And The Greatest Is Love.

A hope for a good and blessed Saturday morning to all.

So today's question is?

Are you a hypocrite?

And if you are not? Or you do not consider yourself to be? Please share the reasons why you believe that. If not with me or others? At the least with yourself.

It will be a cleansing exercise. Trust me.

Because I firmly believe? That given 10 minutes (or less) in conversation with you? Or anyone else for that matter? I can prove that you are a hypocrite. And anyone else for that matter.

As for me?

I know I am. And with well founded reasoning.

Similar to Doc Holiday?

"My hypocrisy knows no bounds."

But at least I admit it. And I am more than happy to share my reasonings of precisely why I feel the way I feel and why I view the world and this nation as I do.

And I see no need to defend myself on any level because of my beliefs. Because to my knowledge? There has only ever been one pure spirit in this world. Only one. Only one man who was above both hypocrisy and sin.

And they killed him for it.

But I digress.

We are talking about hypocrisy, or at least I am. Others are welcome to join in as always.

I believe that my hypocrisy is well founded and grounded in my knowledge of life, history and my own life's experiences.

My hypocrisy is based upon decades of observations and experiences. Of watching other leopards change their spots and then change back. Depending on the moment, or the profitability of it. As all politicians do.

But like most people I know of today? Few are willing to admit to their own hypocrisy. However, they are more than willing to point their crooked fingers at others?

But never challenge them or their own crooked fingers, or the foundations of their own beliefs. Or the facts or truth for that matter

Because to be honest?

They will never and they can never be truthful about any of it. Because to do so would require significant introspective and the accompanying revelations of just who they are; and the dichotomy of what they supposedly support, defend and represent.

As for me? I try to be unapologetic. Apologies for who you are? Serves no purpose, beyond the lies you intend to tell to defend your own self.

To obscure the dark side of your true reality.

And apologies are for the most part just that. They are lies. Because the person/s are never truly apologetic. They are just going along to get along and deflecting scrutiny away from themselves.

Going with the flow.

Swimming with the current. Mingling with the anonymous herd is what they practice. Because to do anything else? Singles them out. It marks them for all of the other plebes and minions to target and vilify.

Because we all need our boogey men. We all need our own sense of superiority over our own personal niche of reality.

We cannot step outside the commonality of agreement, that persists across the board in America today? Because to do so? Transforms you into the visual and identifiable enemy of those of approved thought.

And not unlike Colonel Nathan Jesup?

You remember him right? The character played by Jack Nicholson in the film "A Few Good Men?"

He was a hypocrite!

And what was it that he said?

Was their truth or hypocrisy in his words. Or was his dialogue, simply setting the stage for the climax of his vilification. And the abject destruction of what his portrayal represented to those who saw it then and now.

And what were his words?

"You don’t want the truth, because deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want me on that wall."

"You need me on that wall."

"We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline."

Truer words never spoken. Even if they were just superfluous character dialogue, for a film and its entire purpose?

Was to detract from and tear down the Marine Corps and those who serve/ed in it.

So ask yourself a couple of questions. Did you feel better about your country after seeing that film.

Did you feel differently about the men and women who wear the uniforms of the United State Marines?

I didn't.

And I didn't for very simple and well grounded reasons. And those reasons were and are?

That I have been there. I have lived it. I am one of the few and the proud. And I know what goes along with that title. Both the beautiful and the ugly. And more importantly? I know why.

And I make no apologies for it. Neither the characterizations in that film, or the true life experiences that I lived and that I know exist.

Why? Because I am a hypocrite. And as such? I can cherry pick the rights and wrongs as I see them and as I have lived them.

Just like everyone else.

And in all fairness to the character of Colonel Nathan Jesup?

I see the world very similarly and I always have.

As Colonel Jesup concluded:

"I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man (or anyone) who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom(/s) that I provide (and have provided), and then questions the manner in which I provide it!"

"I would rather you just said “thank you” and went on your way."

Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. (Or put on a uniform and a badge and a gun) Either way, I don’t give a *damn* what you think you are entitled to!”

And the very reason that I share the same passion and camaraderie with those words? As the intent of the character conveying them?

Is because I have done those things. Including the parentheticals that I included with his original speech. I was the victim of and the perpetrator of "Code Reds!"

But that wasn't what they were called either then or now. They were and are called "blanket parties."

And as you may recall? You witnessed the reenactment of one in another film. Full Metal Jacket. Where Private Pyle was the guest of honor.

Those films? Were not about defending either truth, justice or the American way. Those films were about making a mockery of of their intended targets. Which are and always have been: "Truth, Justice and the American way."

As it applies to the Marine Corps firstly? And America in general.

Those films were about pointing the crooked fingers of the allegations of hypocrisy toward others. Both at those in those uniforms and those who have served in those uniforms and all others.

Similar to what we see on full display daily in America today. Be it some entertainer, or be it some athlete.

Because the real purpose of films like that and other pious portrayals by the virtuous left? Is as Saul Alinsky once noted.

Use their own laws and rules and Bible against them.

And people ask me?

Why and how I cannot support these people and their supposed individual freedoms to express themselves in protest to America? While wearing the uniforms of this nation?

And why I cannot support their acts of secular indifference and their so called protest; of what they like to champion as their protesting of the evils of America?

My answer is very simple.

When you put on the uniform? Your first allegiance is to country. Regardless of the uniform. But in particular when that uniform bears an American flag, or the letters USA across the shoulders.

And before that? Your allegiances should be to God and family.

Those were my allegiance when I wore the uniform of the United States Marine Corps. Those were my allegiance when I wore the uniform of an active law enforcement officer for thirty years.

And those should be the allegiances of others today.

I did not then speak out or speak my mind on any issue. Not as long as I was wearing those uniforms, as a front line defender of the constitution and this nation.

Regardless of my personal beliefs.

Because to to so? Was a representation of and reflected directly upon those I was serving and representing with those uniforms.

Thirty three years ago? I was the front line police supervisor in the battle over abortion in Atlanta.

It was called "The Siege of Atlanta" by the media. Look it up.

I was on the front line daily. I was being interviewed by the media daily. And during a five month period during the summer and fall of 1988? I personally arrested over 1600 individuals during protests.

My words and acts were photographed, videoed and broadcast all across American and the world back then.

I had friends who told me they saw my interviews on the local and national news? In the UK and other countries while they were there.

They saw the reports in flight on airlines while they were traveling.

And as a result of my involvement with The Siege of Atlanta?

I personally prosecuted those 1600 protestors, for well over the twelve months after their arrests. Because that was my oath.

I did not arrest them because of their political or religious beliefs. I arrested them? Because they were breaking the law. And it never was more complicated than that for me.

And during all of that time? I was repeatedly asked countless times by reporters? What my personal beliefs on abortion were.

I never said.

I refused to answer definitively.

Not because I did not have my own opinions or my own personal beliefs? But because as long as I wore that uniform and as long as I had sworn an oath to uphold the law?

It was not my place to choose or take sides on what laws I would enforce. Or against those who broke those laws. Or against those who chose to break them, because of their own personal convictions.

So you see?

I could have been called a hypocrite. And rightfully so. Because I am against abortion and I always have been. In particularly, since I came through the enlightened years of my own stupidity of youth.

Here in the South? Some might say? "I never hear'd of such a thing! Or? "I never heer'd tell of that!"

But Oh! Yes they have. And those being honest with themselves, know that I am speaking the truth.

Truth? Justice? The American way?

Don't look for either of them in films today. Or in the words or deeds of those elected to represent us. Because those principles for the most part, no longer exist. Except in the hearts and minds of the inconsequential little people.

No? America is not perfect. Never has been. Both the nation and the generations of its people? Have always been and continue to be hypocrites.

Therefore, recognize that fact. Recognize who we are as a nation and who you are as an individual.

Do the best you can to seek truth and understand that you will probably never find it as you expected to.

But never apologize for who you are. Unless you are the essence of evil and the doing of evil, has been the basis of your life.

The only perfect being to have ever walked this earth? We killed him for it. And yet we are told to be like him. To seek to be like him in every way.

Which is to capture the wind. Or to stop the flow of the tides. An impossible task. However, we will not be judged by our successes or our attempts. Or contrary to popular belief? For our failures.

We will be judged for what was in our hearts and for what we earnestly tried to accomplish.

As I recently heard a man who said that he had died and had gone to Heaven for a brief time and there he met Jesus.

He said that when he met Jesus? Jesus' one and only question to him was this.

"What did you so with the life that my Father gave you?"

And seeing the fear and remorse and abject terror at those words? Jesus simply embraced him and showered him with a feeling of love? A love that he said that he had never known before that moment.

God and his Son gave all of humanity a task. To live and to learn and to attempt to achieve and understand everything from anger to compassion.

Including love.

And as the lyrics of the song surmise of God's commandments?

"The greatest is love."

Because when asked which was the greatest of the ten commandments? Jesus' response was?

"To love one another."

And in the instant of that word? All of the other commandments fell away.

Why? Because Jesus was and is the Word.

Few will comment on what I have said today. Others may click away the moment they see my references to Jesus. But I hope they will at the least read my words and contemplate my intentions of meaning.

And to understand love? We have to understand the opposites. We have to understand the intents and the intentions of others. We have to understand anger? Before we can appreciate love.

And as some have said? There is a very thin line between the two. And that is the divine purpose behind life in my opinion.

Many in the last twenty years have asked? "What would Jesus do?"

Jesus would never rise to anger!

But yes he did. First in his Father's house. When he rampaged and turned over the tables of the money changers.

Remember?

Or what of the times when he reflected the anger of others? Back onto themselves.

As he did with the woman about to be stoned.

"Let he who is without sin? Cast the first stone."

Jesus already knew? That there was not the first among them, who was without sin. He simply wanted them to know that for themselves. And to reflect upon them what their anger truly had manifested.

Therefore, while many may believe that the unachievable goal of their faith is to be as much like Jesus as they possibly can?

The truth is, they can never be like him. No one can. Therefore, all they can do is to attempt to learn. And in the end? Return to the father with a life's record of what they have learned.

And in the final analysis? If your love out weighed your hypocrisy? I for one believe that you will be embraced and loved, as the man mentioned previously was.

As I said at the beginning. I sincerely hope everyone is having a blessed day.

Semper Fi.

 

America Lost

 

What do you believe. 

Do you believe what the media tells you is the truth?  Do you believe what your elected officials tell you is the truth? Do you believe what these state and federal agencies are telling you is the truth?

Or do you do your own math. Do you do your own research of issues. 🤔

On a routine basis, I read reports where Mexican dug cartels, regularly enter Mexican towns and kill everyone who stands in opposition to them, or speaks out against them. 

I am talking about where they kill dozens of people at a time. And string the bodies up to overpasses etc. 

And they behead and mutilate the bodies. 

The purpose of which? Is to send a message. 

They do the same thing to local police officers and mayors in Mexico. Often ambushing and killing 6-10 police officers at a time. 

It has gotten to the point in many places in Mexico, where the only safety is in numbers. And by that I mean, the Mexican military. 

They go into these areas in force. With automatic rifles and vehicle mounted machines guns. 

Because to do anything less, exposes them to the same fate as the local police and government officials.  And some of these cartels have reportedly attacked them. 

So?  What do you think about that. 

Or are you oblivious to those reports. Because mainstream media in America simply does not cover them.  I do not believe most members here are oblivious. 

Or what about those who stumble across one of these reports on the internet? Do they simply click past it and continue to sip their coffee or tea or wine. 

I personally am afraid that is closer to the reality than most

people are willing to admit.  

Hells Bells! That's going on in Mexico! What the hell does it have to do with me. It will never happen here. Right? That is what car too many people think and believe. Because they are told to believe it. 

In the last seven months alone? Over one million illegals have been caught at our border. And mostly released. And that does not include the three times that many we missed. 

And then there are the reports of the last year or so? Where these cartels are terrorizing Mexican vacation locales and Americans there on vacation. 

Cabo San Lucas, Cancun, Guatalahara, Puerto Vallarta, Cozumel and others. 

In some of these cities, Americans have become victims and they have been killed. While on vacation. 

Couldn't happen here right. 

Well? If you know your history? It wasn't just the Alamo where Americans have had to repel these invasions of what were then called invading armies and bandits. 

In the early twentieth century? Mexican bandits routinely raided Texas towns. To the point that Texas rangers had to be sent in to eradicate them. And I mean kill them. 

Because that was the only way to stop them.  Read the history of Frank Hammer. One of two Texas Rangers brought out of retirement in 1934 to pursue Bonnie and Clyde. 

And pursue them they did. And when they found them, they killed them. Because that is the only resolution to vermin. 

Towns in Texas are already experiencing these things. Americans have to go everywhere armed in these small Texas towns and border towns. 

Because they never know when they are going to encounter these people, or what their intent or disposition is going to be. 

So believe as you choose, but one day soon, you may be forced to deal with the reality of an America lost. 🤔

Take a Knee.

 

Taking a knee. 

No big deal. Right?

Ever thought about it?  A simple act. Not that difficult. And yet it seems to represent so much to so many in today's America. 

But what is really being represented by this supposed act of solidarity. Is there more to it? Is there more to it than simple symbolism and supposed camaraderie? 

I believe so. 

Taking a knee, is symbolic of submission. Of surrender. Taking a knee is an acknowledgement of some form of contrite acceptance.  Of reflection upon some personal sin or short coming. 

A seeking of atonement. 

That is what is being represented by taking a knee. At least that is what it represents to me. 

Surrender, submission, contriteness, obedience. All separate words, yet each with the same meaning. 

So ask yourself. What and who are you prepared to surrender to. What are you prepared to submit to. To who and what will you seek contrite forgiveness for your sins. 

As for me?  The Lord Jesus Christ, is the only one who will rule over me. Jesus is the only one I will ever bend a knee for. Because I know what that act represents. 

And so have others. Throughout history. 

The Spartan King Leonitas, refused to bend a knee to the Persian King. A man who represented himself as a living man god. 

Yet Leonitas proved? That even man gods can be made to bleed. They are mortal, not immortal. 

And such is our present reality as I observe it. 

There are those who are taking a knee to visually challenge and oppose this country. They oppose everything this country represents and ever has represented. 

And they seek to demonstrate their detestation, by visually representing their disgust, publicly.  By taking a knee.  On a world stage. 

A place where their visual mockery will garner them notoriety. 

But what they fail to understand is this.  

Their act, while constructed and conducted as a stunt, is more meaningful,  and more symbolic, than some twisted view of solidarity that they may hold.  

Their actions are a direct insult and a direct slap in the face to those of us, who will never surrender our values or faith, or allegiances, on the alters of socialism and egalitarianism.  

So to those who take a knee in protest I say this. 

Go ahead. Take a knee.  Set yourself apart and identify yourself as someone who has surrendered to the evil in this world. 

Your actions will be noted and remembered. And either in this life or the next, there will be an accounting and retribution.

It Is Teh Fault of Republicans and Those Damned Evangelicals!

 

According to the media reports? Republicans and evangelicals are far less likely to get the vaccinations than anyone else. 🤔

Which is concerning to the left and the media?  For one reason and one reason only, in my opinion. 

One might think that the leftist and the media would be jumping for joy, at the thought of their adversaries and in their minds? Their enemies? Falling victim to Covid 19 and being made out to be fools. 

But their is a greater worry among them, truth be known. 

Follow the science!  Remember?  

That has been the battle cry of Anthony Fauci and the critics and those questioning Fauci's science from day one.  

We were told that we did not need to seek any answers outside of the Anthony Fauci world of approved science and ventilator treatments. 

And those who challenged the restrictions of use on hydroxychloroquine and zink and  azithramax (sp).  And any other treatment being proven by the professionals in the trenches, over the last 18 months. 

Was immediately discounted as heresy. 

Fauci was the leading voice that questioned what he called only "anecdotal evidence" and not

Science.  He called it?  "Unsupported by double blind studies and sufficient data to draw any conclusions."

Well guess what folks?

Welcome to the world of the largest double blind study, ever conducted in the history of science or medicine. 

And one way or the other? We are all part of it. 

And the greatest fear of a double blind study? Is that the placebo group? Will prove equally resilient or more so, than the control group.  

Because once that happens? It is proven that the science has failed. 

And right now? As of today?

We have over 100 million Americans in that Anthony Fauci created control group. Over 100 million Americans who have been vaccinated and fully vaccinated. 

And guess what?

The control group is suffering; "break through infections."  And where as the original target group of the virus was the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions?

The new so called "Delta variant? 

Seems to be targeting young adults and children. Which is just more evodence to me, that this variant is not a variant.  But a separate and distinct virus on its own.   

And if I were a betting man? I would promise you that Fauci's "colleagues," have already told him that. As they did when they told him 18 months ago, that the coronavirus was an engineered virus. 

Yes? Fauci's own group of virologists were telling him in January of 2020? That the so called "novel" coronavirus, had all of the DNA earmarks of having been engineered.  

Yet? He publicly dismissed any discussion of that determination, as unsupported rumors and conspiracy theories.  With no basis in science or data. 

Data? Which seems to be his favorite word. Until it goes against him. 🤔

Therefore? Should we expect anything else from Anthomy Fauci concerning the Delta variant? Or what he is now saying may be looming in our future. Something that he now says, may be far worse than the Delta variant?

I believe so. 

As I believe that Dr. Anthony "Frankenstein" Fauci, knows exactly what is happening and why. 

Because he has been ass deep in the creation of these malignant and engineered viruses that have been loosed upon the world, from day one. 

And he and the so called "scientific" community, know that too. 🤔

Our Immediate Future

 

So.   What can we look forward to this week from Washington and their media. 

I say the further ramping up of the mask mandates and vaccination shaming by democrats and their lap dog media. 

Added to that, a soon to be nation wide mandate of vaccination, via mandates against the military and all federal employees and all federal contractors. 

And of course? The corporate sector will follow suit, as they are already doing.  

Which means that at sometime in the near future? If you cannot probe that you have taken their vaccinations? You won't be able to shop, eat at any restaurant, travel or do anything. 

And there will be another nation wide lock down.  

Combine that with futher obfuscating by the white house mouth piece Jen Psaki, on the reality of break through infections and the true death tolls being reported. Or not being reported, because the numbers are being led by those  previously "fully vaccinated."

I am now fully if the belief that these vaccinations are now causing the increased and rapid spread of the virus. As has been evidenced in a number of locations in America, and in Israel and in Iceland and other countries. 

Either that?  Or they have unleashed new viruses on the world. 

Added to that will be the further waffling by the CDC, on cause and effect.  And more masking and more mandated vaccinations. 

This will be the extent of information by a CDC, which has become thoroughly politicized by this administration and which has useless as a trust worty agency on any level at this point. 

I am hesitant to call Biden's administration anything other than an administration.

Other than to refer to it as the present Marxist pseudo regime of an addled and mentally transient puppet. And someone who is occupying the office of the presidency. While others in the background and behind the scenes like Valerie Jarrett and Susan Rice and others, are really calling the shots. 

And yes, we can count on the all star Tony Fauci, to remain the darling of the media, regardless of how many times he flip flops and outright lies. And regardless of how many times he gets repeatedly caught at it. 

The bottom line with Fauci remains, that the truth has finally come out. Concerning his directing federal grant money to the Wuhan lab and gain of function experimentation by the Chinese on gain of function corona viruses.  

And his knowledge of the viruses origins and who was involved from day one. As he was also aware that this was a man made weaponized virus and was as much as told that by his collegues in January of 2020.  

His emails prove all of that. 

Even so? And even though Senator Rand Paul has referred that evidence, along with his lying to congress to the justice department?

Keep this in mind. 

This is the same justice department that pursued the Mueller investigation against Donald Trump for two years. And this is the same justice department that lied and falsified FISA warrants to spy on candidate and president Donald Trump, his family and those in his administration. 

And this is the same justice department? That supposedly investigated Hillary Clinton? 

And determined that she not only destroyed subpoenaed evidence? But destroyed government issued computers and smart phones and violated the secrecy act on numerous occasions,  via her illegal and unauthorized computer server in her own home as secretary of state. 

And this is the same justice department that last week stated that they were not going to investigate New York or New Jersey or Michigan governors, for their culpability and proven evidence that they intentionally sent Covid infected patients into their state's nursing homes. Where they spread the virus and killed thousands of defenseless elderly patients. 

Yet this justice department and William Comey and the rest of that rogue's gallery of deep state enemies to America determined?

No harm no fowl against Hillary Clinton! Because she never really intended to do any of what was proven that she did.

So I guess the same logic is and will be applied to Cuomo and Fauci and the others. 

Friends?  We are way down the rabbit hole and it is only getting worse by the day. 

I am hesitant to say forget about the border? For two reasons. 

Firstly, that is precisely what the Biden administration has already done. 180,000 a month for the last six months have been crossing into America. Because of Biden and his executive orders to cancel all of president Trump's efforts to stop it. 

But more importantly, because we have bigger fish to fry now. 

The American economy is on a greased rail and we are all riding a hand basket to hell and utter collapse as we speak. 

Inflation is already up 30% in all daily commodities, from gasoline to food prices. And continues to climb weekly. 

And congress? And this babbling fool of a president? Are doing absolutely nothing to stop it. As a matter of fact, what they have done already in the last seven months, is what has caused it. And they intend to make it worse with their 5.5 trillion dollar "social infrastructure" bill. 

Part of which was vites on to pass? By no less than 17 Goo senators last week. Including Mitch McConnel and Lindsey Graham. 

And they know it and we know it. 

And now? They are doing all they can do, to attempt to shove another 5.5 trillion dollars in deficit spending up the back sides of all tax paying Americans. 

And keep in mind? These corporations already pay little to

nothing in taxes, so the burden falls on working Americans and small business owners. 

One look at Jeff Bezos and Amazon and Microsoft and Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerburg proves that fact. 

Meanwhile, they are ordering small farmers to destroy their crops or else? Evidence of that is all ober the internet. 

While at the same time keeping hundreds of container ships loaded with goods, off shore. 

And evidence of that is all over the internet. 

And these are actions which have already led to and are leading to more shortages of food and commodities. 

So fully expect not only hyper inflation, but also rationing of gasoline and food if this is allowed to continue for another six months. 

Just like Venezuela?  You decide.  

And lastly?

We may not have to wait that long. Because the very real danger looming on our horizon? 

Is Chinese imperialism and their stated intent to invade Taiwan. While threatening America, Biden and our allies?   And their threats are? That no one had better even attempt to intervene to stop them. 

They have told America, Great Britain and Australia and Japan? That there is not one damn thing they can do about it. And they have gone as far as to threaten Japan with a nuclear strike. 

And once the Chinese have Taiwan? They will move against Japan. Because at that point? 

I believe they will already have neutralized America's, Great Britain's and Australia's military ability to even attempt to stop them. 

And yes, I am talking about preemptive EMP strikes against any and all who could stand to oppose them. 

It is a brave new world folks. 

No more sneak attacks. China and Russia are more than aware that our satellites monitor their military movements and activities daily. And they have not been bashful about their actions or their intent. 

As they know, those movements and their military and naval build ups have gone unchallenged and unabated for well over the last ten years. But particularly since Biden took office. 

China has not threatened. 

They have promised us what they intend to do and they have warned is not to interfere, or else risk military conflict. 

And Biden and his joint chiefs have done what in response?  

Nada! Not a damn thing!  Nothing is being pre-staged or moved into the area to countermand China's overt and aggressive military buildup. 

And Putin is doing the same thing in eastern Europe and around the the Crimea. 

None of this is conspiracy theory. 

This is all verifiable fact, for those who care to read the daily reports and see what is being staged and for what purposes. 

Therefore, I truly believe that my fears of a preemptive EMP attack on this country by China, is eminent. 

So do as you please, but when the power suddenly goes out and your cell phone and internet are dead and your car/s won't crank?  You will know then what has happened.    

And who is behind it. 

But more importantly? Who's lack of action led to it. 🤔
