Iconoclasts – Know the Enemy!

During the Summer of 2020, the world watched in horror as a group of people became unhinged. They destroyed statues, wreaking images and ripping apart the social fabric of nations, destroying years of history all for purely political reasons and personal satisfaction. These iconoclasts did not spring up suddenly; they were carefully groomed into existence. The anger they expressed had been carefully tindered, fed, and fueled into the raging inferno observed on the nightly news. Nothing is sacred to an iconoclast. Any image, including statues, paintings, murals, buildings, everything man has ever created for social, religious, or political expression, was on the table of destruction, and these ignorant savages were going to destroy it.

Please, do not delude yourself. The iconoclasts did not “suddenly come to themselves;” no, they are still out there, waiting for the next opportunity of convenience to become unhinged and destroy again. But, you say, it is peaceful now; surely these people deserve dignity and should be offered the grace of justice. No, a thousand times no, and a thousand times again, NO!

As a youth, I was told a story about an American Indian and a rattlesnake. The rattlesnake had been captured by an eagle, flown high into the mountains, and was dropped. The Indian was on a quest for enlightenment and happened upon the rattlesnake who begged for help and to be carried down to the desert so he would not die. At first, the Indian said no. He was wise. He knew the snake would bite him and told the snake no. But over time, the pitiful cries of the snake could be heard, and eventually, the Indian left his quest and carried the snake down to the desert below. Always with the most solemn promises from the snake to not bite him. As the boy removed the snake from his tunic upon arrival in the desert, the snake bit him in the chest. As the boy lay dying, he asked the snake why; the snake replied, “You knew what I was when you picked me up.”

A snake does not become a toothless grass eater or honors his promises merely because he is begging for his life, and a terrorist does not become a law-abiding citizen by wishing and hoping. The iconoclast is a terrorist, and a terrorist, at heart, has thrown off all compunction, all morals, all ties to society for the personal pleasure of watching it burn. The terrorist wants to promote terror, is a political monster, and destroys for pleasure. The iconoclast attacks and seeks to overthrow traditional or popular ideas and institutions. Terrorists use violence. The iconoclast uses violence—both delight in the mayhem they cause.The imposition of belief does not separate a terrorist and an iconoclast; in fact, the desire to force beliefs upon a population brings terrorists and iconoclasts more closely aligned. The only significant difference between an iconoclast and a terrorist is the weapons of choice. To a terrorist, the weapons are paid for through third parties who want to watch the destruction unfold (LIC). The iconoclast will use whatever weapon is available. Look at the toppling of statues, were they toppled using the proper equipment or whatever was available? The iconoclast is an opportunist who takes advantage of situations, whereas the terrorist, a political monster, will create incidents, not take advantage of incidents. Not that both are not committing acts of violence or spreading terror, but the terrorist wants to replace the system with one more their liking, and the iconoclast merely wants to see things destroyed.

The terrorist is different from an iconoclast in one other major way; the terrorist does not hide in society to pull down that society. The iconoclast, as an opportunist, will wait, plot, scheme, and take advantage of every opportunity to create mayhem through the destruction of icons, symbols, images and has no problem becoming president, a teacher, a preacher, or any other job where they can act as a slow poison on a social body. One of the best and most famous iconoclasts of the 19th century were Frances Fox Piven and Richard Andrew Cloward. These two failed at being terrorists but have integrated themselves so thoroughly into American Society that they have been able to blind minds as iconoclasts and accomplish goals they could not achieve as terrorists with Weather Underground.

Frances Fox Piven’s book, “Challenging Authority” How Ordinary People Change America,” outlines the complete plan of this iconoclast, and yes, a line of congruence does exist between Mein Kampf and this book and author. All tyrants will tell you their goals before they implement them. As a freedom-loving person, I find this book to be incredibly difficult to read, and when compared with the history from the 1960s to today, I remain sickened by the success of these iconoclasts. 02 May 1966, the publication “The Nation” prints an article written by Cloward and Piven called “The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty.” Don’t worry if you missed this article, “The Nation” celebrated the 50^th anniversary of this garbage. That the Cloward and Piven team were better iconoclasts than terrorists should not come as a surprise, frankly, nor should their drivel be published, but I digress.

Cloward and Piven’s iconoclastic theory was to force chaos on the body politic to keep impoverished people poor and angry, take advantage of their anger, and gain political power through riotings and disturbances. The theory also begged for a massive expansion of the welfare rolls to build an ever-larger class of permanently aggrieved people. Consider the elected officials who keep pushing for socialized medicine in America; they are iconoclasts, straight out of Cloward and Piven’s theories. Recently the media has discussed the need for a guaranteed income, paid for by the government through the forced taxation of others. This is another iconoclastic idea that finds roots in Cloward and Piven. Look at every single political talking point from criminal justice reform to immigration, and you will find an iconoclast tearing away at the icons and fabric of America for personal profit and individual enjoyment.

Lots of media ink has been spilt on homosexual rights, privileges, and changing the nuclear family and marriage laws. Would you be surprised to learn that those championing these talking points are iconoclasts taking their script from Cloward and Piven? Would the “Woke Agenda” shock you to know that those who pitch this idea are iconoclasts and take their cues from Cloward and Piven’s theories and writings? What about increasing the minimum wage; would you be interested in knowing that even a minimum wage is iconoclastic? Forget about those pitching for an increased minimum wage to $15 an hour being iconoclastic. The mere philosophy of having a minimum wage is iconoclastic and anathema to American history and the US Constitution.

Iconoclasts are a secret society, but the secret is open and in full view. The confusion these people generate helps them gain power, provides the fodder for their abhorrent behavior, and promotes them higher in power. Why is the government so intransigent; the iconoclasts acting as “good bureaucrats” make the government intransigent and are held in control by other iconoclasts. The iconoclasts tear down and destroy using plasticized terms like empathy, democracy, helping, support, dignity, and more. Criminal justice reform punishes the victims of crime. Welfare reform further strips those receiving welfare benefits of pride, honor, and the satisfaction that work provides, ever-widening the gulf between those who need and cannot obtain and those who receive welfare benefits. Immigration reform is labeled as dignity, but in reality is nothing more than spitting in the eye of those who followed the rules, sacrificed, and acted appropriately. The iconoclast always looks to how they can destroy something good and leave a void or replace it with something that perpetuates the further destruction of a society.

In a recent case, Pete Buttigieg took the money sent by Congress for roads and bridges, and designed plans to spend it on climate change and make roads less racist. A road cannot be racist, but those in control are iconoclasts, and if they can further frustrate the road and bridges problem, they can sit back and watch the daily commute of millions of people and laugh hysterically. The iconoclasts imposing this madness are called “innovators,” “innovation leaders,” and “forward-thinkers.” All words plasticized to erode further and eventually destroy the American government, trust in government, and continue the eating away of the social glue holding America together. Using laws to punish the innocent, protect the guilty, and make good and right evil, while evil is heralded as proper and transformative.

Iconoclasts did that, and we, the American people, need to know our enemy. We need to understand what we are seeing. You are not racist, homophobic, regressive, or any number of other names for asking questions or dissenting to the actions the iconoclasts are imposing. You need to know who and what the enemy is and does to thwart the enemy properly. It is good to stand for truth, justice, and the American way! It is expected that the iconoclasts and terrorists in our Constitutional Republic would want to damage and destroy. Not acceptable, but expected, because a Constitutional Republic, to ensure freedom for all, does not have natural freedom crushing antibodies in the system to rid the body politic of these types of people.

Would you like some weapons in your arsenal to fight iconoclasts; ask for proof. Remember, research does not provide proof of anything. Looking at the fruits of the ideas and asking about the evidence that what they are proposing is beneficial. For example, has the minimum wage been helpful; no, the minimum wage has not been beneficial. People made more money, but the government increased inflation, borrowed more money, and charged more money for taxes, increasing the cost of living and then increasing the minimum wage to “assist the poor.” Socialized medicine has this practice borne positive or negative results; the answer is resoundingly negative, and implementation of socialized medicine destroys too much! Immigration reform has any immigration reform improved the plight of Americans ever; again, a resoundingly negative response occurs. Crime went up, illegal immigration went up, social ills went up, moral decline, welfare rolls increased substantially, and much more happened.

Iconoclasts can only be fought when we:

1. 1. 1. 1. Stand together
        
        Learn
        
        Act in unity
        
        Never settle

What will you learn today that improves your tomorrow? How will you use this information? Does America die on your watch from the thousands of cuts the iconoclasts have made? Today, let us resolve that America does not die on our watch. No matter the difficulties, we must fight the iconoclasts!

What do we DO? – I have an Answer – Several, in fact!

Dont Tread On Me Regularly, after I write an article, I am asked, “What is a person to do?” The question is generally followed by the following, “The enemies are vast, the criminals are legion, the forces entrenched, and the allies are too few in number to matter.” As Rogers and Hammerstein would relate, I am not a “Cockeyed Optimist;” however, please allow me to relate and offer some suggestions.

Earlier this past week, I was in Walmart after an ER visit, never pleasant. What was worse about this visit was that some toddler was being teased mercilessly by an older child to scream hysterically. At this point in my day, my cherub-like demeanor is on life-support, and I am crying, “For the love of mud and money, make it stop. Parents end the torture, stop this child screaming!” The parents were immune to the screams, the public refused to intervene, the store refused to manage the parents, and I was left to suffer, along with every other person, to the sounds of this child screaming.

Foghorn Leghorn - Medication I wandered from the pharmacy to other parts of the store, looking for anywhere I could hide to escape the onslaught of this child’s screams and could find no place safe from the sounds and attacks on my nerves. I went looking for this child to offer gold, silver, food, anything to silence this detestable decibel desecration and end the onslaught. That is when I discovered how uncaring and useless the parents were in controlling their children and realized the minority could not be bribed into obedience.

In the agony of this experience, but worse after several days of recollection, I have learned some valuable lessons.

1. 1. The child screaming is not the majority of children. Worse, the children are not the majority of people in the population. The ones screaming are such a small percentage that with minimal adults banding together, caring, and taking action, the child and the weak-kneed adults could easily be overpowered and sanity restored.
  2. While some suffering is good for the soul, other suffering requires action, commitment, and dedication to principles of freedom to overcome.
  3. How do you tell the difference – There is NO difference! There is no distinction between one type of suffering or another. All suffering can be fought against and won if the individual has strong enough intestinal fortitude and can gather enough like-minded people willing to care and act!

Sharing is Caring How do I know this is correct? I talked to people; I observed people suffering under the hellacious onslaught of this toddler screaming, these parents’ indifference, and understood a common principle for Republican Societies, gather enough like-minded people dedicated to a common cause, and blessed change can occur. I kept asking, why didn’t the parents demand the older child stop teasing, the younger, and can only surmise they desired this public spectacle for personal gain, attention, and because they like sharing the power they have over society when their children misbehave.

Character List

Angry Wet Chicken It is common knowledge George Soros has invested a LOT of money into the criminal justice system, especially into city district attorneys, to win criminal justice and abuse victims. If George Soros is akin to the parents, and his ilk are those paying for the toddlers and older children to tease for personal gain when the toddler screams. We have a pattern and reasoning for the toddlers raising rhubarbs in the Walmart societies called “America.”

Having identified the parents, who are the toddlers screaming and throwing a fit? May I suggest we look to the evening news for characters screaming. Paid actors who raise their cackles at the drop of dimes annoy the populace every time they open their mouths. ANTIFA, BLM, LGBTQ+ communities, Communists, Leftists, Extremists on both sides of the political spectrum, Labor Unions, AOC and her band of merry idiots in the US House of Representatives, Pelosi, Biden and his bucolic band of bumblers, other politicians, and those who consider themselves of the “political class,” “peaceful protestors” which are nothing but terrorists burning cities and towns across America, and so many more. Never forget, some of the worst people screaming are those reporting the screamers themselves, the corporate media!

Angry Grizzly Bear Who is the older child relentlessly teasing, on the urging and the silent approval of the parents, the toddler? Would it surprise anyone if the first and most potent teaser are the bureaucrats who refuse to be governed and scrutinized? How can we know this is a fact; how did “peaceful protestors” burn down a police station? How did police officer defunding grow into such a cohesive movement in such a short time? How did funding move so quickly from city to city across America, and delivery of bricks and other riot supplies mysteriously appear in riot zones, without anyone noticing? The bureaucrats across this nation are up to their collective eyeballs in protecting their power from the citizens from catching wise of their crimes. Why do you think so much money was pumped into the races of those who count ballots!

Who else is teasing the toddlers? Big tech is playing a supporting role. Big pharmaceutical is playing a supporting role. Both receive considerable windfalls in investment support, and the evidence can be found when you play simple games of “Follow the money.” Corporate media in 2020 was caught on camera teasing the toddler and participating as a toddler in the screaming, and nothing was done to punish the press. Hollywood, many of the most lurid and detestable of Hollywood, are paying considerable sums to practice low-intensity conflict (LIC) from the comfort of their living room for personal gain and private glee.

Realization

How big is the population of toddlers? Tiny, all but insignificant. Want to know a secret; like all terrorist organizations and toddlers around the world, they know how small they are, how insignificant they are, and they know their only weapon is NOISE! Why are the terrible two’s and three’s called “Terrible,” because the child has learned how small they are and have realized they can affect the world through obnoxious NOISES! Gaining attention through NOISE. Being discovered, having fun, getting rewards, all this and more through NOISE! What do responsible parents do to correct behavior in toddlers to make the “terrible” two’s and three’s less terrible, behavior modification! The Duty of Americans

What is the first step? The responsible parent stops the older child from teasing the toddler! Usually through behavior modification of the older child! If the older child persists, the behavior modification increases until that child learns teasing will NOT be tolerated! At the same time, the responsible parent is also correcting the noise the toddler is making and correcting the child to use words or signs until communication skills catch up with mental abilities, making clear that abject NOISE is NOT tolerated – also increasing behavior modification until the lesson is learned and NOISE is stopped!

Suggestions

1. 1. Band together. I cannot emphasize this enough! Like-minded people built America, and until like-minded people reband to rebuild, nothing is going to change!
  2. See something, say something!
  3. Ridicule is a powerful tool! Laugh at the stupidity and the inanity of those who would abuse our tolerance.
  4. Record the toddlers acting the fool. Post those recordings. Share the recordings with others. Mock, ridicule, and publicly shame! Public shame is not harmful, nor is it discriminatory. Until the toddlers learn to use logic and words, they deserve to be mocked, scorned, and humiliated!
  5. Every time the toddler’s teasers are discovered, post, share, like, and ridicule!
  6. Take decisive ACTION! – The toddlers gain power when action is not taken. Simple lesson parents learn. Retake the power from the toddlers, and this also is not discriminatory. Society belongs to those willing to sacrifice for it, and the toddler will not sacrifice; thus, the toddler has no place in society.
  7. The toddler’s good behavior cannot be purchased with gifts, bribes, shiny baubles, and other transitory items. The toddler is appetite incarnate; the only thing that works to curb a toddler’s appetite is to teach behavior modification! Behavior modification is NOT discrimination!
  8. Understand LIC. Know LIC. Fight using the principles of LIC. It cannot be understated; this is war, LIC is WAR! The toddlers have waged war, and right now, they think they are winning because they are not finding any opposition. If you need a refresher on LIC, check out the links, read up, and learn!

Final Comments and Thoughts

It does not matter if the entire house is full of toddlers and mischievous boys hell-bent on teasing the toddlers into an army of NOISE bombs! The adults are always in charge, always outnumbering the toddlers, and always in command! Use this knowledge to strategize, organize, think, layout tactics, and begin today to out-think, outsmart, and outmaneuver the teasing older children to reduce the toddler noise! You and I, we outnumber these pestilential reprobates, and the rule of law IS sufficient to the task of curbing this obnoxious behavior. We need to begin to show up in strength, marshaled for war, and ready to curb the toddlers! Join me!

Revisiting No Neutrality – Today is a Day of Choosing, Tomorrow a Day of Action!

On 01 July 2021, I first wrote an article regarding how there are no more safe paths, no more neutral zones, no more areas of peace to rest upon. After the last 15-days, the world has witnessed this reality, and I revisit this topic to issue a plea. Today, make a choice. Tomorrow go to work implementing that choice.

In mentioning the following, I am not discussing religion but social history. The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-Day Saints holds sacred “The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of JESUS CHRIST” as holy scripture. The book contains a record of a civilization ruled by kings; then, the king proposes a society ruled by judges where their own conscience and written laws govern every person. Both systems of government worked well. The reign of the judges ends in chaos when the chief judge is murdered, and the people break up into separate tribes. That is a couple of hundred years of history boiled into a few brief words; however, the pattern holds true for several other societies not recorded in books considered holy scripture. I find the following fascinating as a template for the current time the world finds itself facing.

Why do societies fail?

Most societies fail because leaders have violated the core fundamental principles those societies were built upon. The people have lost the way to hold the leaders accountable to the fundamental principles that originally built the society. In modern societies, these principles are codified laws from founding national documents, and holding the leaders accountable would involve lawyers and judges, as well as time and other leaders committed to holding together the system to ensure those who broke the system are held liable and accountable before the law, and not a mob.

Pick an empire, Rome, Greece, Israel, Egypt, Nephite, etc., all of them suffer the same fate as they crested the height of their time and slid into failure and ruin. The leaders failed the people. The government decided they did not have to perform their only job, to look out for the safety and security of the people, and the people died, and the government fell into ruin. What have we witnessed across the globe, governments not listening to their people, refusing their people, and denying rights and liberties to their people in the name of personal power, wealth, and highly temporary fame.

Australia and New Zealand, the COVID measures are so beyond the pale horrific, and totalitarian that the government is doing more harm than the disease the government proclaims to be fighting. China has blatantly broken the treaty with Hong Kong. Nobody outside of Hong Kong appears to care enough to issue strong demands, let alone support Hong Kong’s citizenry in reclaiming that which is their right by treaty. North Korea continues to vacillate and sway to whatever music China plays in the hopes of catching scraps, as their people suffer and die from malnutrition, disease, and neglect.

Head into the Middle East, and that powder keg is going to blow again real soon. Terrorists in Afghanistan never stay in Afghanistan, and now with a pipeline to China, money, and weapons from America, and new ways and means to launder money, how soon before the Middle East becomes a free-fire zone, the European mainland becomes a terrorist free-for-all shootout to rival America’s Wild West, and Africa descends into more tyranny and villainy?

Where are the leaders of government? Where are the government representatives? Our globe has changed since 2000; the hoped-for peace from the end of the last century has turned into a blood bath of terror on a global scale fed by low-intensity conflict (LIC). Just as major international conflicts dominated the previous century, this century is being dominated by small brushfire LIC conflicts. Our modes of war must change, our governments must adapt, our societies must change, and we are 20+ years into the new century. The government still thinks this is 1995, money is free, music is 1980s good, and the future is bright and happy!

The Decisions for Today

What do you want most? What government is most important to you? Is your government system sufficiently powerful enough a motivator to propel you to action to save it and pass it along to the next generation? America has had leaders who have been quoted as saying something to the effect of, “The blood of current generations must renew the tree of liberty to remain free.” What will you sacrifice for liberty today, for your children to experience freedom tomorrow?

LIC is here to stay. LIC will be the “gentlemen’s war” of this century. Where the wealthy pool resources and purchase mayhem and destruction for their pleasure. If society does not change, all representative governments will be lost in the turmoil created by these “children having fun.” Worse, those little fracases could become full-blown international conflicts with nuclear weapons very easily — all based on the WWI model of human ineptitude and our human weakness for killing ourselves.

The decisions are yours, and yours alone to make. Collectively, your choices will move you into one of two groups, those fighting for representative government and those opposed to representative government. Truthfully, do not expect to experience peace; there are no safe paths, no routes through tulips and rainbows on gossamer wings of spun sugar plums. The enemy is awake; the enemy has prepared a legion of useful idiots and ivory potentates to give orders.

But, the decisions must be made, and the sooner the decision is made and communicated, the easier life becomes, for then you know your purpose!

The Actions for Tomorrow

Act with haste, prepare with confidence, and move with speed. Get loud! Stand like a rock! I was told standing is not an activity. The person proclaiming that has never stood still and faced down an enemy, or they would know just how arduous standing can be! Seek learning through study, discussion, questions, and faith. Seeking learning through faith means that you will actively believe until you can prove otherwise, even if it means waiting patiently for a while to learn more.

I learned this principle in the US Army. I fully did not expect to learn this lesson, but learn it I did. I believed in the chain of command. Basic Training and Advanced Individual Training did nothing to dissuade that the chain of command needed to be accepted, supported, and obeyed unquestioningly. Then I got to my first duty station and began learning my role in the chain of command as an active participant. First, I refused to believe, then I believed in faith, then I tested and learned, then I acted above and beyond my rank and got swatted down for breaking the chain of command. Always the same counsel, you are a great soldier/sailor, but you make decisions above your paygrade, and this rubs higher ranking people wrong. My response, how am I responsible for the choices and consequences of those higher in rank choosing to be offended?

Everyone is now in the same boat; the chains of command cannot be trusted. We must each think and act for ourselves for the betterment and security of our country, families, homes, freedoms, and the next generation. We must each choose to throw off the shackles of the past, learn the lessons of history not taught in school, and then act to save the best in our societies before the wolves of terrorism steal everything. We each must become the sheepdogs of war!

Respect – The Key Missing Ingredient

In Tom Clancy’s book, John Clark, “Rainbow Six” discusses the predictability of terrorists and how terrorism has rules. However, the terrorism witnessed since May 2020 is refusing the old rules, as if they were not written in the blood of dead terrorists, and the main ingredient missing is respect. Respect for the consequences, respect for death, respect for the need to have a functioning society to build your Marxist utopias in when the current government folds. Throughout history, respect has been a tool, a weapon, and entirely missing from societies at various times and seasons.

Ask yourself, what was the difference between the Hong Kong riots and the George Floyd riots? The difference is respect. Sure, both riots had stupid people who resorted to violence. Absolutely, both riots involved governments who acted in the most dysfunctional manner possible. But, the Hong Kong rioters (terrorists) never gave up respect for themselves and their cause. In contrast, their American counterparts never had respect for themselves, their cause, or their communities and just wanted to destroy things!

What is respect?

Aretha Franklin is famous for one of her songs, “R-E-S-P-E-C-T,” and all she wants is some respect for the loving she is willing to give. Yet, from the lyrics, one is left wondering if she ever got her respect from the one she loved. Aretha Franklin was reflecting to the world that love is not everything needed in a relationship, Sorry Beatles, and must be accompanied by respect!

Webster clarifies respect, claiming that respect involves providing special attention to, or regard for, another person or thing. However, that definition does not encapsulate the essence of respect. Other descriptions for respect include higher regard or esteem for something or someone. Finally, we have suggestions that esteem and special consideration for someone or something are needed to fulfill the requirements to provide proper respect. Thus, one must return to the etymology of the word respect to gain further insight.

Respect was originally used between 1300 and 1350, derived as a middle English Noun, from Old French, or directly from Latin Respectus, “action of looking back, consideration, and regard.” Therein lies the key quality in respect, action, and history. Proper respect is shown when history is considered, and action is taken to regard that history. Taking us back to the terrorists in Tom Clancy’s book “Rainbow Six.” By not properly regarding the lessons learned by previous dead terrorists, respect was lacking, and the terrorist’s mission was a failure before they boarded the plane.

Action

When discussing action in respect, we refer to deeds or the process of taking action to understand the deed mentally before physically moving. Consider the rioters in Hong Kong; they knew that by taking action, they ran the risk of death, had to come to terms with receiving physical violence of state enforcers, and had to respect the violence potential, and felt compelled to act. Whereas, in America, there was no respect for activities done by state enforcers in previous riot situations, as the state enforcers have been shackled and hamstrung by laws to protect the terrorist rioter’s rights and liberties.

Which party reflected proper respect; honestly, both did. Why; because they both knew the potential and showed the government’s problems in their respective societies. This is where America has been since the Los Angeles, California (1992) riots. Law and order are actively shunned due to both disrespect for law and society and respect for the knowledge that police are hamstrung and neutered in response to large-scale public rioting (terrorism). Why did Ferguson, Missouri last as long as it did; a lack of respect for the individual and respect for the knowledge that the rioters (terrorists) could do anything they wanted and escape without responsibility. Follow the pattern in riots since 1992, and you will find disrespect for actions taken being the sole variable in the equation linking all the riots together.

History

History and respect remain intertwined to the point that if a person does not understand their own history, they will not respect themselves, their cause, or even their society. Again, using Hong Kong and America as examples, we see the history of Hong Kong respected by the protestors. Hong Kong has always been a separate entity, never a “Chinese” possession. Always separate from the mainland physically, mentally, emotionally, and governmentally. China promised that if Britain gave China to the Chinese, Hong Kong could retain its liberty, individualism, and separate status. Guess how long that lasted, not even long enough for the ink to dry on the treaty documents.

China is in direct violation of the treaty documents where Hong Kong is concerned, but China does not care. Why; disrespect for the west, the United Kingdom, and the people that make societies and cultures. Why is China able to disrespect the treaty on Hong Kong? They do not recognize the history of Hong Kong, they pervert history to their purposes, and Chinese government leaders disrespect themselves, like all good communists. Hence, we can see a direct result of what happens when a nation disrespects its own history.

But, does America understand the lesson being taught by the riots in Hong Kong; nope! Not only did America’s rioters (terrorists) tear down visible reminders of history, they refuse to learn history as an active rebellion, considering history to be useless. Thus, the ignorance of the terrorists is their Achilles’ heel and how to beat them forever at their own game.

Suggestions for winning the moral high-ground back!

The following are suggestions for launching a legal counter-attack to the stupidity and disrespect of those who continue to disrespect America.

1. 1. Learn history! Not the rants from school, not the lies and the tortured history from K—12, I mean real history. Sourced from multiple sources where research was conducted and then supported by published references. History is amazing; take the learning plunge!
  2. Respect yourself! You are unique, special, and deserve a society free from terrorism and terrorists masquerading as “peaceful rioters.” A community free from terrorism starts with respecting yourself.
  3. Respect your actions by knowing why you are taking the actions being taken. Some of the summer of peaceful rioting videos included a black person stomping (jumping up and down) on another black person in support of George Floyd. It made no sense then; it makes less sense now.
  4. Respect your community. Respecting your community includes voting, staying interested in how the elected official is doing, and raising your voices legally to correct the behavior of wayward politicians. Respect for your community does not include burning businesses to the ground, looting, or smashing public property.
  5. Even when you disagree with authority, respect that authority enough to handle your concerns appropriately.

NO MORE BS: Caution! Dangerous Waters Ahead!

Bird of Prey Two events this week present a need for lovers of freedom to be very aware of what is happening in the halls of the capitols of America. In the first event, we passed the ignominious first anniversary of the death of a criminal. The second is the continued stress and strain to maximize what has been dubbed “The Capitol Riot.” In both events, we see plastic words thrown about like seeds ready for planting, and we see how the media continues to fan flames of Trump Derangement Syndrome to the dismay and disaffection of all.

Frankly, I detest being reminded of George Floyd; I have had my fill of the riots, the terrorism, the media, the politics, and the defamation of the police over this incident. Hero or criminal Derek Chauvin and his family have been sundered by overzealous media reporters. Hero or criminal George Floyd and the arrest have been so twisted, manipulated, and politicized that the truth has become the only real casualty in this entire debacle. Several facts remain, stuck like gum on the underside of a school desk.

1. 1. George Floyd had a heart condition. The severity remains wrapped in medical and legal jargon so deep it would take an army of doctors and lawyers to decipher.
  2. George Floyd had several different drugs in his system when he died, including Fentanyl. In case you have been living under a rock, Fentanyl is a powerful opioid that carries the following warning, “High risk for addiction and dependence. Can cause respiratory distress and death when taken in high doses or when combined with other substances, especially alcohol.”

Is that warning pretty clear? Mixing Fentanyl with any other drug runs the risk of exasperating current health conditions, such as a heart condition. Mixing Fentanyl into a drug cocktail runs the risk of a multi-drug intoxication, and as the VA has proved, multi-drug intoxication can take harmless drugs and vitamins and kill! Fentanyl and Methamphetamines were found in George Floyd’s blood during the autopsy, producing the probability of a multi-drug intoxication. Between the politics, the terrorists masquerading under the media’s protection as peaceful protestors, and the chutzpah of the judge, Derek Chauvin, and his family have been ostracized and attacked mercilessly. George Floyd passed counterfeit money, had illegal drugs in his system, had a heart condition that he might or might not have been aware of, and the stress of fighting police killed George Floyd. Dont Tread On Me

The fact that the media refuses to name any of these facts announces in terms unrepentant how biased and deadly the media considers themselves to be. The press continues to spout lies. Every time the media opens its collective mouth, the disregard for their heritage and position in this Free Republic is shunned and denied for personal gain! The media deserves to be held complicit in lighting the fires of terrorism that so many cities have suffered. Justice needs to be served cold and raw to the corporate media!

1. 1. 1. Toxicity levels of Fentanyl depend upon body mass, amounts taken, other drugs or alcohol present, and when those drugs were consumed. The experts vociferously disagree on the toxicity levels in George Floyd’s body at the time of death. Everything discussed in court regarding toxicity levels is hyperbole and a personal opinion from paid professional witnesses. Do not allow the details to mask the facts, or the media will lead you around by the nose!
    2. As discussed previously, the holds the police chose were legal and acceptable until the corporate media went ballistic and needed an excuse to blame the police for the death of a man passing counterfeit money and using illicit drugs. Who when approached by police for questioning, began to fight the police. How can a person conclude that Fentanyl was illegal? Not a single doctor has come forward claiming they prescribed the Fentanyl for a medical condition. How and where did George Floyd obtain the Fentanyl?

So, celebrate George Floyd if you choose. That is your decision. I support your decision to make your own choices, and may you enjoy the consequences as you prefer. But, I weep for Derek Chauvin, who became a political sacrifice for the rabid media and politicians who needed a scapegoat. Should George Floyd be alive today and standing trial for passing counterfeit money and possessing illegal drugs: yes, except he chose to fight the police. George Floyd chose to place dangerous drugs in his system. George Floyd did not care about his health before engaging with the police in combat; why should I care about George Floyd’s death?

Knowledge Check! My concerns are for the living, the innocent, and those left to clean up this mess, which has been exploited by, and exasperated by both politicians and the media to the Nth degree. I am not indifferent to the suffering of George Floyd’s family, but wasn’t his family already suffering from his choices? For the record, I am sorry he is dead; yet his death does not, in any way, shape, or form, justify the damage and terrorism that the United States has witnessed in his name! I am sorry George Floyd died while in police custody, but his choices came with consequences. Unfortunately, those consequences have now included so many others; the damage is beyond count.

Why is the George Floyd case so dangerous?

The media has taken a deplorable incident and turned it into a terrorist-feeding frenzy, where justice is robbed, mercy is denied, and innocent victims are destroyed mercilessly as “collateral damage.” Private property destroyed! Public property and businesses put to the torch—employees beaten to satisfy the appetite of the terrorists, all for the media to revel and parade. Consider this pattern, for it has been being developed over incident after incident until it is a money-spinning machine. Play the race card, use the continuously aggrieved populations in society to whip up emotions, and turn them loose for the cameras. Then report how the problems are always someone else’s fault, and how more money needs poured into social programs, then lie and half-truth through every event to keep the machine spinning money! Plato 3

Ask the media, when will they be reporting on the criminals who looted stores before burning them to the ground? Will these criminals get the same 24/7 media-feeding frenzy and biased judge and jury? Will the employee victims ever see compensation and justice?

The Capitol Riot

In making the following statements, I am not in any way denigrating the losses on 9/11; nor, am I belittling the actual loss of life during the Capitol Charade being called a “Riot.” Any time lives are lost, there should be repercussions for those taking lives, investigations, and all the facts revealed. However, any lawmaker who attempts to equalize the 9/11 terrorist attacks with a staged riot on the Capitol is denigrating, deriding, and insulting the memories of lives lost! Unfortunately, the politicians are trying to make political hay on the Capitol Riot, making me sick!

Plato 2 I watched the capitol disturbance live and in color. I have seen the video footage of law officers guiding people into the proper rooms. I have witnessed the debacle from end to end. While I am not an expert, the entire episode reminds me of Kabuki Theater, not a spontaneous attack on the Capitol. While I decry the damage done, I think those attempting to steal were idiots. I fully support law and order conducting a full investigation, including where the buses came from and who bankrolled the Kabuki Theater being passed off as the Capitol Riot.

Yet, let us be clear, from the day of the Capitol Kabuki farrago to today, the politicians have continued to attempt to steal liberty and freedom, using the pattern established from 9/11 and the excuse of safety for the politicians. Let me remind you, you serve the people; since you have chosen to live like feudal lords over the serfs, you have broken the promise and oath of your office, and you and your staff need to be fired from public service!

Knowledge Check! The Patriot Act has been the single most freedom-sucking bureaucratic life support measure, only surpassed by ObamaCare in my lifetime, coming in third to the United Nations debacle! Enough is enough! Hiding behind police officers while destroying America is not appreciated by those who live here, and politicians need to be held accountable with their staff. Continue to make excuses, hide, and refuse to represent us, and the ballot box is waiting! The media is like a snake, soon they will bite you, and I hope they bite hard; think Nagini and Mr. Weasley from the fifth Harry Potter book.

NO MORE BS: LIC – Low-Intensity Conflict – Explained and Expounded

Dont Tread On Me Between 2012 and 2014, I wrote the first article on Low-Intensity Conflict (LIC). Somehow this article has been lost in my changing blogs and computers. Hence, what follows is an in-depth look at LIC. Please note, several authors have significantly contributed to my understanding of LIC, but none so much as Lt. Colonel Alan J. Tinder, who wrote a paper for the Air War College in 1990, titled: “Low-Intensity Conflict.” From the Colonel, I have learned much and benchmarked this principle to more thoroughly understand LIC, how to recognize LIC, and how to detail LIC for others. The other compelling source is L. C. Green’s paper on “Low-Intensity Conflict and the Law.” My aim here is to synthesize this information into a manageable topic and aid understanding. LIC 2

Too often in America, we do not recognize LIC. When the Verizon Labor Unions had to be legally restrained from committing LIC against Verizon, the judge seemed to want to call the acts of violence nothing but poor decisions by some people. Yet, the labor union had begun a tactic of pressuring Verizon by destroying property, scare tactics for third-party contractors, and causing mayhem to obtain their demands. Hence, the labor union committed LIC and got away with it, no punishment, no accountability, no responsibility. Never forget, “Barely three percent of violent crimes committed by union members lead to an arrest or conviction. … Most victims of union violence are unemployed workers looking for a job [to] feed their families. “Scabs,” they call them. Subhuman scum. Untouchables. People who, in the minds of unionists and their enablers, are worthy of the same kind of vile abuse that Klu Klux Klansman used to dish out to African Americans that didn’t know their place.” LIC

What is LIC?

Low-Intensity Conflict (LIC) is the official name for what happens when individuals or governments hire intermediaries to conduct violent operations from a position of security. LIC is a misnomer; those who have become victims of the barbaric cruelty of those practicing LIC find nothing “Low” about the experience. The conflict is intense, the actions brutal, and the practitioners remain cunning adversaries using and employing willing dupes to hide the true depths of moral decay inherent in the societal destructions and deprivations the practitioners are enacting. Many confuse LIC in describing the actions of unbridled violence committed by ideologues under the banner of terrorism. The US Military Joint Chiefs of Staff define LIC as:

“A limited political-military struggle to achieve political, social, economic, or psychological objectives. It is often protracted and ranges from diplomatic, economic, and psychological pressures through terrorism and insurgency. Low-intensity conflict is generally confined to a geographic area and is often characterized by constraints on the weaponry, tactics, and levels of violence (Tinder 1990) [emphasis mine].”

Green (1997) adds a key ingredient to the description of LIC from Tinder (1990).

“… Non-international conflict itself is a refined term for what [was] formerly known as revolutions or civil wars, particularly when these have developed into major operations with the likelihood or reality of atrocities being committed against non-combatants. Whether civilians or those [rendered] hors de combat, a fact that is often more common in non-international … conflicts, especially when ideological, ethnic, or religious differences are in issue. It is for this reason that it must be borne in mind that the term low-intensity [conflict] has no relation to the severity or violence of the conflict” [emphasis mine].

Some will proclaim loudly, primarily due to affiliation with or money donated from deep-pocketed entities, that LIC is only limited to those more commonly perceived as terrorists, i.e., car bombers, hijackers, etc.; however, paid rioters, looters, and those termed by the media as “violent protesters,” are practicing LIC. Worse, labor unions have been getting away with LIC since 1892 and the Homestead Strike. As a point of fact, K-12 educators will only teach the labor union’s side of the story during the Industrial Revolution, leaving out the capitalists providing jobs, businesses that did not need, or want, government intrusion, and the continued depravity the labor unions continually inflict upon America. Just for the record, in 1991 alone, 4400 acts of violence were committed by labor unions. Apathy

Consider this for a moment, Americans generally despise violence for economic gains; but, due to LIC in K-12 education, the labor unions get special treatment before the law on committing violence. Imagine for a moment how ugly the media would scream if the KKK dropped nails, broke glass, destroyed property without regard to a minority-owned business. Oh, wait a minute; we know what the media would do, nothing! See, when politically correct rage occurs, even when it is a minority on minority, the press closes their mouths or pitches in! The world saw this in Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Atlanta, Florida, and so many other riots, politely termed “peaceful protests” by the media!

LIC and the Law

I am not a lawyer, and the following is not legal advice. LIC being punishable under a military court is founded in the Civil War, and President Lincoln desired to regulate the behavior of Union troops and show proper deferment to enemy troops. While this legal precedent goes further back, the legal precedent begins with President Lincoln in the US. Controlling troops’ behavior led to the Genocide Convention of 1948, where genocide was created. A legal standard was set for controlling and describing proper behavior during a conflict and enforceable by third parties. Hence the reason why, and for, international courts to bring charges against countries and leaders of countries who commit genocide. Unfortunately, even with the United Nations “maintaining neutrality,” enforcement of genocide continues to be problematic. The Duty of Americans

However, the point is clear, commit acts of LIC, and you do not face a civilian court and judge; you face a military tribunal. The legal precedent for handling LIC by military tribunal further clarifies that those violent protesters and labor union members using LIC to commit acts of violence are deserving of the label, domestic terrorist. As a terrorist, those using LIC, including those paying for LIC, lose their US Constitutional Rights, face a military tribunal, and held without Habeas Corpus. Terrorists do not deserve and have rejected their US Constitutional Rights upon paying for or committing violent LIC actions. According to the legal dictionary, Habeas Corpus “is a writ requiring a person under arrest to be brought before a judge or into court, especially to secure the person’s release unless lawful grounds are shown for their detention.” If US Troops must follow the Geneva Convention during peace and war, then those paying for or committing LIC are also bound, especially by Article 3:

“… Each Party to the conflict shall be bound to apply, as a minimum … [to] persons taking no part in the hostilities, including members of armed forces who have laid down their arms and those placed hors de combat by sickness, wounds, detention, or any other cause [certain minimum rights to ensure that they] shall in all circumstances be treated humanely, without any adverse distinction founded on race, color, religion or faith, sex, birth or wealth, or any other similar criteria.”

Since those involved in LIC are terrorists and like criminals, they do not adhere to the law. The international community should be exerting pressure to capture, hold, and try the individuals involved in LIC anywhere in the world. For example, Cuba is currently holding a leader of BLM, an internal terrorist organization with roots in Marxism-Leninism. Other people have found safe haven in the international community and need to answer for their criminal and terrorist activities. However, since the American government refuses to label paid agitators as the internal terrorists they are, the criminal justice system will continue to be violated. Those guilty of LIC are allowed to continue their licentious ways to the detriment of America. Patriotism

Labor unions hide behind the lawyers and the criminal justice system to game and play LIC against everyone they consider an enemy. ANTIFA, BLM, and every other paid agitator group in America burning, looting, rioting, and “protesting” need to be labeled what they are, terrorists. Their actions need to be classified correctly as acts of terrorism. A military tribunal called to investigate funding sources and hold accountable those paying and those committing terrorist violence in America. There is no difference between a terrorist in the IRA, a terrorist in Afghanistan, and a “protestor” terrorist in Portland, Oregon. America, we need to understand LIC, and then we need to apply legal precedence to fix the situation America currently finds herself in!

NO MORE BS: 30 April – National Day of Fasting

Since this article is being published after 30 April 2021, some people will presume that the day had passed unremarked, uncelebrated, or would dismiss the power of fasting as a religious thing. How very wrong these people would be, but I am not here for them. I write this article to encourage placing this day on your calendar as an annual event, like birthdays, holidays, or an important anniversary.

One of the few times the Senate under President Abraham Lincoln voted unanimously was on this resolution, introduced by Senator James Harlan of Iowa. Adopted on 03 March and signed under President Lincoln’s hand on 30 March 1863. The resolution came because the president of the United States needed a higher power. He had reached the end of his knowledge, skills, and abilities and turned to a power greater than himself for guidance and direction. I own several books on President Lincoln. The depression, despair, and grief of the lives lost and shattered on both sides of the Civil War had worn this president down physically, mentally, spiritually. He couldn’t sleep, could hardly be imposed upon to eat, and his closest advisors were worried about the president’s health.

Consider a time in your life when you have had substantial responsibilities, and everything you have tried has either failed miserably or made things worse. That was the position President Lincoln was in when he proposed a National Day of Fasting and Prayer. President Lincoln knew he was out of his depth; he had a contentious House and Senate. He had a war raging where people and material cost the nation more than money and resources, and he needed a solution. President Lincoln needed a checkmate, not just any solution, a game-changing solution that only the powers of heaven could provide. What inspires me, President Lincoln knew where he could turn for answers because of his previous experiences. Therein lay the lesson and reason for a National Day of Fasting and Prayer.

President Lincoln’s time in office also reveals a pattern as described by Richard G. Scott.

“The tragic pattern is so familiar. It begins with curiosity fueled by stimulation and is justified by a false premise that there is no harm to anyone when done in privacy when done in privacy. For those captured by this lie, experimentation becomes powerful stimulations until the trap closes and a terribly immoral, addictive habit exercises vicious control.”

The Confederacy got into the problems they had through experimentation with human bondage. The sin of slavery was stimulated through prosperity and ease of work until slavery had infected every single colony and state in the Union, and a rebellion broke out over a State’s Right to continue enslaving people. The repentance process took an entire country, millions of lives, millions of dollars, and generations of heartache and stolen potential. Is it any wonder that the Civil War would require the best of everything that could be invented to finally get every person in America dedicated to ending the slave trades and human enslavement?

Every day we hear another politician or left-wing snowflake cry something is “racist.” Yet, America has proved time and time again; we learned the Civil War lessons, we stand against human enslavement and bondage of any kind. And yet, still, the cry is heard; still, the problems exist.

America is the number one country for modern slavery, called sex trafficking, human trafficking, and forced indentured servitude. We have people disappearing and then reappearing either as a body in a ditch or as victims of sex crimes and slavery. Why is a National Day of Fasting and Prayer still needed; so, we may learn the modern lessons of the Civil War and ask for, and qualify for, the help of heaven to rid America of these heinous crimes.

What other lessons can we learn from the Civil War and President Lincoln; let us start with the problems of gangs and internal terrorism. The Southern Confederacy began as internal terrorism. Don’t believe me; the Confederacy was not a recognized nation when Brigadier General Beauregard and his troops attacked Fort Sumter. Hence, a gang militarized attacked a military installation and won. Thus, launching the Civil War.

We hear of drug cartels along the Southern Border hiding in National Parks, growing drugs for the American illicit drug markets. This is an act of war by terrorists, but the politicians will not send troops to fight this war and protect our boundaries. Maybe, we do need the help of heaven to change the direction of America’s politicians.

We hear of shots fired across the border by gangs, drug cartels, and other modern-day terrorists. Yet even though this is an act of war, the military is politically hindered in acting, innocent people die, and the politicians do nothing. Maybe we do need the help of a power greater than ourselves to aid in ridding America of our enemies “Foreign and Domestic.”

Daily, America suffers from gang violence from ANTIFA, BLM, MS-13, The Bloods, The Crips, and so many others committing acts of violence, destruction of private and public property, taunting the police, and banding together to gain political power. Maybe, just maybe, America could use a LOT more heavenly help curb the violence and end the internal strife caused by, encouraged from, and paid for through people seeking political power (LIC).

The problem with LIC (Low-Intensity Conflict) is that eventually, the violence gets out of control, and wars begin! We have celebrities in Hollywood, and other wealthy people are investing in the violence these gangs are perpetuating. Our current sitting president donated funds to these groups while a candidate. By practicing LIC, all of America suffers and hangs in the balance between anarchy and civilization. Of course, we need power greater than ourselves to help curb the violence!

Without a greater power to aid in support of America, America will fall. America has always been a “Heaven blest land.” So, while only America has a National Day of Fasting and Prayer, I would suggest all democratically elected countries have a similar day. The world needs help only heavenly powers can provide. I do not care about your religious flavor of belief, including unbelief; joining in a National Day of Fasting and Prayer is about coming together, unifying, and committing to upholding the principles of a free society, embracing liberty for all, and decreasing tyranny from the few! Please, mark your calendars now, and join the next National Day of Fasting and Prayer, 30 April 2022!

NO MORE BS: Weaponized Government

Gavel With the final gavel swing on President Trump’s acquittal, in a trial to impeach a private citizen, in which he did not commit the crimes accused. Legally there was no case from the beginning, as there was no “Riot in DC.” I saw videos of police welcoming “Rioters” to the capitol building. I have seen the results of other riots, live and in-person; what happened in DC was not a riot! Leaving me to wonder at just how narrowly we escaped the theatrics of the liberal leftists. The videos I saw showed police and capital guards showing people where to go. But the DC “Riot Theatrics” does provide the American people and the world a cautionary tale. The bureaucrats, liberal leftists, militant leftists, and the media have cooked up methods, and means, to attack anyone they desire, and this should scare the living hell out of everyone!

Theres more Extremists need an enemy, need financing, and require a safe location to thrive, plan, and recover. The same is true for terrorists. Comparing extremists to terrorists is not hyperbole or shockvertising; they are one and the same. Extremists are political animals; terrorists are political animals. Extremists use violence and fear to achieve victory; terrorists use fear and violence to achieve victory. There is no fundamental difference between an extremist or a terrorist, and the faster we recognize this fact, the easier it will be to fight this enemy within. One final note, extremists and terrorists will use the law against law-abiding people to thrive upon a society’s goodness and mercy until that society is broken and destroyed. Democratic societies worldwide have always possessed an enemy within but called them “extremists’” instead of “terrorists” to appease the citizenry.

The actions of the US House of Representatives majority leadership, and the US Senate’s majority leadership, coupled with the craven and yellow-spine efforts of the minority leadership in the Senate and House, declare with a single voice, “I am incompetent, but I am free from any accountability and responsibility.” On the legal basis of impeaching a private citizen, I will leave this to the legal scholars, judges, and legal think tanks. On the charge of weaponizing the government against private citizens, I will declare, “Cease and Desist Forthwith!”

What is weaponized government?

Weaponized government uses the powers of government to afflict, torment, or injure individuals with whom you disagree politically. President Clinton used Hillary as a tool to weaponize the government and shut down dissenters, rape victims, and sexual abuse allegations while Bill was in office. The media reporting on these facts is available; feel free to dig and cringe. Weaponizing government very inefficiently, but still effective enough to enrich themselves, destroy people, and enjoy the theatrics. President Obama used President Clinton’s example of weaponizing government, then raised it to a science in tactical strategy for political machinations, how to weaponize the government more effectively. In fact, the only compliment I have for President Obama was his proficiency in weaponizing government and using government strings to lynch the American Citizen every chance he could.

Examples of Weaponized Government.

Detective 4 Does everyone still remember the IRS Debacle, Lois Lerner, and the scandal inflicted upon applicants for 501 (C) various tax-exempt statuses through the IRS? Does anyone remember that this very public debacle was made political and was never completed, finished, or rooted out of the IRS? Just a reminder as tax time begins. Supposedly in a politically neutral manner, the government agency tasked with collecting taxes is bereft of honesty, integrity and has the highest number of government workers who do not pay their taxes. But the donation filings for political races consistently record the IRS employees donating more to Democrats by large margins than to any other political party or cause. Draw your own conclusions about where the IRS Employee’s or any government employee’s loyalty resides.

Long have I recorded government weaponization and how the Department of Veterans Affairs abuses patients based upon political leanings or merely because they want to abuse someone. I have personally witnessed patients with similar complaints, wearing nothing but different politically-themed clothing, receiving 180-degree different treatment types at VA doctors’ hands. I have witnessed VA employees choose based upon patients’ likes and dislikes, who get better care, faster care, or more professional care. After almost a year of discrimination due to my inability to wear a mask, I think I can claim my experience as an excellent example of how the VA is weaponized against the people they are duty-bound to serve.

Whistle-Blowers

Whistle-blowers are people who tell the dirty secrets of the executive branch in an effort to stop the crimes committed by bureaucrats or employees of the government. However, whistle-blowing and the stories related never capture the full scope of the problems in a government agency or how many other victims there are of abuse from the weaponized government. To have whistle-blower protections, the whistle-blower must still be an employee to have protection. More importantly, the employee cannot be probationary, as probationary employees do not have the same privileges and protections as non-probationary employees. Suppose the agency is able to remove you from employment. In that case, you can tell all the stories you like and never be a whistle-blower, taken seriously, or even allowed to have legal protection for your rights as a citizen witnessing the abuse of government.

Next, weaponizers of government know the law and use the law to enact their reigns of terror. In this case, the law includes the policies, procedures, and people in authority in a government agency. Hence, the moment anyone tries to tell a story about abuse or the weaponization of government, they are ostracized, attacked, and the processes begin to torment and harass the accuser, e.g., the whistle-blower. Watching the whistle-blower experience their personal life being investigated, the torment, harassment, and other punishments is a significant deterrent for everyone else who knows of problems and abuses from ever stepping forward.

VA Seal A specific and personal example; I regularly witnessed EMTALA and HIPAA crimes in the VA Emergency Department at the Raymond G. Murphy VA Medical Center. I routinely saw patients abused, frequently watched nurses and doctors be unprofessional, and these problems were common knowledge all over the hospital. I reported the issues verbally, by email, by written letter, and never received any help in correcting the problems. I was a 365-day probationary employee, where my director came off leave to ensure my employment would not survive to see day 366 and my probationary employment conclude successfully. When I discussed these problems with my elected representatives, my emails, letters, and voice conversations were conveniently missing, denied, and my reputation slandered. I still have copies of some of my emails on these topics, and I blog a record of the treatment in the hopes that one day, changes can be made, the record cleaned up, and the criminal treatment of veterans ended forever!

Until such time as the government size is dramatically reduced, the bureaucrats are culled, and the criminals held liable, every person should be wary, cautious, and concerned about being mistreated by the hands of their government. I am not fearmongering; I am calling people to action! The government is not your friend, not your buddy, and not interested in your concerns. The government, including elected officials, NGOs, think tanks, employees, etc., are all willing to abuse, harass, deter, rob, thwart, and hinder you as an individual.

Being aware, conscious, and competent, you are the population the tyrannical government fears. Through this irrational fear, the tyrant will seek to injure first, ask questions never. Thus, we can expect greater punishment, harassment, issues, and problems where our lives cross the government until we can eradicate the problem and end the tyranny. Our weapon is to watch and report, declare and deride, and gain knowledge and experience. We must act locally to get to the true tyrannical roots, or this problem will just keep coming back!

The US Constitution – Understanding the Paradigm

Since February 2020, to date America, and the world has witnessed the cruel and unyielding hand of mobocracy practiced. Mobocracy is the rule of the mob transformed into governance. Consider the actions of several city councils and state legislatures where defunding the police has become the hottest political topic. The mob screams for changes to the law, politicians pander, politicians pay “Dane-Geld,” and the laws change to satisfy the appetites of the mob. Thus, mobocracy is being practiced.

To everyone who reads this post, I will without doubt or fear maintain that the actions of the politicians to allow mobocracy in America, state for the record that, “You are committing an illegal act; must be held accountable before the bar of justice for your heinous crimes!” Make no mistake, the actions of politicians to appease the mob, to rule through mobocracy, and to thwart the will of the governed to the masses of screaming mobsters is treason, the calumny of the blackest sort, and a rejection of your oath of office rendering you and your authority moot!

Beginning with the US Constitution’s Preamble, a person will find why the government was instituted. “… in order to form a more perfect Union (government), establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.” The politicians who have sworn an oath to uphold the US Constitution who deny these statements are already guilty of treason and breach of office. Domestic tranquility cannot be achieved through the rule of the mob. Domestic tranquility cannot magically appear, it must be built through law and order, through justice and mercy before the bar of justice, and must be fought for when tyranny rears its ugly head. The general welfare of the population can only be established by obedience to the just laws of the society to which a person belongs. Defunding the police tramples the welfare of society, domestic tranquility, and calls for the defense of the rule of law by every freedom-loving person in that society.

Article 1 Section 1: Established for every government in America the separation of powers, where legislation is equally shared between a house of representatives and a senate, who must work together in their separate but equal duties to fulfill the actions dictated in the preamble. Sections 2 and 3 establish the finer points regarding the house of representatives, the senate, the powers of the executive branch in filling vacancies and establishing the terms of office.

Article 1 Sections 4-8: Establish taxes, the military forces, the day of elections, when a term begins for an elected officer to the Congress and other details of government. Nowhere in these articles does it allow for one branch to dominate another branch. Nowhere in these articles does it allow for the senate of the house of representatives to do the others job. Each establishment of government has a specific job to perform, and those politicians who refuse to do their job are in fact breaching their oaths of office.

Consider the actions of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Nowhere in the US Constitution is she allowed to meddle in world politics, write letters to foreign governments, or pass legislation that has not been read. Yet, all these and more are regularly being done, instead of doing her job as outlined in the preamble, to the improvement of the American people, she is duly sworn to support. Her failure to represent all her district is the most egregious example because she is also third in line for the President, she has been re-elected so many times, and is the speaker of the US House of Representatives. Thus, not only does she speak for her district, but she also represents all the US House of Representatives, of all parties.

Root Cause Analysis One of the clearest lessons discovered in life is that of genetic behavior, usually to the shame of the person witnessing their behavior being acted upon by others. We pass behavior onto our children, our acquaintances, and our circles of influence. The problem with genetic behavior is that of exponentialism or the exponential growth between generations. Research supports that cheating behavior in high school is found in cheating an employer later in life. Research also relates that those witnessing the cheating behavior will then steal. The third generation of people the behavior is passed onto will steal bigger items, cheat more, and commit more crimes. The cycle just keeps building until the criminal justice system is full of hard crimes committed.

In the political realm, we see the same exponential growth of behavior. Speaker Pelosi is witnessed by her party, who then act as she does, and commits larger or worse actions than the Speaker. If you look at those termed “The Squad,” the representatives are by far worse than Speaker Pelosi, but they learned how to be detestable to freedom-loving peoples from the Speaker, and the second-generation politicians that surround Speaker Pelosi. Want another example, look at any recent (2000 to present) presidential election and you will still find traces of previous President Clinton in the candidates of both parties. Consider Mitt Romney’s candidacy, he is very Bill Clinton in his politics and speech mannerisms, which remains the main reason he failed as a candidate for president.

Grit - Defined Thus, freedom-loving people, who support justice, desire domestic tranquility, seek to provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and well-being of others, and work tirelessly to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, witness these politicians and want them removed, and held accountable for their crimes. Not to punish without cause, but to support the common good in America. The reason we have courts, lawyers, judges, etc. is to separate the crimes committed from the criminal committing. This is the epitome of the word justice. The US Criminal Justice System is imperfect, without doubt, but it remains the best system the world has ever seen and deserves support from law-abiding and freedom-loving people.

Article 1 Section 9: Deals with two legal precedents that have been much maligned and abused. Immigration and the Writ of Habeas Corpus. Immigration is a topic for a different post. However, the Writ of Habeas Corpus is crucial to this discussion. Simply stated Habeas Corpus is, “… The legal procedure that keeps the government from holding you indefinitely without showing cause. When you challenge your detention by filing a habeas corpus petition, the executive branch must explain to a neutral judge its justification for holding you.” The Writ of Habeas Corpus can be suspended, and American History including recent history has provided examples of when and why habeas corpus has been denied, suspended, or revoked. The riots and acts of domestic terrorism are a clear example as to why the Writ of Habeas Corpus can be and should be suspended. Rebellion and the breach of public safety are two separate excuses for denying habeas corpus and rioters and terrorists deserve to have habeas corpus suspended.

Finest Hour Make no mistake, I am not advocating for the refusal of these people to have their day in court, before an impartial judge, to be sentenced for their crimes, and held accountable before the bar of justice. I am advocating that until their trials can be arranged, they deserve to be held in prison awaiting the slow turning of the wheels of justice. When you break the peace of society, you give up your rights and liberties; thus, these mob members deserve to be held and witness their rights to habeas corpus rescinded.

Article 1 Section 10: Has several items that pertain to the illegality of state governors during the current COVID-19 health crisis, reflecting that these governors do not know the law, and are in breach of their oaths of office. When the governor of New Mexico made a law stating that all the citizens of Arizona must be quarantined, interrupting the free flow of commerce from state-to-state, the governor forfeited her authority for political points, and the US Congress should have been demanding corrective behavior. Yet, not a peep has been witnessed.

The Duty of Americans COVID-19 does not represent a sufficient “imminent danger” to refuse or interfere with commerce passing between states. The “public health measures” enacted by the various state governors are a travesty of justice, unconstitutional, interferes with the rights and liberties of the people, and damaging the commerce and economy of the United States. Where are the politicians at the Federal Level to correct these abuses?

Articles 2 and 3: establish the executive and judicial branches of American governance. These articles remain critical to freedom-loving people as the articles clearly dictate terms in office, how to perform their duties, and establishes the various courts in the judicial system. The jury trial is set forth without restriction and remains a key component in all trials. Section 3 of Article 3 contains two items of note. Item 1 defines treason narrowly and specifically; item 2 discusses the penalty of treason. “Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them (the United States), or in adhering to their enemies (following an enemy’s directions), giving them aid and comfort (monetary means, housing, food, or other transferable goods).”

Patriotism A legal dictionary provides a slightly broader definition of treason, “The offense of attempting by overt [or covert] acts to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance or to kill or personally injure the sovereign or the sovereign’s family. The betrayal of a trust: treachery.” Therein lies the justification for labeling the actions of politicians who breach the public trust with treason, the politician who breaks their oath of office to support and defend the US Constitution is committing treason.

Articles 5-7: Deal with how the US Constitution can be amended, national debt, the supremacy of the US Constitution in America, oaths of office, and ratification of the US Constitution. With these final words, the US Constitution closed, “Done in convention by the unanimous consent of the States present the Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty-seven and of the Independence of the United States of America the Twelfth In witness whereof we have hereunto subscribed our Names.”

Military Crests Every member of the US Military swears an eternal commitment to upholding this document, to securing the rights and laws of the United States as prescribed therein, and to follow the orders of the commander in chief before God. I have had the privilege of taking that oath six times in my life.

The Oath of Enlistment: “I, [State your full legal name], do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So, help me, God.”

I will not allow the US Constitution to be thrown down and mobocracy, meritocracy, democracy, communism, socialism, or any other form of government to supersede the US Constitution. To those politicians working hand-in-hand with the mobs and others for the destruction of America, you are committing treason and will one day answer for your crimes before the bar of justice.

During my military service, I read a quote, applicable to the relationship between politicians working to destroy America and freedom lovers who support the US Constitution “No truer friend; no fiercer enemy!” No truer friend can be found than I in the support of the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights. No fiercer enemy can be found than I to those working to suppress the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights; “So, help me, God!”.

In Defense of the Rule of Law – Restoring “… Liberty and Justice for All”

This letter is pertinent to every American citizen as well as those currently holding public office and those seeking to become politicians. Politics has always been an American passion; we talk politics at work with co-workers, across the fence with neighbors, around the kitchen table with family and trusted friends, and almost everywhere else without exception…including public restrooms. Yes, Americans even discuss politics in public restrooms. Conversations overheard and notes written on walls provide plenty of evidence. This is apt; much of the political theater currently thrust into America’s attention is fit only for flushing.

President Lincoln is quoted thus: “Let every American, every lover of Liberty, every well wisher to his posterity, swear by the blood of the Revolution, never to violate in the least particular, the laws of the country; and never to tolerate their abuse by others. As the Patriots of seventy-six did to the support of the Declaration of Independence, so to the support of the Constitution and Laws, let every American pledge his life, his property, and his sacred honor; let every man remember that to violate the law, is to trample on the blood of his father, and to tear [down] the character of his own, and his children’s liberty. Let reverence for the [Constitutional] laws [of America]… become the political religion of the nation.”

President Lincoln continued on to proclaim, “When I so pressingly urge a strict observance of all the laws, let me not be understood as saying there are no bad laws, nor that grievances may not arise, for the redress of which, no legal provisions have been made, I mean to say no such thing. But I do mean to say, that, although bad laws, if they exist, should be repealed as soon as possible, still while they continue in force, for the sake of example, they should be religiously observed.” The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln edited by Roy P. Basler, Volume I, “Address Before the Young Men’s Lyceum of Springfield, Illinois” (January 27, 1838), p. 112.

Americans inherently seem to know right from wrong. Living in a Republic is messy and loud. Yet, from the clamoring on two extreme points, fairness, justice, and mercy continue to stand in the common argument for the regulation of society to ultimately benefit all. Since Americans inherently know right from wrong and are generally just and merciful, the most contemptible actions a politician can make is to forget, upon election, he/she must serve all his/her constituents, not only the political party he/she personally adheres to and represents. This contemptible action, witnessed in many past and current political scandals, simultaneously displayed the actions taken at every level of government from the dogcatcher and school board locally to the president’s office federally. For example, President Obama’s decision to hire Arne Duncan as United States Secretary of Education, the multiplicity of “Czar” appointments, the VA scandal across America, the IRS debacle and the continuing saga this represents, and much more, on both sides of the political aisle, all find their roots in the failure to adhere to the rule of law. Supporting a personal political party’s leanings over the rule of law causes all of America to suffer grievously.

Districts elect their politicians, and an elected politician has only one job, which is to represent the citizens, all citizens of this great Republic, at the level of office elected. This means that the higher in political office, the broader the constituent base, and the higher the public’s trust, and hence the more closely the politician must walk in honoring, obeying, and upholding the laws of the land. If the politician’s first waking breath is not commitment to equality under the law and obedience to America’s Constitutional Law, as described by President Lincoln above, he/she is a charlatan, a hoax, a fraudster, and needs removal from holding a position of public trust. More to the point, failure to honor the elected responsibility to constituents is, by law, criminal negligence and warrants a court of action convened in the form of a public hearing held forthwith to determine status of guilt and accountability under the law for failure to uphold the public trust.

Rugged individuals founded America for people who love Liberty. To love Liberty means fair play and equality under the law as the basic and fundamental building block of society. If an individual personally is unable to tolerate individual liberty, that individual remains free to leave America’s shores and find a more suitable place to live among the other nations on Earth.

Too many people in America have failed to embrace personal liberty for their neighbors; thus, compromising personal liberty for themselves and fundamentally jeopardizing liberty for every American. President Lincoln could not have been plainer on this point, and the extreme examples of the last 20+ years on the Federal, State, and Local government levels are obvious. America is in danger not from without, e.g. terrorism, war, etc., but from within, e.g. politicians, who fail to uphold equality under American Constitutional Law and honor the rule of America’s law. The axiom continues to verify itself, “The wise man in the storm does not pray for deliverance from the storms without, but the storms within.” Direct application of hope, faith, and trust dispels fear as a storm within. If a politician holds a position of public trust, people have placed upon him/her their hope and faith that he/she will honor the rule of law for the benefit of all peoples, not simply those who helped him/her become elected.

A particular point of contention generates with “Special Interest Groups.” Special interest groups do not the full population represent; hence, the reason and label of “Special Interests.” Special interest groups are not capable of representing all the population or they would be called “General Interest Groups,” and not every person in America can be represented by such narrow thinking on any issue, let alone the big issues, e.g. abortion rights, religion, immigration, education, etc. Because “Special Interest Groups” do not represent the full population, limiting special interests, disclosing fully special interest funding sources, and issuing complete disclosure of the reason that particular special interest is pushing a specific legislative agenda are key factors. During the Obamacare debates, in full spectacle of the world, America learned a valuable lesson on the need for full disclosure on special interests. Special interest groups intensely supported, as political favors for the benefit of one political group over all others, software that never lived up to the hype and wasted hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars. This decision represented a deleterious action full of contempt for the rule of law rather than equal opportunity under the law for all persons. Anytime public money is used to issue a political favor, public trust is breached, the rule of law flouted, and the need for removal from office necessitated; then such persons are held accountable, along with those politically rewarded, in a court of law, and the public’s money is recovered.

The use of public funds in issuing political favors includes employment. Since public employees necessarily receive their wages from public money, politicians breach the public trust should they hire, as a reward for political favors and the public deserves their money back. Kevin Jennings is a specific example; President Obama, through Arne Duncan while in the office of Secretary of Education, hired Jennings as a “Safe Schools Czar.” Duncan knew Jennings would remain a prominent and outspoken member of the LGBTQ agenda through Jennings’ history with GLSEN, as well as a previous executive director for the group and an admirer of Harry Hays of NAMBLA. It seems particularly ironic that to achieve greater public support, under the leadership of Jennings the group GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network) changed its name (1997) from the Gay & Lesbian Independent School Teacher Network (GLISTN). His hire represents a significant breach of public trust as a pusher of the LGBTQ agenda. His role in government put him squarely into a position to coerce America’s Public Schools into becoming breeding grounds for the homosexual agenda instead of bastions for learning. Americans felt abhorred that someone who peddles in pedophilia was now in charge of making schools safer. For the record, anytime a legally recognized adult promotes sex with children under the age of legal majority is committing, or aiding in, the crime of pedophilia. By promoting books on adult/children sex, creating book lists and learning platforms promoting this deviant behavior, Jennings has aided and abetted, at the very least, pedophilia in America’s schools. While claiming success due to President Obama’s assistance, the LGBTQ Agenda became “anti-bullying” at a conference hosted by the White House with President Obama being the keynote speaker.

An investment of public money through employment for the political reward of a constituent is what landed Gov. Rod Blagojevich of Illinois in prison. What put him in prison is and continues to be called, “Pay-to-Play.” Investing in a politician that leads to a reward, e.g. employment, with the ability to “play” with the laws of the land remains despicable and worthy of criminal charges with a public trial for all persons in the chain of decision-making; yes, this includes President Obama.

Rest assured politicians can hire whom they choose, but they must do so ever cognizant of the moral fiber and ethical standards of those hired, and the public trust invested through both the voting booth and tax dollars. Kevin Jennings never showed the slightest inclination to support the rule of law or equality under the law for all people. In fact, many of his friends and associates continue to believe that if a person does not think in a similar manner to themselves, that person needs to be destroyed politically, personally, and professionally, this is also referred to as being “Bork[ed].” Represented and exemplified through the actions of such supporters in the removal of Inspector Generals in the Federal Government at large, the changes specifically within the Department of Education, and the cover-ups in the IRS and VA scandals were all designed to hide truth from the American public. This is dangerous ground for America and represents terrorism at the most fundamental level, the terrorism of thought leading to action while holding a position of public trust paid for by public funds. By using the threat of government action to intimidate, coerce, and force societal change, many in government, like Jennings, are committing terrorist acts.

As the elections of 2016 draw near, this missive belongs to the politicians currently holding office as well as those hoping to hold public office: please uphold the rule of law. Please come out in full and unequivocal support of the rule of law and the liberty of all as the only hope for saving America, even if this means people suffer from the consequences of their poor individual decisions. Embrace the rule of America’s Constitutional law. Taxpayers, as represented by their collective elected officials colloquially known as government, cannot and should never be forced to pay for bad personal decisions with public money. Government is not a charitable organization. Hence, government cannot and should not be investing public money in abortion clinics, drug rehab clinics, and other consequences for poor personal decisions. Charitable and religious organizations are sufficient to this task and public money needs investing elsewhere, e.g. providing for the common defense, ensuring free trade among the states, reducing the debt, or lowering taxes, etc.

Stand for the absolute rule of law and America wins. Failure to stand for the rule of law and America loses, utterly and completely. With the failure to stand for the rule of law, politicians elected and trusted by their constituents, who transform themselves into being inadequate to the task to perform according to law. Their names are thence cast upon the dung heaps of history as charlatans and unpitied betrayers of the struggle to keep America the “…shining city on a hill,” full of “…liberty and justice for all.”
