Sometimes, Repetition is Good

I am sitting here, watching The Sound of Music, again. I would guess it’s about the 20th time. On the other hand, I’ve heard the music countless times and then some. I have also seen a couple of stage versions, one with Patrice Muncel. One nice thing about the stage versions is that the stage versions have 2, maybe 3 songs the movie doesn’t and they are nice songs.

Regardless, I am again enjoying the movie. There is the music and the scenery. There is the humor, the children, and of course, the plot, itself.

Don’t mistake my words. It was a horrible thing Hitler did, but he just might have saved us from something worse. The Communists were just as bad. The world fought off Hitler and his bunch, only to be left with far worse. Now, we not only have enemies outside our gates but inside as well. They have disguised themselves as the friends and advocates for the minorities. Of course, the only thing they really advocate is the unification of all governments under one authority and, of course for their good.

In another way, seeing the movie brings out my ire every time as it reminds me of what the Nazis did. Even so, I remember my history. While he took over Germany, they did keep the communists from doing the same, Had Hitler not stopped the communists, the world might have faced even a worse foe.

One might be surprised, but we ought not be. It was foretold in Daniel, in the Bible. It will happen one day. And it will be the worst of all authorities, the worst of all governments.

The thing is, I see no reason to hurry such things along, or at least, I don’t think so. I see no purpose in hurrying the communist takeover. It is only evil, start to finish. God will deal with it. He does know how.

So which is worse? The Nazis or the Communists? In affect, I am not sure there is a measurable difference.

They both specialize in killing and terrorizing.

The Method of the Wolf

As the wolf pack approaches the herd of buffalo they know they stand no chance against the herd. Therefore, likely to some degree by instinct, they seek to separate out the one. Generally, they look for the week one or the one that doesn’t remain close to the heard. The stragglers are the natural target of the pack.

The herd has not the intelligence to know that if they were to always charge the wolves instead of running away, the pack would have to search for dinner elsewhere. The wolf diet would not include buffalo. There is no way the pack could survive the trampling of so many hooves.

We as humans know better than the buffalo, right.

Yet, when Hitler took over Germany, he used the same method as the wolves. When he took over most of Europe, he used the same methods as the wolves. When the Bolshivics took Russia, they used the method of the wolves.

We called it the domino affect, where one small nation falls after the other. However, the truth is they were following the example of the wolves, whether or not they were aware of it. Always seek out the weak and separate. Then in days, they take over Hungary or Romania. The method failed in Afghanistan, but because of the help of the US.

Today, even at this time, the communists play the part of the wolfpack. They have imprisoned hundreds of innocent people from January 6. We, the herd, did nothing. Now what stands in the way. The herd has been scattered and we are in fear.

We live in fear of the woke and we live in fear of a justice system that is controlled by the wolfpack.

I’m alright…It’s the rest of the world that’s messed up.

If I used that expression even once, I have used it a thousand times. It’s somewhat become a reaction to when I find out I made a mistake. If there are others around, it almost always draws a laugh or two. I figure that’s a good thing. Someone ought to benefit from my tendency to make mistakes.

It is, to be sure, a joke. Obviously I don’t believe it to be true. On the other hand, there are those who do believe it of themselves. They do things the whole world knows is wrong and they try to convince us that they did it for the good. Old Joe started driving up the price of oil on day one. It shook the world to its core, figuratively. However, he says what he did was good for us. I’m still trying to figure if that is what he believes or if he is purposely trying to destroy our economy and drive the world to WWIII.

Many are trying to bring down our form of government for communist ideas. They want to do away with the Constitution, oddly using that very document to do it. They are trying to make our society lawless oddly, using the law to do it.

Right at the top of the list, they are trying to take away our right to free speech. And, that’s right. They are using free speech to do it.

Their hope is to blind us of what their real intention is. Odd… sounds very much like Satan’s ploy. They are trying to use lies and deceit. Odd… sounds to me like the same trick Satan prefers. If someone tries to do that which is good, they try to silence and destroy him. Strange. Seems to me they use the same tricks that Satan uses.

With these folks, they really do have something wrong with them and…it is the rest of the world they would like to have as their very own to control and manipulate. Seems an awful lot like what Satan wants to do with it.

The Unwritten Rule

It would seem that there is now a rock solid rule that, in order to participate in the government of a large city, a person must be a dem. To some degree, I somewhat understand that. I mean, why would anyone want to live in a large city, unless he’s a dem. That makes it difficult for a republican to be elected, especially for mayor.

And so it is, you look at election results, you will find high concentrations of dem votes in large cities. Also, near coasts and rivers. As you get closer to center of the city, you will find a higher concentration of dems.

Oddly, you can pretty much say the same about crime.

Not so oddly, another reason to avoid living in big cities, or for that matter, visiting them unless necessary.

It does seem to be one of those endless loops. It does seem a horrible thing, which no one knows how to stop. For that matter, I suspect no one really has the desire.

As I looked at a county by county map of the result of the Mississippi governor race, it pretty much stuck to the pattern. Even Desoto County is starting to lose it’s solid red look as the population increases.

Of course, the city of Jackson was solid blue as well as almost all the counties touching the Mississippi River. On the other hand, the gulf coast had a red county, the one with the sparse population.

You likely already noticed all this. It’s not so new.

The Theoretical Fence Test

Let’s consider, if we build a fence around a land, would people try to go into that land or out. Take for instance, if there were a fence around New York, would people try to escape the state or sneak into the Empire State. I think past evidence already point out that there are more U-Hauls headed out of the state than into it.

It can be a great expense to leave a place where you’ve grown roots. It might mean selling a house or apartment at a loss. More than that, it will likely mean leaving family and friends. In truth, this difficulty is effectively a fence, a barrier to keep people from leaving.

Now, let’s take California. Certainly all the same things apply to it as those that apply to New York, but two things more. California has some of the best weather in the world and miles and miles of some really great beaches. I know firsthand. I used to live in Garden Grove, California 30 to 40 minutes from many of those beaches. And I spent a lot of time at five or six of them.

I know how hard it is to pull up stakes and move from that state. Every winter, every summer, I am reminded of it. Nonetheless, I moved from there to Memphis and then to Desoto County and I am glad I did. Moreover, there are many more who have done the same, that is to say, they left California.

I dare say, it has gotten bad enough that I suspect there are those who would leave all to get out. There are some that would build 15 foot ladders to climb any fence they’d build around it. Why is it that people are willing to give up the weather and the beaches?

It’s something called socialism. It’s ruled by people who call themselves democrats. However, many of them are outright socialists, or ever communists. They have a choke hold on that state and the proclamation has been made, you can’t run for anything unless you are willing to bow down to the controllers who claim to have the best interest of the poor at heart.

As a side note, there is nothing keeping the poor, poor more than the dems. It is not the rich they tax but rather those who are making money. The rich already have their money and they know how to sit on it to keep anyone from getting it.

Now, let’s look at the other fences, the ones around Florida, Tennessee, and Texas. They won’t work. People will find ways to get into those states. The past stats verify that. It is where people drive their U-Hauls and drop them off, I might add, at quite an expense. They are moving into strange neighborhoods where they know not anyone outside of their family. Maybe they don’t even have a means of employment yet.

They move to these states because the people running them actually understand capitalism. They know, if they work hard they can make a living and government won’t come along and take it from them. As a side benefit, they actually know the difference between men and women and they don’t try to talk boys into becoming girls or visa-versa.

Most of us around here understand the concept of putting those who break the law behind bars. (Well, there is something of an exception for Memphis. You can’t hold it agin them though. Their town is run by dems who know better, they just don’t like the concept. And so it is that people are also leaving Memphis.)

You would, of course think the dems caught on by now. They have seen how people from socialists countries are risking life and limb to leave their country to come to the US where we still have some semblance of capitalism. You ask those new arrival if they want the US to be like the place they just left, and they will get a horrified look on their face and say, please no. Not ever.

It is often a lesson learned too late. It wasn’t until Stalin had control that people realized they made a big mistake. It wasn’t until after Mao killed his millions that the Chinese realize that that they should have followed Chiang Kai-shek. It wasn’t until Castro had a firm grip on Cuba that the Cubans realized they made a big mistake. Those kind of mistakes never get corrected. Those controllers grab control and no human will ever be able to loose their hold.

Let’s hope and pray we don’t wait until the only way to leave the US is in a little home made row boat, as with the Cubans. The fact is, it will be too late. Even if we can put a good motor on that little craft, we won’t have anywhere to go.

The Impossible Dream

Other than being the title of a really nice song from “Man From La Mancha,” it is the dream of those who would like to form the idealistic world of communism. It doesn’t work. It is a desire with no destination. It can never be realized this side of reality.

Long before Karl Marx, Stalin or Mao, the attempts were made. They didn’t call it communism but it was the same. It was tried by the Pilgrims and they would have died if they hadn’t been rescued by the Indians. It was tried by a little city, I don’t remember the name of it, but it was up north somewhere near the center of the country. It didn’t work there either. For a while the city grew and flourished. Then, almost as quickly, it was abandoned. People always flee communism when they realize it’s weaknesses.

It is not my purpose to try to explain why it won’t work. I suspect that would fall on deaf ears anyway. My point is this. Those dems are trying to sell a pig in a poke. They are trying to sell you something they do not plan to deliver. Stalin, Mao, Castro, and all the rest promised communism. However, none, no, not one of them succeeded. The USSR never had so much as one day of communism, but rather a dictatorship. China today is under the strong arm of something, I know not what. however, it is not communism. If it were, everyone would live equally and I assure you the leaders are far more equal than the farmers. If you go to Castro’s Cuba, you will not find any equality. The leaders live like kings. The rest pick out a living as best they can.

The dems stand at their stages and they tell you how wonderful the world will be when they rule the world. However, I assure you, if they ever rule the world, it will turn out like Russia, like China, like Cuba. It will be like East Germany used to be. It will be a place to flee at all cost, as many East Germans did; as many Cubans did; as many Chinese do today. However, there will be a big problem. If they rule the USA, there will be no where to flee to. There will be nowhere to go to escape from the bondage they impose.

The truth is that it’s not communism they seek, but control. They want total, ultimate control over what you do, what you say and yes, even what you think. Control is what they want. Communism is only the carrot they dangle in front of you to get that control. Once they have control, they will also remove the carrot. Moreover, I assure you they will not relinquish that control easily.

You think you still have a choice. Actually you do, but not for long. If the dems win the next presidential election, it’s over. There will be nothing anyone, that is to say, anyone by God will be able to do. It is time to stop taking freedom for granted and start fighting for the 10 Amendments instead of against them. It is time to start fighting for the constitution instead of it’s destruction. There will be no backspace keys or delete keys. you decision will be final. They have their religion,one they made up. I assure you they will not allow any other.

And, of course, it is time for you to start encouraging your neighbors and friends to do the same. Remember, communism is not their goal. It is simply the means to their goal, utter control.

Faith & Credit

For years, I wondered why the dems don’t care about how far we go in debt. Then, just today, I think I might have figured it out. It just might be that they don’t care how far we go into debt.

Now that just might sound like double talk and I suppose that it is in a sense. However, think about it a minute. What if they never plan to honor it.

But they have to. It is part of our faith & credit. If we don’t honor it, our credit will be ruined. However, they can announce to the world that it’s the USA’s credit. You see, we will no longer be the USA, so we don’t need to honor that debt. Good luck on collecting from the former United States of America.

Hence, they will not have to pay back 1 dollar, not 1 penny. I wonder if the Chinese have considered that possibility. Then, on the other hand, if China incorporates the former US into China, it won’t much matter, will it? (Considering China owns most of our debt)

Flag Waving

They are coming to America, as the song title says. However, the flag they wave is not the Stars and Stripes. Instead, they prefer the flag of the country from which they come.

Repeatedly, the dems point out that we are a nation of immigrants. True, but always before, the immigrants let go of their old flag, and country; and took up their new flag, and new country.

I don’t know when it changed, but there was a time when dual citizenship was not permitted. If anyone knows the benefits of split allegiance, please let me know.

As Jesus said, a man cannot serve two masters. I do believe that goes to nations as well. For when the time comes for decisions, do you decide for the Stars and Stipes or for your former colors. To be sure, the decisions just might confront you each time you enter a voting booth. Are you, for sure going to vote for the good of the US, or will you maintain your ties to your prior country? Just which country will benefit from your vote?

Which flag gets waved? Which flag gets saluted? In my book, a person ought not gain citizenship until they are ready and willing to put down their former colors.

This is greatly amplified in Congress. There is a Constitutional requirement for the president to be a native born American. It is a shame that there isn’t such a requirement for both houses of Congress. This very day we have people in our Congress who wave foreign flags and they are proud to do it.

There’s just some wrong about that. To whom do they owe their allegiance? For whom do they cast their votes?

Does it Really Help to Know

I took my Ford Taurus into the dealership to have some minor work done on it. When I went to pick it up, the service manager informed me that the anti-lock brakes control went bad. Then he suggested it might have been battery acid that dropped down on it.

I actually thought about arguing the point. The battery was relatively new and there was not one drop of acid around it. Moreover, it was in a tray which was also dry. I decided against it. I knew it would do no good.

I knew the guy was handing me a line but sometimes it isn’t enough to know. I wasn’t there to see it and I could see no evidence of anything that his man did. So that was it, more-or-less. Of course, the customer always has a last resort. I had owned three Fords before; none since.

The point is that sometimes, sometimes, it does not do any good to know. I knew the man was lying to me, but it did not do be any good. Anything short of having a video of the whole thing, I am doomed to lose the argument before I start. Even then, they might not accept a video of proof.

Well, there is another thing I know that will never do anyone any good. I know there was major cheating in the last election. Guess what. The dems know it too. The problem is that there was never a way to get it into the courts to prove anything; this even though some in position of authority outright admitted to not following the law. Incidentally, I believe the courts knew it too. I mean, it was a poorly kept secret.

The dems decided to ignore it and they insisted that everyone else ignore it too. Moreover, if anyone brought it up, the dems made sure that they suffered for it.

Now we stand on the brink of another election. You think they will do it again? They certainly will, if we permit it. Actually, they just might have obtained the power to do it even should we do not permit it. It may have already reached the tipping point. We, even now, might be living in a one party country. If so, it won’t do any good to know it. It will be too late. Very soon. we will all know. A lot of good it will do then.

Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely

John Dalberg-Acton is credited with the above statement. The other day, I was considering it and what the Bible says about the love of money being the root of all evil. (1st Timothy 6:10). As I thought it over, I realized that the love of power certainly has it’s part in it too.

However, there is a difference. Not everyone thirst after power as they do after money. Most of us wouldn’t want the power if it was given to us. I certainly don’t.

On the other hand, there are those who lust after power almost since birth. History is replete with them, mostly bad. Moreover, as the above saying suggest, the more power a person has, the more he wants. It becomes, as has been said by others, something of an opiate.

However, it is also true of groups and organizations. Indeed, some generals have gone insane from it. Those like Nero went absolutely mad with it. There has been more than one fight over throwns because of it. Europe was full of one war after the other during the dark and middle ages. Modern wars have been fought to either maintain or gain power, such as both world wars. The Soviet Union was formed to take power(control) of the world by lying that communism would fix everything.

The western world was not alone in the striving for power. I mean, just why was the Great Wall of China built? By the way, did you ever notice all the ancient cities were built with walls around them. For sure the walls were built frequently before the homes. Why? Because there were those who sought to rule over other cities and other nations.

Now, I ask you, what modern day organization seeks power? I’ll give you a hint. They break the law all the time and claim that others are breaking the law. They promise the moon but provide little or nothing. They break the election laws and claim their opponents do.

They take away our freedoms, (the Bill of Rights) while claiming others are trying to take away our democracy. They lie while claiming everyone else is lying. They promise life but kill by the millions.

Now let’s see, it is the dems that fraught for slavery. It was the dems that tried to keep the Black race from voting. It is the dems that tried to keep the Black people from learning to read. Now they have the nerve to try to claim the Republicans did it.

It is the dems that will not let people pray in school. It is the dems that try to make everyone pay for the killing of Black babies. (abortion) And it is the dems that are trying to keep people from having their say in colleges.

Sounds to me like those dems are maybe just a bit power hungry. Sounds to me that those dems have been corrupted by that power.
