Free Thought

Many American Presidents have done at least one good thing for America.  President Ronald Reagan was one of them.  He gave us Rupert Murdoch, who then gave us Fox News.

I hear cries of heresy all around.  Millions of Americans are reacting to what I just said by filling our nation’s cities with murder and mayhem.  With what America’s rulers call mostly peaceful protests.

Let’s pause.  Let’s give the flaming police stations and courthouses time to finish burning and then cool.  Let’s give the looted stores time to re-stock their shelves or shut their doors forever.  Let’s give social media time to modify their algorithms, to cancel any person who mentions Ronald Reagan.

Okay, now let’s resume.

There is only one question for deplorables and non-deplorables alike.  If it’s fine and dandy for every politician and pundit to claim that fiction is fact, why isn’t it fine and dandy for Fox News to do the same (as alleged by America’s rulers)?

I’m still waiting for Barak Obama to close Guantanamo.  I’m still waiting for the photographs of Hillary Clinton landing under sniper fire in Bosnia.  I’m still waiting for CNN and MSNBC to admit that Hunter Biden’s laptop is not Russian disinformation.

Richard Nixon hated The Washington Post.  America’s rulers hate Fox News.  No ruler of that ilk wants to be exposed.  But exposing is exactly what the Fourth Estate is supposed to do.  And no network does it as reliably as Fox News.

If Fox News lied as much as America’s rulers claim, America’s rulers would spend all day every day publishing proof of the lies.  But they don’t.  Because they can’t.  Because the alleged plethora of lies doesn’t exist.  It’s America’s rulers who tell lies.  Lies made up out of whole cloth.  Like when they declared that parents who complain to their local school boards are domestic terrorists.

When Fox News began, I couldn’t stand to watch it.  I thought it was inaccurate and un-American.  I did not believe a Deep State exists.  I did not believe the Fourth Estate is an arm of the Democrat Party.  Boy, was I wrong.

Thank you President Ronald Reagan.  Than you Rupert Murdoch.  Thank you Fox News.  Thank you Tucker Carlson.  Thank you all, for your brave patriotism, for exposing the truth.

Fox News is our best hope for truth, justice, and the American way.

On October 21, 2021, Attorney General Merrick Garland testified under oath before the House Judiciary Committee.

Phil Rizzuto’s play-by-play commentary would be “Holy Cow!”

Imagine hiring a former Supreme Court nominee (albeit an unapproved nominee) to be the Chief Security Officer for your home.

Imagine your Chief Security Officer telling you he has no idea how many of the many intruders to your home are being prosecuted for breaking into your home.  Imagine him reporting your mother to the FBI for being a domestic terrorist, the only reason being that the employment agency that got him his job told him to report her.  Imagine his son-in-law getting a financial reward for every book that every intruder left on your children’s bookshelves that teaches your children to judge people by the color of their skin.

America’s chief law enforcement officer is no different than your Chief Security Officer.  Merrick Garland’s testimony was exactly that.

Holy Cow!  But, wait a minute.  Stop.  Don’t react without thinking.  Think.  Was Merrick Garland’s behavior any different than that of anyone else who rules over America?

No.  Absolutely not.  Not a single one of America’s rulers hesitate to make one thing clear.  One very important thing clear.  Crystal clear.

At every opportunity, in every way possible, the people who rule America proudly demonstrate the fact that they rule America.  That they are above the law.  That they can do whatever they want.  That they are entirely unaccountable.  Why else would they flaunt behavior they know would incriminate or shame anyone else, if caught?

America’s chief law enforcement officer showed America that he considers law enforcement to be political gamesmanship.  America already knew that, but hearing it directly from the Attorney General’s mouth while testifying unabashedly under oath … well, that’s truly something existentially different.

Merrick Garland crossed the line.  It’s unacceptable for any Attorney General to behave as he behaves.  Completely unacceptable.

Merrick Garland’s Memorandum dated October 4, 2021 outraged Americans.  It explicitly set the FBI against all parents in our nearly 14,000 public school districts.  It explicitly says parents expressing themselves non-violently at school board meetings “runs counter to our nation’s core values.”  (During his October 21, 2021 testimony, he ultimately admitted parents do have a constitutional right to do so.)  His Memorandum is his legacy.  It defines who he is.  It defines who the rulers of America are.

On July 4, 1776, America’s Founding Fathers signed the Declaration of Independence.  It’s primary author was Thomas Jefferson.  An inspirational memorial to him is in America’s capital.  He wrote:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government”.

With the 2016 Presidential election, the Declaration of Independence #2 began.  Murder and mayhem became the order of the day.  Lawlessness took control of America’s institutions and cities.  The media modeled itself after Pravda.  The lessons of Martin Luther King, Jr. were cancelled.  Racist lost all meaning.  The Deep State came out of the closet.

The coup de grâce came on October 18, 2021 (245 years after the Declaration of Independence).  The New York City Public Design Commission unanimously voted to remove the statute of Thomas Jefferson from the City Council chambers in City Hall.

The forces behind the Declaration of Independence #2 proudly declare their actions to be exactly what the Declaration of Independence says: “whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new Government”.  They proudly declare their “Right” to “institute new Government” that they define and they control because they know best about everything. Everyone else is evil. Everyone else must be silenced.

We the People of the United States of America proudly declare the opposite.  We are a nation of laws.  E pluribus unum.  God bless America.  Of thee I sing.  One nation under God.  I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.  The Constitution.  The Founding Fathers.  Separate but equal is unconstitutional.  One person one vote.  I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.  Rejected: At birth, White and Black babies are not the same.  Rejected: I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.  Rejected: All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.

We the People now often ask a question: Is it too late to save America?  My answer is simple: It’s too late only if We the People say it’s too late.  There’s only one Declaration of Independence.

The consequences of America’s investment in China’s Covid-19 research are devastating.  America’s investment has killed more than 4,000,000 around the world, including more than 700,000 in America.  Nobody disagrees with any of these facts.

However, there is disagreement among the scientific community and the political community about the pros and cons of taking the Covid-19 vaccines.

People who rule Americans’ lives insist that “Follow the science” is synonymous with “Take the vaccine”.  They insist that any person who questions the vaccines is a Domestic Terrorist who must be cancelled.

Medical experts at prestigious medical institutions who express a contrary view do so at their own peril.

Should Americans unquestioningly trust and rely on what is said by the people who rule their lives?  Are people who question the vaccines really Domestic Terrorists?

Well, there’s a lot of hyperbolic rhetoric filled with certitude blasting from the mouths and microphones of the people who rule Americans’ lives.  So, let’s slow down.  Let’s take a deep breath.  Let’s see if there’s any information that tends to prove or disprove that the hyperbolic rhetoric is anything other than hyperbolic rhetoric.

Well, there actually is a lot of information that proves the hyperbolic rhetoric is nothing more than hyperbolic rhetoric.  However, for the sake of simplicity, all it takes is to read the news.  No, not the news published in America.  The news published outside America, where the news isn’t published by the people who rule Americans’ lives.

Al Jazeera published an October 8, 2021 article on its website aljazeera.com that is titled “Finland joins other Nordic nations in curbing Moderna shots”.  The article reports that “Finland has joined other Nordic countries in suspending or discouraging the use of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine in certain age groups because of an increased risk of heart inflammation”.

Do you believe that Finland and the other Nordic countries are Domestic Terrorists threatening America?

If so, you probably unquestionably trust and rely on the people who rule Americans’ lives.  You probably also believe that America is being led towards “unity”, and that Americans should teach their children to judge people by the color of their skin.

If not, cancel your Facebook and Twitter accounts.  Turn off CNN and MSNBC.  Enroll your children in a non-government-run school.  Never forget that the Deep State and Fake News are real.  Make your voices heard in the 2022 midterm elections.

Lots of highly-paid charismatic politicians and pundits have been telling us for a long time that Joe Biden is suffering setback after setback.  They say what they say either because they don’t understand politics, or because they don’t care what they have to say in order to get highly-paid.

Either way, the highly-paid charismatic politicians and pundits accumulate power and wealth.  Either way, their clever words and passionate opinions come and go like a passing breeze.

Take away the clever words and passionate opinions, and what remains?  Undisputed facts remain.  Let’s take a look at some undisputed facts.

When Joe Biden was Vice President, he blackmailed Ukraine for the financial benefit of his son Hunter.  The clever words and passionate opinions about the blackmail have come and gone, and the money remains in the Biden family.

When Joe Biden ran for President, he said his son Hunter and he do not discuss his son’s miraculous overseas financial windfalls in China (America’s number one national security threat), even though they fly together on Air Force 2.  The clever words and passionate opinions about the lie have come and gone, and Joe Biden got to be the President.

When Joe Biden became President, he opened America’s borders and encouraged millions of unvetted, unvaccinated people from around the world to immigrate by paying for their health care, education, and support.  The clever words and passionate opinions about America’s health and safety have come and gone, and the millions of immigrants remain in America.

The list of undisputed truths goes on.

The clever words and passionate opinions of the highly-paid charismatic politicians and pundits came and went like a passing breeze.  Joe Biden ignored them.

Joe Biden did not suffer setback after setback.  He got what he wanted.  He got richer than our Founding Fathers thought possible for a public servant.  He changed the demographics of the nation.  He undermined the First Amendment.  He restored segregation.  He taught the Catholic Church who’s the boss.

After fifty years in government, Joe Biden got the last laugh.

Arizona State University designated parts of its campus to be “multicultural locations”, where White students are not welcome.  A September 24, 2021 online video shows a political activist harassing two White students who were studying in a “multicultural location”, complaining “This White man thinks he can take up our space”.  The university declared the incident to be a mere disagreement among students.  United States Senator Kyrsten Sinema, who teaches at Arizona State University, said nothing.

*** An October 3, 2021 online video shows political activists harassing Senator Sinema because they disagree with Senator Sinema’s position on two pending spending bills.  The political activists followed Senator Sinema into the ladies room, shouted at her, video-recorded her as she entered a bathroom stall, waited for her to finish and leave the bathroom stall, and video-recorded her leaving the bathroom stall and washing her hands. Joe Biden told our children the incident was no big deal: “it happens to everybody … it’s part of the process”.

To a round of laughter and applause from Hollywood’s finest, Robert De Niro shouted “Fuck Trump” at the 2018 televised Tony Awards show.

*** Every week in the 2021-2022 football season, across our nation, college football stadiums are filled with shouts of “Fuck Joe Biden”.

In June 2018, Congresswoman Maxine Waters shouted to a crowd, telling them how to express their political opinions: “If you see anybody from that Cabinet [President Donald J. Trump’s Cabinet] in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere”.

*** In 2020, countless numbers of people expressed their political opinions by shooting people, throwing molotov cocktails at people, punching passersby from behind, burning courthouses and police stations, and looting stores.

In 2008, Barak Obama told our children “I have said repeatedly that I intend to close Guantanamo.  I will follow through on that.  I’ve said repeatedly that America doesn’t torture, and I’m gonna make sure that we don’t torture.  Those are part and parcel of an effort to regain America’s moral stature in the world.”

*** In 2021, what did our children think when Barak Obama told them that his birthday party guests and his family are “sophisticated” (not “deplorables” or racists), so they don’t have to obey the CDC pronouncements that kept our children’s schools closed for an entire year?

We teach our children by our actions, not by our words.  Our children learn what we teach them.

America’s rulers are paying everyone from everywhere to move to America.  And are silencing Americans who question their re-population enterprise.

America’s rulers are not saintly.  Their goal is not to re-populate their boards of directors.  Their goal is not to re-populate the neighborhoods where they live.  Their goal is not to improve the lives and fortunes of impoverished Americans.  The cost of inner city charter schools would be much lower than the cost of re-populating America.

Apple’s Tim Cook says Apple outsources jobs overseas because America’s workforce isn’t adequately competent.  Really?  Is he telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth?  Doesn’t the whole truth include the fact that overseas workers are happy to work for lower wages for more onerous management?  What level of competency is required to make sneakers for Nike?

Pre-unionization sweatshops have been removed from America.  But not from the nations from which Apple and Nike bring home enough money for private jets, private yachts, private schools, private security guards, multiple mansions, superior health care, and unrestricted access to government and media.  Cheap, compliant labor is an extremely valuable asset.

America’s rulers don’t defer to China and other nations in order to protect Americans’ “unalienable Rights” of “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”.  America’s rulers defer in order to protect their access to cheap, compliant labor.  To protect the money-flow that buys what’s important to them.

Re-populating America is the enterprise designed to enhance (and ultimately replace) shipping jobs overseas.  To enhance the money-flow.  Imagine how much more money Apple and Nike would pocket, if they didn’t have to pay the cost of shipping their products from China to America.

And that’s the point.  Cheap, compliant labor right here in the United States of America.

But it would be nearsighted to focus only on Apple and Nike.  Every ruler longs for a financially distressed, compliant, uneducated population.  A population that won’t roll its eyes when told that a $3.5 trillion spending bill won’t cost anything.

Imagine the millions of immigrants who America’s rulers are paying to move to America.  Imagine the immigrants’ answers to questions in a job application.  Were you ever convicted of a crime?  Have you ever contracted a communicable disease.  Where did you receive your license to practice medicine.  Now imagine the potential employer trying to verify the applicant’s answers.  Ha ha ha.

When the only Americans are either super-rich or dirt poor, the laughing will end.

The Catholic Church is the embodiment of Catholicism, the people who are Catholics.  It also is the institution headed by the Pope.  Catholics pray for the two to be one, and search for peace when they’re not one.  They’re not one when the institutions’ words and actions fail to be one.  Words matter, but actions matter more than words.

Jesus told people how to live righteously, and always showed them how to live righteously.  He told people “Come, and you will see” and “Follow me”.  [John 1:35-43]

Pope Francis tells people how to live righteously, but doesn’t always show them how to live righteously.  He tells people to live in ways that differ from the way he lives.

Who can understand Pope Francis striking and scowling at a woman who sought nothing other than to touch the sleeve of his priestly robe as he paraded among the people?

Who can understand Pope Francis preaching from within the Vatican’s walls against border walls everywhere else?

Who can understand Pope Francis preaching from within the immigrant-free Vatican against restricted immigration everywhere else?

Who can understand Pope Francis preaching against environmental pollution without first banning private jet travel by or on behalf of the Holy See?

Who can understand Pope Francis preaching that abortion is murder, without excommunicating or withholding Holy Communion from Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden?

Catholics understand and appreciate the value of mystery.  However, would that Pope Francis presented fewer mysteries.

In the 1950s and 1960s, Whites and Blacks and Christians and Jews joined their hands and raised their voices against segregation.  It was the definition of unity.  It brought us the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, and Affirmative Action.  It brought us the Supreme Court Ruling that Separate But Equal is unconstitutional.  It brought us the end of Whites Only drinking fountains.

On January 20, 2021, unity was redefined.  Now it means the opposite of what it once meant.  Now it means segregation.  Now it means systemic segregation in America’s institutions and in Americans’ personal relationships.

Now it means that qualifying for federal aid depends on the color of your skin.

Now it means that the Civil Rights Division of the Department Of Justice is headed by a person who believes “Melanin endows Blacks with greater mental, physical and spiritual abilities”.

Now it means teaching our grammar school children that Whites and Blacks are different at birth.

Now it means that Whiteness is a word.

The State of Arizona takes money from taxpayers and gives it to Arizona State University.  Arizona State University uses taxpayer money to teach our children what to think.  What to think about everything, including unity.  A September 24, 2021 YouTube video shows that Arizona State University designated parts of its campus to be “multicultural locations”, where Whites are not welcome.  A non-White student noticed two White students studying in a “multicultural location”, and told them to get out — complaining “This White man thinks he can take up our space”.  Arizona State University reportedly said the incident merely was a dispute between some students.

Now, imagine this.  Imagine reversing White and Black.  Imagine federal aid only for Whites.  Imagine a head of the Civil Rights Division who believes Whites are endowed with greater mental, physical and spiritual abilities.  Imagine Blackness being a word.  Imagine a State university designating Whites Only locations on campus.  Imagine a return to the 1940s.

Systemic segregation is the work of the devil.  It is destroying us.  We must destroy it.

We must teach our children that Whites and Black are the same at birth.  We must teach our children to judge one another by the content of our character rather than the color of our skin.

We must stand up against everyone who touts the new definition of unity.

National policy-makers fill our eyes and ears with the cry that COVID-19 is overwhelming America’s hospitals — especially in Florida, where Governor Ron DeSantis differs with national policy-makers.

On September 25, 2021, the Naples Daily News published a September 24, 2021 article titled “NCH Healthcare System starting elective surgeries; the hospital reinstates limited patient visitation”.  The NCH Healthcare System is one of the two main hospital systems in Naples, Florida (which is in Collier County, Florida).  As reported in the article, “The NCH Healthcare System is resuming elective surgeries Monday.  In addition, the hospital system in Collier County is allowing limited patient visitation.  Both moves are due to declining COVID-19 hospitalizations”.

As reported on the website of Florida’s Department of Health, the weekly number of new cases of COVID-19 as of September 17, 2021 (not deaths or hospitalizations, just new cases) is the lowest weekly number since July 16, 2021 or earlier.  In fact, September 17, 2021 is 22% lower than July 16, 2021.

Few Americans living outside Florida read the Naples Daily News or the website of Florida’s Department of Health.  In other words, few Americans know the truth.  And few Americans have any reason to ask questions of national policy-makers.  And that’s the way national policy-makers like it.

COVID-19 is not an existential threat.  The absence of truth is.
