A Crisis in Confidence with National Leadership

I have a crisis of confidence in the leadership of my country to effectively lead on my behalf and the behalf of the majority of Americans. This has been further exacerbated in the last week with the apparent failure of senior leadership to effectively and orderly pull out of Afghanistan followed by their inability to assume responsibility whatsoever for their failures.

First, what has happened throughout Afghanistan in the past several weeks that has culminated with the fall of Afghanistan and the debacle at the airport falls squarely on senior political, civilian, and military leadership. As Joe Biden has pointed out the “buck stops here” and now the question is how big or epic will this “blunder” be. I have no illusions that the Joe Biden made this decision in a vacuum as his handlers, I am quite sure, made the decision. From this day forward I will refer to Joe Biden as the Joe Biden Cabal (JBC) because in his dotage I seriously doubt he has one shred of independence of mind left. It is time for some resignations, retirements, and quite honestly some criminal investigations.

Secondly, how am I to support and believe any of these leaders when they are now pulling out every conceivable card in the effort to make me a test subject in a mass gene therapy experiment? I was totally disheartened when Lloyd Austin claimed that every member of the armed services will be subject to the experimental shot by September 15, 2021. The jab has not even been approved by the FDA yet for goodness sakes. Mr. Austin that in not a lawful order and you should, if you were still in service, face a court martial if you make in mandatory. The military leadership appeared to have spent more time figuring out how to give an experimental jab to all sailors, airmen, and soldiers than ensuring the safe exit of Americans out of Afghanistan. I can only wonder what is being done to thwart any military planning against the Peoples Republic of China.

Speaking of the FDA and their corruptions. I find it interesting that they will push through testing on experimental gene therapy and its acceptance for a disease that really poses no more threat to the population than a flu yet they will not approve CBD, which is not marijuana, for use in food. I really find it interesting that now a pharmaceutical company is claiming to have a patent on CBD, which I thought one could not get if it is a naturally occurring substance, and the marketing of CBD will become illegal. Hmmm, does this smell of corruption to anyone else but me?

Of course, do not let me get started on the EPA which has essentially become a tool wielded to shake down industry and business in the country along with the various other bureaucratic government institutions. How did we get to the place where government agencies choose who can succeed and who cannot in our economy? I must wonder about the type of person who would aspire to positions of authority in these organizations. Are they power hungry mediocrities or useful idiots for those in the businesses who use the government to protect and gain favorable market conditions?

Lastly, for today, is the utter contempt I have for the media and big tech in this country mainly for not holding the leadership of the country accountable and, in fact, blatantly supporting the leadership’s information operation. It has become so obvious that the system has become or is so corrupt that honor no longer is present amongst these vipers and they will do whatever it takes to provide cover and concealment to the crooked political class, the crooked senior military class, the crooked business class, and especially themselves. I no longer consider any of you authorities in your so called areas of expertise. You may have power and can wield in the material world more so, but you do not in my mind which is the real seat of my power.

Random Musings 1.6.21

Once again it is time for some Twitter (for those with a litigious bent there is a trademark symbol just after the “r” in the previous word) like random musings from the mind of a quiet, unassuming, at least in my own opinion, person observing the ramblings, rumblings and revelations in the media. Additionally, now I know that Twitter and Facebook would censor what I have to say any way.

I heard today that Lin Wood may have evidence of child molestations up to and including murder being used to blackmail prominent members of the political and executive elites in this country. Just the thought of this disgusts me and if it is true these people and people who would condone and carry out this sort of act to gain political leverage should be held accountable. My stomach roils at the thought of this happening and if someone has this evidence they should be releasing it so the light of day can shine of this utterly despicable atrocity. I mean having an affair with a consenting adult whether of the same sex or not is one thing but this is a crime against the innocent which to me is unpardonable.

The news was just turned off in my house and I screamed when I learned that voting is Georgia has been halted for the night. You have got to be absolutely kidding me!?!? What happened did all the cheats move from Fulton County to DeKalb County because they knew the light was shining too bright in Fulton County? Yet another you have to be absolutely kidding me moment!

I have to admit that when I tuned into FOX News at 9 PM EST I was pleasantly surprised that they had not called the election yet. Although I am sure Paul Ryan and Rupert Murdoch are giggling as they go to sleep tonight knowing that counting has ceased.

Rasmussen Polling keeps calling me and I keep ignoring the call. To be honest I am ignoring everything remotely “mainstream” and especially all requests for money. I am one step away from divorcing myself and declaring myself independent in mind if nothing else. Quite honestly I am asking myself why I even waste my time listening to such drivel when there are so many other things I could do. For instance read some Aristotle and other Western classics.

On that note, I will place equal blame on President Trumps election trouble and the fact the elections is so “close” in Georgia at the feel of Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney, Mike Lee, Tom Cotton, Ben Sasse and other milk toast, greedy, and corrupted Senators who will not stand for the sanctity of my vote. I have heard others say and I agree that the GOP is on life support and thanks to President Trump it is not dead. I for one will never support a GOP lead by any of these corrupt politicians who seem to profit from public service nor will I any candidate regardless of party who profits from public service. If they are profiting they are stealing from me and now I am convinced of it fully.

On a more international note has anyone noticed that both China and Iran have stepped up their bellicose rhetoric in the last week? I also see that Saudi Arabia is reducing their production of oil. I find it fascinating that over the past four years their rhetoric has quieted and they have, in fact, been put in their place more than once. Now, on the eve of what many believe will be a change in the Presidency they have become bolder. Is there anyone else drawing a similar conclusion? I would imagine it will be even worse if Joe Biden becomes President as the rogue actors who have lost money and power the last four years work to refill both their financial and power coffers. In fact, they cannot even wait for an inauguration!

Scam at the Fringes

I remember many years ago reading a newspaper, when there was still some actual journalism happening and not propaganda, about some people who were arrested for a unique scam. In the scam, if I remember right some bankers and or accountants set up a scam in which they shaved fractions of cents off of financial transactions which in large transactions or spread over a huge amount of transactions and deposited these fractions of cents were deposited into bank accounts controlled by the scammers. At first glance one would not think that would amount to a whole lot of money but since I am an engineer and work with numbers I will provide an easy example. Let me state that these are not the actual figures of the scam but for the sake of this argument I am presenting a simplified example.

Say for instance one is brokering a $1,000,000 transaction in which their firm charges a 10% commission. That means the brokerage firm that the accountants and bankers work with will get a $100,000 commission. If say, for instance, 1/10th of a cent is shaved digitally during the transaction of the commissions then if a penny is 1/100 of a dollar then 1/10th of the 1/100th means 1/1000th of the $100,000 is shaved or $100 is shaved. From this I say ok, no big deal, a hundred dollars will fill two of my cars up with gas with some left over to get a weeks’ worth of groceries. Please do not get me wrong I would not be happy losing the $100 but compared to the overall transaction the $100 is actually 1/10,000 of the original $1,000,000.

Where this scam becomes interesting is when there are many separate and un related transactions occurring in which this 1/10th of a cent is shaved and collected into this account or several accounts controlled by the same group of scammers. In the United States I am sure there are more than hundreds of millions if not billions of transactions happening on any given day. For the sake of this argument let’s say a $100 million dollars is transacted and 1/10,000 or this $100 million is $10,000. If a billion dollars is transacted in a day 1/10,000 of the one billion is $100,000. Now we are looking at some serious money that was made in a single day by shaving off the edges of the hundreds if not thousands of financial transactions occurring without anyone really noticing for a significant length of time. The malfeasance and illegal activity of the conspirators did not attract the notice of regulators and law enforcement for significant amount of time.

Why do I bring this scam up on a blog dedicated to the Constitution you may ask? Well, I will answer your question, it is because I cannot get this scam out of my head observing the events of the past months that have culminated with the election this past week. Specifically, the calls by the press and Democrats asking for proof of election fraud and making statements that there is no wide spread voter fraud. When I began to hear of this the previous mentioned fraud was the first thought that came to mind. Number one there is increasing evidence of election fraud. This is substantiated by the fact the numbers of people beginning to sign affidavits to the fact that they witnessed fraud, coercion, and lack of transparency belies this fact.

Secondly, I would like to posit that there may be wide spread and organized fraud hid in plain sight. Hid in plain sight similar to the fraud committed by bankers, computer programmers, and accountants in the scam I mentioned. It is just too convenient that a voter machine switched votes from President Trump to Joe Biden in Michigan that would not have been caught had it not switched a traditionally Republican district and someone actually looked into the switch. It is my understanding that this machine is used in over thirty states and let us say for instance 1/10,000 of the votes were switched to Joe Biden. Would anyone notice?

To imagine a scenario in which 30 states has this happen and 140 million people total in the country voted. If 3/5 of the states have this machine this would mean 3/5 of 140 million people is 84 million people. If 1/10,000 of these 84 million votes were switched this would mean 8,400 votes were switched and no one would notice. If 1/1,000 of the votes were switched this would mean 84,000 votes were switched and no one would notice because they are spread over thirty states and multiple counties. In this election there are more than thirty states who used this machine and in states with large populations.

Now, we have in some of the large cities controlled by Democratic Party machines where there are allegations of so many different types of fraud and we can see that taken each type of fraud individually it does not appear to include large significant numbers that could change the outcome of the election. You know the argument that 10 votes here and a 100 votes there will not be enough to change the election.

What bothers me is like the scam I presented below we may not be looking at the forest because looking at only the 10 votes here and the 100 votes there we are just looking at trees. These 10 votes here, 100 votes there, 12,500 votes dumped overnight in a counting center, 4,500 votes flipped by a computer program written by a company with definite managerial ties to prominent Democrat politicians, who knows how many votes counted without Republicans able to verify a legal count, states changing laws to benefit mail in ballots which are subsequently counted without signature verification without observation, states Attorney General’s changing signature verification requirements, a complicit Twitter, Facebook, Amazon and mainstream media, COVID and it becomes easy to see that there is a pattern. A pattern in which suddenly, to me, it becomes plausible and within the realm of reason that the criminal Democratic Party organization could be pulling of a massive fraud against our country. This vote is so close that all of these seemingly unconnected “small” events could add up and that we of the United States are being duped and having our freedoms being stolen from us in broad daylight.

I do not accept the results of this election as it stands at this moment. This apparent fraud must be investigated and shown to not be fraud for me to accept the results. Do I expect the DOJ to open a RICO Investigation? No, I would imagine there is a snow ball’s chance in Hawaii of that happening. I notice the press is ramping up their reporting of the COVID spike on the heels of the COVID immunization announcement. States are beginning to shut down again and I cannot help but be cynical that the political class is using COVID yet again to shut down large public gatherings as opposition to the election results grows.

Now I hear calls to just accept the elections and agree that changing the voting process needs to happen from conservative sources. What?!?!? No! This is the type of acquiescing that has gotten us into this situation. Do you think the Democrat Socialists will allow the voting process to be changed in a way that disfavors them? It will be uncomfortable to stand up to the thugs, crooks, and bullies. Let me tell you that it was not comfortable for me to train, go and live in Afghanistan wearing my countries uniform. To you conservatives who want to just throw in the towel I say grow some fortitude because if you do not my time in the military for nothing!!!

The Vietnam Veteran: The Forgotten Generation of American Patriots (Originally Posted on Veteran’s Day 2018)

When I was young, I started out in the work force and considering I was born when the Vietnam War was in its heyday, I could not help but find myself working along many Vietnam War veterans. In the eighties at a time that the end of the Vietnam War was slightly over a decade in the past. I can remember a gentleman who hid a beer can inside a hallowed out seven up can and could not get through the day without a couple of beers. I learned later that he had gone out on a patrol and was the only survivor of his squad. Another gentleman picked up a stick and within two days carved out a k bar knife in excruciating detail. He had been a US Navy SEALS and did not talk too much about what he did, but he did share a couple of telling items. The first was a story was about being dropped off in Seattle after his enlistment. In the story he was in a bar and someone called him a baby killer. He said within seconds he had the person on the ground and was about to tear the guys throat out when someone pulled him off. In retrospect how grateful he did not kill that man. The other about how one of his teammates had gone completely off the grid somewhere in the Northern California woods and would only talk with his Vietnam team mates. Yet another gentleman that I worked with woke up at 4:00 every morning to take care of farm animals before coming into work for a long day of sometimes manual labor. His eyes would at times go far away and mist up. He had been in the US Army Special Forces and he did not talk about what he had done or saw.

Moving forward slightly over a half a decade later I worked with a gentleman who had served in Cambodia and Laos in the US Marine Corp. He too almost killed someone when he returned home because he had been spat on. This, of course, was in California. He credited the Marine Corp with getting him some psychological help that calmed him down. He made the comment that if he had not been on active duty at the time and had not received the treatment, he probably would have killed someone and ended up in prison.  Later in life, when I was preparing to go to Afghanistan, a gentleman that I had met as a professional insisted that he meet with me before my deployment. A person who I had known for more than ten years and had worked on several projects with confided in me that he had served as a young enlisted man in the US Marine Corp doing a tour in Vietnam. During the conversation he asked me to keep confidential that fact because the people in the industry that we were professionals in would have, in his opinion, not favored his service favorably. He too mentioned the shame that our country showed toward these returning veterans upon their return from Vietnam.

I have spoken with many Vietnam Veterans and they all seem to have had some variation of the same story.  This was the shame that was heaped upon them when they returned home. Fortunately for me many lessons were learned and upon my return from war it has been so much easier to talk about PTSD and the lingering effects of being in a war zone and etc. I thank heaven this is the case because it is not easy and it is real, speaking from personal experience, and I now have a small glimpse about what they went through upon their return and what they probably still experience. I say this because being a uniformed member of the armed services in a war zone has changed me in ways that I would have never expected.

Yesterday I went to my first Veteran’s Day parade and I must admit I was nervous about attending. For many reasons I was fearful about what my emotional response would be. I experienced a spectrum of emotions including, as previously mentioned, fear, stoic tension, anger, laughter, and relief. I will not go into details, but I am glad that I went. Next year I may even try to cajole my family along since after all they are a veteran family.

What struck me is the overwhelming majority of Vietnam Veterans in the parade. I am pumped up that some many of them are stepping up to keep the tradition alive considering what they went through upon their return and in the years afterwards. What I believe is somewhat of a lost generation of men in this country is and has found its way back into society. It saddens me that essentially some of the best years of their lives were wasted thanks to Hollywood figures such as Jane Fonda and the leftist antiwar movement demonizing the everyday soldier. However, thanks to their sacrifice I and others of my generation did not experience that. I was heartened to see one banner that essentially said though the Vietnam Veterans are the lost generation we will never leave behind another generations. They truly are living up to that and I thank them for that. Happy Veterans Day to all the veterans and their families and thanks to all for their service.
