The "Glories" Of Senator Robert Byrd, Mentor To J. Biden, Hillary Clinton -- And Many Others...

Who was Senator Robert C. Byrd, really?

When Sen. Byrd died on June 28, 2010, at the age of 92, he was praised up one side and down the other by many Democrats such as Hillary Clinton, J. Biden...

Some of the following information was gleaned from an article in Wikipedia...

"In the early 1940s, Byrd recruited 150 of his friends and associates to create a new chapter of the Ku Klux Klan in Sophia, West Virginia.^[10][12]

"As a young boy, Byrd had witnessed his adoptive father walk in a Klan parade in Matoaka, West Virginia. While growing up, Byrd had heard that "the Klan defended the American way of life against racemixers and communists". He then wrote to Joel L. Baskin, Grand Dragon of the Realm of Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland and Delaware, who responded that he would come and organize a chapter when Byrd had recruited 150 people. Byrd’s house couldn't fit 150 people, so he arranged to hold the ceremony at the home of C.M. “Clyde” Goodwin, a former law enforcement officer who lived in Crab Orchard, West Virginia. When Baskin called for nominations for Exalted Cyclops, the highest-ranking official in the Klavern, Byrd was nominated and quickly elected by unanimous vote.^[18]

"It was Baskin who told Byrd, "You have a talent for leadership, Bob ... The country needs young men like you in the leadership of the nation." Byrd later recalled, "Suddenly lights flashed in my mind! Someone important had recognized my abilities! I was only 23 or 24 years old, and the thought of a political career had never really hit me. But strike me that night, it did."^[19] Byrd became a recruiter and leader of his chapter.^[12] When it came time to elect the top officer (Exalted Cyclops) in the local Klan unit, Byrd won unanimously.^[12]

"In December 1944, Byrd wrote to segregationist Mississippi Senator Theodore G. Bilbo:

I shall never fight in the armed forces with a negro by my side ... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.

— Robert C. Byrd, in a letter to Sen. Theodore Bilbo (D-MS), 1944^[12][20]

"In 1946, Byrd wrote a letter to a Grand Wizard stating, "The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia and in every state in the nation."^[21] However, when running for the United States House of Representatives in 1952, he announced "After about a year, I became disinterested, quit paying my dues, and dropped my membership in the organization. During the nine years that have followed, I have never been interested in the Klan." He said he had joined the Klan because he felt it offered excitement and was anti-communist.^[12]"

Political expediency?  Sure looks like it...

But there's more...

"Filibuster of the Civil Rights Act of 1964[edit]

"Byrd joined with Democratic senators to filibuster the Civil Rights Act of 1964,^[35] personally filibustering the bill for 14 hours, a move he later said he regretted.^[36] Despite an 83-day filibuster in the Senate, both parties in Congress voted overwhelmingly in favor of the Act (Democrats 47–16, Republicans 30–2), and President Johnson signed the bill into law.^[37] Byrd cast no vote on the Voting Rights Act of 1965,^[38] and voted against the confirmation of Thurgood Marshall to the U.S. Supreme Court.^[39] He did not sign the 1956 Southern Manifesto and voted for the Civil Rights Acts of 1957,^[40] 1960,^[41] and 1968,^[42] as well as the 24th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.^[43] In 2005, Byrd told The Washington Post that his membership in the Baptist church led to a change in his views. In the opinion of one reviewer, Byrd, like other Southern and border-state Democrats, came to realize that he would have to temper "his blatantly segregationist views" and move to the Democratic Party mainstream if he wanted to play a role nationally.^[12]Byrd was a member of the wing of the Democratic Party that opposed federally-mandated desegregation and civil rights. However, despite his early career in the KKK, Byrd was linked to such senators as John C. Stennis, J. William Fulbright and George Smathers, who based their segregationist positions on their view of states' rights in contrast to senators like James Eastland, who held a reputation as a committed racist.^[34]"

(Three-and-a-half years later, I would be serving in Vietnam alongside my black brothers in

machine-gun bunkers, ride with them on convoys, and stand with them when under attack.

I didn't care about the color of the skin of my G.I. buddies... We were ready to fight and die for

each other, that's the bottom line...)

"Multiple political figures issued statements following Byrd's death:^[254]

• Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: "It is almost impossible to imagine the United States Senate without Robert Byrd. He was not just its longest serving member, he was its heart and soul. From my first day in the Senate, I sought out his guidance, and he was always generous with his time and his wisdom." ^[255]
• Vice President (and thus President of the Senate) Joe Biden: "A very close friend of mine, one of my mentors, a guy who was there when I was a 29-year-old kid being sworn into the United States Senate. Shortly thereafter, a guy who stood in the rain, in the pouring rain, freezing rain outside a church as I buried my daughter and my wife before I got sworn in ... We lost the dean of the United States Senate, but also the state of West Virginia lost its most fierce advocate and, as I said, I lost a dear friend."
• Democratic Senator Chris Dodd: "He [Robert Byrd] never stopped growing as a public official, and was a man who learned from his mistakes. He was more than a friend and colleague. He was a mentor to me and literally hundreds of legislators with whom he served over the past five decades."
• Republican Senator Lindsey Graham: "Senator Byrd was a valuable ally and worthy opponent. He will be viewed by history as one of the giants of the Senate."
• Republican Senator Orrin Hatch: "On the issues, we were frequent opponents, but he was always gracious both in victory and defeat. This is a man who earned his law degree while serving in the Senate, and who had a prodigious knowledge of ancient and modern history."
• President Barack Obama: "He [Robert Byrd] was as much a part of the Senate as the marble busts that line its chamber and its corridors. His profound passion for that body and its role and responsibilities was as evident behind closed doors as it was in the stemwinders he peppered with history. He held the deepest respect of members of both parties, and he was generous with his time and advice, something I appreciated greatly as a young senator."
• Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell: "Senator Byrd combined a devotion to the U.S. Constitution with a deep learning of history to defend the interests of his state and the traditions of the Senate. We will remember him for his fighter's spirit, his abiding faith, and for the many times he recalled the Senate to its purposes."
• House Speaker Nancy Pelosi: "Throughout his historic career in the House and Senate, he never stopped working to improve the lives of the people of West Virginia. While some simply bore witness to history, Senator Byrd shaped it and strove to build a brighter future for us all."
• Fellow Democratic Senator from West Virginia Jay Rockefeller: "Senator Byrd came from humble beginnings in the southern coalfields, was raised by hard-working West Virginians, and triumphantly rose to the heights of power in America. But he never forgot where he came from nor who he represented, and he never abused that power for his own gain."

Even some "Republicans" praised him to high-heaven... Pretty sick, right?

Not one single word or recollection of his Klan, segregationist, and anti-black American 

sentiments and actions, not one...

But look at the epithets hurled at President Trump: racist, bigot, etc., etc...

Do you see the hypocrisy here?  

President Trump must be re-elected, if Biden wins the White House, whatever is left of the 

Republic will quickly be dissolved...

Pray for our country...

Catholics: You Are Automatically Excommunicated, If You...

The Latin term: latae sententiae, means that a Catholic is automatically excommunicated from the Church...

This severe sentence, in effect, throws a Catholic out of the Church.  He or she cannot be readmitted unless and until one, not only repents of their grievous sin, but also abjures their heresy, or other grave offences against the laws of God.

Formal heresy, as we know, distorts or "changes" the truth to the point of a doctrine or teaching no longer resembling the truth.  Put simply, heresy attacks, not only the teachings of the Church, but also Christ Himself, as the Church is His mystical Body...

But there are other actions that can inflict the sentence of automatic excommunication, such as prescribing or taking a contracepting drug.  RU-486 comes to mind... Sadly, this drug -- along with others -- is used by far too many Catholic women today.  And if that mortal sin weren't enough, if the contraception fails, then there is the "legal" alternative of abortion, which again, far too many Catholic women make use of that "option."  

The barbaric, heinous, disgusting procedure known as abortion, incurs the sentence of automatic excommunication for any Catholic woman that procures the abortion, or any Catholic doctor or nurse that takes part in the bloody procedure.  The same holds true for any Catholic politician that advocates or supports legislation that perpetuates the continued practice of the killing of the pre-born with our federal tax dollars.

From Italy: "...published in L’Osservatore Romano, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has reaffirmed that “the Church’s teaching on procured abortion has not changed, nor can it change,” adding that:

“the Church attaches the canonical penalty of excommunication to this crime against human life. “A person who procures a completed abortion incurs excommunication latae sententiae,” (Code of Canon Law, can. 1398), “by the very commission of the offense” (Code of Canon Law, can. 1314) and subject to the conditions provided by Canon Law (cf. Code of Canon Law, can. 1323-1324). The Church does not thereby intend to restrict the scope of mercy. Rather, she makes clear the gravity of the crime committed, the irreparable harm done to the innocent who is put to death, as well as to the parents and the whole of society.”

I write this short article for any and all Catholics who label themselves liberal, or "progressive": You are jeopardizing your immortal souls for the sake of an errant ideology that emanates from the father of lies, satan..

Don't be deceived...

From The CDC... January 15, 2010: Up To 80,000,000 Americans Infected With H1N1...

Just over 10 years ago, the CDC reported that nearly 80,000,000 -- MILLION -- Americans were infected with the H1N1 flu bug...

The country was not locked down, and the economy didn't crash...

Ten years ago, about 375,000 people were hospitalized.

WHO: the number of deaths from confirmed 2009 H1N1 flu, a minimum of 18,449, but that number is regarded as well below the true total, mainly because many people who die of flu-related causes are not tested for the disease.

Even if 100,000 people perished from the H1N1, and 80,000,000 were infected, that indicates that the percent of people dying from the H1N1 is 0.1, or one-tenth of one percent.  

  

Again, the country was not locked down.

Today's number of cases in the U.S. from COVID-19 is about 2,741,841.  The number of deaths attributed to COVID-19 is reported to be 130,147.  In reality, the death count is misleading and subject to manipulation.  Why?  Because the CDC's own website states deaths confirmed or presumed from COVID-19.  In addition, the CDC's count is less than what the media continues to report: 112,700, not 130,147!!  

Even if true, the deaths: 112,700 from 2,741,841 infections equals about 4 percent!   

But there's more...

The media lists the number of recovered cases at about 850,000!   That figure is probably understated for obvious reasons...

Because of these data the country was shut down, and the economy crashed?  Is it possible that there was, and still is, a more insidious agenda here to topple the government and our duly elected president, and install a socialist/Communist system of slavery?  

Now we are told that there is an uptick -- a surge -- in COVID-19 cases, yet the number of deaths continues to decline nationwide!

On top of this, we have the radical anarchists destroying people and businesses in the name of George Floyd, due to a rotten cop.  And because of this, innocent bystanders are brutally beaten for no other reason than for the color of their skin? 

This weekend, we celebrate the nation's founding on the 4th of July, but many celebrations have been cancelled by weak town and city politicians afraid of their own shadows by capitulating to the so-called "black lives matter" Marxists...  

Appeasement never works, and never will, only strength and honor will defeat these murderous thugs...

Pre-Born Black Baby Lives Matter...

Pre-Born Black Baby Lives Matter...

Does this really need to be said, or written about?

Has the Natural Law and common sense been thrown into the dustbin of history, requiring someone to remind humankind that all lives matter?  Especially those tiny lives that cannot fend for themselves?

As an example, yesterday, July 1, 2020, the Missouri Supreme Court has decided that taxpayer monies have to continue to support the killing of babies in the last abortion mill in the "show me state."  The ruling was incredibly lopsided at 6 to 1.  Apparently, only one judge still maintains some semblance of sanity and humanity, regarding the gift of life given to us by God almighty...

The Republican, "pro-life" governor, Michael Parson, has decided not to appeal or challenge the ruling...  Thanks for nothing, governor.

The abortion "clinic" is located in St. Louis -- ironic, isn't it, that a city named after a Catholic Saint, King St. Louis IX of France, is the epicenter of the slaughter of the most vulnerable of our species?

I would bet that the majority of those babies killed in the St. Louis murder mill, are non-white, i.e., black.  My assertion is borne out by the fact that black Americans make up about 13-14 percent of the population, yet account for at least 34 percent of all abortions performed in our country!

I have one question: where is the outcry from the so-called "black lives matter" crowd?  Why aren't they protesting up and down Main Street, USA, calling out and demanding an end to the brutality involved in the dismembering or the chemical dissolving of their black brothers and sisters? 

They're nowhere to be found...

But!  They will purposely tear the country apart to implement their Marxist agenda, under the guise of protesting the injustice of "police brutality," knowing full-well that any opposition to their insurrection, whether from white -- or black -- Americans, will result in verbal, if not physical attacks.  

Add to this madness, is the weak-kneed response -- or none at all! -- from liberal mayors or governors, allowing mobs of thugs to roam the streets, burning, looting, and killing, both police and civilians; white and black...

I don't know where all this will lead, but one thing is for certain: there may come a time when the law-abiding citizen will have to protect, not only ourselves and our property, but also the very sanctity of life.  If the courts don't have the gumption to protect the little, pre-born babies, then we may have to...

Satan, the father of lies is alive and well...

Pray for our country, now more than ever...

Viva Cristo Rey!  Fr. Miguel Pro, pray for us...

"Trickle Down" Culture Of Death...

For those of my readers who are old enough to remember the presidency of Ronald Reagan, you might also remember the Democrats referring to Reagan's economic policies as "trickle down." 

Government economic plans can work from the top: the implementation of the policy; filtering down to those businesses who are the main source of new jobs and employment opportunities; to the employee; to his paycheck; to his buying; to more demand; to produce more supply, and so on...

Their characterization was not in the least meant to be complimentary.  It was meant to mock his policies to point out that they didn't work, but guess what?  They did in fact work to one degree or another, much to the consternation of the left.

That was in the economic realm.

Today, however, we have a much more sinister, much more heinous "trickle down" phenomenon: the culture of death.

It does start from the top -- from the highest court in the land. in the secular realm.   And from the very Chair of St. Peter in the Catholic Church; the extreme weakness in its human element, working its way down to the most common denominator of mankind: his uncontrolled, base passions.  The pope is doing nothing whatever to enforce church teaching in order to fulfill its mandate of the church: the salvation of souls.  Instead we are getting social mush that only gives aid and comfort to the enemies of Christ.    

These two elements come together to form a witches brew of sin and despair right out of the playbook of satan, the father of lies...

What is the next step in the "trickle down" if those passions result in the formation of a new life?

A failed contraception, leads inexorably to the termination of that new life, by the diabolical procedure known as abortion.   To show how far the court has deviated from the Natural Law and the right to life, the court has ruled that the killing of the pre-born is "constitutional." 

Notice too, that very same Supreme Court is presently comprised of five or six Catholics. (I say five or six, because Gorsuch at one point left the Catholic Church, and attended some denomination of Protestantism.)   But whether it is five or six Catholics, the point is that for some inexplicable reason, they have failed to apply their faith to their rulings.  

"Wait!" you say.  "There is separation of church and state!"

Actually, there isn't.  It is nowhere to be found in the Constitution.  The First Amendment is always sighted to "prove" it, but, again, it's not there.

I contend that even if it was in the Constitution, the justices on the court have not only betrayed their faith, they have betrayed the Natural Law (an extension of divinely revealed law from God) -- and have lost all common sense, to boot.

We also see the "trickle down" of the overall loss of the sanctity of life, not only in the killing of the pre-born, but also the brutal slaughter taking place on the streets of our major cities, especially those of Chicago, New York, Baltimore, and several others, making Afghanistan look almost peaceable in comparison...

Those cities, along with others, are, and have been Democratically controlled for decades, with failed economic and social policies depriving the law-abiding citizen his right to carry pistols or revolvers for self-defense, or for the defense of his family.  Their current policies allow the outlaw; the criminal to roam the streets killing almost at will, knowing full-well that he can get whatever weapon he wants for the right price.  Put that together with the insatiable appetite for drugs, and you have a recipe for disaster, as was witnessed this past weekend in Chicago: 60 people shot, and 16 killed, including a 10-year-old, and a one-year-old!   

What I have just described, is not an isolated occurrence, but one that happens almost every, single weekend. 

The city of Chicago has become an actual war-zone.  

The "trickle down" of evil, i.e., Antifa, the avowed Marxists, so-called "black lives matter," and their radical anti-life, anti-freedom supporters funneling many millions of dollars into their devilish cause, has created chaos and wanton destruction of life and property across far too many cities of our nation. 

The weak-wimps who call themselves mayors and governors of these radicalized cities and states are a major part of the problem, and are doing little to take back the streets and enforce the rule of law and order.  

Right now, the forces of evil, enshrined in what Pope John Paul II labeled "the culture of death," have the upper hand.  And unless and until the conversion of hearts and souls is accomplished by prayer and penance, little will change...

It could be that we are, indeed, living in the end times.  If this is so, it is up to us to hope and pray that our souls are in a state of sanctifying grace.  In the end, nothing matters more.  

Christ: "What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?"

The Lying Media Just Can't Get It Straight...

What is it they can't get straight?

Well, that would take an entire book to list all their lies and distortions of the truth.

So let's just concentrate on the so-called "pandemic" of the COVID-19 ruse...

As of today, June 28, 2020, the media list 127,495 supposed deaths from the virus.  But in reality, the CDC's own website says something very different.  In fact, they list 109,188 deaths.  Keep in mind of footnote number 1 which reads: Deaths with confirmed or presumed COVID-19.  

Why is this footnote important?  Because it leaves the door wide open, not only to misinterpretation, but also to manipulation.   That lowly footnote -- that few pay attention to -- can and is being used to perpetuate and continue fear and panic among the U.S. populace.

Just look at all those people you run into, daily, wearing face masks thinking that it will somehow filter out the Wuhan, COVID-19 virus.  

It can't.  

The virus is microscopic -- less than 1 micron in size, whereas the mask, even the N95 mask, can only filter out 3 microns.  In addition, it has now been proven that wearing a face mask quickly causes oxygen deprivation!   This is extremely dangerous to your health and well-being!   

Where have you heard that on the mainstream media?  You haven't.

And now, we are told that there is another uptick in cases, so wimp politicians -- even some so-called Republicans -- are starting to shut down -- again! -- certain businesses.  Businesses that were on the verge of bankruptcy in the first place, and may just have to close their doors permanently.  

The lies keep coming at breakneck speed regarding this "pandemic," and as those lies continue to be spread, and drilled into the heads of a gullible public, it becomes the "truth"...

I am totally disgusted with the loss of manhood and womanhood in this nation: the inability to question, research, and decide for oneself.  Instead, many are taking the easy way out; buying whatever the official narrative is as presented by the government or medical "experts".   

This is now a disaster, as if it weren't before... 

Add, too, the monsters who are looting and burning all in the name of "justice" and "equality," and you have mayhem and the loss of the will to fight back to preserve our American way of life, including the freedom to worship our good God.  And that is the end game, to remove God and family from our minds and hearts!

Make no mistake, there are not only Marxists in the streets, they are in the Congress and the Senate of the United States of America!  It's just that they wear three-piece suits and dresses.

The complicit media are part of that group who would like nothing better than to see the Republic topple to the ground as they applaud the toppling of statues of our heroes or historical figures...

Be prepared for what may be coming down your main street!

God save the Republic!

The Wall, Part 1...

Included on the Wall in Washington, D.C., are the names of one-hundred-eleven U.S. Air Force Security Police who died during the protracted Vietnam War...

I am a former U.S. Air Force Security Police NCO who served in Vietnam from December 16, 1967, to December 16, 1968... 

The following is a brief introduction and initial incident that forced me to grow up very, very quickly...

The commercial jet that was chartered by the U.S. government to fly us over the "pond" (the Pacific Ocean) landed at Cam Ranh Bay during the daylight hours...

After processing in-country, my brothers and I boarded a C-130 troop carrier bound for my first assigned base at Tuy Hoa (pronounced: two-e-wa)...  Riding in the "30" was not like flying in a passenger jet.  The seats were all lined-up on each side -- in other words, we all faced each other across the isle.  We had to sit in an almost reclining position with a belt to hold us half-way securely...  

By the time the "30" hit the tarmac at Tuy Hoa, it was pitch black.  The flight-line was crazy noisy, and smelly from all the plane and jet exhaust.  

What caught my attention though, was the sight of huge, red tracer rounds flying through the thick, humid air, and ricocheting off the rocks and boulders of the foothills off to the west air base.  This was nothing new, I was to find out later, but the usual "harassment fire" to disrupt any nighttime movement of the enemy (the VC and NVA) attempting to reinforce and resupply their comrades.  The big .50 caliber heavy machine-guns were being fired from an army base two short miles to our south, housing a brigade of the 173rd Airborne Division. 

Those .50 caliber tracer rounds shocked me into a reality: "...well, I'm really here in Vietnam!"

I was no longer reading about the war in some stateside newspaper, or hearing about it from the "6 o'clock news."  I was really in the thick of it, and I would be for an entire year.   What I didn't know is whether or not I would make it back home the following December; or, would the American Red Cross knock on the door of my parents' home in New Jersey relaying the news of my death?

After I, and my fellow cops settled in, the next couple of days were completely occupied with additional weapons training, including the LAW anti-tank shoulder-fired rocket, the M-60 machine-gun, more paper-work, as well as getting assigned to our respective units...  

Mid-December quickly morphed into January (1968), things were pretty quiet at Tuy Hoa except for periodic reports coming over our radio of other air and army bases being "hit" -- attacked -- either by mortar, rocket, or ground assault by Charlie (VC) -- or all three!

It was common enough while on the perimeter during the night, to see battles being waged in the distance, between Army Special Forces and the VC or even the more organized NVA (North Vietnamese Army).  Tracer rounds flying at each other, and "Spooky" the gunship putting and end to the commotion by spraying the ground with thousands of rounds of machine-gun fire from his Gatling guns firing up to 6,000 rounds per minute.  A sight that I would never forget, especially when confrontations got just a little bit closer to the air base...

That's just what happened in the wee hours of January 30 into the 31st -- the Vietnamese New Year...

I was in an observation tower (Oscar Six) with a "short timer" -- who had less than 30 days until he was scheduled to return to the "world" -- the U.S. 

Things seemed usual as the Vietnamese were celebrating the new year with "fireworks" -- tracer rounds flying upward into the night sky; green and red flares for additional fun, about four or five miles directly in front of our big tower.

As we were watching the festivities, those red tracer rounds stopped going up into the air, and now were fired at each other! 

There were no longer any green flares (all clear), only red flares -- which meant enemy contact!

From this point on, things went downhill at break-neck speed.  

The tracers and flares, along with explosions started creeping closer to our position...

The South Koreans were directed to start "walking in rounds" (105 Howitzer cannon rounds) toward the air base in an attempt to force the enemy into a trap -- a pincer strategy -- between the South Vietnamese Army, the U.S. Army helicopter gun-ships, and the air base. 

As the battle raged, the prospect of being directly involved, grew more probable with each passing minute...  

I set up my M-60 machine-gun with an extra belt of 100 rounds; locked and loaded; said and extra Hail Mary, and waited... My short-timer tower-mate turned to me and said: "DeLalla, I sure am glad you brought that "60" up here."  "Me too," I replied...

 At first, we could see and hear the damage being done to the real estate, as dirt, grass and old rice paddies were being blown to smithereens several miles out from the tower, but as the 105 rounds -- and the enemy force -- drew closer to QL1 (the main north/south highway in central Vietnam), the entire base readied for what seemed to be an inescapable battle heading our way...

In no time at all, the 105 rounds were exploding on our side of the highway, so close that we could feel the heavy shock wave hit the tower -- and us.  The massive artillery barrage continued unabated and the prospect of us getting through the night unscathed seemed to fade from our thoughts...

To be continued...

Viva Cristo Rey!  Fr. Miguel Pro, pray for us...
