The Rise and Fall of Global Power

Each and every week we have a difficult time trying to decide what to discuss in our blog. We wish we could talk about the positive advances within our Nation, or about great innovations, or tremendous accomplishments of its citizens, but it is obvious to us that we are not living today in an environment conducive to always being able to highlight the glass half full and getting fuller. In fact, our Nation’s half glass is less than half full and diminishing to lower levels each and every day. Trying to pick a topic is like playing the kids birthday party game called “pin the tail on the donkey”. It’s that game where one child is blindfolded, spun around and then aimed at a wall with a paper cutout of a donkey. The object is for the child to move forward toward the wall, and using only the hand holding a pinned tail, to see how close the child is to placing the tail in the correct position on the donkey. In our game of selecting the proper topic of today’s blog, we would have no problem getting the tail in the correct position as the whole wall is one big donkey butt! You can’t help but get the tail in the right place, no matter where you stick the tail on the wall. Whatever we choose to discuss is both timely and apropos.

What we have chosen today is to focus on the teeter-totter of global power. When our Nation was once the envy of the world, or in the eyes of some, the object to overcome, we have ended up shooting ourselves in our proverbial foot while mishandling the powers we wield. Can we actually trace back the original source of our error? We believe we can. If you cannot see, or are unwilling to admit that our Nation is being supplanted as the preeminent global power, then you either live under a rock, or you spend all of your waking hours playing video games, streaming funny memes, or mesmerized by fictional movies or videos. If you are one of those people, let us be the first to let you know that “The Rise and Fall of Global Power” is reflected in how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Panda Bear is destroying our Nation. How has this happened? Why has this happened? Let’s take a quick look back at the source of our downfall.

The downfall actually began several decades ago, but we will attempt to focus on the more recent events causing our demise. We will start back in 2001 when China, represented as the Panda Bear, was allowed into the World Trade Organization (WTO). Why did we allow that to happen. How many ways can you spell “profit”? It was the greed of our Nation’s elites and those in power that saw ever-increasing dollars flowing into their pockets. They claimed it was an attempt to bring China out of poverty and into prosperity. That was not the truth. They saw over one-billion potential customers, and they saw a huge, cheap labor force prime to make stuff that our Nation could obtain and sell more cheaply, while still stuffing ever increasing dollars into their pockets and adding to their financial bottom lines. Once the vast majority of our manufacturing left our shores to find residence in China, to bring it back would mean a loss of profitability, and any corporation’s board of directors would not be pleased, nor would stockholders in those companies. While unleashing the Panda Bear, at the same time, we took off most of the chains holding the Panda Bear down. Our Nation let China function as a “third-world nation”, where there were few of the restrictions to production placed upon the more “evolved” nations, even those entities operating within our own shores. We do not need to go over again how dependent our Nation is upon China these days. Refer to our blog posted on December 4, 2022, titled, “The United States of China”. What we do need to do is remind all of us of the fact that China produces the vast majority of those items our Nation needs in order to full-fill our thirst for being “green”, going all-electric, at the expense of fossil fuels. Things like wind turbines, batteries, and medicines and their ingredients. and dare we even mention all that stuff we buy from China, and incidentally, made only with the help of fossil fuels. Which brings us to a more recent decision that has perpetrated a vast number of ills upon our Nation.

When the current occupant of the White House took office, one of the first actions taken was to take multiple steps to throttle-down the production of oil within our Nation. Please refer to our blog on March 20, 2022, titled, “Are You Prepared To Live Without Oil?” For those of you so enamored with electric cars, you would do well to understand that in owning and driving an electric vehicle, one cannot claim “zero emissions”. Refer to our blog on October 16, 2022, titled, “So, you want to drive an electric vehicle?” Fossil fuel drives our economy. Without it we could not produce food, because fossil fuels drive the tractors that plow and harvest our food products. The crop productivity is aided by fossil fuels giving us fertilizers. The vast majority of trucks bringing the food to processing plants are driven by fossil fuels. The majority of production plants are powered by fossil fuels. The trucks needed to bring the processed food to markets are also powered by fossil fuels. The stores housing the foods you buy use electricity predominantly powered by fossil fuels. So, you want to know why your grocery prices are higher? The restriction on fossil fuels means that the cost of a single unit of fossil fuel must of necessity rise. The scarcer an item, the higher the price. Our Strategic Oil Preserves, established as a hedge against kinetic global interruption, was drained to the lowest level in decades in a governmental attempt to lower gas prices prior to the last major election. Having given up our energy independence, our Nation no longer sets the price of a barrel of oil, and we have once again allowed the oil cartels to put the squeeze on us. Because of the change in focus brought about by the current administration, we are now spending more time re-arranging the chairs of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion), ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance), pronouns and other “woke” agendas on our sinking U.S. of A. Titanic. Do you fear the potential restrictions coming on gas appliances? We have become victims of our own hubris. The Panda Bear is swinging wildly without resistance from our once proud, powerful, and leading Nation. In fact, the Panda Bear is sitting on us, restricting our ability to resist in geo-politics, economics, cyber-space, and military prowess.

The war on fossil fuels has taken a huge bite out of our ability to exercise and appreciate our FREEDOM and LIBERTY. “The Rise and Fall of Global Power” is at stake. The solution to putting the Panda Bear back in its cage lies in our ability to once again become energy independent. That means we need to unleash the potential of fossil fuels that lie beneath this land of ours. In order to do that, those who currently control the levers of authority within our Nation need to be replaced, and the only way to do that is to vote as if your life, your FREEDOM and LIBERTY, depended on it, because it does. If you want to get out from under the Panda Bear, you must do your part without fear, without compromise, without hesitation, and do not forget to make “An Appeal To Heaven”, (see our blog on August 15, 2022).

What Does it MEAN to be an American?

Let’s take a peek through the old stars and stripes. What is UNITY? What does “E Pluribus Unum” mean? Our current governmental leadership seems determined to divide our citizens into separate classes or casts. When it should be, “Out of many, one”, we seem to be heading in the opposite direction dividing up “one, into many”. This seems to be a direction opposite to the intention of the phrase found on most of all of our monetary tender. What has happened to our Nation? Why have we become a people so divided and intolerant of one another? At FREEDOMGOFORTH.COM, we feel we owe much of this divisive trend to those who believe the only way to the top is to attempt to tear down, by any means, those who are perceived to be in better positions either geographically, politically, economically, or socially.

UNITY is NOT uniformity. We all don’t have to look the same, or have the same abilities or talents, and we don’t have to talk the same way or even walk to the same beat. Our diversity can be a tremendous benefit . . . . as long as we don’t use it as a cudgel to achieve personal, often times political, agendas. Often times the way the term “diversity” is used is counterproductive to achieving a unified task or goal. If all of us wanted to be doctors, where would be the nurses to tend to the often-tedious job of seeing to a long-term recovery of patient? Where would be the taxi drivers to take us to and from the hospital? Where would be the service station attendants to fill up our gas tanks, or the service technicians to repair our electric vehicle used to get us to the doctor? Our diversity of talents allows us to blend together to get all the tasks done that need to be accomplished.

UNITY allows us to accomplish a joint task by blending together our individual abilities. It takes teamwork in any sport that requires more than one player on each side. Some may play a major role, and some may play a more minor role, but each must play their part for success to be the result. If one player decides to not play their role, or decides to go against the chosen path forward, the success of the team could be in jeopardy. To run counter to others could foster animosity and distrust, leading to the team’s further erosion and potential failure. To resign from the team could leave the team completely defenseless and even unable to participate in the assigned task. The weak link in any chain can lead to the failure of the entire chain. Think of our Nation as a woven material, with each thread a different color. When woven together, the end result is not only beautiful, but entirely functional.

UNITY celebrates the accomplishments of all participants and does not seek preeminence. Recognizing the efforts of the minor players leads to a cohesion among all the players, and further encourages all to do their part even in difficult times. In the end, all will hold the trophy, and all will celebrate each individual accomplishment. The success of the team will lead to further successes and be an encouragement to others observing, even wishing to participate, and should the opportunity arise, they will be up to the task to maintain the successes so far achieved.

What creates UNITY or oneness? If we are truly American, we will all strive together so that we exemplify “out of many, one”. If we believe in the great experiment of The United States of America, we will do whatever it takes, no matter how small our task may be, no matter how different we may look or act, no matter how we may talk or how different our path in life may be, to make our individualism perfected in oneness. Consider that sometimes outside forces can bring about this oneness. Often when a group of differing individuals are faced with a joint life or death situation, our oneness takes preeminence over our individualism. Such was the case, for the most part, in the fight for our Nation’s Independence from the British Empire beginning in the 1770’s. Such was the case in World Wars I and II. Such was the case on the attack upon our Nation on September 11, 2001, at least for a short time. As an example, which you may have experienced, consider you are flying on a commercial airline flight, sitting near the back of the aircraft seating configuration, and suddenly the aircraft encounters turbulence, throwing everyone’s body to the left and then to the right. We can guarantee to you that everyone’s body and head will move in complete unison, first to the left, and then to the right. The perfection of the movement could not have been choreographed as perfectly as that which the outside force of the turbulence created. Not everyone was of the same sex, height or weight, but each would move in complete unison, UNITY exemplified.

So, “What Does it TAKE to be an American?” Below are some suggestions to help us reclaim the true meaning of being an American.

Honor, respect and serve your neighbors in your community.

Recognize our mortality and how our influence can be for good, and not for evil.

If you climbed the social/economic ladder to a higher level, reach back down and help someone else to do the same.

Understand that our perfection is always a work in progress.

See reason to give thanks no matter your circumstances.

Understand and appreciate diversity, but do not demand it above all else.

Look for good in all things and seek only to improve upon it.

Embrace that UNITY is not captured in uniformity.

One’s preeminence is only given through one’s humility.

Humanity must always supersede technology.

Understand that we live in a broken world and cannot expect perfection in our lifetime.

Practice that profit should never come at the expense of another.

Always be ready to explain what you believe and why you believe it.

Understand that humanity has become victim to its own greed and hubris.

Understand that we are all social beings that need relationships.

Know in our hearts that light always shines brightest in the darkest places.

So, “What Does it MEAN to be an American?

Our Nation’s FREEDOM and LIBERTY is a joint project that requires the participation of all of us. Let us not become a fractured people. Let us practice true UNITY and shun all attempts to remake us into something we were never intended to be. We are AMERICANS, unified in our diversity, joined together in our efforts to maintain and defend The United States of America!

We Stand at the Confluence of Attacks

It’s a quack attack. The moral of this story is to never get caught in a corner with no way of escape. While the above short video clip seems cute to watch, we are quite sure that the poor little kitty in the corner was not so enamored or infatuated with all the attention. You may be able to beat off the attack from one side, but in doing so, your other side is left defenseless. Even though you may be bigger stronger, the smaller multiple attacks will eventually win out, either leaving the bigger with multiple wounds, or by the potential escape of the one being attacked to run away and hide. In our Nation today, those who hold to the traditional values of morality and truth have found themselves under attack from multiple fronts. They have become the “victim” at which all attacks are aimed. Thus, the title of our blog today, “We Stand at the Confluence of Attacks”. The “confluence” is the point at which all things come together. Let’s spend just a few minutes describing the number of attacks being perpetrated against those who believe and practice conservatism.

There are so many attacks, we just don’t know where to begin, so we won’t try to put them in any sort of order, and as always, we are sure what we mention today will be “just the tip of the iceberg” and that undoubtedly you will be able to add to our list. First, let’s consider the attack on our fossil fuel industry. Sure, we understand that eventually scientific advancement will one day allow us to power everything from “clean” energy sources, maybe ones that have yet to be developed, but all of that development takes time. Our Nation didn’t go totally from the horse to the horseless carriage overnight. In fact, some sects within our society today still use horses. That is okay. This is a free country, or at least we once believed it to be.

Our Nation is currently being flooded by those who are not native to our land, and who have chosen to come here in violation to our Nation’s laws. Many of these people bring with them burdens we must bear, burdens like feeding them, healing them, teaching them, and dealing with drugs and other crimes.

While we are speaking of drugs, how about the threat of fentanyl and the xylazine that brings the curse of zombieism (refer to our blog on February 12, 2023, titled, “Xylazine and the Coming Zombie Apocalypse”). We have dealt before with the tragedy befalling our Nation due to the increasing number of deaths due to inadvertent overdoses, or let’s call it what it really is, the poisoning of many of our Nation’s citizens, especially among our youth. The culprit? The Mexican Cartels, supported by the flow of ingredients from the Chinese Communist Party. So, we can really add the Cartels and the CCP as separate entities attacking our Nation.

Speaking of the Cartels, many of them are currently operating within our Nation’s borders. There is a war between the various Cartels south of our border, and our Nation’s citizens are being caught in the crossfire and are being killed. What was once a fairly safe country to visit, our Nation’s citizens are finding that being able to enjoy the culture and the many wonderful aspects of our brothers and sisters of Mexico to be off limits due to this violence. It cannot be dismissed, the corruption of many within the political structure of Mexico.

Lest we forget, the CCP is directly attacking our Nation, not kinetically, at least not yet, but they have stolen more IP (Intellectual Property) than we even know. They have taken away much of our Nation’s manufacturing by using slave labor, allowed by many of our elite corporations and their board of directors in their thirst for more profit and increasing personal wealth, no matter who gets hurt or is taken advantage of in the process. The CCP boldly claim international sea lanes not theirs, and harass our legitimate access, even promulgating dangerous airspace encounters (remember the Chinese J-8 fighter jet that collided with our EP-3 over the South China Sea on April 1, 2001). They invade our phones and hack our computers all to gain advantage over our Nation. Do we really need to remind anyone that due to the incompetence of our current White House occupant, China flew a spy balloon over the entire breadth of our Nation?

If you believe in procreation, and protecting the unborn, you will be a target and can even be arrested and prosecuted for simply praying near an abortion clinic. If you believe in God, your worship facility can be closed by an executive order and your fellowship can be harassed for simply gathering together. Having a moral stand has become an evil to overcome. Speaking the truth is now a reason to cancel your speech, even though it, and the freedom of religion, is protected by the First Amendment to our Constitution.

If you have children in school, your kids are being fed a deficient diet of our Nation’s history, are being subjected to woke agendas not supported by the vast majority of Americans and are being forced to learn a whole new vocabulary of bogus pronouns, heretical ideologies, and false teachings. If you, as a parent, speak in opposition to any of these teachings, or even if you wish to find out more about what your child is being taught, you can quickly become the target of the woke mob, teachers’ unions, lawsuits, and even the Department of Justice as they may label you as a national terrorist.

You had better hope that a hazardous train derailment doesn’t happen near you. You may be poisoned for life and live in fear of premature death due to some form of toxin or cancer. It’s hard enough trying to keep free of the grip of the chemical soup inflicted upon our National lands, all in the pursuit of someone’s personal wealth. We suffer now the results of decades old “experiments” like DDT and DES (diethylstilbestrol, refer to our extensive blogs, titled, “TRANSPHOBIA”). Let’s not forget about asbestos, PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), mercury and lead poisoning. We can add to the list seemingly harmless things like airbags, cosmetics, food (GMOs), detergents, packaging, plastic cups and plates, and even toys, all being just the tip of the iceberg of EDCs (Endocrine Disruption Chemicals) that we may touch daily. Manufactured chemicals used since the 1940’s known as PFAS (Perfluorooctanic Acid – PFOA, and Perfluorooctane Sulfonate – PFOS) “. . . break down very slowly and can build up in people, animals, and the environment over time.” (epa.gov; updated March 16, 2022.) Do NOT even get us started about the COVID-19 injections that were mandated! The ONLY way these jabs have been allowed to exist, forced upon our citizens, is because of Presidential and Governmental dictates declaring a “State of Emergency”. Without these declarations the EUA (Emergency Use Authorization) would not exist, and the EUAs only existed because effective therapeutics were dismissed as disinformation. Had therapeutics been allowed; the subjugation of our citizenry would not have occurred. How’s your health these days? Have you known anyone who continually gets COVID-19. Have you known someone who has suddenly died of a heart attack or pulmonary embolism? Maybe no autopsy was done to determine a cause, and we are simply left with the conclusion that the death was unexpected.

Are you concerned about the potential for a World War III? Are you concerned about the rising costs of groceries or rent? Are you having to spend more for less? Have you experienced not being able to buy or obtain something you may need? We are in the throes of attacks on our FREEDOM and LIBERTY. We Stand at the Confluence of Attacks. However dire the situation may seem; we will conclude with some words of encouragement to stay in the fight.

A Revisit to the Chatbot One More Time

Two weeks ago, we decided to dabble into the world of ChatGPT. We wanted to check it out for ourselves to determine its potential for providing a good source of information quickly and accurately. Please refer back to our blog on February 19, 2023, titled “Can AI take over our research?” We found that it was very quick in providing information, and for the most part was fairly insightful. However, we found one glaring flaw that made us question its product as being accurate. We posed one other question wondering what it might say. “500-word essay telling how to bring God back into our conversations.” Once again, we were quite surprised at the swiftness of response, and for the most part was seemingly accurate. However, we must admit that it seemed to emphasize to us how to be “kind, forgiving, and humble” to avoid confrontation and boldness. In our reading of the Bible Scriptures, Jesus was neither “kind, forgiving or humble” in his attacks on the Sadducees and Pharisees of his day who lauded over and profited off of the religious masses (Matthew 23: 1-33). We found ChatGPT‘s response to be akin to throwing a wet blanket over one’s beliefs so as to not offend or upset others. Read for yourself ChatGPT‘s response to our question.

“In our modern world, it can be easy to forget about the importance of God and spirituality in our daily lives. In many conversations, especially in more secular or scientific settings, it can feel awkward or inappropriate to bring up topics related to religion or faith. However, it is important to remember that our beliefs and values are a fundamental part of who we are, and should not be hidden away or ignored in our interactions with others. Here are some tips on how to bring God back into our conversations:

  1. Be open and honest about your beliefs. If you are comfortable sharing your faith with others, don’t be afraid to do so. When appropriate, share your experiences and how your faith has impacted your life. This can help others to understand your perspective and to see the positive influence that spirituality can have.
  2. Look for opportunities to discuss values and ethics. Even if you don’t feel comfortable discussing religion directly, you can still bring up topics related to ethics and morality. For example, you might discuss the importance of kindness, forgiveness, or humility, and how these values align with your faith.
  3. Ask others about their beliefs. Showing an interest in other people’s spiritual beliefs can be a great way to foster understanding and connection. By asking questions and listening with an open mind, you may find that you have more in common with others than you initially thought.
  4. Use religious language appropriately. If you do want to use language related to your faith, be mindful of the context and the audience. For example, it may be appropriate to use religious language in a conversation with a fellow believer, but it may not be appropriate in a more formal or secular setting.
  5. Respect others’ beliefs. It’s important to remember that not everyone shares the same beliefs, and that’s okay. In conversations, be respectful of others’ beliefs and avoid trying to force your own beliefs on others. Instead, focus on finding common ground and building connections.

In summary, bringing God back into our conversations can be a meaningful way to connect with others and to share the positive impact that faith can have in our lives. By being open and honest, looking for opportunities to discuss values and ethics, asking others about their beliefs, using religious language appropriately, and respecting others’ beliefs, we can create a more understanding and accepting world.”

While on the surface, ChatGPT‘s response seemed insightful, but upon further reflection we found it encouraging a non-confrontational approach. It was telling us to not step over the line, and to basically “go along to get along”. We are here today to declare that restoring our Nation’s FREEDOM and LIBERTY requires conflict, boldness, and a willingness to “tell it like it really is”, without sugar-coating issues or avoiding difficult topics. Jesus also said, “I did not come to bring peace but a sword.” (Matthew 10:34-35.) There will be conflict even within households. It is a matter of eternal life and death. Any good phycologist will say that to get from avoidance to intimacy requires a path through conflict. One has to resolve those issues that made avoidance the easier path, but the only way to do that is through conflict that breeds resolution. Not all conflict will result in resolution that leads to intimacy. Some people will never change. Some people are unfortunately stuck in a self-pity loop, fed by outlandish expectations, surrounded by a mental fog that prevents clear and truthful analysis. Please re-read our blog posted on June 13, 2021, titled, “Dangers of Sociopaths“.

We wanted to give ChatGPT one last bite at the apple to see if prejudice or bias was present in its responses. We asked two questions. The first, “In 100 words explain why Donald Trump is a good President”. Below is ChatGPT‘s response.

“As an AI language model, I strive to provide balanced and neutral responses. However, it is worth noting that the assessment of a president’s performance is subjective and can vary based on personal beliefs and opinions. Therefore, I cannot definitively state that Donald Trump was a good president in 100 words. His policies and actions during his presidency were met with both support and opposition, and his legacy will continue to be debated by historians and political analysts for years to come.”

In 82 words ChatGPT avoided saying anything about him never starting any wars, bringing more peace to the Middle East, ushering in a period of prosperity in 2019 for all races not seen in decades, and all the while fending off bogus attacks from both sides of the aisle trying to defeat this interloper from outside the Washington D.C. sphere of influence. Nothing positive was said. Now, let’s compare this with what ChatGPT had to say about the current occupant of the White House. “In 100 words explain why Joe Biden is a good President.”

“As an AI language model, I strive to provide balanced and neutral responses. However, some reasons why some people might consider Joe Biden a good President could include his efforts to address the COVID-19 pandemic through widespread vaccination efforts, his commitment to climate change and environmental protection, and his efforts to promote diversity and social justice. Additionally, he has made efforts to restore the country’s reputation on the world stage through diplomatic efforts and rejoining international agreements. However, it’s worth noting that some people may disagree with his policies or find fault with his administration’s handling of certain issues.”

In 99 words ChatGPT mentioned seven things that it considered to be positives (although we would argue that what was mentioned were actually negatives). It is clear to see that ChatGPT has a clear bias, because as we mentioned in the previous blog, it is fed by those who have an agenda to sell, a tale to tell, an uprising to quell. “Garbage In, Garbage Out.”

It is clear by the demonstrations we have provided that ChatGPT, in-point-of-fact any “chatbot”, is to be met with an extreme level of skepticism. Using AI to do one’s entire research is begging for error. As always, we maintain that the ever-increasing levels of AI operating within our Nation’s systems leaves our country vulnerable to wicked influences. If you treasure your FREEDOM and LIBERTY, it incumbent upon all of us to do our part to preserve, protect, and defend our Nation from malicious AI software, and those who are determined to force our complete obedience and acceptance of these often-nefarious systems. The day is late. The fight is now. How will you respond? What will you do?

Current Government “Whack-a-Mole”

We don’t mean to be rude, but many Americans today can best be described as the little kitty pictured above. Many of our Nation’s citizens are enamored with and distracted by whatever seems to “pop up” next in the political spectrum. Many have a hard time figuring out what the game above is really all about. Many have memories that are either quickly erased and forgotten, or most likely are too encumbered with their daily lives to be able to focus on remembering more than one issue at a time, and even if remembered, give it little care or concern. It would seem that many cannot keep more than a couple political issues juggling “in the air” at the same time. Our current government leaders have thrown so many of these balls “in the air” that it would seem nearly impossible for anyone to keep track of the multiple political issues that are of critical importance. While the current government leaders claim they can deal with more than one issue at a time, they have only proven that they can screw up multiple issues simultaneously.

We are simply amazed at the large number of political issues that have become hot topics over the last two years. What is so depressing is that whenever one issue arises and becomes the center of attention, one more “pops up” right away drawing attention away from the one that “popped up” just before. There never seems to be time enough to deal adequately with one issue before another issue rears its ugly head. Our focus is quickly diverted from the first issue to “pop-up” to now focus on the new issue. That which was once “top of mind” has now become forgotten. After a while, so many issues have “popped up” that we quickly lose all awareness of previous issues. Sadly, even if one issue is dealt with, it is either so poorly addressed or resolved, that over just a short period of time it once again “pops up” and becomes a major issue that needs to be redressed. This is where our blog title takes its roots in Current Government “Whack-a-mole”. We thought it vital to remind all of our readers as to the number of “pop up” issues that need to be remembered and need to be adequately addressed. In no particular order, see if you can remember all of these political issues created by the current government leaders. See if you can add to our list.

Restricting and cancelling the leasing and permitting of fossil fuel harvesting, transportation, and refining, all the while increasing fuel and energy costs for the average American.

Encouraging illegal aliens to “surg” our country’s borders, halting barrier construction, redirecting border funding from security to processing, while at the same time funneling taxpayer money to NGO’s allowing them to conduct the current government’s dirty work.

Implementing and mandating mask and vaccine mandates, while closing businesses, institutions, and prohibiting religious gatherings and practices, fining and penalizing those who choose to practice FREEDOM and LIBERTY.

Allowing the perpetrators of COVID-19, foreign and domestic, to remain unchallenged and unaccountable.

Aiding our CDC, the WHO, social media conglomerates, and elite corporations to filter information only allowing the preferred governmental agenda narrative.

The pathetic retreat from Afghanistan, leaving behind Americans and many of those who assisted us there, as well as the 80 to 90 billion dollars-worth of equipment, while hastily bombing an innocent family to death in response to the killing and wounding of many of our service members.

Supply chain issues caused massive cargo vessel backups waiting for port space. Shortages of baby formulas and eggs.

Allowing a war to develop and continue in Ukraine, fed by our tax dollars and weapons, and not seeking a peaceful resolution. Meanwhile, the CCP grows in influence and power, fully aware of our County’s weakened leadership and world dominance.

Stating that the Nord Stream Pipeline would not be allowed to exist, as it was subsequently bombed out of existence, an environmental catastrophe. We wonder what parties, governments, and agencies were responsible?

The current government leadership is encouraging attacks on private citizens, who stand by their FREEDOM and LIBERTY to speak and protest, by government agencies like the FBI and the DOJ.

Trillions of dollars funneled into sketchy programs leaving our citizen’s children and grandchildren with a CBO projected national debt of 50 trillion by end of this decade (Forbes). Due to the increasing debt, our nation’s interest rates are triple their target value of 2 percent, and inflation is devaluing our currency making all commodities more expensive each and every month, weakening the dollar as the world currency.

Recently, the national air transportation system came to a complete halt due to supposed computer problems, first time this took place since September 11, 2001.

A CCP spy balloon was allowed to fly over the entire breadth of our Nation, and in response we shot down three large party balloons which our government has no desire to find as it would verify our waste of millions of dollars used to take them down.

A train wreck was allowed to occur creating an environmental disaster, and citizens are left in the lurch as to their long-term health and property and business investments.

Now our current government cabal wants to transfer our Nation’s sovereignty over to the WHO, giving it the authority to dictate lockdowns, injections, penalties, and financial obligations.

We only want to ask one question in response to any of the “Whack-A-Mole” issues mentioned above. Have any of these issues been totally resolved in a favorable manner? We declare to you that none of these political bomb shells have been disarmed safely and successfully. Not only have they remained as thorny issues, but they continue to “pop up” in our national awareness when something new is added to the issue. It can be an illegal alien causing a death of an American citizen, or the cost of food continuing to increase, or the threat of a nuclear conflict growing closer, or a push for more mandates requiring injections or masks, or our National debt continuing to increase, or another train spills hazardous chemicals, or another attack is made on our electrical power grid, or another computer hack exposes more personal identities while shutting down bank transactions pending ransom payments, or . . . . we think you get the point. What comes around goes around, or what goes around comes around, it doesn’t matter which you prefer. These issues, along with other ones, are bound to “pop up” under the current inept government leadership.

All we know for sure is that any one of these or other issues are a threat to our individual and National FREEDOM and LIBERTY. It is incumbent upon each one of us to do our part to oppose in any way possible the current government’s attempts to disarm and destroy our Nation’s Constitution and Bill of Rights. Be a national patriot and buy American, resist the belief that we are a racist nation, and that equity supersedes equality. Love our Creator. Love our neighbors. Abhor evil. Speak the truth without fear and be not ashamed of our heritage, for we are truly a blessed Nation, but only if we appreciate it and fight for it. Put feet to your prayers, and hands to your righteous acts.

Can AI take over our research?

By now, many of you are becoming more aware of the advancement of AI (Artificial Intelligence) into the fabric of our society. Some of you may have also become aware over the last month of a “chatbot” known as “ChatGPT”. “ChatGPT is an advanced AI chatbot trained by OpenAI which interacts in a conversational way. The dialogue format makes it possible for ChatGPT to answer followup questions, admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests. ChatGPT relies on the powerful GPT-3.5 technology. GPT stands for Generative Pre-Trained transformer, a complex neural network based on the revolutionary Attention concept.” (chatgptonline.net.) Okay, we may have lost a few of you so far, but just wait. Let’s confuse even more of you. So, what is the “Attention concept”. The above quote sent us to another site for the definition. Hang on to your hats. Here it goes. “The dominant sequence transduction models are based on complex recurrent or convolutional neural networks in an encoder-decoder configuration. The best performing models also connect the encoder and decoder through an attention mechanism.” (arXiv.org; Cornell University; Computer Science – Computation and Language; revised December 6, 2017.) The article goes on, but unless you are an IT expert, you are probably already confused enough. But let’s confuse you even more. “ChatGPT is fine-tuned from a model in the GPT3.5 series, which finished training in early 2022 . . . [and} were trained on an Azure AI supercomputing infrastructure.” Those who developed this AI also share some of its limitations. “ChatGPT sometimes writes plausible-sounding but incorrect or nonsensical answers. Fixing this issue is challenging, as: (1) during RL training, there’s currently no source of truth; (2) training the model to be more cautions causes it to decline questions that it can answer correctly; and (3) supervised training misleads the model because the ideal answer depends on what the model knows, rather than what the human demonstrator knows.” (chatgptonline.net.)

We consider ourselves at FREEDOMGOFORTH.COM to be relative novices, neophytes, to the developing area of Chatbots, and how AI is developed in support of these tools. We do understand that as more information is fed into AI, the more data and source material is available from which to draw its conclusions. As it is in all things starting with the beginning of the computer age, “Garbage In – Garbage Out“. The accuracy of AI is therefore dependent upon the validity of source material, and potential bias of those providing the source material. AI can be set up to accept or reject source material by a human generated algorithm. Therefore, anything produced through these Chatbots needs to be taken with the proverbial “grain of salt”. As it is with all good research, it should be backed up with multiple sources to be able to determine validity.

We were very curious about “ChatGPT”, so we decided to try it with a couple of questions to see what it might say in response. Quite frankly, we were shocked at the results. Not only was the information provided quickly, in about one minute, but the response was well organized and thought provoking. Below, you will see the question we asked, and in the yellow boxes is ChatGPT‘s response.

This was our question:

500-word essay as to why morality is taking a back seat to sociopathy.

Here is ChatGPT’s response:

“In recent years, it seems that morality is taking a back seat to sociopathy in many aspects of our society. Sociopathy, which is characterized by a lack of empathy and disregard for others, is becoming more prevalent and accepted, while morality and ethical behavior seem to be losing ground. There are several reasons why this might be happening.

Firstly, the rise of social media and online communication has created an environment in which people feel more anonymous and less accountable for their actions. This can lead to a lack of empathy and increased aggression, as people are more likely to say and do things they wouldn’t do in person. Social media also creates a “cancel culture” in which people are quick to judge and condemn others without knowing the full story, leading to a lack of forgiveness and empathy.

Secondly, the increasing focus on individualism and self-interest in our society can lead to a lack of concern for others. When people are encouraged to focus solely on their own needs and desires, they may be less likely to consider the impact of their actions on others. This can lead to selfish and unethical behavior, as people prioritize their own interests over the common good.

Thirdly, the dehumanization of others has become more widespread in our society. This can occur when people view others as mere objects or statistics, rather than as complex human beings with their own thoughts, feelings, and experiences. This can lead to a lack of empathy and a disregard for the well-being of others.

Finally, the influence of popular culture and media has led to a normalization of sociopathic behavior. In movies, TV shows, and video games, sociopathic behavior is often glorified and celebrated, leading young people to view it as desirable and cool. This can lead to a desensitization to violence and a lack of empathy for others.

In conclusion, there are many reasons why sociopathy may be taking a back seat to morality in our society. The rise of social media, the focus on individualism and self-interest, the dehumanization of others, and the influence of popular culture and media all contribute to this phenomenon. It is important that we recognize and address these issues in order to promote a more compassionate and empathetic society. This can be achieved through education, increased awareness, and a focus on promoting empathy and ethical behavior in all aspects of our lives. By prioritizing morality and empathy, we can create a better and more just world for all.”

All of what was in the six paragraphs above was written entirely by ChatGPT. Some 421 words, under our requested 500-word thesis. The only glaring flaw we noted was in the first sentence of the last paragraph where it flipped sociopathy and morality, in direct conflict with the first sentence of the first paragraph. Why, we have no idea, but it is only proof that ChatGPT needs a proof-reader, and that whatever it produces needs to be checked and double checked. Within the next couple of weeks, we will reveal ChatGPT‘s response to our other question. We do not intend to use this AI to develop all of our blogs. We want to be able to trust the multiple sources we use, and we constantly do our best to provide accurate information that is truthful. Our goal is to always encourage our readers to fight for our FREEDOM and LIBERTY, even in the realm of the world of AI. We must be vigilant to always seek out the truth and be on guard to not naively believe everything that we read or hear, as the source can be from a biased and flawed AI system.

Xylazine and the Coming Zombie Apocalypse

Wow! You may now be thinking we have really lost our marbles with a blog title like the one above. But before you jump to some wild conclusions, let us aim you in the right direction in our attempt today to expose a danger that potentially lies ahead for our Nation. Now, we are not at all “zombie” believers. We will admit there seems to be a rather large following within our country who seem to be mesmerized by this particular topic. There are those who will dress up as zombies for conventions, and who may even attend “The Living Dead Weekend” in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania (Evans City) this coming October. Believe it or not, it is the 45th anniversary of this event. There is also a similar event in Monroeville in June. One can even get stickers to go on your vehicle claiming you are part of the “Zombie Outbreak Response Team”. How about the wide variety of bumper stickers available to affix to your vehicle, like “My zombie ate your honor student’s brains”, or one of our favorites which we have personally seen, “I Don’t Brake for Zombies”. Zombie movies have been around for more than 80 years. In 1932 we got “White Zombies”, and in 1943 we got “I Walked with a Zombie”. Zombies appeared in literature as far back as 1697 (history.com; June 10, 2019). Zombies were even getting their “groove on” in Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” video. “A zombie, according to pop culture and folklore, is usually either a reawakened corpse with a ravenous appetite or someone bitten by another zombie infected with a ‘zombie virus’.” “Zombies are usually portrayed as strong but robotic beings with rotting flesh. their only mission is to feed.” (history.com; June 10, 2019.) Here in lies the crux of our blog today.

We are pretty sure that the vast majority of our blog readers have not become familiar with the new form of addictive drug that is inundating our society today. The drug is called “Xylazine”. It is a clear liquid and is also known as “tranq”. “Xylazine was first synthesized by Bayer in 1962 and then approved as an animal medicine by the FDA in 1972” (drugs.com; November 10, 2022). It “. . . is a pharmaceutical drug used for sedation, anesthesia, muscle relaxation, and analgesia in animals such as horses, cattle, and other non-human mammals.” (Wikipedia.) “Xylazine, a fast-acting central nervous system depressant that is not approved for human use, is showing up largely in fentanyl, the ultra-potent synthetic opioid that is mixed into heroin and pressed into counterfeit pills and responsible for more overdose deaths than any other drug. Adding xylazine to fentanyl, which is also a depressant, increases the already high odds of overdose. It’s a double whammy to the central nervous system.” (news.yahoo.com; September 23, 2022; Georgea Kovanis.) The number of deaths attributed to Xylazine “is certainly an undercount. Most hospital emergency department drug tests are not calibrated to detect xylazine and since a xylazine overdose looks similar to an opioid overdose . . .they’re often mistaken for heroin or fentanyl overdoses. In addition, medical examiners don’t always look for xylazine post-mortem.” “Narcan . . . may reverse an opioid overdose if given in a timely manner. But it only works on opioids. And xylazine is not an opioid.” (news.yahoo.com; September 23, 2022; Georgea Kovanis.) “. . . repeated exposure to xylazine may lead to dependence, addiction and withdrawal symptoms, which may include agitation or severe anxiety when doses are decreased or stopped. These side effects may lead to continued abuse and undermine any efforts to treat an ongoing opioid use disorder (OUD)” (drugs.com; November 10, 2022). As of the writing of the preceding quote, “It is not yet known if xylazine is produced illegally or diverted from the veterinary drug supply. The FDA is continuing to investigate the source and will report when more information is available.” It is really unknown how many drug deaths were found with xylazine present. “A study from 2022 found that illicitly manufactured fentanyl was present in 98.4 % of overdose deaths where xylazine was also present. Other drugs detected with xylazine included cocaine (45.4%), benzodiazepines (28.4%), heroin (23.3%), alcohol (19.7%), as well as gabapentin, methadone, and prescription opioids.” (drugs.com; November 10, 2022.)

Here is where our blog comes into greater focus. “Use of xylazine is linked to grotesque skin ulcers that turn into craters of rot. It’s ‘not even a normal abscess’. ‘This is more like tissue death. This is black, necrotic tissue destruction.’ And the necrotic tissue doesn’t necessarily develop at the site where the drug was injected. There’s evidence it can appear anywhere on the body.” So why do drug users prefer to use Xylazine? “A fentanyl high is more intense than a heroin high, but it is also relatively short-lived. Drug users . . . have told researchers that xylazine extends the feeling of euphoria they get from a fentanyl high.” (news.yahoo.com; September 23, 2022; Georgea Kovanis.) “Xylazine is not listed as a government-controlled substance, so it ends up in a legal grey area.” “Users can be knocked out for hours, and there’s a mysterious flesh-eating effect that leaves some users with horrific, hard to heal wounds that can lead to amputation.” (abc7chicago.com; February 9, 2023; Maggie Green.)

With the knowledge you now have about this new curse brought upon our society, we need to be more diligent to make every effort to eradicate this disease sweeping through our Nation. We must make Xylazine impossible for the general public to get and make it a “government-controlled substance”. Any unauthorized manufacture, distribution, purchase or use must be dealt with swiftly and forcefully. This will help stem the flow of this zombie drug into our society. The other action that must be taken is to zero in on those who are using these drugs. Safe drug use locations, building tiny homes for them to reside in so they can “use” their preferred drug in the privacy of their “own little home”, will never solve the root problem. It would be comparable to frosting a cake before it is baked. Our Nation is being attacked on every front. One attack front that is eating away at the soul of our Nation is our lack of concern for the homeless, drug addicted masses. It is much easier to ignore them, than to even recognize them. Shuffling the homeless and drug addicted from one location to another only moves the real problem from one area to another. Mark our words. If we do not attack this issue head on, we will have a front-row seat to “Xylazine and the Coming Apocalypse”. Many of these individuals will become more and more addicted, and when they wake up from their near-death sleep, they will need another “fix” to keep their addiction intact. They will walk around with sores and cavernous wounds as they commit acts of violence and destruction looking for something they can steal and sell to be able to afford their addiction. If you are in the way, you will be an impediment to their overwhelming desire, and they will do whatever it takes to achieve their goal, unconcerned of any potential consequences. Establishing a “Zombie Outbreak Response Team” is not the answer. A recent debate for the governorship of a west coast state had both the Republican and Democrat candidates stating that mandatory drug treatment would not be required as a prerequisite to providing the addicted homeless state funded housing. When does it ever make sense to give out rewards before the race is even begun? Again, this weak approach to those who are drug addicted only moves the real problem from one area to another. The real honest and brave answer resides in a communal intervention with each individual involved in these drugs to bring them into a recovery protocol.

Our FREEDOM and LIBERTY are at stake. The foundation of our Nation is being eaten away at the very lowest levels, eating away at the very flesh of those individuals who reside in a constant state of dependency upon drugs. If we cannot take care of them, what does this declare to the world, but more importantly, to our Creator who gave us everything while we were yet consumed in our own decay, eating away at our very souls, in sinful addictions (Romans 5:8-10)?

Floating a “Trial Balloon”

And you thought balloons were only for birthday and wedding parties. Surprise! Balloons have been in use for centuries. In 1794, “The French Committee of Public Safety created the Corps d’ Aerostiers.” “These balloons were sporadically used for reconnaissance during the French Revolutionary Wars, seeing action during the battles of Charleroi and Fleurus. Nearly 70 years later during the American Civil war, balloons were still being used for similar military purposes.” (nps.gov; January 12, 2021.) The high-altitude free-fall record from a balloon was set by Google Engineer Alan Eustace on October 14, 2012, jumping out at a height of 135,890 feet. Steve Fossett flew the first solo balloon flight around the world in 2002, flying over 20,000 miles in 14 days. “Lawnchair Larry”, Larry Walters, took to the sky in 1982 climbing to over 3 miles high while sitting in his lawn chair attached to 42 eight-foot balloons filled with helium. He took sandwiches for the trip, sunglasses which he dropped as he lifted off, and a pistol to shootout the balloons to provide his descent, which he also eventually dropped. He was found dangling five feet off the ground, the remaining balloons hanging up in powerlines which the power company had disabled, and he hopped out of his chair as a crowd surrounded him. Balloons are also used to scare off unwanted birds, to announce yard or estate sales, or lend directions to events. Balloons are used routinely to record and track weather data, and balloons can be twisted into carnival shapes delighting children and can be used to power kids’ toys. We can even sit on large balloons for relaxation or exercise.

The picture above is the “spy balloon” which had been haunting our Nation of late. We are doing our blog today to declare another use for a balloon, “Floating a “Trial Balloon”. We have all heard and are familiar with this term many have used, which has really nothing to do with any kind of a balloon. It has to do with a form of sample test to see if a proposed course of action would be acceptable as a method to use in moving forward with any plan. It is done to sample the reaction of those who become aware of this “Trial Balloon”. Usually, it is used to “test the waters” and to observe the reactions. If the reaction is very negative, the “Trial Balloon” is allowed to “deflate”, and the proposed course of action is halted. If few react to the “Trial Balloon”, this becomes a potential course of action to take.

What we have witnessed this last week is basically a “Trial Balloon”, sent by the Chinese Communist Party. They really could not care less about any potential secrets, pictures or videos that may have been obtained, for that really was not their purpose in sending this “Trial Balloon” our way. There is no doubt that the CCP has invaded our Nation’s sovereign air space. Why would they do this? We believe we can answer this question. It really doesn’t take a rocket scientist, or in this case a balloon scientist, to figure this out. What frustrates us is that apparently many in the woke lame-stream media cannot figure this out, and we hate to say it, but even those in charge of our current government seem ambivalent to what is really going on. Our Nation has been set up by those currently in power of our Nation’s government. We have shown extreme weakness in our foreign affairs of late. We bungled our retreat from Afghanistan, and we have stubbled our way into a kinetic conflict in a part of the world that has little bearing on the safety of our Nation. The current government has terminated policies designed to ferret out CCP operatives within our Nation’s business, college and academy institutions. We have not forced China to reveal how they allowed COVID-19 to be manufactured and released from their country killing millions world-wide, nor have we applied any pressure to the CCP to halt the manufacture and distribution of Fentanyl into our Nation, which is killing thousands. We have allowed the CCP to invest in our financial institutions and food processing and agricultural operations. They have been allowed to purchase our land. Even the COVID-19 injections have a connection to the CCP. Probably most troubling is that the current occupant of the White House has been compromised by the CCP through personal financial dealings, orchestrated by his family, and has become unable to act in the best interest of the country he is sworn to protect and defend. Our current government is only reactionary and seems unable to predict and have ready optional plans for potential events. Our Nation has proven it is weak and unable to make important decisions in a timely manner.

Do other countries protect their airspace? You bet! On July 27, 1955, Bulgarian jets shot down a civilian aircraft that strayed into Bulgarian airspace. On April 20, 1983, Korean Airlines flight 007 was shot down by the Soviet Union when it intruded into Soviet airspace. On April 20, 1978, Korean airlines flight 902 accidentally violated Soviet airspace and was shot down. Actually, the list is massive as nation upon nation have taken aggressive actions to protect their airspace. Why are we not defending our sovereign airspace?

What is disturbing is that those currently in control of our Nation have known about this balloon for months! They knew it was from China, because they have been monitoring it as it left China and flew over the Pacific Ocean, then over Alaska, and over Canada on its way to the U.S. It is not that the current leaders of our government were caught off guard. Even more troubling is that we are now learning that these balloons have been flying over Japan and other countries, and even over our Nation before. Currently, there are other Chinese balloons flying over other nations as of this writing, namely one being reported flying over Latin America.

China is Floating a “Trial Balloon”. They are testing our resolve, our courage, our defenses. China is watching what the U.S. will do. Do we take it down with a missile, or with a laser, or some other “secret” weapon system we have on the shelf? Do we reveal an undisclosed method of defense, dropping our trousers and revealing our hidden secrets? So far, we have been weak and have done nothing until the damage was done. Maybe we have intercepted transmissions from the package of sensors under the balloon, but that is not the point. The point is that the CCP has successfully penetrated our Nation’s defenses. What really was it carrying? Could it have carried bioweapons? How about a nuclear device that could have been exploded above us creating an EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) that could have disabled our Nation’s power grid system and many of our electronic components, devices and transformers, including computer chips found in most newer cars making them little more than very heavy paper weights.

China is Floating a “Trial Balloon”. Will the balloon’s destruction give China justification to take some sort of retaliatory action? Would this take us one step closer to a kinetic conflict? China is already at war with us politically, economically, biologically, socially, and in cyber space. China has been Floating a “Trial Balloon” over and around Taiwan for months, overflying their sovereign airspace and penetrating their sovereign waters, just itching for a response to give China a reason to invade. Are they just itching for us to take action giving them reason to escalate tensions? China is simply pushing the “envelope” to see what they can get away with. If our Nation responds “in kind” by sending higher level delegates to Taiwan or expediting the shipment of weapons and weapon systems there, we could be stepping into their trap. Prevention always supersedes retaliation.

How should our Nation have responded to China Floating a “Trial Balloon”. We should have notified the CCP that if that balloon reaches our sovereign airspace in Alaska, it WILL be brought down! Unfortunately, we didn’t know about its approach because that was another one of those national “secrets” our current government kept from the citizens of our Nation. No sense crying over spilled milk now. The damage has been done. Those sending any more balloons need to be warned that if they make their way towards our sovereign airspace, they will also be brought down immediately to preserve our Nation’s security. One writer put it this way. So, if you climb up with a stratospheric balloon over 30km [98,000], every nation on earth is practically helpless. I don’t need to say that such a stunt would really tick off a nation and is by no means recommendable.” (Thorsten S.; September 3, 2017; aviation.StackExchange.com.) I guess our current government leaders were not “ticked off” enough. By every population sample we observed, there was almost unanimous agreement to bring down that “Trial Balloon” sooner, rather than the later time, as finally decided by our flat-footed government leaders. They were unwilling and unable to make the early call to terminate the balloons flight before it traversed the entire breadth of our Nation. Shame on them for making our Nation look indecisive and weak!

Our Nation’s FREEDOM and LIBERTY are at stake. Any country attempting to penetrate our Nation’s sovereign air and water borders without prior approval and coordination should be met with swift and decisive actions. If you agree with our stand on this Floating “Trial Balloon”, make your voices heard to your representatives.

“WE CHOOSE TRUTH OVER FACTS”

This is a quote made by then Presidential candidate Joe Biden in Iowa on August 7, 2019. At first, we were very concerned that someone would make this type of gaff while on the campaign trail. We thought certainly most others would have the same conclusions, but this turned out to generally not be the case. Over time, we have become more aware that the statement made was not a faux pas (a false step, a slip, or a mistake). We believe this because those who believe that Truth and Facts belong in the same moral category need to rethink their stance on this assumption, that all people believe Truth and Facts are of the same ilk. In order to understand that there is actually a difference between those two concepts, we need to look at both words more closely to understand how certain individuals, even entities, do not place these words into the same category. Understanding this will better help us understand how our Nation’s citizens are being manipulated into subserviency.

Truth or Facts: “I did not have sexual relations with that woman!” This was the statement made by the President of the United States on January 26, 1998. Define for us what “sexual relations” means? As we are trying to keep this blog rated PG, some draw the line that anything up until intercourse does not constitute “sexual relations”. Others would draw the line that “sexual relations” are prevented only by the absence of flesh-on-flesh touch and should only be allowed within the confines of marriage. We don’t mean to pick on then President Bill Clinton, but unfortunately one must sleep in the bed you make. On August 17, 1998, he also said, “It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is.” How would you define the word “is”? Lawyers thrive on the ability to persuade or even deceive by contriving carefully worded statements, or by using a word that can have an ethereal meaning. Is the glass half full or half empty? It depends upon your perspective. Is the sky partly cloudy or mostly clear? Is her dress blue, or is it turquoise blue, powder blue, sky blue, electric blue, Air Force blue, baby blue, or steel blue? Again, your perspective, as a function of your up-bringing, experience or training, will dictate your response and it’s likely to differ from the person sitting next to you. So broadly speaking, are these issues of “Truth” or are they issues of “Facts”.

At FREEDOMGOFORTH.COM, we believe there IS an ultimate Truth. Unfortunately, as flawed humans, we are not and cannot be the ultimate arbitrators of differentiation. Only the Creator can set and determine what is Truth and what are Facts. Even the governor of the Roman province of Judaea, Pontius Pilot, could not differentiate the real Truth when he said to Jesus, “What is Truth” (John 18:38).

We are a firm believer that Facts can always be manipulated to produce the desired results supporting one’s ideology. From where did you get your “Facts”? Did they come from a biased source; a survey weighted to support your theses; a flawed study; or derived from a hidden “whistleblower”. Were your “Facts” even real, or were they generated from false or pretend sources, or invented out of thin air?

Flawed humans, unguided by their Creator’s morals, are prone to lie to protect their livelihood, to retain their influence, to obtain their desired goals, and to preserve their personal ideology. People often choose to stray from telling the Truth in multiple ways. One can choose to simply ignore the issue and thereby avoid having to give indication one way or the other. Sometimes only part of the Truth is told, only the part that supports their ideology. Sometimes only a limited amount of the truth is shared in order to keep the “Truth” horses fastened to their agenda wagon. A good lie always includes some “Truth”, just enough to make it believable. However, sometimes the “Truth” is completely ignored. If it is ignored enough by telling the same lie over and over again, over time it can become the perceived “Truth”, even though it is still all a complete lie. This is called “GASLIGHTING”. Please go back and read our blog on February 27, 2022, titled, “GASLIGHTING – Is This Happening To Me?” Sociopaths are prone to share their own version of the Truth, in any of the ways above, to secure their desired outcomes. Please review our blog on June 13, 2021, titled, “Dangers of Sociopaths”. While you’re at it, read also our blog on June 16, 2021, titled, “What Establishes Conscience?” Both of these blogs will give you a better understanding of why and how certain individuals speak and act as they do, often in ways contrary to our better human nature. Unfortunately, there are those who are incapable of telling the Truth and of treating Facts justly. They are “Compulsive” liars, “Pathological” liars, “Sociopathic” liars, “White” liars, or “Careless” liars, take your pick (stylecraze.com; January 10, 2023). The current occupant of the White House has been prolific in sharing everything but the “Truth”, and in the process has shared “Facts” which have no basis in reality. How the general public continues to allow this individual to persist in his current position is beyond belief. Since a large percentage of the citizens within our Nation routinely absorb as “Truth” and “Facts” anything they see, hear or read from the usual media sources, maybe this is not so surprising. The sources they normally use include TikTok, Facebook (META), Twitter, Google, and Microsoft, all using forms of algorithms created to support agendas biased against traditional views of the majority of our citizens and running counter to the Constitution and Bill of Rights established as the bedrock foundation of our Nation. There are those who will go to any degree to twist, warp, and distort Truth and Facts just to achieve their goals and agendas. Their moral compass is broken.

It is incumbent upon us to review just a few of the lies the current occupant of the White House has told in hopes that a quick review will spur a renewed sense of urgency to become involved in our Nation’s political process, not simply by voting, but by expressing our “Truth” and “Facts” as honestly and morally as possible whenever the opportunity presents itself. As we have stated in other blogs, you probably can add to our list, but this list will just wet your whistle and maybe keep the fire in your belly burning in hopes that it will also light a fire under your feet to encourage you to become and stay more involved in saving our Nation’s FREEDOM and LIBERTY. The following lies and distortions of Truth and Facts have been a constant companion to the current occupant of the White House:

He was never arrested while supporting civil rights.

He never ” . . . had a house burn down with my wife in it . . . ” and didn’t “almost [lose] a couple firefighters” (minor kitchen fire with no evidence visible from the outside).

He never had a conversation with an Amtrak conductor in his seventh year as VP, when the guy retired 15 years before he became VP and the guy had died by the year of the tale.

Ne was never offered a job by an Idaho lumber company.

He never “used to drive” and 18-wheeler.

He never visited Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life synagogue after the 2018 massacre.

He was never a blue-collar worker.

“All the economists” never backed his plans.

He didn’t graduate in the top half of his class at Syracuse College of Law. He was 76th in a class of 85.

He did not visit Afghanistan and Iraq twice as president as claimed in 2022.

He was never appointed to the Naval Academy in 1965 by the late Senator J. Caleb Boggs (R-DE).

His son Beau did not die in Iraq as he has said on two separate occasions.

He claimed in 2019 to have never discussed business dealings with his son.

He never campaigned in all 54 states (we only have 50).

He was not “sort of raised in the Puerto Rican community at home.”

He never travelled 17,000 miles with the Chinese President.

The price of gas was not over $5 per gallon when he took office.

He never pinned a Silver Star on a Navy captain.

We did not have 0% inflation last July (it was 8.5%).

He did not “[graduate] with three degrees from undergraduate school”.

No one in his ancestry has any of his family worked in the coal mines.

He did not get all American’s out of Afghanistan.

(bbcgossip.com) (foxnews.com) (thehill.com)

He is a liar, one of or maybe all of the types of liars we noted above. Not listed above are numerous times he has stretched the “Truth”. He dropped out of the 1987 campaign because he plagiarized another’s speech. He creepily showered with his daughter, hugged, stroked, smelled and kissed on young kids and other men’s wives. He has taken money from other nation governments and citizens and compromised our Nation’s security. And now we learn he has been hording at unsecured locations the highest of top-secret documents for years without proper handling, storage, or approval.

Need we go on?

When it comes to Truth and Facts, the current occupant of the White House has failed our Nation. He has weakened us as a nation within our borders, and outside our borders in our standing around the world. He and his administration are as great a threat to our FREEDOM and LIBERTY as is the Chinese Communist Party.

The “Not so Secret” Way to Establish Globalism

It is that time of year once again when those who consider themselves to be in the upper crust of societies, who claim they know best, who desire to remake our world into their image, to fly to a winter sports resort in Davos, Switzerland, to rub their very rich shoulders together to plan and scheme their way to world dominance. We blogged about the hypocrisy of those attending last year by their push to establish a “green” planet, while flying their “carbon-polluting” private jets from all over the world, then powering their way in gas-guzzling, “carbon-polluting vehicles in the two-hour drive to the resort. As the picture above states, Klaus Schwab is the founder and chairman of the World Economic Forum which was underway this last week. Read carefully the excerpt in the picture above from his book “The Great Reset”. Do you have any concern about his declarations? One should reasonably ask, “Who made this guy king of the world?” Great question. Actually no one elected or appointed him. He is filthy rich and can pretty much do whatever he wants to do because of that wealth. Rich people often attract those who want to be rich, or who want to be in the company of those who have great wealth. Unfortunately, many people associate great wealth with power, and we all know that “absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Too often the rich fall prey to their own visions of self-worth. When many of these individuals gather together, they only boost their own perceived values, continue to contrive outlandish plans to bring the world under their control, and really only prove to those of us not invited to their elite gathering that they are out-of-touch with 99% of the rest of the world. So, what is the rest of the world to do about these elites who desire to “reset” our world? We declare to you now that there is only one great obstacle preventing them from attaining their goals. That obstacle is the great United States of America, and more specifically, our Nation’s Constitution and Bill of Rights, and how most of us within our Nation treasure our FREEDOM and LIBERTY.

Why do you really think tens of thousands of people are streaming in across our southern border? Sure, it’s true that the current occupant of the White House has told the world to “surg” the border. Sure, it’s true that the current Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, has done little to stop the flow of illegal aliens crossing our southern border and has in fact directed our border agents to focus on processing those individuals rather than enforcing current laws. Sure, we have hundreds of NGOs assisting in this invasion of our Nation, working on both sides of our border. Sure, it’s true that Mexican cartels are assisting this invasion, working also on both sides of the border as they profit from drug and human trafficking. Sure, it’s true that even the United Nations is providing funding and support encouraging this invasion of our Nation. But why are these people willing to pay thousands of dollars and risk their lives to come to the U.S.? It is ONLY because they know that of all the other nations on this earth, the United States is the ONLY one where they understand that this is the greatest Nation on the face of the earth, and that is because our Founding Fathers instituted, and we have so far maintained, FREEDOM and LIBERTY as foundations that few nations throughout history have made a reality. For those elites gathered in Davos, they understand that in order to gain preeminence in Globalism, they must first undercut the foundations of our great Nation. They realize that most other nations in the world covet what we have. If the World Economic Forum elites in Davos want to achieve their goal of Globalism, they must first diminish the United States of America.

How is this to be accomplished? We will list several ways to make sure this could become a reality. We want to resist in listing the methods that can be used to diminish our Nation on the world stage, but we fear that our listed methods are not only known but are already in process. As we list them below, in no particular order, see if you can recognize any of these efforts currently underway.

Encourage and foster the destruction of the core family.

Remove God from the equation, however He is worshiped.

Flood the Nation with illegals caring not for E Pluribus Unum.

Burden citizens with debt and remove ability for financial growth.

Chip away at the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Emphasize Globalism rather than individual national exceptionalism.

Push citizen’s equity rather than individual exceptionalism and equality.

Diminish cheaper energy to de-industrialize.

Consolidate business, media, and politics, destroying competition.

Divide citizens into classes and castes.

Diminish or destroy the concept of ultimate truth.

We do not believe we need to explain how each one of the above ways are actually being applied in our Nation today. You may actually be able to add to our rather short list. The “Not so Secret” way to Establish Globalism is not so secret indeed. We believe our Nation is currently under attack by the elites who push Globalism. These people see the U.S. not as an ideal to emulate, but as an impediment to overcome. As long as we stand for FREEDOM and LIBERTY, we are a threat to the global elites. It is unfortunate that many of these people are actually citizens of our Nation . . . but that does not make them immune to the allure of power and wealth. It is incumbent upon each one of us to do our part, however small that may seem to be, to protect and maintain the foundations of our great Nation. Speak openly and freely when others espouse one or more of the items we listed above. Do not remain silent as those who follow us in life depend upon us to fight to retain our FREEDOM and LIBERTY.
