This persecution of Trump reminds me of times in my youth growing up in Oakland CA when I would be cornered and encircled by gangs of mostly black males in numbers of at least 5 or six and often as many as dozens and sometimes hundreds.

I took some beatings, but not only did I give back what I was taking I most often dealt decisive blows when fist fighting as many as 6 gangland thuggish attackers. I have to this day the scars on my face and my fists that attest to the truth of this story.

Not once could they ever defeat me even when against overwhelming numbers I fought and injured them and/or otherwise escaped before the final beat down which even back then would most often end in some degrading sexual abuse. Not once.

Bret Hart JHS, at that time in the heart of the Oakland ghetto, was overwhelmingly black to white, with at least 75% black, 20% Asian, 4% white and 1% other. To say I was outnumbered is an understatement. Yet I fought on, and I survived to learn some very important lessons.

Weak people like the current Marxists aiming for a government takeover are the bullies and indeed outnumber the rest of the actual patriots in many of the east coast and west coast cities, but not in the rest of the country.

I was never forced to run from any less than three of these racist people, meaning on many occasions I successfully fought off at least 3, 4, 5 and even six at a time. As my reputation established itself there was not even one person at that school that would dare to take me on solo. This is the God's truth.

Now I'm not trying to say that I am some sort of tough guy, but the bottom line is that I knew I was full of love and these people were evil because they hated me for just the color of my skin. So even though I still loved, and the black girls of the school mostly loved me too in return, this just made the bullies in the bunch hate me even more.

So with blind rage I would use martial arts and my speed and size to inflict horrific damage while using my mostly superior brain to smartly duck, fake and counter to strike them again and again with my fists. What for me usually ended in skinned and bruised knuckles ended for my opponents in broken bleeding noses, broken and bleeding cheeks and cheekbones, a couple popped eyeballs and numerous other serious injuries.

So, by my calculation people like me and Trump can defeat all these losers by at least a 5 to 1 ratio but even more the fact is that the actual targets of the hatred from the left are at least 65% of the population. We the people are the victims of this attempt to overthrow our great nation and the laws it rests upon. This is why these evildoers are trying to further divide people by sexual identity because by race alone they will lose miserably any fair election.

What kind of an evil and cynical person it is that would seek to divide by hatred the very families and community relationships that have taken hundreds of years to develop while ignoring the rights of actual born citizens in favor of illegal immigrants with no right whatsoever to this great land other than what the current written law provides?

It is the corrupted, bribe taking and bribe paying, compromised, power and money hungry evil person like Joe Biden & Company as well as the sycophants in the media and academia who are hell bent to destroy most of the thigs that most of us cherish most. They want to strip us of our rights, freedom of speech, of religion, of fair representation, of equal treatment under the law, and so much more. All just so to glorify themselves. These evil persons must be defeated!

So, I say let's reelect Trump and let him finish the job of clearing the swamp and any bribe taking welfare sucking gangster thug should be very careful because we are coming for you and one of us is at least equal to six of you, plain and simple.

Exposing the Real CCP Agenda: Part 1

Sat, 21 Jan 2023 19:18:13 GMT

Most Americans are familiar with what the Chinese Communist Party consists of but as we move into a new generation, this knowledge seems to fade into the abyss of propaganda and indoctrination. Young Americans have been led away from CCP awareness over the last three decades and attempting to redirect their attention has become more than challenging. In this article we will expose the intentions of the CCP and the timeline of their strategic attempt to indoctrinate young Americans into the harmful ideologies of communism.

What is the CCP? If we were to visit a college campus here in the states, many students would pose this question. However, the boomer generation would likely have an immediate and accurate response. Where is the disconnect in awareness between these two age groups? The transparency can be found when reflecting on events over the last 30 years.

When analyzing a specific generation’s knowledge and beliefs, we must review a timeline of influences they have encountered in their environment. These influences include media, politics, and education. Education is the most influential of the three influences because it is the most deliberate in informing children how to think and behave. The unfortunate dilemma with this type of analysis is that we often don’t see the patterns and correlations until significant time has lapsed. Similar to the health field, these patterns are often found after the damage has been done. In contrast to our ability to develop cures for physical ailments, when it comes to belief systems being shaped over several decades, a solution will be much more difficult. When people have been subjected to the same programing and indoctrination from a small child to an educated adult, it is arduous to change their perspective. This long-term strategy is a successful way to create atotalitarian society.

However, on a more positive note, we can take this information and use it to improve the next generation to come. Bringing awareness is using our most vital right, the right to free speech, to open the eyes of Americans to the harmful agendas that have snuck into our country. The goal of this article is to present information and correlations capable of bringing transparency to the CCP agenda in our country with the intention of waking up the younger generation from their indoctrinated slumber to understanding what a totalitarian society consists of.

What is the CCP?

According to Wikipedia, the Chinese Communist Party is:

“organized on the basis of democratic centralism, a principle that entails open discussion of policy on the condition of unity among party members in upholding the agreed-upon decision”.

The CCP is the ruling party over the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The party refers to their belief system as socialist with “Chinese characteristics”. Many would debate this could be swapped out for “communist characteristics”. The CCP is the second largest political party in the world with over 96 million members and controls China’s police, government, and military with this power set in stone by the Chinese constitution. The president of the CCP is Xi Jinping and the parliament is known as the National People’s Congress.

Despite having one ruling party over the fourth largest country in the world, BBC reported that only around 7% of the population are loyal members. Of this 7% (6.66%), only 3,000 make up the National People’s Congress. This especially small group of members makes up the most powerful and successful party in the country. Remember, Chinas population is 1.412 billion. As for the remaining 1.3 billion, those in opposition are prohibited by law to express this opposition in any way with the consequence being persecution. As Americans, this should be an alarming consequence to note because prohibiting opposition goes against most of our amendments in the constitution. In the United States, each person gets 100% representation. We can be grateful for this right when we reflect on countries such as China allowing one person to make decisions in favor of 96 million people while simply disregarding the other 1.3 billion. This central rule over individual life is what’s known as totalitarianism.

A more recent disturbing detail is the change in term limits for presidency. Throughout Chinese history the party limited presidential terms to two, but in 2018 they ruled Xi Jinping to be able to serve indefinitely. This was an alarming decision that only stacked on top of China’s troubling agendas. Xi Jingping has been accused of being the most controlling leader in the history of the country. His main tactic in gaining totalitarian control is controlling the media, news, and education. These same three influences are increasingly becoming controlled here in the United States and China’s hands are not clean. Jingping also uses opposition consequences to control China. By this I mean civilians are threatened with torture, starvation, or worse, if they do not comply with totalitarian authority. These are the actions really of a brutal dictator.

American Rights Protect Our Vulnerability

While our society is susceptible to the same control via media, news, and education, we are privileged to have a constitution protecting our speech and individual freedom at all times. This is why we must exercise our rights and expose the above three tactics which are also currently being used in the United States to prevent granting control.

If we succumb to a socialist system, we are handing over our individual freedom in exchange for an existence with a political system that has laws allowing for party member rule, such as that in China. While we are manipulated to believe the agenda is for the better of society, we find this to be false after the agreement into socialism has been established. At that point of realization, we cannot simply retract what we voted for because the totalitarian agenda will already be in place and quite simply, legally, take over. In The Road to Serfdom: Text and Documents--The Definitive Edition (The Collected Works of F. A. Hayek, Volume 2), this socialist system can be clearly understood and serves as a beacon call to warn us to avoid the fate of Italy, Germany, Venezuela, and all the others and of course China. The system China has would be totally unlivable for very many if not most American’s and would surely lead to the worst kind of violence.

Another important matter to note is that censorship and persecution of opposition is yet another source that often boils into a revolt and China is like a teapot ready to explode! The more obvious assumption here is a revolt from the 1.3 billion Chinese civilians under the totalitarian rule. However, those who lie within the 96 million (7%) are also factors in this prediction. Of the top 7% only around 3,000 consist of the significantly powerful. The rest are simply card-carrying communist members. Everyone has a part in protecting the top 3,000 and this support feeds off of life-threatening consequences (the 1.3 billion) and power (the 7%).

China is a loose cannon and many people who have continuously studied the CCP predict it will boil over sometime relatively soon if not in the near future. The Coming Collapse of China by Gordan Chang is a great read for analyzing predictions and dynamics of a possible people’s revolt in China. It is also informative for those not familiar with China’s agenda in general. Gordon Chang is a Chinese American lawyer who worked as a lawyer in China for over two decades, giving him experience in China’s economic and social dynamics.

Why does the CCP want to gain control in America?

When it comes to the transparency in power, most paths will lead straight to money. China has complete control over its society and thus needs little effort to keep its 7% at the top of the pyramid with everyone else kept below as peasants and pawns. So what shall a country do after total dominance on its own soil? It seeks additional turf to access and control. The irony of wealth and money is that the top becomes indefinite; there will always be the possibility of gaining more. This dynamic can be seen within the United States as well and its growing into a significant threat to our freedom and democracy.

When we ponder on the idea of an elite status, we also need to consider those below in this pyramid scheme. Surely people would not jump on board with the idea of peasants and rulers because this is a dynamic of the past. However, China is much smarter at this game than the average American is led to believe. In order to expand on this notion, let’s explore the strata system in China.

Strata is a social structure that China heavily relies on. It consists of defining people by their economic status. The top class is the emperor and his family, followed by the government officials, thus making up the 7% we discussed earlier. Then comes the other 1.3 billion people who are categized as agriculturists, landlords, farmers, peasants, artisans and merchants. In short, the largest portion of the country consists of the working class which China claims strengthened the economy. In more simple terms, China expanded the brunt of society to becoming middle working class. This is the social reform that China boasts about and how they gain a supportive perspective from their own society and foreign countries. However, there still lies one pertinent detail; the higher class will always remain elite so long as the working class is unable to access upward mobility. This is the irony of a socialist society. Most of the population is privileged with an average income while those at the top indefinitely fill their pockets and remain in power and control. When referring to class, China denies existence of a ruling class, but the analysis of numbers cannot be overlooked. According to 2013 report by the McKinsey Consulting Firm as stated on Foreign Policy.,

“…3 percent of the total 256 million urban Chinese households as affluent with an annual disposable income of more than $34,000, 14 percent as upper middle class with an annual disposable income between $16,000 and $34,000, and 54 percent as mass middle class with an annual disposable income between $9,000 and $16,000. The rest were defined as poor”.

Now that we have discussed the dynamic between the working class and the elite, we need to draw our attention to the class of poverty. China claims to have nearly eliminated poverty over the last few years despite the pandemic putting the global economy into chaos. To introduce the understanding of poverty, lets first uncover what a poverty line is. According to the World Bank as stated by Chief Economist Indermit Gill,

“…a threshold of $1.90 a day is appropriate for countries with per capita incomes of less than $1,000 or so, such as Ethiopia. For lower-middle-income countries such as India—with per capita incomes between $1,000 and about $4,000—it recommends a poverty line of $3.20 a day. For upper-middle-income countries like China, it reckons that a reasonable poverty line is $5.50 a day”..

Despite this information presented by the World Bank, China sets its poverty line at an astonishing $2.25 per day, equivalent to less than half what the World Bank calculates it should be. This is an amount sufficient for a lower-middle-income country, not China which is the second richest country in the world with a $17.734 trillion GDP. The United States is the richest country of all. In 1960, when the United States economy was at a historic high, poverty was determined at $21.70 per day. Today, China’s economy can be compared to the 1960 US yet they keep their poverty daily consumption amount equal to poor countries such and India. Gill and his colleague Eric Dixon used this information to conclude that China is “years, if not decades, behind schedule” and that if they were to use the fair consumption rate, “between 80 and 90 percent of Chinese people would today be considered poor”.

This is a perfect example of why we must dive deeper into statistics and not immediately believe what the media and China itself proclaims. They set a low consumption rate for poverty so that they can label a large majority of the country as working class while limiting upward mobility to keep a cap on rising from working-middle to upper-class. They additionally spent over $800 billion in 2020 to guarantee the Chinese People adequate health care, housing, and education, proving their dedication to this fair image.

The important point to highlight with the above information is that China is attempting to convince the Chinese people that it is eradicating poverty and ensuring a sufficient well-being in order to take the spotlight off of the CCP inching China towards becoming the richest country in the world while only benefiting the top 7% of the 1.4 billion person population. This strategy is the epitome of socialism transitioning into communism. The government ensures a less than mediocre life for all while they reap the indefinite upward mobility of wealth and power. It sounds charming on paper, but a deeper look reveals the totalitarian agenda. As the pandemic swept through the United States, we began seeing a similar attempt by our Democratic government to first disarm us of wealth and then replace it with a calculated replacement and claim our economy was saved and improved.

Fast-forward to China in 2021, and the switch from helping the economy and eradicating the effects of poverty to nearly starving the Chinese people, has become transparent. The Omicron strain of COVID19 has made its way through the nation over the last 12 months. However, The Sun announced that according to studies, this strain was significantly milder than the previous strains. In the UK, it was reported that the Omicron caused over 50% less hospitalizations than the Delta. In 2022 we saw a dramatic drop in lockdowns and mandates in the US and several other countries across the nation. China, on the other hand, has been leading its society in a different direction that has nearly resulted in starvation. Chinese government demanded that the Chinese people remain in their homes except to be tested for the virus. This totalitarian authority has led millions of Chinese people to starvation, with one man in 2022 reportedly pursuing arrest just to receive something to eat. The Chinese people were attacked and jailed for leaving their homes with the power of “preventing spread” keeping these persecutions justified. Many additionally had no running water, no sewage connections, and were secluded in small spaces.

When we reflect on America, we can see similar socialist values creeping in from the Democratic agendas. For example, the COVID19 pandemic was a transparent attempt to present socialist values and study the reaction of society. While the younger generation views stimulus checks, student debt relief, and the waving of bills as a positive handout, many of us could immediately spot the agenda behind these gifts from the government. The trick with socialism is it’s appealing to the lower and lower middle class because it solves the immediate hardships such as financial distress. But what is often misunderstood and overlooked is the price this assistance comes at. By price, I mean our liberty and freedom. After reading about the strata system in China and how much power it allowed the CCP to gain, one’s eye may be opened to the threat here on American soil.

Elite America does not face the repercussions of control because wealth is power. The CCP is seeking to take advantage of our elite by offering more wealth and power in exchange for complete control and takeover of the American people, such as you and I. However, gaining this control is not as straight forward as the Chinese discovered within their own country because of our constitution and the freedom it promises and provides. In a sense, the American elite are pawns of the CCP and the average American is a pawn of the American elite. The CCP must gain control over our leaders and dictators in order to control our society. This is where the Biden Administration fits into this article. President Joe Biden is the puppet of elite America’s unspoken of agreement with the CCP.

The Democratic party has been a longtime pawn of the CCP agenda but over the last 3 years, their intentions became more transparent than ever. Our constitution creates a safeguard over us from totalitarianism which is why the Democrats must utilize indoctrination and propaganda to gain control over American society. This can take many decades because they must convince Americans to make the choice on their own instead of demanding submission. The only way to strategically bring this agenda into fruition is to manipulate our belief system from child to adult. This is where public education and other influences come into play. If the Democrats can get the American people to truly believe in the ideologies of communism by way of virtue signaling agendas and false hopes of humanity, then the door will be wide open for the CCP and we will have opened it ourselves.

The Democrat Party Agenda

The United States Democratic Party attempted for a similar lockdown to China’s current state but our right to opposition prevented our government from taking our lockdowns as far as China. What is significant here is that there was an attempt by our government in the first place.

Though the Democrats were unable to starve us and take complete control, they still gained power in other more calculated ways. If they couldn’t control us with compliance, they knew they could receive such desired compliance if they caused division first. By division, I mean putting Americans in position to choose sides based on virtue signaling for humanity. When we reflect on the last 3 years of the pandemic, we can note dramatic events such as the BLM riots, increased censorship over America first values, forced indoctrination on our youth via the education system, and the division of society through politics and health mandates. These events are more than a coincidence during the same time period as the virus.

First the Democrat agenda divided us by race; minorities vs whites became the focus. We watched our biggest cities get burned down and filled with violence as BLM riots raced through and the police force became weakened. This racial divide then evolved out of POC vs white to Democrat vs Republican. From there, the agenda for control became easy.

The Democrats gained significant support over their claim to be supportive of minorities while they pushed the Republicans as becoming far-right white supremacists. Though the Democrats had little to no evidence of such claims, the BLM protests forced many Americans to jump on board out of fear of being labeled as racist. They then began integrating other virtue signals such as censorship and health mandates which seamlessly fell into acceptance by the Democratic followers. Republicans and other Americans who chose to stand by their freedom and liberty were isolated by censorship, negative media coverage, and disproval of their non-compliance with mask and vaccine mandates. In a country founded and cherished for individual freedom, we saw the Democrat agenda slowly diminish this American liberty. How you might ask? By simply dividing us by skin color and forcing the idea of right and wrong by fear mongering notions of death, job loss, and isolation. These tactics align with the CCP agenda but were manipulated into our society through the misleading determination of protecting and improving humanity.

Tactics of Indoctrination

The reason the above tactics were able to be so smoothly introduced and accepted by Americans is because the Democratic party has many tools and these tools prove to be an efficient strategy. The tools I am referring to are the media and politics.

Media

The media consists of the information and propaganda we are exposed to in movies, advertisements, news and any other form of mass communication. The Democrat party is largely involved in both Hollywood and journalism, two of the most powerful forms of media in our country. When looking at Hollywood, we can see that most celebrities and artists support the Democratic party and push their agendas and views. I still have a haunting memory of Taylor Swift posting “vote Biden” cookies on her Instagram during the Biden vs Trump race. But these elite don’t need to be upfront with who they are voting for in order to influence Americans. They can support certain movements such as Black Lives Matter or comply with regulations such as the vaccine and masks mandates. Those choices alone directly influence what we believe to be right and wrong because many people idolize these figures. The consequences of these influencers not complying with the agenda are censorship and ultimately the destroying of their career.

In the last few years we saw a new term rise up from the pandemic and racial protests. The term I am referring to is “canceled” and the meaning couldn’t be more literal. The celebrities we saw defying BLM values, or refusing mandates, were canceled and isolated as far-right extremists out to put others health at risk or make the country all white. This canceling and humiliation could erupt from a simple photo posted or tweet, in fact it rarely stemmed from anyone announcing their views and beliefs with the intent to influence others.

Journalism

The second important point to make here is how exactly these messages of cancelation made it to the public. Journalism is responsible for pushing the cancel culture and for fear mongering the public. Over the last several decades, it has been made clear by polls and statistics that the majority of news stations and journalists are proclaimed democrat supporters. This can even be seen during the several Republican terms served. Check out America’s Media Watchdog for the specific stats and poll results from 1964 to now. The hard truth is that if you plan on having a successful career in journalism or the news industry, you better claim democrat. Even the right leaning news channels are made less available on streaming services and almost every local news station promotes the democratic agenda.

With the celebrities and artists supporting the democrats and the journalists presenting this information to the public, we become completely influenced that the Democratic agenda is the American way. Many fail to notice that it is the lack of freedom of thought and speech, one of our most liberating rights, through instilled fear of censorship and cancellation that made these influencers jump on board to begin with. Critical thinking and a higher perspective are necessary to point out these connections but when we are led to live in fear and ignorance, it is easy to miss the red flags.

Politics

Politics have always been a divisive tool, but it is also necessary for a country in favor of democracy. We are able to choose from parties and come together with voting for our own individual morals and beliefs. However, politics has leaned more towards division than democracy as we entered the pandemic. The first attempt was with skin color. After the BLM riots and protests over minority centered virtue signaling, Americans were made to believe that the Democrats were the only party in favor of equality and the Republicans were the party of white supremacy. It wasn’t necessarily that people truly believed this notion but more so a choice made out of fear of being labeled as far right or as supporting scary beliefs such as supremacy. People began to care more about the image they were being portrayed as than the actual truth they exhibited in their daily lives. Next, the democrats included mask mandates and vaccines and the very same supporters jumped onto this bandwagon as well with little to no individual critical thinking. It appeared that being label a far-right extremist was to be avoided at all cost, even if it meant giving up your freedom to make choices for your own health. It was a smart move by democrats to gain control and they couldn’t have accomplished such agenda without the assistance of the media and news.

Public Education and Indoctrination is the Most Significant Threat

While these tools are equipped to persuade Americans into making ignorant choices, the most significant tool of all is public education. When it comes to adults making decisions, it is easy to get us to pick sides once emotions and morals come into play. But what is more powerful than a quickly influenced, lack of thought, decision? True belief. Our public education is indoctrinating the next generation of Americans into truly believing that government control and socialist values will create a better America. This is the danger of indoctrination because when someone is taught to think a specific way from small child to young adult, it will be more difficult to change their perspective or open their eyes to truth. Indoctrination is a type of conditioning and it is up to the adult generation to stop it from progressing.

Public education and indoctrination are the number one threat to our country and the possibility of a totalitarian authority. The CCP has its hands in the minds of our children and if we do not use our power of free speech to expose their attempt for control, we will be doing a significant disservice to our children and the next generation to come forth. For this reason, we will dedicate the second part of the expose to unraveling public education agendas, the corrupt counterparts such as the CCP, and the risk these pose for the future of our country. The Democratic party is portraying themselves as supporting humanity and protecting our health as a means to gain more control and open the possibility of gaining total control. If we the people grant the government this power, they could easily flip on us at any moment just as we saw in 2021 and 2022 with China. The CCP wants world control and manipulating our country with the help of the Democratic party is inching them closer to the freedom soil we are so privileged to exist and thrive on.

Everyone is Lovable

Tue, 20 Sep 2022 19:51:42 GMT

We are all a child of God and capable of both loving and being loved.

We Are God’s Children

Children are born innocent and unconditionally lovable. No matter what choices or actions a child displays, we are to love them without harsh judgement. As we turn into adults, we become accountable for our actions and our behavior directly effects how others perceive us. This leads to contrast throughout mankind and we begin to develop friends versus enemies. However, deeming people unlovable and deciphering to have enemies has absolutely no benefit to your life.

The best way to remember that hate has no place in our hearts, is to turn to God. All adults are forever God’s children. God has unconditional love for all and studying his word can greatly encourage forgiveness and acceptance of others into your daily life. Let’s reflect.

“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” – Romans 5:8

Although we sinned, Christ still died for us. This action alone should help us understand that enemies do not exist outside our own perception and judgement. All are worthy of love and all are lovable. Loving those who are difficult to love, is extending our love received from Christ.

It Feels Good to Love

Take a moment and reflect on a scenario when you said something terrible or acted in a way that you later regretted. Now think about how those around you offered forgiveness and how that forgiveness felt. It’s likely that you felt relieved and changed how you handled similar situations in the future. Forgiveness is a form of love.

Forgiving someone can feel equally liberating as being forgiven. When you hold a grudge, it doesn’t feel good and invites anxiety and anger into your life. While you may think that this grudge is teaching the person at hand a lesson, it is not. In fact, it's quite the opposite. Holding anger for someone is giving them control over your feelings and, in some scenarios, your life. When you release the hate, you can begin to think and act with your heart instead of your ego. The picture may become clearer as you start to perceive situations with compassion and forgiveness becomes effortless.

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. 40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. 41 If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.” – Matthew 5:38-42

By forgiving and welcoming in only words and actions of love, you gain back that control. If someone treats us badly, we are allowed to feel hurt, but it is never a reason to hurt them back. The cliché saying, “two wrongs don’t make a right” holds true in this case. When we love others unconditionally, we become proof of God’s word, as we become the vessel for the extension of this love.

Love From a Distance

“But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.” – Luke 6:27-28 NASB

Loving others does not always mean we need to be physically present in that person’s life. Even at a distance, we can still project love! Praying is a great way to love others who we may not be ready to physically be around. Many people act in harmful ways because they are hurt deep inside. Anger is a secondary emotion to sadness. Someone who treats others badly was likely treated badly themselves, hence where they learned such behavior. Pray for their healing, happiness, and forgiveness.

We can also practice speaking positively about those we dislike. Gossip is the language of the ego, and doing so brings nothing but negativity into our lives. Gossip is passing judgment without allowing the other person to defend themselves. It only feeds our ego into believing our reaction to the situation was justified. This does not solve anything and can make us look untrustworthy to those we are gossiping to. We should speak kindly of our enemies and stay present.

All Are Lovable

In conclusion, all living creatures are lovable and a creation of God. The ability to love is the primary evidence of Christ living through us. We are all prone to making mistakes and likewise, we can all make changes. This is what growth looks like and we must be loved in order to have an inspiration and desire for such growth.

Next time you are feeling like a person in your life is unlovable, turn to God. Pray for them as he does for us and wish abundance and happiness for all. By doing this, we can feel less angry and use our energy into creating good.

Compassion Makes Us Human

Sat, 03 Sep 2022 15:33:12 GMT

Compassion is a trait we see the generation of millennials forgetting about as time goes on and divisive agendas continue.

What is Compassion?

Compassion is a term we often use but it’s meaning can get lost in translation, as there are several other similar terms. It’s important to understand the meaning of compassion so that we can fully grasp its significance and embrace it in our everyday lives.

Meriam-Webster defines compassion as:

“sympathetic consciousness of others’ distress together with a desire to alleviate it.”

Oxford Languages defines compassion as:

“sympathetic pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortune of others.”

Notice how the word sympathy is used in both definitions. Sympathy is our ability to feel someone else's pain and offer care or support. This is much different that empathy, which is simply understanding another person’s suffering. From a scientific standpoint, many people argue that empathy is a more beneficial way to help others because it does not bridge the feeling between two people but rather allows one to help the other.

However, sympathy is a natural reaction that humans experience between each other. Empathy takes a sense of control over your own emotions and the ability to separate them from the person needing support. Sympathy is an automatic response that stems from your own experiences and perspectives. In a way, expressing sympathy forces you to sacrifice a bit of your own energy to deeply understand and relate to another person's suffrage versus simply recognizing that suffrage is existing within them.

When Do We Experience Compassion?

When do we see people expressing compassion? Compassion is often demonstrated at times of suffering or pain. These situations could be as small as witnessing an elderly lady tripping at the store while carrying groceries or as significant as attending a funeral for a friend’s passed loved one.

Compassion is what sets us apart from other animals in nature. It’s an immediate sacrifice to feel temporary discomfort in order to relate to another human. You may feel compassion for the lady tripping with the groceries because you had an aunt who had a deadly fall in the past, so you drop what you are doing to help, even if it delays your route or schedule at the moment. Likewise, when we attend a funeral, we most likely plan on having empathy for the loved ones suffering by being present, however, we are likely to be overrun with compassion and sympathy as memories of our own lost loved ones begin to surface in those moments. When compassion arises, we see people hugging, hands on shoulders, and eye contact with strong emotional reactions. This is the significance of human nature. Our experiences and perspectives intertwine by way of compassion and understanding like one big web of stories and endings and beginnings.

Lack of Compassion Creates Division

When it comes to a compassionate society here in America, we have been falling short for three decades now. We’ve seen movements in support of abortions, selective racism, and violent solutions to conflict. In 2020, we saw much of this playout when the race wars began and groups such as BLM rioted through large cities. Cities were burned to the ground, businesses were destroyed beyond repair, and frantic, scared, citizens were taking cover from it all.

At the same time, we experienced a COVID19 pandemic where we witnessed America dividing based on personal medical choices. The unvaccinated were alienated as deserving to die and being irresponsible, yet the vaccine was still experimental and many questions were still unanswered about its efficacy. The division was backed up by legalities in the form of mandates. People disconnected from jobs, hobbies, friends, and family. Medical freedom was at stake and people did not care so long as it was in support of their own medical beliefs.

Then came the LGBT movement of 2021. In the past, America has become very accepting and open to the LGBT community, but in this particular year the support went from equal to manipulatively intentional. We saw children being invited to inappropriate pride parades with nude adults, sex education curriculum creeping down to our 5 and 6 year old kids, and laws attempting to legalize underage sex changes. Parents all across America became scared of losing their parental rights.

Reflecting back on the race wars, pandemic, and LGBT push, many might ask how society became so violent, compassionless, and unforgiving about life. The answer to this question lies in the timeline of those involved and how America has transformed over that time span. The majority of the LGBT community, BLM rioters, and mandate advocates are in fact millennials.

Millennials Age 24-35

Globalists such as Soros and other like-min ded powerful people in both America and the CPC, have been following out their plan of dumbing down Americans since the early 90s. This is also a time period when millennials were attending public school. The public school system began slowly and progressively indoctrinating our children to believe in and admire socialism traits. They were taught to believe in climate change and embrace the large corporations fighting against it. They were also convinced that being educated was only tied to a college education, where the indoctrination only continued further.

Perhaps the most significant trait they adopted was accepting mental illness as curable by pharmaceuticals, that our biological sex is changeable, and abortion does not include true life form. Flash forward to today, and millennials make up much of our administrative activists, educators, and healthcare workers.

People in these professions were one of the leading factors in the wave of compassionless conflicts America experienced over the last few years. They supported and advocated for corrupt movements and socialist agendas. They marched, rioted, and infiltrated our schools and medical systems. The educators liberal and woke perspectives spilled out into the classrooms and some schools even adopted the liberal agenda all together. While this tie contributed to the spread of liberal and woke movements, it also allowed transparency to parents all over America. This is what caused a pushback and could arguably have saved our country from a full-blown socialism takeover.

Since 2019, there have been nearly 4 million children leaving the public school system. Parents are resorting to homeschooling which is direct evidence of the lack of acceptance amongst parents when it comes to education. It’s one problem to have these agendas pushed on adults, but to push them onto free and innocent minds of our children stirred up the momentum we needed to keep it at bay.

However, the fight is not over. Millennials in America continue to be compassionless to the heart of America which is freedom and liberty. Like robots, they have been brainwashed to go along with the mainstream media and to believe they are social justice warriors in doing so. Although we made it through these last few years of chaos, the deep state and other threatening organizations such as the CPC, will continue to attempt to cage America into their control as we go into the future.

It’s important that we expose the millennials for their compassionless behavior and hold them accountable for what America had to endure. The hope has lied within the older boomer generations and the new generation of children. Boomers support for freedom in our country stems from their upbringing around war and propaganda. The new generation of children comes in with fresh and clear minds. We need to talk about the indoctrination and corrupt agendas to our children and work together to keep fighting for the future of this country.

Politics

All of these conflicts have also been heightened by politics. While politics are vital to a democracy and successful system among society, they can also take away from our human-to-human understandings. Just like we saw with wars, political beliefs often stem from one’s personal experiences in life and the morals they learned from birth on. This notion reminds me of two soldiers mirroring one another on a battlefield against each other. Each is defending what they believe is right.

Politics can largely be an ongoing deciphering of what we believe to be right and wrong. Here in America, no matter which party you identify with, we should all agree on a country based around freedom and liberty. While we vote on laws, we should always preserve freedom over our speech, body, and religion promised in our constitution.

Millennials seemed to have forgotten this promise as they divided themselves based on their personal beliefs and put our freedoms at risk of control. Most identify as Democrats or Liberals because the Democratic Party survives off of its followers into socialism, disguising agendas as justice and empowerment. Both factors are eye candy to the millennial looking for direction with a lack of discernment from decades of indoc trination to not think for themselves.

Identify as Human

What caused the division was not our skin color, gender, or vaccine status. The division was caused by lack of compassion for one another.

Skin color decided how worthy our suffering was.

Gender choices decided how worthy our suffering was.

Vaccination status decided how worthy our suffering was.

This mindset divided us as humans, as Americans. A dark skinned and fair skinned person can suffer equally and both deserve love and support, as do a gay or straight person or a vaccinated or unvaccinated person. Liberal millennials instead tried to push their divisive beliefs on the masses and if one did not comply, you were outed as a racist or right leaning bigot.

However, the Republicans and right leaning Americans were simply fighting for freedom for all. This is the foundation of America and what should be preserved at all costs. These movements and pandemics were all attempts by the left to control the masses and put freedom in jeopardy, and the liberals lead the way.

Community in America

Compassion is what will hold a community together. When we live in a free and liberated country, compassion tends to thrive even more and becomes a necessity. We are free to live life with our own political and religious beliefs and rights over our bodies. America is a country developed off of differences. It is what makes us the land of the free, home of the brave. As we reflect on the last few years of chaos and havoc, remember that your neighbor is worthy of compassion just as you are, no matter their skin color, gender, religion or political beliefs.

At the end of the day, we are all human and forgetting compassion turns us back into animals, dividing into groups and becoming territorial while ignoring the simple fact that we are one .

Compassion will keep us unified as caring individuals striving for a connected and diverse community. Remember that our country keeps us free only as long as our hearts remain free too.

Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble.

The 2 Tier Justice System in America

Tue, 26 Jul 2022 23:28:49 GMT

Our country promises fair justice for all, however We The People have been subjected to a blatant 2 tier justice system.

Success Is Fair

In the great country of America, we are free to be as successful as our determination allows. Our constitutional rights allow us to experience equality and receive justice. We can become the CEO of our own business or we can be homeless, living off of the streets. Both have advantages and disadvantages related directly back to our choice and motivation to become self-sustained. In other words, our free will determines much of the direction we go in life.

If you are wealthy, you earn certain luxuries in life such as a big house, a new car, a well provided for family, or a position with power. While others may not have these luxuries, we still consider the diversity of success in our country as fair. We work for it, we deserve it. This is a huge contributing factor to why people move to the land of the free, home of the brave. You can earn a certain level of power and with this power you can gain control over your environment and experience. However, in instances out of our control we heavily rely on our justice system.

Justice Is Not

What else does a superior income or status include aside from what is earned in the material world? Many Americans would agree that the upper class and people in power additionally have privileges in the justice system. We call this the Two-Tier Justice System which goes against the idea that rich or poor, powerful or not, we all deserve fair trial in the court of law. However, average Americans have received a harsher set of punishment than those with money. These are the simplest terms we can fathom about this topic but let's dive deeper. The media controls much of the story line we see the masses partaking in, but like we have learned in many other instances, there is almost always something much more significant lying just below the pushed narrative.

Distractions Protect Power

During the last few years, we have seen a shift in society that has caused havoc in our beautiful country. High profile cases such as those with Jeffery Epstein, Hilary Clinton, and other elites, were spotlighted. We also had one of the most controversial presidential elections in history. The public awaited answers and pushed their concerns, yet we never saw hardly any justice for these situations. Instead, we became distracted by pandemics, riots, violence, and even the altering of our genetic makeups. We found society entering races wars, controversy over medical freedoms, and just a year later, gender wars. While the very people in leaderships roles, philanthropy, and government were being investigated, the masses became completely redirected to inner division amongst ourselves. This is what we call an agenda, distraction, and media control.

Society began forming divisive movements with corrupt missions tied back to money. We saw the attention being shifted from poverty vs power to white vs black and gay vs straight, and vaccinated vs unvaccinated. We began fighting with each other instead of fighting for justice for all from the biggest elephant in the room, the elites. What was once a frequently spoken about issue became buried under media driven hate and the breaking of unity in every way possible. Looking back at the big picture, we were pinned against each other in order to take the heat off of the true criminals of the country, those in power.

The Leftist Agenda to Divide

Now listen closely. Which political party pushed this agenda of virtue signaling and wokeness? It was the party who thrives off of announcing good intentions with little to no focus on statistics and outcomes. This is none else but the Democratic party.

First, they pushed us to fear a virus regardless of the science not adding up. They refused to answer questions and the vaccine became a decision of right vs wrong, with the leftists deciding it was right. A simple concept like this came close to taking full control of our medical freedom ensured by our constitutional rights. Why? Because people were convinced it was the only acceptable choice in order to be deemed caring and humane citizens. COVID19 became the only headline in America for over 12 months. Citizens were arrested for refusing masks in public while the Secretary of State and Mayors of major cities were getting haircuts and traveling around maskless. Even the governor of California, Gavin Newsome, was allowed to keep his business open while all others closed.

We also saw riots that swept through our country during this period. Big cities were burned, small businesses were ravenously robbed and destroyed. Violence sky rocketed within major cities such as Chicago, losing more children to cross fire than from the virus. Race wars returned to America, all under the leftist disguise of fighting for equality that already existed. The government officials who pushed, accepted, and even instigated this turmoil were never served any responsibility for the detrimental outcomes. Soon after, we found ourselves dividing by gender. The LGBT movement became the new headline. Parents were threatened by government officials over their parental rights. Children became exposed to inappropriate sexual education and optional gender reassignments against parental acceptance.

All of these events were agendas pushed solely for division because a divided society will pay no attention to those in power, especially if these same people are funding all of the factors that go into the division. This is a classic example of Hegelian Dialect; a problem is made by the same party providing the solution. While we were fighting the justice system with race, gender, and medical decisions, we abandoned the spotlight on these superior persons receiving corrupt justice.

Hidden Headlines

Hilary Clinton

Back in 2016, Hilary Clinton was spotlighted for her blatant mishandling of classified government information. It’s been reported that she had her Filipino immigrant maid Marina Santos print off, email, and copy, thousands of top secret and classified government documents, all of which Santos had no security clearance to access. Santos also had direct access to the Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility, a highly confidential room. The FBI opened an investigation of the Clinton laptop and emails though it was quickly closed and the deleted emails and laptop were not discovered.

Just a few months later, a new case opened surrounding Anthony Wiener which had ties back to Clinton’s Blackberry, also a suspicion in her investigation. No further action was taken. She was never prosecuted for her mishandling of classified government information despite the high up leadership roles she was responsible for. Let’s also not forget her involvement with using a public server for classified information during the Obama administration!

No further investigation took place .

Jeffrey Epstein

Jeffrey Epstein was the center of one of the highest profile child sex trafficking rings involving hundreds of elites yet his death was not investigated. Even his partner Ghislaine Maxwell, only received a 20-year sentence and the public was rejected any footage of the court hearing. The flight log of Jeffrey Epstein’s notorious Lolita Express was perhaps the most disturbing evidence of all.

This particular plane transported elites directly to the island where the nightmare crimes took place against children. Names listed on the flight log included hundreds of celebrities and people in leadership roles ranging from actors such as Chris Tucker and Kevin Spacey to the famous Prince Andrew. Epstein's mysterious death took place in his jail cell before his trial. Though he was the most notorious inmate at the time, somehow the cameras allegedly malfunctioned at his time of death along with other questionable circumstances.

No further investigation took place.

Presidential Election of Trump vs Biden

The presidential election between Donald Trump and Joe Biden was under scrutiny from both officials and the public. The election was proven to have security and integrity flaws in multiple ways ranging from using sharpies to vote, to camera footage of suspicious activity at the voting centers. In some states, dead citizens were also found to have voted! Regardless of these blatant mistakes and fraud, the election was certified and the evidence was swept under the democratic rug. This was perhaps the most significant evidence of voter fraud in history yet it hardly received fair justice in its investigation.

No further investigation took place.

More recently, Hunter Biden was proven to have ties with China, all of which is father President Joe Biden was aware of. Yet we only hear and read about Hunter on small time podcasts and the very few unbiased networks left. This seems to be the trend when the leftists don’t want corrupt agendas exposed and is also the precursor to the censorship of right leaning Americans on social media, thus invading our right to free speech.

While we can clearly see that the elites are practically immune to the justice system, let's look at a major event where our justice system downright failed the average American. I am referring the January 6th protest at the Capitol

January 6th

The January 6th Capitol protest was controversial to the public. However, I am not here to discuss political views on the protest itself, I instead want to focus on the justice department's handling of this event and I feel it's best to do so unbiased. The J6 detainees arrested did not incite violence and video footage shows officials allowing them to enter the Capitol. The protest was a direct response to the alleged tyranny taking place in our government. This is the exact reason why the protesters should have been justified in their nonviolent actions at the Capitol. It's now been well over a year, and the detainees who were cherry picked from the groups of thousands of protestors, are still being held in prison. Leaders such as Marjorie Taylor Greene have openly spoken about the inhumane and unfair treatment of detainees being held and last October, a federal judge actually held correction facility officials in contempt.

My question is, how are nonviolent protestors who participated in a justified and constitutionally protected event, being incarcerated while we saw other Americans committing crimes worthy of felonies for almost 12 months straight ? The reason is because the violent rioters were protected by the leftist officials in power, the very people in power who advocated for those riots to begin in the first place. Additionally, this entire ploy was to further distract the public from the deepened government corruption and ties to heinous acts such as human trafficking and scandalous foreign deals.

Now that we understand the dynamics of January 6th, lets discuss a similar situation involving Steven Colbert’s staff members in late July of 2022. According to reports from The New York Post, the staffers entered the Capitol unauthorized not just once, but twice! After the first time entering, the staffers were quickly escorted out by Capitol Hill police officers. The staffers then decided to enter a second time before being eventually discovered once again by officers. Allegedly, the staffers were pounding on doors and yelling enough to disturb the peace with the end goal being to harass Congress members such as Marjorie Taylor Greene, for obvious political reasons.

This instance is identical to the actions of the currently jailed January 6th detainees except Colbert’s staffers returned a second time after their initial escort out. The staffers were arrested but released the very next day. No surveillance video footage has been released or additional details. It’s apparent that these left-wing trespassers were treated differently than the J6 detainees.

This is what a 2-tier justice system looks like.

They Can Control Action but Not Our Voices

Now you might ask how we overcome this problem within our justice system. We do so with unity and by voting in constitutionalist officials. Kyle Rittenhouse was an ordinary young man who was almost completely taken advantage of by the corrupt leftist agenda with the help of media and associated justice department allies. However, with community support and correct representation, he ended up receiving the justice he deserved. Could you imagine what his fate would have been had he faced the leftist’s corrupt justice alone? This is because we came together for him with our voices, proof that unity can overcome division.

The Democratic party may have stopped us from expressing our disapproval in our attempts to peacefully protest, but they will not stop our voices. Keep speaking up about the 2-tier justice system, about elites who deserve consequences to their actions, and keep pushing for justice for Americans who are being used as a playing piece by the leftist agenda.

Together, we can use our voices to let the justice department know tha t We The People are indeed still watching.

United We Stand, Divided We Fall

Tue, 12 Jul 2022 19:46:28 GMT

"United We Stand, Divided We Fall", a phrase that has continued to represent the strength of our country.

Introduction

As we reflect on the last few years of events in our country, we can appreciate the meaning behind “United We Stand, Divided We Fall”. We have witnessed havoc throughout our communities and this havoc has stemmed from within our own country and society. We have fought wars and succeeded through endless battles to become as free and flourishing as we are today. However, these successes must be celebrated with unity, not division, or else why are they an accomplishment at all? Americans continue to take their freedoms for granted by dividing over anything and everything they are told is right.

Division amongst We The People will destroy our liberty and independence quicker than any other outside force can. Here I would like to discuss the significance of “United We Stand, Divided We Fall” in a generation that has become ignorant of liberty and freedom.

Origin

This phrase can be related back to many speeches, songs, mottos, and famous quotes, but where did we adopt such a moving notion? The phrase dates back to the Greek storyteller Aesop in the 6th Century B.C. In his fable, he used it in two different contexts.

In The Four Oxen , he used the phrase to demonstrate the strength in many oxens against the lion versus just one. This reiterates the capability of strength in a group when joined in as one.

"A lion used to prowl about a field in which four oxen used to dwell. Many a time he tried to attack them; but whenever he came near, they turned their tails to warn another, so that whichever way he approached them he was met by the horns of one of them. At last, however, they fell a- quarrelling among themselves, and each went off to pasture alone in the separate corner of the field. Then the Lion attacked them one by one and soon made an end of all four.

United we stand, divided we fall."

It was also implied a second time in the notable Bundle of Sticks, portraying once again the notion of strength in numbers. This phrase would go on to be used time and time again throughout the future in not only America, but the entire world. While it may change in text, the meaning remains the same.

"... do you not see how certain it is that if you agree with each other and help each other, it will be impossible for your enemies to injure you? But if you are divided among yourselves, you will be no stronger than a single stick in that bundle."

Biblical References

This phrase can also be found implied in biblical references from the New Testament as follows:

Matthew 12:25

Knowing their thoughts, he said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand.

Mark 3:25
And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.

Corinthians 1:10

I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment.

AMERICAN HISTORY

“United We Stand, Divided We Fall” has a place in the history of many countries. India heavily promoted it when the country was seeking independence from the British Empire in 1941. Winston Churchill used it in his message to the US from London when receiving his honorary degree in 1941.

While we could explore the many countries who have adopted this phrase, lets focus on our own soil here in America. What does the phrase mean to us American citizens?

John Dickinson

In 1768, a pre-revolutionary time period, John Dickinson included this phrase in the fourth verse of his historically famous song, Liberty Song. The song went on to be published in 2 different Pennsylvania newspapers at the time, making headlines!

The song was significant to the colonies freeing themselves from the rule of England and became a popular notion of anti-British expression. John Dickinson was a founding father who went on the sign the Constitution for our country before his passing in 1808. He was nicknamed “ Penman of the Revolution ” because of his ability to put the ideals and morals of our new country onto paper while also assisting in the creation of our US Constitution.

The Union Motto

Shortly after Dickinson had coined this phrase, Kentucky announced its entrance into the Union in 1792. Kentucky went on to use this phrase for a state motto! A few years later, we heard the now famous phrase in a speech from Patrick Henry.

Henry gave a significant and moving speech to the public in 1799 stating,

“United we stand, divided we fall. Let us not split into factions which must destroy that union upon which our existence hangs.”

This was recorded as Henry’s very last speech before becoming ill and passing away the same year. It was also recorded that Henry fell into the hands of the crowd before being carried off to rest after the speech. Perhaps his most memorable statement was,

“Give me liberty or give me death”.

Moving forward, it becomes apparent that his messages to the public were received as our country progressively developed over the next 100 years.

Abraham Lincoln

The phrase was used in a similar context right before the Civil War by the great Abraham Lincoln as he gave a speech to the public in his race for Senate declaring,

“...a house divided against itself cannot stand.”

Although Abraham was fairly new to politics at the time and was unsuccessful in his race against Stephen Douglas, his speech was proven to be impactful as it became a demonstration of unity in the upcoming Civil War and was used to support the need for an agreement against slavery across all of the states.

The union army chanted this saying as a cry for coming together during the war and in 1864 it was used for the first time in a prominent civil war illustration. The illustration was famously created by Thomas Nast and became a staple portrait of American Patriotism. It depicted Lincoln as bringing together the north and the south as he offered his hand to a rebel soldier.

World War II

In World War II, we saw the phrase reappear again amongst our soldiers and country. It was a phrase that instilled hope and determination throughout the allied nations. Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands even used it in her letter addressed to the US Congress stating,

“United we stand, and united we will achieve victory.”

This letter went on to be published in numerous magazines and papers, becoming a staple of the time period and always surrounded by the patriotic illustrations of stars and stripes. From this point on, the phrase was adopted as a common analogy within our military and was a driving force behind the unifying energy and resilience that won us many successes for our land of the free. It became more than a quote; it was a symbol of our understanding and appreciation for liberty and independence.

September 11th, 2001

The tragic events on 9/11 in 2001 also lead to the use of this phrase, aiming to keep the community unified with hope for our country after devastating aftermaths.

“Always remember, United We Stand”.

This phrase was seen in papers, memorials, speeches and remembrance ceremonies for many years to come and is still used today when reflecting on the country's strength to overcome.

Symbols of Freedom

Today the phrase is not only continuously used in significant speeches and among our leadership, but has also been adopted throughout the states. Missouri has it displayed on their state flag and it's also seen on the license plate of South Carolina. It's also been used in famous songs and is quoted by some of the most notable figures of our century.

Division in 2022

While “United We Stand” was a leading patriotic saying of our country's making, today it is used far less. American patriotism has become stigmatized as extremist behavior by the Democratic party and

mainstream media. Although we can feel and witness the ongoing and progressive division of our society, patriotism continues to be avoided by liberal society. The new generation of Americans have used the very privileges our country has lost thousands of lives for to cause division and separation amongst each other.

Our skin color, freedom of speech, and belief systems have become the center of a line between us. This has caused riots, crime, the splitting of communities and families. What Americans are not seeing is the big picture; our division is harming no other society but our own. We remained unified for many centuries to fight off outside power and control. How have we come to this place of division?

Ignorance of history and lack of appreciation for constitutional liberties have been significant factors. As Americans, it is our duty to come together as We The People and separate ourselves from the lunacy of manipulated media and propaganda and rise again as the masses of this free country. If we continue down a path of division, we invite government overreach and the detrimental possibility of conflicts that will destroy our country such as communism, socialism, and foreign interference.

Now is a time to teach your children about the history of their freedom and the country they are privileged to live in.

Similar to Aesop’s fable, we must stick together and avoid falling to failure through our own division.

Going The Extra Mile

doughauptman@gmail.com (douglas hauptman) — Fri, 04 Mar 2022 03:12:14 GMT

The importance of faith, purpose, and freedom in the success of America.

In college I was a political science major, for a time. In my 2nd year my term paper thesis was "How the Nazi's Murdered Millions" and one of the main points, and there were several, was the occurrence that almost to a person the military personnel who were interviewed claimed they were "just following orders". Now this is referred to as the "Nuremberg Defense" but it was much more awful and insidious than the way it seems portrayed online today.

So now if you try to research this topic online, you do not find the proof that there were in fact over 75,000 interviews with people ALL claiming the same thing. In truth it was in fact a form of mass hysteria, mass hypnosis and mass denial all bunched together. This sounds eerily familiar to much of what we see going on today, on the left mostly but the right as well with hate, complacency and greed at the root.

8 million jews died. Think about that for a minute.

It seems a trip to the library would be needed to get the whole story. But the bottom line is this, the conclusion of my paper is that we, society, must ALWAYS question authority else the same kind of atrocities could one day happen again.

So YOU! If you are in law enforcement, is your job worth your soul, if you carry out an order that YOU KNOW to be illegal and unconstitutional? That is the question...

HOW TO WIN THE FIGHT TO PRESERVE THE FUTURE FOR THE NEXT GENERATION

doughauptman@gmail.com (douglas hauptman) — Fri, 05 Feb 2021 00:32:29 GMT

The source of power must come from the people, not the federal government...

All Change Is Not Inevitable

It is everywhere, and at all times: tyranny encroaching on our freedoms. Political “correctness”, “wokeness” and thought police are destroying and perverting the reputations of our founding fathers and other true patriots throughout history.

“Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” is being used as an excuse to literally pervert the Constitution in order to transform our country into a socialist catastrophe.

At the same time, these dark “woke” forces are working diligently to erode family values and desecrate morality, two societal pillars against which the Socialist and Communist forces in our government work to evolve America into an eventual slave state.

Unconstitutional laws, created by rogue courts (courts which were put in place by our founders to protect our civil liberties), are now being used to destroy those same liberties. At this rate, our grandchildren will have no freedom to speak of and may not even be aware they have been robbed (this most assuredly will be covert thievery).

The Cure

If this potential future worries you, it should. It should drive you to learn from history and then guide and educate your children. Knowledge and education are the only antidote for this disease.

Truth be known, the demoralization of our society comes from only one source, the Communist ideology, in its multitude of forms, with the ultimate goal of destroying human ethics and morality. Once we as Americans finally see clearly, we can reject this evil force and work to win this battle.

Moving Mountains

Without doubt, these forces being hurled against us, such as the Chinese Socialist Party virus that has killed more than a hundred thousand Americans and destroyed millions of livelihoods, in a matter of weeks took down our booming economy. Antifa and their BLM misguided brethren, who burned homes and small businesses across dozens of cities in this country, resulting in billions of dollars in damage and, horribly, several hundred lost lives, seem like such huge malignant entities that we become fearful and intimidated. That is what they intend.

These extremists now are calling for even more radical changes to our legal system, not the least of which is to abolish the police, and make free and fair elections obsolete with mail-in voting becoming fashionable (and impossible to control) and nakedly vulnerable to rampant fraud, as evidenced by the last national election.

What's at the Bottom of it All?

Communism did not go away with the fall of the Berlin wall or the dissolution of the Soviet Union; far from it. It is alive and well, aiming to silence citizens, crush spirits, and destroy the ethics, morals, and the values of our American society.

Despite having taken on different guises and pretending to be different political entities throughout the past century, communism’s destructive course has never altered. Communism is a cancer, eating away at American society, using any and all tactics. Lying, deceit and criminal activity are to communists the means justified by their “glorious vision” of socialist equality; equality where some are more “equal” than the rest of us.

The Front Line

Many of us have lived through these things before. Many people in this country have legally immigrated here from communist countries, escaping tyranny. They know firsthand the fear and how it, along with ignorance, manipulates and turns good decent people into willing sheep/slaves to communist ideology.

We need to take up the mantle of truth and education (the opposites of communist thought) which have been the bedrock of our society since its founding, when the founding fathers stood against the popular thinking of the day, revealed in The Federalist Papers. Washington and Hamilton, with like-minded patriots, designed a system of government far superior to any other before or since. They stood against the lies and deceit and rejection of humankind's collective history and fought against imperialism, and I am certain that they would today join the fight against communism, as we must.

It Won't Be Easy

Over the last several decades, our education system has been inundated with Chinese doctrine. Our kids, and even many adults up to age 35, have been brainwashed. They are in fear because if they go against wokeness or political correctness (the public faces of this communist infiltration) they may be subjected to attacks on social media and rejected by their friends or even fired from their jobs.

In recent years, there has been a slow shift away from believing the lies (yes, lies) told by the mainstream media. Today, most people know that you cannot believe anything seen on cable TV, and that there are sources available to get to the truth. Great stations, like One America Network and Newsmax, and great newspapers like The Epoch Times lead the fight, along with the few journalists who have been defending our freedoms. They have suffered every kind of disparaging attack, including being shot at, robbed and harassed. The leftist and mainstream woke communist forces continue to try to silence them.

They will fail. They must fail.

It is important for all who love freedom to rise up and become citizen journalists with the courage and fortitude to investigate and report on stories that the media will not. We must all call into question whatever the established narratives happen to be when the facts don't line up, even in the face of further attacks and the threat of losing our very freedoms and livelihoods. We must continue to speak truth to power.

The evil power in our society today is, despite what they would have you think, in the corrupt swamp known as the Socialist Democratic Party and federal administrative state. These people have become so powerful and so dangerous to our very freedoms that we must hold the line, or the future of our children’s and grandchildren’s freedoms are almost certainly forfeit.

Today, things are beginning to turn around, that the line is being held. You can see that it is working and, despite opposition from the “Wokites”, we are becoming educated, and aware of what truth and freedom once again should be, here in the United States of America.

Join the Resistance!

If you are looking for honest sources of news to tell you the truth so you can make up your own mind, you can turn to The Epoch Times. Supporting worthy publications like The Epoch Times and watching reliable, truthful and objective news stations such as One America Network and Newsmax will only make America stronger. Subscribe to The Epoch Times! Stream One America Network and Newsmax until they are available from your cable network. If your cable network will not carry them, then drop your cable network. You don't need it!

Conclusion

We need to return to the original plan. The way our country was designed to be is that all the important decisions must be approved by the people, at the state and local levels, not the federal government. The source of power must come from the people, not the federal government.

We the People!

We must become involved again, as we were in the beginning. We must all participate in school board meetings, local political party meetings, discussions among individuals, etc. Some call this the “grass roots” but I call it the whole tree.

We have to stop thinking of ourselves as just roots of the tree.

We are the tree!

The constitution gives us ALL the power, but we do not exercise this power, because we either don’t know we can, or we don’t care enough. Whether by apathy or ignorance, we owe it to our forefathers, our descendants and ourselves to stop being either and get in the game!

National efforts are weak against entrenched Wokites. But the constitution has given us a way to peel back the power at the Federal level and bring it back to the States and Counties where it belongs!

Article V of the Constitution gives States the power to hold a convention to do just this!

But of course Federal Senators are a waste of time, as moving them requires activity on a macro scale and taking away their fist hold over our freedoms and takes away their power and their corrupted money flow.

So what you must do is two very important things. ONE, your must learn your rights! Go to www.patriotacademy.com and sign up! TWO, you must join the Article V campaign at www.cosaction.com !

Don’t just sit back and let these people steal it all away! It does not have to be that way! Get involved now! Do your part today!

Sleepy Joe Dusts Off the Old Al Gore Playbook

doughauptman@gmail.com (douglas hauptman) — Mon, 14 Sep 2020 20:01:07 GMT

What do you do when your child asks you for something and they really want it but you know it's not in their best interest? You say, "No!"

Okay so here is another sleepy Joe alert. So here he is again giving a campaign speech and going on and on and on and on about climate change and how good his plan is and how bad Donald Trump's plan is.

He says we're getting back into the Paris Climate Accord and he says that the problems that were having with forest fires and hurricanes are Donald Trump's fault.

So I just spent the last half hour or so while he was rambling and babbling on about this looking at historical data. Yes, humans affect the climate. Yes, Donald Trump and anyone with a brain acknowledges that. No, the trends are never as dire as they say they're going to be.

What he's saying right now almost is the mirror image of what Al Gore was saying 20 years ago and honestly in the last 20 years things haven't gotten that much worse. The rise in global temperature as well as the rise and the sea levels as well as the melt of the polar ice caps are all much slower than what was predicted 20 years ago.

Once again we see the progressive liberal left attempting to use climate to scare people into doing things that make absolutely no sense. Why doesn't it make sense?

Because the United States currently is one of the smallest contributors to global warming on the planet when you take deforestation into account. Controlled burning for farming in third world countries and others like China put more smoke and carbon emissions into the air and with the loss of trees that actually convert carbon into oxygen this activity is far more damaging than people driving gasoline automobiles and eating hamburgers. Someone should send AOC this update!

Forest fires are happening all over the globe and places like South America and South China where vast numbers of people are burning down vast numbers of forestland for farmland are the one of the main contributing factors to deforestation and global warming today.

Listen up sleepy Joe, that is the science. That is the real data that you and the kiddos writing your speeches don’t talk about. If you or your people come for my gas powered Corvette we are going to have a big problem.

So getting the United States into the Paris Climate Accord will do nothing to mitigate the rapid expansion and the majority contribution of air pollution from third world countries and countries like China that were given a pass in the Paris Climate Accord.

The problems that we are facing with the environment are not caused by the United States alone and cannot be fixed by the United States alone. The problems that are being faced by everyone on the planet are being caused by countries like Chile and others in South America that are burning entire hectares of land for farming in the Amazon as well as similar activities happening all over Southeast China as well as unfettered industrial pollution of every kind by these same counties.

If mitigation of global warming was ever even a possibility those countries would have to be dealt with first and honestly, I don't see how that can happen. So really the solution is not some Green New Deal that throws an entire generation or two in the United States into poverty while we create some kind of ridiculous Maoist net-zero farming and net-zero production commune.

A solution would be to lead in innovation and work with these other countries to help them solve the problem that is at the root of what's going on right now. That can’t be done if we are not economically strong. His plan would certainly weaken our economy not to mention the incentive to innovate and develop new technologies. Despite what these children communist speechwriters may think, those things are driven by economic incentives, not the goodness of people’s hearts.

So this dope keeps riding along with his globalist buddies and he continues to bash America and blame America and completely ignore his buddies that have been enriching him and are really toting the globalist’s line by actually ignoring the fact that the majority of the cause of global warming right now is, as I said in fact, not the United States but South America and Southeast China.

Also you could throw India in there but honestly I just can't stand to sit here and listen to him talk about how the Green New Deal is going to fix global warming when anybody with a thinking brain knows that the problem is much larger an infinitely more complex than just whether or not we drive gas or electric cars and I just need people to really think about what's going on in this election.

Would they use military force to make these other countries comply with their cause to "save the planet"? Actually I can see that happening, which is all the more reason to get them out of OUR government!

These people that are writing his speeches are a bunch of twenty and thirty-somethings that think that they're smart that went to college and took English and literature and majored in cultural studies and are totally brainwashed and they are on a mission to destroy our way of life so they can hop skip and jump past entire generations of Baby Boomers and Gen-Xers who worked hard all their lives. So they think.

These are lazy and bad children who mostly are doing this so that they can take over and they themselves live some kind of fantasy utopian life. Too bad they're too young and ignorant to understand that the very policy proposals that they're trying to put in place have been tried before at great human cost and that there's absolutely no reason to think that these barely educated and under experienced children would be able to take the reins away from the people currently making the important decisions and do any better. I think they would mess everything up beyond recognition.

If history is any indicator the likely outcome if they get their way is that the complete opposite would be true, these young people would completely screw everything up and lead to the kind of apocalyptic death and devastation that they're trying to scare you with. So don't you believe it, this muck muck sleepy Joe is vomiting out of his mouth.

Let me ask you, would you let your son or daughter in their twenties or thirties be in charge of your company or your finances? Of course you wouldn't!

So this is the very same kind of choice that we're looking at. Joe Biden would have all the children that are telling him what to do be in charge and tell him what's best because clearly he doesn't understand anything.

His position has changed from this to that and back from that to this to the other thing so many times that I don't know if anybody can keep track of how many times he's flip-flopped.

So let's be clear here, we're not talking about whatever sleepy Joe thinks or would do if elected but we're talking about what these 20-somethings and 30-somethings are telling him to think and what they want him to do.

So, what do you do when your child asks you for something and they really want it but you know it's not in their best interest? You just say no!

Wake up America! Let's not let these children take over!

There is but one way to roll back this out of control system and restore the government without violence and that is an Article V convention.

Article V of the U.S. Constitution gives states the power to call a Convention of States to propose amendments. It takes 34 states to call the convention and 38 to ratify any amendments that are proposed.

There is a grass root movement to call a Convention of States and WE NEED YOU!

Join this cause today!

After Over 2000 Years of Progress Women Are Once Again Being Oppressed

doughauptman@gmail.com (douglas hauptman) — Mon, 14 Sep 2020 16:17:06 GMT

Modern psychology explains it: without face we don't exist as independent beings

2300 years ago long before Islam Arabs discovered that forcing people to cover their nose and mouth broke their will and individuality and depersonalized them. It made them submissive and that's why they impose on every woman the mandatory use of fabric over her face.

Then Islam turned it into the woman symbol of submission to Allah, the man owner of the Harem, and the King.

Modern psychology explains it: without face we don't exist as independent beings. The child looks in the mirror between the ages of 2 and 3 and is discovered as an independent being.

The mask is the beginning of deleting individuality. He who does not know his history is condemned to repeat it.

So even though claims that scientific evidence supports the use of face masks for reducing the transmission of respiratory diseases including COVID-19 may be true I believe that the government does not have the right to force people to wear them except perhaps under extreme circumstances.

Unless you want to consider the mainstream media's lies and tall tales and misinterpretation of the data and their reaction to those things ‘extreme circumstances’ then the government should actually leave it to people themselves to take whatever protective action that they feel is best for them as individuals.

So even though there is some evidence that wearing a mask can reduce transmission of respiratory diseases I think it is actually more than clear that politicians and people on the left are using this is an attempt to break people down and get them used to being controlled like in George Orwell's 1984.

Unfortunately for them they are really not so smart as they think they are, but that goes without saying. Or are they?

In order to fight back against all the insidious and regressive actions of the far left and the socialists marxist totalitarians that are attempting to impose their barbaric and ancient forms of government and control over us we must educate ourselves.

We must learn about our history and most importantly we must learn our constitutional form of government. We must know it well enough to be able to make and win the argument against those who would impose their unjust and totalitarian unconstitutional laws upon us.

We must reveal the truth!

Read on to see how to do this .

The Road Seldom Traveled: My Personal Journey to Conservatism

doughauptman@gmail.com (douglas hauptman) — Sat, 12 Sep 2020 22:36:54 GMT

Choose Wisely the Path You Take

Unlike many people who transition from the Democratic Party to the Conservative Republican Party my transition commenced long ago over a period of several decades. There was no epiphany or sudden traumatic event that caused me to jump ship. It was a slow slog against the backdrop of a long series of events and personal evolution that led me to where I am today.

My parents were baby boomers who grew up in the “rebel with a cause” period of James Dean and Elvis Presley. My Dad served in the Air Force, dishonorably discharged for an affair with the base commander's wife (who later became my mother).

They began their lives together as rebels, hard-working hippies. Normally, the word “hippies” conjures up images of really strange people who live in communes. Although there were many of those, the vast majority of hippies in those days actually worked for a living (bagging groceries, washing cars, dealing marijuana) and did not abandon the work ethics of their forebears, but “squished together” an awkward mix of sexual freedom, civil liberties and a new sort of morality that had more to do with love, peace and freedom than anything else.

This societal nuance is really lost in today's culture wars when talking about that period in our history. My folks resembled most of the young generation ascribed to the tenets of the Democratic party in the sixties and seventies, at least in the Bay Area of San Francisco where I grew up.

My dad was a UPS driver and my mom was a switchboard operator for Pacific Telephone. My parents managed to put together a comfortable middle-class living. They provided well for my brother and me. In-between their twists, trysts and arguments, they were also highly active as parents and very active politically.

My father was a union steward for the local Teamsters Union. A union steward (also known as a union representative or shop steward) is an employee of an organization or company but is also a labor union official who represents and defends the interests of his or her fellow employees. This is a reflection of the morality and political posture of the then Democratic Party before it sold out its working-class members and became a tool of, of all things, Wall Street and big tech (well, how the heck did that happen?).

My father embodies the perfect combination of a belief in the idea of hard work and the American dream combined with the notion that government has a role and responsibility, through labor unions, to make sure that companies do not rip off or harm their employees. I have always felt that this is a really good thing, to this day.

They volunteered for Robert Kennedy’s presidential campaign and attended every Civil Rights march in Berkeley and Oakland and anywhere else in the Bay Area with their two little kids, my brother and me, in tow. My parents regularly socialized with all sorts of people from different places and I was raised in such a way that I never saw any person as being anything other than a human being.

I can remember when my brother Ted and I were at the campaign headquarters in Concord, California, operating a campaign button stamping machine. We stamped hundreds, if not thousands, of those little campaign buttons. I also remember going throughout the neighborhoods with my dad, knocking on doors and handing out those buttons.

Robert F. Kennedy dedicated much of his career to public service, fighting for civil rights during his tenure as U.S. Attorney General and against poverty while a U.S. Senator. His presidential campaign brought hope to those who supported him, believing that he could heal a nation plagued by racial divides, poverty, and the long and costly Vietnam War.

But my most prominent memory was my father bringing us to the Robert Kennedy’s June 2nd, 1968 visit to Concord, where we lived. I remember the jet airplane he flew in as it appeared in the sky. People would exclaim, “There it is. There it is!” And I clearly remember the plane approaching the runway. As it touched down, the pilot revved the engines and the plane swooshed by…and then rose into the air.

It would circle and then come back to approach the runway once again, only to do the same thing repeatedly. It was at least three or four times that the plane would attempt to land, and then finally touched down to the nearly hysterical crowd waiting. This was a source of amazement and wonderment to me at the time, but looking back on it now, I realize it was because security precautions were so tight and that his life was constantly in danger.

After his speech (which I had heard many times on the radio and TV) extolling the virtues of brotherhood and peace, railing against poverty and the war in Viet Nam, my Dad carried me on his shoulders and took me to the very front to shake Robert Kennedy's hand. Bobby was moving very quickly down the line on the other side of a chain link fence where a great many were standing, reaching and grasping just to touch him. Bobby Kennedy was a folk hero. He was truly a person who people looked up to. My parents certainly did. I still do to this day, despite what others may say.

I remember it like it was just a minute ago when he reached out to shake my hand. He looked at me and gave it a quick firm shake, as if I was a real little man. I recall clearly in that moment, even though I was only seven years old, a look deep in his eyes, of hope and sadness at the same time. I later understood he was an eternally optimistic and hopeful person and perhaps saw in me some hope for the future. Sadly, he must have known his life was in danger and that he likely would not survive; that our country was in danger, calling him to do what he had to do.

But there was no fear, only hope, unwavering, eternal hope combined with a deep, deep sadness. That was a seminal moment in my life I will never forget. Forgive me, I always get choked up when I tell this story.

I was troubled and disillusioned for many years after he was taken away from us. I am no conspiracy theorist, but I think that most people, after having seen the evils that the swamp has perpetrated over the last years, know deep down that it was the swamp that killed him.

I will be forever grateful to my mother, who spent long hours sharing stories of people and places and the religion of my American Indian ancestors. Today, I identify as a Cherokee Indian, alongside my Scottish, Irish and other European ancestry. The story is told that my grandfather was a full-blooded Cherokee who ran off the reservation in Missouri in fear of being hung after having bedded my grandmother, who was half white and half Chippewa, as was the fate in those days for any “red” man who dared bed a white woman.

During those days during the Great Depression, the New Deal provided many great jobs of which my grandfather was a beneficiary. He, of course, became a staunch Democrat.

I remember my mother having to be driven back and forth from a pier in Oakland during the Occupation of Alcatraz from November 20, 1969 to June 11, 1971. This was a 19-month long occupation. My mom provided field support for the 89 American Indians and their supporters who occupied the island. The protest was led by Richard Oakes, La Nada Means, and others. I learned that peaceful protests can be a powerful tool to cause the powers that be to make changes. The months and years following this, and other American Indian protests, eventually led to heightened awareness and a certain renewed respect for my red forefathers. I'm happy and proud my mom did her part to make a stand.

All these things left an indelible impression on me as a young boy. By the time I had developed into a young man in my early teens, it was fair to say I identified strongly as a Cherokee, was for equality on all levels, was for peace and against war for almost any reason and voted Democrat.

That was then; this is now.

I was not particularly religious but I had a strong work ethic and by the time I was 21, I had launched a career in sales in the computer electronics field that turned out to be quite fortuitous and profitable. So, I left the struggle of working two to three jobs to attend classes, attempting to get college degrees and became a full-fledged businessperson.

This turned out to be both a blessing and a curse at certain times in my life.

Looking back at it now, I consider it as a net blessing!

But there were times in my thirties and forties when I was passed over for jobs that I was professionally qualified for because I did not have a degree and likely because I didn’t pull an “Elizabeth Warren” and use my Cherokee identity as a tool for advancement. My grandfather would have been terribly upset with me if I had done that.

Nevertheless, by the time I was 25, I had experienced a good bit of the good life and began to look at things differently. Whereas my grandparents and parents were constantly in fear of scarcity and looked to the government to protect them from the woes of poverty and recessions and such, I, having experienced success, realized that I didn't need anybody to take care of me.

That was probably my first epiphany and the first step toward a conservative mindset.

Then, as often happens to people who were raised by people with no sexual morality, I was often confused in relationships between the desire to have free sex and my inner conscience which told me that living a stable married life like my grandparents was the actual correct course. Also, since I was a high earner at that time, I was a target for women who could be described as “gold diggers” or opportunists. During the next 10 to 15 years, I went through a great deal of struggle in this area, which at each juncture led me to become more and more conservative and less and less liberal regarding that area.

But it was not the morality issue or the lack of liberals’ morality that motivated me to vote for Ronald Reagan in 1982. It was the fact that during the late 70s, I was keenly aware of what was becoming an increasingly unfair thought process within the Democratic Party. The processes of dissociation had already begun and were taking their toll on American society. Neighborhoods that I remembered as beautiful and peaceful were becoming run down and ever more violent.

Although I did not understand it as dissociation at that time, I just knew that something was wrong. All the Democrats wanted to talk about is how we needed to spend more money and raise taxes, which bothered me as a high earner, and yet at that time anyone could see that all the money in the world wasn't going to help the problems that existed in the ghettos.

Being raised in Oakland and the Bay Area from ages 7 to 15, I was bused from our middle-class neighborhood into the ghettos and experienced firsthand how things were for those people. Let me just say that the social programs were not working because all they did was throw money at a problem that was more cultural than structural. This is the topic for an entire trove of books that have been written. I will probably write one myself someday.

What is clear to me today, but not so clear to me at that time, is that there was a shift occurring and that the Democratic Party was becoming less representative of working men like my father and grandfather, as well as an atrophying morality, and that the conservative Republican party was becoming more representative of working people (and definitely more ethical).

So, take all this into account and then add in contrast that you had Ronald Reagan speaking about lowering taxes, American greatness, a thousand lights of hope and a city on a hill, and it was all just more in line with the American dream and the democratic values that I was raised on. It was a no-brainer for me. I cast my first vote in a presidential election for the Republican candidate, Ronald Reagan.

I also voted for Reagan for his second term. Things were great in the early 80s; the economy was great, America seemed to be coming together as a nation, everywhere I went in Southern California people lived together in peace and harmony and actually were having fun together. As far as I can remember, nowhere (and at no time at that place in the country) was race ever an issue regarding anything. Things went on like that for a brief little while.

It was in 1988-89 that I was the victim of an abortion scam. A woman who was my secretary flaunted herself and seduced me. Once she became pregnant, she subsequently had an abortion after I declined to marry her. To be clear, I have to say that as a willing party, I take full responsibility for my role, but I was awfully naive and caught between the forces of two social imperatives: one, the sexual revolution with the obligatory sexual freedom, the other, the traditional and conservative values of marriage and patrimony.

The two do not mix.

This was a deeply painful experience that I could write an entire book about (and I may someday). Suffice it to say that at that time, I was going through a combination of personal and financial challenges that led me to meet a man who invited me to Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa. It was in the company of some wonderful Christian people that I gave my life to Jesus Christ and became a born-again Christian at the age of 27 and at that time, began the process of trying to build a personal moral compass after practicing just the opposite up until then.

This would later have a much greater impact on my decision to remain in the conservative Republican party. But at the time, I was still searching and looking for answers, learning and growing. I would eventually find myself in a sort of self-imposed exile in Las Vegas and went through the next seven years, from age 30 until I was 37, rather lost and confused, but still working and growing and developing. Although I didn't know it at the time, I had put myself on a path of great renewal and substantial growth and success.

All of this had a profound effect on how I voted in the next several elections.

So, then there was Bush Senior. I cast my vote for him but later came to regret it.

His famous “Read my lips. There will be no new taxes,” was a bitter disappointment to many of us who were just trying to get ahead at that time, and there were the boiling controversies of the Iran-Contra scandal and other such things that eroded my confidence in the Republican Party. I wasn't sure really; I couldn't actually put my finger on it. I just felt that the Republican Party had begun to drift.

And then there were the LA riots in 1992. The 1992 Los Angeles riots, sometimes called the “1992 Los Angeles Uprising”, were a series of riots and civil disturbances that occurred in Los Angeles County in April and May of 1992.

Unrest began in South Central Los Angeles on April 29, after a trial jury acquitted four officers of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) for use of excessive force in the arrest and beating of Rodney King, which had been videotaped and widely viewed in TV broadcasts.

This had a deep and profound impact on me because I, like many others, perceived this as bad cops beating on an innocent black man. I could not dispel the notion that this was, in fact, racism. I was deeply shocked and turned off by the entire system at that point.

At that point in time, I was not sure who I was or what (or whom) I would vote for. I can still remember heading to the voting poll, recalling the speeches Bill Clinton had given leading up to the ’92 election. His calls for racial unity and fairness for all Americans and economic growth and prosperity really got to me. I literally flipped my vote that day on the way to the poll. He sort of reminded me of Bobby Kennedy. I was never fully convinced, but it seemed the best vote at the time.

And in like fashion, slick Willy tricked me out of my vote on his re-election in 1996, even in the face of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, the controversy over NAFTA, the China scandals and all the other sexual immorality scandals because at that time, I viewed his stance on racial equality and affirmative action more important than his problems with his pants’ zipper and I had yet to know enough to predict the massive job losses that would result from his globalist-leaning policies.

I really wish I could take back that vote.

Although I did not realize it at the time, Bill Clinton got a pass for being the so-called first “black” president, even though his policies were systematically destroying the very black people he and his party represented to help. Mostly what they did was help themselves to money and power and throw black people and other poor people in this country further and further into decline, brought about by dissociation and failure to see the actual root causes and, more importantly, the failure to address them.

So, at this time began the ugliness of identity politics, and by then I was absolutely certain that the Democratic Party had, once and for all, lost (or thrown out) its moral compass and would never again be able to claim any semblance of moral authority, despite how they desperately attempted to use dissociation, along with its ugly faces of race-baiting and identity politics, as a way to hold on to a hollow moral authority to stay in power.

The election of 2000 brought into focus the vast differences between the Democratic and Republican parties in the personas of Al Gore and George Bush, Jr.

At that time, I thought there was a chance to get things back together in this country, once and for all. Although “Junior” was a little too much of a blue blood for me, he was clearly not a racist and was pro-business and I liked that. At the same time, Al Gore tried to convince everyone that the world was going to end due to global climate warming and that people had no choice but to vote for him or else we were all just bad people doomed to roast to death.

I really dislike people who say they are “the only choice”. After all, this is America. We are free and we should be allowed to make up our own minds without some hoity toity politician telling us that he is the only option. However, these days it seems that with identity politics, everyone makes that claim, and I have sort of gotten used to it and try to look past it, but it still bothers me.

Yesterday was the19th anniversary of the attack on New York. I am sure I am just one of many, if not most of us, who can remember exactly where we were at that time. Although I have always been a “dove”, there was a certain part of me that became angry and really liked the fact that we were acting against the people who did that to us. Looking back on it, I think it was a terrible mistake to go to war in the manner we did. I think that it would have been much better to conduct a thorough investigation and hold the responsible parties accountable. I think it is to our great National shame that we all know with almost absolute certainty that in most cases we attacked the wrong countries for the wrong reasons. We are still stuck there, and President Trump was the only sane person trying to disentangle us from these endless wars.

I think there is a strong case to be made for protecting the Homeland by fighting off the terrorists where they are located, but even so, it is clear to me that this whole thing was a ruse formulated by the military-industrial complex and many people made unbelievably vast fortunes while thousands of Americans died and tens of thousands were injured, let alone the hundreds of thousands of middle easterners who died and who-knows-how-many-more injured. Today the mess continues 19 years later. We need it to end.

This is the very reason I am against further affirmative action because of the harm has come from it. Most people realize, once they gain enough wisdom, that government, despite its best intentions, often makes policy reforms with unintended consequences. Yet, for some reason, government is never able to recognize past mistakes it has made and seems completely incapable (or more likely, unwilling) to undo them.

Take, for example, the mental health bill Reagan passed back in the 80's, closing all mental health facilities. At that time, if you were a schizophrenic or were proven to be a danger to yourself or to others due to mental illness, you would be committed to what was otherwise known as an insane asylum. These were mental health facilities where people would be put for long-term mental health rehabilitation. The idea under the Reagan Administration was that local communities and families were better capable of caring for these mentally ill people.

But in practice, as we know today, it is virtually impossible for a family member to get mental health services for a family member who needs it. The result has been mass carnage with mass shootings, unbelievable numbers of suicides and unnecessary pain and death. I say “unnecessary” because all government would need to do is bring this up as an issue, recognize that the current policies were a mistake and institute policies that would address the issue. But this seems impossible for some reason.

For the same reason, we should regret the policies that led us to today's police state. The Patriot Act, which the federal government shoved down our collective throat on the pretense of keeping us safe, continues to violate our rights to this day and was used as a weapon against a political candidate in the 2016 election.

No matter who you like or voted for, you cannot possibly think that this is a good idea. Government needs to undo the harmful laws that were passed because of its knee-jerk reaction to the attack on 9/11.

So, I was definitely having buyer's remorse by the time I saw Barack Obama give his 2006 speech at the DNC. I will never forget the words, “there is not a Black America or a white America, but a red, white and blue America”. But once again I was let down after having voted twice for Mr. Obama.

Now that the record has been shown, we know without a doubt that he has violated the Constitution more times than any previous president by passing more executive orders than any previous administration and literally telling more lies to the American public than all presidents combined in the history of our Republic.

Not to mention the fact that he actually used the Patriot Act, the FBI and Department of Justice to spy on and attempt to overthrow a presidential election and then attempted to unlawfully conduct a coup against the elected President.

He then further reached far beyond his last days in office to become who I think was the person most responsible for the failed impeachment hearings and all the disastrous events that are happening in our political sphere today. Yes, I blame Barack Obama.

So, today I recognize that the Great Recession of 2008 was the result of another failed government policy that had its origins in dissociation and affirmative action. Anyone who is honest about what happened will recognize that it was the bad loans, millions of bad loans for $150,000, $200,000 or even $300,000 homes, given to people who earned only minimum wage.

Yes, home ownership is a good thing, but a 21-year-old who has no experience with a low paying job at McDonald's should not be allowed to buy a home. I was 42 years old before I could afford to buy my first home. That was in 2003, before they loosened up the banking laws. I had worked hard all my life but with all the personal challenges, upheavals, learning experiences and growth, I was not ready until later in life. Neither are most people in their twenties and still some in their thirties.

It was, in fact, the Bush Administration in their attempt to dissociate themselves from the real problems of poverty and black home ownership by gerrymandering the banking regulations, making it possible for so many bad loans to have been made that caused that disaster. As a result, the predictable outcome was that many people couldn't afford to pay their mortgages and since there was also a growing sense of entitlement among this group, many people often didn't have the commitment necessary to pay their bills. As what should have been a predictable result, foreclosures and bankruptcies spiraled out of control in 2007 until finally, in 2008, there was an outright financial crisis. A high school Econ student could have seen this coming. And there were many people like Porter Stansberry who did predict it. But nobody wanted to listen.

Home ownership for the sake of home ownership is bad policy. It resulted in bad laws that resulted in tons of bankruptcies that almost crashed our entire banking system. Government overreach to attempt to bring about some form of dissociative homeownership equality was the stupidest thing to have happened to our economy since the Great Depression.

Bottom line, equality in outcomes without equality in merit and effort will always be a bad thing when attempted.

Many people give Barack Obama and his administration credit for helping get us out of that problem without bothering to mention that it would never have happened had government not gone so far to attempt to bring their vision of equality to housing by lowering lending standards to people who were mostly of color and almost entirely not financially prepared for home ownership.

The massive problem with that is that, at the time, Obama was a Senator and voted to pass these laws that created this problem, did nothing to speak the truth to what the problem really was. He deserves credit for nothing more than being just another swamp creature with a touch of anti-white racist in him.

Or perhaps his experience as a neighborhood political organizer was somewhat lacking in lending him credibility as a macro-economic guru. He just sat there and let it happen. Then after his election spent trillions of dollars to keep the economy barely moving while supporting every ridiculous giveaway and entitlement, then walking out of office looking like a great man. I call bull.

So, like many other people by this point in 2015, when Donald Trump announced his run for the presidency, I had become completely disillusioned with both parties. Public approval for Congress, and government in general, have been at historic lows for the last eight to ten years and it is my belief that only a populist movement toward conservatism and universal morality combined with a reset by means of an Article V Convention are the only paths forward.

So one of my favorite sources to look to how we should be thinking about morality and government are the Federalist papers and statements made by the founding fathers. Most particular I'm fond of the farewell address of George Washington and 1796.

So I would say that my position today is that no free government or people who want the blessings of liberty can have it if they don't have a system that has a fixed definition and passion to adhere to all things that are just, that they would practice moderation and temperance, that they would be humble and frugal, and that they would be virtuous by frequently referring to fundamental principles such as the ten commandments and other commonly known dictums of common decency and good faith.

My grandmother, the half French and half Chippewah Indian, would always tell us boys growing up these things. "Treat others as you want to be treated. Follow the Golden Rule!" If I heard her say that once I must have heard it at least a thousand times! "Follow the golden rule," she would say.

That's also what Jesus teaches us. Treat others as we want to be treated. Sounds simple right? It should be, too.

So I am amazed how people like AOC can say that she would want to be treated the way she treats her political opponents. Tough love is one thing, but outright lies and personal attacks without any offer of proof is evil and she does it and so does most of the left and too many of us the right. Just follow the Golden Rule!

So, this is why I began in 2016 to identify myself as an independent. But it seems that my definition of “independent voter” is something quite different than a member of the American Independent Party, a far-right political party established in 1967.

That is not me, and I suspect not most people in the middle who identify themselves as free-minded and independent of organized political parties.

So that is why I founded the "The Free Voter" website. I took the idea from free voters in Germany, who participate in elections without associating with a registered political party. Usually, it involves a locally organized group of voters in the form of a registered association. I think this pretty much describes me and millions of other people who have voted for different parties on more than one occasion. It allows people to identify as a group of people pretty much disgusted with both sides.

For example, I do not know anyone who does not think that the government has grown incredibly big and incredibly intrusive. I have never spoken with anyone that doesn’t agree with the concept of term limits for career politicians. I also don’t know anyone who doesn’t think that there should be a fair tax system. I also don’t know anyone who doesn’t believe in school choice. And most importantly, I don't know anyone who doesn't think that the government shouldn't balance our budget and quit spending so much money on stupid and ridiculous things like free cell phones for people who can really afford them, and endless wars.

So, if I ever do form a Free Voter Party here in the United States, it will be based on a Convention of States call to action for an Article V convention, intended to:

Rein in the federal government and return the power to the States
Balance the budget and quit spending on corrupted things
Implement term limits and send these politicians back home before they have a chance to get entrenched in the swamp

So that is it. That is the story of how I went from Democrat to Republican to Democrat to Republican to become a Free Voter. I decided to write this article because, as strange as this sounds to me, I actually believe there is a majority of people that have been through the same roller coaster experience in terms of their political beliefs during the course of their lifetimes.

We hear about “Baby Boomers”, “Millennials” and “Generation Z”. I am “Generation X” and people of my age were born and raised during and after the Civil Rights era including such alumni is Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Barack Obama and many other notable people.

We are the ones most responsible for the free and unfettered thought processes that created the internet and have brought forward the tremendous innovations of the 80, 90's and 2000's. Everything we are doing today is based on the technological foundations that the people of my generation thought of.

Almost all of it.

Sadly, it is also true that there are many people in my generation who sit back and say nothing. They are okay with just minding their own business. The problem is that we are approaching a societal antithesis, a juncture in time when all people must let their voices be heard to begin to steer our country in the right course.

No free government or people who desire the blessings of Liberty can obtain it if they don't have a system with a fixed definition, and a passion to adhere to all things that are just, that they would practice moderation and temperance, that they would be humble and frugal, and that they would be virtuous by adhering to fundamental principles such as the Ten Commandments and other tenets of common decency and good faith.

Inaction is no longer an option.

You must choose.

Choose wisely.

The Diversity Delusion: A Book Review

doughauptman@gmail.com (douglas hauptman) — Tue, 08 Sep 2020 22:07:16 GMT

Other than our vast administrative bureaucracy, who benefits from the diminishment of education - and what will replace it?

In the mid-1990s, I was privileged to hold a position as Vice President of Marketing and Operations for an outfit called booksnow.com . Our business model was based on supplying books to readers of all the major magazines that offered book reviews.

So, I dealt directly with Time Magazine, Atlantic Magazine, National Review , as well as close to 300 of the nation's top magazines. In that capacity, I also served as an in-house book review editor and had occasion to write numerous book reviews for those magazines.

I can remember providing book reviews for Education Magazine which some of you may know was the publication provided by the National Teachers Association. This was before the current victimology and race-baiting culture that we find ourselves in today.

I also remember writing reviews on such titles as Dumbing Down Our Kids (see Amazon) and Dumbing Us Down (see Amazon) and other such titles. I do not think it was on anyone's mind at that time that this was actually part of a larger overall cultural takeover by progressive liberals and socialist elites. If you take the time to read these books, you will notice the one common theme throughout is an indictment of Common Core. But that is another issue.

I think at one time there was a sincere concern among most academics, teachers and other interested parties, including parents and students alike, that something was going on and that it was not good and something needed to be done about it.

However sad and unfortunate it may be that between then and now, the victimology culture, which has been leading the effort to bring us race and gender pandering, has corrupted our universities and is effectively undermining our entire society. It brings to focus the fact that something is very wrong and something still needs to be done about it.

I have been reading a lot of books on this particular subject lately because my daughter is a senior in high school and I really am concerned about her choice of college and her future. So, I've been reading lots of books, the most recent being The Diversity Delusion by Heather McDonald.

This book is incredibly enlightening and as it has been written with meticulous research and sourcing, I found the information in it extremely helpful in identifying problem areas in today's universities and, quite frankly, I am now more concerned than ever.

The bottom line is this: There is an extremely dangerous phenomenon taking place; universities are literally indoctrinating and brainwashing our children to resent the greatness of not only this country, but western civilization in general. Now, this can be correctly judged as just plain silly, but yes, this is exactly what the university delusionists are up to!

It would seem hard to believe that colleges are teaching children to resent our country and are promoting Marxist and socialist ideologies, but simply turning on your TV glaringly demonstrates what they're “protesting”, and what they're up to on campuses throughout liberal cities in America. It is painfully true.

So, I recommend any parents who want their child to actually get educated and not get brainwashed, READ THIS BOOK!!. It is a genuine eye-opener and will support your decision making process.

American Universities still must bend their respective knees to the free market. If parents and students refuse to pay tuition to colleges which offer courses that completely ignore the classics and the last thousand years of Western Civilization’s development in lieu of courses designed to help students better choose which bathroom transgenders should use, maybe they can get the message. In the meantime, at least you won't have underwritten the indoctrination of yet another Marxist dupe..

In order to accomplish this, you have to basically do three things:

1) You must come to really understand the nature of this diversity delusion that is manifesting on university campuses and which campuses are the worst offenders (Hint -- the VAST majority of universities are pushing this implicit “bias victimology” garbage).

2) You must also know the warning signs and what to look for in course descriptions, because they really try to hide it.

3) Ultimately, you have to steadfastly reject paying tuition for any course that won’t help your student learn the most important fundamentals.

Remember: understand, identify and refuse to pay for ANY course rooted in any of these offensive ideologies.

Your student is supposed to gain knowledge, not be brainwashed into an ideology!

I believe that after you read this book, you will be better able to make intelligent decisions that will actually help your student. If you really work hard at it, your student will emerge with a mind broadened and informed by the best that our heritage offers.

If you do not pay attention or help your students make informed decisions, more and more of them will continue to be funneled into groups that are exclusively defined by grievance and victimology.

This book not only provides great guidance, but also asks an important question: Who benefits, other than the vast administrative bureaucracy in the universities and government, from the diminishment of our students’ education? More importantly, once a broad education is lost, what flavor of flavor-of-the-month Marxist dogma will replace it?

Why Progressivism is Actually Regressivism: And What To Do About It

doughauptman@gmail.com (douglas hauptman) — Sat, 05 Sep 2020 17:49:15 GMT

Teach Your Children Well

Why do people insist on calling progressivism progressive? There is really nothing progressive about the progressives of today is there? If you actually study any single area where progressives have laid a hand to there is nothing but a decades-long litany of dumbing-down and repressing of almost everything. The humanities, sociology, the arts, even science, technology, politics, religion, engineering and math are all being repressed by so-called progressive ideology!

Take for example the barbaric erasure of Shakespeare from the canvas of modern life and in today's universities in lieu of the crude penciling in of today's so-called modernized art and literature. We literally are dumbing down our entire experience when we substitute the crude and sexual productions of today's stages and the imbecilic teachings of today's lecture halls with the far better and deeply moving and beautiful works of classics like Shakespeare and Mozart!

I for one refuse to pay any money willingly toward any University or institution that substitutes the classics for such garbage.

The other huge problem with this progressive movement is that it is setting back race relations and gender relations as a part of its process. The very actions that they are doing cause more to harm the actual progress that has been made on race relations over the last 50 years and in gender relations over the last 100 years. To set persons who do not merit above those who do based on gender or sex is a formula for failure. To call meritocity a form of racism is a formula for disaster. Any person with any common sense should be able to understand this.

What to do... What to do...?

The solution would be to identify at the earliest stages in life the places where people begin to identify themselves as somehow being disadvantaged and empower them with whatever knowledge and with whatever psychological and emotional tools they need in order to see themselves as fully equal to anyone else. The idea is to kill victimology before it can take root. Teach them that God loves them and that you love them unconditionally. These things also should be plain and obvious to any person with common sense.

However most importantly, this process must be conducted within the framework of a well structured family home. And so here comes the rub. Because the progressives detest the family structure. Most of them want to have sex with anyone they want anytime they want and any way they want. And raising a family with some type of universal morality and a well-structured home setting is completely inconvenient for those who wish to live their lives in this way. And it's an easy sell really, because this type of lifestyle appeals to people's lowest and most unsophisticated inclinations.

Yet because of the sexual revolution of the 60s and white guilt as a result of the Great Society along with it's affirmative action and fifty years and fifty trillion dollars worth of investment, our society has reached a point that to many just living a moral and sacrificial life for the betterment of society is just unthinkable. Too bad and so sad. If this remains to be the case we will have lost everything. Everything that everyone has fought and died for throughout history as western civilization progressed, yes progressed, to create the greatest civilization in the history of the earth, will continue to spiral further downward until all humanity is lost and people are reduced to tribal warlords and barbaric customs and beliefs.

The struggle against this begins by breaking the chains that hold us back and those chains can only be broken by a universal morality that is fostered in the home by a stable family structure with the intent of raising children absent of the ills of the previous generations. This is how over many thousands of generations the human race has progressed and it is the only way that our society can continue to progress. This cannot be done in universities or by government fiat. It can only be done in households with families as individual units all directed toward creating a better society.

"The early Christians rejoiced at being deemed worthy to suffer for what they believed. In those days the church was not merely a thermometer that recorded the ideas and principles of popular opinion; it was a thermostat that transformed the mores of society."

- Martin Luther King Jr., "Letter from the Birmingham Jail"

Those words are as true today as they were when he wrote them in that dingy jail cell. However missing from this viewpoint is the fact that we know from historical evidence that churches were actually almost exclusively held within the homes back in those days. And by the way most worship was led by the women of the household, a little know fact. Yet Dr. King had tended and as with so many people in today's society continue to tend to substitute the family unit for institutions such as churches, universities, non-profit organizations, governmental organizations and even gangs and clubs and other such social groups. This is simply not the successful formula.

The Focus Must Be On The Family!

My mind wanders to an old wonderful song by Graham Nash released in 1970 "Teach Your Children". Please take a minute to read these words and let them sink in.

You who are on the road

Must have a code that you can live by

And so become yourself

Because the past is just a good-bye.

Teach your children well,

Their father's hell did slowly go by,

And feed them on your dreams

The one they picks, the one you'll know by.

Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,

So just look at them and sigh

And know they love you.

And you, of tender years,

Can't know the fears that your elders grew by,

And so please help them with your youth,

They seek the truth before they can die.

Teach your parents…( listen here )

The wisdom in these few verses are Beyond Time In My Mind. Let us reflect on this song for just a minute or two.

"You who are on the road", speaks to everybody and suggests a progress, of going somewhere.

"Must have a code that you can live by", speaks to a universal morality that we all must travel toward.

"And so become yourself", speaks to taking personal responsibility for your own growth.

"Because the past is just a goodbye", speaks to the importance of leaving the past behind and moving toward a newer and brighter future.

"Teach Your Children Well", speaks to each person's obligation to pass the torch on.

"Their fathers hell did slowly go by", speaks to the fact that each generation gets better if we determine ourselves to do it.

"And feed them on your dreams", surely speaks to the need to pass that torch with all it's beauty on to your children.

"The one they pick, the one you'll know by", speaks to choosing how to (dream) worship God and how it is done and how that affects people's past, present and future.

"Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you you will cry", speaks to the fact that it is painful to look back and to make the spiritual changes that need to be made to move forward, to progress. It also says that each generation evolves toward a more perfect relationship with God, and that we need not judge this.

"So just look at them and sigh, and know they love you", speaks to the need for patience and the idea of the universal beauty of the family unit.

"And you, of tender years", speaks to the need to be humble in contrast to today's rampant narcissism.

"Can't know the fears that your elders grew by", speaks to the need for tolerance and open-mindedness.

"And so please help them with your youth", speaks to the need for young people to remain and fulfill their duty within the family unit.

"They seek the truth before they can die". Implores people of Tender Years to understand the nature of life and wisdom in the context of old age.

"Teach your parents"... the cycle continues unless broken by some ideology or other form of evil, because surely anything that causes the destruction of individual family units is evil.

If you are a person like me you now have tears in your eyes because of the truth and the wisdom of these lyrics and that they bring into focus and clarity what we are losing in today's society. Sad. Truly sad.

But there is good news. It is never too late. As we know from Genesis 18:32 “For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it.” I'm pretty sure there are still at least 10 around. But we must gather together and work hard to create and restore an American Society for Cultural Virtue. Won't you join me in this endeavor?

If you want to join the club you just need to understand and agree to the following:

Whereas, it's been widely recognized since the beginning of our nation that, as John Adams said in 1798, we have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion... Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other; and

Whereas, laws and public policy may direct that actions and behavior conform to certain moral standards in some regards, but in a free Society government mandate cannot produce cultural virtue in every aspect of life; and

Whereas, religion and morality are objects that ought to be fostered and encouraged by families, churches, voluntary associations, and the individual members of our society in every station who desire to better orient our culture toward goodness truth and beauty;

Now therefore, be it resolved for the undersigned that we will do all that is within our power, whether at home, at work, in our places of worship, in our recreation, in our commercial transactions, or in the public square:

To Foster and encourage individuals' worship of the Creator according to the directives of their own consciences;
To Foster and encourage the pursuit of goodness, truth, and beauty;
To Foster and encourage the recognition that every human life is precious and inherently valuable;
To extol the virtues and significance of permanent, exclusive marriage between man and woman as a unique, comprehensive union that benefits society as a whole;
To Foster and encourage the understanding that work is a human good, and that there is dignity and value in every type of lawful work that uplifts humanity and some form;
To practice and promote private charity for the needy members of our community as a natural result of private religion and morality;
To promote high-quality music, movies, books, television shows, and other forms of entertainment that foster or encourage virtue;
To reject and oppose the promotion of immoral sexual behavior, both in life and in music, movies, books, television shows, or other forms of entertainment;
To reject and oppose businesses or industries that promote the view of women and girls as sexual objects, as well as those that promote or condone the destruction of human innocent human life;
To reject and oppose the use of obscenity, vulgarity, and profanity, as well as the use of racial or ethnic slurs in conversation, whether public or private.

So now having agreed to these things let me just say a final word. If you are a flawed human being like me you know that none of us has kept the moral law perfectly nor will we ever. We know from Romans 3:23 that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." We also know that by His inconceivable mercy and Grace the hand of Providence has provided rescue from our depravity in the person of Jesus Christ and that those who trust in Christ become a new creation according to 2nd Corinthians 5:17.

No one is disqualified by past moral failures or current moral struggles, from running the race toward goodness, truth, and beauty or from encouraging others to join that race.

If not you or I then who will help our society climb back from the depths of depravity which have brought on nothing but discord and ugliness into our society today?

If you have agreed to all these things please fill out the form and you will receive your "American Society for Cultural Virtue" membership certificate free of charge!

Freedom needs brave people to keep it alive!

The biggest issue we are facing in the short-term is the stealing of the election from Donald Trump.

It is clear that the Democrats intend to use the post office as a method to attempt to fraudulently steal the upcoming presidential election.

So here's the inconvenient truth. The entire COVID panic is mostly a lie. And even if you don't think so you still must go vote in person. I intend to vote in person. Let us not forget that much blood was shed in order for us to have the freedoms we have today.

Freedom needs brave people to keep it alive!

Even if we assume that covid-19 is as bad as they say but you are not willing to risk your life to ensure that these evil people cannot steal the election then you deserve whatever socialist poverty ridden murderous takeover that they bring on if these people win.

I know that sounds kind of harsh but it is just the truth. We must all collectively grow a pair and be brave and fight and speak out and do not let these evil totalitarian hypocritical people steal this election or even attempt to steal another election.

We the People must make it known that we are going to vote in person. That we will not accept any election outcome that overthrows President Trump as a result of so-called boggus mail-in ballots.

We just must not accept it. And the first step in not accepting it is not to participate in it.

Vote in person! VOTE IN PERSON!

UPDATE! We had a petition with the exact words you see here on this page on change.org and they deleted it because it violated their policy!

Here is another example of liberal and progressive repression and why we must vote in person!

Please share this post to spread this important work and thanks!

Insights into Kamala Harris' Busing Story

doughauptman@gmail.com (douglas hauptman) — Sun, 30 Aug 2020 01:38:46 GMT

For most of you who do not have time or inclination to do the research, Kamala Harris was never disadvantaged in any way.

Her parents were both highly paid professors. Her father was a highly paid Marxist economy professor at Stanford and they lived in a very nice part of Berkeley California, not Oakland, until she was 12 at which time they moved to a very wealthy part of Canada where he accepted and even higher position for a university out there, teaching you know what, Marxist economic theory.

So she was actually raised in a PRIVILEGED culture being raised by radical foreigners who came to this country and were blessed by upper education and high incomes who then went into the education field and worked furiously indoctrinating our students and culture as much as they were able into radical Marxist theories.

Thanks to people like Kamala's dad we have rioting in the streets and young people graduating from colleges thinking that the only thing to do to create a utopian society is to use violence to accomplish their unrealistic Marxist goals.

Furthermore than that, I lived in Oakland California during the time that she claims to have been bussed there. I can tell you from personal experience that the actual busing that went on there was totally different than what she describes.

I could write a book on it or at least an essay and I probably will sometime soon. But just let it be known that what she is saying about that is a complete lie and resembles nothing whatsoever to how it was at that time because I was there in Oakland, right next to Berkeley, and actually lived in the place that could be called Ground Zero of bussing in this country.

For me it was in fact a rich experience that provided me with a far better education than was available in other parts of the country.

The busing there in the Bay Area of California (Alameda-Contra Costa County) was brought forth by a movement for a measure known as Proposition 13 and it was a wide-ranging advanced program that not only integrated the schools but dramatically raised the level of education for all students from all backgrounds and all economic levels. The actual Prop 13 was not passed until the late 70's but the lead up to it had begun more than 10 years earlier.

Although I was also the victim of anti-racism, being white, I can remember being robbed of my lunch money daily until I learned how to run and fight, between learning to be street smart and having an advanced education opportunity I believe that I came out ahead of most people that went to school anywhere else at that time in this country.

I came out of it both street smart AND very well educated.

I think it is very likely that Kamala herself was a beneficiary of this advanced education program and therefore was given a head start in her life in a way that allowed her to accomplish the things that she has accomplished. Certainly, it is not because she's any smarter, certainly it's not because she has any sort of perspective that is better than anyone else's.

I would say that it's most likely that since she was black, she was on The Bullying side of picking on people like me and learned how to be a bully and get away with it during that time, or at the least, watched it going on and learned all the wrong lessons from it.

You certainly don't hear her talk about how the minority white students being bussed were literally terrorized by many black children who were raised by racist parents. Let us not forget the home of the Black Panthers is Oakland.

Today there are many people that share these same characteristics of bullying and picking on and trying to take things away from white people while simultaneously accusing those white people (who really want nothing but to get along) of being racist.

Far from being an intellectual she is just an average intelligence bully raised in an absolutely privileged environment where she was validated and empowered by her so-called Blackness and women-ness to rise to levels that someone of her actual acuity would never have been able to accomplish without.

I know this sounds pretty tough but this is the truth as I see it and being from that part of the country and having a better perspective than most people on how and what or what and how Kamala Harris came to be, I believe that this perspective explains why she is such a bully, such a liar, so empowered to be so power hungry, so deep down Marxist and represents a huge danger to our country.

I believe that the anti-racism (hate directed to the white majority) that she is a key champion of that is taking place will ultimately lead to the destruction of this country if we continue to believe the liberal lies and fall into the trap of white guilt.

We must not allow people of low caliber to raise to high positions simply because they try to bully themselves and because we feel guilty. We need to look beyond those feelings and really look at what the issues are and what and who can best run our country in terms of peace and prosperity.

Bottom line, We the People must Vote for Conservatives and Republicans or else lose our freedom and liberty, those are the only options that we are faced with.

Don't tread on me! Give me liberty or give me death!

DuckDuckGo Reveals the Extent of Biden Corruption and the MSM Cover Up!

doughauptman@gmail.com (douglas hauptman) — Sat, 29 Aug 2020 01:38:46 GMT

There are so many good reasons to research beyond Google and what you see on the MSM. Let's take a trip down the rabbit hole, shall we?

I just discovered something absolutely hilarious. You know how the left is always claiming how Donald Trump lies all the time. So I did a Google Search and you see all these thousands and thousands of thousands and thousands of citations of him lying.

So I started clicking through and I couldn't actually find a single lie. Each one of those stories was about the lies about lies about lies but no actual lies.

Then when I did find one on CNN a supposed list of Lies it was stupid stuff like about washing machines and things that were absolutely taken out of context and just ridiculous.

I couldn't actually find any instance of him lying and I've been watching almost everything he said for the Last 5 Years. So call me a liar if you want but do it at your own risk.

Now given the fact that I am an SEO (search engine optimization) expert, I see right through this bullshit. They (the fake news and marxist propagandists are SPAMMING the internet (Google) with fake information to make the appearance of lies when none exists.

Shame on you GOOGLE! If I did this for any other client they would literally black list me for breaking their so-called user policy, but not these people, Nooo.

Now on the other hand I did a search for Joe Biden lies and the first thing that pops up is this wonderful story "Readers' Views: Joe Biden part of most corrupt administration in US history" which you can see for yourself >> t.ly/fwSe

Oh, and here's another nillie! >> t.ly/3EkG

So if you look at the entire search >> t.ly/wAcE

You find a well documented litany of absolutely horrendous lies, not stories about lies with no substance, but real actual LIES!

Also, corruption OMG look here >> t.ly/7CGF

So there we see a litany of corruption that we ALL KNOW took place but what is most shocking is the number of articles that literally try to cover up, obfuscate, conflagrate and downright make excuses for his 47 year trail of corruption. WOW!

But now do the same search on DuckDuckGo and you see a stark contrast that shows that Google is literally scrubbing the most damning news about such matters as actual FBI investigations ad much, much more! See here >> t.ly/C1aD

We really need this loser as our President right? Right?

Just What Would Our Founders Think?

I’d bet anything the Founding Fathers would absolutely reject the current Democratic Party as a bunch of deranged people who are absolute traitors to our country and all the things we stand for.

They would without reservation unanimously agree that they are attempting to crush our Constitution and they would to a person fight to the death to put down these hateful people who have without any moral justification whatsoever began an attack on everything they and all since the have fought for!

I think that they would be in fighting mode right now. The founding fathers to a person risked their lives and their honor, their sacred honor, to break away from the tyranny of King George. They would not allow these soulless people to steal or forfeit all that was won at such cost.

Today we are threatened by the tyranny of people like George Soros, Bill Gates, countless swamp creatures in the bureaucracy and lifetime career politicians who want nothing more than power for the sake of power.

They think they know better than "We the People". But they don't and they are dead wrong about a great many things.

Everything that the Founding Fathers fought for and all of the patriots who shed their blood from then until now is at risk if we allow these people to continue to erode our Constitution and our freedoms.

We must educate ourselves and we must take any action that is needed to shed the yoke of tyranny which is being brought upon us and return our great nation to the roots of freedom and liberty before it is too late.

Now begins the real fight!
