If you need a reference or context for this post, see my post entitled ” There are Some Things You Don’t Compromise On,” published March 12th.

The citizens of Oxford can sleep peacefully tonight as they realize that their freedom of speech is safe for the time being. In a move that mimics the most deft of politicians, a town commissioner revises what he said a while ago and a commission of Oxford citizens has been created to study the issue of trashy and dangerous signs which give people directions on public land. If that makes no sense to you, suspend your common sense for a bit and I will attempt to explain later.

In previous meetings, the issue of signage was brought up in reaction to signs posted on either side of the movement to relocate a Civil War Monument dedicated to young men who fought on the side of the Confederacy. This debate morphed into removing all political signs because, well, someone didn’t like them. The President of the Commissioners had previously expressed a concern about political signs on private property which might bother someone’s neighbors. He had also expressed concern that these political signs really,”trashed up the town.” However, when he discovered that people in town really did like freedom of speech, he changed his focus and said, “this is not a contentious topic. This is non-content signage. This has nothing to do with anything other than signs we put up to divert traffic.” And the signs in question were only the ones on public property.

Total change of direction. I am impressed. It’s almost as good as the Biden Regime changing the definition of the word ” infrastructure” to mean, “anything we want to spend money on.” Like Bill Clinton said, “Depends on what the meaning of ‘is’ is. “

(I suggest to the President of the Commissioners that he might want to polish his manners however and not cut off other commissioners mid-sentence unless he wants to change his name to “Pelosi.”)

But now we have a committee to study this extremely important topic of the design of directional and non-content signs on public property. They will focus on reducing repetitive signs and examine much better methods of “getting the message”out as well as making the signs much more “aesthetically pleasing.” I guess the social distancing placards in the Town Park and the ugly pole mask posters are goners.

I’m just so glad and look forward to the report on this extremely crucial issue.

But wait, there’s more. There’s always a crisis in Oxford, and this week is no different from any other. This week the crisis is the overwhelming and dangerous problem of domestic cats being let outside in town. Not dangerous to the cats, mind you, but to the birds and other critters. You see, these cats sometimes hunt and kill birds, mice, etc. ( As a disclaimer, I don’t have an outdoor cat and I love birds. I have six bird feeders in my yard. Don’t tell the commissioners, they may want to study how many feeders are allowed on one property.) The problem, according to those who are concerned, is that these domestic cats are not hungry and therefore killing the birds for food, but are well fed and killing the birds for the heck of it. Sort of like humans who hunt for recreation.

Okay. I guess if you are a bird and cat kills you to eat you, that’s okay, but if he’s just playing around, well….

The idea has been floated to either create a town ordinance against cats running free OR to require that all outdoor cats wear a bell in order to warn the birds that they are coming.

Knowing this town the way I do, the bell rule will cause a problem. How big a bell? How loud? Remembering that we live in a town where outdoor music at a local restaurant sets people over the edge, I can just imagine the problem huge packs of belled cats ringing and dinging through town will create.

And, if we want to keep cats from running free, well, we are going to need cat trackers or cat police or something.

And what do we do about the hawks that kill the birds. Do we put a bell on them?

I’m sure I have offended more than half the town by now. To the sweet person who is concerned about the birds, I’m sure your concerns are well intended. To the Commissioners, well, the public eye can be harsh. This is satire and meant to be humorous, for the most part. That’s why I don’t use names.

But, it strikes me as interesting that in a time of such chaos and turmoil, we have these small town issues that take up our time. That’s the nature of humans. We see our lives from ground level instead of from 40,000 feet. I do it, we all do. These small issues are the ones we can attempt to control and speak out about, while we are silenced and nullified about the larger issues of our country and world.

And I guess we need to embrace that fact and do what we can, while attempting to find a way to change what may challenge us.

*Credit for quotes to Brad Dress, Reporter for the Star Democrat.

This is about two topics regarding the major media that prove what many of us have been saying all along.

Thanks to James O’Keefe and Project Veritas and the White House, today we have proof of two things many Conservatives have been saying all along. The Major News Outlets, Broadcast Companies, and the Democrats have been colluding to unfairly influence political results and the behavior of Americans.

You many not remember the “Fairness Doctrine.” I do. It was a policy of the FCC ( Federal Communications Commission) that was put into place in 1949 and was maintained until 1987. The policy stated that radio and television broadcast stations were a form of public trust and as such, should provide fair and balanced coverage of controversial issues. The policy went through many Supreme Court challenges on the basis of being a violation of free speech, but survived until the age of deregulation and proliferation of broadcast channels via cable T.V. and satellite radio. Congress attempted to reinstate it twice, but twice the bills were vetoed by first Reagan and George H.W. Bush. *Gill, Kathy,” What is the Fairness Doctrine?” ThoughtCo, February 16,2021.

I think many of us understand the Constitutional issues surrounding the doctrine, but I also wonder if we realized that the undoing of the policy would lead to such rampant partainship among major news and broadcast outlets. I was brought up under the idea that a NEWS journalist would present the facts without opinion so that the people could make a decision. I was always taught that they would verify facts before releasing them. The famous broadcasters that my father watched every night seemed to follow that policy.

For years, Conservatives have stated that the current inaccurately labeled “news outlets” such as CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, and even FOX lately, have been overwhelmingly biased towards liberals and Democrats. Their harsh and scathing treatment of President Trump contrasted with the kid gloves approach for Biden were evidence. Along with that, the constant use of unverified quotes, facts, and outright lies by these outlets have been almost comic if they weren’t so awful.

Of course the left, as they always do, called us idiots, said it wasn’t true, said we were conspiracy theorists, and so on. Even when it was shown to be true, they just didn’t care. While stopping just short of calling it propaganda, the Left said it was just ” politics” and in their minds, it was true.

Today, as we watch the video of CNN Director Charlie Chester ADMIT that his network actively focused on getting Trump out of office by lying and creating false stories AND also drummed up propaganda ( yes, he used that word) about Trump and Republican Matt Gaetz, we are vindicated. Not only that, we see that CNN actually performed acts that could open them up to huge liable AND slander lawsuits from Trump, Gaetz and, I think, the American voter. The last one may be a stretch, but wouldn’t it be fun to sue CNN for lying enough about the election that they convinced stupid people to vote for Biden? ( Better yet, wouldn’t you just love to sue the Biden voters for stupidity? I guess that’s not a thing.)

And now they are working to spread propaganda about climate change IF they can get their propaganda about Covid out of the way first. Do you wonder if the White House is colluding with them? I don’t. I’m sure of it. There is no way CNN works independently to spread the lies the White House lives off of.

Going into my SECOND topic, the collusion of the White House with other broadcast channels, I will share quotes from Jen Psaki, White House Press Secretary and all around “know nothing,” stating that they are “looking for creative ways to encourage white conservatives to take COVID-19 vaccines, such as using public service announcements (PSAs) through different popular channels.”

It’s funny because first of all I thought we were Domestic Terrorists and therefore should be allowed to die a horrible death from Covid, second, I thought as White People we shouldn’t be given the vaccine because of our overwhelming advantage due to ” white privilege.” But, I digress.

But wait, here’s the kicker. “We’ve run PSAs on’ The Deadliest Catch’. We’re engaged with NASCAR and Country Music TV. We’re looking for a range of creative ways to get directly connected to white conservative communities,” Psaki said on Monday at the press conference.

WHOA WHOA WHOA. You awful racists! You assume that all White people watch “The Deadliest Catch.” NASCAR, and Country Music TV? What a horrible stereoptye! I am HORRIBLY OFFENDED and think you, like Dr. Seuss, should be BANNED.

You should also be charged with absolute horrible production. The PSA’s you show are pathetic, schmaltzy, and whiney. And then you go so far as to tell me it’s my patriotic duty to get an untested, possibly harmful vaccine? One that your very own garden gnome Fauci tells me won’t keep me from getting Covid? Or wearing a mask? YOU? Forget it.

I also wonder about something. It seems you are working WAY TOO HARD to get everyone to buy in. If Covid was that deadly, that horrific; if bodies were filling the streets, you wouldn’t have to convince people to take the vaccine.

See, you and your lying lapdogs like CNN have lied SO MUCH, that we don’t believe or trust you anymore. So, show commercials on any WHITEY WHITE channel you want. We ain’t buying it, or taking it.

The Executive Order on Gun Control was signed by Mr. Biden last week. There are several parts of the order that are typical Democrat back door legislations, meaning they say one thing, but are going beyond what they say to lead to something else.

Example? The first part of the order is about “Ghost Guns.” No, these are not guns that float around with Casper, they are guns that are homemade using kits. They are called “ghost guns” because they cannot be traced.

What we need to understand is that these “ghost guns” are not only impractical for the user, but they are rarely, if ever, the weapon of choice for a criminal. So why are they the first item in this legislation?

Think of it like this, if the Dems can make ghost guns criminal and of specific attention, they can also make something else a highlight of regulation. Gun parts. Not ghost gun parts, but gun parts that an owner might order to replace broken or worn out parts on an exisiting gun. If the Dems can restrict the sale of those parts, what will gun owners do? If you can’t replace some parts, you can’t use your gun. This means you have to buy another gun, if you can. If you can’t, you are out of luck. Even if you have to register every replacement part, that’s a hardship and a cost many gun owners can’t afford. So, through the back door, the government eliminates some gun owners from having a gun.

That’s one example. Here’s another. Red Flag Laws. These laws allow a family member, friend, or member of law enforcement to petition a court to take away a person’s guns because they are considered troubled or dangerous. The intent, they say, is to keep those who are in psychological distress from shooting others or themselves. Sounds reasonable, right?

It would be except for one thing. In many of these cases, due process is inadequate or non-existent. It’s one thing to have a serious concern about a person’s mental state, say like Hunter Biden, and quite another to have someone not like or agree with something you post on social media and refer you for implementation of the red flag law. Or, to have an angry neighbor refer you because you left your Trump sign out too long.

What if you are one of those nasty anti-vaxxers and refuse the Covid vaccine? Could you be compelled to take it or be designated as red flag eligible by local authorities?

When they designate being Conservative, a Trump Supporter, as being a Domestic Terrorist, what will happen to your gun rights then? Don’t think that’s possible? Talk to the new Secretary of Defense.

There are other laws they are proposing that have “back doors” in them as well. Think illegal immigration. Think compulsory union membership, even for contract workers. You see, they never do just one thing. That’s not how Communists work. It’s not a regular lie, it’s just a lie of omission. They use it all the time. So when you see a law, think like a Democrat and take that law to it’s most obvious conclusion somewhere down the line.

Knowing what they really want is part of the plan to keep them from their goals.

The quote above is from a book by the late Kim Clement. Clement was known as a prophet and a preacher. You may wonder what I am doing reading a book written by a prophet. Well, I saw a video of him a few months ago and liked his message. Yes, he made prophecies, but I wasn’t as interested in his prophecies as I was in how he became a prophet and what his beliefs were.

One of them was that prophecies were not like God’s Powerpoint presentation that was shown to certain people. They were more like light being shown to a person of what could and should be. Prophecies were God’s way of changing YOUR perspective of a problem. Once you change your perspective of a problem, then you can truly change yourself. That change will help you achieve the future you are meant to have. He says,” The future is inside each of us.”

As I was running today, my Dad’s birthday, I thought about that quote. And then I thought about him. Did he realize that the future was inside him when he defied a medical exemption to go sign up for World War II at the age of 19?

He trained to be a flight engineer among other jobs including bombadier and flew multiple missions over occupied territory, including on D-Day. He was shot down behind enemy lines and was missing in action for a time before he escaped. When the war was over, he stayed in the Air Force and made it a career. He must have known the future was inside him then.

I asked him one time if he was afraid during the War. His answer was that he felt invincible and that nothing would happen to him. Was that the bravado of a young man or a glimpse of his future? Who knows. I’m sure there were plenty of young men who felt that way who were not lucky enough to come home.

None of them knew exactly what would happen. But they knew they had to act, had to create the future for us and for themselves. God showed them the problem from a different perspective, His.

Nowadays, too many people want God’s timeline on a Powerpoint. Trust me, I know how they feel. Don’t we all want to know what will happen tomorrow, next week, next year, etc.? Things are frightening right now, maybe as frightening for us as World War II was for our parents and grandparents. It would be nice to see how it all will end. But that’s not how it works. If we sit and wait for that, we will be disappointed. I read that disappointment every day on message boards and social media sites. People depending on someone else to fix what is going on while they sit and watch.

When my Dad said he felt invincible, I’m sure he didn’t mean that God gave him a vision or a prophecy that was earthshaking in nature. What I think is that Dad had a gut feeling, an instinct, that told him things would be okay. I’ve felt that feeling before, it’s like a calm that washes over me. It’s only happened to me a couple of times in my life.

But, how is our future revealed to us? How do we know which thoughts to pay attention to? To ignore? How do we know a gut feeling is the way to go?When does that voice inside us mean something?

I think that when we get that idea, that thought, that voice, we have to use our logic AND our emotions together to make a decision. It’s not a long process because many times the decision is made in seconds. If you have ever met someone and took an instant liking to them, you know what I mean.

There are other times when we get that idea and we have to sit, listen, and process it and pray about it, hoping for direction. With me, I have to be able to envision myself doing what is suggested. Many times I have considered going somewhere, doing something, but stopped because it just didn’t seem to be a picture of my future.

Just in case you think these decisions are clear all the time, I have had many times when I knew to do something but I was stubborn. I didn’t want to do it, it was hard, or maybe I just didn’t think it mattered. In those cases, I had to have the message shown to me again and again in more extreme ways each time. For example, when I quit teaching for a few years, I had to be shown it was the right thing for me. Over and over, the message would come to me through a variety of events. Once I knew it was the right thing to do, it took me a day to write my letter of resignation and turn it in. Immediately, it felt right and it was. Without doing that, I think I would have been a totally different person as I continued my career, and not one I wanted to be. As it was, that decision led me to do many things and to eventually come back to teaching on my own terms, in a positive way.

The future was in me all along, and it still is.

So, back to where we are now. It’s one thing to make decisions about our own lives, but how do we deal with what others are doing to our world, especially when we don’t know how things will turn out?

Going back to those men and women during World War II, remember their world was being destroyed violently each day. They had no idea how things would end. All they had was faith and their choices. They needed their faith to keep moving forward. They had to know that the future of their lives and the fate of the world was inside them and depended on their actions. I’m sure they were afraid, even my Dad. But, that didn’t stop them.

Even those who lost their lives in the war had the future inside them. It was a future shaped by their sacrifices. Without their sacrifice, the world could have been a much different place. We can wonder if they would have made the same decision had they known they would die. Without knowing each one of them, we can’t be sure.

As for us, we can’t stop moving forward either. It’s easy to get discouraged and sit frozen in our homes doing nothing. I know, I felt that way a bit this week. And then, my Dad’s birthday came and I realized I couldn’t dishonor him or his generation by ignoring the importance of my choices.

So, listen to that voice. Do what you can do. Post a hashtag message, make a video, talk to a friend, write a lawmaker. Do whatever you need to so the future inside you will happen.

Happy Birthday Dad! And thanks for the ideas!

I know Joe Biden has dementia. I know he is incapacitated. Maybe that explains something he said today that makes NO sense to me.

While talking about his new Executive Order about guns, Joe decided to recite a bit of verbal garbage that is not only untrue but misleading. He said that none of the Amendments to the Constitution “were absolute.” Then, he used that ridiculous argument about the First Amendment and how it doesn’t cover someone shouting “fire” in a movie theater. I’ve heard that hackneyed bit of nonsense since I was in grade school. Problem is, most people misuse it, just like good old Joe did.

See, the First Amendment prevents the government from preventing you from speaking. There is no exception, but SOME speech is seen by the courts as protected and some is not. Most speech is protected UNLESS it causes or incites harm to others. That’s where the “yelling fire” example applies. Free speech IS absolute. Causing harm to someone or slandering/liableing them with your words, is not. And all of these unprotected instances of speech have been decided by the Supreme Court, not one individual carrying out the political agenda of his party.

The Second Amendment is also absolute. Citizens have the right to keep and bear arms. There is NO example in the Constitution that denies that right. Unlike the First Amendment, the Second Amendment has had NO Supreme Court decisions that limited this right. In D.C. v. Heller and Mcdonald v. Chicago, the Court voted down restrictions of the Second Amendment. And although the Court discussed different reasons why guns would be restricted or areas where guns should be restricted, they made NO decision in these areas. Basically, the only restrictions in gun rights have been made by Executive Orders or votes from Congress. And even those, which basically cover certain guns or gun accessories, are disputed by gun rights advocates.

There is the issue of states declaring their own restrictions on gun rights, such as Maryland which allows handgun ownership in one’s homes only unless a person has a carry permit. But, as stated by Charles Cooke in his article in National Review, “The Bill of Rights Doesn’t Have to be Absolute to Have Teeth,” April 8, 2021, “Invariably, people who say a ‘right isn’t absolute’ are not trying to determine the proper scope the the right so much as they are trying to skip a step by implying that if some regulation is permissable, ALL regulation is permissable. ”

That idea and what Joe said is wrong. Not only is it wrong, it is dangerous. A President who thinks the Constitution and its Amendments are not absolute is a President who is inclined to systematically remove those rights to suit his authority. As they say, “A tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.”

We have seen, Mr. Biden and his regime/ party are constantly floating suggestions of getting rid of the rights protecting unlawful search and seizure, privacy, the judicial process, etc. What if Joe and the Democrats decide that any one of the amendments isn’t “absolute” and should be virtually and unilaterally eliminated? Imagine a President Harris ( you know its coming) deciding that the property of white homeowners must be forfeited to provide reparations for the descendants of slaves? Or homes for illegals? Think it’s out of the question? Okay. I’ll bet you never thought anyone would propose a “passport” being required for you to shop, go out to dinner, etc. or that requiring an I.D. for voting would be racist either.

Rights are rights. At no time should they be limited or restricted. Instead of taking the approach of debating the “absoluteness” of rights or trying to find ways to deny them, it seems to me that a government’s time might be better spent prosecuting the crimes committed with guns. Crimes such as murder, assault, robbery, etc. That will be the real deterrent. Restricting the rights of law abiding citizens will not.

So, Mr. Biden, let me give you one absolute. You are absolutely an illegitimate and incompetent occupant of the office you have assumed. I am absolutely sure of that.

I’ll make a confession. It may change your opinion of me. If it does, it does.

I watched an Alex Jones episode last night.

I can see you right now. You are rolling your eyes and thinking I have finally lost it. You have heard of Alex Jones. He’s a nut job, right?

Maybe.

Why did I listen to him? I listened to him because it was a recommendation from someone I trust, someone who is not a wild conspiracy theorist. To be fair, I have friends who think this person isn’t trustworthy at all. But, what the heck, it can’t hurt for me to watch and listen, can it?

For me, no, it can’t hurt me because I am a person who considers everything and sifts through it, tries to make sense of it, decides what is valid and what isn’t, throws useless parts out, and keeps what is useful. Have I been wrong before? Yes. Have I been right? Yes.

But, I’m not writing today to talk about what Alex Jones said and if I think it is correct or not. My topic is about how we, as thinking and spiritual beings, know who and what we can trust, and who and what we cannot, or if we can trust anything at all.

Everyday, we are hit with so many stories about every topic, politics, Covid, society, law, etc. They come from many different sources, main stream media, alternative and secondary media, social media, government sources, and even word of mouth. It’s like being in a giant wave pool where the waves come at you so quickly you can never gain your footing.

On one day, you hear from the CDC that the Covid vaccines are safe. Then you hear that they have caused serious allergic reactions, blood clots and even deaths above the average for vaccines. Then you hear that they have been created to kill people in a move to reduce population. The European Union suspends the AstraZeneca vaccines. There are reports of deaths, cases of Covid AFTER vaccination, miscarriages. What do you believe? Who do you believe, because medical experts on all sides are saying something different.

This is just one example of the quandry the average citizen is in.

It wasn’t always like this. As you know, I was an Air Force brat as my Dad was career Air Force. He worked at the Pentagon for a bit in a high clearance job. I always felt secure that what the government, the news media, and the medical profession told us was true. There were things we knew, our phones were bugged, he couldn’t tell us any details about his job, etc. But I NEVER thought our government was blatantly lying to us.

I was naive. As more and more information is declassified by the government, we see that different agencies, the CIA, FBI, DOJ, NSA, etc. have been not only hiding information for us, but distorting and fabricating it as well.

With cable networks and the internet available to all of us with all of what is reported or shared there, there is a huge tsunami of information rushing to us. Just this morning I woke up, turned on the History Channel and there was a story about the CIA and the shady drug and biological warfare projects they used in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. Some of it was theory and conjecture, but some of it was documented. Interesting and a bit scary.

On the internet there are more and more options for people to produce videos, blog, news posts, and message boards that share similar stories about hidden government projects, plans, conspiracies and actions. Where once a documentary required money and special equipment, now all someone needs is a smart phone and a story to tell.

So, we are inundated. How do we know what is true and what is not? I have some methods I use to help me sift through it all.

1. I question EVERYTHING. The questions I ask are: Who is telling me this? Are they credible? Do their past actions make them trustworthy? What is their motive for sharing this story? Are they making money off of this? Who do they work for or represent? Do they have a motive to lie? For example, when the World Health Organization says that the Covid virus came from animals and not a lab in Wuhan China, it’s important to note that the Communist Chinese Party participated in the investigation. Right away, I realize that there is not only a bias to this revelation, but also a motive for the WHO to lie since they get funding from China.
2. I judge the character of the person creating and delivering the information. As a former teacher, my experience helps me to analyze character. I’m not always right, but I would say I am MOSTLY right. There are some content creators I judge to be trustworthy. Very few actually. I always thought Rush Limbaugh was trustworthy, merely because even though he had an agenda, I knew what that agenda was and I also knew he didn’t warp information to his agenda. Yes, he stuck to stories that proved his points, but he also gave credit where credit was due. He was consistent. There are a few others, but most sources I consider “on probation” because I have seen too many that seemed trustworthy do something to lose that trust. Same with politicians. I have almost NONE that I trust. Why? Because they are politicians and politicians will say and do whatever they need to get elected. The only one I have NOT seen do that is Rand Paul. I don’t always agree with him, but he is consistent and seems to have the good of the country at heart. He doesn’t run to a microphone every time something happens. One person I don’t and never have trusted is Dr. Fauci. My distrust started with a gut feeling that this guy was more interested in getting the attention he craves than actually helping our country through Covid. He has definitely proven me right as he has bounced from one side to the other with recommendations. His motives are not pure, he gets paid more if Covid lingers, and I think he is in league with the drug companies.
3. I think for myself and ask myself if what I am hearing makes sense. For example, when the CDC tells me to wear a mask, stay 6 feet apart, get a vaccine before I do anything BUT they don’t make a peep about the untested thousands coming across the border, that doesn’t make sense. When Black Lives Matters protests are not considered “super spreaders” but Trump rallies are, that doesn’t make sense. And, when I see a man who cannot form coherent sentences being touted by the media as ” competent” and “in charge,” it doesn’t make sense. I also lean on my own experience and investigation to tell me when things don’t ring true.
4. Who is trying to change my behavior and why are they trying to change it? Many times bad information is created to make the average person change their behavior. Example, how many times have we been told different food items are bad only to be told later that they are good? An even better example is taxes. When the government doesn’t want you to do certain things, they tax them at a heavier rate. Remember when New York and other cities placed higher sales taxes on sodas? They said it was to keep people healthier by forcing them not to drink soda. What happened was that people just got their soda elsewhere to avoid the taxes. The only people hurt by these behavior taxes? The merchants in the city. And the citizens still drank soda. When you think about it, that’s where the whole vaccine passport motive seems to be tyranny and control. Leana Wen, a talking head former Baltimore City health officer on CNN, unwisely disclosed this motive when she said that resuming our lives was the necessary “carrott” for getting the vaccine. Hey, thanks, Leana, but my rights aren’t a reward, they are an irrevocable fact. So, keep your vaccine. ( BTW, Leana has the typical soft spoken, smiley persona these lefties have when they promotes this tyranny. Another reason not to believe her.)
5. And sometimes, my gut just tells me something is wrong.

One of my theories for all of disinformation is that the more chaos and confusion there is, the more division there is, the easier it will be to freeze people where they are. Remember “paralysis by analysis”? The more we all have to carefully analyze everything that is said, the more we distrust EVERYTHING and EVERYONE, the more likely it is that we will do NOTHING.

What we CAN do is act together as we do our own “fact checking.” This is not just by social media posts, but in person, face to face, in conversation. The more people investigating something, the more likely we are to get to the truth of the matter, especially if we can’t hide behind our online anonymity. This will scare some folks off, but those of us who remain will know the truth and how to proceed.

We can also keep our knee jerk reactions to a minimum. It’s easy to hear a rumor and go off the deep end with emotions. But, we waste our time and energy if the rumor is untrue.

This is not about making more confusion. It’s about talking with real people about what we have learned. We need to learn how to use the “chaos” to create order.

Yes, I watched Alex Jones. Yes, I learned something new. And, yes, I investigated his information myself. I won’t tell you my conclusions. If you want to know what he presented, go see it yourself by searching “Emergency Broadcast” and his name. If you don’t want to, that’s fine too.

In the end, you have to trust yourself and God. The rest you have to verify.

I didn’t rob a bank. I didn’t commit murder. I didn’t threaten anyone. I sent an email regarding possible infringements on individual freedoms due to proposed Covid regulations to many state officials including my local State’s Attorney. It was an email written by a group I participate in; a group against Covid inspired mandates. I got many responses.

Some of the responses were the typical ” out of office” replies. Some stated their agreement with me. But one stood out because the response from this person was rude and confrontational. It also contained a directive and a threat at the end. If I contacted this person again, he would consider it “harassment and it would be dealt with accordingly”. Did I say this was the State’s Attorney of the county where I live? It was.

I was shocked, not that he auto-replied with such anger and hatred, but that he would tell a citizen of the county he works in to “never contact him again” or face being “dealt with accordingly.” I responded sharing my shock that he would react so.

He didn’t like THAT email either and went on to tell me that he was angry that he got an e-mail blast from citizens, that many were from another part of the state. Then, he basically called me stupid and told me this wasn’t his problem and he would like me to move along. He did say if I had a complaint about he handled this, I should contact the state’s office that handles complaints. His extreme arrogance was astounding.

I have a written response. I haven’t sent it yet.

What this shows me is something I think many of us are beginning to fully understand. It’s interesting that this quote by Charles Barkley came out yesterday:

“Man, I think most white people and Black people are great people,” Barkley said.

“I really believe that in my heart, but I think our system is set up where our politicians, whether they’re Republicans or Democrats, are designed to make us not like each other so they can keep their grasp of money and power.”

“They divide and conquer,” he said.

“I truly believe in my heart most white people and Black people are awesome people, but we’re so stupid following our politicians, whether they’re Republicans or Democrats, and their only job is, ‘Hey, let’s make these people not like each other. We don’t live in their neighborhoods, we all got money, let’s make the whites and Blacks not like each other, let’s make rich people and poor people not like each other, let’s scramble the middle class,'” Barkley went on.

While his quote seems to be about a different topic from this post, it really isn’t. His comments highlight what our government is about right now, division so they can keep power and money. We, as shown by the reaction of our local State’s Attorney, are merely an inconveinence in their busy lives. We exist on a tier way below them.

Think about it. Our politicians at every level, feel that we serve THEM, not the other way around. We need to sit down, shut up and let them do whatever they want. They feel they are better than us, smarter than us, and separate from us. They use us whenever they want to promote themselves or get re-elected. We are merely pawns in their long range plans. Need evidence?

• Congress passes a Covid relief bill of 1.9 TRILLION dollars, of which only 9% goes to citizens of the U.S. The rest is divided among foreign countries, federal workers, illegals, states and cities, etc. Huge payoffs to unions while the average citizen gets a pittance.
• Biden White House and Congress fight against voter I.D. even though 70% of the population are in favor of it.
• Executive Orders from the White House promote transgender men competing in women’s sports even though a majority of Americans oppose this, the destruction of the XL Pipeline, thus causing thousands of Americans to lose jobs and gas prices to soar, and the re-opening of the southern border to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants, allowing Cartels to re-gain a foothold in our country while releasing illegals into our country who have not been tested for Covid and other diseases. These illegals will have all the benefits Americans pay for without having paid into the system.
• They promote extensive voter fraud in national elections, thus allowing illegals and convicts to vote as well eliminating the ability to certify votes as valid. This nullifies the impact of the legal votes of American citizens.
• The Governors and National politicians totally disregard the impact of Draconian and useless Covid lockdowns and mandates. Meanwhile, they still collect their salaries and take care of their cronies’ businesses and families. Some offer up the elderly in nursing homes as sacrifices to save others.
• They unevenly prosecute the law when it comes to members of the political class and their children, i.e. Hunter Biden, Maxine Waters, and many others, while making sure the everyday citizen pays heavily for not wearing a mask or for making a mistake on their taxes.
• They target sections of the population that express different political views than that of the ruling class.

There are so many more examples.

It’s clear that we have created royalty in our country. How? We didn’t pay attention. We voted for “our guys” even though they were equally bad. We permitted them to be bought by other countries, big corporations, social media, the news media, special interests and did nothing. We allowed them to openly lie to us about a “pandemic” and to bully us into measures that are useless in preventing the spread of a normal, yearly flu. And we turned against each other to enforce them.

We didn’t get involved because we thought voting was enough. We thought our Constitution and our laws would protect us against us against their overreach, when clearly they have thrown those documents out and changed the laws to benefit themselves.

And now, they don’t need us or care about us. They are a large cartel who will not just ignore us, but get rid of us if need be. They were able to create fake charges against a sitting President, do we honestly believe they won’t do it to us? Yes, even locally. That guy you elected to the country council, the state’s attorney’s office, etc.? He doesn’t need you either.

This man, this State’s Attorney, a man whose salary is supported by my taxes every year, who has an office and staff supported by my tax dollars, who is supposed to protect the citizens of my county from criminals, doesn’t ever want to hear from me again or I will be “dealt” with. Sound like a county public servant? Not to me.

It almost seems like he isn’t just angry because my email was an inconveinience, but that maybe he is a little scared of it. Not me, of course, I’m just one person.

If you think about it, maybe he is like Congress in D.C., surrounded by fences and National Guard for ONE incident in January that really doesn’t rise to that kind of reaction. I’ve said it before, but it is almost like THEY KNOW that something big is going to happen and it is scaring the hell out of them.

I wonder if they are worried that we, the people, will catch on to them and say “enough is enough.” When you think about what Charles Barkley said and you think of how many of us have had it with these mask mandates and the Washington corruption, they might be afraid that their divisive tactics aren’t going to work any more. They hear a Black man, one of many, speaking out against them. They see many of us joining together without regard to race or nationality to point out their lies.

They try bringing in replacements at the border, hoping they will recreate the Black voting block they once had a lock on. They create claims of Asian racism without realizing that they have locked Asians out of merit based scholarships for years in order to court Blacks. They hope the Hispanic vote will go their way, not realizing that the Hispanic population in this country liked the jobs that the Trump Administration created and they, too, are tired of being assumed to be in the pocket of big government.

I think they forgot that ,universally, people really crave freedom and independence. No one wants someone else deciding their life path for them.

We don’t realize the power we have. And it’s not just voting, it’s more than that. All of us in the “non-ruling” class should realize that if we stop playing their division game, get together despite our differences, and act to get rid of those in our government that serve only themselves, we will have more power than we ever thought.

It’s not about violence. It’s about bugging the crap out of them. It’s about going to their political events and their meetings, getting on the agenda, and speaking out en masse, arm in arm. It’s about letting them know every day that we are here. ( It’s funny, because the email I sent said something about the people ” not going away.” Is that what set him off?)

It’s about sending a clear message to them that we won’t be used any more for their political power and money schemes. We need to get candidates to run who REALLY want to help Americans, and not just their bank accounts. We have to do this if we want to break their hold on the country.

Will it be hard? Yes. We have built up a lot of dislike and resentment over the past years. We have said some nasty things to and about each other. We’re going to have to get over that need to “be correct” all the time and listen, really listen to each other. When something bad happens, we’ll have to drop the assumptions and find out the facts, whether we like them or not.

We’re going to have to pray together, even if our religions are different. And every time these Lords and Ladies of the Political Royal Families try to break us apart, we have to stop, think, and go talk to each other about it.

And when people like this state’s attorney responds to any one of us like this, we need to call them out publically. That won’t be easy either. I’m not going to lie, it is a little scary. Who knows what someone in a position like his will do when he is made to look bad. Currently, all the power is in his office. But, I hope that if he does something to hurt me or mine, I will have people there who will have my back.

We need to do that for each other, or the country is gone for ALL of us.

SPECIAL NOTE: The email that was sent from this group was rather long. It detailed how the members of this group do not feel safe in ” Joe Biden’s America.” It stated that we consider mask mandates, lockdowns, forced vaccination and health passports as violations of our Constitutional Rights. These rights were detailed in the email. The end of the email expressed that we expected our public officials to protect these rights. It was sent to many state and county officials:

Copies of the Email Responses from our State’s Attorney:

Name withheld 3:07 PM (26 minutes ago)Sir or Madam, if you know of a single incident that I have done as contained in your rambling diatribe, please specify what it is; otherwise do not contact me again. Any further emails from you without said specifics shall be considered harassment and dealt with accordingly.Sent from my iPad

My Response to This:

I was a bit shocked at your response to my email, which was one of many from constituents, regarding our concerns about Covid regulations and our rights. 
Do you respond to all emails from constituents with threats? Seems extreme, especially since I am a taxpayer in your county. I’d like to know how contacting officials in my state, whose salaries I help pay, is harassment. Sorry you didn’t like the email. I didn’t write it, but I agree with it. 
Again, threatening “actions” against your constituents seems a bit extreme. A simple auto response would have sufficed if you didn’t want to say anything. 
I have a copy of your response. 
Jan Greenhawk

Citizen of _______ County. 

His Second Response to Me, Not an “Out of Office” reply. ( Please note the extreme arrogance, irritation, and name calling he used. Apparently he finds me childish. Oh, and denial of civil rights is not a criminal act. Is everyone listening?)

Madam:
First, let me start by restating a part of my previous response to you: “If you know os a single incident that I have done”…”please specify what it is.”
Second, as a taxpayer, you should but apparently do not know what we do: we prosecute criminals for committing crimes. We are not “responsible for ensuring consumer rights for all Marylanders.” There is a division of the Office of the Maryland Attorney General which does that.
Third, my response to you was the same that went to the countless other individuals [mostly from the western shore counties] that thought it a good idea to email bomb me about whatever issue this is. I do agree that discrimination of any sort is unlawful, but that does not make it necessarily criminally unlawful.
Next, you should probably direct your concerns to Attorney General Frosh, Senator Ekhardt, Delegate Mautz, council president Callahan, etc. to name a few.
And lastly, you did receive an “auto response,” the same one that all the others in whatever group you belong that felt it necessary to blow-up my inbox with your rants, which like you they no doubt did not write but decided to jump on the email spam train.
If you as a constituent would like to call our office, make an appointment, come in to discuss your concerns like an adult, please feel free so to do. But in the interim, at the risk of redundancy [which is sometimes necessary when the original statement is not heard, misunderstood. or more likely ignored]: If you know of a single incident that I have done to discriminate against anyone’s employment medical rights please specify what it is.
And by all means, keep my previous response to you as well at this one.
Scott G. PattersonState’s Attorney

I took my Trump flag down on Easter Sunday. It’s not because I don’t support him anymore, I still have a sign in my yard for him. It’s because I felt I needed to put up a different flag, one more representative of what we need to do in this country right now.

I heard about this flag from Dutch Sheets, whose “Give Him 15” daily podcasts I listen to everyday. It’s a flag that George Washington flew over his fleet of six ships and is sometimes called the “Washington Cruisers’ Flag.” On it is a green tree and the words, “An Appeal to Heaven.” Washington’s fleet was created before the Continental Navy, and some say this flag was the first flag of the U.S. Navy.

The phrase “An Appeal to Heaven” appeared in a letter written by Dr. Joseph Warren shortly after the Battles of Lexington and Concord on behalf of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress to the citizens of Great Britain informing them of the atrocities the British army had just performed on their own people. The letter states in part:

“…to the persecution and tyranny of his cruel ministry, we will not tamely submit; appealing to Heaven for the justice of our cause, “we determine to die, or be free.” ( Info. from : https://www.revolutionary-war-and-beyond.com/washington-cruisers-flag.html )

The design of the original flag could be different from the one I have flying based on drawings and descriptions from historical accounts. But it doesn’t matter. The message is consistent.

We are in a place right now in our country where we are being subjected to the tyranny of the left. It’s not just Joe Biden, it’s the entire leftist, Socialist machine; Deep State, Congress, so called “social justice” movements, the drug companies and the CDC, state governments, the entertainment industry, the Corporate, Education and Government Bureacracy, and on and on. They impose lockdowns, censorship, travel bans, and social ostracization on those who dare to want freedom. Add to that the millions of uninformed, indoctrinated citizens who take their marching orders from late night T.V. and the news media.

Many of us feel we have no way to fight back. We call and write our government officials and get nothing back but an auto-response. We’re sure the person who the message is for never sees it or even hears about it and the thousands of other calls and correspondence. If we try to talk to the leftist cult around us, they shout us down or repeat the taglines they have imprinted in their brains. We feel hopeless and powerless.

That might have been how Dr. Warren and the colonists felt against the vast resources of the British Empire. Surely farmers and merchants armed with old rifles couldn’t defeat a well trained Army and Navy. Certainly Washington felt that way many times. His fleet of ships wreaked havoc on the British Navy, as they attacked with stealth, but they could not overcome the strongest Navy in the world. An appeal to heaven, a prayer, must have seemed like their only hope. They prayed.

They didn’t stop there however. The thing about prayer is that God doesn’t act like a genie in a bottle. He won’t just wave his wand and make it all change. He needs us. I heard this phrase this morning, again from Dutch Sheets, ” You are Him here.” It is a reference to a quote from 16th century nun, Teresa of Avila. She said, “Christ has no hands on earth buy yours. No feet on earth but yours, no eyes of compassion on earth but yours. He has no body on earth but ours.”

I think you could call that a bit of a cosmic kick in the ass. He can’t do it without us.

Washington knew that too. He knew that sitting on his horse praying wasn’t going to defeat the British. He needed to act. While Congress in Philadelphia was nervous about forming a navy ( who wouldn’t be), he knew it needed to be done. So he did it on his own out of his own pocket. ( By the way, can you even imagine ANY President outside of Trump doing anything like that? Me either.) And Washington was just a general at that point.

So, I put that flag up to remind me and maybe others, that we need to pray, but we also need to act. It’s also a reminder to those who think they have won that we aren’t done. Like Washington, we are going to do whatever it takes.

So, even though I get auto-responses, I sent emails to every single state legislator today regarding several bills they are considering in our state. I did the same over the weekend to Senators and Representatives. I hate Twitter, but I reactivated my account on Twitter so I can not only respond to some of the stupidity posted there, but so I can spread MY ideas, MY thoughts. Maybe one person will be influenced! Same for Facebook. I’m going to stop supporting businesses like Coca-Cola, Delta and teams in MLB and the NFL. I’ll be supporting small businesses in my area. I’ll be throwing the crap of the left back into their faces.

And, while I do, I, like Washington, will make an appeal to heaven for help and guidance. I’ll be God’s hands, feet, eyes and voice here on earth. And my flag will remind me of that.

Did you know that Airlines, Soda Companies, and Major League Sports are Leftists? Socialists? Maybe even Communists? I didn’t. I thought they were all about American ideals and freedoms. That’s how their companies and leagues grew and prospered.

But, I guess the owners of the MLB teams, including the Angelos Brothers who own the team I have followed for years, forgot that and wanted the All Star Game out of Georgia. All because Georgia’s legislature followed the process of voting for laws they wanted to follow in their state. It’s weird because the Commissioner of Baseball, you know, the guy who let the Astros cheat without consequences and keep a World Series trophy, announced this decision. It must really bother him that Georgia would want to PREVENT people from cheating in an election. The NERVE! It bothered him so much that he moved the All-Star Game out of Atlanta. Was it the fact that he is a racist and thinks that Black people are not capable of getting I.D.’s? Or does he just think that anyone should vote in our elections, citizen or not?

It’s just one more organization or company becoming “woke” and giving in to the Leftist agenda of Socialists and Communists. Add to the list Delta Airlines, American Airlines, and Coca-Cola. They no longer want to do business in Georgia. Hmmmm….

You know what, I’ve had enough of these idiots. How about you? Who the heck do they think they are that they can just extort states to follow a specific political agenda or face the consequences determined by private businesses? Do they fancy themselves the FOURTH branch of Government? Are they now the great moral arbiters of what people vote to do in their states? God help us if they are. Some of the business and sports practices they have a very shady.

I think they need some reminders of who they are and who supports them. First, let’s talk airlines. For some reason, airlines think they are moral entities who can chase people off flights for political beliefs, wearing shirts and hats they don’t like, and not being able to put masks on their babies or disabled relatives. I think Delta and American should remember that they require that EACH passenger has an I.D. to board their flight. Wow. How racist. I think they should also remember that as long as the country gives them subsidies for their businesses when times are hard, that HALF of the taxpayers who fund those subsidies are people who have different political views than the airline does. Maybe they shouldn’t take those subsidies?

Let’s talk Coca Cola. I’m sure that if you work at Coca-Cola, you need to show an ID each day when you come into corporate headquarters. That’s racist. What if one of your workers doesn’t have an I.D.? What if a person who is not one of your workers just wants to come into your offices and see what goes on there and what the formulas are for your drinks? What if they want to vote in a shareholder’s meeting? Why should ANYONE have to show an ID to come into that building? Wow, Coca Cola, you really hate people, don’t you.

Wait a minute, as I recall, isn’t it Coca Cola who was discovered funding medical and health research into the effects of soda on our bodies with grants to the CDC and several univeristies. The caveat was that Coca Cola could review and have control over any data and disclosure of results of those studies in case the data hurt Coca-Cola’s product images. They had the power to prevent publication of research.

Documents released through the FOIA give no conclusions that they exercised those rights, but the documents are HEAVILY redacted. They don’t redact publications that don’t have information someone doesn’t want seen.

It appears that Coca-Cola is not only hypocritical but doesn’t mind perpetuating fraud on their customers. Maybe they, like the Commissioner of Baseball, don’t like that Georgia is actually trying to PREVENT fraud in elections. Makes Coca-Cola look bad in comparison.

When it comes to professional sports, I would think they, of all the companies, would want to play nice with their cities and states since most of the stadiums in both leagues are paid for, at least partially, by taxpayer dollars. I know Camden Yards is. You would think they would be grateful and not want to piss off a hefty portion of those taxpayers. But, like the airlines, I guess they think we are suckers. And I haven’t even mentioned the enormous tax breaks teams get as well as their exemption from anti-trust laws.

I don’t think they really know who we are. Because I think we have had enough of this crap.

But what do we do? Well, the first thing we can do is write to those companies and let them know that we will be flying with different airlines, purchasing different drink products, and canceling our support of their teams. The NFL found out after all the kneeling and turning games into political affairs that losing a substantial number of your fans and viewers is damaging. The Super Bowl viewership this year was the lowest it has been since 1969.

If you must fly, choose another airline. If you have frequent flier miles, donate them to a charity. Yeah, I know that those airlines get credit for donating, but don’t donate without cancelling your frequent flier miles with that airline. Cancel your airline credit card as well if you have one. Also, I suggest that the next time you hear of the Federal Government voting on subsidies for airlines, write your representatives telling them to leave American and Delta out of the subsidies. Again, it probably won’t happen, but at least they will know people disapprove of those two airlines.

If you can and have flown on either airline, go to travel sites and give them negative ratings. Yes, I know it seems like lying, but sometimes you have to achieve your goals through less than stellar methods. And, honestly, I have flown with both Delta and American before and they suck. It wouldn’t be a lie to give them a bad rating.

For pro sports it’s simple. Stop watching. Stop going to games. Honestly, for as much as the players are paid and as much as it costs to go into the stadiums your tax dollars paid for, the games aren’t worth it. If you can, avoid watching on T.V. Go to high school games or collegiate games. They are not only a much better value but much more fun to watch! No overpaid babies prancing around pointing at themselves like gods. I got my baseball fix last summer by watching Korean baseball on T.V. They were cool to watch because their game is not only homeruns and the players aren’t stuck on themselves. It’s much more multi-faceted.

The next time a stadium referendum comes up, vote against it. I used to worry that my beloved Orioles would move out of Baltimore. Right now, I don’t really care. Let them go. Don’t buy their merchandise either.

This trend of companies making these decisions is effectively changing our country into a place where different opinions and freedom don’t matter. Sometimes, the CEO’s make these decisions without even knowing what they are protesting. The CEO of American Airlines said he didn’t even know what the decision in Georgia was about because he hadn’t read it. All he knew was what some lefty spin artist told him. He didn’t even have the integrity to check it out for himself.

It has come time for us to show these companies that their “woke” decisions are going to cost them. Support companies who don’t try to stifle the opinions of others. Give them publicity by sharing their sites on social media.

We have enough problems with government officials and social media trying to shut down free speech. We don’t need these other corporations doing that also.

Recently the White House started requiring any references to the Biden regime be posted as the ” Biden/Harris Administration” in all official letterheads, online etc. This is very unusual since administrations have always been called by the name of the President only. With Biden’s obvious mental and physical decline, people are obviously assuming that this is because Biden won’t be around much longer and the party wants to make sure when they transition to Harris, she will be seen as a competent replacement.

Some have said it is because she is a woman and they want to highlight her presence in the White House. Others have said it’s because ” she works really hard and deserves it.” The second reason doesn’t fly. I’m sure there are plenty of people in the White House that work really hard, but they don’t put their names on the letterhead.

Brad Staggs, co-host of MoJo50 Radio, called it a “rebranding” the other day, much like companies will join to names together when they merge. His example was FedEx/Kinkos Office. When the merger first happened, they kept both names. As it continued, the business just became FedEx. The logical reason for carrying both names initially is so customers will recognize that both companies are still in business. They will also have a comfortable familiarity with both names. That might be the case in the Biden/Harris regime.

I think there is another reason. I have said since day one that Joe is not destined to stay in office long. Whether he resigns for medical reasons or they force him out, I predict that he will not finish the term. But I also think he knows that. I think he made a deal with the powers that be and agreed to start the term and then leave. Thus, Kamala Harris was added to the ticket.

But why would he do that? Aside from him having the title of President for a while, I think the Democrats played to Joe’s personality and perhaps his mental incapacity, to get him to agree.

Biden has long portrayed and prided himself as a blue collar worker and fighter. But aside from the basic facts, Joe has been known to exaggerate and outright lie about his past, making up stories about fighting gang members ( remember Corn Pop?). being arrested in the 1970’s for attempting to visit Nelson Mandela, and his participation in the struggle for civil rights, none of which are true. But, at his advanced age, these stories could easily play into his current situation as we shall see.

Along with that, published psychological analysis has pointed out that Joe is gregarious and accomodating as well as cooperative and ambitious. In his current mental condition, many say that these traits have developed into him being easily manipulated.

So, imagine this. During that little break after New Hampshire, the Socialists develop a plan. They decide that Joe, despite his obvious incapacitation, is their best bet to get what they want. They appeal to Joe’s ambition as well as his desire to be a team player. They convince him to select a woman, Harris, as his running mate, making him the man to break new ground with a female Vice President, and one of “color” to boot.

Knowing that new Presidents often spend months just “making nice” with Congress and the American press and people, the Socialists decide they don’t have time for that. They tell him the agenda has to start from day one and they need someone to take unpopular measures immediately, despite the harm it might do to his approval rating. They appeal to Joe’s self image as a “tough guy” and “fighter.” They convince him to “take one for the team.”

It also makes sense to me that they let him know his tenure as President would be short. With his son Hunter obviously involved in abhorrent pedophilia and Joe himself participating in illegal extortion of a foreign leader in order to create a job for his son in a billion dollar company, it would have been easy to tell Biden that he would leave office when they told him, or he and his son would be prosecuted. What they needed from him was his willingness to take the heat for grossly unpopular executive orders to get them done quickly. Then, when the time was right, he would bow out due to illness or inability to continue in the job.

I can see them telling him that he will be celebrated as a brave martyr for the cause as he leaves; a man willing to do what it took for the people despite his weakened condition. Joe’s ego would love that!!! And they would assure protection for him and his family.

But what does this do for Kamala? Simply, it gives her plausible deniability. When she takes over for Biden, she won’t have to answer for all the crazy, harsh orders he signed. She had nothing to do with them. ( Except, wasn’t it her telling him to,” Just sign it,” when he asked what he was signing?) She can even undo some of the orders that were the most unpopular and radical. Then, she looks like a hero!

Kamala won’t get too cocky though. I’m sure the puppet masters will have her on a short lease. After all, they HAVE to have many incriminating pictures and info on her! And, if it can be proven that she and others knew Joe was mentally incapacitated when selected, that could be criminal fraud.

She will do as she is told.

So, for the Leftists, the goals they wanted have been accomplished, they don’t have to be accountable, and they have another easily influenced President who can be extorted to do what they want.

It will also give them the race and gender card to hide behind whenever she does something that many people don’t like. Like Obama, the press and Congress will handle her with kid gloves.

And Joe? Well, he’ll be back at home ( or a home) enjoying his commemorative White House rocking chair and blanket. He’ll feel like he completed his last heroic deed, destroying the country.
