Sunshine Patriots

 This is on my FB page.

In my last missive I stated that my last missive was to be my last missive on this platform. As you can plainly read That above statement was not true, though at the time it was. So what changed my mind?

A long dead patriot from the American revolution.

Long ago, in the dark ages, our imperfect ancestors, decided that they had had enough of British tyranny and they decided to form a new nation. (This is Uncle Iggy's condensed version of American histoy) In the beginning, while things were looking good, and the days were warm and friendly, many a man rallied to the cause to drive the British away. And ,in the beginning, they were successful. Then the reality of it all set in. Time and again the British drove the colonists off the field of battle and men began to desert or not reenlist when their time was done. Disease, hunger and cold all took a toll on those men and many believed that the glorious cause would never come to be. It was during these dark days that a patriot wrote these famous words:

“THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated”
Thomas Paine, The Crisis

It is easy to write and speak up when the tide is in your favor. When the powers that be agree with what you say, but it takes dedication, determination and courage when the tide is against you. The tide is definitely against us and I refuse to retreat.

Simply put, until I am booted off by our communistic overlords, I am going to keep writing and posting what I believe to be true. They can force me out if they choose, though I don't have a large audience, but I would rather go down fighting for all our liberties,especially free speech, than give them the satisfaction of thinking they silenced another patriot.

The Glorious Revolution

 

Good afternoon comrades! The glorious revolution of the social democrat society is now in full swing and on total display!! We no longer have to hide in the shadows! With our glorious fearless leader wielding his pen, much like our ancestors would have used a sword, our future transition to the elite, dictatorial,one man ( soon to be one woman) rule will be complete. Soon our founding documents, such as that pesky constitution, will be null and void and all of our history and founders left in the trash heap of irrelevance because of our newly lighted path to perfection as dictated to us by our glorious leaders in the socialist technocratic party!!

I wonder how much of the above paragraph offends? More importantly, I wonder how many of you, if your allowed to read this at all, believe that this is a glorious time?

I have kept quiet for the last two weeks watching as a senile old man ( no, not Bernie, though he has cool mittens ) has gone on a rampage signing executive orders, signing more then the last 5 presidents combined, that has literally killed thousands of jobs, with many more to come, all while allegedly saying he wants unity??

And while this glorious revolution is taking place his folks at the DOJ have decided that all of us who might even think that something was wrong with the election, or we might be Christian or Jewish conservatives, or have the nerve to believe that a biological male is well, male, we are likely terrorists.

While this is going on the talking heads in the MSM are suggesting that we need to be, at the very least, “reeducated” if not interned somewhere in a FEMA camp until we comply with what they tell us to believe, and the technocrats are censoring folks over their speech and ideas to the cheers of our comrades in the socialist technocratic government.

The 1^st amendment guarantees the right to free speech. It doesn't say that you have the right to not be offended, in fact it was written especially for those that do offend you. I may not agree with you on something, but I will defend your right to say it, and it used to be that the liberals in this country were all about free speech for all. Apparently that has gone the way of our republic as well, being replaced by conformity to what we tell you is truth.

My question to all of you who think this is all good, just a quick question, what are you going to do when they come for you? In every revolution, everyone who is seen as any kind of threat gets eliminated, today it's likely to be a conservative or a religious entity. Tomorrow it will be the “intellectuals” or those who think they are elite. If they even consider for a moment that you are a threat you will be next. The Soviet Union, China, NAZI Germany, as well as many others have shown that you go after those you consider an immediate threat first, then you take out the rest.

One last question: if your argument is sound ,and based on facts, why are you so afraid of debate? Why do you wall yourself in and use the military like it's your own guard? What are the technocrats afraid of that they have to censor people? If your argument is sound then let us debate on the merits of the ideas not suppress them.

Taking the flag down

 

I'm thinking about taking down my flag. I haven't done it yet but I'm considering it. The reason? We are not the United States any more. Really we haven't been for some years now but the last two months or so have really finished it off.

Not really sure as to what flag I should fly. Should it be a google flag or FB, maybe twitter? Maybe one of the media giants? I know!! China!! Everyone in DC is in bed with them so hey, why not join the fun!

No, I have one that's even better!! We'll call it the “false flag” and we will have a picture of a tail wagging the dog on it. Our motto will be “fool me twice.”

Folks, I don't care what side of the aisle you are on, there are two things you need to understand.

First; there aren't “sides of the aisle” there is just one aisle. Second is that we are being played, once again, to keep us at each other.

Have any of you watched any of the video and audio that came from Wednesday's so called “Trump Supporter” riot ? If you are watching the MSM probably not. Go do a search for them, if they haven't been censored yet, and pay close attention to what happened. If they were rioting , why did the capital police open the doors and let them in? The videos are out there just go look. Why would Trump supporters, who are in favor of the police, suddenly become violent to the police? Why would all the police, of whom you can see in the background , just stand there, if this was an actual riot? If these people were terrorists or were actually attempting sedition, why didn't the snipers take them out. If all this is legit where was the secret service? Where was all the normal security protocols? Why was it that members of congress, the media, and police were warned that BLM and Anitfa were going to infiltrate the rally and yet did almost nothing to protect congress? The list of questions can go on and on.

The bottom line is this was a set up , false flag event, that everyone knew was coming. We all have been played and they will use this as a pretext to clamp down on us , and by us, I mean all us peons no matter your view. Don't believe it? Lets take a short trip down memory lane then.

The Spanish American war was started over the blowing up of the USS Maine in Havana, Cuba. Americans were told that the Spanish government had blown it up and got the people so wound up that they clamored for war. Later it was discovered that the ship had exploded from the inside due to likely a spark in the magazine hold. But none the less we had Cuba and the Philippines.

This tactic has been used for every war we have been in since then. Have a false flag event or an event that they knew was coming but didn't stop ( think Pearl Harbor) get the people angry at the alleged enemy and clamor for war.

9/11 was used as an excuse to limit our personal rights. The patriot act was supposed to only last 5 years and gave away many of our privacy rights then sent many of us off to endless war. 20 years later it hasn't gone away.

Don't think for a minute that this wasn't a false flag. They ( the powers that be) have an agenda and that agenda is globalism/socialism and they will take an event like this to crush our rights even further, don't believe it, look at all the folks who, in one day, have been banned for life on social media for having views differing from the “accepted” views. For essentially speaking their minds.

My flag will stay up for now but I'm not sure there is a point to it anymore.

Don't threaten me.

 

I am not a violent person, this must be understood before I say anything else. I have had occasions where I have had to live violently but as a whole I prefer peace and quiet. Having said that I am getting a bit tired of some of the donkey persuasion threatening violence on those of us who have, and still do support the current elephant in charge. For 8 years under the last donkey, those that are elephants didn't loot and burn neighborhoods and businesses because we were upset with the outcome of the election, we didn't threaten folks with violence and we didn't go all up into their personal spaces and get ugly with them. For the last 4 years we have been called every name in the book, and in this last year and especially since this last election we have been threatened with actual violence from the peace loving donkeys to include politicians.

Let me state again I am not a violent person ( this primarily for the FB thugs who may choose to censor this or me, communist much hmmmm) but don't threaten me. Or my family and friends. For the most part I stay in the background and observe, it takes a lot to get me into a place where I am comfortable around a lot of people, but never take my silence, or preference for the shadows, as being complacent. If you and yours come after me and mine, you will see a level of insane crazy that you wouldn't think I am capable of. I may not be able to stop a mob from attacking but I can promise you that I will slow you down considerably. This is not a threat it is simply fact.

Veteran Suicide

On this 244th anniversary of The Marine Corp and a day before Veterans day I'd like to take a moment of your time to discuss a very serious matter; Veteran suicides.

It has been suggested that every 85 minutes or roughly 22 times a day a veteran commits suicide. This year it hit me hard. I have had three people that I know attempt suicide with one, my dearest brother in arms, succeeding.

It is about him that I am going to speak. I will not use his name because I haven't asked his family for permission but I will simply give him a letter “J”.

He was a combat vet and I was his platoon Sgt. We met in Iraq early in the war and spent a lot of time eating some of the same sand and trying hard to avoid “lead poisoning.” We experienced much of what many before us had endured in war and as a result we became closer then family from our experiences.

He later went on to become a state trooper, worked for the IRS, and eventually joined NCIS. At the same time he married his beautiful wife and had two children, all of this while earning his masters degree.

On the surface everything looked great but the inner demons from war and some of his other experiences were eating at him.

Both his wife and children noticed that he wasn't as happy as he used to be and that the pressures of his job were really starting to tell on him. She tried to get him to go to counseling but he wouldn't go. She reached out to me to talk to him, and I did, even telling him of my own battles with PTSD and the fact that I went to counseling for it, but he still refused to go, and do you know why?

He was afraid that he would loose his badge and gun, along with his pension, if he admitted to having PTSD, and where did that thinking come from? The very government that sent him off to war and had him working horrible cases for NCIS. They have, and still do, see it as a weakness to admit that you have a problem.

In the end he did loose it all. The inner demons of hell tormented him to the point of suicide and tossed him over the edge.

He was not homeless, he wasn't on drugs, by all accounts his life was moving right along, and he was doing well, but he did suffer from PTSD, something that could have been treated, if he had been allowed to do so with out fear of losing it all.

While he was ultimately responsible for ending his own life. I don't blame him. I blame those in the government who would send us all off to hell to fight and then essentially dismiss or even mock us upon our return or a few years down the road when the symptoms start.

I blame congress for speaking about mental health issues and yet still doing nothing to address it and all the government agencies that put people in harms way and then ignores mental health issues related to it.

I even blame myself for not being able to reach him, but at least I tried, which is more then I can say about the powers that be.

I don't know what the best solution is other then to not go to war in the first place but I do have A solution. Give veterans,especially war veterans , more then just words. Many do have various addictions, many are poor and are living on the streets and many more are just able to get by on much less then a living wage, based on their injuries and illnesses as set by the VA, but most importantly they need a community that will reach out to them and help them readjust to life rather then shunning them.

PTSD is real and it effects many veterans in various ways, so instead of just a thank you, though greatly appreciated, really check on them to make sure that they are receiving all the help that they need then perhaps we can lower the number of vet suicides to zero.

The United States of Racism

For the last two and a half years or so, we have been treated to the main stream media and various politicians that have loudly pontificated about Russia, collusion and obstruction or a combo of all three. Mercifully it has gone away, rather quietly, into the void where it never should have been released from in the first place. I remember telling my wife that if HRC was to loose, which no one could conceive of in their wildest dreams, that the excuse would be Russian interference. Well I was right, that has been the excuse, but finally, after millions of wasted dollars and endless media gushing over every possible ridiculous theory of what was in the report long before it was ever put out, it has come to its predictable end. So basking in this glorious enlightenment of those that should have known better in the first place, we can get back to the business of running the country, right? Apparently wrong.

The newest bit in all this is now constantly accusing President Trump of being a “white nationalist” or a racist. The NYT and CNN (as well as others) are now taking the racist theme so far as to say that if you voted for Trump, or are planning on it again, that you are a racist and you have blood on your hands. Doesn't matter if you are black, brown, yellow or white you are evil, you are the embodiment of Hitler and Satan combined if you had the nerve to vote for Trump rather then HRC and you are the root of all that is evil.

The NYT has admitted that their goal is to show everything American, from our history and founding, to President Trump, is based on nothing but bigotry and racism, with their end goal of making sure that Trump and anyone republican or conservative never gets elected or reelected.

So how do they do this? First you distort and eliminate history. You rewrite history to follow your views and push it on to kids, if you teach them history at all,and when you do speak of the countries founding you eliminate the good that the founders did and focus on their flaws. Instead of focusing on the declaration of independence which declared that “all men are created equal”, you note instead that the writer, Thomas Jefferson, was a slave holder and therefore a racist and by default all the founders were as well. The fact that only about 3% of the southern population owned slaves is irrelevant. After that it becomes easy. You tear down statues and institutions and when people argue back you just label them as racist and destroy their lives in any way necessary. You don't need facts, you just need feelings and mental lenses that let you filter the world of a hundreds of years past through your own 21 century world view.

Ironically by trying to eliminate or alter history, with the help of media, the democratic/socialist party is actually trying to protect itself from it's own history.

No democrat voted for Lincoln, nor did they support freeing the slaves, in fact it was partially because they believed that Lincoln would free the slaves with out their consent they seceded from the union.

Only 3% of the people,rich democrats I might add, in the south, actually owned slaves,as I mentioned before, but even for most of them slavery wasn't the issue, it was the rights of the individual states to live as they so chose versus the rights of the federal government to decide how they lived their lives.

Democrats were responsible for the KKK and Jim Crow and segregation. They voted against the civil rights act, and women rights. The only things they seemed to support was for bigger government and for Planned Parenthood, who's founder was a democrat who's stated goal was to destroy the black community. This is historical fact, look it up.

The real racists are the ones that have spent the last 30 or 40 years dividing us by everything, including race, and pitting us against each other, rather then embracing the idea that “all men are created equal” and rejoicing in a country that offers unlimited opportunity for anyone who is willing to work for it.

Whats truly amazing to me though is that the very same people that are promoting “racism” in everything and the rewriting of history to promote that view are the same people who are profiting greatly by the very system that they claim is evil and racist. But I guess if screaming racism can earn them money and great profits why would they want to change it?

Falling Prey To Racism

It has been a long time since I have attempted to write anything politically speaking. I have stayed silent, for the most part, as the circus, we laughingly call “government” has shown us little more than smoke and mirrors, and have ignored the very things that they were elected to do, while trying to convince us that the bears on the unicycles and the flying monkeys ARE the things that are important.

So I have decided that I am going to go back to offering my own opinion on the things I see happening based entirely on my own experience and view point. Please don't take me wrong: I don't like either party or the way they are running things or say they are going to if they get into power. I trust the media even less.

So here we are buckle up and lets ride with the bears and fly with the monkeys.

I wasn't going to start with the concept of racism in this country but this last weekend changed some of that for me. I am not going to get into detail about the shootings either in Ohio or Texas because you can read all about it elsewhere but I will say that the one in Texas I found disturbing on a personal level.

I am half Cuban. My father was one of many Cubans who came here to the United States to escape from Castro. At that time all Cubans were admitted because it was clear that they would be killed if they returned. Having said that, by the standards of today, he would be considered an illegal or the more “PC” term of undocumented. In all candor I know little of the Cuban culture partially because of where I grew up and partially because when I was young it was not something I ever gave much thought to.

The Texas lunatic wrote many things in his manifesto ( I have not read it nor do I plan to ) but one thing he made undeniably clear, he hates Hispanics and in particular illegals. He drove 600 miles just to kill them. That kind of thing scares me.

I was at Walmart yesterday shopping with my wife, and we were by the produce section near the front doors when it really occurred to me that this is something that could have happened here, though I don't look Hispanic, not completely anyway, there were clearly others who were, entire families in fact, and I know that there are some in this state who are white supremacist, so it could have easily been here.

Before I go on I have to say that I don't believe that racism is a systemic problem in the US and is in every institution as many on the left would suggest but at the same time I would say to the right don't try and disregard the fears of those who have experienced it.

I have had several encounters with members of the KKK in the south and even here in the “liberal” north east and I have experienced the fear that has gone with it. I have also been targeted by “lending institutions” who were caught charging higher interest rates to black and Hispanic people for no other reason than they are black or Hispanic. Racism exists and though I don't believe that it exists on the level that the media would suggest, it has affected me enough to be very cautious in what I say and do.

I have never been fond of telling people my name. Most folks don't mind it much, but others have become openly hostile once they heard it. I have even gone so far as to use my middle name as my first name when being introduced so that I didn't give even a hint of my ancestry. But not everyone is a racist a lesson I have had re- learn. Case in point; I went to a gathering in memory of a dear friends mother. As my wife and I drove up to where it was being held, a double wide out on a dirt road, I noticed that there were a bunch of guys standing out front that gave all appearances of being bikers, generally speaking, my kind of people. I don't ride for several physical reason not to mention rather squirrely eyesight, but still people I would gladly hangout with. I didn't recognize any of them. As we approached I asked if we were at the right place ( we were ) but then the dreaded question came up “whats your name?” Now I am not one to lie and I assumed that somewhere in the house was my friends so I told them and waited for the commentary to fly. It didn't happen, or it did, just not the way I was expecting, in fact quite the opposite happened, first the guy who asked the question said “really? that's flipping ( not the word he used) awesome!” I was then introduced to everyone ( one of the guys outside was my friends nephew) and of course my friends were inside. It all went well.

Two things I learned that day; first I made a judgment call on race, they were white bikers who were going to eat me for lunch, I was wrong, and the second thing I realized was just how much I had been sucked in to this notion that everyone is a racist. It snuck up on me and had sucked me in and I hadn't even realized it.

This is the overall fallacy of the media and the politicians trying to divide us even in the wake of a mass murder, most people are just people, they are not racist, they are not killers of those who are different then them. The media is lying to us all and the politicians are banking on our beliefs and fears, dividing us into our factions so we focus on each other and our alleged differences rather then on what they are doing or their lack thereof.

So the bottom line is this; Until we can look past the flying monkeys and bears on unicycles and realize that the media and the politicians, ON BOTH SIDES , are stoking this racial divide, and fear, nothing will change. It's not about the guns or the manifestos, it's not about the victims of the mass killings, it's about control and fear as well as division. That's what they thrive on, that's what they will continue to push.
