You all must read this article from lewrockwell.com, written by Jon Rappoport...
This truism is often used when referring to the sport of football, but it is also true when serving in the military -- especially in a war zone...
Forgive me, but I will use that military analogy, again, to make a point of what is going on in our world today, and, more specifically, in our beloved country...

When I was on the perimeter, in the dead of night, in Vietnam, we were, for all intents and purposes, in a defensive position.
My bunker-mate, or my observation tower-mate, had the big M-60 machinegun locked and loaded and ready to make any enemy attackers pay the price in their attempt to penetrate American soil...
If attacked, our tactics did not allow us to leave our bunkers and move forward to engage in combat with the VC, or NVA attackers, but to stand fast at our position; there was no choice...
Yes, it was a defensive position, no doubt about it.
The same would hold true if rockets or mortars were fired over our heads -- or at us, as did happen to me and my ammo feeder on one heck of a scary night...
But! If and when there was an ground attack -- the most terrifying of all scenarios -- our job would quickly morph into an offensive operation, by necessity...
How?
By the use of overwhelming fire-power and the immediate increase of ground and armor forces to engage and repel the enemy. Without those enhanced forces, the battle could very well be lost; that was not an option for us as a unit, nor for me personally...
The battlefield, however, is not the only instance where the best defense is a good offense...
Take, for instance, the current "battle" going on regarding our rights as a free people, in our Republic -- founded by those men who realized that a monarch, 3,000 miles from our shores, could not force us to become slaves to unlawful, illicit dictates that violated the Natural Law and our consciences...
But that is exactly what is happening today; right now, on Main Street, U.S.A...
Whether anyone wants to admit it or not, the man that occupies the Oval Office on Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C., is a fraud! Not duly elected, but installed by those evil men who are determined undermine our Republic, and turn it into a land that is not free, and not the home of the brave...
What is the end goal of such anti-freedom God-haters? Their agenda is becoming more clear with each passing day: to make loyal Americans submit to the likes of the new-world-order elites through intimidation, "vaccines," fear-mongering and the ultimate goal of brainwashing John and Mary Q. Public, into being afraid of their own shadows. If successful, the next step is the registering and eventual confiscation of all fire-arms; make no mistake, both are related... If that huge roadblock can be overcome, then implementing their diabolical agenda will, most likely, become a horrible reality...
******
The best defense is a good offense...
Can, or will it be peaceful? That's up to the Marxist traitors; in all instances, our response must be equal to, or greater than the force used against us...
The ball is in their court... we will not submit!
Pray for strength and honor!

Let me say right up front: Anyone who was in favor of going into Afghanistan 20 years ago, should have their heads examined to see if there was, or is, any grey matter left in the cranial cavity...
Also, let us take a look at the main reason -- continually shouted from the housetops -- for invading another sovereign country: to get the "mastermind" of the 9/11 tragedy, Osama Bin Laden... You know, the guy living in a cave many thousands of miles from New York, yet he and his cronies trained, equipped and snuck the twenty or so Jihadists into our country to "successfully bring down the Twin Towers" in N.Y.C, accomplishing maneuvers that some experienced pilots claim were nearly impossible. Not to mention the alert jets that were scrambled to intercept the errant aircraft, but were somehow diverted or told to "stand down." In this country, it is the civilian government authorities that give the orders to the military, whether the military likes it or not, they have to obey, that is, up to a certain point...
Tons of articles and at least a book or two have been written about Obama getting Osama, that is, if you can believe the narrative of the leftist government lackeys; I don't...
Does anyone remember "Osama's body" being disposed of at sea, without a single photograph to show to the American people that it was Osama??
What I do believe are the results of "9/11" and the aftermath: restriction and loss of our basic liberties -- all for what?? -- keeping us "secure"? (Check out what Ben Franklin has to say about giving up liberties for "security".)
Over the last couple of days, all the American blood, sweat, tears and treasure has gone all for naught, as the "pro-American" Afghan government has fallen to the Taliban bad guys... And, no, this is not the same as what occurred in Vietnam, and those who make such comparisons are grossly ignorant of the facts of that war and the way it was fought, especially of what went on behind the closed doors in the White House situation room... For a good book on the subject, I would recommend The Lost Mandate of Heaven, by Geoffrey D.T. Shaw...
(As an aside, just a couple of months after President Diem of South Vietnam, and his brother were assassinated, President Kennedy was assassinated. All parties were Catholic!! But that was just a coincidence, of course...)
The sky is not falling, at least not yet, but Afghanistan has fallen; was there ever any doubt that it would after we invaded that land? I believe it was Alexander the Great that was strongly advised not to try to attempt to conquer Afghanistan; he took the advice and didn't. But the Russians tried, back in the 1980s and were driven out... We could've taken the hint, but we didn't...
The military-industrial complex got what it wanted; the American people were the big losers, and we are not any safer than we were before "9/11," in fact, we are much less secure now, not because of any external threat, but threats from within our own country; that too was planned...
Pray for strength and honor!

Remember the political thriller movie: The Hunt For Red October?
There was a scene where the wounded executive officer asks his commander; (I'm paraphrasing here...) "can I travel from one state (in the U.S.) to another; do I have to show "papers"? The commander replies, "no, in the U.S. you don't have to show "papers" to travel where you want..."
That was a great movie depicting the longing for freedom, even among those Communist elites who realized that their, anti-freedom, anti-Christ ideology was dooming the human spirit to destruction and that there was a better way to live their lives by defecting -- to America!
That movie came out around 1990...
Let's look at what is happening here, in our beloved Republic: the illegitimate miscreant holding the White House hostage, is proposing "papers" for American citizens for interstate travel!
I will repeat that sentence: the illegitimate miscreant... is proposing "papers" for American citizens for interstate travel!
Let me ask a simple question: is this America, or Amerika? Are we a free people, or are we a Marxist-controlled, enslaved population?
I'm a veteran of two branches of the military and a Vietnam veteran... I will not submit to showing "papers" to anyone; ever! I will fight for my freedoms and for that of my family. If anyone thinks that I will not fight, they are making a huge miscalculation...

Since I am registered with the Veterans Administration for my health care, I receive updated e-mails about various goings on at the VA and associated clinics. The VA is "encouraging" all veterans and their care providers and family members to get the covid jab. The other day, the e-mail I received sounded much more ominous, regarding getting vaccinated with the so-called covid "vaccine," suggesting that all veterans get the jab as soon as possible. I suspect that future e-mails will soon indicate that I will have to get the "vaccine" in order to enter the hospital for health care.
I had a feeling that this would be coming, and I think it will happen much sooner rather than later. At that point I will have to make a decision to either drop the VA altogether, or see if I can get a "religious exemption" from my priest. I also have a feeling that if I do get something in writing from my priest, it still will not make a single bit of difference and they (the VA) will insist on my taking the shot.
Think about it... I served with honor in Vietnam, and now I will be subject to being forced to do something against my beliefs -- and science, for that matter?
I don't think so.
As I have said more than a few times now; sadly, I no longer recognize by beloved country...
I thought my readers might like to read the words of our National Anthem... I don't know about you folks, but when I hear the National Anthem, I get teary-eyed; here are the words (but they're more than words to me...).
"Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
"On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner: O, long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
"And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash'd out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
"O, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand,
Between their lov'd homes and the war's desolation;
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserv'd us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!"
******
(I trust that you may have used a tissue or two after reading those words??)
Don't give up! The battle is only beginning...

In wartime, treason is punishable by death, in most cases.
In "peacetime," treason should land a person or persons in federal prison for the rest of their natural lives.
The current policies of the fraudulent Biden regime are outright treasonous, especially when we look at what is going on at the southern border: an invasion of illegal aliens, not only from Mexico, but also from numerous countries from around the world.
So get the idea out of your heads that we are being invaded by Mexicans only, we are not. In fact, many aliens are from Africa, Asia, the Middle East, as well as other third-world hell-holes, trying to escape from their miserable lands and experience freedoms that they never had... But there are others who are entering our country for much more sinister reasons... And I'm not just talking about talking jobs away from Americans, sure that's one reason, but what I'm concerned about -- and my readers should be very concerned too -- is that there are criminals and anarchists intent on doing their evil deeds once they get a foothold on our soil...
This has been proven time and time again. As an example, during President Trump's term in office, there were many "sting operations" that took place just below the radar screen, capturing and sending to jail or deporting brutal gang members, such as the deadly MS-13 murderous lunatics, as well as human smugglers, especially those who traffic in females that are eventually sold into sex slavery. But you almost never heard of those successful operations directed by Mr. Trump, at least not from the mainstream Marxist lackeys doing everything they could to attack Trump and his accomplishments...
Today, the country is under siege by those faithful, not to the American people and the Constitution, but to our enemies from without, and from within!
The goal of these traitors is to transform -- reset? -- our way of life; our freedoms; our very human rights given to us by our Creator, and enshrined in the Natural Law, and morph our nation into a socialist, Marxist nation of slaves under the direct control of elitist bureaucrats, sucking the very life-blood out of our minds, hearts and souls. Such a scenario is almost too gruesome to imagine... As in a nuclear war, those survivors will envy the dead... These traitors hate God and those who fear Him... Simply stated, they serve Satan and his minions rather than their real Master, our Lord, Jesus...
So, what role does Catholic Charities play in all of this??
First, let me say that the handle "Catholic" is a misnomer, and should be removed from this organization, just as it should be removed from universities and colleges that label themselves as Catholic, but in reality, they are no such thing because of their direct opposition to authentic Catholic Church teaching on faith and morals... We have all heard the horror stories emanating from some of these institutions that make us cringe, especially fostering those sins that cry to Heaven for vengeance! Let's call this for what it is: apostacy...
Second, the Catholic Charities organization are letting themselves be used -- as useful idiots -- unknowingly -- or knowingly? -- carrying out the plans of the traitors in the federal government and what they are trying to accomplish at the southern border and beyond.
(As Judas betrayed our Lord with a kiss, so too have "Catholic" Charities betrayed all that is good for the sake of the evil one and his diabolical agenda...)
******
When I lived in Southern California, back in the late 1970s and early 80s, I used to go jogging quite often only a mile or two from the border with Mexico... On more than one occasion, I came across illegal aliens -- sometimes entire families -- scurrying through the brush and entering American soil... I also witnessed "coyotes" packing their vehicles with men, women and children and driving them into the interior of San Diego county and beyond... You would not believe the number of people that were crammed into those vehicles!
Fast forward to very recently, when I saw a video of a Catholic Charities driver cramming uncountable children into his station wagon, and attempting to drive off... He was stopped by concerned citizens, afraid that these children would eventually be used and abused as so many are... This disgusting event is still going on by the so-called "Catholic Charities" and other entities guilty of betraying our country and doing the dirty work of the filthy traitors in the White House...
Don't ever donate a single penny to "Catholic" Charities!!! Instead, donate to those priests and pastors who are loyal to America and true JUSTICE for all, not the phony egalitarianism being pushed by the modernist commies in the church -- and in our behemoth, federal bureaucracy, headed by a mentally deficient, Communist sympathizer...

I am not the originator of the phrase: As the church goes, so goes society, but I use it quite often in my articles because it is a truism...
In light of that fact, it can be determined that today's progressive agenda in the public school system is due to a lack of preaching -- from the housetops, that outside the Catholic Church, there is no salvation for any human creature... Or, the lack of preaching from the pulpit that a morally depraved life can, and will, lead to perdition (hell).
Why the silence from our shepherds?
Who are these shepherds? Are they really the successors of the Apostles of Christ??
What is their goal?
If what we hear coming from the writings and speeches of pope Bergoglio is any indication, then we know what that goal is: to transform the Church of Christ into a non-descript, relative organization that will, or, has already capitulated to the spirit of the age. We can also say that it has, or, is fulfilling, the so-called "spirit of Vatican Two"...
We can also blame the secularists who are supposed to be our elected representatives, as well as the liberal court system that has decimated any vestige of God or religion in the public schools. Add to this moral disaster, was the devastating, and deadly decision by the Supreme Court in 1973, Roe v Wade, that made the killing of the pre-born "legal"...
I have also written in previous articles, that if all the cardinals, bishops and priests -- and laity -- marched down Pennsylvania Avenue the day after the slaughter of our precious pre-born brothers and sisters was said to be found somewhere in the Constitution as a matter of "privacy," then that decision would have been almost immediately made null and void by massive protests and jail-time for those clergy willing to put their lives on the line for the little ones...
Think about it: we would have another 60+ million, moral and God-fearing Americans helping our nation to prosper and grow, as well as bringing us closer to our final destiny: the Beatific Vision of Christ, our Lord in the heavenly beatitude. By the way, that is the true responsibility of all government!
But that march never happened...
What a monumental difference the annihilation of the pre-born has made in the way we look at life... Which includes the dramatic decrease in the sanctity of life, which has led to other forms of moral deviancy, such as rampant -- and now recognized -- homosexuality and "marriage"; the moral turpitude of so-called "sex-education" for our school children, and that includes being pushed in some "Catholic" schools as well... another endless list can be written here...
And now we have "parents" trying to change the sexual direction of their girls to boys, and boys to girls! What an eternal price these lunatic "parents" will have to pay at their Particular Judgement; whether they believe it or not, it will happen...
I cannot believe that parents who have children in the public school system, and now even in some "Catholic" schools, keep them enrolled and see them graduate completely brainwashed about God and country... Parents would do well to get them out of there, pronto, and home school. The destiny of their immortal souls is at stake -- and so is yours!
We are bombarded and surrounded every day with matters that seem to be overwhelming, but never give an inch! We have a Champion on our side: Christ, our Lord, and His Most tender Blessed Mother, Mary to intercede for us... What a winning combination!!
The days of the demon are numbered, and he knows it!

With all the craziness and madness going on in society, especially here in the U.S., under the fraudulent "presidency" of the Biden regime, why would I bring up the horrible massacre that took place in Las Vegas back in 2017?
If we look closely, we can see that many incidences are somehow connected, and when it comes to what are labeled mass shootings, there is usually other circumstances and facts that lurk just below the surface. When these circumstances are examined more deeply, one can come to the conclusion that something just doesn't smell right...
Take, for instance, the assassination of President Kennedy on November 22, 1963...
I was a junior in high school at the time, and when the news hit the airwaves, I was visiting a buddy at his house exploring his coin collection, comparing his, to mine. As I was searching through his Mercury dime collection (isn't it funny how lots of folks remember exactly what they were doing when the news hit?), the phone rang... It was my friend's father calling from downtown where he worked... He told my friend, Paul, that the president had been shot... Paul then relayed that info to me... For some reason, he said that his Dad was making a bad joke about the president... I continued looking through Paul's Mercury dime collection...
After a while, I started walking back home...
Some girls, who just got off the school bus from the same high school, asked me if I had heard anything about President Kennedy being shot in Dallas (Texas). At that instant, I realized that Paul's father was not joking, and something terrible had happened, not only to our country, but also to our faith in those elected to represent us and secure the commonweal...
As time went on, there was a commission formed to investigate the murder of our first Catholic president, and to come up with some answers, such as, did Lee Harvey Oswald act alone and kill the president from the Texas Book Depository, firing several shots from a bolt-action rifle?
Or?
At the conclusion of the Warren Commission report, the distinguished members of that commission, reported that Oswald did, in fact, fire the bullet(s) that took the life of President Kennedy, as well as wounding the Governor of Texas, John Connally.
That bullet became known as "the magic bullet"... There were several reasons for that infamous handle, and many articles and books have been written about the so-called "magic bullet," but suffice to say, there are some who believe that there was more than one bullet, and even more intriguing, is the possibility that there was more than one shooter who did that dirty deed...
Again, many articles and books have been written about that possibility too...
Fast forward to the night of October 1, 2017, and the country music concert that was held in a sprawling parking lot on the Las Vegas Strip...
Beginning around 10:05 p.m., Stephen Paddock, a 64-year-old man from Mesquite, Nevada, opened fire... After the shooting stopped, nearly 60 people were dead, and hundreds of others were wounded...
(I would suggest, that at this point, it would be a good idea to reach into your closet and get out that tin-foil-hat; sit back with a nice glass of wine, or a Coke, and read the next few lines of this article...)
One of the most dramatic pieces of evidence that was almost completely ignored by "law enforcement," as well as "news" outlets, were some of the audio recordings -- that I heard with my own ears -- as things were happening in real time...
I will report to my readers now, that I have exceptional hearing; always have, even to this very day... I know what I heard...
On one damning recording, I heard additional quick-firing semi-automatic weapons, or a slower version of full-automatic shots being fired from different locations. As the lunatic in the hotel stopped to reload, I distinctly heard other shots being fired in quick succession from some of those other locations! In fact, witnesses who reported same, were silenced and, in some cases, threatened if they didn't keep their mouths shut.
So, what is going on here??
Was this another group of Americans being sacrificed for more sinister reasons than that which is told to a gullible, and, in some cases, brainwashed populace ?
What happened to those independent investigators and the results of their inquiries?
Have the families of those killed and wounded given up their quest for justice and the truth of what actually happened on that terrible night?
The grisly scene in that parking lot was too much for some survivors to take and I'm sure that some folks literally lost their minds...
Look, the point that I'm trying to make here, is that there are people and agendas that are almost too evil to even write about. Those conspirators will do anything to carry out that agenda, regardless of the cost to their fellow citizens, whether the loss of freedoms, or even the loss of life itself...
We have to look no further than what is occurring in our country at the present time with the likes of the present Marxist regime in the White House and in the majority of the Congress and Senate... But what makes matters even worse, are the Republican traitors that go along to get along with -- who, or what, exactly?
Our Lord tells us in the Bible, that by their fruits you will know them. In fact, He said that twice in one paragraph. That tells me He meant business, and that we sheep had better heed what He said or else we (the Elect?) just might be devoured by that roaring lion, seeking whom he can destroy...
As I have written many times, our Lord tells us to pray for our enemies, but we are also told to keep our lamps filled with oil, so that when the Bridegroom comes, we will be ready to meet, and greet Him and rejoice!!!
Pray for strength and honor!
Viva Cristo Rey! Bl. Fr. Miguel Pro, Fr. Emil Kapaun and Fr. Vincent Capodanno, pray for us...
