Do the elites care about you?

A question of the ages.  But the answer is simple: no, they don't care about you, or me.

As an example, if they can produce robots to replace those who depend on a job to support their families and pay their bills, they will do just that. If you or I get in their way and pose an obstacle to their agenda, we can be "taken care of."

This is no exaggeration.  One horrible example can prove my statement; it concerns many holistic doctors, both men and women, who provided alternative avenues to conventional methods and treatments for many debilitating diseases, meeting with more than just a modicum of success.  And because of that success, over 100 of these medical doctors, as well as PHDs, have been killed.  The façade is that many of them committed suicide, or were killed in traffic "accidents."  

I don't buy it, and neither do the families of those who were "taken care of," buy it.

It seems apparent to me, that when a system is bucked -- a system that is worth uncountable billions of dollars -- then those who have a stake in that system will do whatever it takes to protect that source of revenue at all costs.    

How many of these elitist globalists even believe in God?  I would venture to say that few, if any, do.  And because of that, their intellects are darkened as to what the Natural Law demands of all humans: God-given common sense.  Without that, it becomes easy to invite the demon into their slothful lives, opening up their wills to do more and more evil.  Once the soul is in a state of grave sin, it becomes easier to compound their nasty deeds regardless of the cost to their fellow human beings.  Hence, the superrich acquire more and more wealth to foster an agenda that betrays societal norms in favor of their intended end: socialism.  A monstrous and despicable sin against the reign of God, and the creatures He created in His image.  Make no mistake, they believe, not in God, but in themselves, as "god."

Think about it: Christ said that without Him, you can do nothing, and that includes breathing.  Without the beneficence of God, you would stop breathing, in other words, we owe our very breaths, our very lives to our Almighty God.  Yet, the evil among us continue to breathe, to continue to do their evil deeds, causing suffering of those "beneath" them.  The reality of evil, and how it thrives, is a great mystery.   How and why does evil perpetuate itself in society in general, and in our lives in particular?  Again, this is a great mystery, to those who have fear of the Lord, but to those who believe not, there is no accountability, no one to answer to, for their demonic actions, yet they too, will, in the end, face the Just Judge, then they will answer for their misuse of the talents and wealth they have accrued either by legal or illegal means, as well as the misery they have inflicted on their fellow neighbors. 

Do the elites care about you?  No, because they are not of God...

Pray for our country, and pray for the conversion of those that hate us.

Death and mayhem in Chicago continues unabated!

Horrible death and mayhem in the city of Chicago continues unabated.

The following information is from a CNSnews.com article with statistics provided by the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Sun-Times...

Here are the up-to-date statistics:

Since the beginning of the year, 2,530 people have been shot in Chicago, according to the shooting and homicide data maintained by the Chicago Tribune. 

Further data, collected by the Chicago Sun-Times, shows there have been 469 homicides in Chicago so far this year -- 408 of those deaths resulted from shootings. Another 30 homicides were caused by stabbing and another 31 deaths were caused by "another type" of violence. 

Despite these crimes, a new YouGov poll shows that nearly half (45%) of Chicagoans say gun violence is "not a problem." Fifty-one percent say it is "a problem."  [The brainwashed liberals cannot see the forest for the trees!!]

For the 408 shooting deaths so far this year, 340 of the victims were black, 19 were white, and 46 were Hispanic, according to the Sun-Times. 

For the 30 stabbing deaths, 20 of the victims were black, 4 were white, and 6 were Hispanic. 

In the other 31-- "another type of" -- homicides, 16 of the victims were black, 5 were white and 8 were Hispanic.

For the 340 blacks that were killed in a shooting, 312 of the victims were men. 

Overall, for the shooting deaths in Chicago this year, 83.3% of the victims were black. Among the stabbing victims 66.6% were black.  Among the other types of homicide, 51.6% of the victims were black. 

End of information from the article...

How much longer will this be allowed to continue??   

If the civil authorities are unable or unwilling to stem this terrible tide, then the feds should send in the troops to "search and destroy" the bad guys, or at least get them off the streets and throw them into prison for life.  

Why is this happening in the first place?  The answer is almost too simple: The breakdown of the family unit; the rejection of the Natural Law, and ultimately, the rejection of God Almighty.  When people fall into this diabolical trap, they become as the animals in the jungle where survival of the fittest becomes the supreme law of the land.

Stay tuned for further updates on this ongoing disaster...

And always pray for our country.

Caravan, mob, call it what you will...

Anytime now, thousands of illegal migrants will attempt to cross our southern border and enter the United States of America.

This cannot continue to happen.  That's right, continue.  Because "caravans" have been coming across the border almost on a daily basis.

This is nothing new.  I can vouch for that from my personal experience.   You see, back in the late 1970s, up until the mid-80s, I lived in the very southwestern edge of California, between Chula Vista (where I attended Southwestern Community College), Imperial Beach and San Ysidro, prime entry areas for the illegals.  As an aside, Coronado is a short drive along the beach where the Navy Seals train; you can see the skeletons of helicopters they use for some of that special, and very arduous training.  

I used to jog along an area that led up to Brown air field, an elevated mesa that was sparsely populated, but has since been built up as many of the local "bedroom" communities of San Diego have been somewhat overdeveloped -- nothing new for Southern California.

My jogging took me along a farming area where tomatoes and other crops were grown.  In fact, I used to see the crop dusting aircraft spraying those very same tomatoes that folks bought in the supermarkets, probably unaware of the chemicals being used to grow those "perfect" veggies.   One day, while running along one of my favorite routes, the crop duster nearly covered me with a Monsanto concoction of chemicals; I can assure you that I hightailed it out of that place as quick as my big feet could carry me!

But one of the scenes that I witnessed quite often were the illegals sneaking across our border, some with entire families in tow, along with border patrol officers riding horseback as well as driving 4-wheel drive Jeeps in an attempt to stem the tide of those illegals.  But worst of all, were the "coyotes" -- unscrupulous, human smugglers packing people into cars or vans right smack in the open and near housing developments where children would often play.

That was then...

How many millions, yes millions, of illegals have come across our border since that time and before?  I can only guess; some say 11-12 million.  That figure is far too "conservative."  I would venture to say that if you multiply that number by three, you would be much closer to reality, and that's no exaggeration.

This mess is not only the failed past policies of Obama, or even Bush (1 & 2), but goes way back to the 1970's and early 80's when the "progressives" in the House and Senate approved legislation that allowed for far too many loopholes in the immigration bills that became the current laws on the books.   Even Ronald Regan signed some of the worst legislation ever invented by the Left.  These "loopholes" allow for "anchor babies" -- babies born on American soil automatically becoming American citizens, as well as "chain migration" -- relatives of immigrants already in-country coming in simply because they are the relatives of those immigrants!?

And now we see these "caravans" (some are saying they are acting more like mobs) heading up toward the U.S. from several Central American countries, coming through Mexico, with many being men in age from the late teens, on up.  And recently, gunfire erupted from some of those in the "caravan" aimed at Mexican police along the way, as well as setting fire to one of the facilities in one of the southern Mexican states.

At first, President Trump indicated that some in that "caravan" were gang members as well as Middle-Easterners as well as potential terrorists, and other shady characters.  For that, he was roundly castigated as being racist -- how much more racist can he be, as the news media hurls that epithet at our president almost on a daily basis?

It turns out that corroborating evidence has proven him correct in his estimation.  What the media seem to forget, is that the president is counseled by his advisers with confidential as well as classified information that allows him to make important decisions concerning threats to our nation's security.

For far too many years, presidents didn't have the guts to secure our southern borders, and now that Trump is fulfilling his constitutional obligations, he is labeled racist, etc...  The hypocritical irony here is that Obama and Bush, at times, sealed the border when there was a potential, imminent threat to our security, but in time, relaxed that prohibition, allowing the continued flow of illegals into our sovereign nation.

Trump has called up Army troops, and may add more as time and circumstances indicate the necessity of same.  Again, he is being labeled a racist and more...

I truly hope there is no bloodshed as the "caravan" gets to the southern border near San Diego, but we'll see...

Two more things: 1. There is the question of just where all the money is coming from that is financing these thousands of illegals, providing food, water, clothes, medicine, etc.  And 2. The people in these caravans (there are several now) are already illegally -- in Mexico!  With the Mexican authorities unable, or unwilling to take the heat to stop them at their southern border...

Amazing!

Pray for our country...

Why is the American flag being flown at half-mast?

When I went to my local post office to pick up my mail this morning, I noticed that Old Glory was flying at half-mast.  The postmaster happened to be behind the counter, so I asked him why?  He said: because of the shooting in Pittsburg (referring to the terrible killings of nine people at their Synagogue).  

I uttered something unrecognizable under my breath...

But if our Flag is to be lowered to half-mast for nine people killed in a Synagogue, then why isn't the Flag always lowered to half-mast for all the people killed in Chicago -- every week???

This past weekend -- "Halloween weekend" -- 43 -- that's FORTY THREE people were shot and 5 -- that's FIVE were killed outright in Rahm Emmanuel's "windy city"!!

That clown, by the way, will be resigning shortly, thank the good Lord!

Let me repeat: every weekend in Chicago, nearly a dozen people are killed in the streets by the murderous thugs that run drugs and deal in death, many of those killed are "collateral damage" innocents -- as that jerk Nancy Pelosi used that very term recently.  That's right, for anyone that disagrees with the hard-left, liberal agenda, there just might be "collateral damage."  That sounds like a threat to me; how about you?

The violent Left is responsible for the words and actions of the anarchists, spewing their hate and malice toward anyone attempting to "conserve" traditional values, including, first and foremost, the right to life.

So, if the Flag is to be lowered because people are killed, then just keep the Flag lowered all the time until the Demonrat controlled cities return to God-given common sense.  But that might be a chore, since far too many are outright atheists who believe in nothing but themselves, and their "party" and their agenda.

Sound familiar?

Pray for our country -- please!

A HERO in our midst...

Many years ago, I was a prolific blood donor.  I did it for several reasons: 1. to help others survive, and, 2. for vanity's sake.  Yes, I admit it.  I wanted to get to a certain number of donations: 10 gallons.  And I did!  (See, another vainglory admission.)   But I would like to think all that "effort" was for the first reason, as my first donation was in 1966 while in the Air Force Police.

As the short story goes, one of the children of a brother was in St. Jude's Children's research hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.  He had undergone surgery in an attempt to stem the spread of his cancer.  The hospital needed to replace quite a bit of blood that was used for the child, so a bunch of us cops volunteered to be driven down to Memphis -- after a long midnight shift -- still in our combat defense fatigues (without weapons, of course), to do what we could to replenish the used-up, precious blood supply.  I'm sure some of us dozed-off on the long, 70-mile-ride from our base in the northeast corner of Arkansas; a "small" Strategic Air Command (SAC) base a stone's throw from the Missouri border.

I remember that we were treated to a fried chicken dinner in the dinning area; one of the best I ever had!

To be honest, I don't remember the outcome for the little fellow, but I hope that our donation at least helped the hospital somewhat...

Blood donors were advertised as "quiet heroes" back in those days,  I'm pretty sure they still are, and they should be...

But I'm not writing this little story for more of that vainglory, and, no, I'm not the "HERO in our midst".  I'm writing this little anecdote to point out a real hero, a lady friend of ours, who has been diagnosed with stage three cancer in various areas of her body.  This special woman is a devoted and faithful Catholic, wanting nothing more than to live and to be with her family for years to come.  She is, however, resigned to God's will, not hers.  But she also wants to give witness to some of her family members that have fallen-away from their precious faith.

She is hoping that her family members will rally round her, and come to see just how important it is to "keep the faith," and win that special crown promised after a relatively short race on this earth (paraphrasing the apostle to the Gentiles, St. Paul).

This lady and my dear wife are very close, I am too, but it seems that women can have a special bond that we men can't fully understand.  I guess that's the way the good Lord made us; a little different here and there!

In conclusion, I would ask all those who may know who I'm talking about, and those "strangers" to pray for, not only this fine lady, but also for some of her immediate and extended family that they might recognize the importance of being earnest in the faith, and without that faith, we (they) will lose the race; that immortal crown...

The great St. Paul, pray for her (and us)…

And pray for our country..

The make-believe "Catholic" Church continues to implode and self-destruct.

Some truths are self-evident; meaning, they cannot be denied or challenged because the data are staring you right in the face.

Such is the case with the make-believe "Catholic" Church: the new "Catholic" Church of the current reigning pope.

I never thought that I would see the day of the unravelling of my dear Catholic Church.  But I must take heart and not fall into the trap of thinking that what we see coming out of Rome, out of the Vatican, is, indeed, the unshakeable, indivisible, divinely founded real Catholic Church of Jesus Christ.

It isn't.

What has happened is occurring because of the turning away of a properly formed intellect and a soul full of divine, supernatural faith.  Without that element plugged into the equation, something will be lacking.  Sure, the men at the top, and even the "lowly" parish priest may wear the Roman collar, but a rotten tree can only produce rotten fruit.  And that tree will eventually die, or be cut down and thrown into the fire, leaving nothing behind for posterity except for its own ashes to be scattered about by the whim of the breeze blowing helter-skelter...

But the question begs: why all this disorientation; confusion?

The answers are becoming more plain with each passing day: an unnatural -- homosexual -- lust, which leads to a perversion of moral values; the turning of the Church into a cause celeb for social issues, e.g.: extreme environmentalism, and the tossing the of its primary mission: the salvation of souls.

When was the last time you heard this pope -- or your local parish priest, for that matter -- preach on the dangers of sin, and the road that leads to hell?

When was the last time you heard your parish priest condemn contraception and abortion?

When was the last time you heard your parish priest tell you that if you committed or participated in any mortal sin, you must go to Confession before you receive Holy Communion?

Can we can then presume that we are "okay" where we are; don't worry, you're fine; you're not going to hell; everyone goes to heaven anyway; just accept Christ as your personal savior; baptize your baby?  No need, let your child choose for himself what to believe, etc., etc., ad nauseam...

But those Catholics who hold the true faith know the truth and the answers to the questions I rhetorically asked...

Nearly 1,600 years ago, there was the Arian heresy.  So widespread was it, that about 85 percent of all the bishops in the world, not to mention the local priests as well, fell into that horrendous error.  There was a heroic, faithful bishop by the name of Athanasius who defied that monstrous heresy, and became known as "Athanasius against the world."  He was excommunicated numerous times by the Arian bishops (that meant nothing), but only he has the august handle of "Saint" in front of his name.  What we see happening today is worse, much worse, in my opinion.

"They" might have the buildings, but we have the Faith.

What we must do: remain faithful to (sacred) tradition (not the tradition of men); seek out faithful priests who perform the Traditional Latin Mass -- stay away, at all costs, from the new order "mass."  Pray the Rosary; be able to discern what is binding on our consciences as opposed to the opinion of the hierarchy; and pray, yes pray for a miracle that the current pope may do God's will, not his own will, or the will of the demon.

And pray for our country.

Scene from my book: Oscar Six hit with B-40 rockets!

There was a sudden blast: flame and shrapnel, wood and sand from the three-foot walls of Oscar Six... Gregg was hit... I was knocked down.  I knew I had wood splinters sticking in my left hand... shrapnel had penetrated the upper right part of my helmet.  I felt something warm flowing down between my right eye and ear, but I had no time to stop firing...

...I could now give Gregg some medical attention.  ...the bandage... was already partially soaked with blood -- my blood... Gregg was moaning in pain..."For the love of God, help me"!  With the small GI flashlight I saw Gregg's right arm was dangling, held in place by his uniform only!  There was blood all over the floor of the tower... rounds continued to pepper...the front wall of the big tower.

Some VC were right under the tower...firing up through the wooden floor...I hastily pushed Gregg into a corner of the tower and fell back, trying to cover my face and head with my arms, fearing a round would soon hit my buttocks, legs or worse...

The VC were obliterated by [machine-gun] Bunker 24...

I grabbed the radio: "Oscar Six, Gregg is down; need the corpsman now!"

...Oscar Six was out of commission. We were weakened and bloody; we were nearly out of ammunition.

After what seemed like another eternity, Chuck and a corpsman reached Oscar Six...

When Chuck and the corpsman pushed open the heavy wooden door to the tower cubicle, they came upon a scene worse than any Friday night, inner-city emergency room.  It was tough just to keep from slipping on the floor, now covered with spent shells and blood from Gregg -- and me.

An urgent call... to the commander of the 173rd Airborne for MASH-type triage units... entered Tuy Hoa air base at the south entrance near Oscar Three... they arrived and relieved me of my task of applying direct pressure to Gregg's nearly severed arm.  I fell back in the corner of the bullet-riddled tower... but soon realized that I too had lost a fair amount of blood...

Gregg was still somewhat conscious and heard Chuck's voice.  As if by instinct, Gregg reached out and grabbed Chuck's hand...

I wanted to see Gregg return home in twenty-seven days... ...the triage personnel and the corpsman struggled to get Gregg down the bullet-holed and tattered ladder... I now felt more at ease knowing that Gregg was now out of this man-made hell.

As I began to think somewhat more clearly, I could hear the distinct sound of a powerful propeller-driven aircraft... circling about two-thousand feet above Oscar Six.  ...It was Puff, the gunship, waiting for orders from commanders on the ground.

Its three, six-thousand-rounds-per-minute Gatling guns... could fill every square foot of ground with a 7.62 full metal jacket, armor-piercing round... bringing death to anything in its path.

End of scene.  Order my book from Amazon: The Battle for Oscar Six.
