeper was flipped backward landing on his head. The passerby got help for the injured man by calling 911 and was later sued by the injured man for negligence because one of the corners he was holding was jerked out of his hand by the gust of wind causing the employee to fall backward. When the good Samaritan didn’t have the money to pay the settlement he had to file bankruptcy, the employee sued the flag manufacturer. The original flag manufacturer was already out of business so they went after another company that made flags and had bought some of the equipment of the original flag maker. They were left to pay the settlement. How does one understand that?

Those frivolous lawsuits have increased the cost of living for every American. Every time you see a doctor, or make a purchase something is added to the cost just in case so they can bear the expenses of a lawsuit. What should really happen is a judge or a jury with some common sense should say, “Accidents happen. Get used to it.” And everyone goes about their merry way instead of having to walk around on egg shells all the time because of ignorant and greedy people.

Welfare from the cradle to the grave is an outrageous expense borne by the American public. There are millions of people who don’t work and don’t want to work in the system and they are not only born into it but get additional enumeration for having another child which also gets plugged into the arrangement. I read a story recently where a young woman called herself “the bread and butter for her family.” This is how it works-The young woman gets pregnant every year by a different man. She is declared incompetent by the state to support her children so her Grandmother steps up and says, “I have a home and I can support that child.” The state gives the grandmother in excess of three thousand dollars a month to support that child. The grandmother is supporting ten other children by other daughters and sons and is racking in somewhere in the neighborhood of $360,000 a year. It’s your money.

I once knew a man who was receiving Social Security payments for being declared legally blind. He went fishing every day. That was his passion. He was making a good living for doing nothing from day to day. I knew another man who was also receiving medical Social Security payments for being disabled. He was a heavy smoker from the age of ten. He continued to smoke heavily every single day of his life. One day he went to work at a shipyard as a painter. They worked oftentimes down in the tanks of a ship where various liquids are stored. One of those shipboard tanks might be ballast or salt water and they had to be covered with an anti-corrosive epoxy to prevent rust. He worked there for three years and then was laid off. He went to a doctor because the medical insurance was quite good from the union at the shipyard and the doctor told him his lungs were shot. He went to another doctor and was told the same thing. Someone suggested Social Security medical benefits and he pursued that. Today he lives in a $500,000 home, and gets over $3,500 a month. He is still alive and still smokes. There are thousands of those types of stories. The American public picks up the tab for that.

It is estimated the US has borrowed somewhere in the neighborhood of 14 trillion dollars from nearly every country on this earth. We are paying 500 billion dollars a month in interest alone. Our children, and their children and their children will be paying back that debt for the next fifty years or longer. That means that children yet unborn have been saddled with a debt of $300,000 per person for as long as they live and they haven’t been born yet. That is absolutely incredible. Is that the legacy you want to leave those who are yet to be born?

Most of us strive to insure our children have it better than we did. What do you suppose a kid not born yet will be thinking thirty years from now when he is chained to a piece of machinery in a factory that he has to be at for twelve hours a day, seven days a week for the rest of his life because of what we allowed to happen to America?

The depression that is coming is going to be grueling. There is no escaping it at this late date. It is traveling at us at the speed of a train with the throttle stuck in the full open position and there is no one at the controls. Will it crash and be derailed? How can it not? How is it that we hide our eyes and our ears from what is happening to us and we cannot see what these public servants have done to us? All of us. We need to do something about these criminals who supposedly work for us. We need to have our voices heard loud and clear that we won’t take it anymore and the changes better happen and they better happen now.

The last item and a topic most important to all of us is, we need to stop being the policeman of the world. We need to shut down those 700 plus military bases all over the world and bring all of our troops home and put them on the borders of our great nation. We need to evict everyone from the United Nations and shut the building down forthwith. We need to stop all foreign aid immediately. What we don’t spend on those agendas we should be spending on our own infrastructure and paying off our debt. We should hold trials and we should be executing the treasonous traitors who have put us in this terrible situation. We should enact a new Amendment to the US Constitution and declare anyone who is anti-America in any way to be the enemy of the state and should be dealt with harshly. Additionally we should never again allow any lawyer to hold any public office whatsoever ever again.

The brush of the radical can be applied to George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and many others of our founding fathers. They took up arms against the Super Power of its day and took a country away from England after waging a war and they did it twice. Am I a radical? Perhaps I am. Perhaps there are millions who want their country back. Who want what is best for their children. Most of all what we want, no, I say demand.  We want our freedom from a government who is hell bent on enslaving Americans for an agenda one can only describe as Marxist/ Communism. Don’t redistribute any of my wealth without my permission. Don’t take my Liberties’ and give them to an illegal alien. Don’t squander my way of life and tell me it’s for my own good. Don’t tell me up is really down and that white is really black. Don’t tell me that something that once was in actual history isn’t what it really is because someone wants to change the way we use words to describe things. Or perhaps they have some sort of a transparent agenda in changing our actual history.

Americans are a proud people. They are generous to a fault. No matter what happens anywhere in the world we are the first to roll up our sleeves and pitch in. We give freely of our money, our expertise and technology. We have given all that there was to give including the cream of our youth who gave their very lives fighting wars to make millions of non-Americans free. They are interred in obscure place with names such as Eniwetok, Palau, Gettysburg, Normandy, Korea and Vietnam among others. America has been fighting some war somewhere all my life and there never seems to be an end to it. When will Americans wake up and understand the light of Liberty, once a bright beacon that shined through the inky skies of foreign national enslavement is barely a spark today of its former self. It has been lost in the bleak darkness of treason and malfeasance and we must act against those who would enslave us before we are all in chains and are helpless to do anything but row the ship of tyranny and who knows where it is going?

Communism

People forget Karl Marx wrote the Communist Manifesto in 1848. A year before the wagon trains began rolling west and a year before gold was discovered in California which sparked one of the greatest migrations in human history. His pal and fellow writer Frederick Engels wrote, “A specter is haunting Europe-the specter of Communism.” Marx had completed Das Kapital, the Bible of Communists and Socialists a mere few years earlier as a reporter.

Marx was accurate, he told people of that era about the terrible conditions of working men, women and children. Women were roped to heavy canal barges loaded with coal and they pulled them from one place to another. They walked along the canals day after day. Many women and girls were inside the mills working to manufacture goods that were sold worldwide. All of them worked six days a week fifteen hours a day including children who did jobs that men and women had to do. My grandfather went to work in the coal mines at the age of seven picking slate out of the coal that went by on a conveyor assembly. He told me his father had to tie him in place so he wouldn’t get shaken off the conveyor and fall sixty feet straight down.

Diseases ravaged these populations sweeping through them with devastating effect as Tuberculosis cut down everyone. Syphilis was another killer and so was Typhus. Great writers of the day such as Dickens wrote stories about those people in addition to Marx. Marx was right about the conditions of those people but he was wrong about much more.

According to Marx these conditions were all about and were caused by greed of the mine and factory owners. It was given a name “A Surplus Value.” His remedy for these injustices was to preach hate, of class struggles, the redistribution of wealth, the confiscation of private property and its ownership to be relegated to the states. Greed and exploitation is never cured by socialism. Those in charge at the top of the party live like decadent ancient kings and the rest of the people would continue to struggle. Look how Castro lives, Stalin, Hitler, and the rest of them too numerous to mention lived at the top.

However Marx never mentioned anything about the men, women and children that crossed the great Plaines pushing and pulling wagons as they went, and they walked across a continent. Perhaps he didn’t know about them yet, those prospectors who worked all day and into the night digging in the ground and washing their pickings in a stream. Living in makeshift cabins and covered with lice. Those people suffered almost unbearable hardships and deprivations, yet they worked on. The difference between what they did and the people in the Marx stories was, those immigrants and miners were working for themselves and had no illusions about who would spend the money if they struck it rich.

I hate communism. It is full of lies, subtle deceptions, treason, an allegiance to a foreign government, hatred of religion, and absolute contempt for God and the God given rights of individuals. Wherever communism achieves a foothold there is murder, slave labor, concentration camps, and a despotic control of every aspect of human life. It continues today.

These are only by-products and methods of communism. Communism does not advocate an all out war to get the job of adoption by everyone in believing in its values and beliefs, it suggests a “wrest by degrees” process. It means to get inside the Democratic processes and to begin to subtly turn a belief of a certain philosophy into one of disbelief. Even if this process of changing people’s minds takes several generation. Its ultimate goal is to take a fair system of equality and distort it with hate of a system. To preach hate against the haves, the rich, the more educated, the more famous, the prejudices of one class against another and then like a good parasite it preserves the host and kills it ever so slowly.

Communism is an ugly, distortion of the truths of all people, their values and the morals. Any segment of a population that feels they are not getting a fair shake are exploited, encouraged to rebel, to resort to civil insurrection and to lobby to have laws enacted that will give them a little bit more of an edge over some other class or group. It isn’t enough to just be equal after all.

America suffers from a cancer that will eventually snuff the life out of liberty and freedom. It will probably not recover at this late date, but my wish is that it will. The social back stabbers have given enough people a spot at the public feeding trough and as they feed they don’t care as long as the checks or benefits keep on coming. It doesn’t matter to the teat-suckers who is providing what they get as long as they get.

The politicians who are making the promises are a good place to begin to turn things around. They should be kicked out of office everywhere they can be found, and in some cases prosecuted for their crimes against you the people and against America. We all know who they are, they are implicated time and again for their less than insidious subtleness, and it is time you say to them, “You (all Americans) are pissed at what they are doing to you and your country and you aren’t going to take it anymore.”
