A Partnership of Success

Leave a comment

Nations are living organisms: biological – with an emphasis on logical – made up, obviously, of living, breathing people who share basic concepts of right, wrong, love, family, economics and social status.  The health of the nation connects to the health of its members, physically, but also to the health of its beliefs, religious and otherwise.  Some nations started because of religious beliefs, but most are or were tribal.  Weaving through hundreds or thousands of years of history – perhaps “progress” – nations either progress evenly enough that its members accept, over time, their relationships to political power-holders, elected or otherwise.  It is a function of “social status” noted earlier.

Wars change nations, usually by a form of cruel, expensive, bloody separation or segregation: almost purification.  If there were some semblance of justice in the origins and results of war, stronger nations, healthier nations, will result.  Former amalgamations of nations are distilled apart leaving nations comprised of people who more evenly – fairly – share the basic concepts of life and cooperation listed at the beginning of this observation.

Historians, of course, amidst their natural biases, justify or castigate wars along a spectrum of perceived fairness or righteousness in their origins.  However, time reveals the health of nations following the wrenching of war, and the correctness of the new or modified nation’s composition.  Is the society healthy?  Do its members accept, if not reinforce one another?  Is there a path for the divisions of social status to soften or encourage improvement of the economic and social status of its members?  If so, that nation will retain its shared identity and ethical agreements.

The advent of writing and written “history” of nations and wars, began a process that has left “modern” peoples with an image, at least, often biased and one-sided justifications of conflicts over the past 5,000 years or so.  The use of writing, long, long ago, was a tool of kings or emperors: ruling classes, certainly.  The recorded story would automatically be told from the outlook of “rulers,” and then, only of the victorious rulers.  As writing and reading spread through greater fractions of societies, somewhat truer, more accurate pictures of the how’s and why’s of wars have been “painted.”  Throughout, the tendency for dominant elements of societies – governors – to control what those dominated know or believe about the nature of the world around them and, more specifically, about the workings and intentions/philosophies of their “governors,” themselves.

Occasionally – very infrequently, actually – only once, in fact, a nation is (was) formed based on the best of the philosophies and histories that human history had delivered to that point and place in time.  To define that nation, the philosophies of individual sovereignty, responsibility, liberty and from-the-people authority to govern, and the reasons for employing those ideas, were written into the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and Bill of Rights of 1789.  Underlying all of them is the tradition of Judeo-Christianity: 5,000 years of learning what are rights and wrongs and how honesty and honor can and should dissolve lies and hatred and disrespect.

Through it all the Bible has made clear that the most powerful relationship with God is an individual one.  Fellowship and congregation are wonderful reinforcements for the individual’s ability to internalize the concepts of God and His rules for life and ascension.  Without religious freedom the evolution of souls and the growth of individuals would be impossible.  Without the lessons religion provides, the model for 2-parent families and effective fathering of sons and daughters, including economic security, would slip away.  There are those, today, who think the government will take better care of children than will their parents.  God forbid.

The Constitution is both a covenant and a unique, exceptional, partnership with the people – citizens – of the United States.  Unique among nations and history, the CITIZENS of the United States formed the government of the United States.  The founding had flaws, primarily slavery and slaves, themselves.  The problem that the founders hoped would fade away became the gut-wrenching lever that separated the states.  The Civil War became the awful medicine that commenced the cure of slavery fairly quickly, and the cure of racism that has progressed for decades afterwards.  But, in both the forming and preservation of the Union, God blessed our nation with the wisdom and fortitude to earn the right of national identity.

Our identity depends upon our general grasp of the IDEAS, the philosophies that underlie our founding and why the Constitutional model is designed the way it is.  As we select our representatives, governors and President, we should be looking for each of their understanding of our Constitutional Republic being a PARTNERSHIP that makes possible the success of every U. S. citizen.  U. S. citizenship is the “Gold Standard” of all citizenships around the world.  One of the prime tests of the right to lead Americans is whether the person seeking that power/status is prepared to defend the unique value of U. S. citizenship.  Anyone who would dilute, or threaten that value, by definition is unqualified to lead us.  Only U. S. citizens live under the protections and guarantees of the U. S. Constitution and those comprise the most valuable possession – personal property – of every citizen.

An example of PARTNERSHIP would be careful defense of our borders on behalf of every state and every citizen, with proper and strict control over non-citizens allowed to enter our nation.  An example of TYRANNY would be loose or virtual non-control over illegal entrants.  An example of PARTNERSHIP would be careful, balanced budgeting and management of the people’s money, taxes and banking/investment regulations.  An example of TYRANNY would be $35Trillion in national debt and $1Trillion owed in interest every year.  An example of PARTNERSHIP would be honest law enforcement and equal application/protection of the laws.  An example of TYRANNY would be use of law enforcement agencies and even courts, to persecute people because of their beliefs or politics.

An example of PARTNERSHIP would be telling U. S. citizens the truth about government actions and legislation.  An example of TYRANNY would be for the government or its agencies to lie to Americans… or to bring up for a vote legislation with more than the number of words than are in our amended Constitution.

DEATH BECOMES US

Leave a comment

Since the brutal terror-attack on Israel last October 7th, there have been “protest” actions ranging from building occupations at universities to outright vandalism to widespread hate-crimes and breaching of civil rights of Americans. The so-called protests were… are, aimed at Israel and Jews in general as though Israel caused its own victimization. Funding for all of the signs, flags, tents and food support comes from a variety of front organizations for Hamas and, ultimately, Iran. The marchers, occupiers and rioters are, essentially, shouting in FAVOR of murder: death to Israelis and to the nation of Israel, itself. The thinnest of membranes separates that desire from the very same for America, itself. This death business has become one of the largest businesses in America. Sadly.

Another death-rattle in our modern, “progressive” society is the aggressive abortion industry. One need not be an active “Christian” to grow up with a sense of the sanctity of life. Our Declaration of Independence lists our “unalienable Rights” among which are “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.” Little of the message of our Declaration is known or contemplated by most Americans, but many can quote “life liberty and pursuit of happiness” and most actually think those promises are in the Constitution. Shame on elementary education that the Declaration is so poorly known or understood, but if only one scrap were able to be widely known, “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness” is the one most needed. The sanctity of LIFE is part of America.

For 150 years the sanctity of life has been under assault from forces flying a variety of banners. One of the worst is eugenics. Unfortunately, the concept of perfecting or purifying the racial makeup of our population captured the backing of many politicians. The concept of choosing death of non-whites over education and opportunity is a sick one. Big names, like Harriman, signed on to Margaret Sanger’s effort to abort the babies of the less fit – mostly brown-skinned. How it is that blacks and others can vote for Democrats and their slavish promotion of abortion as a social problem solution, is an example of excellent “psy-ops” by Democrats to convince blacks that the people trying to abort them are their friends.

The concept to marginalizing, if not killing blacks, can be seen at work in “Great Society” welfare programs that have practically destroyed the black family. The whole miasma of “the war on drugs” that has produced 50 years of increase, has also yielded overdose deaths on a scale that once would have caused immense distress to “normal” people, but has become just a background problem for those “less fit.” Shame on us for not being nationally serious about drugs. They KILL upwards of 100,000 AMERICANS every single, damned year.

However, we have been programmed to believe that life is not part of the American way; it is only true if you don’t upset the oligarchy – and the Communists – too much. Life is no longer revered. Murderers are rather routinely let out of prison or not even prosecuted. The greatest murder machine on earth: Planned Parenthood, is a political force, able to tap into federal taxation/borrowing in various ways. Politicians seek their support. Churches are denigrated and polluted with popular fads, their normal defense of life as not just revered but, sacred, yet under constant assault. Children are indoctrinated with odd theories of sexual unreality, part of the great movement to disassociate Americans from truth. Halloween is celebrated more than Christmas.

Clearly there is a macabre fascination with, if not celebration of death. Great effort has been made to convince the blindly secular that murder isn’t murder if there is some overriding social purpose. Among such purposes are convenience, economics, social injustice, food profits, pharmaceutical profits, climate change and hatreds, including political hatred… so many ways to justify death as a preferred solution. Underlying many of them is a political belief that the Earth would be a great place to live if it weren’t for all the humans. Dropping the total population by FIVE OR SIX BILLION people, as many elite globalists would like, would make for some very uncomfortable decades. Large sums of money are being spent to achieve depopulation.

One political party has staked its success on abortion rights, on backing Hamas and Iran and on greasing the subversive skids of the Chinese Communist Party, the most murderous nation on Earth. The same party helped kill tens of thousands of Americans with stupid Covid rules and stupid mRNA injection mandates, and looks forward to reducing our population by reducing food supplies while still promoting these infernal gene-therapy shots to even 5-year olds and to everyone else in the form of “boosters” that limit and undercut our natural immune systems. The latest weapon in this attack is an mRNA technology called “Replicon,” being tested on the Japanese right now. Once at work in humans’ cells, this crap replicates itself so as to spread to other cells where it generates “spike” proteins, ostensibly to stimulate an immune response.

The trouble is, these replicating RNA strands can be transmitted to others in close contact, causing them to be “innoculated” unknowingly. Unfortunately, the well-documented threats to overall health and natural immunity are just as bad as from the original mRNA shots that people lined-up-for… until they got wise and no longer do. This would be a wonderful planet if it weren’t for all the people. In Prudence’ view the most tragic death will be of the United States, itself.

Killing a nation happens on multiple “fronts.” Obviously, killing all the people would kill the IDEA of a nation and its culture. Genocide is the worst war crime there is. But, if the ideas that are shared by the citizens of a nation can be eroded, even reversed, so to speak, that nation will die a different kind of death. As the process descends that nation increasingly exists for the benefit of others, not for itself or for its people. Soon its education system is teaching history (if taught at all) of all the reasons to be ashamed of the nation’s founding, ideals and actions. Then, enclaves of foreign cultures are invited in where populations of people with unassimilated and unassimilable ideas are allowed to grow to an extent that they affect elections, crowding out American beliefs and voters. Closer to the end, law and order, police systems, layers of the judiciary and national law enforcement are twisted into political tools for resisting or undercutting the members of society that still are passionate about the nation and its founding philosophies.

Finally, one political party commits itself to all the forces and fallacies that spread the many kinds of death that are threatening to kill the nation. That party should never hold power, again.

The Handshake of History

Leave a comment

Prudence feels that no one is making the right speeches that Americans should be considering and learning from. Consequently, it seems Prudent to construct one and give it to those who might benefit. A person who is receiving widespread attention should recognize his or her unusual opportunity to EDUCATE the populace. In the case of America, it is an opportunity to describe how the government is designed and the IDEAS that our Constitution embodies. Then follows the extraordinary opportunity to explain to the people how the person speaking will make the ideas of the Constitution come to life, guaranteeing the liberty and opportunity that are the inheritance of every citizen.

There are concepts of the Constitutionality and of the Declaration of Independence that should be clear and alive in the heart of every citizen. The first is that the principles of INDEPENDENCE from tyranny applies not merely to our governing entity, but to each of us, individually. That is, that the government has only as much influence over our lives AS WE PERMIT. In other words, the power that our federal government has must be GRANTED to it by we the people. It is done in stages by a process of REPRESENTATION. This means that we can select those we respect and who are honest and committed to OUR INTERESTS and not the interests of the government, any of its agencies or any political party. Thus, the lines of communication from “We, the People” should be short and unpolluted by the interests of those we elect to represent us or of those with whom he or she may be friendly. The interests of a political party should have no means of limiting or distorting the liberty, responsibility or legitimate economic opportunity of any citizen. There is work to be done to correct the sloppy intrusion of political parties into our freedoms and rights.

The concept of LIMITED TERMS for those we elect to any office, should be enshrined in law including amendment of the Constitution. The weaknesses common to all humans should be kept from increasing the power of governments to limit the liberties of citizens. In conjunction with limiting terms, the sources of campaign moneys should be limited, as well. Candidates running to REPRESENT the interests of a delineated, geographic group of citizens, should be limited to raising money ONLY IN THAT DISTRICT OR IN THAT STATE, if representing an entire state. The nature of representation would change abruptly if these strictures were in place. Imagine if a candidate for Congress could spend only that money raised in his or her district: no money from other states, no money from huge PAC’s, no money from foreign actors. That winning Representative would care very distinctly about the views and interests of the citizens who live in his or her District. How refreshing!

Regarding the Constitution, no one has spoken of its status as a COVENANT between the People and the federal government they were creating by adoption among the States. Essential to its role as a solemn agreement to do certain acts and to never do certain other acts, is the honesty of representation, individually and legislatively. Therefore, it seems far more Prudent to guarantee regular replacement of men and women serving as Representatives, than to merely allow the possibility of regular change. In order to effect elective change of representation requires challengers to expend huge amounts of money to overcome the “built-in” advantages of incumbency; this path leads to corruption of purpose.

As a COVENANT between peoples: those who are selected to govern and those who grant them limited authority and power, the Constitution is a PARTNERSHIP, as described in the Preamble: “We the People of the United States, [which is to say, Citizens] in order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, [which is to say peace and safety inside the country] provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain [a most solemn and unshakable contract] and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

Clearly the Constitution was devised to enhance the lives OF U. S. CITIZENS! At no point does it convey a power to change governments in other countries, to involve the nation in over 150 military actions around the world, or to conflate the money of citizens with that of other peoples and nations. Nor, does it grant power to government types to transfer money from some Citizens to other citizens, or to transfer the money of Citizens to non-citizens, or to grant the benefits of citizenship – including Constitutional guarantees – to non-citizens, or to contract DEBTS burdening “the People” that exceed the financial possibility of prompt repayment.

How would the proper PARTNERSHIP work? Foremost, it seems Prudent, would be balanced, detailed budgeting of the people’s federal expenditure’s and revenues. We have not had that for decades. Every “budget” and “continuing resolution” to “avoid a government shut-down” has mainly been a mendacious attempt to buy votes for the benefit of those seeking re-election. That is not a partnership. Deficit spending creates inflation – period. Inflation (of the money supply without corresponding production of wealth) is a slightly obscure TAX on every citizen-taxpayer. Inflation dilutes the value of money by measurable and significant degrees. Fairly quickly, the “dilution” of dollar strength causes prices of commodities and final products to rise. What used to cost $5.00 now cost $6.00 or even more. In effect, a consumer has been forced to pay a $1.00 “TAX” on a $5.00 item. But… but… no one passed tax-raising legislation!

Inflation, it turns out, is a federal government program! The government gets to spend the money first, and at essentially the current, undiluted value. Hardly anyone else in the economy gets to spend the diluted dollars at their “original” value. Pretty soon, productive workers are feeling the effects of inflation by not being able to maintain their previous standard of living at their current pay rates and pressure for wage/salary increases starts to build. The employer has to respond but must also retain a profitable rate of gross margin. He or she must raise prices to stay in business. It is a vicious – and cruel – process. People in government who have BORROWED money to spend more than the government’s income would allow (also committing taxpayers to pay the INTEREST on the borrowing) will talk about “fighting” inflation as if they have nothing to do with it (after all, they don’t set the price on vanilla pudding). It is all a big vote-purchasing lie. What sort of “partnership” is that? Where in the Constitutional Covenant did “We the people” grant such a cruel power to “our” government?

Two admonitions pretty-well cover good government and the nature of government as a partnership: 1) Thou shalt not STEAL; and 2) Equal application – and protection – of the LAW. We have a few, but very, very few, opportunities to vote ourselves away from perdition.

CHOOSING A FUTURE

Leave a comment

There are some very good reasons to choose one presidential candidate over another in 2024. Every quadrennial election is a national approval or disapproval of the presidential administration immediately precedent to election day. This is how the administration of (ostensibly) Joseph Robinette Biden and Kamala Devi Harris, president and vice-president, respectively, should be reviewed and judged by American citizens: approve or disapprove. What are some of the reasons to choose?

One of the reasons to disapprove of Biden-Harris derives from how the Trump administration was treated by elements of the administrative state and other politicians. Hatred of Trump was the driving force prior to and during his administration. Impeachment was being called-for before he was even inaugurated. Various celebrities and political influencers were calling for his destruction, including “blowing up the White House” on the day of inauguration. The FBI director, James Comey, sent agents to interview Lt. General Michael Flynn without a legal reason to do so, banking on the ignorance of Trump officials about proper White House – Washington legalities. As those agents questioned Flynn they noted certain points during the “casual” conversation, one of which had to do with his conversations with his Russian, soon-to-be-counterpart during the administrative transition period. Flynn, who had also served under President Obama, thinking that everyone in the conversation was on the same team, had not been told of any investigative or testimonial nature of the conversation, and he stated something about his discussions with the Russian that the FBI knew could be made legally problematic, and it was brought up on purpose during the “casual” discussion. Flynn never knew he was being stabbed in the back by his “teammates.” Trump never suspected it either, until the dagger came down.

Comey, one of the least trustworthy administrators Trump inherited, later bragged about how clever he was to slip those agents into the White House without the normal, formal preparation protocols. Flynn’s life and family were wrecked publicly and financially as he attempted to fight the charges brought from a minor misstatement about his actions during the transition period. The attacks on Trump and his trusted advisors and appointees only got worse from there.

The Covid “pandemic” was a near-perfect tool for destroying the economy and the medical establishment, while forcing a federal / Presidential reaction to unprecedented circumstances, forcing reliance upon the National Institutes of Health, the Center for Disease Control, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease and the Food and Drug Administration, among others, with the constant attempts to influence sovereign policies by the World Health Organization. Amidst the hurricane of lies sweeping across the world… starting in the U.S. NIH and its subordinate agencies and bureaucrats, reinforced by the Chinese Communist Party, multiplied by the W.H.O. and obscenely capitalized by Moderna, Pfizer and other pharmaceutical manufacturers, President Trump endeavored to organize the federal mechanisms to bring forth solutions. Unfortunately, he had no alternatives for medical advice, at least in the first weeks of the “pandemic,” than to accept the opinions of Tony Fauci and others within the federal miasma. Trump was not in a position to reject the advice of medical “experts.” Democrats were not in a position to oppose teachers’ unions.

Soon, though, Trump appointed another advisor, who was not compromised by the financial corruption of the FDA and the NIH jungle, Dr. Scott Atlas. Since his views agreed with most of Trump’s, Atlas’ statements were denigrated by the pro-pandemic left. As it turns out, however, almost everything Dr. Fauci proclaimed about Covid and the best responses to it has proven to be false, while the statements of Dr. Atlas have proven to be true. Shutting down the economy was the wrong response, masks were useless, and various means of treatment (hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin and combinations with other drugs and supplements) would have had far, far better results than ventilators and fluids. Indeed, the suppression of alternative, super-safe treatments, although “off-label,” constituted death-sentences for thousands of patients, possibly hundreds of thousands.

Later, once the so-called mRNA “vaccines” were released (after the 2020 election, of course, although the “vaccines” were being worked on IN WUHAN by Moderna in 2019, well before Covid-19 hit the streets), almost everything claimed about their effects and effectiveness has been proven false and, in fact, detrimental to overall health and immunity in general. Sadly, they are still being pushed as “vaccines,” even to children who have no need of them whatsoever. The federal medical establishment lied… people died. That establishment is overwhelmingly Democrat or further leftist. Their innate belief is that good derives from expert government, not from independent individuals.

As the grand Covid pandemic was being prepared (no blame to China, of course), the CIA / FBI “intelligence” apparatus, in conjunction with the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, was executing the “Russia, Russia, Russia” hoax, breaking multiple laws in the process. No one has been arrested or charged with these crimes, including the deception of the FISA Court with known-false document “evidence” and fallacious testimony to induce continued illegal domestic spying on the Trump campaign, associates and administration following election. After two years and $25 to $30 Millions spent by the Mueller investigation, nothing was discovered to link Donald Trump to any sort of Russian collusion, supposedly to influence the 2016 elections. Mueller obtained indictments of several Russian operatives unconnected with the premises of charges against Trump, but these are people who will never come back to the United States or be arrested: all for show, creating lurid headlines to keep the hatred flowing.

Ultimately, Prudence believes, the misfortunate good-fortune for election fraudsters in the time of Covid-19 hysteria, led to wholesale undoing of election procedures that enabled Trump to win in 2016. In multiple states, suits were brought to enable un-monitored mail-in voting, sloppy, un-monitored “ballot harvesting” by self-appointed individuals, and dispersal of un-monitored “drop-boxes” where individuals could deposit as many “ballots” as they could carry. All that was needed was a list of ineligible voters who still appeared on the official voter lists. A relative handful of operatives could distort legitimated voting totals by a few thousands of votes in a matter of a day or two. Despite the supposed record-setting Biden-Harris vote totals across the nation (some 81 Million), the Electoral College winning total manifested in 3 states by a supposed total of fewer than 50,000 votes. Ballots were accepted and votes counted that were unsigned or signed with unmatchable signatures, undated, from incorrect addresses, and days, even weeks, after election day, despite laws. One postal worker was interviewed who was prepared to swear that his boss had ordered him to pre-date the postmarks on a batch of mailed ballots, so as to be “legal” and counted. His testimony never reached a courtroom.

The 2020 elections, in addition to the irregularities injected by courts, in contravention of Constitutional requirements that only states’ legislatures could stipulate how and where elections and voting would take place, manifested dozens of electoral anomalies. That is, many voting patterns appeared that departed substantially from historic patterns. In every state every “anomaly” benefited the Democrats – Joe Biden, specifically. Ostensibly, the Biden stay-in-the-cellar Covid-19 campaign garnered more than 81 million votes, the highest total, ever. A key demographic for Democrats has been African-Americans: the “Black” vote. Somehow, Joe Biden, known for a history of racist comments and actions in the senate (historically, the Robinette family were slave owners), obtained more black votes than Barack Obama, the actual first black presidential candidate. Along with all the other election patterns that had never occurred before, this one strains credulity. Hatred of Trump, however, helps the medicine go down.

So, after four and a half years of attacks, lies and frauds against himself, his family and his appointees, two baseless impeachments and the Speaker of the House tearing his State of the Union document in half on national TV, and then faced with a flood of evidence and sworn statements about fraudulent balloting, Trump saw his fairly obvious election win as being torn from his grasp. Regardless of whether the reader agrees that election manipulation was “big enough to make a difference,” it is instructive – and fair – to put oneself in Trump’s position. Why would he believe that a party and deep state willing to break so many laws to damage his administration, might actually execute a free and fair election, if cheating meant getting rid of Trump? With the amount of evidence that strange actions took place in the election, a president has an obligation to have the election investigated! But, there’s a built-in problem.

Election day for the 50 state presidential elections, is within the first 8 days of November. From, let’s say, November 5th to acceptance of the slates of electors by the Congress on, now, January 6th, is barely 60 days, and of those, only 36 “business” days. In that period lie Thanksgiving weekend, Hannukah, Christmas and Christmas eve, then New Year’s Day and New Years eve. Courts are slow to take up cases at the simplest of times, but the number of active court days in the period between Election Day and acceptance of Electoral College totals are significantly reduced. In terms of the date of each state’s vote certification, usually December 14th, there are only 26 “business” days with Thanksgiving in that period. With several states allowing votes to be received and counted days or weeks past election day, the period between vote tallying and certification could be as short as a two weeks! It is impossible both physically and administratively to bring forth charges of malfeasance in vote handling or counting in that time frame.

Most of the people responsible for operating polling places, policing them and controlling the physical ballots and the computerized machines virtually every state now uses, are under financial pressure by those who hired them, often politically, to never express doubts about an election. Even many judges who might rule on allowing a challenge into court are politically appointed or even elected, and consequently quite disinterested in hosting a challenge to an election in his or her jurisdiction, and delighted to find any technicality to deny placing such a claim on the docket, even if only to delay looking into the matter or allowing subpoena of pertinent records or testimony. By the time the case can be formally re-filed, it will be too late to change the outcome of certification. At the higher state levels, no governor wants to be the outlier who allowed a serious challenge to go forward, delaying certification, in the event that the challenged winner becomes president and the broad interference he or she can create to the flow of federal funds to that state.

In short, NO ONE connected to the administration or execution of elections has the slightest interest in aiding any challenge to the certified vote or any election procedure that might disturb that certification. The crime of organized voter fraud in a presidential election is virtually impossible to bring to court. It is the perfect crime, and the very one that threatens the foundation of the United States’ perseverance.

May God protect the United States from all enemies, foreign and domestic.

In 2024, should Ms. Kamala Harris be elected President, she and her administration will largely continue the policies of the administration just ending, in which she has been Vice-President. In that role she has been the tie-breaking vote on several destructive pieces of legislation. She will not repair the damage that has been done to the United States domestically or internationally, nor will she likely re-arm and toughen our military, casting out every vestige of “woke” philosophies, practices or wastes of the current, declining, military establishment, nor will she close the border to all illegal entry, nor will she aggressively deport illegals who have committed crimes of any sort. God save us.

Law of Learning

Leave a comment

A valuable measure of social success is educational advancement, which is to say, steady improvement in student performance in basic skills of reading, mathematics and scientific pursuits.  Since 1980, when the federal Department of Education was created, net educational skill levels have declined, bit by bit, and then more abruptly during “Covid.”

In 2020 and 2021 schools were closed for fear of covid, initially, and for excessive lengths of time after the true nature of covid infection was understood.  The foolish extensions of school closings were largely due to the political influence of national teachers’ unions, and were unbelievably expensive in terms of retrofitting school buildings, and damaging in terms of educational regression for all but the best students.

Since becoming a cabinet-level department in its own right, Education has spent nearly a Trillion Dollars, which is to say, ONE THOUSAND BILLIONS of dollars, for those who matriculated prior to 1980.  There are hundreds of good jobs at good wages, as old socialists like to take pride in, but damned little to show for all the meddling and expenditures over the past 44 years.  The Covid experience had a silver lining, however:  Parents, those pesky, independent-minded nurturers of children forced to attend public schools, could see and hear for the first time, the clap-trap being taught and injected into the cognition of otherwise healthy youngsters.  The curricula of public school now included such topics as: Trans-genderism as a real possibility; the dangers of CO2; the evils of so-called “fossil” fuels and everyone involved in obtaining and refining them; climate change and its effect of making severe weather more frequent or more severe; rejection of classic literature and history; rejection of American history; critical race and gender theories; new theories of word meanings, sentence structure and vocabulary, generally; and a hundred other insinuations of socialist or communist economic theories and benefits.  Hardly anyone learns or understands the U. S. Constitution but, lately, we know how oppressed the people of Gaza are and how undeserving of nationality the Israelis are.

It is the obligation of a society and a culture to impart those same beliefs and inter-personal covenants along to their offspring – at no point is it legitimate for a government of, by and for the people to intentionally upset and dissemble social and cultural norms UNLESS, and only if, practices within that social compact interfere with the rights and personal integrity of other members of society.  A case is easily made for putting a stop to segregation and physical interference in the lives and rights of black citizens, for example, but NOT for indoctrinating schoolchildren with ideologies that interfere with their relationships with parents, grandparents and others, or that interfere with their biological integrity.  Those students are forced into those schools by law and then forced to learn ideas that are mere opinion and lessons that are deviant from fact.  That is, schools have no right to denigrate cultural norms and the social compact derived from historical facts any more than they have the right to avoid or deny historical fact.

The primary purpose of taxation (by force) of the income of citizens for the purpose of education (by force) is to reinforce truth while imparting skills necessary for successful maturation into the social compact and in alignment with cultural norms.  A school committee can be rightly questioned on whether any teacher’s belief system was ascertained before his or her employment to fulfill the primary purpose!  What are we trying to accomplish by hiring and never firing teachers and professors who evidently hate the United States and its founding?  Have we decided that our laws that were conceived from thousands of years of traditional belief in rights, are now, via clever, contorted interpretation, a strait-jacket on our own traditions and founding philosophies?  Did we allow the design of a legalistic suicide pact?

Politics can bring out the best and worst of ideas… and the best and worst of people.  Ms. Kamala Harris built her political career as a prosecutor, a District Attorney in San Francisco and an Attorney General for California.  During those times and during the George Floyd riots in 2020, Ms. Harris seemed to be very concerned for the rights of criminals. First in terms of reducing bail, decriminalizing certain crimes, and, before she was done, failing – refusing – to investigate hundreds of sexual assault claims in the San Francisco Diocese.  As a U. S. Senator she encouraged the continuation of destructive riots and supported a fund to bail out those arrested for the worst riot infractions.  All in all, she has been very sympathetic towards those who break local, state or federal laws.  For nearly 4 years she has cooperated in a policy to facilitate illegal entry into the United States – over 10 Million illegal entrants’ worth.

Another aspect of Ms. Harris’ political pandering is a slavish adherence to the interests of teachers’ unions.  Displayed at its worst during Covid, the influence of teacher unions on local and statewide public school policies – even to the opening or closing of schools – has grown stronger and stronger over the past 60 years, the very period of time when educational progress has reversed, with student proficiencies in basic skills dropping steadily.  The costs per student have risen dramatically across virtually all school systems during that same period.  American history instruction has shrunk to a state of confusion.

Maybe the “prisons” that Ms. Harris wants to keep criminals out of should include the ones we call public schools, in which our children are entrapped.  She could allow school choice, of course, so that trapped public-school prisoners could escaped the failing systems and find real education somewhere else.  Probably not, though.

TRUTH & HONESTY

Leave a comment

The concept of TRUTH: unvarnished, unbiased, unalloyed actual, real, provable TRUTH… is a commodity upon which the greatest philosophies are built or related to. So far in human history, no one has been able to connect for more than brief periods, to pure truth. This is not to belay the claims of strong connections to truth; there are millions of those, but they seem to be temporary. Moreover, each claim is subject to language and the meaning of words, not to overlook cultural beliefs of both claimant and listener. It is uncommon that a new “revelation” of truth will actually change cultural or other long-held beliefs. Columbus didn’t prove or reveal that the Earth is round – many already knew those things – but his success at finding a “new” continent gave millions of Europeans something new to “believe in,” but until a colonist or conquistador actually experienced being on this land, he or she had no idea what was actually believed-in. The existence of this land, north, south and islands, was absolutely true, regardless.

Let’s imagine, then, that so-and-so colonist were to visit her home country and try explaining how wonderful the new colony is and the beauty and bounty it offered. What would happen during that conversation? You might be able to perceive several dangers to truth already.

The teller’s enthusiasm – or perceived enthusiasm – would be heard by the listener with automatic reservation. Are conditions as good as she says? Isn’t she overstating how wonderful things are? Just thinking about winters over there makes me shiver!

Was any TRUTH conveyed? The teller wasn’t trying to lie to her correspondent, but did she actually share what her listener accepted as truth? Was such a conveyance even possible? Is truth possible only as a result of experience?

TRUTH has a lot to do with the welfare of nations and citizens: everything from public safety to public health, to macro-and micro-economics. Economists, or business “experts” are often asked about “inflation” these days. Everyone is impacted by rising prices for basic necessities of life, for example, and they would like to know why they rose so quickly and when they’ll return to “normal?” Those asked are likely to say that the “rate of inflation” is coming down to where it was four years ago. This might please many, but none of them will have heard the truth. The queried experts will have referenced a number, or value, concerning “inflation,” but proceeded to describe something else entirely. Even if said expert believed he or she was being accurate, the resulting “information” was unrelated to the topic asked about. BELIEF will have been conveyed… even honest belief, but no truth, per se. The listeners receiving that belief will probably accept it as if true, and even go on to repeat it as if it were. No harm was intended and, probably, none was done unless, that is, one of the listeners has a role in macro-economic policy somewhere. Let’s hope – and we all do – that the policy-making listener knows what “inflation” actually is and makes decisions on that basis.

Truth is precise and provable when experienced. A person touching a tree-trunk can rest assured that the tree exists in the exact form he or she can feel, see and possibly smell. If the observer is a good speaker and tells a person who has a decent command of their shared language, what the tree looks like, feels like and smells like, and exactly where it is, the listener, IF HE OR SHE BELIEVES THE SPEAKER TO BE HONEST, will have received some truth about a bit of reality, and be confident that is the case. How often we complete conversations with the general feeling that we have learned something that is basically true, or is close enough to truth to make a decision about or act upon. “True enough,” we say.

The description of a tree has no future impact on the life, health or fortunes of the receiver of that information. It won’t keep him from going to work, from eating meat or picking up his child from baseball practice. Even if the description by the observer/experiencer of that tree were wildly exaggerated to a point of nonsense, the rest of the listener’s life would be unaffected, unless he or she were to one day encounter that same tree and find that the observer had lied about it, thus changing their relationship for the future. There are, decidedly, different “levels” of truth that we all have learned to manage the impacts of. Indeed, we have learned to manage our own relationship with truth that connects to or emanates from ourselves. Neither society nor civilization could function OR IMPROVE, without a certain level of truthfulness that most members agree to. But, how to measure the levels or, to be more precise and truthful with ourselves: how to make judgments about “truthiness?”

Judging others is virtually automatic by age 12 or so, but the habit deserves more thought than it is typically afforded in today’s social-media environment. We are constantly assailed by strong opinions about people and topics, with little time spent on using our judgment power. Concepts slide into our consciousness without much analysis and become part of a background of belief – or “truth” – against which newer ideas are compared and sources thereof, judged. It doesn’t seem Prudent to try to socialize only in terms of absolute truth. Personalities would be overridden by analytics; friendship and love would be impossible: the strengths and weaknesses of individuals would be disregarded. The very essence of judgment, sympathy, empathy and charity would be subsumed in a distillate of pure truth. The joy of wonder and hope would be made unnecessary if humanity were defined only by pure fact.

If interpersonal relationships must include true feelings and honesty as essential parts of managed truth, where is unvarnished truth required in modern society? Education, government, law-enforcement and medicine. It is easy to see why, with a little reflection.

First, Education: Learning has been slipping badly over the past 40 years. It is crucial that there be real human teachers keeping students on course – it’s part of maturation – but there must be a high percentage of absolute truth conveyed. No human will be bias-free, but that’s useful in terms of engaging students in the subject matter: interaction with the teacher/professor. Healthy argument speeds internalization of crucial parts of the subject matter, and not the same argument for every student. Humans are essential, but each should be judged or evaluated on the true percentage of TRUTH that is conveyed – and learned – by students. Education by indoctrination is failing miserably.

Second, Government: Maintaining governing structures and processes that are most effective in lying to citizens and others will only hasten the demise of the nation. Advancement, free-enterprise and success of the citizens can only occur with a high degree of honesty in every interaction with government. When dishonesty is the order of the day, people commence to make their own decisions about which laws each will obey. If more than one person in 15 becomes criminal, society will implode. Moreover, dishonest government will lie most actively about budgets and debt, ultimately bringing [Society cannot survive] financial ruin down upon the people, generally, and on the nation.

Third, Law-Enforcement: The most basic covenant between citizens and their government in a Republic, is equal application of the laws. It is counter-productive entirely to create different classes of people based on how laws are enforced; it is beyond logic, fairness and honesty by any definition to enforce laws more harshly on citizens than on illegal entrants. Society cannot survive when its leaders dissipate the value of citizenship.

Fourth, Medicine: Crass industrialization – and politicization through money – of medicine, medical research and pharmaceuticals, has cheapened medicine to mere employment and made the medical “system” an untrustworthy power-player with access to the taxing/inflation power of the federal government. Worse, it spurs globalization for the potential marketing of marginally useful, if not dangerous products to billions, not just millions, of customers. The CARE element of healthcare must be restored to prominence, along with free-enterprise innovation and competition… to keep truth the key factor in care and honesty the key element of healing.

The concept of MERIT, or meritocracy, in all phases of governance and every facet of civilization and social/human advancement, is based on truth and honesty. The ability to actually perform the functions of critical work, or to acquire and grasp the knowledge to invent, innovate and execute increasingly technical skills, are crucial elements of merit. The originators of socialism in its various colors, are the source of “DEI” and other ideas that weaken or specifically deny merit as the right philosophy of honest, benevolent progress. All of such injections of “anti-merit” education, training, hiring and firing, including even in business, have occurred in entities controlled or involved with essentially socialist-influenced government.

Americans should compare ALL political candidates in terms of meritocracy or anti-meritocracy, regardless of related pejoratives employed by either “side.” Our standards of living, health, safety and comfort can be weakened in just a few years of twisting society towards sympathetic “equity” and away from meritocracy… and truth.

SHOOTER?

Leave a comment

In case you’ve been locked away from the world for the past 3 weeks, the big story is that a 20-year old idiot from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, south of Pittsburgh, came within fractions of an inch from assassinating Donald Trump at an outdoor rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, north of Pittsburgh. Most of the left-leaning media outlets think that the big story is Kamala Harris’ ascendancy to Democrat Presidential nominee. Perhaps, for them and most Democrats, Kamala is the big story, but having a presidential candidate under fire is a bigger story because the entire relationship of Americans to our federal government was under fire when the supposed lone, crazed gunman pulled the trigger.

The Secret Service, singularly responsible to protect Trump and other presidential candidates, is unable, 17 days later, to answer logical, basic questions about how this amateur assassin managed to get bullets downrange nearly killing the candidate. They claim he fired 8 bullets, but have offered no proof of that claim: no acoustic tracking, no map of the other 7 bullets or comparative ballistics for them. They have said that they collected 8 shell casings from the roof where he ostensibly fired those 8 shots, but those are not proof: it’s easy to drop a few extra casings, especially if you know the caliber of the rifle in question.

Secret Service has not established that there was only one, inexperienced shooter; nor, to Prudence’ recollection, has any congress-person asked how many shooters there were. The only acoustic tracking we’ve seen seems to indicate 3 separate shooters at 3 different distances, and fewer than 8 shots altogether.

Somehow or other, one of the “counter-snipers” positioned on the sloped roofs of large sheds behind the bleachers closest to Mr. Trump’s podium, shot and killed Thomas Crooks within seconds of his first shot – ostensibly the one that nearly killed the former president. It has not been explained how the shooter, obviously a very good shot at the range between himself and Mr. Trump’s head, would have time to pull the trigger 7 more times. Maybe he did. But, it would dispel many obvious questions if ballistics information about the bullet fired through Trump’s ear and those that wounded two other men and killed a third, were released. If they all came from a single weapon, why not make that information public? Is that a conspiratorial question?

In three public hearings and, evidently, closed-door hearings in Congress, very little solid information has been presented to questioners, whether by the offensively obtuse Ms. Cheatle, or her deputy, now acting head of the Secret Service, Ronald Rowe, Jr. who, at least LOOKS like a Secret Service agent. Nor has the FBI been especially helpful, even though they are doing the “investigation” into what went wrong and how the first-time shooter evaded Secret Service “professionalism.”

Supposedly, the SS agent in charge of the protection planning and laying out the security for the rally, and for coordination with critical local police assets, is the single, most responsible person who failed in his mission resulting in the near assassination. The new acting Director of the Secret Service refused to name that person since he is still on the job somewhere, still cooperating with the investigation… yada, yada, yada… and possibly still a nice guy. No, the new acting Director couldn’t explain how that person made so many mistakes and oversights, but, by golly, he intends to thoroughly figure out what happened “… so that it never happens again!” He couldn’t predict when that incompetent boob will be relieved of duty, either.

Every person who has testified in Congress has referred to “the shooter,” the weird Mr. Crooks. “The shooter,” “the shooter,” “the shooter.” Are they simply cementing the concept of a single, lone, independent individual who cooked-up the plan to kill Donald Trump for undiscoverable reasons? Any day, now, the cyber-might of the FBI will crack into Thomas Crooks’ encrypted websites and learn of his motives and whether he was involved with foreign interests. Go for it, guys! You’re the best there are!

A picture has emerged over the past 18 days of “investigation” that portrays near-total incompetence on the part of the Secret Service in preparing for this outdoor rally and the “protection” of a former President. But, that’s only one image that might be developed from the evidence testified-to, gathered and recorded by rally-goers and professional photographers. The other image is that of a plot to kill Trump, whom most of the deep state hates. There were simply too many gaps in “normal” security… too many ways, particularly in communications with local and county police assets, that standard protection protocols were skipped, ignored or thwarted. Indeed, the only LOGICAL pattern to that day’s failures (July 13th) is that there was an intention to facilitate Trump’s assassination. Such would have solved the deep state’s biggest threat. Hmmnnhh.

NOT SO SUPER…

Leave a comment

America appears to be at its weakest condition both nationally and internationally (if the two can be considered separately), if not ever, certainly since the Civil War. We’re entering the last few months of the most questionable Presidency in our history, during which the actual levers of power and communication seem to be in the hands of unknown people other than the erstwhile president, Joe Biden. Major changes in our international relationships have taken place in the same period, including significant failures both military and diplomatic. Our greatest enemies have formed new or stronger alliances against the U. S. or its allies, and our economic position is under daily assault, also both domestically and internationally.

Our financial structure is groaning under the weight of excessive borrowing and debt. Even as the cost of INTEREST in the federal budget has exceeded One Trillion Dollars per year, the Biden-Harris regime is planning deficit spending that will take our total debt to over $50 Trillion in another 10 to 15 years! Even without the Marxist welfare plans they have, deficit spending is now such a habit in federal budgeting that the concept of balance income and expenses at the federal level is so politically distant that the risks to solvency AND OUR ABILITY TO DEFEND OURSELVES, are far away behind a fog-bank of self-service and electoral enrichment.

Our Navy, for example, is at its smallest, least-modernized status of the past 50 years. Our latest aircraft are so expensive that fleet size has been curtailed, as are, sadly, some of the advanced technologies, themselves. Piece by piece, we have reduced the number of defense contractors, and thus the competitive pressures that yield the best innovations and quality. Many armaments depend on materials and chips, in particular, that must be imported. It is questionable whether the U. S. could sustain more than a week or two of all-out war with either Russia or China. Indeed, we are strained to provide arms to Ukraine and Israel at the same time.

And our allies, solid and ephemeral? The Biden regime has disturbed them at every turn. The inexplicable retreat from Afghanistan, after pouring treasure and people into that odd, horribly expensive balancing act of inexplicable purpose, has other nations wondering about trusting the U. S. when the chips are down for their countries. Why didn’t we hold Baghram Air Force Base? Because the Chinese Communists told Biden they wanted us out of there? They didn’t want the U. S. able to strike from a few hundred miles instead of several thousand? What should India think… or Pakistan? Or, anyone else?

We’re no longer the “arsenal of Democracy…” more like the arse-holes of Democracy. We’ve been sending our treasure and our best young people to other lands to instill a form of government and ostensible freedom, that we don’t want, ourselves! Indeed, one of our major political parties delights in encouraging demonstrations and riots that tear at the roots of our society as if they prove how wonderful and “free” our system is. It is, apparently, a message that 70 MILLION aborted Americans can’t transmit.

A majority of Americans no longer trust our basic institutions of government and society, including even medicine and higher education. One political party constantly tells us how crass and dismal our history is, how the high-falutin ideals of our founding are really lies told by enslavers, how religion is part of the lies we have been told, and how children can be helped to change their genders. It is difficult for citizens to keep their mental footing.

Marriage is crumbling. There is no more significant pillar upholding Western / American civilization than strong, committed, life-long marriages. Those on the left, opposed to religion, particularly Christianity – and the farther Left the more virulently opposed – look to government laws and regulations as the only source of ethics or, even, morals. Satisfying government bureaucrats, so-called “experts,” is the goal of anti-religionists. Satisfying personal, conscientious beliefs and oaths of honor, is the abiding guideline of those raised in a religious environment, in families strengthened by the same sort of personal honor. There is nothing stronger or more life-affirming. No civilization or culture can survive or grow without a commitment to LIFE. The growing commitment to anti-life, anti-marriage and anti-growth in America, is a recipe for doom. We are reinforcing this trend with our mendacious economics, as well.

The left, placing its entire hopefulness in the hands of government, cannot trust in individuals or their ethics. The private economy is a mystery to leftists / socialists / Communists and Democrat liberals. They call themselves “progressives” so as to avoid anyone mouthing those other names. They believe that welfare and massive government spending will somehow make individuals smarter, stronger, more productive and more moral. Having rejected spiritual life, entirely, Progressives place no trust in any individual’s motivation to do what is right or beneficial. Consequently, Progressive, far-left Presidential administrations will, and always have, diverted resources away from Defense and into domestic “free stuff.”

On Mayday, 2010, a major water main bringing water from the Quabbin Reservoir in Massachusetts to the Greater Boston city and regional system, burst at a gigantic valve in the town of Weston. It created a major water emergency. Governor Deval Patrick issued directives for people to boil their water until further notice. Made eminent sense. At the same time, the MWRA brought truckloads of bottled water to key distribution points. One might think that boiling water would be a function that most humans in the United States could handle… even in 2010. Fights broke out over the bottled water distribution, fights that made the news. Amazing. Even for such a simple emergency situation: the recommendation to boil tapwater before cooking with it or drinking it, large numbers of people expected government salvation without delay. They wanted enough bottled water to take baths with, not just for consumption. It seemed weird.

What is likely to happen when Americans are forced to sacrifice? What if we must fight all-out war? What if the economy, $35 Trillion in debt, collapses and foreign countries won’t accept payment in devalued dollars? Would people find a way to persevere as they did during the Depression? Or, during World War II? Would we be capable of boiling our water if an enemy has contaminated water supplies? One wonders. What if we lose the internet, GPS, cell-phone service or electric power for long periods? Are we tough enough to survive? Smart enough?

THE ACCELERATION OF HISTORY

Leave a comment

History is moving a little more quickly in 2024. Despite our constant bathing in 24/7 news coverage and exceptional secrecy, or obfuscation, by our own government: the generator of most “news,” Americans are less and less informed about the matters that do and will define our political systems and actual governance. Those who follow current events and who can recall the years after World War II, can make some sense of the need for secrecy during the war, and the rapid expansion of the “secrecy industry” within our federal government, readily justified by the “Cold War” with nuclear-armed U.S.S.R. and, soon, Red China. Our spies were keeping us safe.

Multiple books, movies and TV shows glorified our heroic spies: how much they had to sacrifice to stay undercover, how they tripped up Soviet spies, in particular, how they convinced “Russians” to switch allegiance and act as “double-agents” as they fed soviet secrets to us. On the other hand, those Americans who fed information to the Russians were portrayed as the most heinous of traitors. The Rosenbergs were executed. It is instructive – and Prudent – to recall President Eisenhower’s warning about the “Military-Industrial complex” and President Kennedy’s deep distrust of the “CIA” following the failed “Bay of Pigs” invasion and the assassination of President Diem of South Vietnam. Both recognized the loss of control over the Executive branch of government. Kennedy paid the ultimate price in November of 1963, for attempting to reverse the “intelligence” coup of the federal government. His brother, Robert, his most trusted advisor, paid the same in 1968. The truth of the two assassinations is still not clear to Americans.

For those who can’t contemplate their own government’s ability to murder a president, it might be well to recall the complete deception / fraud embodied in the statement signed by “51 intelligence experts and 5 former heads of the CIA.” These mendacious frauds were instructed to make the claim that Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop was an example of “Russian disinformation.” This single deception was employed by Joe Biden to divert attention from the evidence of bribery and treason recorded on his son’s laptop – bribery and treason that would have upset Biden’s campaign for president in 2020. Given the hatreds generated about Donald Trump (a new Hitler, a dictator, a philanderer who pays off prostitutes, a threat to democracy, etc., etc., and now, very questionably, convicted felon) is it very much of a leap to simply eliminate such an evil person? Add to the possibility the threat he represents to the intelligence “community” that has conspired against him for years, and the people who removed a president and his brother would seem to have all the excuses they need to remove Trump, too, from the political scene… one way or the other.

History seemed to accelerate just a little when Trump beat Hillary Clinton. The course defined by the powers that were running things in 2016, was upset – diverted – by Trump’s upheaval of nature. The machinery of “Trump derangement syndrome” switched on throughout the “intelligence” community, the leftist media complex, the Clinton campaign and the rest of the Democrat party, a powerful array. Within days the “Russian collusion” claims began and the “Steele Dossier” was generated through a complex scheme involving a major Democrat law firm and a Clinton campaign opposition research contractor. At almost the same time elements of the “intelligence” community began subverting people connected to the Trump campaign or otherwise associated with Donald Trump. Yet Trump beat the odds against him and beat Clinton in the Electoral College. Before he was inaugurated the calls for his impeachment began. It all represented a change in the nature of American events and, in light of the number of unique events associated with the 2016 political activity, it could be described as moving faster, even, than during 9-11 and the Bush administration.

Obama tried to get history to accelerate, too. He dreamed of leaving the ideas of America behind because he, Obama, would “fundamentally transform” the nation… and transform history’s rate of change with it. History slowed down, Prudence could argue, when the worldwide COVID-19 hoax swept over most of our common senses. Medical knowledge – AND PRACTICE – was turned on its head, governments retreated from basic freedoms and small-r republicanism, global governance was promoted in coordination of vaccine and “proper” care for the infected. Economies around the world were stymied by regulatory directives, overriding even the U. S. Constitution, causing hundreds of collateral deaths as people’s lives were torn asunder, including personal economies and professions ruined by extra-legal vaccine mandates.

The advancement of freedom, justice and individuality, that Americans pretend to believe is inexorable, was not only reversed, but shattered by COVID. What has been worse is the hundreds of thousands of deaths that can be laid at the doorstep of the so-called vaccines, themselves. Americans agreed to accept some form of promised “safety” in exchange for their freedoms. Shame on us. We can blame education, generally, for the ignorance of history and of the Constitutionally protected rights citizens are born with. Now, we’re watching the Democrat party subvert the democratic process by removing the PRESIDENT from his own campaign, and replacing him, in effect, with the Vice-President for whom no one has voted in the Democrat primaries. When it comes to upsetting American traditions, the Left has accelerated the flow of history all by itself.

Now we have seen another assassination plot that, Providentially, failed to kill former President Trump. As is the common model, the “shooter” was, supposedly, a troubled young man acting alone, who was killed quickly following his intended kill-shot. No one is going to ask HIM any questions. So many basic protective steps were ignored in preparation for one of Trump’s campaign rallies, one can justifiably wonder whether the Secret Service was directed to be unprofessionally sloppy for this event? Was there a scheme under way to enable the murder of former President Trump?

Mike Adams, who pod-casts as “The Health Ranger” on BRIGHTEON BROADCAST NEWS, analyzed the acoustic signatures of shots fired during the assassination attempt. The sound came from recording at the speaker’s (target’s) microphone. There were at least 3 shooters at different distances away from Trump, with young Mr. Crooks being the closest at 130+ yards. The second was at about twice that distance away, which could include the water tower where Rally-goers observed TWO individuals, ONE OF WHOM WAS OBSERVED BEING SHOT BY A SNIPER, while the second one disappeared. The third acoustic signature indicates a shot taken from several hundred yards away. The “lone gunman” looks more and more like a patsy in a plot.

Here’s a link to a lot of information not being discussed publicly: https://thetruthaboutcancerofficial.substack.com/p/illuminating-inconsistencies-and?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email#media-ab4b2670-b535-4e68-98a5-f6367974e3ce

Maybe the reason Secret Service Director Cheatle couldn’t or wouldn’t give straight answers to Congress on July 22nd is that she actually wants to hide behind a phony report prepared by those who organized the plot to kill Trump in the first place, she actually doesn’t KNOW what the Hell went on and prefers to stay ignorant. Amazingly, Joe Biden gave up on re-election just a few days later and shifted the news engine to other topics, completely. We’ll all watch as the pace of history will slow down markedly in the next couple of weeks.

Finally, Director Cheatle has resigned, which is a good thing, by itself, but it brings into even starker relief why she bothered to show up to “testify” before the House Oversight Committee. Clearly her intention was NOT to convey information to the Congress. She barely changed her demeanor or facial expression throughout the brutal questioning by the Committee from both sides of the aisle. She knew it would be brutal and she knew she wasn’t going to satisfy any questioner. That wasn’t her job on Monday. She was there to draw fire and resign the next day. At the same time, the Kamala geyser was set to erupt and distort the news. The deep state is not done with Donald Trump, yet.

Prudence is, sadly, fairly certain that another attempt on Trump’s life will be made. Be wary, my Friend.

BEFORE BUTLER – AFTER BUTLER

Leave a comment

So much speculation. Those of us who have been praying for this nation are waiting to see God’s hand at work reforming our moral platforms, perhaps penetrating our wayward churches, perhaps loosening the chains on our public education. Can He cleanse higher education, as well? Of course. Those with eyes to see and ears to hear are in for a period of joy. To the less-inspired, if you have been hoping for a sign… well, there you are.

Joe Biden threw down a challenge to the Almighty the other day: he would get out of the campaign for re-election only if God Almighty told him to get out. Hmmnnhh… sometimes the observer is too close to the signs to see them – forest for the trees, and all that. JOE! JOE! Heaven to JOE! If you can’t take a bright, shining slap to your psyche, you will not like the two-by-four on the side of your head. Take the hint, Joe… please!

All of the pablum comments about “lowering the temperature” of political discourse, are no more than political comments uttered by the unaware. We need to recognize that God is totally unimpressed by politicized speeches, statements, position papers and other modified forms of bull-hockey. He cares only about your soul and the love in our hearts. The hatreds are our business, alone.

Political campaigns are staffed, in part, by professional liars. Prudence doubts that this fact is actually a good thing, or good aspect of human endeavor in any case. It will be interesting to see what changes might manifest in the output of campaign drivel. Will it become more principled? Will it add to Americans’ understanding of the Covenant aspect of our exceptional Constitution and Republic? Will anything be conveyed in place of standard calumny and excrement? There’s is a lot to watch and listen for. Which campaign will actually improve the level of “unity” in these great United States?

The “LEFT,” so called, is a wide, stinking river of anti-American opinion, calumny and hatreds of multiple kinds, cobbled together to defeat conservatism. American conservatism doesn’t really fit anywhere on the spectrum from LEFT to RIGHT as typically distinguished – most of the distinguishing being done by those on the Left.

As much as possible, the original founding ideas of “America,” were developed in concert with the principles of Judeo-Christianity. Key to the non-religious basis of the American Republic is that equal application of the Law applies to everyone. This concept is a continuous lesson in Biblical writings, and we see it in the balance between FREEDOM and RESPONSIBILITY. God’s instruction to mankind is based on FREE WILL, but it is bound by the responsibility to answer for the consequences of our free-will decisions. (As ye sow, so shall – so MUST – you reap) This fundamental concept is the basis of our Constitution. For humans to establish a government that can so closely reflect the fundamentals of both the Old and New Testaments, is a small miracle. The alternative to the Constitution is the mix of philosophies we call “the Left.”

As illustrated in virtually every Bible story and book, those who stand up for God are almost immediately attacked, if not killed. From the very start: Garden of Eden, the “serpent” employed the process of dialectic materialism, as in Marxism. God commanded Adam and Eve to not partake of the Tree of Knowledge in the center of the Garden, else they would die. The serpent argued that the benefits were even greater than god inferred, and that despite what He said, surely they wouldn’t actually DIE for gaining the knowledge of the Gods. God stated the Thesis (God’s Word) the serpent argued the Anti-thesis, and the net result became the Synthesis. Adam and Eve were not struck dead, but they were Banished from God’s bountiful Garden, thereafter forced to struggle in lives of constant testing and difficulty. The process of dialectic lying has never changed: Abortion is not murder; unborn babies are not humans with souls. The synthesis is not an alternate truth… it is an alternate lie that is easier or more beneficial for people to believe. The process leads to Communism: the exact opposite of our Constitutional Republic.

When the United States of America was formed, it stood against thousands of years of evil and tyranny, much of it represented by Royal families. The forces of the Left almost immediately started to undercut the new government, an effort that truly shifted into gear following the Civil War. For 150 years we have been bending to the blandishments of dialectic materialism. Today we’re $35 Trillion in debt, borrowing at an unsustainable rate to maintain astonishing welfare outflows, while reducing our ability to physically defend ourselves!

The Left has insinuated its socialist-communist forces into the Deep State, into public and private education, into higher education, into globalist corporations and communications. Just look at the list of “Americans” who attend the World Economic Forum and who are comfortable with the influence of the U. N. and the World Health Organization as it attempts to gain treaties with developed countries that would place the W.H.O. in charge of NATIONAL health-care policies and much more. It’s time to put Satan behind us.

The United States, due mainly to failures in education and religion, has accepted anti-Americanism to a great degree. Every principle embodied in our Constitution is challenged constantly by some form of anti-thesis, usually couched in this or that sympathetic concern for poor, hungry, fat, disabled, dysphoric, addicted or homeless misfortunates that the ‘fortunate’ are obligated to pay government employees and contractors to make comfortable. Those same employees or contractors are rarely paid to solve life’s many misfortunes. Providing real solutions to how people became so unhappy and uncomfortable is perceived as cruel, racist, or insensitive, and frequently, illegal. Both the government and the social problems become larger. Thesis – anti-thesis – synthesis.

The other day a “lone, crazed gunman” came within an inch of killing Donald Trump. As things ramped up for the Republican National Convention, the love for Mr. Trump seemed to expand and motivate the assembled crowd to new heights of love for him and his “larger than life” status in the party and in the country. For Trump, however, the events of Saturday, July 13, 2024 re-oriented him to his true status: mortal. They made clear to him that he is not larger, but smaller than he thought; that he is a tool in the hands of God, to Whom he owes his continued life on Earth. The mission has changed.

The divine intervention that saved him also makes clear that there has always been a plan and purpose for the creation of the United States of America. One hopes that the many uncertain Americans who may have suspected some kind of “purpose” for America: Free-Masons and all of that, might experience a renewal in their faith, having witnessed a pretty clear message from the Almighty. The Lord works in mysterious ways. For Trump, there is a new reason to do his best for America – new reasons to stop our self-destruction, stop our acceptance of Marxism / Communism, stop our un-Godly drift away from faith and truth. For those of us with eyes to see and ears to hear, we should be ready to help him… or, help ourselves.
