Elections cannot cure a diseased culture, on the contrary, only people can inoculate themselves against cultural decline. The first step, the first ingredient needed for an effective vaccine is objective truth. Like an addict’s initial public declaration, we cannot move towards sobriety until we face our good, our bad, and our ugly. The mob depicted in the video I’m sharing today beating an unarmed man into a coma are not monsters they are human. The very worst aspects of humanity certainly, but human nonetheless. Used by every tyrant past, present, and most assuredly future, dehumanization attempts to spare their conscience the weight of otherwise unjustifiable violence against their own kin. If this brutality was carried out by a pack of jackals, then we can rationalize this barbarity as something we would never be capable of. If we deem a specific group of people “rats”, then their extermination becomes a public service not a genocide. Hamas beheads babies while Planned Parenthood rips them apart in the womb and yet it is only the former that is labeled monstrous. I say they are both ugly. Evil is ugly and it must be faced if it is to be fought. And to face it we must first look in the mirror and acknowledge that throughout history we have quickly devolved from civility to barbarism in the blink of an eye. A neighbor claims their Jewish friends are like family on Monday and then by Friday turn them in to be burned alive. In China we see teenagers reading a red book on Monday and then by Friday turning on parents that sacrificed everything for them. And yes, we also see a brother exclaim that his sister should no longer receive medical care because she refused to be a part of a global experiment that created 9 new Pharma billionaires while at the same time destroying our national economy. How many times does this need to happen before we learn? How many empires need to fall? How many brothers and sisters are we going to watch kill brothers and sisters before we recognize that we are broken, cursed and diseased? Yes we are diseased and only Christ is the cure. 

You cannot have unification, morality, or justice without truth.

Wednesday’s tragic mass casualty event on going in Maine is not an argument for increased gun control, as the second amendment abolitionist would have you believe, but instead stand as a clear indication for the necessity of effective personal protection, not just from a tyrannical government, but from any mad man hell bent on taking human life using firearms. Last count, at the time of this writing, stands at 22 maliciously taken from us and since I have yet to see any reports or eyewitness accounts stating that the suspect had to contend with return fire, the probability is high that no one present at Schemengees Bar or Sparetime Recreation (bowling alley) were armed. If this is the case, then once again anti-gun anti-2A propaganda has succeeded in convincing American citizens to turn themselves into soft targets whose only recourse when faced with a bad guy with a gun is to run, hide, and hope not to be slaughtered. Fact: no current gun law no matter the state would have prevented this tragedy. Fact: no firearm, as it is an inanimate object, has ever taken a life. Fact: any “common sense gun-law” that leaves American nationals unable to defend themselves when it truly counts, is not common sense at all. Fact: every evil person with a firearm is ultimately stopped by a firearm. Fact: no gun-law has ever prevented a criminal, who by definition don’t follow laws, from doing anything they want to do. Fact: gun-laws only hinder the law abiding from protecting themselves, their family, and their property. Fact: if our leaders genuinely cared about stopping the massacre of American citizens, then they would focus their efforts on mental health, harsher consequences for these unlawful acts, and finally, they would do everything in their power to help steer our country back towards a culture that prioritizes the traditional family unit.

According to the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Autopsy Report George Floyd’s time of death was recorded 5-25-2020 at 9:25pm and his autopsy was performed 5-26-2020 at 9:25am. I know this because I acquired the autopsy report on 6-3-2020, because in spite of the prevailing narrative, I didn’t believe that Mr. Floyd was murdered. I did however believe that the officers on scene, recognizing that Mr. Floyd was experiencing a medical episode, should have gotten him medical attention far sooner and as such were negligent in their duty to protect and serve. That is of course unless there were extenuating circumstances that may have hindered their priority to get EMS on the scene expediently; such as, I don’t know, an increasingly hostile crowd. The reason why this is relevant today is because the autopsy report that was completed on May 26th has been brought to the forefront because of a conversation between the Medical Examiner and a Hennepin County Prosecutor who is currently in litigation on unrelated accusations. “Why is this so important”, you may ask? It is important because the report that was completed in May, the report that I quite easily acquired in June, is also a report that states at the top of page two, and I quote, “NO LIFE-THREATENING INJURIES IDENTIFIED”. In addition to this, it also states, under Blood Drug and Novel Psychoactive Substances Screen, that he had a total of 7 substances present including 11 ng/mL of Fentanyl and 19 ng/mL of Methamphetamine. A medical examination that finds murder was not the cause of death would seem to me to be crucial evidence needed in a murder trial. If this report, dated May 26, 2020 is accurate, then how could anyone be convicted of murder? Why, after so many years, is evidence that I easily procured in June of 2020 now being thrust back into the public square as if it’s a new discovery? Maybe feeding the mob their pound of flesh was more important than the truth. Maybe social justice was more important than actual JUSTICE. Maybe inciting riots was more important to MSM than journalistic integrity as they released an edited video removing context in order to create an emotional frenzy. Maybe BLM was more important than all lives mattering. Maybe reelection became more important to Trump than protecting American citizens from local governments who were willfully refusing to do so. Maybe ideology became more important than reality itself. Either way the result was the same. Justice was lost and when justice is lost for one it becomes increasingly hard to find for us all.

This isn’t a complicated question, “do you condemn the actions of Hamas?” Not only is it not a complicated question, but if you are pro-Palestine, you can still be anti-Hamas. Why then, are so many, unwilling to condemn the actions that raped, killed, kidnapped, burned and beheaded innocent people without hesitation? Why did our MSM reject the actions of Hamas until Israel, rightfully so, responded to the slaughter of their citizens with a declaration of war? Once Israel engaged in a counteroffensive, the mainstream media’s characterization of Israel shifted from victim to oppressor, why? In addition to the shift in narrative, the mainstream media has either lied about ,or at the very least, not contradicted the lies about the historical conflict, in favor of Palestine. Why has the MSM clearly chosen a side and why is it the side that celebrates the decapitation of infants? That to me would seem to be the wrong side to be on, right?    Who does this narrative serve? What does the MSM gain from this? Do they own substantial shares in Lockheed? I’ve already answered these questions for myself, my challenge to you, is that you do the same. And once you have those answers keep it going by challenging others to question as well. This is how we fight the darkness; turning on the lights.

Once again, like with so many other alarmists narratives, more harm is done to the very groups, animals and/or environments activists proclaim to want to save. And “CLIMATE CHANGE”, another in a long line of failed predictions, has, and will continue to be the most disastrous to human civilization as we know it. Under the banner of climate alarmism, land has been taken, food supply has been compromised, energy costs have exponentially risen, jobs have been lost, companies have been coerced while others have been put out of business, governments have been hijacked, property and works of art have been vandalized, indigenous animals and plant life have been slaughtered, landfills have been inundated with non-biodegradable waste, people, including children have been enslaved, and environments have been raided for the materials needed to further this unsustainable endeavor. What’s more ridiculous, is the support for these self-destructive practices championed by individuals who haven’t bothered to take 15-minutes to research the validity of activists and governments peddling these logically nonsensical proclamations, because if they had, they wouldn’t be throwing paint on masterpieces and blocking everyday citizens from driving to work. They instead would be calling for these governments to do everything in their power to provide the most amount of energy at the lowest cost possible while at the same time producing the least amount of waste. We have this technology available to us and not only are our leaders choosing not to expound upon it, they are actively shutting down this abundant energy supply in favor of wind and solar which have proven to be inadequate and unreliable. It is energy, not electric cars (ironically powered by fossil fuels) that ultimately separates first world countries from third world countries. If we continue down this “climate change” path, I predict it will not only relegate every country in the world back to the stone ages, it will kill billions in the process.

In pledging to temporarily fill Feinstein’s seat with a BLACK person, Newsom let everyone know that if they are not black, then they need not apply. In pledging to temporarily fill the seat with a black WOMAN, Newsom let everyone know that if you are not female, then you need not apply. In choosing a lesbian, to check the bonus box, Newsom let everyone know that if you are heterosexual, then you need not apply. In one fell swoop he promised to be racist, sexist, and discriminatory for the good of our state and the good of our country. “Oh, but, isn’t racism and sexism bad”, you ask? Well, not to a racist it isn’t. To a racist judging people solely off of their ethnic origins is following the doctrine of today’s progressive left. He will be celebrated for his choice by people who claim that systemic racism has infected the very foundations this once great country was built upon. The reality is, they are the virus, actively injecting racism and discrimination where once there was none to further divide and demoralize the populace. Tokenization is big business for the the left and neither Kamala, Karine, nor Laphonza have the self respect necessary to refuse positions offered to them solely based on their immutable characteristics and sexual preferences. Racism is alive and well in our country and you can thank Governor Newsom and President Biden for leading the charge.

We are now living, in real time, with the consequences of getting duped into advocating for our own destruction. Those who are still pretending otherwise are either willfully complicit because it serves their ends or they are in denial trying to hold onto any shred of the worldview they were assured would lead them to a progressive utopia. I understand. It’s hard to come to grips with finding out you put people in power that care more about funding a war on foreign soil than they do funding their own citizens who’ve lost everything. They care more about emptying prisons than they do housing veterans. They care more about mutilating children than they do mitigating rising adolescent obesity. They care more about killing unborn American citizens than they do saving those suffering from mental illness. They care more about cow farts than they do about rising food costs. The Democrats have been in control for almost three years and in those three years they have achieved absolutely nothing that objectively supports the basic necessities of free citizens. In fact they have chosen to be a yoke shackled to the neck of liberty with deliberate intention. We have become distracted by partisan theatrics. We have relinquished our position as the CEO’s of this once great nation and have instead been demoted to the mailroom located in a basement with no windows and only one door that locks from the outside. Who has the key? I know that I don’t because you were tricked into taking it from me when I wasn’t looking. I know that you don’t because you were tricked into giving it away in exchange for  “climate change”. This is no longer a romantic comedy, it’s not a sci-fi flic, or an uplifting drama where the hero prevails in the end. This is a horror movie complete with zombies, vampires, demons, escaped experiments, giant insects (the inedible kind) and animated dolls with no soul. The Pied Piper of Propaganda has put you to sleep and you will either awaken before it’s too late and choose to fight, or you will slumber long enough to be replaced by an illegal alien pod. Oh, sorry, I meant to say, “an undocumented alien pod”.

When Newsom says, “gun-violence is the number one killer of children”, he is lying. Unless of course you consider a 17 year old a child and not how the dictionary defines a child as a prepubescent human being. Last I checked, prepubescent, was 1 to 12 years old depending on gender. He wants you to believe that 9 year olds are dropping like flies because law abiding citizens refuse to sacrifice their right to defend themselves from the tyrannical government Newsom himself represents. What he doesn’t want you to figure out is that, of the violence perpetrated using firearms, the metro areas represent 5 x the amount of homicides found in non-metro areas. And those murders are overwhelmingly due to gang activity and the drug trade. If the CDC is counting children as anyone between the ages of 1 and 17, and we know that most murders are transpiring in the inner cities, then are we to believe that it’s 8 year olds and not 15 year old gang bangers that are contributing to these increased numbers? No matter which side of the 2nd amendment you fall upon, this truth is irrefutable; not one gun law, past, present, or future has or will stop gun violence because only the law abiding, by definition, follow the law and only criminals, who are the only ones responsible for these crimes, don’t. Simply put, you can never hope to stop crime, under any circumstances, punishing the law abiding citizen more than you punish the guilty.

The question we need to ask ourselves is; why are they underreporting and who does it serve?
