THE ACCELERATION OF HISTORY

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.

INSIDE DEMOCRATCY

Americans – citizens, let’s hope – are approaching the 2024 elections as though similar to elections in prior presidential years. Some, not yet a majority, are all-too-aware of the presence of the “third party” to our ostensibly free choice of National Executive. This third party is not Robert Kennedy, Jr., Cornel West or Peter Sonski or any of the several others who are “running.” It is the SURVEILLANCE and enforcement state, or what some call the “deep state,” or “the swamp.” Many speak softly of “the Intelligence Community” – not to be confused with an Intelligent community, but the community term is used so as not to make oneself a target of that shadowy bunch, a completely anti-Constitutional, anti-American consortium that perceives itself as the “real” government, holding the U. S. together in spite of any temporary choices made by “We, the People.” “We” do, however, nurture them and rely on them to inform the executive and the military departments of what “America” should do in the face of this or that threat.

Now and then a Representative or Senator will acknowledge (expose?) their presence and, so far, unbridled power, but never in a way that threatens them or their budgets or enabling legislation: other elements of government serve in fear of the “Intelligence Community.” As Senator Schumer of New York once observed, “… they have six ways to Sunday of getting back at (you)”

It is a “community” whose purpose is not “democracy.” Democracy is simply their lever. The party called “Democratic,” which daily proposes un-democratic and anti-democratic ideas, laws and regulations, has moved to identify with the “surv-ints” of the “Intelligence Community” as tightly as possible. The hidden powers of the “surv-ints” have been a great boon to tipping electoral scales in favor of Democrats, most clearly in matters related to disenfranchisement of Constitutionalists. This has proceeded to the degree that in their minds, Democratcy is spelled, now, with just one “T.”

Democratcy doesn’t mean power in the hands of “the people,” no sir-ee, except that “the people” clearly are all Democrats: all the rest are “MAGA extremists” in whose hands power should never be held.

Donald Trump is the tip of the Constitutionalist spear, such as it is. He is a nine-year target of the “surv-ints” and has become a real threat to that permanent, anti-American power bloc… and they have marshaled forces to stop him.

So far those forces appear legal, but in a “keystone kops” kind of way. They are not yet conclusive. When our “surv-ints” perceive that the “Kops” will not jail him, the next level of tools will be employed: watch out for those. Until now ruining lives, reputations and careers has proven to not be a hindrance to the surv-ints purposes. One can recall that JFK and RFK were great threats too, and “lone gunmen” solved those problems with no splash-back onto the surv-ints. The splash gets buried with the body.

It seems Prudent to consider that Trump is at increasing risk of assassination as Election Day approaches. The forces that Trump is committed to “drain” or “clean out” are more powerful than any others “in” government, depending upon individuals’ Constitutional courage. To Democrats this question must be posed: After the “termination” of 65 MILLION Americans, is the unlimited right to apply abortion to your babies, worth the demise of America?

It is sad to be alive at a time in history when either the re-election of Joe Biden or the death of Donald Trump are plausible. May God preserve us.

More than a game

What can be said that hasn’t been beaten into the ground already, about football? Well, some things can be said about the meaning of it. Your response may be that there must be something more important to expound upon, but there is a point, here, worth making.

Football is a metaphor for America. Not because of the “sport” aspect, but because of its declaration of excellence being rewarded and celebrated, vicarious inclusion of couch potatoes, and attraction of profits – even the creation of millionaires.

“Aww, c’mon,” you say, “it’s just a game.” No, no it isn’t.

Football is a great business, and Americans react well to this because we are, like every other human, innately capitalist. We recognize and appreciate smart business, smart marketing, and that wonderful effect of smart business: secondary benefits to multiple other businesses and tremendous flows of profit dollars into charities.
Even better, football succeeds, itself, because it grandly recognizes and rewards individual excellence and discipline.

No matter how loosey-goosey our morals appear to be, we each value excellence and we honor those among us who strive, daily and hourly toward perfection. We are awed and thrilled by organizations whose profit motivations imbue their individual members toward constant improvement… and success.

“Do Your Job.” Americans respect and reward responsibility. No matter the qualities of leaders – and successful organizations, particularly business organizations are led, obviously, more than simply managed – every individual following a leader is ultimately responsible to that leader, to his associates who depend upon him or her, and to him- or her-self, for the task each has trained and learned to accomplish at the moment of execution. Ya’ gotta’ love it.

There are a handful of truly great and greatly led moments in our history, when large fractions of the nation followed, even sacrificed, for the proper purpose a recognized leader had placed before us. The Revolutionary War – in a sense our first Civil War, as we “seceded” from England – is a perfect example. Clearly Washington was a superb leader who was able, in the face of extraordinary odds and opposition, to maintain the shining goal and keep his under-fed, under-supplied and under-appreciated troops striving toward an “impossible” goal: Independence.

The Americans weren’t fighting for treasure or even for comfort or out of fear, but for a set of ideas and ideals. To maintain leadership for such an effort is rare and justification for our reverence of General Washington.

Lincoln showed similar, not identical traits. But his sense of “mission” was no less complete than Washington’s. And there was a purity of purpose that never faltered and was apparent to enough people in the “Union” to re-elect Honest Abe in the midst of our bloodiest, most-hate-filled war ever.

In a sense, Washington led his troops to become the prow of the ship facing war’s stormy waters; Lincoln was, himself, the prow of that same ship. Both were leaders for the right reasons… and respected. Those being led were able to sacrifice for the purposes each leader embodied. Americans respect and honor that stuff!

Another, more refreshing example was the Apollo Moon-landing mission. Jack Kennedy was a leader. It’s not because of any significant executive experience – far from it. It was because of vision. For those of us born during WW-II, the 1960 election was the first we could vote in. We grew up under Eisenhower, but he didn’t “speak” to us. His presidency marked the end of an era and of his career… he was our parents’ president.

Kennedy represented the vitality of America and the start of new adventures, new ideas… the New Frontier. He was our start, too, and anything was possible. Somehow, in spite of his practical naiveté Kennedy perceived that the competition with the Soviets was a competition between cultures, between beliefs, between dreams, and that American needed a new dream every so often, and that the times and the possibilities were coming together. The U.S./U.S.S.R. conflict was a challenge to the ideas of America, and there simply was no room to come in second.

Kennedy’s May, 1961 Moon-landing proposal to Congress met every aspect of what a leader should include in laying out a mission: it was bold, it was a challenge, it was timed and measurable, and it had a specific goal – a goal that rose and set every day. It was perfect, and what the nation needed at a time when popular, slanted news was extolling the amazing progress the Soviet system had made in everything from rocketry to housing to medicine and to education.

The other element of the Apollo challenge was technological, and a certain boost to our economy… something every President needed. What happened?

Military leaders, scientists, engineers, colleges, think-tanks, machinists and a thousand businesses with their own leaders, adopted the mission and devised a thousand missions of their own. Most of the knowledge needed to pull off the moon landing and a safe return to Earth, was unknown. Many of the skills were floating around among the disparate parts of the nationwide, about-to-be-team, but they’d never been marshaled to a single goal until Kennedy presented a new dream. Still others had to be invented.

Again, what happened? A new unity of purpose. Indeed, there was an irresistible force of purpose that caused levels of sacrifice, stress, service and a striving for perfection rarely experienced by any industrial society… and success. The success was so profound that it swept up the vast majority of Americans into a new belief in what we stood for and could accomplish. It has not been repeated.

But metaphorically, its impact is out-pictured in teams’ quests to reach the Super Bowl. And the fans of those quests, fans of every team, respect the sacrifice and discipline, study, practice, learning and leadership that’s needed to get there. Brady would be nowhere without good leadership at the head of and within the Patriots organization, and within himself in fact.

Americans get that, and respond, even to buying shirts and hats as if to absorb a little of it.

The same qualities exist in the military, although the sacrifices are so compellingly greater. And Americans grasp what it means. We honor and respect the training, discipline, leadership and near-perfection elite teams strive for in every service… and even more, the physical, sometimes mortal sacrifices made in furtherance of the greatest mission on Earth: defending America. We share the pain when we back out of conflict without victory; we try to honor the many victories it has taken to get even to there.

We felt and respected some of the magic under Ronald Reagan, perhaps never recognizing the nature of his and our victory over the Soviet communist system.

But the momentum of dis-education and the constant anti-American pressure that has marked American culture since Nixon was forced out of office, was bearing fruit… and nuts.

From the utter debauchery of the Clintons, through the distorted semi-conservatism of Bush-43, through the Obama dislike of America, of Whites and of Christians, and his greater respect for everything we are not, Americans have yearned to respect again; to respect, perhaps, themselves. We have yearned to respect our institutions, and people, and systems and teachers and churches and everything that has, no matter how hidden or suppressed, the innate sparks of leadership, training, practice and sacrifice, that we know has created greatness in this land and in us.

No ONE can do that, and certainly he or she cannot BE that – not even Donald Trump. But he, at least, knows what IT is and its importance to the ideas of America. Like JFK, he has succeeded because he sensed Americans’ need for a new dream, every now and then.

Now is good. Go Pats!
