I have experienced an eclectic lifestyle with multiple professional careers in my lifetime. Two of my major experiences have been in law enforcement and technology. I spent 30 years with the Los Angeles county sheriff's department in multiple roles from patrol to investigations. My IT career was predominantly functioning as a software engineer writing expert systems augmenting operating systems. In 2012 I retired professionally for the last (?) time. However, I have since joined a fire department and function as a firefighter/EMT lieutenant. (I'm still pushing the envelope.) The main reason I created this blog was to educate the public regarding the threat(s) we face in America -- primarily from socialism and Islamism. I started sharing information 14 years ago and have watched the 'enemy' grow stronger and more successful. I attribute that success to the apathy and ignorance of the American public. Hence my primary motivation for writing these articles -- education.

COVID-19 and Trusting Our Government

IUCN statement on the COVID-19 pandemic | IUCN

Every American citizen should have heard about COVID-19 by now — lots of data, alleged evidence, and ‘science’.  Most of those Americans have probably all made up their mind about what COVID-19 is, how it started, and what can and cannot be done to address it.  But are they right?  Was it in fact ‘created’ in a lab?  If so, by who and when?

All too often people make up their minds and then refuse to believe actual evidence that could potentially change their mind.  Well, this article is one of those opportunities that will give you that sort of information and the source of it.  Not made up information by an extremist, but from U.S. federal government documents.  Where did I get this information?  From Glenn Beck.

Glenn Beck is a journalist and radio talk-show host who has 30+ years of experience in the news business.  He started out on a local radio station, moved up the radio news ladder, hired into CNN, quit after a few years and went to work for FOX news, and finally quit FOX news after another few years and then created his own cable TV network.  Today, he has millions of followers — even more than CNN!

Every Wednesday evening Glenn airs a one hour TV special on a topic of current significant importance.  During the day, he hosts a daily radio/TV talk show typically discussing matters of great importance for consumption by his viewers.  His objective is to bring to the U.S., information that his viewers won’t get anywhere else — which is often the case. 

I have created this article to share with my readers his latest news flash that he created — probably the most impactful report in decades within the U.S. affecting every American alive today.

Rather than repeating what he had to say, I present to you three things: access to his subscriber BlazeTV show (video), the source documents for that show, and a link to the Steve Deace show.  So who is Steve Deace you ask?

Steve Deace is an employee of Glenn’s that has his own show on BlazeTV and had a special of his own right after Glenn’s Wednesday night.  Steve has — Dr. Ryan Cole, CEO and Medical Director, Cole Diagnostics — on his show who is extremely knowledgeable of COVID-19.  On Steve’s show viewers called in with questions they developed from Glenn’s show asking for explanations regarding complex topics.  Steve and Dr. Cole answered those questions.  The objective being for Blaze subscribers to develop a better understanding of what was discussed on Glenn’s show.

With that as a lead-in, here is all of the information that I have gathered regarding this expose.

Glenn’s BlazeTV Wednesday night special video

The government source documents (Obtained by numerous journalists who volunteered to gather the information.)

The Steve Deace BlazeTV special video with explanations for complicated topics during Glenn’s show — (has been been scrubbed from Rumble’s video storage).  Sorry too late. 

NOTE:  This information may not be available long.

I have included all of this information to help you understand the gravity of this COVID-19 topic and its impact.  We have not seen the last of it — by a long shot. 

Because this information is so important for the American public to consume, our government is and has been trying to keep all of it from Mr. and Mrs. America.  But with copies of the government documents supplied to you, you can see the physical evidence proves our government has been lying to us — for a long time!

Please share this information with everyone you know who has been living in fear for the last one-and-a-half years, sacrificing friendships, avoiding family contacts, etc.  This should make every American citizen outraged! 

To top off all of the above information, the FDA is requesting the federal court make all of this information confidential (not accessible by the public — ignoring all FOIA requests) for the next ‘55 years (2076)‘!!  Do you think they’re worried?  I sure hope so.  I strongly advise you to read the following article from World Net Daily. It demonstrates the level of corruption we are facing. 

FDA wants to wait 55 years to disclose vaccine data

We must resist this sort of totalitarian behavior and push back whenever possible.  You can call and/or write your representatives in both the House and the Senate.  Their phone lines should heat up soon, if not melt??  I hope…

Again, please feel free to pass this article on to others so that we can hopefully bring better understanding and consensus in our country — on at least this subject!!?

 

America — A Totalitarian State?

America is coming undone.  People are getting fed up with what appears more and more daily like behavior right out of a totalitarian regime.  What has historically been good, is now defined as bad.  What has been bad, is now defined as good..?  Evil people perpetrating evil acts against honest people is justified all too often — by their race, status, etc.

Historically criminals in America were looked upon as bad people who needed to be incarcerated — kept away from the good people — or rehabilitated in some form of ‘friendly’ institution.

‘Cruel and unusual punishment’ (as mentioned in our constitution — Amendment VIII) has been the favorite word of the media to beat to death in the press for decades when discussing those hardened criminals.  They are so concerned about the welfare of a hardened, murderous, or terrorist criminal who should be severely pushed.  And of course, the ACLU, NAACP, et al are always available 7×24 to run to the aid of those people — but not their victims.

Now today, we have the people who were caught up in the January 6th incident who have been labeled as terrorists, anarchists, and revolutionaries.  (When in fact there is evidence to the fact that the FBI was the coordinating agency in our government for this event.)  The outcry from the Left and is continuous about how they are evil — for over ten months now!  Some of these Jan. 6th people are grandmothers and comparatively innocent people who do not deserve to be locked up for months — without trial!

Where are they being kept?  In the D.C. jail.  Let’s stop here a moment and understand what the word ‘jail’ means.

There are technically three forms of incarceration:  jail (county or city), state prison, and federal prison.  So what’s the difference?

A county jail has one of two purposes — to hold people for a hearing or trial, and to incarcerate ‘convicted’ persons who have been generally found guilty of a misdemeanor (lower level) crime.

Whereas a state prison is for the incarceration of persons who have been  ‘convicted‘ of a felony (highly rated crime) in a court of law.  And a federal penitentiary is intended for the incarceration of those convicted of a federal crime (typically documented in the federal law or one which crossed state borders).

So, back to the D.C. jail.  Have the people of January 6th had a hearing?  NO!  Have they had a trial?  NO!  Since they haven’t had either, they obviously haven’t been convicted of a crime.  Then one must ask, how is a person held in a jail without the ability to get bail, a hearing, or a trial and still be held for almost a year (the maximum legally allowed time to be held in a jail) without any of those mandatory things?  How does one explain this?

But even worse, it is the condition in which these people are being held that should make any reasonable person angry and/or fearful.  What if ‘you‘ were a victim of such action!!?  How would ‘you‘ feel?

Ah, but the article below is even scarier that most could imagine.  Rather than rambling on, I will just embed the original article from The Epoch Times news agency for you to digest.  Sit down, calm yourself, and then read the following.

Jan. 6 Defendants Taken Out of Cells on Stretchers: Court Filing

November 13, 2021 Updated: November 13, 2021

Multiple Jan. 6 defendants were taken out of their cells on stretchers on Thursday, according to a court filing.

The situation started when one of the defendants refused to wear a mask, family members of Kelly Meggs, who is being held in the D.C. Jail, told Meggs lawyer.

Prison guards began spraying a chemical substance described as “some kind of mace or pepper spray, according to a filing in federal court.

“They sprayed mace or some type of gas at an inmate and kept missing so it went into an intake that fed into other cells and the lady with the key left because she didn’t like the gas, so the inmates in the cells who were being fed the gas from that intake were locked in for like 15 minutes while it was going into their rooms and they couldn’t see/breathe,” the family told Jonathon Moseley, the lawyer.

More than one of the defendants was taken out on stretchers to medical bays.

Julie Kelly, a writer for the American Greatness, reported on Wednesday that prison guards filled an area of the jail with chemical spray and three detainees had to be taken out on stretchers.

Moseley and the D.C. Department of Corrections did not respond to requests for comment.

The lawyer said his client was not in one of the cells that the gas was cycled into by the ventilation system. He urged the court to explore with the Bureau of Prisons and Congress whether any federal funds are already or can be allocated to repair and upgrade the D.C. Jail facilities.

Neither prosecutors nor the judge has yet responded to the filing.

The jail has been under heightened scrutiny in recent months due to its holding of dozens of people accused of participating in the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

One defendant, Christopher Worrell, was released from pretrial custody last week because U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth became troubled by the lack of proper medical care he received from the jail.

The U.S. Marshals Service showed up unannounced at the facilities in mid-October. Officials deemed the part holding Jan. 6 detainees suitable but found conditions in another part that “do not meet the minimum standards of confinement,” the agency said in a recent statement.

Lamont Ruffin, the acting U.S. Marshal for Washington, told Quincy Booth, director of the D.C. Department of Corrections, in a letter that he personally went to the jail and saw “evidence of systemic failures.”

Prison guards routinely shut off water to cells as punishment and multiple cells had “large amounts of standing human sewage (urine and feces) in the toilets,” inspectors found. Additionally, guards were observed antagonizing detainees and hot meals were observed being served “cold and congealed”.

Jail officials were ordered to transfer around 400 detainees, or 36 percent of the inmates in the Central Treatment Facility, one of the facilities that makes up the D.C. Jail, to a prison in another state.

Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), after months of attempts, were able to tour the facilities last week. Greene said she witnessed terrible conditions, including Jan. 6 detainees receiving “very poor food” and “virtually no medical care.”

“I want to be very clear that we will deal with those deficiencies so that we have a safe jail until such time that the District is able to build a new one,” Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser, a Democrat who helped the members secure access, told The Epoch Times in an email.

Avis Buchanan, director of the Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia, said in a statement it has called out the treatment of detainees at the D.C. Jail for years.

“The inhumane conditions have included long-term solitary confinement for people with no disciplinary issues, lack of running water, full illumination of cells for 24-hours per day resulting in sleep deprivation, cells soiled with feces and blood, lack of air conditioning during the summer, and heat during the winter, lack of proper medical care, failure to provide mental health treatment, and physical and mental abuse by correctional officers of people in their custody,” Buchanan said.

Councilman Charles Allen, the Democrat chairman of the D.C. City Council’s Committee on the Judiciary and Public Safety, described the situation as “a crisis” during a remote hearing this week.

“I do not use that term lightly. The District of Columbia has a moral and constitutional duty to provide humane and dignified conditions of confinement and to do so immediately. And that’s not happening here,” he added.

D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine, a Democrat, acknowledged during the hearing that concerns about the conditions in the jail “received little attention until they were raised, of course, by mostly white defendants accused of perpetrating the Jan. 6” breach, adding, “That’s not because people weren’t complaining.”

Chris Geldart, a deputy mayor, told council members that there are “systemic issues” at the jail and the issues raised by U.S. Marshals were being addressed, but also claimed that the problems were “not so pervasive that [the jail] has become uninhabitable.”

Geldart also confirmed that Marshals were blocked from re-entering the facilities about a week after the inspection, pinning the decision on the warden.

The D.C. Department of Corrections and the U.S. Marshals Service on Nov. 10 entered into a memorandum of understanding that outlines plans to improve conditions at the jail. Each party is forbidden from issuing press releases or speaking to the media about the agreement without consent from the other party.

I realize we live in America, a ‘free nation’, but does this sound like a free nation to you?  What this does sound like is something right out of Lenin’s, Stalin’s, Mao’s, or Xi Jinping’s totalitarian state handbook!

Where exactly do you think we’re heading?  With this sort of evil governmental control unfolding right before our eyes today, where do you think we’re headed tomorrow?  Trust me, darkness for decades at a minimum is going to be our destination — if left alone and unchallenged.

The operative word for today is ‘RESIST‘!!  If the people of this country don’t stand up against evil today, we are doomed tomorrow.  How exactly do you think Germany, Russia, China, Cuba, Venezuela, et al got into the condition they did?  By useful idiots standing by doing nothing, waiting for someone else to resolve their ‘issue’ is the answer.  (God forbid anyone has a ‘problem’ today.)  Issue hell, this is disastrous.

I’ve been pleading with Americans for over six years, telling them what is coming, and to stand up against evil and/or prepare for evil to take over this world.  Well, we’re almost there.

The Marxists within our country have been working clandestinely turning America into a soviet state for decades.  Now today, you are lied to weekly regarding a virus that will kill everyone unless you do what they tell you to do.  And still, far too many people walk about with masks on in their cars, alone.  Scared rabbits in fear of an invisible bug that will kill them like it were Ebola.

How do you think a society such as described here would fare in a war with China?  What do you think the ‘snowflakes’ of America would do if threatened by a foreign country?  If you’re wondering the answer to that question, you may not have to wait long to find out.  China is preparing for war faster than the Japanese just before world war II!  And, we are losing hundreds, if not thousands of well trained, battle hardened troops over a useless vaccine shot!!?

Normally these articles end with, “Wake up America”.  But I’ve all but given up on our society due to their lack of courage.  We’re so weak today that we can’t even handle being called any number of names.  Wait till you see people being beaten with sticks.  If names hurt you, what do you think real evil will feel like …  when YOU are the victim.

How much evidence does this country need in order to believe they are under attack by communists and evil?  My guess is, that we have 2-5 years before real crisis hits us right between the eyes.  You’d better be ready…

Federal Law Enforcement Is Expanding — FAST

I said about three years ago, “The changes we are seeing in America will get more critical (crazy), and the speed with which they come at us will be progressively faster and faster.”  Unfortunately I was right, but I also believe that pace will continue to accelerate for at least the near future.  Why?  Because the Left (Marxists) in this country is anxious to make its touchdown — the U.S. becoming the next soviet state.  i.e., USSA

We have witnessed changes made across the U.S. which are designed to weaken our police in America.  Many find that hard to understand.  What good could come of it?

If we downsize or de-fund our police, America will turn into a lawless country of chaos.  If that were to happen, who would step in to control the chaos in our cities and bring peace back to our streets?  The police who are retiring at a rapid rate?  The younger generation who wants no part of law enforcement, because it’s either too hard a job or it doesn’t pay enough?  Not to mention they would be on the ‘wrong’ side!?

What most of us don’t know is that the federal government has been growing their national police force(s) very rapidly over the last two decades.  And, their powers have grown just as fast.  The majority of the federal police (e.g., FBI, NSA, DSA, etc.) in the U.S. have been using their powers in ways unlike at any other time in recent history.

During Germany’s ‘transformation’ in the 1930’s the local police were impacted greatly.  Because Hitler’s intent was to morph Germany into a National Socialist country with a totalitarian dictator, it meant changes were needed for his success.  It was necessary to address any police force that would potentially oppose him in order to assure his success.

Initially he created the ‘brown shirts’ which were similar to the Bolsheviks of Lenin’s time who helped get him into power.  But after Hitler was in power, he created the Gestapo which were the investigative arm of his ‘gang’.  They had few boundaries to work within and could pick up anyone without question after doing a small amount of investigation.

The truly scary thing is, we are seeing some similar activities going on today which could potentially lead to our way of life causing it to take a sharp Left turn.  e.g., Arresting and locking up Americans with no formal charges filed and holding those people for months without arraignment.  (January 6th ‘terrorists’)

If you watch the video below, you will see changes reported in the federal police that are hard to believe.  And there’s not just one of those changes or one organization that is changing — it is many!

This is a one hour video.  But Glenn dishes out a tremendous amount of relevant information in that time, a lot of which is shocking to listen to. He comes by the information via sources that most people don’t have and the many journalists he has on his payroll.  These investigations typically take weeks or longer to gather.  His reports are not contrived nor generalizations, but factual reports based on evidence.

You should find several in the video of interest.

I have written more articles in the last few weeks than I have in the past several months.  But that is because the magnitude of the changes taking place are truly scary, if you understand them and their implications.  Our freedoms are precariously perched on a razor’s edge and we could fall like many countries before us.   e.g., Venezuela, Cuba, et al

My hope is that the citizens of this country stop bickering with one another and start coming together against a common enemy — the Marxist threat.  My second hope is that law enforcement today — active and retired — join together in honoring their oath “to protect and defend the constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic”.  They might be the tip of the spear we need to keep our country together in the not too distant future. .?

The De-Militarization of Our Forces

Within the recent three years I have said that we will see more extreme actions being taken by the Left (Marxists) and at a progressively more rapid rate.  We are seeing that rate moving faster every month now, not to mention the level of insanity.  i.e., wokeness

The American people should be shaking in their boots if they only had a clue as to what is happening within America and to all of us .  However, sadly, the financially unstable people are struggling to maintain a livelihood, and the financially stable people are busy having a good time, often ignoring or not caring what is going on — much less taking any of them taking any independent action of their own to bring awareness or resist the insanity in any way. 

In my recent article The Sinking of America — The Afghanistan Debacle, I correlated the efforts of the Marxists’ fairly recent actions (10-15 years)  designed to destroy our reputation within America and with the Afghanistan war pull-out designed to destroy the world’s view of us.  The result unfortunately is, the world has a very dim view of America and our not being the world’s leader any longer.  

Toward the end of the last term of the Obama presidency, he made an effort to make a clean sweep of our military leaders.  He targeted everyone from the level of O6 (Colonel)  to the very top ranks.  Each of those people were interviewed, and if their ideology did not match what he was looking for, they were immediately released from the military.  What could become of that action you ask?  You are seeing the net result today.  e.g., Afghanistan  Instead of the military leaders initiating an intelligent exit from Afghanistan, they throw a multi-billion dollar air force base to the side along with $85B in weapons and equipment and endanger thousands of lives (American and friends) — without reason..? 

Now, to insure we are the weakest military in the world, Biden & Co. are picking up the baton from Obama and carrying Obama’s actions to the next level — insuring that the leadership of tomorrow’s military are ‘woke’. 

Hard to believe?  Read the following article from The Federalist.  (Original article link is here.) 

Biden Administration Orders Ideological Purge Of U.S. Military Academies

There is no greater danger to the country than this effort to politicize the military by ensuring that all officers hew to the political party line of this administration.
 
John Lucas

President Joe Biden and his administration are continuing to purge and politicize the American military. Consistent with the totalitarian left’s effort to control curricula down to the grade-school level, their latest effort targets the education of America’s future military leaders at the service academies: The U. S. Military Academy at West Point, the Naval Academy at Annapolis, and the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs.

This is not happening by accident. And there is no greater danger to the country than this effort to politicize the military by ensuring that all officers hew to the political party line of this administration.

Each of the service academies is overseen by a bipartisan “Board of Visitors,” comprised of accomplished members of Congress, retired military personnel, and distinguished civilians. By federal statute, these Boards of Visitors are charged with a duty to “inquire into the morale and discipline, the curriculum, instruction, physical equipment, fiscal affairs, academic methods, and other matters relating to the Academy.” The members visit the academies regularly and by law are required to submit an annual “written report to the President of its action, and of its views and recommendations pertaining to the Academy.”

On January 30, less than two weeks after President Biden’s inauguration, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin announced he was suspending the Boards of Visitors for West Point, the Air Force Academy, and the Naval Academy, along with those of 39 other DOD advisory boards. This suspension of operations was to take place “immediately,” pending completion of what Austin called a “Zero-Based Review” of the boards. This was to include recommendations of “changes to mission or functions, membership balance, [and] membership size.”

Although the service academies’ Boards of Visitors’ operations were suspended, their membership was retained, at least temporarily. Austin could not fire the members of their boards because they are appointed, by statute, by congressional leadership and the president. That purge would have to come later, as it now has.

Austin ordered that the review of service academies’ boards was to be completed by April 30. This has yet to occur. However, on Aug. 27, Susan Gough, a Pentagon “Strategic Planner & Spokesperson,” announced: “Largely, the zero-based review committee-level work has been completed, and Secretary Austin is examining the recommendations to determine how he wants to move forward…. We don’t have any specific announcements to make at this time, but we should be able to communicate in more detail soon about what boards are going to be reconstituted and how they’re going to be both chaired and populated” (emphasis added).

The next shoe dropped on Sept. 8, when the White House purported to fire the service academies board members appointed by President Trump. Notwithstanding Biden’s self-professed policy of unity and “bringing the nation together,” this unprecedented action was calculated to be as insulting as possible.

Biden’s director of the Office of White House Personnel, Catherine Russell, sent letters to all the president-appointed members requesting their resignations that same day with a caveat that they would be terminated if they did not resign voluntarily by 6:00 p.m. She did not include any recognition of their past service, just a perfunctory “thank you” for their demanded resignation. Nor did she give any reason for the firings, or mention that each member had been appointed for a three-year term.

This message came from the top. Russell is not some third-tier millennial who is freelancing policy decisions without the president’s knowledge and approval. She is a senior, experienced Democrat political operative who is a “longtime adviser to both Vice President Biden and his wife Dr. Jill Biden.”

Among other things, she is a former chief of staff to Jill Biden, an “ambassador-at-large for Global Women’s Issues,” and is married to President Obama’s National Security Advisor Tom Donilon. Her brother-in-law is Mike Donilon, a lawyer and political consultant who was the chief strategist of Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign and now serves as a “chief advisor” to Biden. These are top-level, plugged-in people who are part of the policy-making core group of political operatives running this show.

Another “Special Assistant to the President,” a thirty-somethingish Katie Petrelius, added (more) insult to injury in an email, curtly informing the distinguished members like Gens. Jack Keane and H. R. McMaster, Rep. Sean Spicer, and others that, “If we do not receive your resignation by end of day today, you will be terminated.”

Russell’s and Petrelius’s heavy-handed and dangerous effort to eradicate independent and diverse viewpoints are clearly part of a coordinated strategy. It fulfills the Pentagon’s promise “to communicate in more detail” about how the boards will be “reconstituted and how they’re going to be both chaired and populated.”

As of this writing, the administration and its allies in the press have not yet coordinated their defense of this political purge. The first weak effort was Jen Psaki’s in her Sept. 8 press briefing. She gave the game away when she defended the firings, saying among other absurdities, that “the president’s qualification requirements are …. whether you’re aligned with the values of this administration.”

Think about that: Those overseeing the education of our future military leaders must align themselves with Joe Biden’s thinking and values. Scary thought.

These lefties are saying retired vice chief of staff and four-star general Keane, West Point distinguished graduate and three-star general McMaster, and Spicer, however competent they may be, are not fit to serve this country overseeing the military service academies because they are too diverse—they may not be “aligned with the values of this administration.” What an utter disgrace. And a dangerous one.

The American people need to fully understand how dangerous a precedent this administration is setting for the country. It is not just part of the continuing Biden purge of anything Trump touched, although it is that. It is part of the political left’s relentless drive to force political conformity in thought, word, and deed on all segments of society, including the military.

It is also an attempt to overthrow the fundamental military ethos and tradition of being apolitical. The military has always had a long and valued tradition of being apolitical. In all this writer’s years of active service, all of which were during the Vietnam War, I never heard an officer criticize any president or push any political position.

Most officers and non-commissioned officers take pride in that. Their sworn loyalty is to the Constitution, not to any particular president or administration. This ethos and tradition also have the force of law. They are enshrined in Article 88 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. It is commanded by law for good reason: A politicized military would pose an existential danger to our constitutional order.

The apolitical nature of the military, along with its competence, is one of our country’s crown jewels. It is a priceless tradition.

It is priceless because its elimination for a standard by which those overseeing the education of our future military officers must agree with “the values of this administration” would inevitably fully politicize the U.S. military (a process many fear is already underway). There is no greater danger to both the safety and the freedom of the American people.

With China’s threats and possible military action looming at our near horizon, this should scare the **** out of anyone reading it.!!? This could mean that our future military has as leadership nothing but woke officers leading our soldiers. And, their twisted thinking would be forced down the throats of the enlisted personnel soon afterward. How would that work in any significant military engagement?

I’ve been saying for years that we are moving toward the Left’s endgame for a long time. Every aspect of this country is being ‘reinvented’ and our country destroyed , unidentifiable from what our founders intended. Worse, if America continues on this path much longer, it will be game over for not only America, but the world. We are the anchor of the world and model for freedom — or have been.

I believe in prayer, but I also believe in action. If the American people do not rise up, push back, and stop this insanity SOON, we will be done, toast, kaput. And when I mean soon, that means to me, in the next two years. The Left (Marxist) in this country have a timetable and they need this effort to be game over by 2024 — no later. That’s not a very long from now.

What does ‘game over’ mean?

An economy that will make the 1930’s depression look like the good ol’ days, which shouldn’t be difficult given the debt we have accrued. Crime and chaos worse than we could imagine, not just in Chicago, but everywhere would make our lives difficult to deal with. And, we would be living in fear of any number of countries attacking us and our not having a chance to successfully win a war with a bunch of woke generals along with junior officers (aka, snowflakes). Fear would be the watch word of the day, every day.

If you think this is a lot of crazy talk to be ignored, just clear your computer screen and go have a drink on me. Otherwise, you and everyone else in this country had better wake up quick!

We are dying a death of a thousand cuts. This article and others I have written (Justice4USA.wordpress.com) is describing merely a few of the thousands of cuts we’ve already experienced — and likely you never knew they even happened. Why not? Because people don’t like to share bad news or honest news — especially the media and the press. Propaganda is everywhere and it is hard to find the truth. Before long, the truth will no longer be available at all. In actuality, many people in this country don’t believe there is any truth.

Please share this article with anyone and everyone, even if they aren’t believers of realistic reporting. They might tell someone about the stupid article they read, and by ‘accident’, share the truth by mistake.

Welcome to 1984!!

WAKE UP AMERICA!!!

The Sinking of America — The Afghanistan Debacle

Taliban

America has been watching an insane ‘woke’ behavior in our country over recent years which is designed to create division and hate between the various segments of our society.  The ultimate goal of this tactic is to get people here in America to hate America!  And it isn’t just one or two individuals who are doing this, but thousands of American citizens (~47% useful idiots) — not to mention the press, activists, politicians, et al. 

So why is this happening you ask?  The answer is to bring in the new ideology to America — communism.  Barack Obama (our onetime president) once said, “We are just days away from fundamentally transforming America.”  However, he just intentionally eliminated the ‘into what’ part of his statement.  But in truth, to fill in the blanks, the answer was to get rid of capitalism and bring on communism.  In order to do that you need to destroy capitalism first, and then get the people to hate it before you can convert the country to a socialist (communist) state. 

The Marxists in the U.S. have been working at doing this for over ‘100 years’.  And now they are extremely close to meeting their objective.  But getting the people of the U.S. to hate our country is just one part of their hate campaign.  Today, they are working on getting the entire world to hate us.  Why the world, you ask? 

Capitalism is generally seen as a national ideology or perspective.  Each country can choose what plan they implement.  Whereas the communists see their ideology as an international one — i.e., the entire world needs to be communistic.  After all, they believe with a ‘one world government’ everyone will get along, there won’t be any wars, economies will flourish, etc. because they are all under the same ruler/totalitarian leader.  And as Biden once insinuated said on the news, they can move faster than us because they only have one person to make decisions, we have many. 

And now we have the Afghanistan debacle.  With the advent of the recent Biden mess, the entire world has lost faith in the U.S. — as well our allies!!  What could go wrong?  The world is on edge as it is, with the world’s greatest power on its knees, what possible outcome could occur?  That should be obvious.  

The current aspiring country trying to get the entire world into a state of control is China.  They’re licking their lips waiting to conquer not only us, but all of Europe, and then the world. (Numerous other countries are already controlled by communist dictators.  Therefore the time to accomplish world domination would be shortened greatly.) 

With the seemingly endless list of insane decisions being made regarding the Afghanistan withdrawal, it is hard to believe this is just a matter of incompetence.  Because the president has an almost endless list of advisors, how can we assume that so many decisions were made ignoring some semblance of logical advice?  (Biden often starts any press meetings with, “I was told to say…”.)  Who told him to say anything?

We have seen $85B worth of death wielding weaponry fall into the hands of a 6th century tribal society driven by an insane religious ideology, and our having no one in country to protect the residents (not to mention our own citizens).  If their objective is to create chaos in the world (much like here), they’re doing a great job of it. 

This may just sound like sour grapes, but there is an important point to consider — America is the anchor of the world.  If America wasn’t started back in the 1600’s, who would stand in the way of communism?  America must go say the Marxists!  That’s why we’re seeing the initial activities to destroy America now.  They are creating the foundation for the ultimate (biblical prediction) a ‘One World Government’. 

But we must also consider the shorter term fallout.  Afghanistan is the richest country with lithium mines!  Who cares, we do!  Our government is now saying that we will have no gas engines driving our vehicles by 2030!  Where will the batteries come from?  China, Afghanistan’s ally.  Do you really believe our ‘superior government’ is that stupid as to put us behind the eight-ball for the distant future?  Insanity.  

Is there a way to pull out of this ‘dive’?  Yes, get a commander-in-chief with a sound functioning brain.  But who would that be?  Laughing Harris?  Wicked witch Pelosi?  The democrats in congress?  Ha!  Democrat, republican, independent, what difference does it make?  Most are corrupted at this point, driven by “what’s in it for me” thinking.  Who’s fighting for YOU?  Trump?  He was voted out — assuming you believe that was an honest election.  Time is short.  We don’t have decades any longer to turn this ship around to keep us from going to the worst government form in history — communism. 

If our current debacle isn’t enough, we’re looking at HR1 potentially being passed by the Senate which would guarantee dishonest elections for the foreseeable future — and more inept puppets for leadership.  Put that together with the current administration’s tax and spend approach to building our economy back and you’ve got a disaster in the making.  The only thing in question is when are we going into a depression..? 

This world is getting to be a very scary place.  The question is what can we do about it.  To my way of thinking, there is no (one) answer.  It will take a herculean list of events to turn this disaster around, if not divine intervention.  And every day the American citizenry keeps their head planted where it shouldn’t be, we will continue to sink in this swamp of disaster. 

The question is, what is your plan for the future?  Are you thinking of any plans?  That is, besides enjoying today?  I say this because I’ve been pleading with Americans to wake up for years.  But to date everyone seems to be in a sound sleep..?  

Who is to blame for this?  The American people — that is you and I.  We ignore reality and say, “There’s nothing I can do.  My vote doesn’t count.”  So people just go on not voting hoping someone else will make the difference.  If you mention their kids or grand-kids, they say I don’t want to talk about it.  What kind of example are we setting for our children?  Is cowardice supposed to be attractive and/or a good lesson plan for the next generation?  I don’t think so.

Each person should be watching what is happening and doing just a few things.  Look for what is really happening.  Take all of those real things (dots) and connect them.  Make an objective analysis of what they project or represent and and see where they lead.  And, we should assume anything the federal government is telling us is a lie!  e.g., Fauchi  There is no news any longer in the press — it is only propaganda.  The big public news outlets are bought and paid for.  If only Lenin, Hitler, Stalin could have had such tools!  We’d all be speaking German or Russian today. 

Wake up America.  The enemy is very close and getting much closer faster and faster.  If we stay asleep much longer we’ll either be speaking Mandarin or Russian in the future.  We ALL must stand together in order to overcome this evil entity trying to not just destroy us, but the whole world. 

Please forward this article to everyone possible.  Our nation is on the precipice of failure given our current direction.  It won’t be long now..?

The George Floyd Case — The Rest of The Story

George Floyd, fired officer overlapped security shifts at south Minneapolis  club | KSTP.com

By now almost the entire United States is aware of this trial and its outcome.  However, the vast majority of them have no accurate perspective of what really happened on the street or in the courtroom. 

The purpose of this article is to present a different perspective of what happened on the street in this case, how the elements of evidence relate to the outcome, and what was presented in court.  The prosecution in the courtroom at times was hard to identify as their statements lead the viewer to think they were part of the defense.?!  (Strange behavior for a prosecutor — sharing emotional, non-fact based testimony.) 

If you were to watch the first video (image below), you would learn a great deal about this case and the relevant forensic evidence that was available to both the prosecution and defense.  But based on the kabuki show that was presented on TV called a trial, very little if any of the real evidence was argued in court.  Instead, statements were made by the prosecutor regarding the emotional responses bystanders had — which have little relevance to a jury during deliberation (technically). 

Summary

I will attempt to summarize the video in a brief fashion for the reader (who is often in a hurry).   The video has two parts — the first part is 13 mins. of video evidence gathering; and second is forensic analysis of that video and the events that occurred and the connections between those things observed. 

However, it is strongly suggested that you watch the entire 24 minute video of which the first 13 minutes is evidence gathering, and the rest is relevance of the phases and analysis of same.

Note that the officers when they first address the store clerk regarding the nature of the call for service, the clerk indicates that the suspect possibly counterfeited at $20 bill — a felony.

The officers then approached the suspect in his vehicle in a professional manner until he refused to follow orders.  At this point, for their safety, the officers became more forceful verbally to motivate the suspect to follow their commands — to which Floyd did not comply.

Most of the video then showed repeated attempts to restrain a  6 foot, 7 inch ‘giant’ (a name that Floyd was referred to by friends).  (See: George Floyd Described As A ‘Gentle Giant’ By Friends).

I don’t know about you, but if I’m involved in a physical altercation with someone that size with an estimated weight of 240 lbs.+, I would be concerned for my safety.  Especially if you believed he has an extensive criminal background and is strung out on pain killing drugs (which increase his strength several times).  Floyd’s size and background is pointed out here to help the reader understand the gravity of the situation (in the minds of the officers).  Also of import, it also relates to the motivation behind polices’ behavior. 

Note that the officers kept trying to get Floyd into a position of weakness so that he could be successfully restrained from attacking them or escaping their custody.  At one point Floyd states that he had been ‘hooping’.  Hooping is street slang for putting illegal drugs inside the rectum to get a very fast and intense high through absorption in the anal cavity.  

Most of the statements Floyd made while resisting the officers were to an extent, irrational and were intended to manipulate the scene and the officers.  Several of those statements were conflicting with what he said previously during the process.  e.g., He claimed to be claustrophobic and couldn’t handle being in a car.  When in fact, he was first encountered in his own car relaxed and/or not stressed. 

Once they get him part way into their police vehicle, Floyd starts yelling and claiming he can’t breath.  Yet at this point his neck and chest areas were not being constricted causing him a loss of breath.  In all probability he was reacting to the drugs he placed in his anal cavity. 

They finally take him back out of the car and place him on the ground in the prone position when he begins to struggle and fight the officers again.  This exertion along with being on his stomach could cause a reduced amount of air flow to Floyd.  Officer Chauvin at this point had his knee on the suspect’s neck.  However, if you watch the video closely you’ll see Floyd raise his head and Chauvin raising his knee in unison with Floyd’s head and neck.  The implication being, Floyd was not receiving undue pressure to his throat. 

In my opinion the key tactical error was Chauvin keeping his knee on Floyd’s neck with or without pressure.  As they say today, if nothing else, the optics were not good.  Also, it would have been better to place Floyd in a recumbent position (fetal position on his side) to allow him breath easier.

Soon after, Floyd passes out and ultimately died at the hospital.  The fact that he was a drug addict for years, that he had ‘hooped’ 300% more toxic drug than was needed to kill him, that he had 90% blockage in his arteries, already had a heart condition, and was in poor physical condition, should be substantially relevant to the cause of his death — potentially eliminating intent to kill Floyd.

Note:  Occasionally firemen attend fire drills (training) which is very physically stressful.  It is not an uncommon occurrence for a younger (25-50 year old) fireman to attend such training, leave the training field, and then die hours later at home from a heart attack.  An example of this phenomena is the death of officer Brian Sicknick at the Washington, DC House of Representatives riot.  He was originally said to have died as a result of a blow to the head.  However forensics did not corroborate that was the case.   Later they determined he died of a stroke. 

During the second half of the video (11 mins. in) George Parry, the Chief of the Brutality and Misconduct unit (5 years) presents his analysis of the forensic evidence.   His obvious professional analysis presents compelling reason to believe that George Floyd did not die as a direct result of the police’s actions, but of his poor decision making and actions.  Not to mention his poor physical condition. 

Again, please watch the video, it’s worth it if you have any interest in the facts of this case.

George Floyd at the age of 16 — Property claim in Judge Judy’s court

At the age of 16 George Floyd carjacked a woman’s car, fled from the scene, became a suspect in a pursuit, crashed the victim’s car, and was sentenced to five years ‘probation’. 

During his testimony in court he admitted to committing the crime, but didn’t believe he was responsible for the damage to the victim’s car.  When Judge Judy asked why not, he said: “It wasn’t my fault”.  When asked why not again, he said: “Because it was the police’s fault for chasing him”.

At the age of 16, and being raised in a low income area, this is somewhat understandable if he had irresponsible parents.  But, based on his father’s look of disgust and shame in the video, I doubt he intended to raise his son to be a criminal his entire life. 

Once again, evil turns out to be good.  And the police who are supposed to be good are made to look evil.  If you’re religious at all this should strike a loud cord with you..? 

Deliberation

Given the average murder case vs. a lesser gravity crime, deliberation is a bit more difficult because sentencing typically leads to greater prison sentences.  Potentially the defendant may be facing life in prison or the death penalty.  Consequently, juries are a bit slower to convict, often taking days to come to a consensus. 

However, this jury only took “10 hours”!  Not on one count of manslaughter or murder, but three!  Yes, 12 people managed to concur that the defendant is “beyond a reasonable doubt” guilty of murder and manslaughter — in ten hours!  Wow!

One must think that threatening jurists by making their home locations and phone numbers available to the public could have an influence on those citizens in the jury box.  Not to mention Maxine Waters making a blatant threat that if Chauvin isn’t found guilty of murder the public should riot and destroy property — starting with the jury’s!?  

Undoubtedly this case will see the appellate court and there might be a different outcome later.  In the meantime, the family of George Floyd has been awarded $27M!  Yes, a convicted felon who has spent years in prison for armed robbery and other crimes, and who is a known drug addict, has been raised to the level of sainthood — a martyr who ‘gave’ his life to save social justice (per Nancy Pelosi). 

Ah, but it gets even better!  Now that it has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt that “all police are brutal killers, dishonest liars, and cheats”, they must all be punished.   Enter the ‘George Floyd Justice in Policing Act‘.  This legalistic work of artistic design is intended to address all police in the entire nation — at the federal level.

But not to worry, it only contains nine small(?) changes to policing. 

  1. Ban no-knock warrants
  2. End “qualified immunity”
  3. Make it easier to prosecute police officers
  4. Prohibit racial, religious and discriminatory profiling by law enforcement
  5. Require local and state police agencies to use existing federal funds to ensure the use of body cameras *
  6. Create a national police misconduct registry**
  7. Use federal grants to help communities establish commissions to enact police reforms
  8. Address police militarization by limiting their military-grade equipment
  9. Enhance “pattern and practice” investigations of police departments by granting the Justice Department subpoena power

And about those little stars ( * ).  Note item 5:  An obvious camel nose ploy to insure the police do what you ask or they’ll pull your funds.  And item 6:  A registry to prevent police officers who are fired or pushed out for bad performance from being hired by any other agency “for life“. 

Conclusion

This is some scary action.  In every takeover where communism was the new order of the day, regular police were pushed aside to allow the ‘party’ to do whatever they wanted.  Typically they had their ‘brown shirts’ (Hitler), bolsheviks (Lenin), or any other quasi secret police arm (Stalin, Mao) to enforce whatever their mission was at the time — usually a takeover.

If your goal is to create enough chaos to take over a society, you can’t have a quasi military force (police) to get in your way.  If it is still there when you’re ready to make your move, they must be neutered and made ineffective.  We’re seeing the beginning of that action now.  Hopefully the majority of the American public will see through this tactic and others like it that are being used today..? 

The enemy are here folks.  The enemy is “us”.  We keep allowing government to make changes that are not good for us.  And because we’re asleep, apathetic, doubters, corrupt, or those already turned to the Marxist/communist agenda, we will continue on this path until we’re all learning Russian or Chinese.

Remember, “We surround them”.  You, can make a difference.  If nothing else, vote  intelligently — be informed!  Preferably with the truth.

 

America’s Next four years — Part 2

Before getting into the subject article, I’d like to explain the delay in writing Part-2 of this topic.  Due to a hard-drive crash my system was put totally out of service which required the replacement of the drive and a complete reload of the OS and all applications.  Needless to say, this cut quite a bit of time out of my already busy schedule.  Sorry for the delay.

If you haven’t read Part-1 of this topic, please do so as it sets up this second half of my projections.  Click here to access Part-1.  These are things you want to know and probably the only place you will them all together.

Long(er)-term Events

Attacking of Churches — We are already seeing discrimination against churches in America.  Numerous churches of various denominations have been closed, pastors arrested, and property fenced off to assure that no one even prays outside the church.

Before the current administration is done, I expect them to at least attempt eliminating the 501(c)(3) status from churches which will devastate the majority of them.  (Due to Covid, many churches are already in financial trouble.)  The intent of this move will be to eliminate churches in this country — a major blow to the 1st amendment — and another step toward American’s moral values atrophying.

What is the rationale for this action?  To eliminate any moral direction for our society with the ultimate goal of destroying capitalism.  Without a moral society, you cannot have a fully functional capitalistic country that works toward the betterment of everyone.

Unchecked Illegal Immigration — We are seeing this already, not surprisingly.  To bring on chaos, you often need to inject outside help.  Peasants from Mexico are great fodder for the Left to help bring on ‘the revolution’.

I really expect this to continue for years to come until either the next American revolution or civil war.

Totally Corrupted U.S. Elections — HR 1, being the first bill to be submitted in congress this year basically corrupts our election process.  Unaccountable ballots, submitted early, and processed by people directed and controlled by criminal elements will insure that no republican/conservative will sit in the Whitehouse again for the foreseeable future.  Please read this bill (link above).

Taxation Causing Systemic Destruction — We will see taxation so significant that it will impact all economic levels of our society.

One of the largest changes will be the inheritance tax proposed by the current administration.  It would mean a 50% tax on all wealth at the death of  a person(s) onto those inheriting that property or assets.  What that would mean, for example, is a couple who had been working their farm handed down for generations died, their children would have to pay HALF of its worth in taxes — which would mean the end of that farm being handed down to anyone forever.  Why?  Because that tax would annihilate the family farming business.

The End of the U.S. ‘Dollar’ — In the not too distant future we will see the U.S. (paper) dollar go away and be replaced by a new Digital Dollar.  (See EMTECH)  When that happens, we’ll see a whole new economy unveiled which will mean every dollar you receive or spend will be tracked by the federal government — every dollar.

It also implies that every dollar you spend can be taxed — like it or not, there’s no hiding money any longer — for anybody, even illegal aliens!

But as they say, “But wait there’s more!”

It also implies that they will be able to control “what” you spend your money on — or not.  For example, ammunition.  “Oh, but that would be unconstitutional”, you say.  Don’t get ahead.

Needless to say, given just a little thought, you can see how this could get really ugly.  For the sake of brevity, I’ll stop on this subject here.

Neutering of Police — This has already begun starting with the de-funding of law enforcement across the country.  But this will get worse, much worse, left with no sizable push-back.

The Left sees ‘the problem’ as the indiscriminate killing of minorities across America.  (Ignore reality — more whites are killed every year than any minority group.)  Their solution thus far has been the controlling of police via laws, monitoring, de-funding, and the political pressuring of their hierarchy.

What we may see soon is for them to define new ‘positions’ in law enforcement that ‘do not require guns’.  And I do not suggest positions of those working in offices, but on the street.  Already we have on the news political pressure to take away guns of officers who make vehicle stops.  Crazy?  Hell yes!  But we have elected officials today who speak not from experience, but political opinion.  A very dangerous approach to management.

Most police agencies are police departments (PDs).  These organizations are overseen by small political groups.   e.g., mayors and councilmen  That smaller select group of elected people have the power to not only tell the PD what they can and can’t do, but to fire their leader on the spot and reappoint someone else — possibly less qualified, or worse, politically connected.  This can obviously be potentially catastrophic.  Which, if you watch the news you will see the venues with chaotic scenes are often policed by PDs.  e.g., Seattle, Portland, etc.

What is the alternative you ask?  Sheriffs.  Sheriffs are elected officials who only answer to one body — their electorate (that’s you!).  No mayor, no governor, or state official can make a sheriff do anything.  As stated, they respond to their electorate or face not being re-elected.  That is why when you see a police official on TV making statements on what they ‘will not do’, they are typically sheriffs — one of the highest law enforcement entities in the country.

So what does this have to do with our future?  As they take more dramatic actions against the police and/or make policing so difficult that the police become totally incapable of policing due to manpower, etc., we will see progressively more chaos in our country which is what the Socialists/Marxists want — revolution.  (Stay tuned this summer.)

Just watch what is happening with the police and you’ll have a good idea of where we are as a society.

Loss of Property Rights — This is one of the basic laws of communism.  Once there is enough power in place to control the people of the country, property ownership will begin to fade.  In my opinion, this has already begun.

If your sources of information are inside the national news media (ABC, NBC, etc.), you will not learn of this issue until it is way too late.  But it has already begun.

The homeless situation in this country is growing at a very fast clip.  Tens of thousands of people are living in the streets all across America.  But you typically have to look for the evidence or you’ll not know the country’s true economic status.  For example there are 60,000-70,000 homeless in the city of Los Angeles alone.  But the really bad news is these numbers are growing rapidly.  But there’s something even more frightening on the horizon.

Last year I learned of the feds buying ‘equities’ with ‘printed money’.  You should know that the federal government is not actually printing money, but ‘digitizing it’ (U.S. Treasuries).  Consequently, they need something to spend that money on or it just sits on a disk drive somewhere spinning around going nowhere.

Well, they’ve found a great place to spend that money, lots of money!  Equities.  “So what does equities mean”, you ask?  They are buying up mortgages.  i.e., home loans

I learned this late last year and have been tracking this activity this year.  Earlier this year I found several articles (Yahoo Financial) stating that the feds were buying mortgages at the rate of $40B per month!  But just this last week I learned that they stepped up their game by another $50B/month!  Hold that thought for a minute.

Remember the ‘bubble’ of 2007-2008?  That was all about real estate.  The banks were giving out loans, like candy to kids — no proof of a job, no credit, etc.  They’d create the loans with customers, buy more from other banks, bundle them up, and then sell them to yet another larger bank.  Eventually, when the recession hit, the bubble popped!  What followed?  The banks got bailed out.!? To mitigate this problem laws were past requiring the banks to increase their ‘reserves’.  Reserves are money that the bank has for a ‘rainy day’.  If loans are defaulted, the reserves make up the difference.  And then everything really went down hill — and you know the rest.

In our current situation the feds are buying up those loans.  And what has been going on over the last year?  A lot of people have not been paying off their home loans — or renters paying their rent.  Now today (so far) we have over 1.7M homeowners who are in arrears by 10-15 months!!

When a foreclosure happens, the person holding the note on the loan gets the property or first right of ownership.  But if the feds own the loan, that means that they get ownership of the property.  But as we all know they can’t even run a whorehouse.  e.g., Nevada Chicken Ranch

So, I speculate that they will kill two birds with one grenade in the future — fill the repossessed homes with homeless people.  “No way”, you state.  Ah, but we’re already building new homes for the homeless.  Why not give away used homes?

I can  understand doing this in a minor way, but based on the information I received last year, the feds in December last year had already accumulated $6.5T in mortgages!!  How many homes is that?

Let’s face it, the ‘signs’ should be getting more clear for even the ostriches in this country.  It’s time for them to pull their head out….

ESG Scores & Oligarchy — The beginning of this new tool is being developed NOW.  But in the not too distant future it may well rule our lives (along with digital currency).  So what is ESG?

Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) — This is the new model for ‘controlling’ Americans.  You’ve seen how Covid has been used to control people and organizations from the federal level down to the smallest business.  And it hasn’t been pretty.  Give a little man power and he ‘grows’ exponentially sometimes.

So what is ESG?

  • Environmental — Everyone will be measured by their effort to be environmentally responsible.  If you have too big of a carbon footprint, your score lowers.  If you: drive a gas guzzler, lower score;  fly too much, down some more, etc.
  • Social (Justice) — You must follow the direction of the herd.  If you think BLM is bad, lower score.  If you think the police are good, even lower yet.  If you think the current cop of the day suspect shouldn’t be found guilty, you’re in the toilet!
  • Governance — You must be a good party member and follow what the government wants, else, even lower yet.

This ESG scoring process will be predominantly administered by corporations and banks.  The net result of this new system, that is in place now and growing, is that if your score is too low you won’t be able to do things, buy things, go places, etc. until that score is improved.  And, if your score is ‘too low’, you may need (re) education.

This is being implemented now at many of the large banking systems.  (Again, see: EMTECH )  Which means, you may not be able to buy that house you were wanting.

The Big Four — There are four objectives the Left have that will determine our fate in the near future.  They are:  Get rid of the filibuster; Pass HR 1; Pack the supreme court; and nullify the 2nd amendment.  And I suggest they will be attacked in that order.

  • Get rid of the filibuster –(Definition: A parliamentary procedure where one or more members of Parliament or Congress debate over a proposed piece of legislation to delay or entirely cut off debate.  Typically used by the minority party.)  This means whatever the majority wants, they will get it.  With democrats in the majority they can change a LOT!!
  • Pass HR 1 (see ‘Totally Corrupted U.S. Elections’ above) — Having eliminated the filibuster means that the democrats can maintain control of the House and Senate as long as the filibuster remains a dead issue — for decades..?  Which means that the democrats can make/pass laws without as much as a whimper from the Right.
  • Pack the supreme court — By packing the court and putting activist judges in place, the democrats can use that court to rule unconstitutional issues as constitutionally irrelevant.  Hence, they can get around the constitution itself.  They have pulled this off recently with the help of justice Roberts.
  • Nullify the 2nd amendment — With the supreme court out of the way, the 2nd amendment is in dire straits — along with the rest of the Constitution and Bill of Rights.  If the Left can eliminate this high priority issue in our constitution, it is the only thing standing in the way of the Marxist Left keeping them from flipping America to a soviet state.  Venezuela and other countries like it were flipped what seemed like over night once the people’s ability to protect themselves or fight back was taken away.  In the end, it only took months to flip that country, and look at Venezuela now.

If you don’t want to see the USA become the USSA, Americans must wake up and figure out where we are, and have been, under attack from inside, and outside of this country.

We should love America the way it has been, not what it is becoming.  If not, we can become the United Socialist States of America — aka, USSA.

America’s Next four years — Part 1

The video above is of the Lake Dunlap dam located in Lake Dunlap, Texas (just north of San Antonio). It has been determined that dam has not been properly maintained for decades. During that time minor cracks and weak points were created by the daily stresses put on it for years.

But one day, the dam gave way without any warning or obvious rationale for it completely giving way — rapidly! (Watch the video now.) And much like that dam, America has been stressed by the Marxists in this country for decades with the objective of ‘flipping’ this country from a capitalist society to a socialist one — aka, communist state.

Much like the dam story, communism moves quietly and insidiously over time. More people today are becoming aware of communism, but too often they believe it takes decades to get there — and they are right. But what they don’t understand is that the majority of the changes needed were done quietly and without fanfare over recent decades. Consequently, very soon, our dam can break. And it will appear to have happened with no obvious reason(s).

For over one hundred years America has been attacked by what we call today “The Left”. But in simple language, the Left is ultimately communism. Forget all of the synonyms, just call it for what it is — evil. Not just America, but the entire world is witnessing good and evil at war over who will rule over mankind. (Yes, I said ‘man’ kind. It’s an older term, but one that was used often in America before the crazies took charge.)

If there is a turnaround for America in our future, I predict it will be due to a painful significant event. What event you ask? For example a civil (bloody) war, total economic collapse, or world war. What happens over the next few years will determine our fate for decades.

What I attempt to do in this article is share with you things that I project to happen over the next two and four year time-frames — my short-term and long term projections. They will be classified as such below. Some of those things have already started and may go on for years. Others, the longer term items, may happen sooner that I expect. (Timing is always difficult to estimate correctly.) However, things are happening today at a very fast pace which makes projecting time frames even more difficult. And, things will continue to accelerate for the near future.

Before going into my list, lets look at the current path of America. We are moving rapidly toward an oligarchy. (A political system governed by a few people or corporations. e.g., Facebook, Twitter, et al) This is very similar to how China has been functioning for years. The communist party (CCP) use their large corporations to control their citizens and finance the CCP. This is what is in store for us in the near future if the Left goes unchecked.

The following is a list of ‘tools’ they intend to use to get Americans to comply. We are under attack, believe it. As the Russians said after WWII, “You will be destroyed from within.” And you can believe they had their people here in America after WWII. And worse, the Chinese now have thousands of spies in this country (and outside hacking). We ARE at war. We’re just experiencing Phase-1 of it.

What’s happening in the near term, is the Marxists in America are trying to create chaos. If they build up enough, it will become a revolution. If we reach a level of revolution, that is when they will incorporate the final steps of creating a soviet state in our country.

Short-term Events

Attacking of the 1st Amendment

Most people by now should recognize the process of eliminating the freedom of speech is in full swing. The federal government has a symbiotic relationship with major corporations within America to act as ‘filters’ of what is incorrect speech. What we will see as a result, is the progression of this process getting more stringent every year in the near future. If you control the speech, you control the power of the people. They obviously control the media and its speech to a very large degree already. Eventually we will see the government, with the help of corporations, pressure people into conforming through control of money exchanges and limitation of where you can go and what you can do. A very powerful tool!

Apps like Parler and other services or businesses are being censored via technology already. Many news services such as The Epoch Times news service are being cut down at the knees by killing their revenue stream. Using avenues like YouTube, Facebook, et al, it is easy to get the giant corporations to stop all advertisements on those platforms. This will obviously kill off any truth in the news — what little there is now.

The FCC Fairness Doctrine was introduced in 1949 and was an attempt to kill AM (conservative) talk radio. But with pressure from the Right, it was subsequently eliminated — after years of debate in the courts and congress — in 2011 with great opposition from the Left. (Go figure?!)

I expect to see this ugly ‘rule’ to rear it’s ugly head again in the not too distant future along with the ‘Net Neutrality‘ act (regulation of ISPs and what can/cannot be distributed on the internet).

Because he just passed a few days ago, I should not that Rush Limbaugh was key to making AM radio a success with the conservative talk format in 1987. He was the true father of talk radio. Since, no Left leaning radio station has had any impact remotely equal to Rush’s show.

The bottom line is that the Left wants to control to a large degree what is shared on the radio airwaves and the internet — just like public television which is almost totally skewed to the Left with horrible disingenuous information. The obvious intent is to feed the ‘sheep’ propaganda until they believe everything the Left wants them to… comrade.

Attacking of the 2nd Amendment

Before Trump’s term was even completed, the NRA was under attack by the Left with numerous lawsuits which regardless of their standing, they cost the NRA dearly with the objective of bankrupting them out of business — which they filed for in 2020. The state of New York became so unfriendly, that the NRA had to move to Texas to sidestep many of those attacks.

Now we are just a few weeks into the new administration and H.R. 127 is already being proposed as a ‘reasonable’ solution toward gun control. It’s draconian rules would ultimately and very effectively end the 2nd amendment. With the creation of a weapons database held by the feds, the locating of gun ownership would make that ownership short lived. And worse, that would leave only criminals with guns to commit crimes — with no one to stop them. You could point to the police, but they can’t be everywhere at all times.

And by now everyone should know that gun ownership is the only thing standing between freedom in America and slavery of a sort. Just like in every other country that was ‘flipped’ to communism, America too would find itself defenseless against a totalitarian government fixated on ruling its people. (Which we are witnessing the beginning of already.) This is typically one of the later steps taken in a ‘takeover’, but our situation may be different. Biden had only been in office for a week and this very complicated and extensive bill was put on the agenda. Which means, that it was created long before he was even elected.

This one change in our constitution (effectively) is enough to start a civil war or revolution — which is exactly what the Left wants. Citizens will put up with a lot, but in America you’d best not mess with their ability to protect themselves and their families.

Criminal’s Rights and Crime Control (or lack of)

For years now criminals have been rather quietly being released from prison with the reason of ‘social justice’. We are being told that imprisonment is unjust. Bail being set for an arrest is not fair, only if the offender cannot afford bail. If you’re not ‘poor’, they you must pay bail to be released. Keeping people in a jail to await trial is wrong (for the ‘poor’ only). Consequently ten of thousands of felons are being released back onto our streets where they can victimize even more people.

And now the current administration is ordering that all privately managed federal prisons (and possibly state prisons) be eliminated. Considering the majority of prisons today are managed by security companies, that could be catastrophic! It should be obvious that with this objective, and the elimination of the 2nd amendment, widespread chaos would rule the day.

But to make things even worse, the Left plans on importing more criminals into our country via our southern border. It is not to say that all Hispanic people are criminals, but a disproportionate number are unfortunately. After all, millions of people would love to live in America. But they get in line and try to get here ‘the right way’. Hence, those who steal their way across the border are more likely to commit crimes. e.g., MS13 gang members.

In just a few years — like by the end of Biden’s term in office — this country would have a crime and death rate unequaled in the world.

Continued Moral Decay

When people see others speed on the road and not get stopped, then they often want equal ‘right’ to speed. When people are rude on the road and anger others, a tit-for-tat mentality is developed. Next thing you know, chaos is occurring on our highways. Have you witnessed this at all recently? Has your behavior changed over the last few years?

Have you seen progressively more explicit sexual and violent scenes on TV or in the movies? Is it getting more frequent? Are those sexual scenes becoming more like pornography? Is behavior of those you know getting better or worse? The answers to these questions will give you insight as to what to expect in the near future. Put together with the criminal behavior we’re witnessing we will be living out the movie ‘Escape from New York’ in just a few years.

Based on these ‘few’ issues you should see that our immediate future is looking a bit grim. But these are only the few to begin this multi-part article. This is Part-1 with Part-2 coming next and possibly 3 & 4 to follow.

We are in a very bad place with few fighting for your rights. Too many senators (and congressmen), much like in the days of the Roman empire, are looking out for #1. Your comfort is a distant thought in too many of our leaders.

Please share this article and the follow-on articles with those who will listen. Knowing what is coming is power. Having any semblance of power gives you the opportunity to alter your life as needed to survive. I fear too many people will be caught blind…

Propaganda & Gas-Lighting

Propaganda: The Art of Selling Lies

Our country has been manipulated more than previous history since the advent of television. It has been the most successful technology invented for decades — until now. With the creation of the various social media software systems, we are now being manipulated even worse than before.

Please read the following and think about what you’re being told and why.

The communist goals for America spell out the Left’s plan to destroy us. The propaganda is getting so insane that they are to the point of imitating ‘Bagdad Bob’ (an Iraqi social commentator) who said they were winning the U.S.-Iraq war and beating the enemy back while American tanks drove behind him on TV..? [Sound familiar?]

Goal #20 states: “Infiltrate the press. Get control of book review assignments, editorial writing, and policy making positions.” [Change history so society accepts what you preach.]

Goal #21 states: “Gain control of key positions in radio,TV, and motion pictures.” [Hollywood is rife with ‘progressive thinkers’ — aka – socialists.]

The propaganda in the media is getting so insane today that it is to the point of imitating ‘Bagdad Bob’ (an Iraqi social commentator) who said Iraq was winning the U.S.-Iraq war and beating the enemy back, while American tanks drove behind him on TV..? [Sound familiar?]

Now we are experiencing ‘Gas Lighting‘ which is synonymous with what we are witnessing today.

Gaslighting:

The term originates in the systematic psychological manipulation of a victim by her husband in Patrick Hamilton’s 1938 stage play Gas Light, and the film adaptations released in 1940 and 1944. In the story, the husband attempts to convince his wife and others that she is insane by manipulating small elements of their environment and insisting that she is mistaken, remembering things incorrectly, or delusional when she points out these changes. The play’s title alludes to how the abusive husband slowly dims the gas lights in their home, while pretending nothing has changed, in an effort to make his wife doubt her own perceptions. The wife repeatedly asks her husband to confirm her perceptions about the dimming lights, but in defiance of reality, he keeps insisting that the lights are the same and instead it is she who is going insane.

Today we are living in a perpetual state of gas-lighting. The reality that we are being told by the media is at complete odds with what we are seeing with our own two eyes. And when we question the false reality that we are being presented, or we claim that what we see is that actual reality, we are vilified as racist or bigots or just plain crazy. You’re not racist. You’re not crazy. You’re being gas-lighted.

New York State has twice as many deaths from Covid-19 than any other state, and New York has accounted for one fifth of all Covid-19 deaths, but we are told that New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has handled the pandemic better than any other governor. But if we support policies of Governors whose states had only a fraction of the infections and deaths as New York, were called anti-science and want people to die. So, we ask ourselves, am I crazy? No, you’re being gas-lighted.

We see mobs of people looting stores, smashing windows, setting cars on fire and burning down buildings, but we are told that these demonstrations are peaceful protests, and when we call this destruction of our cities, riots, we are called racists. So, we ask ourselves, am I crazy? No, you’re being gas-lighted.

We see the major problem destroying many inner-cities is crime; murder, gang violence, drug dealing, drive-by shootings, armed robbery, but we are told that it is not crime, but the police that are the problem in the inner-cities. We are told we must de-fund the police and remove law enforcement from crime-riddled cities to make them safer But if we advocate for more policing in cities overrun by crime, we are accused of being white supremacists and racists. So, we ask ourselves, am I crazy? No, you’re being gas-lighted.

Communist countries killed over 100 million people in the 20th century. Communist countries strip their citizens of basic human rights, dictate every aspect of their lives, treat their citizens as slaves, and drive their economies into the ground, but we are told that Communism is the fairest, most equitable, freest, and most prosperous economic system in the world. So, we ask ourselves, am I crazy? No, you’re being gas-lighted.

The most egregious example of gas-lighting is the concept of white fragility. You spend your life trying to be a good person, trying to treat people fairly and with respect. You disavow racism and bigotry in all its forms. You judge people solely on the content of their character and not by the color of their skin. You don’t discriminate based on race or ethnicity. But you are told you are a racist, not because of something you did or said, but solely because of the color of your skin. You know instinctively that charging someone with racism because of their skin color is itself racist. Yet, you are told that your defense of yourself is proof of your racism. So, we ask ourselves, am I crazy? No, you’re being gas-lighted.

Gas-lighting has become one of the most pervasive and destructive tactics in American politics. It is the exact opposite of what our political system was meant to be. It deals in lies and psychological coercion, and not the truth and intellectual discourse. If you ever ask yourself if you’re crazy, you are not. Crazy people aren’t sane enough to ask themselves if they are crazy. So, trust yourself, believe what’s in your heart. Trust your eyes over what you are told. Never listen to the people who tell you that you are crazy, because you are not, you’re being gas-lighted.

Sophocles once said: “What people believe prevails over the truth.”

And that’s what the media is trying to exploit.

Stay tuned… it’s going to get a lot worse — until America wakes up!!

A Hated President’s Accomplishments in “One Term”

First, to clarify the Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) — it is not about hate, but it is about fear.   The Left has feared Trump since before being elected as president of the United States.  They fear him because he is the antithesis of what they stand for — control, power, and oppression.  And understand that the definition of ‘Left’ today is progressivism, Marxism, and communism — very similar to China’s communist party rule today.  That, ladies and gentlemen is where we are headed now.

America is not about hate.  It is not about racism.  It is about freedom.  The freedom to live your life independently and without suppression.  Typically you don’t need a bureaucrat breathing down your neck telling you what is right or wrong, good or bad.  YOU  are typically capable of making those decisions without someone who has typically accomplished nothing of significance. 

You, as well anyone else in this country, should be able to succeed “on your merit” without outside influence unless asked for.

Ask yourself, would you discard someone who could accomplish this much in a country being overrun by bureaucrats and political bullies?

So now that you read all of that, how do you feel about such a man now?   Do you think you might vote for him in 2024?  Understand that only half of Americans (allegedly) dislike Trump, the other half love him!  Which half do you think is taking this country down?  Which should be obvious by now..?
