What DO We Stand For As A Nation?

Without condoning acts of violence, the patriot of the assassination attempt on Trump…was the young man behind the gun…

Before becoming judgmental…consider the following…

If the laws in this country worked as they should, Trump would have never been on that podium in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania delivering a speech for re-election for the President of the United States. He would have been stripped of the ability to ever run for public office again…

Had the people so elected to serve the people had done their service to the country and its people, and the Constitution…Trump would have been unanimously impeached from office by Republicans and Democrats alike, when charges for his crimes against the country in abuse of power and obstruction of Congress where made evident, and witnessed by our citizens and the world…

What happened to the integrity of the Republican party that voted to impeach President Nixon?

Cowardice prevailed…

Saturday, July 13, 2024…Two people dead…two people critically injured.

Senseless…

If blame is to be cast upon anyone or anything, look to those who subverted the laws to advance criminal acts into the office of the President, and into our society as “just and righteous”…

America has become so opinionated and divided because principles…morals and values that preach and teach the true connectivity of our humanity…and how to preserve it through the continuity of living and appreciating life…respecting principles, morals and values appears to be no more.

What happened in Bethel Park, PA, is a continued narrative as well as a dismal and sad commentary on what this Nation is really all about…

There is no “Greatness.” Or bringing back “Greatness”…Greatness never was…

The dark history that formulated this country…is far, far from “great” or “greatness.”

As long as “White Supremacy” is a goal…

As long as Racism reigns supreme…

As long as hatred is cultivated…

As long as the working class is robbed by the rich and forced into poverty…

As long as the poor are ridiculed…persecuted and ignored…

As long as progress is stifled…derailed and destroyed by archaic ideas and practices…

As long as displaced loyalties in the governmental structures that run this country continue with impunity…

As long as there is no solid, functioning government that is clearly for the people…instead of dysfunctional bodies of government stalling progress and avoiding change…

As long as there is a self-proclaimed Elite who continue to flourish and prosper at the expense of the American people, while desecrating the Nation…

“Greatness” is eons away from becoming the ideal of this country….

It has become a beleaguered nation run by a covenant of cowards…masquerading as politicians, pushing manifesto politics while fueling their agendas by feeding on the hopes, dreams and fears of citizens…who really just want to secure a piece of the “American Dream” which has descended into the “American Nightmare.”

Trump and every politician who pushes anything other than Unity…Progress…Change…Equality…Diversity…Country First…A Unified America…Freedom…Democracy…Justice for All…Civil Rights…is not fit for politics or to hold any type of political office or affiliate that professes to support the “will of the people” with undeniable loyalty to country first…above self-interests and narcissistic egoism…A theory that treats self-interest as the foundation of morality…coupled with narcissistic…an inflated sense of self-importance…a combustible mixture of disaster and destruction.

America cannot afford any further disasters or destruction…We are a Nation hanging by a thread…

America cannot afford to continue down the path it has been threading…created by self-indulgent, cruel, manipulative individuals and groups, pushing self-serving agendas while convincing the masses that these manipulations are THEIR agenda…wants… and needs.

A young man is dead. He has a name…Thomas Crooks. He was 20 years of age…On January 6, 2021, he witnessed an act, as did all America and the world, which shook this country to its very core…An attack on the Capitol Building…an attack on Democracy…instigated and spurred on by a “President”. One who took an oath to protect the country…and the Constitution. A President telling anyone who would listen….that the election of another President…was “rigged” and something had to be done…yet…he was elected by that same rigged democracy…and it was good! This was not the history of a nation being taught in school…History lauds Patriots…especially those who stand up for country and citizens…

To top it all off, we get a Supreme Court of Presidential, lifetime appointees, from Trump’s administration, who negated sentences of insurrectionists…and gave a self-indulgent former president…a free-pass to absolute power…above and beyond the Constitution…

Thomas Crooks wanted a better country…better conditions…freedom…a better future…He was without hope…he chose a way he believed could end his hopelessness…and the hopelessness of others of his generation…and without. He knew he would lose his life…to hopefully give life…and a future of hope… to those lamenting around him…Thomas Crooks was created by a Nation that does not know what it stands for…other than division and chaos….

We all want a better country…one that is not ruled by men like Trump and a host of others in our government…who will not move aside for change and progress…Old or young. Mental acuity is in question for many in politics…in all three branches of government… under the age of 50!!!

The era of “Self-indulgent and Self-absorbed politics” is over…

A patriot is a person who vigorously supports their country and is prepared to defend it against enemies or detractors…something our governing bodies have failed to do…and haven’t the courage to do…to use the laws and amend them to vigorously support our country…prepared to defend it against enemies and detractors…especially those who exist within our country….

Saturday, July 13, 2024, in Bethel Park, PA did not need to be…Decades of self-absorbed politicians…created it…and continue to create circumstances which result in loss of life…on every level of living.

Everyday…Mothers lose sons…daughters…husbands…fathers…aunts…uncles…grandmothers…grandfathers…cousins…friends…neighbors…to gun violence…and in service to a country they believe in…give up family…life and limb for…and they are rewarded with crumbs from the table…along with betrayal after betrayal of promises made for votes of election and re-election…only to fall victims to the self-serving individuals, once their place is secured.

What is given…is never enough by any standard…citizens are expected to give and give and give and give…while what is given in return…never quite measures up to what is given…and taken by the government…always wanting to take away a decent and fair quality of life…for the masses…not for themselves…

What do we stand for as a nation?

Sheep being led to slaughter…is a world view…

The only victims here were those who were killed…and critically injured…traumatized… and those raising anger and resentment at what happened. This is not a one-sided story…it is one that has many players and characters…leading up to moments such as these…the failure to do what’s right is always lacking in all stories resulting in tragedy. The most sobering of all realizations is…it could have been avoided.

What DO we stand for as a Nation?

Can we stand more of what is created by ignorance and self-aggrandizements?

Do we stand for liberty?

Do we stand for death?

Do we stand for change…progress and the healing and unifying of our Nation?

Archaic politicians are no longer viable in the 21st Century…Archaic ways…thoughts and actions must be relegated to the Past of their day and era…

Change and progress can no longer be denied…or ignored.

Until everyone stands for country first…and our humanity…We will stand…divided…and forever…lost in darkness….

One Nation…Godless…Divisible.

We…Must…Stand…

Looking Back…Moving Forward…Arise in the 21st Century…What Do You Stand For?

The next several months of 2024 are going to be the defining moments and structure of what America really stands for in Body…Mind…and Spirit. For far too long, the foundation of America has been crumbling and giving way to the dark components upon which it was founded…England sent it’s worst to America’s shores in 1615, convicts. Between 1700 and 1775, about 52,200 convicts were sent to the colonies, with more than 20,000, to Virginia. Eighty percent were sent to Virginia and Maryland.

Simply put: Criminals. Persons who have committed crimes. Today we see an overwhelming acceptance of criminal behavior being overlooked and accepted at the highest levels of government, to the fact that the acceptance of a criminal running for another presidential term has mesmerized followers into believing that this criminal…is a Savior!

Again, the world is watching. America’s opposition is watching with bated breath…Knowing that if this criminal once again finds his way into the White House, due to a misguided and mislead portion of the population, they can enter American shores, and aid in the toppling of a nation that had great promise and once commanded world respect. 

With America out of the way, due to a self-proclaimed dictator and madman, nothing will stop the “Putins”, or land wars in the Middle East, or anywhere in the world, without a presence of stability, which America once was…

What do you stand for?

It is long past time to look inward…so for now, look back…into the Past… What do you see when you strip away the lies masquerading as truth, and the truth being touted as lies? Ask yourself, “Where is the ‘intelligent’ life?”

Ask yourself…”What do I stand for?”

Are you really evil, masquerading as a person of “light?”

Or are you one of the Devil incarnate, without a mask, pushing evil shamelessly…everywhere? Many in the GOP have openly pledged allegiance to this Spirit, which presently has a strong hold on many…revealing their weakness of spirit…in body, as well as mind.

America stands on the precipice of falling into a darkness and destruction from which there will be no return…America will be no more.

A person of light only sees and creates paths to better and uplift humanity…collectively…unconditionally.

Instead of rising in the 21st Century…many are paving the way to our country’s imminent demise.

This country was built on the backs of slavery…and immigration. There is a way to fix both.

Germany took steps to stand accountable for its role in the Holocaust and the horrific crimes and atrocities visited upon the Holocaust victims and their heirs by paying restitution and compensations in funds and survivor’s pensions,and other acts of accountability…

Why can’t America collectively stand accountable for the stain that defines it?

Redress and Reparations for Japanese American Incarceration was given by President Ronald Reagan, a Republican President…

No one told them to “get over it,” or “I wasn’t born when that happened, so why should I pay?”

I wasn’t born during Slavery…I wasn’t born during World War II when the Jewish community in Europe were suffering the atrocities visited upon them, or the imprisonment of Japanese Americans for being of Japanese heritage at a time when Japan was considered an enemy due to their role in the second World War…However, hatred and prejudice committed by ancestors of those not born in those eras, is passed down to heirs through their behaviors, to either continue it or end it, thus, there is the “accountability.”

The victims and families of slave descendants are OWED reparations, compensation, survivors pensions, and restoration of land and wealth stolen…it is the RIGHT thing to do! Instead, racism, discrimination, crimes against Americans of African ancestry continue to this day…without apology…restitution…or second thoughts of any real recognition to accountability…due to hatred and ignorance flowing freely…because of… the color of “skin.”

A few notable attempts have been made to rectify egregiousness that is witnessed and decried around the world…yet it doesn’t begin to move the scales of justice in equality or redress…in what was endured, and continues to be endured by Americans of African ancestry.

What do you stand for?

Borders can be secured when the right laws of passage into America are made and enforced. That means anyone coming into America without the steps to becoming a citizen…must not be allowed into the country! Busing illegal immigrants to “Democratic” states only increases frustrations with immigrants being subjected to conditions that they should not be a party to…The blatant stupidity of those doing just that are to be viewed as dangers to the progress and healing of our country! Governors of Florida, Arizona, Texas! Grow some real balls and stop creating chaos in the lives of American citizens. Don’t create problems…Man up and create solutions…in the states that you govern! That’s why you’re a governor!?

Sanctuary should only be given to those suffering from countries at war. America is past the days of needing immigration to enrich her shores…There are too many Americans suffering from the very things that immigrants are trying to escape in their own countries! Many Americans are living below the poverty line…the high cost of living and housing are forcing many into the streets…With politicians only concerned about “Red” and “Blue” states…and “party first” over citizens, America has become a nation of “Bloods and Crips” by political standards!

We are not a nation of GOP (Republicans) and Democrats…we are a diverse nation of people…who just want a quality of life that will enable us to contribute the best of ourselves in building a nation…were freedom is not just a seven-letter word!

What do you stand for???!!!

Hatred and division is not the path to a “free” America…

The next several months will reveal a horrific truth….

Look back….

Can we move forward?

Will we rise in the 21st Century…or will we fall?

WHAT DO YOU STAND FOR???!!!

If you embrace division…hatred…racism…discrimination…cowardliness in believing lies for truth…and truth for lies…lawlessness…inciting chaos…living as if you’re above law and order…while taking from the poor and filling the coffers of the rich…through corrupt politics…your soul already belongs to Satan…The Devil…DJT…You know who you are…and everyone around you knows as well…

The question is…Is there enough soul salvation in them to do the right thing…by the American people?

The answer will be revealed…by what commands our souls….

We are all a part of the answer…

Whatever reveals itself…will affect all of us…

Good…bad…or indifferent…

Our choices affect not only our country…but the world.

We are long past denial….

God Help Us…

The “Presidential Debate?” What debate?! It was a debacle.

God Help Us…

We must be bigger and better than what millions of us witnessed tonight.

Our country cannot…will not…survive another four years of narcissistic, Lessons In Evil Subtantiated…LIES…..

We are faced with a task of choosing what will be the best administration for our country…to heal…beat the virus…to get back to work…and to unify for the benefit of saving a nation that is clearly in danger of self-destruction.

We must stop passing the buck and stand up and be counted. We must speak up and use our voices…loud…and clear…That we will not be ignored any longer. We are the Democracy…We…The People. We cannot and must not be fearful of doing what is clearly the right thing to do for our country.

We must elect politicians who will usher in change…Who recognize that the current parties are in desperate need of an overhaul…and a serious restructuring and rebuilding…We must break the old belief systems of the past…rejecting those politicians who insist upon taking our country back to the “dark ages” and empower those who are projecting and practicing “Change.”

Our country will not withstand its present course under archaic and exclusivity politics now in practice and full swing… We will never be a great nation…or a free nation…if we continue to accept the shackles and chains that now bind each and every American…Black…White…Red…Yellow…Brown…Blue…Purple…Whatever! We must start with eliminating the “labels” and separations…and realize that we are all “Human Beings” and members of Humanity.

God Help Us…to remember that we are not the chaos and hatred that is embraced like a life-saver…it is an anchor which weighs us down…and will eventually be the death of us…all of us…there will be no survivors who are schooled through chaos and hatred….

We cannot continue to embrace darkness over Love and Truth….This time is “Do or Die” time…We must choose the light of love over the darkness of chaos and disorder…We will not survive it…our nation will go up in flames…like other once strong and rising nations…who lost their footing…and eventually perished…because they thought they were greater than what they really were…greatness without an “equitable” foundation is already a foundation crumbling….

After what was witnessed tonight…We must invest in Truth…Justice…Unity…We The People….The salvation of our country is in our hands…Vote…You will and can change the present course of our country…

The greatness of America…is Her people…

God Help Us…

To realize that.

What’s Important… What Are Your Priorities?

What’s important…What are your priorities? What’s important to you? What are your priorities in life…in your life?

Once you have decided what’s important…what’s important to you, what your priorities are in life, and in your life…what road or path will you take to bring these things of importance and priorities into being and fruition?

Will attainment be sought by principles of truth, honesty and a moral compass? Or will the results be attained by lies (Lessons In Evil Substantiated), criminalities, deceit, immorality, and all that immorality implies?

When “accomplishments” in immorality come to fruition they are saturated with victims and events wittingly and unwittingly caught up in the midst of a cataclysm that eventually brings about great changes…oftentimes, changes that are devastating and irreparable.

The courses we choose to take are never without connectivity to others…our actions consciously and unconsciously will always involve others.

What’s important to us…our priorities and how we go about achieving them, can never be self-serving…although the majority of people do indeed, make their plans on a level that is completely self-serving.  Others may be considered at the onset of the quest, yet somewhere along the journey, the quest becomes self-serving.

The saving grace is possessing a moral compass…A moral compass brings most of us back to the objective of our journey, and how what we do or don’t do, affects the lives of those around us…and those unseen.

What’s important…is remaining true to ourselves while attaining what’s important, with a moral compass that will lead us to realizing our priorities…in life…and in our lives.

What should be important to us? Gaining what’s important to us without sacrificing the integrity of our hearts, at the cost of losing our souls…

In America today, we are witnessing self-serving and sacrifice at the cost of the American Ideal…The American Dream…America’s foundation of principles in the Constitution…and the American People…

Lies…Division…A Fractured and Fissured Government…The Loss of Democracy…Self-Serving Politics…Misplaced Loyalties to Parties over an Ailing Country…Money over Morality…Underestimating the American People…Condemning the American People to Unnecessary Servitude…Promoting Hatred, Color-Barriers, Genocide, Exclusivity Immigration, Reversing Laws of  Human and Women’s Rights…

These things, and endless more atrocities committed by the present administration and unwitting and witting followers of same, have only given the world a bird’s eye view, and those Americans who have ears to hear and eyes to see, a ringside seat…of the deterioration and ultimate demise of a once great Nation…

Any form of vitriol and anarchy must be stopped before it has the opportunity to reach a level of impossibility in containment…History has shown us those outcomes time after time, with atrocities that can never be erased from our hearts, minds and memories…

The lack of what’s important and what priorities aren’t…have just created a bookmark in the Annals of  “Fallen Empires”…

From sea to shining sea…

If There’s A Hell Below…We’re All Gonna Go…

At a very young age, my Uncle J.B. introduced me to the music of Curtis Mayfield…all of his songs were catchy in their rhythmic beats and memorable in their striking and sometimes shocking lyrical content…but right on time! His music was, and to this day, extremely riveting because he captured the social consciousness of the times (then and now), with such stunning precision, in thought and execution.

My view today is given after listening to one of Curtis Mayfield’s compositions titled, “(Don’t Worry) If There Is a Hell Below, We’re All Going to Go.”  I would encourage you to give it a listen…it will transport you to a place and time of the past, that is very much present and going on TODAY.

If There’s a Hell Below…We’re All Gonna Go…because the Impeachment Trial will never come to fruition in removing the individual posing as the Commander-in-Chief,  who did indeed commit high crimes and misdemeanors, in the Office of President of the United States.  Those who can make a difference to end this dog and pony show insist upon exercising misplaced loyalties…they are members of the Pachyderm Party… They have conveniently forgotten that their loyalties are to the Constitution of the United States, and the people of this country…they have formulated an impenetrable web of lies, along with sinister misdirection and accusations of other constituents which have been openly accepted by enough of the masses to condemn everyone to a life in Hell….

The world will get a bird’s eye view of a country that does not lead by example, but lies, which are Lessons In Evil Substantiated, corruption, and a majority in the Senate using  “divide and conquer” in order to achieve their goal of keeping a mental degenerate in office.

There is no honor in being an elephant in this political climate…They have sold their souls, and any integrity of consciousness, if ever possessed within any one of them, to support a severely damaged, mortal, playing a role that is out of touch with the reality of how the government works in a Democracy…A Democracy that is dead, as long as Dictator Donald Trump (DDT) is supported by the starry-eyed Pachyderm Party.

If There’s a Hell Below, We’re All Gonna Go…for doing nothing… for being victims of circumstance…for following blindly…for knowingly participating in the lies…for condemning a country for self-serving gains…for using free-will to oppress and distress…

Lord, what we gonna do,

Tell me what we gonna do

If everything I say is true?

This ain’t no way it ought to be

If only all the mass could see

~Excerpt Lyrics from (Don’t Worry) If There Is A Hell Below, We’re All Going To Go– Curtis Mayfield –  (copyrighted Warner Chappell Music, Inc.)
