Poor Lemmings. We do believe they get a bad rap, a negative reputation. However, this behavior does lend itself as an irresistible metaphor for human behavior. Every few years these little rodents over-populate one area and some seek new turf. When they come to a waters edge, they will jump in, not to commit suicide, but since they can swim, they simply want to get to the other side and find new residence. For humans, a similar action of jumping off a cliff, represents someone who blindly follows the crowd, maybe even toward catastrophe. “Over the past century, the myth has been invoked to express modern anxieties about how individuality could be submerged and destroyed by mass phenomena, such as political movements or consumer culture.” (Encyclopedia Britannica).

We are constantly amazed as we travel around that most citizens are continuing to wear masks and practice social distancing, usually because there are few places one can go without passing through a door demanding the wearing of masks when inside. Sixteen states have no face mask mandates (ibtimes.com, March 5, 2021). “Over a third of states are ending COVD-19 mask mandates” (CBS NEWS, May 16, 2021). Even so, masks continue to be pushed upon the Nation. It is so much easier to comply, because food needs to be bought, and items need to be purchased. The mask wearer will simply think: “It is not worth the potential hassle by not being in compliance. I don’t want to get into a big discussion about not wearing a mask, or being made to feel guilty, so I’ll just put it on. My conscience will be clean.” “Anyone who can appease a man’s conscience, can take his freedom away from him.” (Xfiles, S3, EP24). A great fear has been promulgated that if you do not comply, you will be branded a part of the problem, and be considered someone to shun, reject from entering a place, expelled from the premise, or in some cases even someone needing to be arrested and hauled off in handcuffs. Most wearing masks, in humble compliance, know deep down inside that there is little if any risk of getting sick due to the virus. They do not want to admit it, because to do so would also allow the negative branding. So, they are silent in expressing their beliefs to others, as others are to them. So, with heads down, in submissive fashion, masks are donned, and they will reluctantly join the mass of Lemmings.

Here are two questions we will continue to ask. If masks really worked over a year ago, why are we still wearing masks today? “Fifteen days to flatten the curve” has become 15 months to flatten your freedom! If vaccines really work, why are we still wearing masks if you have been vaccinated? Here are two quotations that may help reorient your thinking. “Make yourselves sheep and the wolves will eat you.” (Benjamin Franklin). “Don’t follow the crowd, let the crowd follow you.” (Margaret Thatcher).

Life if filled with risk. You could get cancer or rheumatoid arthritis. You cannot totally prevent the possibility of that from happening. Diving into shallow water, or walking alone in a dark alley at night, both have higher risk levels, and both risks can be substantially reduced by simple avoidance. Each citizen individually determines the level of risk acceptable. There are now therapeutics and vaccines available if you choose to use them, and it is your right and freedom to do so. We also have a right and freedom to set masks aside or reject a vaccination and accept those potential risks. In our Nation we have freedom guaranteed to us under The Constitution, and it affords us this freedom to choose our own path. Those who are in power, or anyone who is afraid to “let freedom ring”, does not have the authority to force upon anyone the behavior of a Lemming, and to deny individual freedoms. Be like the one Lemming in the picture above, and say: “Wait a minute . . . something feels wrong!” Do not feel compelled to conform. It usually takes boldness and courage to do what is right, in the face of an opposing force. It is more difficult to swim up-stream against the current, but it is what is necessary to avoid flowing over the waterfall, with the masses, to destruction.

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.

We hate charts like this! Too small to read, and too complex. The purpose of posting this chart is to provided evidence to justify the information below. We will refer to it at the appropriate time as this blog continues. For now, just know it is there for your reference. There has been a whirlwind of media coverage recently about the source of the COVID-19 virus. It is easy to list possible options, including the natural evolution of some viruses from animals to humans. Usually, there are steps that can be traced from the initial animal source to the jumps from animals to animals to humans. This can take several years, and the links between each jump in animal species can be found. However, there is another method of the creation of a virus that infects humans. There are laboratories around the world that constantly manipulate animal viruses to make them more susceptible to human transmission. The reason for doing so is to get ahead of any potential virus in the future so humans can be better able to develop antidotes or vaccines to counter a possible future outbreak, or in our case today, a pandemic, a world-wide virus.

The problem we are experiencing today with COVID-19 is that those jumps from one animal to another, and how the virus is incrementally becoming more transmissible to humans, has not been found. It would be like saying humans evolved from apes. Assuming this to be true, we should be able to see in our world today those links between apes and humans. Unfortunately, unless you have proof of Big Foot, or The Abominable Snow Man, or Yeti, the jumps from apes to humans are not to be found. This is a mystery for evolutionists, but not for creationists. So let us consider for a moment the possible source of this virus to be some sort of creation, a manipulation of an animal virus in the lab. This process is call Gain Of Function (GOF). A lab takes an animal virus, manipulates its genetic composition, in a way only a virologist or immunologist could explain, to make it more susceptible to the human species.

Not all labs are created equal. There are 4 biosafety levels (BSL), with level 4P (Pathogen or Protection) being the highest, dealing with the most dangerous agents. We intend in this blog to show that COVID-19 was not a naturally occurring virus, but was created in a lab using GOF, and we intend to show who the culprits are in helping to create this virus that has now killed nearly 4 million people around the world, and set economies and livelihoods into a spiral, leaving this Nation susceptible to the infiltration of Marxist and socialist ideologies that are attempting to dilute and subvert our Constitutional freedoms and rights. There are many players and entities involved in this effort and scheme.

SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) is a viral respiratory disease of zoonotic (animal to human) origin. The first identified strain of SARS caused the 2002-2004 outbreak and was traced to originate in China. This was a relatively rare disease, and at the end of 2003 showed just over 8,000 cases with a fatality rate of about 10% (About CDC 24-7). The current SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) strain can be traced to the horseshoe bat in the Xiyang Yi Ethinic Township, Yunnan, about 900 miles from where the the outbreak was first claimed to originate, not within the flying range of that bat. Dr. Shi Zhengli (known as the “Bat Lady”), brought these bats to the Wuhan Institute of Virology for study. Bats can carry 100 different types of viruses, some say upwards of 3200, and considering there are around 1400 different bat species, there is a lot of source material for study. There are several laboratories, and one university, in Wuhan capable of studying viruses. These bats were used to alter genetic sequencing to make the virus they carry more lethal to the human respiratory system. Some of these labs are 4P, but some have said they operate at a 2P level, similar to a dentist’s office. What is known for sure, is that 3 lab workers in Wuhan came down with COVID-19-like symptoms in late 2019, and were hospitalized. What we also suspect is ” . . . there was no cellphone activity in a high-security portion of the Wuhan Institute of Virology from Oct. 7 through Oct. 24, 2019, and that there may have been a “hazardous event” sometime between Oct. 6 and Oct 11″ (London-based NBC News Verification Unit). Here are a few things we know instinctively. Nothing happens in China without the knowledge of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party), and the PLA (Peoples Liberation Army), the armed wing of the CCP. The PLA has their hand in the development of anything that can be considered a weapon. Even American companies are forced to reveal Intellectual Property to the CCP in order to conduct any form of enterprise within China. We also know that an investigation into the source of the virus was delayed about one year, and that many of the scientists and lab technicians working in the laboratories in Wuhan are unavailable, and the why and where they are is unknown. We also know that for weeks, if not months, after this virus got out into the local community, China prevented much of the travel within China, but allowed travel to continue from China to other parts of the world. We cannot speculate on whether the virus was released as a bio-weapon, or was leaked due to incompetency, but we can say for certain that the CCP acted in a nefarious way once the virus was out of containment. We have to wonder why this GOF research is allowed to exist, and of all places to allow it to happen in China, where it is public knowledge that the goal of China is to be the preeminent world leader and power? Now comes the really disappointing part, why has our tax dollars been going to China to support this type of research?

The NIH (National Institute of Health), directed by Dr. Francis Collins, has 27 Institutes and Centers under its control. One of those is the NIAID (National Institute of Allergy and Infections Diseases), headed by Dr. Anthony Fauci. Another player in this line of chicanery is The EcoHealth Alliance, a NGO (Non-Government Organization) headed by Peter Daszak, whose aim is to prevent emerging infections diseases. This organization seems to concentrate on the study of bats, in fact, one of their conferences sent out invitations in the shape of a bat. When getting to the truth, one always needs to “follow the money”, “For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil” (I Timothy 6:10, NASB). The chart above shows the trail of money given by the NIAID to EcoHealth Alliance, totaling about 3.7 million dollars. Peter Daszak has then funded work at the Wuhan lab for the purpose of GOF research. He is even on video claiming how easy it is to manipulation these viruses. Citizens of our Nation must demand answers and accountability for what has, and is, occurring because of this pandemic in our Nation and in nations around the world. How is it that a group not elected or appointed by the citizens of our Nation, is given our tax dollars and allowed to fund and run dangerous experiments, seemingly at will. Certain entities, organizations, and in fact our current government, have been preoccupied with “what if we could” scenarios, without spending the time to think about “what if we should”. The trail of how this has been allowed to happen continues.

In 2012, concerning the manipulation of viruses (GOF), Dr. Fauci wrote: “The benefits of such experiments, and the resulting knowledge, outweighs the risks.”(Sharri Markson, theaustralian.com). In October 2014 the Obama administration’s NSC (National Security Council) decreed there should be no GOF research. It was too dangerous as lab leaks and incidents were occurring. In fact, the Biological Weapons Convention explicitly made this type of study and development illegal. Obviously the NIH thought these experiments were too risky as it ” . . . abruptly cuts coronavirus research funding . . . “ (Beth Mole, May 1, 2020, Science and Exploration). Of the 3.7 million dollars granted to EcoHealth Alliance, nearly $600,000 went to the Bat Lady and the Wuhan Institute of Virology. After the ban in 2014, the only exception for continuing this experimental process, was through a clause that it was needed to protect the public health or for a national emergency, and at that time neither case could legitimately be argued, but the loophole existed. In December of 2017, Dr. Collins and Dr. Fauci quietly put a plan into motion to reactivate the GOF funding. No senior official in the administration at that time was advised. In January 2017, Dr. Fauci said: “There is no question that there will be a challenge to the coming administration in the arena of infections diseases, both chronic infectious diseases in the sense of already on-going disease, and we have certainly a large burden of that, but also there will be a surprise outbreak”. According to Dr. Richard Ebright (a world leader in genomics, Rutgers University), a 2019 proposal for GOF research required a risk benefit review, but the GOF research was funded without such review, and the NIH has still not responded to the questions as to why this was allowed to happen. When the WHO (World Health Organization) did an investigation into the source and causes of COVID-19, Peter Daszak was the only representative from the U. S. to be included in the inspection. Naturally, he said the lab was not the source of the pandemic. But isn’t that a lot like the wolf going into the chicken house and coming out saying “there aren’t any chickens in here”?

Isn’t it ironic that the man, Dr. Fauci, sharing responsibility for the emergence of COVID-19, is now the one we are asked to trust to lead us out of this pandemic. “The U. S. should release its intelligence about the Wuhan laboratory” (Washington Post, Feb. 22, 2021). “The WHO needs to start over in investigating the origins of the coronavirus” (Washington Post, Mar. 6, 2021). The proverbial Pandora’s Box was opened, and we need to find out who is responsible in all levels of our government, and hold the CCP responsible. How about a Congressional investigation into this Nation’s involvement with this pandemic, and all associated participants? There are many more in powerful positions who need to be investigated, some elected, some appointed, and some just suckling the milk of dollars off our bloated National government, a government too busy to monitor or even care about how your money, leached from you by taxation, is used.

We have talked about the problems with trite sayings in a previous blog. There is a danger trying to fit the exact intent of speech into the confines of the English language. In this blog, our only desire is to flip one of those sayings to make it apply to something entirely different. Our point in doing so is to simply show that “what’s good for the goose, is good for the gander”. In other words, what one thinks may only apply to one thing, can also apply to other things as well. The feminist slogan above is most often used in promoting abortion rights, claiming to defend the right of self-determination. Feminists may say we are coopting this slogan. They claim that choosing to abort a viable fetus does not impact your neighbor, store clerk, or transportation driver to a possible virus. They claim one’s freedom to choose not to wear a mask or get the COVID-19 vaccine, makes one’s body a weapon that can kill others by spreading this virus. In reality, this disease is not that fatal, many do not even know they have had it, and the vast majority who had it have fully recovered.

The tragic irony is that feminists assume the abortion of a baby in gestation is not killing a body. “In total, 862,320 abortions took place in 2017 at health care facilities” (Ariana Eunjung Cha, Sept. 2019, The Washington Post). “There have been 60 million abortions since Roe V. Wade” (checkyourfact.com, 2018). Abortion is most certainly killing your future neighbor, store clerk, or transportation driver. In essence, it is okay to trust someone to kill a baby, but it is not okay to let someone walk out of their house without a mask on or having had the COVID-19 vaccine. In an abortion, your are not dealing with the potential of having an abortion. It is guaranteed that is what will happen, a life will be snuffed out. Going mask free, or not having had a COVID-19 vaccine, has little to no potential of causing death to anyone.

We believe that to wear or to not wear a mask, is an individual right of choice. We will not condemn or belittle either choice, That is what freedom in this Nation really looks like . . . . having the right and the freedom to choose. In our Nation, one can choose to be poor, live paycheck to paycheck, and complain about it, or one can choose to take personal action to improve one’s state of existence. That is what it means in The Declaration of Independence that we have the right and freedom “. . . to pursue happiness”. It is not a guarantee of happiness, it only guarantees the right and freedom to pursue it. We are all equal having the same guarantee to pursue. We are not guaranteed equitable outcomes.

We believe it is a citizen’s right, the guaranteed freedom under our Constitution, to submit to an EUA (Emergency Use Authorization, not unequivocally approved by the Federal Drug Administration) and receive a COVID-19 injection. Likewise, it is also one’s guaranteed right and freedom under our Nation’s Constitution to not get the injection. Conformists to the doctrine that the unvaccinated takes away the personal freedom of others, to not be exposed to the virus, restricts the personal freedom of the contrary belief. This doctrine requiring vaccination is pushed by big pharma, the woke media, monopolistic entities, and the current administration. We contend that the denial of one’s right to shop or attend whatever venue you choose, if not vaccinated or masked, is in contradiction and in violation of our Constitutions guaranteed freedoms. For those who are so fearful of COVID-19, and want to protect themselves from this virus, they have the guaranteed right and freedom to wear a mask, get vaccinated, or wear a bio-hazard suit. They can also choose where they want to go and what they want to do, using their own personal risk assessment. The gate of freedom swings both ways! One group of citizens does not have the right to restrict the rights and freedoms of another group because of the former group’s personal fears. In our Nation, we have the freedom and right to drive a vehicle in accordance with local and federal laws. When we drive our vehicle, we have the right to accept the risk of being inadvertently involved in an accident. Many die each day in our Nation due to this unfortunate circumstance, yet we continue to take the risk and drive. If we are fearful of this risk, we can stay home, ride a bike, or walk, but we all must understand that nothing we do in life is ever void of risk.

We need to reject being told “You need to show proof of vaccination, or wear a mask” in this store or at this venue. This is a form of economic racism. It is too similar to what happened years ago in fascist Germany when it was common place to be told to “show me your papers”, and we know where all of that ended up. If you are confronted with this mantra, shop somewhere else until the woke minority figures out that the “prove-your-compliant by wearing a mask if not vaccinated” is shown to be scientifically irrelevant, and is defeated.

There always seems to be a gap between an advancement and deployment of something new, and the planning that needs to take place prior to implementation, namely concerning the long-term impacts, including the ethics and morality, of such an advancement. This is like going to war without knowing what the end game looks like, and having an exit strategy. A sudden advance, followed by an immediate retreat, can cause the inevitable effect of WHIPLASH.

We have heard the term, “shooting from the hip”. That refers to pulling your six-shooter out of the holster around your hips, and then firing from that location. Not a very good way to be accurate. It would always be better to raise your weapon to shoulder level, focus on the target by using your line-of-sight, and only then discharging your weapon. Taking your time, aiming appropriately, always leads to a greater degree of accuracy. So it is with anything one does in life. Clearly recognizing the goal to be achieved, and taking proper aim, considering all intervening factors, always will produce better results. There will be less wasted efforts or materials, and a much less chance of negatively impacting surrounding entities. To not do so leads one open to unintended consequences, causing a backlash or rebound, a WHIPLASH effect.

We hope that a majority of people have never experienced WHIPLASH to your physical body. It usually happens when moving forward in a car at moderate speeds, and then coming to an abrupt halt. Seat belts keep your body from flying forward, but nothing but the advancement of airbags, and subsequent deployment, will prevent your head from being catapulted forward. The rebound from that forward position, although somewhat impeded by the advancement of headrests, causes the WHIPLASH effect. This causes damage to your neck and spine, and can usually be identified by those having been the recipient of such an event, by the person wearing a balky neck brace, holding the head erect, preventing movement so the body, and associated treatments, can produce the desired healing over time.

In this blog, we are not talking about a WHIPLASH affecting your physical body, but a form that impacts the emotional and phycological well being of any individual. In our current climate of COVID-19 hysteria, there has been ample opportunity for those in positions of authority to wield their power, often in ways reminiscent of “shooting from the hip”. It must be stated though that this has not always been entirely their fault. There is always a bigger fish in the ocean that exercises its will over the smaller fish. In our case, the current government, often using undefined or flawed scientific evidence, has dictated, to those easily influenced, policies or procedures not well conceived, or even purposely designed to bring about effects suited to produce a desired course, completely unrelated to the crisis at hand. Those in power at any level consequently make decisions, seemingly at random, apart from reasoned thought or scientific proof, that leaves those impacted stuck in a never ending surf of tide-in, tide-out, wave-in, undertow-out. It is difficult to make sense of this form of WHIPLASH. It keeps one off balance, being easily manipulated, relying to a great degree, and even becoming completely dependent upon a tyrannical government. It ultimately engenders confusion, frustration, and distrust. This is not the form of freedom guaranteed to any of us in our Constitution.

It is time for us to regain control of our freedoms, and not be controlled by the WHIPLASH effect of those who claim the superior knowledge, or who make changes they claim are needed to cement their will over the people. We need to be unified in our efforts to identify our target, to be deliberate in our aim, and to achieve our desired outcome.

“What is truth?” “Quid est veritas?” (Latin) John 18:38. This was a statement made by Pontius Pilate before going out to the waiting mob, washing his hands of the problem with Jesus, then turning him over to be flogged and then crucified. Truth means many different things, to many different people, for many different reasons. TRUTH always seems to be somewhat subjective. Do we seek a religious, spiritual, or moral truth, or do we seek a social, worldly, myopic truth? One thing is for certain, your truth may be defined by me as a delusion, or my truth may be defined by you as a conspiracy. We have to dig down into what are our basic beliefs in this world. Do I consider myself preeminent in my thought processes, rationale, and actions, or do I believe there is a higher order established which creates a form within which to function. We believe there is a wide gulf between those who are dogmatically religious, and those who are atheistic, believing we evolved from some lower form of organic material. Between these two extremes is a broad continuum where the vast majority of all people reside. Some may lean more toward a higher power in control, setting a moral basis for conduct and action, while others lean the opposite direction believing there might have been some order at some time, but we have evolved beyond the dependence upon such theologism, trending more toward the appliance of philosophy and science to direct our paths. If we were to ask both sides to define “TRUTH”, we would get different answers based upon where each of them would lay on this continuum line.

“A mind is a terrible thing to waste”, (slogan used by the UNCF since 1972). We could not be more in agreement. It would seem, however, that a large portion of our society feels there is only a certain level to which expansion through learning should take place, for to go beyond that would subject the learner to irrefutable facts which could shake core beliefs. There is an experiment that often teaches us to think beyond initial appearances. In this experiment, a glass jar is filled to the top with some larger rocks, and the viewer is asked if the jar is full. Since one more larger rock cannot be put in, the answer is “Yes, it is full”. Then the demonstrator pours in BBs, those little balls used in BB guns. Those little balls take up all the spaces between the bigger rocks, and now not a single BB can be added. The question is now “Is the jar full? The answer has to be “Yes, it is full”. Then the demonstrator pours in sand, which soon fills in all the gaps between the BBs. Absolutely no more sand can now be added. The questions is asked again, “Is the jar full?” The answer again is, “Yes, it is full.” Finally, the demonstrator pours in water, which is then absorbed by the sand. The result of the experiment is that more can be added than you originally thought. So it is with the human mind. We just need to be willing to open it up to other possibilities, and not limit ourselves to our preconceived notions.

So, being open to new ideas or facts can influence our minds, our beliefs, and potentially put us on a different path than the one we walked before. This is one of the ways we can come to a better understanding of reality. However, there is a form of disease that can eat away at this mind of ours, causing it to lose focus, becoming more ingrained in the pre-established core beliefs. It prevents knowledge growth, and even begins to calcify that which has already been established. It becomes hardened to new concepts, knowledge, and even real truths, even though they may be irrefutable. There is that saying, “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks”, which gives justification for one simply giving up and accepting what currently exists. We know this to not be true, but it is often used to explain why we may be hesitant, or even militant, when it comes to thinking in different ways, or learning something foreign to us. It becomes something that is just an excuse for us to remain as we are, stuck in the mud in the rut we may have been in for a very long time. It requires effort and sustainability to conquer this urge, but unfortunately many choose to reside in this state of cryogenic sleep. This state is often supported by the constant barrage of input that only re-enforces this original mindset, causing the the mind to be even more recalcitrant. Those in this condition often only surround themselves with like-minded people, or only listen to those things that feed upon this limited narrative. TRUTH then becomes only that which we allow it to hear or believe, unable to even comprehend there is more to be known.

There is another form of this “TRUTH DECAY” that is caused by those who actually have a better grasp on the real TRUTH. How is it possible for one who is so enlightened, to actually be a part of the problem? We will refer to it as “The Ostrich Syndrome.” We do not mean to disparage the ostrich, because this is just a myth anyway. The saying probably comes from the illusion one gets when the ostrich is standing in it’s large, deep, sandy nest, turning their eggs over with their beaks, giving that appearance when one observes from a distance. This phrase though suits the purpose of this part of the blog. It is so much easier to pretend all is well, to not get involved, to not even attempt to share with others that which you know to be the TRUTH, so we just “bury our heads in the sand.” In reality, one needs to understand that the ostrich is a very fast bird, running as fast as 40 mph, not to mention it is large, up to 7 feet tall, and is strong and can leave a terrible impression with either it’s beak or strong legs. Why would a creature like this even fear an attack, sticking it’s head in the sand and promptly suffocating itself. Unfortunately, there is a large portion of our society that would prefer to hide, rather than use the talents bestowed upon each one of us, each one having unique abilities. When used in concert, these abilities and opportunities can become a powerful force to share the TRUTH.

In the current age of censorship, there is light only being shown on one side of the room. The other side of the room is in darkness and cannot be seen by all. There is a fear in the major media outlets, who also are in league with the current administration, that should light be shown equally in the room, facts and truth will be shown discrediting them, and spoiling their desire to shape society to their will. In this blog, we simply want to ask a few questions, in no particular order, that remain UNANSWERED QUESTIONS. We contend that if answers to these questions would be revealed, the true motives of the current government, most media outlets, and sympathetic businesses and institutions, would be revealed, and the current course of events attempting to reshape our Nation, and even The Constitution, would be thwarted. The list below is not comprehensive. It is up to each reader to seek answers, and to not rest until they are found!

^ If masks really worked a year ago, why do we still need masks today? ^ What is Dr. Fauci’s involvement with the NIH and the NIAID, and his role in the funding of EcoHealth Alliance (a NGO, Non-Governmental Organization) and the amount of taxpayer money routed to the Wuhan Institute of Virology for GOF (Gain Of Function) research? ^ Is Dr. Fauci the highest paid governmental employee, and how much does he make each year? ^ How much money from the government does each hospital or care facility get for registering or claiming a COVID-19 patient? ^ Why did our government and social media claim Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick died on January 6, 2021 of a blow to the head from a fire extinguisher, when in fact he died the next day of normal causes? Why are we not being told the individual’s name (and being allowed to explore his social and political history) who shot and killed the unarmed veteran, Ashli Babbitt, on the Capitol grounds on January 6, 2021? ^ How many people died with COVID-19 as opposed to those who died because of COVID-19? ^ How many people died of the flu in the last year? ^ Why is our government allowing large institutions or businesses to block or terminate certain citizen’s rights to free speech? ^ How many people died of COVID-19, or complications due to COVID-19, after receiving the injection? ^ Why are certain states still refusing to fully open up and go mask free, including schools, when states that have done so for months now show no perceptible difference in death rates due to COVID-19? ^ Why is there no established therapeutic protocol to treat people with COVID-19 before being put into a hospital or care facility? ^ Why is the government and certain institutions allowing racism to divide our Nation? ^ Why is there so much resistance to transparency in our elections? ^ Why did many states not follow The Constitution when it came to voting, allowing procedures, not set forth in law by these state’s legislatures, to be carried out? ^ Why is black-on-black crime not being publicized as much as white-on-black crime, when the former occurs multiple times more often? ^ Why is the government still handing out unemployment money to states that are fully open? ^ Why are our young children being forced into COVID-19 protocols when we know they have extremely limited risk? ^ Why are a majority of our drugs, or ingredients for them, being made overseas, especially in China? ^ Why has our current President not been given a standard cognitive test, with the results released to the public, when it is clear he is compromised? ^ Why has Hunter Biden not been prosecuted for lying on the ATF Form 4473, for obtaining a gun, when by his own admission, and visual and audio evidence, clearly indicates he is a drug user, when he claimed on the form he did not use illicit drugs? ^ Why is the transaction of money, or its equivalent, not being investigated between the Biden family and China, Ukraine, and other countries, when there is a clear risk of compromise? ^ Why are our politicians allowed to receive funding from companies or institutions that have ties to China? ^ How is it that our HIPPA regulations are being disregarded by citizens having to prove having received a COVID-19 vaccine before air travel, or entrance into certain stores or events? ^ When will the government ever tell us what number is required to achieve “herd immunity”? ^ Why will the government not include in the calculations for “herd immunity”, those who have already had COVID-19 and recovered, now having the same antibodies for immunity? ^ Why are you able to shop at a big box store or grocery store, and be within a foot or two of another in an aisle, but churches are not considered essential activities? ^ Why is our government not concerned with the human trafficking crossing our southern border, where as many as 30% of the women and girls are sexually abused just getting to the border, and where exorbitant sums of money must be paid to cartels before crossing, and those crossing are also being subscripted to do the cartels bidding once in the United States, paying them even more? ^ Why were voting machines used in many states not under the full control of each state or county, but were in fact under the direct control of machine and software owners, and why can’t we review both to insure a fair and accurate election? ^ Why was the construction of the Keystone pipeline halted, laying off 11,000 people in high paying jobs, when this will also create more pollution having to use trucks and trains to carry the same oil, which is counter productive to environmental concerns? ^ What is a “presumed” COVID-19 case, included in the COVID-19 totals, and who determines that based on what evidence or criteria? ^ Why does a certain political party only say “all voting” must be counted, rather than “all legal voting” must be counted, and what are they actually trying to do by leaving out the word “legal”?

We are sure you can add more questions to this list, but this will just get your thought process going, knowing that we are in the dark on many important issues. There are those in government, many media outlets, or in sympathetic institutions or businesses, who believe we are stupid and don’t need or deserve the truths, when in fact they know that if we knew actual truths, their house of cards would quickly fall. It is time to make your preparations to reclaim our Constitutional freedoms by ALL GOING MASK FREE IF POSSIBLE, AND FOR ALL BUSINESSES AND INSTITUTIONS TO FULLY OPEN UP BEGINING JULY 4, 2021.

What is PATRIOTISM? Are you a PATRIOT? These two questions would seem simple to answer, but in reality, they are not. Why is that? We believe there is a huge disconnect in our Nation today between the knowledge of what these words mean, and the feelings many of our citizens have when confronted with these words. It is not the intent of this blog to answer all questions about these two words, as it would be impossible to do so. Many books, letters, and articles have focused on these two words, and still there are no best definitions that can apply adequately enough to cover every potential interpretation, or that would cover every citizen, each having their own beliefs about these words. What we will endeavor to do in this blog is to focus on the need for a basic understanding so that together, as ONE NATION, we can be more UNIFIED and less DIVIDED, and in the process, hopefully increase our PATRIOTISM.

If you had the choice to live anywhere in the world, where would that be? If you have picked a place, have you thought about the conditions you might live under, the language you would have to speak, what is the monetary, social, or political system like there? Have you even been there to experience life for several months, or even a year or two? It has been said, “The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.” It is difficult to trace the origin of this comment, one being a U.S. newspaper The Kansas Farmer in 1917, but this proverb also existed in Japan. Its origins could even date back to Ovid (43 BC – 17 or 18 AD) in his poem, “Art of Love”, where he wrote, “The harvest is always richer in another man’s field.” It has often been our experience that when one crosses the fence into the other field, when looking back across the fence, where you came from doesn’t look so bad after all. Currently, we have a flood of people, from dozens of different nations, pouring through our southern border seeking a new life in our Nation. It is estimated the number crossing our border could be two million just this year alone. If it is so bad here, why are these people paying exorbitant amounts of money, and risking their very lives in the arduous trip just to get here? They must know things in other countries around the world that we don’t know, or that we don’t choose to be knowledgeable about. The “grass” over there may not be so “green” after all.

We believe that having an awareness of what the surrounding world looks like is vital in determining the level of one’s PATRIOTISM, at least in reference to our Nation. In relationship to current National events, do you think we have it bad now? Only fifty-seven of the 102 immigrants aboard the Mayflower survived the first winter of 1620-1621. An estimated 25,000 died in the Revolutionary War, two-thirds dying from disease. Were these two groups of people PATRIOTS? Although no one knows for certain, it is estimated around 360,000 white men died in the Union cause to free the blacks in the Civil War, along with about 40,000 blacks. Did they show PATRIOTISM? We have grown soft in the last couple of decades, not realizing the cost of FREEDOM we enjoy in our Nation today. We complain about our car not always working perfectly, or the neighbors on our street playing their music too loud, or we bemoan not being able to purchase that one item we really don’t need, but only want. We should all be ashamed! We believe that knowing where we came from (history), and recognizing where we are today, is vital in determining one’s PATRIOTISM. So what does it take to be a PATRIOT today, or to have PATRIOTISM?

It certainly takes an awareness of history, and the world around us, in order to appreciate what it means to be a PATRIOT. There are those within our Nation who feel we are a failed Nation. A serious look at our history, compared to the world around us, would quickly put this belief to rest. Some would say, why not the Egyptian nation of old, because they were rich and built pyramids. They also had an aristocracy and used slave labor. Well, what about the Roman Empire? Yes they built great roads and expanded their empire far and wide, but they also killed Christians in coliseums and on crosses or stakes. What about the several thousand years China has existed? They have certainly become more powerful. They also use Uighur Muslims in camps to provide cheap labor, and even harvest their organs for sale. Knowing that our Nation is continuing to refine under The Constitution, it has to be argued that “we shall be as a city upon a hill” (John Winthrop, 1630; Ronald Reagan, 1970’s). We believe there is much to be proud of about our Nation, to lead us to become better PATRIOTS. We believe PATRIOTISM is alive in our Nation, but for many it is not well.

So getting back to the question, what can motivate us to be more PATRIOTIC, we believe there are qualities within each of us that need to be planted, then tended, which will eventually produce a greater harvest of PATRIOTISM. Each one of us must do a deep dive into our own personal character, and there are virtues that need to be cultivated. There are at least, by one accounting, 73 different virtues. We will not list them all here, that is for each reader to pursue, but it is a place to start to better refine PATRIOTISM in our own lives. We would also argue that without morality, some are like a ship without a rudder, completely under the control of exterior forces where the currents, winds, and waves of other entities prevail. One of the 73 virtues referenced above is courage. “Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities . . .because it is the quality which guarantees all others.” (Winston Churchill). Many of those virtues, referred to above, require action, and elicit boldness. WE WANT ALL CITIZENS TO GROW IN PATRIOTISM, TO BECOME MORE PATRIOTIC. WE WANT ALL CITIZENS TO KNOW THAT OUR CONSTITUTION IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR, BECAUSE IT IS THE SOURCE OF OUR FREEDOMS. IT IS TIME TO HAVE COURAGE AND RECLAIM OUR FREEDOMS BY ALL GOING MASK FREE IF POSSIBLE, AND FOR ALL BUSINESSES AND INSTITUTIONS TO FULLY OPEN UP BEGINING JULY 4, 2021.

Please, do not patronize us with slogans. We have become a Nation of trite sayings, rather than deep, reasoned discourse. Let’s break down the heading of this blog and ask a few questions. Who is “WE”? Are those citizens you associate with, ones who think like you do, or does this word cover certain ethnicities, genders, or certain social or demographical groups? How about the word “ARE”? Does this refer to those who now exist in the present, or does it refer to what is to occur at some point? Does it demand a stable position, waiting, continuing, or persisting in the present condition? Most of us know what the word “ALL” means, but what about in this context? What if just one person is not in step with everyone else? Could this person possibly be the one link in the chain that causes the whole chain to fail? Look at the word “IN”. Define this word for us. How much “in” is required? Are we “in” the boat when one leg is slung over the side, or must every part of our body be on board? What if a finger hangs over the edge? Okay, let’s tackle the word “THIS”. “This” what? This event, this mindset, this world, this ideology, or is it better to just leave that to be determined later as we move the goal posts to wherever we need them to be moved? Finally, the word “TOGETHER”. How “together” must we be? We can absolutely guaranty that no two individuals will ever agree 100% on everything. Have those two people define in detail the shade of any color, or how the breeze feels, or what they may be thinking exactly at any random time? The English language is so incomplete when conveying exact meanings. There are around 1 million words in the English language, although that could be off by as much as 25%. On the other hand, maybe the richest language of all would be the Greek language, which contains around 5 million words, but also about 70 million word types. So simple trite sayings in the English language can mean many different things to many different people. It is more precise to say that “WE ARE NOT ALL IN THIS TOGETHER”.

Let’s take a moment now to not be so detailed in our deconstruction of this phrase. Let’s take a more broad-brushed stroke at this phrase to see how it applies to the wide variety of citizens within our Nation. The results of the COVID-19 virus was not felt equally by all citizens. Most are aware of the forced lockdowns in many of our States, and of the disastrous impact it had on many citizens, businesses, organizations and institutions. Many citizens were laid off, many even lost their jobs. Many businesses were forced to close, and some had to set aside their business because of the draconian restrictions and fear that was induced by those having ulterior motives. Many lost their lives, not just because of the virus, but because of the resulting confluence of manipulated events. Most of these people and businesses mentioned above were in the lower rungs of our social and economic ladder within our Nation. It did not matter what color, creed, or gender, all were impacted in negative ways. On the flip side, there were a few, certainly less than the many mentioned above, who were essentially untouched by the impact of the virus and resulting dictates. We will not mention specific names, businesses, or organizations, because to do so would subject this website to personal attacks or even censure. We all know who we are talking about. They are the big, monopolistic businesses and corporations, and those who serve in their top echelons. They are those who continued to have jobs, whether they were in the government or media. They were those who could afford to isolate themselves from the tyrannical practices of the few in powerful positions. Not only did these institutions and people avoid devastation, but on the contrary, most proliferated their wealth and power. We cannot begin to tell you how angry we get when we hear those who wield the major voice outlets in the media or government tell us “WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER”, for any reasoned person can deduce that this is not the case.

When looking at the picture above, this is a more appropriate way to look at the impact of the virus upon our Nation. Yes, it is true, “WE ARE ALL IN THE SAME STORM”, but “WE ARE NOT ALL IN THE SAME BOAT”. So please, do not patronize us with these trite phrases, trying to make it seem that we are all in the same boat, that we are all being impacted equally. The phrase is just one way of trying to influence all our Nation’s citizens to feel as though we share in the tragedy being played out before us. It is the purpose of those in power to attempt to use words to make us believe their propaganda. It is a form of brainwashing, an attempt to mold us into the image they have for their idea of a reformed government, making us believe they know what is best for us, and that we all need to get on board with whatever program or ideology their are promulgating. Our freedoms do not derive from these people, these elites, the tyrannical governmental agencies, the “woke” minority. Our freedoms come from The Constitution of the United States of America. It is time for us to prepare to take back these freedoms from our oppressors. WE ARE ASKING ALL TO GO MASK FREE IF POSSIBLE, AND FOR ALL BUSINESSES AND INSTITUTIONS TO FULLY OPEN UP BEGINING JULY 4, 2021.

Transnationalism. Globalism. Universalism. Scientism. Transhumanism. Communism. Socialism. Predicate. Exculpatory. Disintermediation, Memes. Stove piping. Intersectionality. Orwellian. Emoluments. Gaslighting. Shadow banning. Doxing. Projection. Throwing shade. Star Chambers. Transphobia. Xenophobia. Mansplaining. WOKEISM. We are fairly confident that the majority of citizens within our Nation have no clear understanding of most of these words as they proliferate and morph into new meanings. Some of these new meanings are insidious attempts to re-define our society and can lead to a weakening of our freedoms guaranteed to us by The Constitution of the United States of American.

Today, we just want to concentrate on the word WOKE. Generically speaking, it is simply a term referring to an awareness of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (Merriam-Webster dictionary). The origin of the term has its roots in Old English, Germanic, and Dutch, meaning to remain awake or hold a vigil. In African American terms, it became in circulation in the 1800s simply meaning the state of not being asleep. The term started emerging in Black English at least by the 1940’s (dictionary.com). A black United Mine Workers official reportedly was quoted saying “Waking up is a damn sight better than going to sleep, but we’ll stay woke up longer.” (Atlantic article from 1943.) In the 1960s, WOKE was being used in the context of political awareness, especially when referring to the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1960s. In 2008, Erykah Badu’s song, Master Teach, features the line “I stay woke (dreams dreams)”. The term most recently has gone through a complete metamorphosis and been used by the Black Lives Matter movement calling for an awareness of social and racial injustices. WOKEISM has become a Marxist process where social humiliation and violence is being used to alter norms, redefine words, and even destroy objective science to create a new Utopian order. This process is establishing a new form of racism, one aimed at those who refuse to walk in step. It is a form of virus infecting the minds of its followers. WOKE was officially added to the Oxford English Dictionary in June of 2017. Obviously, like many of the words listed above, there is much more to the history of this word. Unfortunately, WOKE has now become weaponized on both sides of the political aisle. Those on the left claim the true awareness of social and racial issues by being WOKE, while those on the right use the label WOKE to identify those they believe are fixated on issues that tend to separate rather than unite citizens, aiming to redefine the founding principals of our Nation. Where do we go from here?

Regardless of which side of any issue you fall on, it is important to remain open to an ever expanding knowledge base. We have always affirmed that no one can ever guaranty certainty about anything. Unless you possess the proverbial crystal ball, and can view into the future, no one has the insight, ability, or wisdom to make unequivocal statements. There is always room for more learning, more knowledge, being then better able to make a wiser, more reasoned opinion about anything. Even then, one must be careful to not make definitive statements or pronouncements, for as sure as the sun rises in the east, other facts and insights will certainly follow. Leaps to rash, spontaneous judgements leave a person susceptible to having held weak and irrational points of view or opinions, and can hamper one’s credibility. It is only human nature to make initial judgements based on first-blush analysis of anything, but it is incumbent upon everyone to remain open to learning more, and remaining open to reevaluating the initial judgement to refine or even completely change it.

There is one fact that escapes our understanding. Why can we not get along with each other in our Nation? Do you realize that if you claim to be an American, WOKE or not WOKE, there are those in many parts of the world who would not think twice about seeing an end to your life in the most horrible ways imaginable? Yet we often want to treat them better than we treat those who share with us many common bonds, like our freedoms, our Constitution, the name of American. We believe there is a lot to the phrase “familiarity breeds contempt”. Sometimes we treat people on the street better than we treat those who are closest to us, like our spouse, an extended family member, or close personal friend. The more we know about someone, the more there is to like, but also the more there is to dislike, and unfortunately we too often fail to focus on the likes in favor of the dislikes. It has a lot to do with one negative often outweighing several positives. Kind of like one bad apple will spoil the whole barrel. This is just a good reminder to be careful about what we say to one another. We do not want to encourage false complements, but surely there is something that can be truthfully said that is of a positive nature, we just need to think twice before we speak. The dark veil of denialism needs to be removed from those who are ensconced within it, to be able to perceive the greater truths. A clarion call must be made to one’s inner self, calling forth the better nature, the moral center, that which realizes that all are created equal and deserve the same level of respect, for we are all human beings, not one being any better than another.

There is one reality that cannot be escaped. Without freedom, it matters not what level of WOKENESS you may have in whatever topic. Freedoms are being denied by governmental agencies, in concert with sympathizing institutions, pursuing personal agendas, rather than the will of a majority of our Nation’s citizens.
