There was a time in our Nation when we all stood together, shoulder-to-shoulder, to defend not only our Nation, but in fact even the entire world from dictatorial regimes who sought control over the whole world. Since the end of World War II, there has been a retrenching into our own safe environment, sheltered from outside turmoil. There were exceptions to this, but kinetic involvements were limited, and even though there was loss of our Nation’s blood and treasure, most citizens in our Nation stood by idle, knowing actions far from our shores had limited impact on our local daily lives. Most in our Nation survived the draft lotteries, and then relied on a volunteer fighting force to provide our Nation’s protection. It was easy to avoid even thinking about the horrors of wars, because it was far removed from the thought processes of the vast majority of our Nation’s citizenry. Slowly over time, most lost connection with what it takes to earn, and then to keep, freedom. Reality became history, and history became a myth. Edmond Burke (1729 to 1797) said: “People will not look forward to posterity, who never look backward to their ancestors.“ We have failed to teach the past, to appreciate the present, and to protect the future. The focus for many turned toward personal and business economic growth, not the growth of patriotic freedom. What was being lost was National pride in how unique and special our Nation is when compared to world history.
During this time, corporations grew larger and larger and saw an ever growing chance to expand their wealth and influence. A global economy was worshiped as the new age of existence. In this thrust to expand their world-wide reach, many sacrifices had to be made, and most of them were not beneficial to our Nation’s health in the long run. It turned out to be cheaper to use below standard wage workers in other countries to make things more cheaply, which meant the shipping of good paying jobs to overseas vendors. Abraham Lincoln once said: “There is no greater injustice than to wring your profits from the sweat of another man’s brow.” This resulted in more revenue for those corporations, increasing their size, wealth and influence. What was lost in this transition from a dependence upon our own Nation’s talent, was a pride in knowing that when something was purchased, it was actually made in the U.S.A. We challenge the reader to go to almost any store or thrift store and note where the item was manufactured. We can assure you that the vast majority will indicate it was made, manufactured, or assembled in some place other than the U.S.A.
During this time of transition to a global economy, those ever expanding corporations focused to an ever growing degree upon the generation of wealth. There was a tradeoff, a sacrifice that had to be made. When focusing on wealth, certain National interests had to be weakened, even set aside, to accommodate the desires, interests, and even demands made by other countries. Corporations prostituted themselves by surrendering Intellectual Property, and offering up their powerful voices to be muted, even directed to speak in ways in sharp contrast to the freedoms established in our Constitution. Corporations and individuals have become addicted to money, and what it takes to secure it and maintain it. We will not specifically mention names of people or corporations involved in these efforts to expand and protect their financial habits, because of the ever-present chance of this blog being filtered away into cyber space by biased human algorithms. A quick review of independent news outlets will reveal the guilty parties and tell the story. Corporations have been found to assist the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) in developing processes and procedures that aim to bolster our Nation’s competitors, even enemies, but refrain from providing the same support to our own Nation. Sports teams have bowed down to the constraints laid upon them by the CCP in order to maintain a major source of revenue. Many in positions of power, even in our own government, have financial ties to sketchy entities, criminal powers, and corrupt nations, that compromise their integrity, and shift their view away from what is best for our Nation. Many personalities have been forced to retract statements, and to even make directed statements, to protect their source of income or job. What has become evident is that the almighty dollar has taken precedence over doing what is right and just in the eyes of those who have sacrificed their lives in the defense of our Nation and its Constitutional freedoms. Imagine what they would say, and how they would confront these modern day traitors, if those who gave their lives could speak from their graves today.
It is obvious that many corporate leaders and their board of directors have chosen sides in this new world order beginning to emerge, and it is not on the side of the great American experiment, our unique and world-envied Nation. There are opposing nations that seek the demise of our Nation, that desire that our citizens should become surfs and subjects to tyrannical regimes. Those who have sought only the mighty power of the dollar have isolated themselves from this potential future. They have turned their backs on what has made our Nation great, and have sought only what is best for them, without regard to the great citizens of our Nation. The flag that should be flown high over their corporate institutions, or at the homes of those who have shunned the morality of our shared heritage, should be the flag of the money they myopically seek after and worship at its feet.
IT IS TIME FOR ALL IN THIS NATION TO PREPARE TO GO MASK FREE IF POSSIBLE, AND FOR ALL BUSINESSES AND INSTITUTIONS TO FULLY OPEN UP BEGINING JULY 4, 2021.
