Washington's Vision

This afternoon, as I was sitting at this table engaged in preparing a dispatch, something seemed to disturb me. Looking up, I beheld standing opposite me a singularly beautiful female. So astonished was I, for I had given strict orders not to be disturbed, that it was some moments before I found language to inquire the cause of her presence. A second, a third and even a fourth time did I repeat my question, but received no answer from my mysterious visitor except a slight raising of her eyes.
By this time I felt strange sensations spreading through me. I would have risen but the riveted gaze of the being before me rendered volition impossible. I assayed once more to address her, but my tongue had become useless, as though it had become paralyzed.
A new influence, mysterious, potent, irresistible, took possession of me. All I could do was to gaze steadily, vacantly at my unknown visitor. Gradually the surrounding atmosphere seemed as if it had become filled with sensations, and luminous. Everything about me seemed to rarefy, the mysterious visitor herself becoming more airy and yet more distinct to my sight than before. I now began to feel as one dying, or rather to experience the sensations which I have sometimes imagined accompany dissolution. I did not think, I did not reason, I did not move; all were alike impossible. I was only conscious of gazing fixedly, vacantly at my companion.
Presently I heard a voice saying, "Son of the Republic, look and learn," while at the same time my visitor extended her arm eastwardly, I now beheld a heavy white vapor at some distance rising fold upon fold. This gradually dissipated, and I looked upon a stranger scene. Before me lay spread out in one vast plain all the countries of the world — Europe, Asia, Africa and America. I saw rolling and tossing between Europe and America the billows of the Atlantic, and between Asia and America lay the Pacific.
"Son of the Republic," said the same mysterious voice as before, "look and learn." At that moment I beheld a dark, shadowy being, like an angel, standing or rather floating in mid-air, between Europe and America. Dipping water out of the ocean in the hollow of each hand, he sprinkled some upon America with his right hand, while with his left hand he cast some on Europe. Immediately a cloud raised from these countries, and joined in mid-ocean. For a while it remained stationary, and then moved slowly westward, until it enveloped America in its murky folds. Sharp flashes of lightning gleamed through it at intervals, and I heard the smothered groans and cries of the American people.
A second time the angel dipped water from the ocean, and sprinkled it out as before. The dark cloud was then drawn back to the ocean, in whose heaving billows in sank from view. A third time I heard the mysterious voice saying, "Son of the Republic, look and learn," I cast my eyes upon America and beheld villages and towns and cities springing up one after another until the whole land from the Atlantic to the Pacific was dotted with them.
Again, I heard the mysterious voice say, "Son of the Republic, the end of the century cometh, look and learn." At this the dark shadowy angel turned his face southward, and from Africa I saw an ill omened specter approach our land. It flitted slowly over every town and city of the latter. The inhabitants presently set themselves in battle array against each other. As I continued looking I saw a bright angel, on whose brow rested a crown of light, on which was traced the word "Union," bearing the American flag which he placed between the divided nation, and said, "Remember ye are brethren." Instantly, the inhabitants, casting from them their weapons became friends once more, and united around the National Standard.
"And again I heard the mysterious voice saying "Son of the Republic, look and learn." At this the dark, shadowy angel placed a trumpet to his mouth, and blew three distinct blasts; and taking water from the ocean, he sprinkled it upon Europe, Asia and Africa. Then my eyes beheld a fearful scene: From each of these countries arose thick, black clouds that were soon joined into one. Throughout this mass there gleamed a dark red light by which I saw hordes of armed men, who, moving with the cloud, marched by land and sailed by sea to America. Our country was enveloped in this volume of cloud, and I saw these vast armies devastate the whole county and burn the villages, towns and cities that I beheld springing up. As my ears listened to the thundering of the cannon, clashing of sword, and the shouts and cries of millions in mortal combat, I heard again the mysterious voice saying, "Son of the Republic, look and learn" When the voice had ceased, the dark shadowy angel placed his trumpet once more to his mouth, and blew a long and fearful blast. "Instantly a light as of a thousand suns shone down from above me, and pierced and broke into fragments the dark cloud which enveloped America. At the same moment the angel upon whose head still shone the word Union, and who bore our national flag in one hand and a sword in the other, descended from the heavens attended by legions of white spirits. These immediately joined the inhabitants of America, who I perceived were will nigh overcome, but who immediately taking courage again, closed up their broken ranks and renewed the battle.
Again, amid the fearful noise of the conflict, I heard the mysterious voice saying, "Son of the Republic, look and learn." As the voice ceased, the shadowy angel for the last time dipped water from the ocean and sprinkled it upon America. Instantly the dark cloud rolled back, together with the armies it had brought, leaving the inhabitants of the land victorious!
Then once more I beheld the villages, towns and cities springing up where I had seen them before, while the bright angel, planting the azure standard he had brought in the midst of them, cried with a loud voice: "While the stars remain, and the heavens send down dew upon the earth, so long shall the Union last." And taking from his brow the crown on which blazoned the word "Union," he placed it upon the Standard while the people, kneeling down, said, "Amen."
The scene instantly began to fade and dissolve, and I at last saw nothing but the rising, curling vapor I at first beheld. This also disappearing, I found myself once more gazing upon the mysterious visitor, who, in the same voice I had heard before, said, "Son of the Republic, what you have seen is thus interpreted: Three great perils will come upon the Republic. The most fearful is the third, but in this greatest conflict the whole world united shall not prevail against her. Let every child of the Republic learn to live for his God, his land and the Union." With these words the vision vanished, and I started from my seat and felt that I had seen a vision wherein had been shown to me the birth, progress, and destiny of the United States.

This has appeared with variation now around the web. 

Many have said it is fiction.  Some say it's real.

Supposedly at Valley Forge when Washington is depicted engaging in prayer.  He did indeed enlist the help of Providence and I believe it was God's hand that turned the tide for Liberty.

If it is fiction, perhaps it was a story best encased as such. As a writer, I can tell you that messages best get across in the fantastic.  Ideas are born and spread with enough story to give them a vehicle.

Research this and decide for yourselves.

I believe it's appropriate food for thought for what has happened and may ensue for the US in the months to come.

Uncommon Denominator

I've posted re fear before.  That goes for isolation as well.  The goal of the darkside is to dispirit us, to cause us to give up.

What the fallen count on is a result of their attitude toward humans and God's Creation.  They hate it.  They hate us.  It is unfathomable and ancient beyond time. 

Most important here is that attitude.  Because they despise us they treat us like cattle, beneath them. That is their mistake.  Pride came before the fall.  It still does with spirit and its human minions, the elitists etal.

Some of you may not consider this relevant.  Or you thinks it's nuts.  Ok.  I would never force anyone to believe what I do.  Follow your road to Freedom and Restoration of the Republic as you will.  However, I'm dealing with the basis of what's happening.

When people wake up and realize they have been/are being played, there is a mixture of thought /emotion.  Channeling anger to oppose this pride/control is utmost.  Get to thinking, knowing how the enemy operates, and dissemble their plans.  Know your enemy.

What's happening currently is encouraging.  We need to keep waking people up at least to temporal tyranny and how far gone we've sunk.  It's obvious, noting the way not only how the President is being treated, but all of us who seek Liberty that things are dire.

Study how the collectivists operate.  It's all over msm, social media even ftf encounters.  Violent, hateful derisive.  An over emphasis on Alinsky 5?  Yes but read all the rules.  Know your enemy.

Realize it's all control and the end goal is total worldwide control.  Those who would be our masters hate us knowing that and countering it bit by bit cogently.

And their weakness is treating us as I said before, like cattle.  And their hate is predictable.

Lies and half truths are still the disorder of the day.  Censorship is on the rise.  Opposition to senseless war, to squelching health and technological achievements, to nationalism and self determination are all over socalled current events.

Collectivism is the battering ram to dissemble and demolish US and the world.  These united States are the major stumbling block.  And we are still doing as the Founders did, lighting brushfires of Freedom in the minds of men and women not only here but all over the world.

Don't just react.  Use initiative.  Deliver.  Sitting round and getting upset at the latest collectivist outrage does little.

Be an uncommon denominator.  Shock the unshockable with truth and forthrightness.

Jingles

No not Andy Devine's character, Jingles P. Jones the sidekick on Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok.

It's the sound of coinage.

Money makes the world go around.  Well, finances, commodities etc do.  The paper is just that.  Though one might consider exchange, fluidity, value.

I've been asked how I can do what I want to do if I have no money.  Well, I can't.  I'm working on the means, the oil for the sticky gears.

I've waited for the right time and place.  It's like I reach out while opportunity searches for me.  Soon we'll meet. 

Business associations must be approached cautiously.  Nothing is perfect but one can create an advantageous situation. 

Of, by, for, through the Light.  No deals with darkness.  Is it possible in showbiz?  Yes.  It can be so anywhere.

My choice of work may seem peculiar, but it just boils down to content of character and good perception.

I've met people, as it were, maybe beings more like, who are not honest.  Some are downright evil.  We run into those anywhere.

There are those who seek to control and/or destroy.  The warped power motivates them.  I've not let them. 

I have met many who are honest, of the Light if you will.  They build, valuing themselves and others.  My advice is to set your sights for such, to search and find as they do too, those who are good.

It's always more than money.  It's timing, mutual benefit and having the sense to find like minds.

You'll find arguments, artistic differences, consideration tossed about.  That's key those considerations.  True compromise springs from it.

That's not the take an inch then a mile way.  It's altering some elements to suit a set of circumstances.

To keep a vision that's true.  To NOT compromise on key elements.  That's the money maker.

Thanks for indulging this post.

I have a lot to do but will til my last breath blog.  I owe it and my associations through it more than I can say.

I promise to keep my efforts with Freedom in mind.  The Light of Liberty guides my path.

I will make my profits work not just for me but for others.

Jingles are a unique music by which I sing my song.

Further Bonding

Books have been written about all kinds of themes, emphases etc re JB.

There is much much more round the net and literary circles.

I'm interested in the serious even graphic theme of the last 4 movies.

They are the most serious consistently of all the series.  Then again they are a 'reboot' dealing with Bond's double O status and a connection of events that culminate incrementally through the last 4.

Forgive me if I reveal plot if you haven't seen them.  Do it anyway.  They may entertain and provoke thought as well.

Unlike before, it gets rather Freudian what with M as a mother figure (though she had been around in the 4 previous Bonds prior to the reboot), Blofeld as a brother figure and emphasis on Bond being orphaned.

Bond is much more acerbic and humor is usually sardonic though actually well done. 

Gadgets are rarer with Bond relying on his wits and sometimes allies.  It boils down to him versus the baddies though, especially the big ones, who all lead to the chief villain, Blofeld.

There are personal demons concerning love and unfinished business.  But Bond is resolute.  He cares and is indeed imbued with what Fleming referred to as patriotism and courage.

He is at his most vulnerable yet at his strongest.

He is also a his most rogue, all through the reboot.  Independent thinking/acting agents are actually rarer these days.  There must be some.  Rigidity results in breakage, while flexibility tends toward success.  Debated only by some usually liberal/neocon types vs nationalists serving their country.

OHMSS has a major moment near the end though.  Bond goes outside SS and teams with Draco to rescue Tracy.

Then in TLD it is hinted and in LTK fulfilled when Bond resigns and pursues those who murdered his best friend's bride and maims his best friend.  Perhaps this stuff was too early, but it rings well with me.

But current success has been achieved with Bond maintaining a sort of edgewise working relationship with SS while independent action is taken.  Eventually this is done by the new M, Q and Moneypenny to stop Spectre, now a full fledged worldwide elitist tool of control.

Aside from that, in Skyfall there is a scene here the previous M quotes Tennyson re striving, seeking, finding and not yielding.  It refs fighting evil aka threats to the country to Freedom and all it encompasses. See Ulysses, Tennyson's poem, for ref and interpretation.

As a sideline, this poem is a favorite of Commander Sinclair on Babylon 5.  He is/was a hero who also sacrificed much for Freedom.

Note as M recites, Silva shoots his way through all the security and raids the meeting of politicians at which M is present.  Note how Bond, Mallory and Moneypenny literally shot back.  Criminals/terrorists don't follow the law.  Arm the Brits?  Hmm.......  Liberals/statists point out it was trained people.  So?  Then again most of us won't encounter a psycho like Silva.  Or might some of us on some level?

When might some of us be called upon to defend ourselves from brigands on various levels?  Not a PPK vs a chopper perhaps.  Perhaps.

With the BoR limiting tyrannical gov, might we have to think outside the box in defense of selves and others?

BTW, if you aren't familiar with Bond movies, then I've given you something to do -s-.

Bond Love

Sure I love James Bond, books (Ian particularly) and movies.

In the 80s there was an American fan club before the famous Brit 007 one.  It had a fan mag called Bondage.  I still have them -s-.  They are chock full of background, bios and minutiae.

Ian Fleming's character personally captured my imagination long ago.  I started reading his novels in junior high and shortly followed the movies.

Now, my enthusiasm hasn't flagged, but I certainly am older and wiser?  Well, I have seen and done things, lived my life.  Yet, Bond remains well loved, more textured and he is the white knight I have always admired.

Oh oh.  White knight has nothing to do with all this collectivist hype re supremacism.  It has everything to do with virtue.

A hard living guy who drinks and womanizes?  Yes.  He has a hard job and lives on the edge to compensate.  It all goes far beyond teenage fantasies.

Fleming said he gave his hero few virtues save for patriotism and courage.  Not bad then nor now.  We need such in droves.

Bond battles evil which seeks to destroy mankind.  He literally slugs it out with psychopaths not unlike those in real life.

He has doubts, fears, is a rough guy.  Knights have never been easy dudes.  Their job was rough and so are they.  They care and so they fight evil, not a gentle job.

It's interesting to note that so many socalled liberals adulate Fleming and Bond as do those of us who value Freedom.  Why?

They have an agent of the state.  We have someone willing to break the rules to accomplish a goal.  We both live vicariously.  Yet, I see our hero as someone to emulate as far as fighting for Freedom goes.  To me that is virtually limitless.

I think libs secretly can be naughty and break their collectivist rules fictionally.  They see Bond as that state agent who enforces its will.

I see him as someone who protects ultimately people and their striving to be free.

Libs see the villains as people who fight the state.

I see them as psychopaths who embrace forms of collectivism.  They wish to kill us to make us bend to their will.

Bond seeks to liberate people so they might live their own lives.

Debate all you want.

I'm going for my annual watching of the films.  Then I watch Danger Man, then The Prisoner and also The Man From UNCLE first season.  More on that later.

As the Thunderball lyrics say, his fight goes on and on and on.

So must ours.

Millstones

I've mentioned how all groups, racial, tribal, social etal encompass all kinds of people.  Good bad inbetween.  All flawed yet reach for the heights or depths.

Most have read/heard the passage concerning Jesus' love of children/innocence and his warning to those who defile.

Storytime featuring drag queens is not sex ed.  It is child rape 'disguised' to confuse kids who are in formative years.

I've met and known drag queens.  These creatures are not.  It's another attempt by child rapists to become 'legitimate'. 

Confused people, whatever the core and cause, are more easily controlled.  And kids should develop naturally, not have anything forced. 

I could be attacked for what I've just written.  Because cultural Marxism doesn't handle scrutiny well.

We now have a mixture of the aforementioned and child rape.  One of the profligate creatures even admitted in court they were grooming kids as though he was bragging.  It is NOT drag, which is adult entertainment.  Often the guys imitate celebrities.  These creatures mimic demonic forms.

Call me overly dramatic alarmist or delusional.  I am not.  Not drag queen I know would encourage kids to 'experiment'.

Kids learn and with guidance approach sexuality with parental guidance.  They are NOT ready in any way shape or form to be active sexual beings.

Sometimes kids explore.  Show me is curiosity.  It is perverted by child rapists.

I remember an innocent kiss on the cheek by a girl when we were preschool.  That was it.

There was no lust or obsession when I saw pretty girls.  I just knew I liked them.

Sexualizing kids is simply another trick collectivists use to subvert. stability.

It is also a direct affront to Jesus' love of children.  Innocence perverted.

Child rapists reap what they sow.  I have seen this too.  Collectivism has its own consequences.

Millstone was putting it mildly.

Gain

It's a relative term.

Paraphrasing Scripture, 'What if a man gains the whole world but loses his soul'.  Sounds drastic and is.  It happens.  Greed wins instead of balance and wisdom for wielding power.

Weight gain can be good or bad.  To the over indulgent, it's destructive.  To the starving, it can be new health.

For those who have lost people, there is no exact replacement.  But there is love.  It never dies and grows, with others coming into a life. 

Things sometimes can be replaced.  A new beginning beckons to start again.  For the irreplaceable, there is memory.

If memories fade, there is hope for a cure or at least that others won't desert you.

Learning from mistakes.  Applying experience.  At least leaving a bit of light, love, good for others.

Financial sacrifice for a better dividend, a better Republic.  Profit and loss.  Give and take.  Cause and effect.

Responsibility.  Moral turpitude or decency.  Taking on that which destroys in order to build.

In these turbulent times such business is not catch phrase, it is action.

Destiny awaits.  Nothing to lose.  Everything to gain.

Loss

Major forest fires hit California with devastating effect.  Many lost everything, emphasis on thing.  Perhaps insurance will cover it.

Now I'm not making light of anyone's crisis.  There are many who have nothing to begin with.  There are many who see their life's possessions literally go up in smoke.  All have to deal with loss.

I'm not going into the cause of these fires.  They re mighty twonky in my estimation.  But whatever the source, the results remain.  BTW please investigate. Research and see where it leads you.  There are those who profit in one way or another from tragedy.

I happen to know a few of the people affected by the fires.  They have to deal with hard facts.  All my life I have known folks who suffer loss to one degree or another.

It's important to let them know they are not alone, that we can be with them through the emotional/physical/spiritual roller coaster.  Despair unstopped is mankind's undoing.

I have lost everything materially twice.  The second was a careful build up for material things.  Still, I started back with nothing in that regard.  However, I had everything otherwise. 

I had a clear field upon which to rebuild.  I was cheated out of several inheritances.  I twice lost all material things.  With the clothes on my back, I suffered at the hands of others and myself.  I let myself be batted around by the winds of fate.  Feeling sorry for myself, I could have wallowed in self pity.  I made up my mind not to do so.

I gathered my wits about me and determined a course of action.  Mind you there is the trap of making plans and not carrying them out.  There is the trap of time, thinking there was plenty of it.

Also, I didn't waste time allowing betrayal or the callous ways of some who revel in others' despair/crisis to stop me.  I have allowed for stops and starts and not asking anything of anyone I wasn't willing to do myself.  And there is no time for platitudes or feel good (or bad) pats on the head.  No pity parties in a chase the tail circle of commiseration.

We share grief especially but not limited to loss of people. But we go on. 

Decide to keep that which is given; memories, lessons, faith and rebuild.

Never give up.  Platitude?  Only if it is not followed up with action.

Loss.  Emptiness.  Crisis=opportunity.

Hope, dream, do.

Gain may not be the same, but you have to start.

Nougat And Bite

It's that time of year when we think of candy/treats.  Also nearly time for midterms.  Trick?

Collectivism is seemingly sweet.  It's sticky/gooey and rots the teeth, um, society.

Our Constitutional Republic is tangy, has a bite.  Things don't always go smoothly, not just because of collectivist interference, but because we debate and though we cherish Freedom, we don't always see eye to eye how to implement it.

Collectivism is blended into a clingy nougat.  Lockstep and though commie philosophy can differ like Maoism or Marxism, the end goal is one big pot of exploitation.

Freedom isn't free.  It takes work. 

Things are gonna flutter, click and focus.  The taste, though sometimes bitter, sometimes sweet, blend together as in good old E Pluribus Unum.

So get out there and get a taste of Freedom.  Get out the vote and set brushfires of Freedom in the minds of people!

Offerings

Make an offering you can't refuse?  Grease the squeaky wheel?  Help or hinder; weal or woe?  All the above and more.

An offer is sometimes freely given.  It is supposed to be without strings.  It's for betterment to be used in whatever way it can. 

I remember one service when I was a student minister.  Everything went well, until the organist gestured to me.  He whispered very fervently.  Couldn't hear him until through his teeth he exclaimed 'The Offering'.  I forgot to distribute the plates lol.  It takes dough to run a church.

Some offerings are contractual.  It might be a salary or list of detailed services.  There can be give and take.  Making a bid for a construction job is a good example.  The craftsman says he/she can do a certain job for so much money.  Another could be someone wanting to buy a house.  They offer an amount, to be accepted or rejected by the seller. 

As with other functions, offerings can be light or dark.

The Exorcist TV series brought to mind temptation to greed, power etc.  It entails perfect possession .  Refer to my previous post about this.

Sacrifice is pivotal.  One gives up something in exchange for something else, even if it's gratis.  But there is often a price.

People used to sacrifice animals or humans.  Some still do.  But in faith in Christ Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice for all.  And in this an offer is still accepted or rejected.

I hope this doesn't seem like meanderings or listless daydreaming.

I hope you accept it as thought provoking, as a bit of mental exercise near the eve of a vital election.

Offers of Freedom or tyranny are being made.

We are responsible for the outcome and how we subsequently deal with it.

My offering is cast upon the waters.

I'll try to remember what it takes -s-.

The Exorcist.

First off, this stuff is Hollywood storytelling.  That said, there is a message in the ravioli. 

Nothing is more sensationalized than exorcism and all that goes with it.  There are a lot of misconceptions, spurred on by show biz and a public that doesn't find out for itself.

I don't find such things entertaining.  This is because the subject is visceral and touches the spiritual.  The real thing is worse.

Oh, production values can be good and everyone from above to below the line are very talented.  I know and have met some of them.  It's a job. 

I could spend time critiquing the current TV show and contrast it with reality.  I'm keeping it short.

People are never forced to be possessed.  By hook or by crook, the demonic wears down the victim.  It's generally slow, gradual and the resistance is what draws attention.

If you believe there is a war between good and evil, you can see that played out in possession and exorcism.  Good and evil wend their way through life on many levels.  That's not to say all is 'the devil made me do it' stuff.  People are quite capable of sin.  But the demonic is ancient, timeless and the hatred is inhuman.  It's a pestilence which curdles the soul.

It preys on weakness, whatever it might be.  It degrades and hates all that is good and decent.

I recommend the works including interviews of Father Malachi Martin.  He was well versed and a veteran of quite a number of exorcisms.

The Rite by Matt Baglio is another resource.  Look for others as well.

Sometimes exorcisms are brief and other times can go on for years.  Some are violent others quiet. As Father Malachi said, if you step in the room, you'll soon know if it's real.

Often there is a team to assist in prayer, exorcism itself and to restrain.  There are times when it's done with a minimum of people.

There are others besides priests who have done the work.  None do so without Divine authority. 

The show noted those who are perfectly possessed.  These are people who accept demons to dwell within them in exchange for earthly power, prestige etc.  The person is at home with the infernal and resigned to go with them at death.  Also there is a measure of protection, for they cannot be driven out.  The fallen and the subject each get what they want.  It usually isn't as dramatic as portrayed, but it occurs.

I advise caution researching this.  Protect yourselves and honestly, don't be too curious.  Watch out for snares.

We live in a time when such things are surfacing more and more.  Evil is rising but don't freak out.  Trust in God.

I offer these musings because I believe they exist.  As for extraordinary evil look around.  Child sexual abuse and all its attachments is an obvious example.

There is an uncaring, that inhumanity I mentioned.  Avoid it.  But if it presents itself seek help to fight it.  And pray, for the spiritual goes on whether you are aware or not.

I'm not trying to scare anyone.  Rather I hope to strengthen and offer my own prayers of protection.

Neither do I force anyone to believe this.  It's your free will.

But there is a restoration going on and a resurgence of Freedom in the US and worldwide.

We are freeing ourselves from the yoke of collectivist enslavement.  We are casting away and casting out tyranny and embracing Liberty.

Perhaps in that we are all exorcists.

One footnote:  The savage outbreak of violence and hatred are evidence of evil.  Many at least to me, exhibit symptoms of possession.  My encounters as many of yours should make that self evident.  And speculation, if you accept my premise, of especially notable people who may or may not be perfectly possessed, shouldn't be a case of wonder.

I have my views, my conviction re such things.  Let it remain there.

Seek the Light of God to guide you and for those others, seek the reason that balanced the Founders with faith.

The midterms are going to test us all.   It's one battle between good and evil.

Face it with truth and faith. Do what you can to enlighten and as Sam Adams said 'to set brushfires of Freedom in the minds of men' (and women -s-).

Blocks

This has cross reffed and passed through here before.

I've mentioned a wagon full of blocks when I was a kid.  They all fit in said wooden wagon and I used them to build all kinds of forts, buildings and other structures all through my childhood.  It became more sophisticated as I grew older.

Building blocks of life; eg components, ingredients >cells.

Not only do these pieces make a whole, they fortify as built and maintain thereafter.

Infection can be deterred.  Sometimes it invades, speed and intensity varied.

What cannot be blocked out is dealt with inside.  As infection spreads, it's countered to a greater or lesser degree by blockage.

Conversely, blockage can be a symptom of disease.  In effect, it may keep cure or healing from taking hold. 

Just as white cells combat infection, some physical, social or spiritual disease may predominate and reverse and that which is good is treated as bad.

Social media is a body of thought and feeling.  It's become one of the battlegrounds for the war between Freedom and tyranny.

I've mentioned before about a certain unhinged celebrity who spews venom re Freedom and our President with nauseating Alinsky 5 frequency.  I often countered the lies/half truths with truth and was rewarded with scorn to put it mildly.

Finally I was blocked for suggesting a particular SC justice be replaced with a certain proFreedom lawyer who has her own show.

The whole time there, the experience was like visiting a vipers' brood or an asylum for the violently insane.  So it is with the enemies of our Constitutional Republic, who had their way too often 28 years prior to our 45th President.  We have a chance to Restore the Republic, a new opportunity to build.

Point is I've blocked quite a few leftist loons. 

For me, blocking is halting a harmful stream of abuse concerning what I mentioned above.  I have in several places countered lies with truth.  The collectivists can't stand it so they even threaten.

Now the kids' Mom and I have been threatened before and there have been some attempts on our lives by drug dealers, gangs and child rapists. We take threats seriously. We are not afraid but are watchful.

Tumultuous times are ahead, far worse perhaps than ever.  We will see and weather the storm.

The blocks we have are the best and we are rebuilding a Republic that is once again a shining Light on the hill.

Battle is rough so block/parry and win.

Glitch.

So I prepared and hit the button to enter my blog for the 4th entry this month.  It went to my blog and this greeted me: Sorry, the page you were looking for in this blog does not exist.  I hit the home button and it took me to my last post, Pregnant.  Hmmmm......

I'm no computer whiz, but I do basic functions and I can type.  I reentered the post before I hit the home button, because it wouldn't load. 

When I went to the post list, it had Pregnant listed as a draft.  I looked at it and it was incomplete which prompted me to repost.  Then home posted it.

I have several copies of the last post.  I finally got the button to my blog working.  It seems to be ok now.

I changed last night to a new browser. The one I was using froze.  This may explain what happened today.  Or not.

I mention this because there is unprecedented censorship of Freedom minded folks.  From major new sources to blogs like this, the collectivists are simply trying to erase us.  It is a prelude to an invasion of sorts.

Knock out communications then proceed to perform a coup.  With the midterm coming, this could be dangerous.  Collectivists want only their warped views available.  Very sovietesque/1984ish.

Enjoy my blog but get the word out yourself.

There will be massive voter fraud and actual physical attacks up to the midterm.

Get the word of Freedom out.  By all means of Light, tell, shout the truth so we may continue to Restore the Republic.

The real glitch is to disassemble collectivism.

Don't just watch.  Act.

Pregnant

Took a walk to work on the kink in my knee and to get something at a convenience store.

Wonderful weather as in low humidity, gentle breeze, warm not hot and quiet.

I ambled down the street with my walking stick as a woman in a wheelchair hailed me across the street.  She declared it was good to have a stick if you need it.   Her demeanor was gentle and cheerful.

I answered yes and each day is a gift.

She agreed.  No sign that she 'accepted' her lot.  Just that she made the most of it.

I reached the store which was busy in the afternoon.  I held the door for a young woman who thanked me and I said she was welcome.

I headed to the back of the store to get a soda.  I found them, grabbed a bottle and tured.  Just as I did, I poked a clerk who was arranging merchandise.

I apologized effusely, asking if she was alright. 

She cheerfully assured me she was as I headed down the nearby aisle.  I was navigating round some folks getting cold drinks when I almost collided headon with the girl for whom I held the door earlier.

Again apology and assurance she was ok.

I rounded the corner and got in a ragtag line for checkout.

I was right behind a pregnant young woman who was called back to the drink aisle.

It was frenetic in the front of the store but not at all rude.

I determined to keep the pregnant woman's place for her.

She quickly returned and said to go ahead, even though I insisted she take her previous place.  So I did and she was behind me.

I made my purchase and the clerk, though harried, was pleasant and I wished her a good evening.  I got my soda and went out the door.

I remembered how graceful the pregnant lady was as she had turned to the drink aisle.  She had her hand on her tummy as she went back.

It was a small thing.  I note the qualities of people wherever I go, whatever I'm doing.  It just struck me as a gesture of consciousness and humanity amongst the other little events that day.

The whole thing reminded me of the musical ending to the X-Files ep Improbable where folks were similarly interacting and seemed to dance and sing as the camera panned out with people segueing to lights, cities, the world and Burt Reynolds face formed from it as God.

Silly?  Maybe.  But it was a peaceful moment in a world beset with chaos.

Pregnant with real hope that humanity makes it.

God bless her and the baby, all of them, all of us.

Humanity

Or lack thereof.  My, how this is blatantly self evident these days.  I think always.

How easy is it to sell your soul?  Easy.  But some do it gradually while others instantly.

So many temptations.  Some are easily seduced because they are on the path to inhumanity.  Others wear down from increased desperation.

Just look at politics and it's plain to see.  Criminals give up their humanity for the dubious fruits of crime.  It's true for street hoods as well as politicians.

Me first, callous manipulation. Dedication to collectivism, the crowning perfidy.

Witness the cold quiet (sometimes) exploitation of people.  It's evident with a single psychopath harming a person as it is with governments under collectivist control.

Without going further round robin's red barn, collectivism in all its forms is inhuman.

There is no caring, only control.  And love is just a word upon which to hook the bait for tyranny. 

The  bait usually takes the guise of emotion only, for humanity requires a combination of heart and head.  This, with a bum's rush excluding thought, is the crux of the results of humanity. 

Witness current events let alone history.  See the cold fingers choking Freedom.  Displayedtyranny for all to see is all around.

It is personal and it is there we must begin the work to stop it.

Remember though the angels are not human they are angelic.  Just so, the fallen ones are inhuman and therefore demonic.

Accept that spiritual example as you may.  It is true.

Stop look listen and let your humanity respond to Liberty and restoration.

Poison Control

It's very dangerous to poison mice and rats.  They can wander outside and be consumed by owls and cats, causing poison by proxy as it were.  Poison is tricky.

Collectivists are spewing massive amounts of poison, in the form of baseless accusation, mixing lies and truth in a deadly cocktail.  Invectives fly, disregarding decency and sanity.  Hate for hate's sake.  Demonic. 

The President is a focal point, with ire extended to anything Republican.  Further, this rot covers nationalism, populism and anything remotely Liberty minded.

Of course RINOs and neocons join in, past the ridiculous party lines, often, but not always quietly. 

Naturally there is an abundance of this trash on social media.  Many times it goes unpunished while conservative pages get eradicated for rightly criticizing such.

I've enjoyed friendship with many people in show biz.  Several are from the 40s and 50s with a few even in the 30s.  Some are friends, others associate or a combination of both. 

Like other groups of people, there are different personalities involved.  Many varied jobs, mostly creative.  Lots of artistic acumen.  And egos, well as vast as the horizon. 

There are some who feel entitled.  They preen and get off on the adulation of fans.  They feed like an energy vampire, sucking emotion and applause, told they are right, good, brilliant. And they descend from their ivory towers to 'give the public what they want'.

Now, there are lots of folks who love themselves in a healthy way and they love the audience.  They share talent, do their jobs.  And they team up to tell stories.

Particularly, I've known many actors, writers and directors.  And the above speaks volumes about healthy vs unhealthy egos. 

My view is simple.  Telling stories, entertaining and a message in the ravioli are what I look for in showbiz.  My best friendships are based there and have even transcended politics.  Not so with some.

It's addictive for some celebrities and conversely for their sycophants, for whom they can do no wrong.  They feed one another's craven needs while spewing poison against those with whom they disagree.

If all you do is cherry pick detrimental posts, fill them with the most vulgar insults and aspersions, you merely illustrate just how shallow collectivist rhetoric festers.

Sprinkle this with 'light hearted' posts about generally agreed upon bravery re military and other heroic everyday events.  Also toss in some stories about animals.

Provoke and stir up hatred.  Fill your posts with intellectual 'Swiss cheese'.  Appeal solely to emotion and put down any disagreement with similar filth.

Those who are inadequate always find ways to try pulling others down to their level.

I've resisted striking in kind and prefer to address such fallacious posts with truth and my support for our President for instance.   As a result as said, I've received Alinskyan 5 abuse.

Often the celebrity doesn't amount to much.  And they dwell in a snakepit where spewing venom is the norm.

No facts and selective lies mixed with truths fill thread space with the vilest musings from diseased minds.

I've warned that such toxic spewings, instead of taking good people down, merely poison the perpetrators.  I'm ignored.

Exercise poison control. 

Collectivists want despair.

Let it be owned by them.

Which America

The collectivists revel in divisiveness.  It's easier to control people if the are divided.  By color, sex,other self absorptions to distract.

Using Alinsky's Rules For Radicals, the enemies of Freedom chisel at US.   They present a simple dichotomy: We are living in two Americas.

There is only ONE America.  It is our Constitutional Republic.  Accept no substitutes. 

Is there room for opposition?  Yes for there are variations among individuals. We disagree and there has been historic debate with some at odds.  But tribalistic collectivist drivel doesn't cut it.  They are the enemies both foreign and domestic. 

We have allowed these enemies to run wild too long.  No wonder they are mad now that Trump and many of us are Restoring the Republic.  Don't rely on a President.  Our Freedom depends on the participation of all.

Yet, we must have freedom of speech, even for our enemies. For if we don't, who knows where it will go?  We are free to criticize and point out differences.  Or we suffer censorship as the colectiists are attempting.

Don't be fooled.  And don't be goaded.  No Fort Sumters.

Which?

Reality.

Copies

Keep carry collect what you like.  Glock was quite the innovation.  From the use of high grade plastic, slide, hammerless and trigger design, these remarkable handguns have swept the world.  We even have a factory in Georgia.

Of course there is the big debate with Glock vs 1911 design.  Apples and oranges to me.  I like both.

Both have spawned copies of basic design.  This is common when something takes hold in an industry.  At best, good begets good.  Cheap copies aside, there has never been such a proliferation of quality weaponry.

Worthy of mention are the many AR15 clones.  Quite an array.

My point is imitation might be the sincerest form of flattery.  So it seems with nationalism.

There is a rising in the world of those who wish to be sovereign, free to choose.  Yes, they can come together with others, but national identity springs from individualism.  That, of course, our enemies despise.

We see the quintessential battle between Liberty and tyranny now in the US.  We are the final bastion for Freedom.  We have guns and refuse to surrender them.  We are the lead balloon, the poop in the punchbowl of delusional collectivist ecstasy.

Let us inspire our fellow Americans and the world to resist. 

The collectivists, thieves of all, have taken to using that word to oppose our President and Restoring the Republic.  It is a bitter pill.  They choke on their venom and lies.

We copy the Founders and others copy us.

Not cheap knockoffs, we produce real Liberty to truly resist and last.

Falling

You don't have to believe.  Free will.  Up to you.

Likewise, I leave it to you to form your own opinion of this post and me as well.

I believe there is a Creator.  Many names yet one.  There are spirits many call angels and we are spirit housed for a time in flesh.  There is free will and there are those among these created beings who chose to turn away from the Light.  They are the Fallen. 

I won't get into a detailed description, there are plenty of treatises out there.  And it all boils down to belief.  Experience, circumstances, trends even and more have led me to know that evil extends its tendrils near and far.  Good and evil wend their way through our lives and events.  Either overt or sub rosa, they clash.

There are the Fallen, angels who rebelled, were beaten and cast out of heaven.  There are those among us who ally with them, worship them.  Just as ther are Angels ans Spirits of Light and we who remain in flesh, the opposite has risen.  Of course, there have always been such circumstances.  But now, we face unprecedented evil.

Collectivism seeks to take over, blotting out Freedom minded folks.  Many only see the social/psychological/political aspects.  I believe it is deeper and the base motivation is for the Fallen to predominate.  Collectivism is evil and an invention of earthly dominance with underpinnings of spiritual capitulation.

Hatred is rising, especially with our President and many others seeking to undo all the twisted details laid out over the years.  We seek to Restore our Republic and more.  There is a rising up of Liberty in the world.  As Sam Adams said re brushfires of Freedom in the minds, so we see the results encouraging others to bring Freedom where there was little before.

Those who would be our masters are enraged.  They want us to be slaves existing at their whim.

The anger displayed is becoming more overt.  It's downright demonic.  The hate is just a sample of how the Fallen despise God and Creation.  It is a hatred unbound in dark spirit.  All the talk of death is meant to scare us and trips our enemies' hand in that those not enslaved would be exterminated.

Look around as the Falling continues.  As people choose sides.  Death and destruction or Life and Restoration.

I've left this vaguely pointed, so you can call Light what you want.

But we are in this together for weal or woe.

Don't go falling for the old lost way.

Be lifted up.

South Pacific

I enjoy musicals, particularly of the 40s, 50s.  Since then, too many have become leftist leaning. 

Now, some plays/musicals can be interpreted more than one way.  I filter through collectivist murk and find meaning where I can.

South Pacific is based on James Michener's Tales of the South Pacific.  Michener was liberal bent so the above is useful when dealing with his work. 

A sidenote: Don't agree at all with his interp of the Electoral process.  Another time for that perhaps.

South Pacific is a classic and has been performed round the world, as well as the movie.  I recommend that.

It takes place on a small island where natives live.  There is also a French expatriate's plantation.  He is portrayed as a good guy and treats the natives well.

There is also an American naval base.

I'll leave you to find the movie.

There is a subplot where the plantation owner and a naval lieutenant go to track Japanese activity.

My interest here is part of the narrative involving a naval nurse falling in love with the owner.  He has mixed race kids and she struggles to accept them.

Also the lieutenant falls for a native girl, but fears how she would be accepted back home.  He dies, thus alleviating the situation but leaving questions unanswered.

The nurse overcomes her reticence and accepts the kids, whom she loves.

A song sung by the lieutenant, You Have To Be Carefully Taught explores racial prejudice.  We start out accepting but can quickly pick up the ways of others.  BTW, didn't work with me.  I've always accepted people as they are.  Something inbuilt methinks. 

Many a young man brought 'war brides' back from all over the world.  All have contributed wonderfully to America.  We're a melting pot as in E Pluribus Unum.

The object of our enemies is control.  One way to achieve that is to divide racially.  It's not working as well as they'd like.  We, in mixing are not a bland glop.  We are vibrant and celebrate difference yet unite as Americans with Liberty in common.

One other song, Happy Talk champions love and hope.

You gotta have a dream, if you don't have a dream, how you gonna have a dream come true?

We are lucky to be us indeed!

Cutoffs

Timeless fashion and a way to make jeans last longer.

For now, it is timeless oppression. 

It was easier in olden days for dictators to control.  Edicts and harsh enforcement ruled.  Now, with communications worldwide and the United States leading the way, Liberty has spread and we are not fooled by those who seek to control us.

Of course, tyranny seeks to endrun and use all methods and means against us.  Well known, we have msm and all the organs attached to their collectivist goals.

So we have alternative media, which give us the news and not propaganda.  We can reason and think for ourselves.  We are not led by the nose and prey to emotional bias. 

Collectivist lust for control has brought about an attempted coup against those who espouse Freedom and they point out the myriad crimes committed against the people.  Government should serve the people and not the state.  That is a cornerstone of our Constitutional Republic.

Pardon the obvious but we should all be reminded of the truth, especially with the lies and half truths spewed by 'the news'. 

The coup consists of trying to wipe out any opposition to tyranny.  Censorship runs rampant in the form of attempting to wipe out Freedom oriented news sources. Certain sites are under specific attack as well as individual people who, in shedding light on criminal activity, have become targets on several levels, including frivolous lawsuits, harassment and probable attempted murder.

Shadow banning is common these days.  This is a sneaky method which bans/blocks someone or organization from a medium/board/forum by showing posts only to the banished.  Others cannot see.

In a page right out of the commie book social media say they don't shadow ban but they do as has been proven.

Others are targeted for virtual extermination by accusations of violating 'community standards'.  Again, this s denied and double standards abound.  Procollectivist even violent terrorist sites remain, including promotion of child rape.

Many of us circulate proLiberty stories refuting the tyranny oriented lies shoveled on the public. 

Many of us have been censured to one degree or another.  I've had stories pulled but returned when I protested.  I'm lucky.  Some have been banned permanently or for a certain length of time. 

One after another would be targeted, until only collectivist lies become Orwellian truth.

How do we stop them?  As always with the truth.

Shed light on the collectivist crimes and promote Freedom in all outlets.

Get busy.  Find out for yourselves who is lying and who is not.  It's pretty easy. 

However, we must make the effort.  Support news outlets espousing truth/Liberty.  Protest and complain.  Start more alternative sites.  Not just a show, we must develop Freedom oriented communities and networks.

And remember, in studying enemies of Liberty, we can out move them.  Chess.

Many free thinkers are abandoning msm outlets.  That is a primary reason they are trying to wipe out truth.

So, we will cutoff lies like a cancer.

Instead we will grow and thrive in truth and Freedom.

Depths

What depths can collectivists stoop to?  If we're not at the bottom we're in the gutter. 

Many are looking the other way or advocating child rape.  They have a kinder gentler name for them.  I refuse to use it.  They are child rapists period.  Lost or evil?  useful idiots, true believers, string pullers and shadow dwellers.  It's the same with child rape as it is with anything else addressed by collectivists.

Moral equivalency, subversion with cultural Marxism , the slow steady erosion of morals and manners has led to this.  And there is much more flagrancy.

The level of hatred projected at the President seems to be nonpareil.  There has been dissatisfaction such as with his predecessor, antipathy such as with Andrew Jackson, but the vitriol, spread with our modern communications, is like a wildfire consuming anyone working to Restore the Republic.

Much of it has to do with that moral/spiritual deterioration mentioned above.  Behaviors have been fostered, manipulated, conditioned, tolerated.  Personal responsibility has been tossed to the wayside.  It's replaced with instant gratification, total selfcenteredness. 

Armies of radicals have been unleashed, nurtured in the darkness. Trolls, both paid and independent, are all over social media.  Their attacks are intense even savage and unrelenting.  I've received some attention, mild compared to many but interesting in terms of learning Freedom's enemies and their methods.

There is no humor.  No debate as in the old days.  Just shoutdowns and threats.

Collectivists cannot win arguments.  They lie, detour, sidestep and finally resort to insult.  Or even now some ignore. especially if someone bests them or is an effective counter aka threat to them.  But more than ever, savagery is the key response.

Read Alinsky's Rules For Radicals.  It explains a lot.

They tempt us to respond in kind.  Don't go down to their level.  Stick to the facts. and I guarantee it will exasperate them.  Use caution and situational awareness whatever kind of encounter you experience. 

Never turn your back literally or figuratively.  Watch crowds, situations in which on foot or in cars, you may get sandbagged. 

Doxing, the exposure of addys phone numbers and any personal details, is on the rise.  Protect your privacy.  Figure it out.  Don't let people know even little details.  They may add them up.

Sure I've mentioned here and a few places some of my life.  But I leave key details out.  I limit tiny intimate details such as family events and nicknames.  Elicitation is the skill of getting such details out of people.

All of the collectivists' actions have been planned.  Some spontaneity is thrown in to supposedly confuse. Don't be.

The aim is to destroy our Republic and squelch Liberty rising in the world.

Dachshunds were bred to enter badger holes and fight them there.  So it might be as we encounter radicals. 

Let your conscience be your guide and watch your six.  

Rancid Snobbery

Snobbery is the weak defense of those threatened with truth.  So it goes with collectivists. 

Snobbery is repulsive of course.  Repugnant.  But the type of snobbery I'm addressing is rancid.  The typical double standard endemic to collectivism.  As David Codrea says 'for progressives (one of many labels for collectivists) every day is opposite day'.

We have seen the repulsion collectivists exhibit re military.  Yet many of them are military veterans.

Throughout WW2, commies, at the behest of Stalin, laid aside subversion to defeat Collectivist Hitler, especially after he attacked Russia.  Before they were hunky dory with Adolf and Uncle Joe.

These days, many socalled liberals boast of their own or parents' service then and since on up to now.  They take that oath to protect and defend the Constitution while they secretly exercise subversion.

And the latest carbuncle or sores to fester is the question, 'Did you serve in the military'?  I know of several who did and are as traitorous as KGB agents embedded here.  That includes celebrities who entertained or vets who espouse commie claptrap.  Most, of course, were/are decent honest patriots.  But the traitors mix in to yes subvert.  Look up that word.

The commies like to disparage those of us who never wore a uniform, who never took that Oath.  They create a collectivist second class citizenry where if you haven't served you have no say so.  How could you know what they went through?

Well, as a 4F I never experienced combat, nor any trials nor travails that accompany said service.

I DO experience the fruits of others' service.  And the rights we ALL have to speak our minds and to condemn collectivism. 

It's shameful and dirty to hide behind a uniform then espouse treason/sedition.

And I tell you especially today, that many of us may see service to protect and defend our Liberty.

We have our ancestors and on down to those in uniform now to thank for that and to serve in whatever way we might.

An oathkeeper or oathbreaker?  You decide and test resolve.

We each have a role to play. 

No room for the rancid snobbery of collectivist hypocrisy. 

Stormy

Ever been caught in a storm, of any kind?  I remember a particularly violent thunderstorm.  The sky became greenish grey, on the verge of a tornado.

The wind was sudden, as was the rain, which fell in sheets.  Gushing doesn't come close.  It was inundating, just short of a flood. 

We were on a highway out in the country.  There was nothing in sight except empty fields.  No traffic added to the feeling of isolation. 

The sky crackled ominously and an eldritch lightning shredded the sky. 

I yelled, 'Don't touch any metal', as the lightning danced over the hood and roof.

It was over almost as fast as it came.  The weather shifted to a grey downpour.

We drove on and the sky remained grey but the worst was over.

Many have survived worse.  Katrina comes to mind and the Palm Sunday tornado in Indiana.  Tsunamis, volcanoes earthquakes and manmade devastation such as Chernobyl, Fukushima etc.

Storms are weathered and survived to rebuild and resolve to live. 

They are chaotic.  They are destructive and leave a mess. 

I know this is old stuff re storms etc.  They don't go away.

Save lives and rebuild.

Peachy

I like pie.  All kinds.  In fact, for my birthday the last few years, instead of cake, I've had apple-caramel pie.  I'm particularly enamored of peach pie.

I enjoy peaches on cereal, eaten like apples and peach ice cream.  And pie!

Seems to be a dearth of peach pies.  There have been shortages before.  There are of course, some poor quality pies.  One was mostly paste with a few tiny chunks.  I long for a full pie with big ripe cooked peach slices, lots of cinnamon and brown sugar syrup.

What do you know!  Sam's Club is offering a peach streusel pie marketed for the 4th festivities.  So says the brochure.  Valid 6/20-7/15, it has yet to make its appearance in my area.  They should hurry.

I've been waiting for all these days and STILL nada.  The home office said be patient they'll ship.  What's the delay?  Noone seems to know.

The store where I've been habitually shopping since the arbitrary shutdown of the eastside store, was clueless.  Guy at the bakery helped me search to no avail.  Shouldn't he know his wares?  Customer service rep said she didn't know.  Neither did the bakery manager.  The latter said the pic in the brochure was apple.  Uh-uh.  Peaches are yellow so's the pic.  The rep at the ounter said the baked peaches and ice cream was what I mistook.  NO.  The description is directly below the pie pic.  Sheesh.  TY for insulting my intelligence or showing your lack of same.

Southside said nada as did the west store.  However the girl out west said they might be in a shipment coming, so check back.

I did.  Nada otra vez. But the woman took my name and number promising to call when they arrived.  Better hurry the 4ths coming.

The northside rep seemed put out.  Um a reasonable question shouldn't stress you.  Go back to customer relations class.

So I and apparently a crowd of folks await peach streusel pie.

Where are they?  Why the delay?  And no, they aren't limited nor territorial/regional.

You might ask with all the bad stuff going on, what's the big deal?  More important things loom.  Suffering and death kinda override pies.

Yes. but I wonder.  If a promised pictured product doesn't show up, what else could go wrong?  And what indeed of customer relations?  When the SHTF are people skills out the window?  Another skills set will supercede them.

So I've decided to find out where and why just because.  The home office will love me.  Meanwhile Sam Walton's probably spinning.

I can btw, make my own pie.  I have that skills set -s-.

Told the ladies up north as much.  They said to bring them some.

The little red hen and I say hell no.

Intensity

The strength of the vampire might have been no one believing in him, but not so for commies.  They are busting out like angry carbuncles on a diseased posterior.

Sure there is denial, partly real and greatly collectivist lying such as the infamous claim they don't want to ban guns.  Communism has been metastacizing and has never stopped.  It is chameleonlike yet preaches the same old rhetoric.

Remember there are useful idiots, true believers, string pullers and those in the shadows.  Thus, there are plenty of new recruits to the cause.  Naïve kids who do the street work.  And the crusty ones in masks who threaten and attack.  All the while the string pullers sit back watching.

One of the recent word/term thefts is 'civil war'.  There is indeed a disparity on all levels.  The collectivists are upping the ante toward intense bullying and more violence.

Originally civil war was spoken of as a corrupt government which becomes tyrannical and the people, attacked must restore the Republic.  That is being done by the President etal while doing some watching themselves.

Now the commies are claiming in true Alinskyan style, that Liberty is wrong and the course the country has gone toward collectivism and one world gov, is in danger.  Well yeah, dangerous enslavement is being dismantled in favor of the Constitutional Republic.  They threaten outright violence to overthrow the Republic and instal by force communism.  Wow! 

We can chalk this up to the desperation the collectivists feel as bit by bit everything they have worked for is thwarted.

Now it remains to be seen how far this will go.  Is it bluster>  An attempt to intimidate to capitulation to avoid violence or is it an actual go for it.

Don't underestimate the enemy.  They have been carefully placed for decades to suborn us.  There are tougher opponents than kids in masks including elements of military and police actually friendly to collectivist aims.

Keep in mind not all are corrupt.  There are many loyal to Freedom as well as vets who are true oathkeepers.

Exposure is essential and waking up as many folks as possible as well.

We must not back down nor apologize.

Resolution and cold courage are called for.  No provocation. No Fort Sumters.

Tough times ahead but the Light of Liberty marks the way.

Little Red Hen

All the huff n puff of leftist fascist tactics reminds me of the source name.  That would be, of course, The Little Red Hen.  It was hijacked by collectivists.

They manipulate it to make the hen look selfish and ignore the plight of the poor.  What crappola.

She offered the others a chance to participate in production and the satisfaction of doing so culminating in consuming the cake.

Helping people help themselves, not to freebies/plunder, but to opportunities to work and reap the benefits.

The other animals couldn't be bothered.

And who cares who owned the oven etc.  Obviously the hen had access so it's not like she was stealing.

Collectivists always have long drawn out excuses which are lies and half truths.

The Little Red Hen is what it is.  Just like our Republic which the collectivists want to drag into the mud.

Commies always appropriate aka steal terms, like liberal, resistance and now civil war.

We'll be talking about that next.

Reverse Disease

In psych I met many in denial.  They either were completely out of it or they just made excuses for problems and lack of solution.  Some claimed they were ok, but it was others who were sick.  Denial and projection go hand in hand.

Some may not agree but I believe it's similar when leftists/collectivists either individually, collectively or in mass attack crowds rail against someone who is opposing them, such as we who are Restoring the Republic. 

The most vile descriptions/accusations ensue and could be withering if allowed.  My advice, don't allow it to get to you.  Consider the source, let 'em carp and go on.  Besides, who has time to read all that carp?

The nature of evil is to isolate and fill with despair and doubts.  It roils in misery loves company.  It wants to defame. 

Stick to the truth and keep eyes on the prize.

There are those who accuse decent people of being haters when they even expose child rape.  Quite perverse to say we are not tolerant and that such things are ok.

Woe to those who call good evil and evil good to paraphrase the Bible. 

Pick your own battles and stand firm.

I've been reviled and accused by the Alinskyites for standing for Freedom.  So be it.

Reverse the disease back on them.  Sunlight is cleansing.

Going Ape

Sigh.  The leftists are rattling their shame/authoritarian/ridicule chains again because ape was used in a, to me, satirical joke.

You may have read of it, how it was claimed racist, a show was cancelled and other punishments heaped on the jokester.  Typical petty self righteousness from our comrades to the left.

This is typical to detract from more important events  Such a waste of time and energy.

Yes ape has been used in a derogatory manner.  It is a trigger I suppose.  So I can't go ape for something huh?  In a pig's (another popular slur) eye. 

Real hate/prejudice can hurt and divide.  We must rise above for the most hypocritical racists are called liberal.  They say one thing and do another.

Beware also the ad hominem trap.  Lefties love to incense us and cause us to lower ourselves to their level.  It's different than pointing that out.  Be logical and factual.  Gets em everytime.

Physical ridicule on the other hand is common, such as caricatures.  Decide if it's funny or biting -s-.

So going ape is same as going wild.  It can mean enthusiasm or violent obsession. 

Of course terms adapt to snide remarks.  It's a choice and we should all start with ourselves.

I choose to go ape for Freedom in the sense I am enthusiastic and indefatigable concerning our Liberty.

And again, look around at what else is happening when a sensationalist story, well, goes ape/viral.  Observe events and see what is being obfuscated.

Apish behavior is in the purview of buffoons and poltroons.

Going ape?  Let your conscience be your guide.

100 Years

Memorial Day gets me to thinking about family and history.  We each play a piece of the mosaic from yesterday til tomorrow,  Once in a while I wonder about what will be remembered of today.

I know I'm doing what matters right now.  I'm not in some tizzy about leaving my mark on history.  I've done that with the kids.  They will remember me.  We often share memories of their growing up.  Some of the stuff is truly only noteworthy to us.  Trivia to others might be a warm or even silly remembrance to us.  After we pass, the mems will get gradually dimmer at least for such things.

Most people will cross over with some family, friends and associates remembering them.  That's ok.  It gives renewed meaning to living for the moment.

Some might die alone with no one. I hope we can reach out to them for we are strangers only once. They will never be alone again.

I look at family pics and some though dim are fresh enough to me.  My GreatGrandparents and their siblings for instance.  There are portraits of ancestor also.  These are only known through family stories and historical accounts.  Yet the were alive, vibrant and lived lives with people round them and interacting with such and events.  Perhaps they wondered too.  Or maybe they just lived, did what they could and passed on as the next generation took up life.

100 years from now one of my descendants might well look at a pic of me and think as I have.  Or a legend might grow if something I do now carries on.  But they will be there because I am here.

As quoted from Lord of the Rings 'History becomes legend.  Legend becomes myth.'  Great and small things.  What Dad did to Founding a Republic and much more.

Perhaps you'll make something of this.  Certainly make something of yourselves.

Remember.  Live for today and plan for tomorrow.

100 years will take care of itself.

Having Light we pass it onto others.  This was our school motto.  Let it be so.

Tom Tom

I believe the drums are sounding.  Some still distant, others nearer, but they portend upset.  There is quite a stir over the arrest of Tommy Robinson.

As usual, I'll offer my short 2cents.  I encourage you all to find out about him and what he is about.  I only add caution to beware of leftist press and obviously looking where this is not censored.  Yes censored.

His name is a pseudonym that, no thanks to the leftist press, has been rendered useless.  He was protecting his family because there is a hit out on them, not just him.

 He has for 11 years been exposing child rape/grooming gangs round England. The government has been covering up.  They are not happy with his efforts and have imprisoned/censured him before.  Now he is in for 13 months, immersed in a system where jihadists have prison gangs and might well murder him.

For some time socalled migrants have been multiplying.  There are no go zones and places where sharia law abides.  It is jihad by immigration.  Just as the child rape and the murders are jihad as well.  It is all about creating chaos.

The elitists wish to inundate the west particularly to make catastrophe.  Then they can do away with republics, make democracies and mold them into a collectivist miasma.

Tommy Robinson, among others, stand in their way in the UK.  They are our brothers and sisters in Freedom.  They deserve our support.  For in the US there is concerted effort to make us disarmed, gelded drones as well.  I needn't explain.  I have before and it is all around.  Again look and see. 

There seems to be a worldwide outcry about Tommy's incarceration.  Within an hour he was arrested, tried and condemned.  Just like ISIS etc do.  Just as collectivists everywhere do.

England is becoming what they fought in WW2.  Those folks would spin in their graves.  And worse, the English are silenced by a topsy turvy gov/legal system.  What else is it as sharia grows and even self defense is illegal?

If you receive this in occupied places, demonstrate, organize and foment an alternative.

Is not the protection of our children paramount in a Free society?  Resist the slide to oblivion.  Rise and seek Liberty.

FREE TOMMY ROBINSON!

Theater Energy

Ugh.  I'm lying here sweltering in the heat.  Actually it's the humidity.  Both that and temps are high.  So I conserve strength.

This kind of weather can be debilitating even fatal to those vulnerable.  Look out for neighbors especially the elderly.

Keep one's movement to a minimum.  Choose the best time for activity.  And when necessary, go forth.

Acting for the stage is similar.  Sure on cam works the same.  But that is in spurts of action.  Energy is needed to effectively portray the action.  A good actor makes it seem effortless.  Yet nonetheless it is energy expended.

The stage means one is always 'on', when in front of the audience.  Actors must husband their energy.  Depending on the scene, the given circumstances may demand little or a lot.

Offstage also depends on cues, what's next.  Some actors stay in character while others don't.  There are varying lengths of time between appearances.  So, acting accordingly is up to the individual.

One might be somewhat ill, however the show must go on.

I remember one such occasion.  I'd sit offstage and rest.  Then as time drew near, I'd wind up the springs and go forth.

Can you see the parallels to other activity I'm driving at?

Remember the show must go on.

Keepers

I occasionally have a quandary picking a title for these posts.  Got an idea what I'm talking about, but to sum it up is just a puzzlement.

First thing that came to mind with the above title were the Keepers in the original Star Trek pilot 'The Cage'.  They were the creatures who had a zoo of different beings because they had evolved yet craved the sensations they had supposedly outgrown.  The captives were kept in place by illusion, one of the 'advanced' characteristics of the Keepers.

There are many kinds of keepers.  There are guards, jailors, police, janitors, repairmen, historians, parents and so many more on many levels/ways. Some nurture while others simply maintain, whatever the case might be.

Counseling has its own rules, especially the type and intensity of same.

I had the privilege and opportunity/responsibility of counseling in relation to my work as a student minister and as a clinical psychology major.  I met many people with varied problems.  Of course, names are confidential and any circumstances which would identify certain people.   But there are cases that should give illustration to my purpose.

Drinking is one of the common denominators.  It is a problem which stems from many variations of core problems.  It become the core.

I've counseled several pastors and parishioners concerning alcohol abuse.

Sometimes it led to further help.  Sometimes not.

Laws force consequences for the results of accidents and other tragic occurrences.  Sometimes that bottoming out works along with an ear.  And again sometimes not.  The person really has to face the problem and want to change.

That is the counseling challenge.  So many want you to take them by the hand and solve their problems for them..  Taint that way McGee.  A good counselor will work through and point out things.  But the solution is in the hands of the client.

Of course, there are profound 'mental problems' which need further and constant care or keeping.  Profound retardation, compulsions and just about anything that gets in the way of a healthy life demand such care. 

We get into retardation as being different than criminal activity.  That lies in the legal realm as well.  But mental illness as well can be so crippling it demands lifelong supervision.

It can also be evil.  That's a whole other ballgame and surely lies in the area of ministry.

I straddled both clinical psych and ministry.  What a tightrope.

Suffice it to say that should be addressed another time.  But one point about keeping, be it confidentiality or honorable pursuits, it's a two edged sword.

When people are in certain positions, such as ministry or police work, knowing their secret sins/problems is part of the work.  However, they can be protective of reputation, in spite of that.

It has led to some hiding behind a collar or a badge, keeping appearances, while they work out problems or don't.

One can be seen as an embarrassment to them.  This indicates to me they are not dealing as well as they should.

They have nothing to fear but themselves.  Sometimes that memory jog is because they project onto the counselor as they might another.

The records are locked away.  The problems are confidential.  There is no skeleton clattering or ghost haunting except a prison of their own device.

They have been saved from suicide, serial cheating, drinking, what have you.

Yet they don't feel safe unless they smear someone else.  This indicates more profundity of problem yet to be resolved.  Or they are psychopathic and need one of those literal keepers.

As for me and my work, it is kept locked safely away.  It is kept in heart and mind.

The best thing for all to keep is love and resolve in heart and mind.

Don't be kept afraid.

Alz

It is pernicious and frightening.  Loss literally of mind.  There are many places to study/research.

https://alz.org/

https://www.webmd.com/alzheimers/guide/alzheimers-disease-stages

There are sources about treatment and cures.  Please explore for yourselves.  From wholistic to traditional, find what works for you.
NB: Among symptoms check to see if there is vitamin B12 deficiency.  It can mimic Alz.

I've seen it firsthand in family friends and associates.  I've offered care and support for those with the disease and their families etal.  If you likewise offer care, love, support, seek the same for yourselves.  It's hard even somewhat soul destroying thinking you are alone.  You are NOT.

We have all witnessed more famous folks suffer.  It strikes, not caring about position nor status.

It sometimes onsets quickly but mostly is gradual.  A lost memory here and there.  Some confusion occasionally.  Then more often.  If it goes full term, people pretty much become vegetables,  On the way they forget about themselves and who is around them.

There is denial sometimes.  People brush aside what they see in themselves or others.

I've seen people fool others simply because they are around each other frequently.  The more you see th more you know.

I've seen the fear grow in patients.  They are slowly losing their minds.  It is frightful. 

Please learn what you can and do fo others and yourselves.

Face the music.

Hope and pray.  But do what you can to help find a cure.

Blunt Or Sharp

Can't help but remember the old 3 Stooges short where the Boys are given the choice of execution.  Burning at the stake or chop off their heads?

Curly immediately says the stake.  When Moe asks why, Curly says 'a hot stake is better than a cold chop'.  It is a nyukable moment but in reality neither is acceptable.

Civilization faces a similar fate.  The forces of jihad are ravaging portions of the world, even more than in the last 1400 years.  Paranoia?  Not if they're really after you.  Look around.

Now you might look at the surface.  Say it's just the rise of fanatics (sic).  You see the increasing carnage, destruction, mayhem of body and mind. But wouldn't you wonder why much of it is overlooked, excused, sometimes sanctioned?  Maybe I should have called this cahoots.

The left and jihad (sic) have often joined forces.  Hitler and mufti.  The current trend to let in socalled refugees and stand down to the increasing violence.  Why?  What gain do those from Western civilization gain?  Clue:  It's not Western civilization.  It is its hoped for destruction.

That was the goal in WW2 as it is now.  Destabilization.  Subversion.

The jihadists are both a diversion and cause/effect.

They are either a blunt instrument or a spearhead to bring about control.

Collectivists never change.  That crisis thing eh?

One side cons the other.  Both think they achieve victory and will do away with the other. 

The only thing standing in the way is a Republic.  And the desire to be free round the world.

We mustn't tut tut and just report atrocities.  We must shine the light and stop them.

Blunt or sharp?

150 Billion

It's the figure I've seen re the profits from child sex trafficking.  Evil is lucrative to evil.

Is it hard to believe?  There are people who revel in such things.  Sickening.  No wonder some of the NYPD puked and sought counseling after viewing certain items on a certain pc.  Those among us who have dealt with similar can verify that.  It is not for the merely curious.  Seeking evil as such guarantees payback.  Also even the mention/discussion of such can invite negativity to say the least.  Darkness seeks who it can.

You don't have to believe the spiritual, but I do.  I've experienced enough to be convinced that it exists.  Child sex abuse is the dark core of hell which feeds on fear and hatred, lust, greed.

It seems like a cosmic whack-a-mole how such enterprise is exposed and taken down, then springs up elsewhere.  Many have been defeated and children rescued. There are many more.

I believe that the President is pursuing this evil, saving kids.  It is a linchpin of not only his administration, but a commitment to ceaselessly bring Light where there was darkness.  There are many with him on many levels.  It is to me all part of Restoring this Republic.

The enemy is powerful and entrenched.  That above figure is not outlandish, considering what people accept as wealth.  The adversary uses all the cunning and wiles, including bribery, intimidation, murder, extortion and more to ensnare many and stop others.  Very few in government are untouched, very many are whole heartedly in on this evil or go along because of the above methods.  Blackmail following frame ups is common.

My novels touch on a lot of this.  Soon the world can see.  I wrote on my own.  But now truth is stranger than fiction.

Godspeed to each of us, who, in our own way, are working to free kids and punish/stop the evil ones.

It is all part of Restoring the Republic.

Decency, honor, health, goodness are part of it, most of it.

Compared to 150 billion, it is priceless.

Quiet

Be vewy vwey quiet.  I'm hunting wabbits.  Elmer Fudd's immortal quote usually spoken to Bugs Bunny himself.  We won't go into what lies behind this, though Fudd is the usual nickname given hunters who don't think they are in 2A danger.  Evil thrives as a result. 

There is and has always been bombast.  And in the affairs of people we stand and declare Liberty loudly.  We fight and on most levels it is not still and quiet.  But there is a spiritual aspect to what goes on.

I agree with Herschel Smith about the young Bolsheviks.  Their religion is collectivism and their god is the state.  It has always been so.  Since long before Marx/communism stained the earth, people have worshipped kings and emperors and their edicts in lieu of god.

God, great mystery, moves in mysterious ways.  Usually quiet ways.  Sometimes there is a flash in the pan such as parting a sea or angels announcing Jesus' birth.  But mostly it's day by day events wending their way through life. 

Notice the announcement was to shepherds and might have only been noticed as a literal flash otherwise.  Others who followed Light knew and followed.  Events, both good and evil unfolded in rather daily ways.

So it was that fateful week in Jerusalem. 

Hailed as a king, Jesus entered to accolades.  Less than a week later he was beaten and crucified after a kangaroo court indicted him and found him guilty.

Btw, the Jews as a people didn't kill him.  It was pressure from religious leaders who only had what they perceived as self interest to motivate them.  They then pressured the Roman government which subsequently executed him.

As for the crowds, it was doubtless mixed.  The Pharisees egged many on.  But there were good people who advocated mercy.  Crowd psychology is not a new thing.

The loudest thing that week after his entry was his condemnation.  Whip up emotion to indict to ban to bend the will of the people.  Quickly before cooler head could prevail, eliminate the problem obstructing or threatening the status quo.  The dust off the hands and feet, thinking it was done.

Beware to those who think God is in their pockets.  It is the other way round.

As for quiet, well their was an odd dialog on the Cross.  Then a storm and earthquake.  Then the body was entombed.  Quiet.

Roman guards doubtless had some recreational wine to kill the boredom and weirdness to them of guarding a tomb.  Sleep.

What happened inside?  We can only surmise.

Was there a flash, energy popping as Jesus rose?  Or was it just quiet energy as he exited a quietly rolled away stone?

His first appearance was to Mary Magdalene.  She first thought he was just a gardener, then saw him as he truly was.

Quiet morning and subsequent appearances.  Chitchatting about what to do and what was to come.

Then that rising up.  Was it simply Light maybe a whoosh?  Well we believe it happened.

Later converts such as Paul had flashes and tumbles.  Anyway there was stillness after.  Some people need a bit more kick in the pants than others.

Contemplate quietly what it all means.  It is up to you.

Push Redux

They don't stop.  I've spoken before about collectivists pushing to see how far they can go.  Even one of the red diaper students made reference the other day about inches and miles.  And any concession or nicety on our part is merely seen as weakness to exploit. 

When the collectivists say we are afraid, we are not.  But they want us to be. 

There was a chain of stores called Korvettes.  I think it was competition for Target in the early days.

A young guy got a job there as a clerk while working his way through college.  You'd think normal, routine.  It was strange.

First, an attractive woman with security, which investigated internal theft as well as nabbing shoplifters, made a bizarre offer.  She kept winking and blinking, flaunting as she tried to talk him into teaming with her to steal records and other merchandise.  Um what?

He reported the incident and nothing happened.

Was it a security drill to see if she could entrap him?  Was it a scam she actually planned?  Even more bizarre was another incident.

He was clerking behind a counter when a big rough guy came blustering in through an adjacent door.  The man made odd accusations that the clerk had mistreated him.  He threatened and almost seemed ready to leap over the counter. 

The clerk called security as the man left.  The young man saw the guy go into a nearby store.  There he seemed normal and quickly left.

No result from security again. 

Other things followed but the kid left their employ quickly.

Now why this weird memory?  Well look at the current situation.  

Belligerence is a SOP for collectivists.  And security?  What kind of police in many different cities stand down from shooters, crowd control and even herd opposing groups together, causing riots?  Need I say there are oath breakers, those who obey unjust orders/laws?  Many are as gungrabbing as our traitorous politicians. 

Someone attempted to intimidate that clerk into submission.  No different with current events.  Startle, pummel, threaten progun people at every level, lying all the way and projecting their misadventures.  My advice, stand tall, face them fearlessly and not just counter but confront them with the truth.

I believe they are tipping their collectivist hand.  Prideful, they think they have the upper hand.  Pride comes before the fall.  Now the tables turn.

We do more than push back.  Initiative.

Underneath the bravado, the collectivists are afraid.  Truth and Freedom make them shake in fear, then rage.  And that's dangerous.

Don't take the red diaper crew lightly.  They are, of course, groomed by the old line collectivists with the hope people will fall for the old bilge with a new face.  They are just as unprincipled and will do whatever they must to destroy the Republic.

No breaks.  No place to lay the head.

Don't let them goad you.  No Fort Sumters.

Stupid follows stupid.

Kung fu,  The attack is thwarted by letting flow through as one steps into it then away using the opponent's energy.  Do not under nor over estimate. 

Learn to absorb punches and deflect.

Push dodge trip.

Age And Faith

It's fairly common knowledge that physical maturity continues into the early 20s.  This includes brain development.  This doesn't mean that mentally we are necessarily immature.  It's simply a way for humanity to progress and reach a peak without being stamped.  We are forged.

Government seeks quick fixes with age limits.  Just as mental acuity advances, so does maturity, with guidance from those already mature, such as parents, teachers, mentors etc.  It is a matter of thinking for oneself and accepting responsibility for one's actions as well as for skills acquisition.

My GreatGrandmother married at age 15.  This was in the 19th century.  She was brought up on a farm with chores, then learning to manage and run it.  I don't know that there are many if any who could do so now.  However 18 is the usual government age for several responsibilities.  This has varied and yes there are cases where someone might marry.  They can work, join the military and operate machinery including guns. 

Some are trying to raise the bar because of tragedy.  It's needless and robs people of exercising responsibility.

If the collectivists had their way, we would never be ready to use guns.  But we could keep lowering the voting age.  Some of them want to lower age of consent and/or eliminate it as well.  Is that maturity?  Or is it forcing instability on all of us?

I've mentioned many times, in grade school I slept in a room full of guns that were out in the open.  Racks, displays on chests and an unlocked cabinet were featured.  Also there was a 1911A1 and a Chiefs Special in a desk drawer for immediate self defense.  In high school, I kept a 1911 next to my bed.  Respect and responsibility.  Let's say this is a pattern I've maintained and taught my kids.

To hear the collectivists this is wrong.  Bull hockey.  They are just ploying to disarm us. They also frequently squish everything together, such as sex and guns.  One is lifelong and one is adult activity.

Faith?  Herschel Smith at the Captain's Journal spoke of how collectivism is the liberal kids' religion and the state is their god.  It's always been that way.  Religion is the opiate of the people Lenin said.  Well communism is the opiate of these antigunners.

Grow in truth, thought, experience.  Bit by bit aka each of us doing our part.

We are never too old to learn and have faith in God and the Republic.
