Dead In The Water (DIW), Or, Taking On Water (TOW)...

  As some of you may know, I was in two branches of the military: the U.S. Air Force (police), in the mid- and late-1960s (and a Vietnam veteran), and the U.S. Coast Guard, in the mid- and late-1970s (search and rescue radioman/communications specialist) at the Group C.G. base in downtown Boston, a stone's throw from the District HQ, close to where the Boston Celtics used to play before they moved to their new digs...

When I was manning the communications center, on my 12-hour shift, depending on the time of year, I dealt with various and sometimes life threatening situations that demanded quick, knowledgeable, and correct action in order to effect a successful rescue and save lives.

I was not alone while on duty, as the Duty Officer (DO) was "right next door" in the DO's comm center, separated by a huge, sliding glass door.  I guess you could say, the DO was my "right-hand-man," but in reality, I was his "right hand man," at the controls of several radio frequencies that had to be monitored at the same time, as well as two teletype machines, a "monster" of a recording device, an emergency activation system for the alert boat crews, and numerous other duties which I will get to shortly...

I should add that the DO was usually a high-ranking enlisted man, up to and including Master Chief Petty Officer; he had his own little room about 15 feet from my radio room, equipped with a bed, a TV, etc.  He was allowed to sleep during the dead of night so long as things were quiet on the high-seas, or in the vicinity of the inner or outer harbor (Boston, Ma.)...

The alert boat crews were down the hallway about 50 feet or so, where they too were allowed to sleep during the overnight hours if things were quiet.  If things "went south," all I had to do was to push a button and those guys would fly out of their beds, awaken by an ear-splitting alarm bell!  Of course, I'd have to bang on the DO's door, get him up and quickly fill him in on the situation.  

I loved my job, even though at times it was harrowing; testing my voice, mental and prioritizing skills when making split-second decisions, not unlike other first responders...

Sometimes, things would go from boring -- catching up on paper-work and other administrative duties, including routing messages to ships moored at the base, or taking in messages from those very same ships -- to all-out chaos in seconds when a distress call -- MAYDAY! -- would come across the emergency radio frequency: channel 16... 

It should be noted that there was a Radioman Supervisor that was over the watch-stander, lower ranking "sparks" -- the term that all radiomen were given, as there were three "bolts of lightning" above our chevrons (stripes, if referring to to the other services), but when the "sup" went home after his day-shift, it was our baby.  One interesting aspect of being in control of the radio room, is that we (myself and the other radiomen) had enormous authority and power to tell mariners and others on the water, what to do and how to do it!  I liked that authority, though neither I, nor any of my fellow radiomen ever abused that power.  In fact, we had the authority of the First District Admiral, Commander of Base Boston, the Captain of the Port and the DO assigned for that day.

Some of the commanders of the four lifeboat stations under the command of Group Boston didn't like the fact that they had to go through us lower-ranking radiomen in certain situations... Too bad...

I remember well, the very first distress call that I handled after being "broken-in" by a more experienced radioman... It was a DIW; with no immediate danger to the captain or his crew -- mostly, family members...

After that initial bit of nervousness, I was ready for the "big time" mayday calls... And brother, did they ever pour in, especially during the summer months or during severe storms, when fishing boats called for assistance many miles from the safety and comfort of the inner harbor and terra firma...

During my three-and-a-half years at the Group Boston C.G. Base, I was involved in many life and death situations that demanded immediate action and assistance from our great rescue boat crews, C.G. helicopters and ships.  And we had some of the best of all the rescue stations along the entire Eastern Seaboard...

One of our coxswains, a slight throwback to the later "hippie" days, was in charge of one of our 41-footers... He found a boat lost in dense fog in short order: the call came in to me; a few minutes later, he was located safe and sound!  I figure that coxswain had the nose and hearing sense of a bloodhound!

Of course, there were many serious distress calls and rescues... Most of the time we, or some brother mariners, would effect a rescue even before the C.G. boat could come on scene.  In fact, those brother mariners knew that if they were in a similar situation, they too would hope and pray for a quick rescue regardless who effected it!  

"Coast Guard... Mayday, I'm taking on water (TOW)..." A potentially scary call...

The first question I ask: "Are you in immediate danger?"  Sometimes yes, and sometimes not so immediate, depending on many factors, including the severity, if any, of the weather...

Or, how about this: "Coast Guard, Coast Guard, my boat is on fire, Mayday, Help!"...

This captain was in dire straits... 

I ask him: "Captain, how many SOBs (souls onboard)?"  He answers: "Six, including my family!"  I ask: "Do you have your life jackets on?"  He answers: "No!"  I order him: "Get your life jackets on and call me back asap!"  In less than thirty seconds, he calls back to tell me all members now have their life jackets on...

Me: "Captain, get off the boat, swim away, and huddle together; our rescue boat is on the way!"

This is what happened next...

The boat burned down to the water line, but did not explode!  Even before our great rescue crew arrived, a civilian mariner pulled those wet and scared folks out of the water to safety... 

And that's how fast events can happen; from boredom to chaos, not in minutes, but in seconds, with lives in the balance...

I just wanted to relay these two incidents that occurred on my watch... There were many more and some ended in the loss of life...
I will never forget those whom we couldn't save... I leave them in God's merciful Hands...

Pray for strength and honor!

PS: One more thing... Is our country "dead in the water," or is it "taking on water"... I'll let you decide.. If you have a comment, please let me know what you think -- and why.

 

  

  

The Roman Empire Lasted Nearly 1,000 Years! The American "Empire": 250 Years, Maybe?

  The FDA is fast-tracking the "covid" "vaccine" for 5-year-old children.

What does that have to do with the title of my article?

If women are losing their babies after getting the untested, filthy jab, and women's menstrual cycles are being disrupted, with the potential of eventually causing infertility, then the next step is to make, infertile, the present generation.

With fertility and birth rates already at the lowest of the Western countries, the last nail in the coffin of the American empire is about to be hammered in by the new-world-order, anti-Christ globalists, with the useful idiots in the medical, governmental, and ecclesiastical establishments, knowingly assisting in their diabolical plot.

The evidence is now overwhelmingly apparent and can no longer be denied...

It should be noted that the overwhelming majority of those who have died with -- not from! -- covid, have died in hospitals and nursing homes, all part of the conspiracy to deprive life and liberty of their patients by using deadly protocols instead of protocols that have been successfully used for decades!  In essence, the "doctors" and hospitals have become money machines when it comes to "treating" those with co-morbidities mixed with some strange bug and weakened immune systems from rotten diets and unhealthy lifestyles.  A true witch's brew for disaster.  But the medical and pharmaceutical monopolies continue to get away with outright murder, furthering the diabolical depopulation agenda worldwide... 

                                                  ******

Abortion, contraception, homosexuality, euthanasia, and now infanticide, and the near total destruction of the holy state of matrimony, is hastening the evisceration of the family unit -- the primary building block of society.  The evil one knows that if he can take out the family, he has won the battle for the human race.

The nation cannot survive without continued vigilance and defense; without being willing to sacrifice for our families and our neighbors.  The American dream is fading away right before our eyes because of apostate "Catholics" who love evil and despise good -- the direct opposite of what we are supposed to strive for...

The bloody battles going on through the courts right now, regarding something that should not even be questioned -- the right to life -- is the restricting and abolishing of the heinous act of abortion -- the gruesome destruction of the most innocent of our species: the pre-born baby.

Our nation cannot be blessed with the mass murder of these little ones.  Our nation cannot be blessed with the inversion of the Natural Law.  Our nation cannot be blessed with the suppression of our right to worship God almighty the way He demands that we worship Him.  Our nation cannot be blessed when males "marry" males, and females "marry" females, is now a constitutional "right".  Our nation cannot blessed when a weak and compromised clergy capitulate to Caesar's demands at nearly all levels (where is that so-called "separation of church and state," by the way??).

And the Church cannot be blessed, nor survive when the Vicar of Christ -- a title now renounced by Bergoglio, the Bishop of Rome -- has joined the Protestant "Reformation" (Revolt!) as well as earth worship with Pachamama and dirt "altars"... The Blessed St. Peter must be spinning in his grave...

I have listed just some of the threats to our Republic that come from within, but there are also many threats from without, especially the demonic communist regime in Red China, where, by the way, the faithful Catholics have been sold out by "the Vatican," with the 2018 "agreement" brokered by Bergoglio, sending the homosexual predator, McCarrick, to ink the deal, throwing those loyal to Christ, under the bus.  But appeasement never works, and this treasonous gut-punch will boomerang -- with divine intervention, perhaps?

Tie this together with the imposter-puppet holding the White House hostage, and we have another recipe for national disaster.  If America as we know it, doesn't survive, I can only hope and pray that there will be a Remnant, an Elect that will stand strong in the faith of Christ, our Lord, and enjoy His final victory over the father of lies, Satan. If we have to enter the catacombs, as did our early brothers and sisters in the faith, so be it...

But!  There may be some light at the end of the tunnel, as resistance and peaceful uprisings are increasing all across the fruited plain!  

Stay tuned!

Pray for strength and honor!

Is Rome Now The Center Of Idolatry -- In A Formal Rebellion Against God?

 This is almost becoming too much to bear, that is, for a Catholic who treasures his faith and tries to live a sanctified life by following the perennial teachings of the Church and the Deposit of Faith...

What is going on in "the eternal city," is nothing short of demonic!  

See my articles regarding the bizarre actions of the bishop of Rome, Bergoglio, here: Is The Bishop Of Rome, Bergoglio, Pro-Life?

And now, I must report that Bergoglio is -- again! -- calling for no borders or walls, and that sovereign countries should no longer be sovereign; should no longer protect their borders; should welcome all immigrant aliens regardless of their intention to cause upheaval of society; to fight -- at all costs -- "climate change," etc...  

And how is that diabolical goal to be accomplished?

Well, it seems he, Bergoglio, has opened the doors to population control, and we know what that means: contraception, abortion, euthanasia, homosexuality (two men or two women cannot reproduce), and, of course, dramatically change the way people live and work in order to "save the planet"...

The earth is the new god; Pachamama is the high priestess in this blasphemy against the rule and Kingship of Christ our Lord.  This will surely lead many more millions of souls to hell...

See this article from Breitbart.com...

Pope Francis: Let There Be No More Borders or Walls to ‘Hide Behind’ (breitbart.com)

This sick capitulation to the radical globalists is almost beyond comprehension for the supposed leader of over 1,000,000,000 Catholics, most, I'm afraid, are in name only...  

What is the number one reason for the Church in the first place?  The salvation of souls, not adopting to the spirit of the age, or worse, the deadly spirit of Marxism and modernism (the synthesis of all heresies).

The faithful, the Elect, the Remnant have to fight all enemies of the faith; all enemies and threats to the salvation of our souls, regardless from whence they come, whether from a dark, back ally in a slum of an inner-city, or from the Vatican...

Who Said This?

 "We are surprised by the processes taking place in countries that used to see themselves as pioneers of progress. The social and cultural upheavals taking place in the United States and Western Europe are, of course, none of our business; we don’t interfere with them. Someone in the Western countries is convinced that the aggressive erasure of whole pages of their own history – the “reverse discrimination” of the majority in favor of minorities, or the demand to abandon the usual understanding of such basic things as mother, father, family or even the difference between the sexes – that these are, in their opinion, milestones of the movement toward social renewal."

(In other words, towards communism!)

President Putin of Russia, that's who...

Is The Bishop Of Rome, Bergoglio, Pro-Life?

 A few "Catholic" crumbs from Bergoglio that mean absolutely nothing...  See my previous article here: The Real Agenda Of Pope Francis, And Recognizing Its Evil Fruits...

The continuing sell-out of those who believe that life begins at conception and ends with natural death -- Church teaching! -- according to the dictates of our Creator, Jesus Christ, not those of evil men, is once again, made manifest by the actions of the supposed pope Bergoglio.

(Just as the 2020 election was stolen from President Trump, the election for pope Bergoglio was a stacked deck; signed, sealed and delivered by the "St. Gallen Mafia".)

If you need more evidence of this diabolical sell-out by Bergoglio, then please read this article from lifesitenews.com: Pope Francis appoints population control activist Jeffrey Sachs to Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences - LifeSite (lifesitenews.com)

This is nothing new for this pope... His track record is despicable when it comes to supporting the right to life of the pre-born.  Sure, the "crumbs" -- his words -- he throws to the Catholic world are directly contradicted by his actions.  I urge you read to the article from lifesitenews.com, and see that the pro-death Sachs has been roaming around the Vatican for many years of the current pontificate, spewing his evil aims to reduce the population through any means available; contraception, abortion, euthanasia, as well as the filthy, deadly "vaccines," now, aimed at our children!  Sticking the arms of adults wasn't enough, I guess...

The attack on innocent life by Sachs and his minions -- and there are many! -- is a crime against humanity; justice demands that this must be stopped!

I have only one thing to say: Christ told us that we have to pray for our enemies... Sometimes, this is very difficult to do, but we must do it!  So, pray for the Bishop of Rome, Bergoglio, that the Holy Ghost will convert this weak-willed, fallen man to orthodoxy, Tradition and the Catholic Faith.  Personally, I don't want him to spend eternity in hell, just the opposite, I can assure you...

Pray for strength and honor!

"Saint" John Paul The First??

  Get ready!  

The assembly-line, saint factory continues to work overtime, adding a third shift, to pump out another "saint" in the novus ordo church.

There is a move afoot to canonize another "saint," this time, it is John Paul I, who occupied the Chair of St. Peter for 33 days!  Thirty-three days, then, the evil powers that be decided he was getting too close to  exposing the massive corruption of the always-troubled Vatican Bank, as well as exposing the filth of the Satanists that have infected the church since the 1920s and 30s after being recruited by fellow Communists to enter the seminaries and destroy the Church from within...

Supposedly, JPI died of a heart attack.  Really?

But let's look at the requirements for a person to be considered for sainthood in the Catholic Church... Frist, there is no longer the need to prove that three miracles are attributed to his/her intercession, only one!  Second, the "devil's advocate" no longer exists!  This is most important, as it eliminates any adverse or contradictory evidence of the miracles or virtue of that person.  And, third, the investigation of "heroic virtue" of that person is very subjective, especially when it comes to the conciliar and post-conciliar popes -- and those who do the "investigation".

I ask: why the rush to raise these popes to the altar?  To sainthood?

Who or what is really being canonized here?

Is it the man, or is it the Second Vatican Council?

The modernists always refer to, or use Vat. II as the source of all Catholic teaching -- and novelty! -- completely ignoring, for the most part, the dogmatic Vatican Council I, or the dogmatic Council of Trent.  It's as if those dogmatic councils never existed!

That is all part of the game-plan of the Marxist/modernists -- and the "St. Gallen Mafia" to take down the Church... 

Was John Paul I a good person?  Was he a good man?  Most likely he was, but should he be canonized a saint after one "miracle," and after so short a period of time?   

Pray for strength and honor, and for a quick demise of the novus ordo disaster...

It's Confirmed: Communists Occupy And Run Our Government...

 Did I really have to write the obvious?

How many Americans are walking around completely taken in by the official government narrative, whether it is a faux virus, the explanation as to why there is a massive supply chain backlog, or why there is a huge increase in gasoline prices, etc.?

How many Americans are still walking around wearing face diapers -- and sticking those filthy things on their own little kids! -- buying into the lies of the CDC, NIH, and the likes of the traitor, "Dr." Fauci, who, it has now been proven, that he is one of the globalist, population control freaks that created a a strain of a bug that has caused fear among the populace.  In addition, new information has just been revealed that Dr. Frankenstein supervised grossly inhumane experiments on dogs, allowing maggots to literally eat those puppies alive!  But for what reason?

Could this new revelation be just a distraction for the crimes against humanity that Fauci and his anti-Christ cohorts are responsible for releasing havoc on the world?  His lies before the Congress and Senate are so blatant and yet this apostate "Catholic" has gotten away with perjury, at least for the time being.  Let us hope and pray that some measure of justice will prevail, and he and his criminal cabal will spend the rest of their natural lives in a federal penitentiary.

The fact is, is that such miscreants are only parroting what their Marxist bosses are allowing and encouraging them to do.  In other words, their diabolical actions against the citizens of the U.S. are planned to weaken the will of those unwilling to think and research and decide for themselves what is the best for them and their families.  For now, it is imperative not to get that compromised and potentially deadly "vaccine" that it is now confirmed to be causing hundreds of thousands of "events," but also deaths, hidden by the bought-and-paid-for mainstream leftist media.

Ever since the Biden regime took the Oval Office hostage, the actions of his handlers have been to destroy our freedoms as well as the economy at the behest of his masters, the Communist Chinese.

Witness the immediate halt to the XL pipeline, this, along with a moratorium on offshore oil drilling, has led to gas prices increasing by up to $2-3 dollars a gallon, hurting those who use their vehicles to get to work, that is, if they still are able to work if they're not "vaccinated"... Where is the outrage?  Where is the non-stop "news" crews interviewing angry drives filling up their tanks, as was done years back when a Republican was president, and the price went up 5 or 10 cents!?

Their plan is working -- for now, that is.  But those who are still able to think and breathe, are beginning to resist and protest those tyrants attempting to steal our God-given freedoms.  But will they have the determination to remain a free people, or will they (that means us) succumb to the constant hammering of the evil doctrines of Marxism (including evolution as well as race-baiting, creating division and hatred among the citizens)?

Those in power are serving their master, the father of lies, Satan.

I fear for those young and growing families, and their ability to sustain their faith in God and provide sustenance during this time of constant attacks on the family unit -- one of the most important ways the demons use, is through a wrecked economy as well as forced vaccinations...

If the enemies of the human race cannot cause infertility or sterilization in the current crop of faithful mothers and fathers, then surely they will attack the children with the filthy jab that could very well cause infertility in those innocents down the road... Again, this is all planned by the traitors in the government, both at the local, state and by the centralized, behemoth, multitentacled federal bureaucracy.

As the church goes, so goes society, and the current regime in Rome has emboldened the crop of anti-life communists that are running and ruining our country -- and the world -- to implement their diabolical agenda... 

Pray for their defeat -- and their conversion!

And pray too, for strength and honor...
