Can Blogs Avert World War III?

 My BlogSpot Can Blogs Save the World was created in 2009.  It is ironic that many of the articles that were written about the future have come true and are being noticed by people with real influence.  I mean, who cares about what a southerner with an Alabama upbringing says? He is clearly behind the times, right?  Those in New York and California – they are the smartest ones when it comes to geopolitics and international economics right?  Well, hard times bring new ideas as the boat sinks apparently.

My introduction article in 2009 says, 

I envision this blog as a way to discuss some current topics, some of the topics may be complex and/or controversial.  However, anything nowadays that gets our minds to thinking out of the box I am all for it.

Let's start with "ideas or visions", transform them to "blogs", allow our brains to "absorb" the information, whilst we bounce them (the ideas) around a little, and then "save the world" ;) Let's also enjoy the fellowship while we do it!!!

The irony of the name of my blog is that it is called “Can Blogs Save the World?”  This name is visionary considering that much of my political theory posts were about China’s rise and the decline of the US due to unbalanced trade deficits. Basically, us giving China trillions of dollars as apposed to them giving us mere thousands through the greatest trade imbalance and transfer of wealth that the world has ever seen.  Likewise with each passing year, China became richer and we became poorer (in debt).  Decades of this has brought us to this point.  

Who besides me continually says stupid stuff like, “China entered the World Trade Organization (WTO) on 12/11/2001 exactly two months after the 9/11/2001 World Trade Tower Attacks may not be a coincidence.”  It was the same day of the month, on the 11th.  Wow.  Brilliance.  It's like someone wanted to screw with our heads.  In one day, in one attack, our intelligence and financial resources suddenly shifted off of China and Russia and to the Middle East, overnight.  No one seemed to care about the China and WTO connection.  It was an unseen ghost that would one day become visible and change the world.  You know.  Stuff like huge transfers of wealth and power to China and BRICS and alliances and world influence and Taiwan.  Also, China building military bases in other countries and building alliances with those countries that will ultimately benefit the PRC.  World domination kind of stuff.

So, did Russia and/or China train some terrorists in the sand of Saudi Arabia to fly planes into the Twin Towers on 9/11/2001 for strategic purposes to hide their entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO)?  Did the terrorists get the idea from the plane that hit David Rockefeller’s Chase Manhattan building on 5th Avenue years ago?  Theory or fact?  Who knows really?  If it happened, are any of the strategic planners, influencers or people with knowledge of it still alive?  Perhaps we killed them all in retaliation. Conspiracy theory?  If there was outside influence will we ever hear of it and even if we found proof, what would we do about it at this point?  Go to war?  Easy to beat Iraq but not so much larger countries.

Motive.  We ask questions like, “Did and do the Chinese and Russians want the West to decline or fall while they take the lead in World Politics?”  Sure.  Russia, in particular, seems butthurt all the time about the power of the West.  It is no secret.  “Was the motive for China and/or Russia to give ideas and intelligence to terrorists to commit the attacks?”  Sure, there was plenty of motive.  They knew the US would bomb the hell out of the Middle East and make new enemies there while they took the neutral approach and great opportunity of staying out of the war.  And, they strategically networked and significantly improved their relations in other countries.  Also, they might have known that the US would take most of its intelligence resources off of China and Russia and divert a large portion of its money, time and people to the Middle East and domestic terrorism.  In other words, “quit spending resources on collecting intelligence on China and Russia so they can covertly plot to take over the New World Order in the upcoming decades.  Plan for the century, not just one Presidential or Congressional term.  Not one CIA director's term.  No one FBI director's term.  Does it now make more sense that Putin has been in power since 1999 and Xi Jinping since 2012.  But it was Putin in power just before the 9/11 attacks, not Xi Jinping.  Did Putin have boots on the ground in the sands of Afghanistan at the time?  Sure he did.  Doesn't mean for certain Russia had anything at all to do with the attacks but certainly there was plenty of motive and having a strong Rockefeller and NYC presence with plenty of communication and contact, the Russians surely knew about the airplane that hit Rockefeller's bank on 40 Wall Street.  That's recorded history but probably still on the tongue of many people, especially David Rockefeller (at least, while he was alive).

In all civil and criminal court cases the smartest of judges and lawyers understand that MOTIVE is important.  Without motive, there is no criminal case and the guy is almost always innocent.  But if there is motive, particularly STRONG MOTIVE, then it increases the probability that the person or country is GUILTY.  Do the Chinese and Russians have motive for us to use all of our intelligence resources domestically and continue to keep our eyes off of them?  Absolutely.  Do the Chinese and Russian have motive for us to fight internally?  Absolutely. Do they have motives for us to bankrupt our nation and lose credit among all of the other nations in the world?  Absolutely.  Would they want our people poor and perhaps a revolution started in the United States?  Absolutely.  Would they want a change of government and influence elections and put in their puppets to change policy and law that benefits the Chinese?  Absolutely.  I’ve said this before and will say it again, “It’s cheaper to bribe a politician than build a missile. It’s cheaper to bribe Congress than go to war.”  You can quote me on that. 

I mean who gave these foreign sand terrorists the idea to use airplanes anyway?  Admittedly, fresh ideas can occasionally pop into someone's head but usually not.  Usually, the brain uses repetition, not creativity.  Perhaps the idea came from someone or a group of people in NYC who had firsthand experience with an airplane hitting NYC buildings?  The Empire State building in 1945.  The Chase Manhattan building on 40 Wall Street in 1946.  Moreover, the Twin towers were often dubbed Nelson and David [Rockefeller] by the press because of their family’s involvement in donating the land for the UN and their influence and involvement in the towers.  

BTW, 40 Wall Street is better known by its current name – The Trump Building.  And the Trump Organization owned the old Chase Manhattan building in 2001 during the time of the attacks.  Again, at least hundreds of thousands of people have passed through the building over the years and a certain percentage heard the story about the plane crashing into it.  

Even though my belief that the idea of the 9/11/2001 plane attacks came from the airplane that hit David Rockefeller’s building, I obviously cannot say who.  Certainly, I can't see a benefit to David Rockefeller or Donald Trump.  Thousands of people have frequented Chase Manhattan and The Trump Tower over the year and the history might even be still circulating around with its current owner and employees.  And let's not forget that a plane hit the Empire State Building and lots of people probably remember that history as well.   But what does seem to confirm that the information was somehow connected to David Rockefeller or his Chase Manhattan building (in my mind) is David Rockefeller's connection to the Twin Towers.  This combined with the airplane hitting his bank, Chase Manhattan.  David was born in 1915 so the airplane was certainly on his mind.  He most likely visited the site of the crash.  He also admitted to watching the planes hit the towers in real time as he smoked a cigar in an adjacent building (Memoirs; David Rockefeller).  And David also  had a tremendous amount of influence.  That rascal was somehow given the green light to make many travels to Moscow and visit with leadership of the Soviet Union and China and yet was not even be suspected as being a double agent of agent of the Soviets.  Or even influenced (directly or indirectly) by the Soviets.  Did David Rockefeller have CIA connections.  Absolutely, in my mind there is no doubt.  Just as he had Soviet connections and PRC connections and Henry Kissinger connections.  David Rockefeller who alongside his buddy Henry Kissinger used their influence to push the détente with China on all of us which included China’s entrance into the WTO exactly two months after the tower attacks.  

Let’s face it, Rockefeller lobbied successfully for all of the trade agreements that shut down much of the manufacturing in the US including NAFTA.  They did so by explaining that we would still hold onto the tech sector and stay ahead of China.  Did China agree to stay away from the tech sector?  Not to my knowledge but we are now complaining about it as if we expected them to stay away from tech if we gave them our manufacturing industry.  They certainly did not listen.  Perhaps a backroom handshake isn't' enough to "seal the deal?"  Consequently, the manufacturing sector been nearly destroyed due to China.  The PRC is also on a fast rising pace with the tech sector, military technology and equipment as well.  

So if the idea to transfer much of the wealth of the US over decades was to protect David Rockefeller and Henry Kissinger's generation from nuclear war, it worked.  But it ended just before they died.  They both got made their 100th birthday but left us in a bad situation.  We are safe as long as we give China the unbalanced trade, basically giving them an excess of cash, but what happens now  that they have become more powerful, influentially, politically, monetarily, when we quit giving them that excess of cash? We will be no longer needed, hence increasing the risk of many undesired consequences of that.

So, I won’t get into details about the reasons behind the rise of China and decline of the developed countries because I already have half a dozen videos posted and blogs written about all of that from over 15 years ago.  You know, back when it would have been easier to slow it down or reverse the process without going into World War III with them.  When the caveman rubs two sticks together, he creates fire.  Likewise with politics, domestic or geopolitically, rubbing the sticks together too fast creates nuclear war.  A slower process of change lowers the risk of war.  Changes over a four year term might be too fast and too much friction and create fire (literally).

I did not initially intend today's blog to be about all of that.  My mind works in complicated rabbit holes.  My main intent is the same as my the name of my blog, "Can Blogs Change the World [for the better?]  Better means, freedom loving countries survive.  The focus of this article and many of the others was and is an attempt to get the world out and change current events in order to change future events and to divert them into a more palatable living for the West and its allies.  A different and more positive trajectory in the time line, short of a time machine to the future and seeing the world up in flames and coming back to warn everyone, I have tried to warn in advance.  

And I am not just talking about just a strong government, but also a strong citizenry.   Because if the citizens are weak the government will be weak.  After all, politicians come from the population right?  If the population is dumbed down and poor then Congress will be dumbed down and corrupt.

Almost everything comes down to resources and energy.  I am not talking about electricity.  I am talking about manpower, technology and focus.  What will we spend it on?  We certainly shifted way from China and Russia who have full motive to take us down as they rise.  There are more important things in the world than the Middle East.  Speaking of, who will have the most influence with them in the future if we do not change our thinking, policy and laws for a long term strategic plan.

Be strong, stay strong.  That's my idea.  We have to prioritize strengthening ourselves.  The young lion doesn't attack the old lion until he knows for certain the old lion cannot win.  Otherwise, he instinctually knows he will die.  Likewise, China will continued the strategy, infiltration and covert subversion until they know they are strong enough to win.  They are not stupid.

So, in my all so humble but strong opinion, there are many downsides to the United States declining and China continuing to rise.  And despite my jumping around to different yet interconnected subjects in today’s article, I will leave the final focus on this idea and the reason it absolutely has to be reversed, yet reversed in way that will not lead to World War III and particularly nuclear war and the end of the world.

The Untied States has benefited from being the most powerful country in the world.  People want to side with winners. They want to side with the rich and powerful, not the weak and 50 trillion in national debt.  They want to learn English, not Chinese.

It has benefited out intelligence community as well.  The adversary’s country sucks and the United States has money and other benefits that encourages information collection by the United States government.  So that’s a two-part system.  Again, US is great, their country sucks and treats them badly.  If the US ever, and I mean, ever, starts oppressing its own citizens and if China ever begins to treat theirs better, then there will be a problem. The US has benefited from being a great nation with a wealthy and happy population for many decades now.  China on the other hand did not.  But now that many of the major cities in the US are in decline and cities in China are incredible, things are beginning to change.  The transfer of wealth from the developed countries to China is a serious problem.  But if you stop the transfer immediately, there is a high risk for a major war.  If you stop it slowly, but consistently over a decade or two, then it might just work and tensions simmer.

So what happens if China becomes richer and the US becomes poorer?  China will have the advantages that the US has had for half a century.  Nearly all of those advantages.  Countries in the world will want China to build military bases on their native lands. They will want China’s assistance in intelligence matters.  They will supply China with information on China’s adversaries, and they will freely give the information to them.  Our county’s superpowers to turn an adversarial officer into a covert agent working for the US government will become increasingly more difficult, albeit nearly impossible.  For one thing we won’t have the budget to  turn them.  Secondly, China will have the money, power and influence to turn our officers into one of theirs. This isn’t even considering the private sector, where many of our intelligence officers and agents leave our government to work for a newly globalized private sector.  A powerful globalist private sector is another article to write another day as it poses as much of a security risk as anything else that is mentioned herein.

To simplify, what happens when the US has less money to spend on intelligence and counterintelligence and China has more money to spend on intelligence and counterintelligence?  China will exponentially hit that tipping point of no return.  The sort of tipping point that is quietly lurking below the icy waters like an iceberg awaiting the titanic to brush past and sink. 

I am not saying these things because I am angry or sad or despise the US in any way.  I am bringing it up because I love my country and want my family and descendants to have a great opportunity to live the good life, work hard and have a little something for their troubles.  You know, that thing they call “the American Dream.”  Because if you lose the dream, you lose the country.  And people aren’t stupid.  That’s why communism alone did not work for the Soviets or the Chinese. When Rockefeller and Kissinger taught them that capitalism was the way to riches and power, they saw it clearly when they strengthened and improved the educational resources for their people.  Opportunities increased and the people prospered. 

So we cannot allow our country to lose these great opportunities or we will lose our government’s advantages on the world’s stage in many ways.  We will also lose our Americanized travel conveniences and respect in the world.  This only works to the PRC's advantages and their governmental system instead of ours.

There has recently been more people wanting to help our country, whether in the intelligence community or the military.  That’s good news, but they are doing it because their gut is waking them up to the problem of transitional geopolitics.  They "feel" a problem.  They have anxiety because of it.  They instinctually want to contribute to fix the problem(s).  This isn’t the best reason to fight but it is the last reason.  I say that because if we do not reverse the trend into a more US friendly outcome, then the decline continues and the tipping point of someone else leading the world becomes reality.  And this new world political system will not necessarily be West friendly.  Although the Chinese will certainly use us if they can, as long as it is to their advantage, and as long as we stop being a treat to their ambitions.  Instead of the king of the world we will become the side chick.  Sort of like what Russia is in the eyes of China.  The side chick to get information from to help China.  We will continue our consumer nation status and buy the Chinese products and continue to increase the wealth in the PRC instead of our own country. We will be used and abused. We will be, as the old saying goes, “Rode hard and put up wet.”

And we don’t want that.  Who wants that?  The Chinese and Russia.  When pride falls danger lurks close behind.  But we don't want WWIII either. We are stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Anyone in the intelligence community who doesn’t believe the economy and private sector tax base is directly attached to National Security is either ignorant, stupid, or an active agent for China or Russia.  

And, our once American, but now American based globalist corporations no longer have as much incentive to remain loyal the the United States, another article for another day.  Many of them became super wealthy through cheap Chinese labor and they certainly will not support policy changes that will add tariffs to Chinese goods or affect their globalist bottom line in other ways.  A true globalist corporation with strong Chinese connections and wide profit margins due to their Chinese partners is not fully American, by default.  They can be, but money is their God and their loyalties are not probably with the United States.  I mean, come on.  This isn’t rocket science.  If an officer in the Agency received twice as much income from China as that officer collected with his US government paycheck, his motives would be questioned right?  If an agent with the Bureau received millions or billions of dollars from China and only made a hundred (or less) grand from the US government, his motive would be questioned right?  Corporations are no different.  They will influence policy that benefits their bottom line and helps China. The friend of my wallet is a friend indeed, right?  That is how many humans work, unfortunately.  Seemingly, that's how Congress works.  China has us by the balls in that respect.

And don’t think this article is only about the United States.  It is about what can and/or will happen in every country that trades too much with China; particularly the developed nations who have more power and influence to lose. We have become accustomed to being at the top, but what now?  

This trend will not only hurt the developed countries or continents.  Other countries in continents such as South America and Africa and other underdeveloped countries.  Look at the recent election win in Brazil, most likely a Chinese puppet.  For a futuristic glimpse, just look how the Chinese government treats its people.  A surveillance state.  Say something negative and get detained or disappear forever.  Spies don’t get put in jail; they are assassinated.  No true freedom of speech or religion.  Aggressive tactics.  We don’t want that here or in South America or Mexico or any country right?   In some intelligence circles they circulate the idea that China has become powerful because they are authoritarian and think long term.  That might lead a group of people to err in thinking that we should do that in the United States.  But that is wrong in so many ways.  We should admit that Kissinger and Rockefeller are wrong and perhaps unduly influenced by the Soviets or China to aim us in that direction. We can't proceed without admitting we were wrong?  Who wants to admit they were wrong?  Russia admitted that communism didn't work and switched to capitalism and even the Chinese switched to a hybrid capitalistic economy to gain wealth.  We gave them the tools for that rise.  And that reason combined with the unbalanced trade is what caused their military and political power to grow.  They have risen because we have given them the money (via unbalanced trade) to rise.  We built their military with our American dollars.  And they are winning because they have a long term blueprint and strategy. And because the continue subverting the US and other developed countries.

But here is the key to understanding.  China and Russia will support legislation that benefits their World Domination agenda, but they will sharply oppose legislation that will strengthen American and weaken their long term plan to control the New World Order.  You can bet your last dollar on that.  It is how you see which helps the US and what hurts the US.  This isn't just about elections - it is about US policy/law.  Likewise, you will see the traitor corporations stand up and resist any legislation that benefits the US and is neutral or hurts China.

So, we see changes being made now, but hopefully not too late.  And hopefully, not just for one four-year term.  Further, let’s pray we will continue to not just survive but thrive at the community level and on the world stage. And that other countries will not have to suffer and can remain at least stable and happy without resorting to wars.

So on this 4th of July weekend, the future of my country is on my mind.  I wish it the best and with that I wish our people the best.  And I do not harbor bad feelings for Chinese or Russian citizens.  I love everyone.  No one can help where they were born or what their government is up to.  Many of us want to thrive and nearly all of us want to at least survive.

Remember this.  One cannot rise without another falling. That is simple math, not unproven theory.  There is not such thing in the real world as equality, only uneducated losers.  There will always be that one or more countries who want to be the leader of the world and are willing to go to great lengths to ensure they are the top dog.  Before China entered the WTO, they did not have a chance.  But Kissinger and Rockefeller gave them the tools to rise and become our peer competitor. Call it Chinese assertiveness or Chinese aggression, but most of us know where it is headed.  They are the rising lion and they see our weaknesses and will attack only when they feel strong enough.  Shame on us if we continue to devolve and allow ourselves to weekend.  We cannot be strong through debt, but only cash liquidity and a strong citizenry.  Weaken either, and there will be chaos.  Change must come before we have to focus all of our resources on an unhappy population and domestic issues.  China will then have free reign to build their world throne.

Good day and God bless.

Jesus Wept

 Jesus wept (John 11:35). The shortest verse in the Bible. The profundity of its meaning seeps into my soul. Prior to crucifixion, Jesus was there for everyone who crossed His path or heard of Him. After His crucifixion and return, He is here for us all.  He healed the sick and gave sight to the blind.  He enabled the lame to walk and transitioned the deaf to hear.  He restored dignity and smooth skin to the lepers whereas beforehand everyone considered them repugnant. He showed love to adulterers and prostitutes. He reached out to the wealthy, the prideful, the materialistic and the politicians. He showed us that the poor were just as important as the rich, perhaps more so.  Yet, despite being there for everyone and despite healing and befriending thousands; who was there for him as he hung in pain, dripping of blood and dying on the cross? Who would take him down and save Him?  Only a trilogy of Marys and the disciple John remained with Him to the end.  The strongest chose themselves and in similar spirit, chose Barabbas instead of Christ.   Chose convenience and sin instead of inconvenience and repentance.  Thousands of people could have converged on the site, overpowered the guards, removed Him from the cross and repaired his wounds.  Yet, where was one person willing to inconvenience themselves just a little to give Him aid in His time of need?  Maybe they were cowards or perhaps disheartened, not understanding the profundity of why He had to hang there and die a physical death in the first place.  After all, surely God can save His own Son from death?  Surely the Son can save himself and not need help?  Is that not what a King does – save himself so that he may continue to save his people?  An all-powerful king saves who he saves and kills who he kills.  Yet Christ hung there.  When His body went limp with death, perhaps the memory of his miracles was forgotten even more.  God could have saved Jesus.  Jesus could have saved Jesus.  Assuredly, it wasn’t the people’s job to save Jesus.  He died and arose so that WE might be saved and arise.  He went through all of that knowing that we would leave him hanging so that He could be the empowered sacrificed Son that Isaac was not.  The strongest King does not need to save Himself because He conquers death.  Likewise, the weakest kings always die eventually.  Jesus became the last physically legitimate sacrifice for sin in the world.  He became the scapegoat that we cast our sins upon and He carries those sins away so that we might live. A humble donkey carried the King into Jerusalem for this ultimate and eternal sacrifice.  Christ, the humble yet great and powerful King, now carries the burdens and the weight of our heavy sins if we accept Him for His Word.  "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king comes to you, righteous and having salvation is he, humble and mounted on a donkey."  (Zechariah 9:9).

Ode to Sunsets....

By Dewayne Allday 

A spring flower in December,

a whisper to remember,

the sunlight glistening on a ripple,

like diamonds and pearls.

Simple wiggle, little dimple,

why do you tease me so?

Don’t you know I love you,

My heart and mind you know.

A song singing in the wind,

a sound delightful to no end.

A soft bird singing love songs,

sunlight glistening on his wings.

A wind blowing from the east

bringing a fragrance fit for kings

and memories to remember

jousting my heart as it seems.

Ode to sunsets, I say who,

I dew, I dew, I dew love you.

Ode to sunsets, I say red,

painting the water,

her paint brush said.

Ode to sunsets, I say blue,

the sun has gone,

and a calm is due.

Spend Resources on the Disease, not the Symptoms

 As certain countries in the world continue to grow increasingly aligned with Russia and China and the BRICs financial system (shifting away from the US Dollar), or as countries turn to a more neutral or adversarial role concerning the West, it should be obvious that we as Americans, and our allies, who know the dangers of the extreme right and the extreme left, should invest in the United States, and in each other, despite past, current or future problems.  

Even if it is a knee jerk reaction, hopefully many are finding new energy, motivation, and wising up to and attempting to strategize and repair the core basis of these problems for America's long term survival and more so, the survival and successful flourishment of old school Western thought on freedoms, justice, growth and survivability, so that our children and grandchildren and great grandchildren will not be born into a Third World country in this great land, and not be born into a fallen country that is and will be continuously manipulated and controlled as a pawn and satellite by its present day adversaries.  

Instead of focusing all our government's attention and resources on the symptoms of decline (rising domestic issues, etc.), the decline should be a-politically reverse engineered, analyzed and corrected in appropriate steps that ensure future survival and success while carefully and strategically maintaining peace in the world.  And it  needs to be completed ASAP and by the correct people.

If the decline is real, and it is my strong opinion that certainly it is  real floating around with great collection of direct and indirect evidence that point to the decline, then it is also real that a few future symptoms of continued decline are increased American struggles, protests, open rebellion, etc.  

It is better strategically to fight the disease, not the symptoms.  Fighting the symptoms is spinning in circles and a waste of valuable resources and lives.  The disease, in my opinion, is (are) the same things that I have discussed for two decades; the building China's weaponry, world dominance and influence with our own American dollars through exponentially buying their products, building their factories, and giving them the tools and the money to take over the world.  We are by far the largest net importer in the world. Almost every European country was at least smart enough to be a net exporter instead of net importer.  Even though net exports, they still had Chinese imports that enriched China and consequently, Chinas allies.  

When we closed our factories down and encouraged the building of those factories in China, we closed our private sector tax base, shrunk the U.S. Treasury, increased the National Debt, and have yet to admit that all of this is not only a very serious National Security Risk, but perhaps the biggest National Security Risk in the history of our young country.  It brings with it problems that are yet to be discovered and undoubtedly will be the largest since the formation of the United States.  As our factories closed, so did our tax revenue and consequently our National Debt increased as we imprisoned and destroyed the lives and future of those who lost hope during the factory closings and transitions to this intertwined New World Order, as they have been calling it.  Was the true motive of globalism profit or a more peaceful world. It certainly was sold as creating a more peaceful world.  That peace doesn't seem to be working out.  As the US factory base closed and moved to China, we adversely affected a large segment of the population that just were not designed to moved into the tech sector.  And, there were no promises that China would not invade our tech sector after they had built all of the factories and used American dollars to do so.  Not only that, we continually encourage the migration of cheap labor and this process has further escalated that bleeding of American factory jobs and increased our prison populations.

The propensity of future protests, future rebellions, future revolutions or future civil wars can be reversed and stopped strategically a decade in advance instead of continuing a bad path and later instigating things further by killing or arresting future Americans.  To change future history, the investigation, analysis, conclusions and concrete steps (open and covert) for the mitigated reversal of an incredibly bad path must not wait until the time arrives before implementation.  The Chinese and Russians and Iranians and their other allies would love to see the every resource in the United States tied up in fighting its own domestic issues.  Tying up all of our country's valuable resources on these domestic issues will certainly  enable our adversaries free reign on the world.  It will also increase the debt and prison populations and lower the tax base even more.

A free man pays taxes into the US Treasury and no matter what he mouths out about politics, he still supports the government through his money and his community service.  A man in prison is a drain on the system who collectively and continually increases the National Debt.  Not a single government or government contract job is a net contributor to the U.S. Treasury.  The taxes they pay cannot even pay their own salary much less the car they drive, building they are housed in, utility bills, benefits.  Long term, an increasing prison population is unsustainable just like an increasing government job base and shrinking private sector is unsustainable.  Take a man and put him in prison and in doing so, take the entire net taxes (in theory) of ten private sector tax paying men and use 100% of that income to pay for the one inmate.  Unsustainable.  I'm not saying release the murderers on death row, I'm simply saying that globalism increased the prison populations in the United States.  The factories closed and the factories were all that a certain class of people had to get a job, hold it, find productive purpose and stay out of trouble.  Only so many of these men can cut grass for others.  Globalism took them out of jobs and the War on Drugs crime laws took them out of society.  Only so many can replace the college kids at the fast food restaurants and become lifetime fast food cashiers or cooks.  Say what you will, but this idea of a huge prison population is one of the most logical reasons, outside of hatred, that Hitler really gassed the Jews.  The Jews were starving to death in his prison camps via shortages of food or a way to provide for them.  

We either increase the private sector's tax base exponentially by limiting imports from inferior waged countries (especially imports from our adversaries) or we keep increasing the per capita ratio of our nation's prison population and keep enriching our adversaries in multiple ways.  

Easier said than done right?  Not really.  Tariffs on China and Russia but no tariffs on our allies and/or equally waged countries.  The increased price of those Chinese goods  hit by the tariffs will cause the prices on the Chinese goods to increase which will encourage more made in America products to be purchased.  Long term it will cause existing American factories to be built or expanded.  But few American factory is going to trust and spend millions or billions of dollars in expansions or start ups if the tariffs are for one Presidential term only. That would be foolish.  These complications have to be sorted out ahead of time.  And, Americans deserve some of that tariff money back to replace some of the income lost in through the increased prices of the tariffs.

The rise of global monopolies is another National Security threat.  People can say what they want, but outside of exceptions to the rule, money influences though and foreign investments are no different.  If thirty percent of an American based globalist monopoly's money is brought in from our chief adversary (China), then it is not smart to allow those same people to directly or indirectly influence or be in charge of any American economic or political policy or law regarding the tariffs on China.  It will not be to these companies benefit to hurt their bottom line by transitioning away from China and Russia.   And building a new relationship with Indonesia and the Philippines (or whoever) to transition away from China and to get the same cheap labor from those countries will not help the shrinking American tax base or bring American factories back.  The population loss to either a government job or to prison will continue.

Despite being an American based company, they have an undivided interest in protecting their cash flow and their cash flow is directly dependent on China.  If a globalist monopoly is publicly traded, they are loyal to their company and investors.  Global monopolies are a fairly new threat that have not been properly analyzed.   Years ago American monopolies were nearly 100% domestic in the U.S. and therefore had strongest desires to support the long term success and growth of the United States.  For the first time in history, the last forty years (since early 90s), that is no longer the case.  Not only do the large businesses and monopolies have divided loyalties, the entire American population were instructed and encouraged to invest their retirement portfolios in Asian stocks and mutual funds.  We are all in to China's rise and takeover of the world, it seems.  The days of American based loyalties (in general) through strong allegiances to the United States have been severely weakened by this detente and merger with the Chinese economy. Thank-you Henry Kissinger and David Rockefeller for these serious National Security threats.  If a CIA officer received monetary contributions of a million dollars (or billions) from the Chinese or Russians, then certainly that would be noticed and be considered a betrayal and/or security concern.  You wouldn't put that guy in charge of US policy.  You might just arrest him for treason.  It is no different with globalist monopolies who influence U.S. policy which directly determines the survivability of the United States on the world stage.  Loyalty is important and common sense is equally important.  At a minimum, it is ethically wrong and a serious conflict of interests to the National Security of the United States to have this sort of foreign influence over policy.  

As much as I've protested Elon's rise and questioned his motives, I never said that I disagreed with many of his thoughts or ideas.  Two decades before he Elon publicly stated it, I was suggesting IQ tests for Congress and the President and other top leadership positions.  But the truth is that the smartest person in the world can do the most damage in the world if they have an evil, vindictive, or self serving heart.  A dumb boy can barely get out  of his own backyard of influence but a very smart boy can conquer the world and the world be at his mercy.  He might chose us today, but he is not limited to America any longer.  Clearly Elon isn't that smartest person in the word, having a gifted IQ (reportedly) but he certainly has managed to focus on promoting his brand and influence worldwide and currently he has as much or more influence than about anyone else in the entire world. That means that if he is good, then things can be good, but if he has a black heart, and especially a black and impulsive heart, then the world is certainly in danger.  He wasn't born here.  He sees himself as a world leader (in my opinion).  Time will show his true intent, heart and loyalties.

Upcoming 33rd Anniversary of 9/11 1990 New World Order Speech (22nd Twin Towers)

Winston Churchill is by far one of the smartest politicians ever in modern written history, in my opinion. He was more than a politician; he was the prophet of politicians. I say this based on more than my opinion, but off a direct quote from him.  And to back his quote, he himself seems to be one of those who could "see into the future."

"Politics is the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn’t happen."

This tells me that he was an individual that had a strong gut feeling, some call intuition, for patterns of the distant to recent historical past, as well as a comprehensively deep understanding of the present situations and the trajectory of where those patterns would take "them" or "us" (us because the core elements of his mind, theories and concepts are true even now) in the future if policy, laws and movements were not re-directed to change the future into something better and less evil.  First you have to see it (as he did with Hitler) before you can stop or reverse the process (NAZIs taking over Europe).

Along the same lines as the above statements, he is also quoted as saying,

"The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see."   People don't change and neither does dangerous ideology, only the names of the people and dangerous ideology change.

And where would Europe and the USA be without Churchill's insight and influence?  What if he had the insight, but was not given the influence?  Germany probably would have taken over all of Europe.

He also understood that most people rather stick their heads in the sand than tackle the responsibility of reflecting and acting on uncomfortable truths as shown in his following wise words:

"Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened."

I wrote two books, one a tome (that no one would have read) and the other a fictionalized version of the tome that I felt would be more attractive to the public and more effectively get the word out. I asked two reputable and scholarly men whom I trusted to read and edit since I have no formal higher college degree, and both said they would not have the time. But, completing the task was not their fault, it was my own. Even with several serious setbacks and stumbles in my life, if only I had remained focused, the book or books could have been completed. This is something that I will have to live with the rest of my life, as it was my sincere heart's desire to get it out years ago and as they say, "Save the World" from what is coming. Many of the events that I predicted years ago have already come true. Some of these predictions regarding China, not Russia, you can see in a series of videos that I uploaded over ten years ago.

In my books, I discussed the fall of the wall of communism as being a complete farce. I saw it well before 2008 when I posted my thoughts on it being a farce back in the earlier days of Facebook. Literally seconds after posting my firewall started going crazy and popups were telling me that my computer firewall was under attack. This was back in the day when Zone alarm literally told you the name of the file and virus that was attacking you. I did a search online for virus and the two attacks were affiliated with software created and owned by a Russian Moscow based software company that at that time had offices all down the East Coast from New York to Atlanta, Georgia. One was a spyware program and the other a keyboard logger. I remember asking myself even way back then why would our intelligence community allow a Russian software company, particularly one that created spyware and keyboard loggers, to even have one office in the United States, much less over a dozen. I remember the pre-Clinton days and prior to Google earth when if you owned a GPS, its accuracy was scrambled to only 100 meters. This makes sense to me. Pubic accessed satellite images were few and fuzzy. Now, the owners of Google who are recent descendants of Moscow, Russian immigrants, have it so as anyone can just about zoom in on a car tag and read the numbers, and in some cases the AI doesn't even blur the tag numbers.

So, seeing patterns and trajectories come true in the future builds confidence in your intuition but when these trajectories and truths come true, it isn't necessarily a pleasant thing in that sometimes these things are not good and when there is yet time for some other far more catastrophic things to come true that you have seen beforehand, and those things are very bad, the knowledge of your past successful projections into the future become frightening. And it feels like you can only stand by helplessly and complain about it.  The truth is it is sometimes better to be left in the dark which leads to a more peaceful disposition but that will not fix the problems, reverse damage done or divert the future into something better and more stable.

That said, my gut is telling me some things that I am hoping is completely wrong about the upcoming 2023 anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.  To my knowledge, these ideas, patterns, connections and affiliations are original and mine alone.

9/11/23 is the 33rd anniversary of George HW Bush’s “New World Order" speech to Congress and 22rd anniversary of (exactly eleven years later) Rockefeller's twin towers being hit by terrorists, while David Rockefeller smoked a cigar and watched it in real time from one of his adjacent high rises (I read this confession by this narcissist bragging about it in his Memoirs by the self-proclaimed internationalist banker David Rockefeller). The terrorists, I believe were given intelligence and help by the Russians/Chinese and/or an American organization infiltrated by Russians and/or Chinese such as the Rockefeller Center (which has very strong historical CCP ties) or a sister organization. Eleven years after that (to the day) the Benghazi attacks occurred. This year of all years is the 33rd anniversary of George Bush’s speech. A few months after George Bush’s speech he gave another speech clarifying what he meant by NWO and discussed that the goals and dreams of the founding members of the United Nations were about to be realized. My question is “Who were the founding members of the UN (the Rockefellers who lobbied and donated the land?) and how long have they been dead and who has replaced this initial power structure?” Even though I am not big into numbers or numerology or symbols, I recognize that to some people certain numbers and symbols that have very special significance.  Thirty-three (33) is one such number.  Nine (9) is divisible by three (3), three (3) times and eleven (11) years apart equals thirty-three (33). 

To my knowledge I am the only person concerned about the potential patterns leading up to the upcoming anniversary of Bush’s 9/11 1990 NWO speech, the 9/11 2001 twin tower attacks and the 9/11 2012 Benghazi attack and the upcoming 9/11 2023 potential attack (33 years total). I did notice one of the planes that pulled people out of Afghanistan last year had the identification number 1109 on the side (what are the odds 1109 = 0911?). Fact, not conspiracy. A bunch of Afghans were chasing the plane, climbing on the outside as it was moving, and some fell off mid-flight. I have asked the question many times about whether or not the clear publicly available knowledge of the disorder of that pull out was strategic and intentional and whether or not the plan and goal was to bring unvetted terrorists who trained in the sands of Afghanistan completely out of reach of the radar of our intelligence community in Afghanization came here with a plan for the upcoming 33rd anniversary of the 1990 NWO speech to Congress on 9/11/23. If I were in the Intelligence Community, I would look into every single person who came back that day and keep an eye on them. The answer is that I don’t know, but I hope that I am completely wrong or that our intelligence community has seen this pattern also and stops any potential terrorist (Chinese/Russian) plan. Whatever the case, this the 33rd year after the initial twin tower attack is full of troubles, much talk and preparation of war and things appear to be escalating to an apex of something.  Is there an organization or state out there who feels the 33rd year will be the capstone attack and fulfilment of their plan?

So hopefully these numbers are all just a coincidence instead of a strategic pattern with purpose, but my fear is that the people who put the idea of a NWO in George Bush’s head actually had a different kind of NWO in mind; one that the US wouldn’t play a role in running. The truth is that Gorbachev discussed the New World Order at the UN General Assembly meeting in Manhattan in 1988, several years before Pres. Bush but only Bush seems to get the credit by our media and other outlets (questionable in itself). We were led to believe that the NWO was Bush's idea when it appears he was following someone else's lead instead of being a leader himself.  What that means is that if you are not the leader, it is someone else's long term vision that will come into being.  Gary Hart stated several times in one of his books (did he know and was he a part of it?  After all, he did have a weakness for women and spent months and months over years in Moscow and writing for a major Moscow based newspaper) that perhaps Gorbachev had a blueprint. And, I don't believe it was a blueprint to be a passive or submissive country.  Even after the fall, he was quoted as being a dedicated Socialist.  Lenin believed in world communism and spoke of it often.  The Soviet KGB clearly understood that a person with "charisma" can be used as a tool to infiltrate and destroy the enemy better than bombs can. Even the Greeks in their quest to conquer Troy were aware of a "Trojan Horse" strategy of giving "gifts." Charisma is a tool that is of the same Trojan Horse nature as it slips in undetected and takes off the guard of its enemies.  The story of Sampson in the Bible speaks of even the secrets that destroyed him were willingly given to his traitor bride through his weakness of love and trust.  Look at what Henry Kissinger accomplished with his intelligence and charisma by advising so many of our former Presidents and intelligence agencies that if he were secretly affiliated with the old Soviet block of Germany, we would be in serious trouble.  And we are. Look what our own government has allowed him to do as his private globalist consulting business, that by law, can never be audited by our own intelligence community.  How is that possible?  He consulted advice to other countries to help them "rise." This includes China and likely Russia as well.  Even if our intelligence community thought that giving him that "inside scoop" might give them information, what if the information he was giving them was falsified or what if the things he told the Chinese helped them rise, build their cities, their military and their intelligence, so that one day that might come back and take over the world?

In order for Gorbachev's blueprint (that Gary Hart seemed all too fascinated with in his book) to happen, certain people had to be neutralized. In my opinion, James Jesus Angleton who ran the CIA counterintelligence program for many years, had to be fired and those who were being the firing were either heavily influenced by the Soviets or in alignment with them. I have watched this man and his words and body language very closely, and I am usually a good reader of body language, and this guy loved our country and, in my opinion, was telling the truth that were in serious danger as one system (communism) was attempting to take over our own culture and system in the world.

One of Angleton's beliefs align with my own, and I only recently the past two years realized that his ideas aligned with mine. All of these years, I thought that I was the only who to believe it, and that it was an original idea in my own head outside of the Soviets who internally were aware of their own strategy and this "Peace Trojan Horse" which was and is a lie.  To this day they will lie and blame it on NATO expansion, but that's just a continual distraction of the truth - they were planning it all along. 

That is that the fall of the wall was a complete farce all along intended to strategically take our guards down (and it worked!) while the enemy secretly plotted to take over the world and at some point, make their move. Angleton acquired some of this knowledge from Anatoliy Golitsyn who wrote the books The Perestroika Deception and New Lies for Old. Golitsyn escaped the KGB and attempted to tell our own CIA of the Soviet plots to pretend to give up stake in the world order and have no desire to gain back past glories. In my opinion, all the mudslinging against these two men to discredit them was to destroy their influence because they were telling the truth. In effect, they were in the way and had to go. And the Soviets won. Let's face it, if Golitsyn was telling lies, why would the Soviets want him to go?  Why would they want to take him out?  Why would they want to neutralize him? Why would they want to neutralize Angleton?

J.R. Nyquist said it this way,“I have written many essays detailing the facts about this so-called “collapse of communism.” In all that time nobody wrote a detailed argument showing I was wrong. They just repeated slogans the communists had given them. In fact, those who warned about the coming fake collapse of communism – James Angleton and Anatoliy Golitsyn – were not dealt with by rational argument. They were libeled in books whose authors did the talk show circuit. They were dragged through the mud and called madmen by leading conservatives like William F. Buckley, Jr. But there was no rational argument against their true predictions of the future. Angleton and Golitsyn had been right. And now the end of the long range strategy is upon us.

Another escaped Soviet Spy, KGB defector, who was on to the Soviet's internal strategy, escaped the system, and later lectured at universities and gave television interviews was Yuri Bezmenov. This man would have to be discredited and neutralized also. Angleton's neutralization was to lose his job, influence and reputation with the CIA and the torment of having to live the rest of his life, drinking and thinking of the powers trying to take out the country and way of life that he loved so much. Golitsyn, to my knowledge, was in hiding and had protective cover until his death, but he and his ideas were neutralized by propaganda and discreditation. Yuri Bezmenov, I believe was neutralized by assassination when he went on a planned trip that the Soviet's became aware of to visit his child and divorced wife on Christmas. Reportedly, he suffered a heart attack or some nonsense, but I do not believe it, and even if it was, I believe he was given something to take him out that way. Everyone who knew of their plan and tried to stop it, had to be neutralized, one way or another.

We only have a little over four months to September 11th (33rd anniversary of twin tower attacks) to find out if it is all just a coincidence. BTW, Columbia University wrote the following piece and if there was ever a communist political university in the US, it is certainly Rockefeller influenced Columbia University, the university that I consider the very politically active World Communist University.

The unfortunate truth is that the majority of people's minds are lazy and try to dodge controversy, if possible, even if that means to believe lies that bring comfort and runaway from truth that brings discomfort. Love of country has to overcome these discomforts for the sake of the survival of our people and their peaceful and potentially prosperous way of life.  At least the idea of having a good life brings about production. If everyone was equal and no chance of rising above, it would be a very boring and unproductive life, such as what happened to the Communist State-run economy of the Soviet Union. No one could rise above, and they knew it so all things were melancholy and all production in all sectors (unless you were a politician and corrupt) barely low level mediocre.  The Soviets finally figured out the system was failing and even they turned their economy into a capitalistic one whiel retaining central power and communist politics, just as China figured it out when Kissinger pushed for them to enter the World Trade Organization, which long term and combined with Bill Clinton's policies of the 90s, crippled us all.

Months after President George HW Bush's speech to Congress about the NWO on 9/11/1990, he gave another speech about the NWO where he stated that soon the ideas and goals of the founding members of the United Nations would be realized. My question is whether these people (now dead, but whose organizations and monetary influence still likely exist through trusts and organizations etc.)? My second question is, "Were these people led by their idealism or was it their idealism of a new world order that allowed them to be easily influenced by the Soviet's and Lenin's idea of world communism?  Or were they just downright criminals who wanted to see the US fall and lose its leadership position in the world?

And lastly, to quote Sir Winston (my biggest political hero of the past hundred years):

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."

What he is saying here is based on a similar quote of his when he surmised that calamity could have easily been prevented if things (laws, etc) were put into place well in advance, instead of waiting until the day the emergency comes and at that time issue knew jerk impulsive reactions that will require a lot of money, energy and bloodshed.  While it is fantastic that Sir Churchill left behind his words and wisdom, I'm confident that he is now rolling in his grave that no one is listening to his very wise words.

Shadow's Free

by Dewayne Allday 

12 November 2022

A dule of spying dove,

hovered out of reach, 

above, else they be eaten,

by the Shadow.

They had watched a friend

get swallowed up as

Shadow's nose, mouth, 

and friend pointed up,

dropped into Shadow's belly

in one triumphant gulp.

Excitement, freedom,

no more fences.

Admiration for wildness,

nature in uncompromised form,

perplexing perceived flaws,

all of which, cut into stone by

by natural dog bona fide laws;

unregulated, untamed,

and equally unapologetic

and forgotten by domestication.

Survival was a pack

that he had lost.

The dove hoped for kindness,

in their own way,

but kindness Shadow knew not.

His blood controlled him,

his nature remained with him,

so, he was dark, elusive, 

untamable, and hence 

even Peter Pan tossed him away.

Shadow never boasted;

wildness his only desire,

to eat, sleep, procreate

was to be free;

the only thing he knew

or would ever know. 

Bonds with humans or

any human association

against his nature.

He simply is and 

there was nothing else.

Wendy Darling was

no darling in his eyes.

Not in his blood was love,

but untamed wildness was.

Bad blood untamable, yet

that blood was his alone,

at no fault of him.

Blameless in his ferociousness,

he understood nature

when no one else did.

Only once he wagged his tail

upon crossing that

 narrow bridge to hell.

At the crossroads was a sign

that pointed nowhere,

confusing all.

It simply said, 

"Shadow Left,"

and below that, 

"Hell to him was heaven."

"The Path to Power" by JD Flowers

The following four-page story was hand-written by JD Flowers of Sweet Water, Alabama on lined looseleaf paper with a 5-punched left margin.  It is unknown whether he wrote it himself or copied it from a book or other media (there is no indication).  Whatever the case, it was important enough to JD to handwrite a 4-paged copy on lined notebook paper which is now aged a nice yellow-brown color.  Date unknown.  The four pages are transcribed below.  If anyone knows of a published source for this, please let me know.

"The Path to Power

One of the greatest drives in the heart of man is the desire for power.  Used for good, this desire can bring happiness; or when used for selfish purposes, it can ruin a life.  I have a story to tell of a young man who traveled on the path to power.  He wasn't especially rich or intelligent.  He had no special talent, or so he thought.

The boy was drifting on the highway when he came to a side road.  At this point a sign had been erected upon a gate, saying, "To Power - Knock and enter."  This was queer.  Wasn't he on the wide, paved road that so many people before him had taken to success?  The city of Pleasure and Good Times was ahead.  Here was a narrow way promising power to its followers.  He could not see beyond the promise unless he ventured through the gate.  He could not follow this new road because of an immobilizing fear of the unknown, neither could he bring himself to drift farther.

It was a hard decision to make, this choice between two roads.  Then quietly a voice from old Sunday School days seemed to whisper, "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."  But I just want power.  Do I have to do the rest?  I want to be the strongest person in town - or do I?  Do I really know the meaning of power?

Each day he searched out truth on what constituted genuine power.  More and more he came to depend on the Bible as a guide in his studies.  Gradually his desire for power grew into a passion to know the truth.  "If I will ever be rid of this doubt, I must know the truth."  "Are there really two kinds of power?  In Psalms 62:11 I find 'Power belongs until God.'  Lasting power is from above.  The victories I win in life will depend upon how faithful I am to my God."

"Lord, I have been on the wrong way."  He knocked upon the gate, which opened to the path to power.

Along this path he learned humility.  "I will run,"  he thought, but the road was built of rough stones.  He walked.  When he would have sat on the grass to rest there were thorns.  He could not do as he wished along this trail and get anywhere.  Instead, he meekly accepted the existing circumstances and forged ahead.

Prayer and perseverance became the backbone of his journey. He first leane3d to pray when he was in trouble.  Soon prayers of thankfulness were coming from his heart.  Prayer provided strength for him to climb the many hills.  Slowly fears began to disappear. He was not without temptations, but through ceaseless prayer many were overcome.

The path was not so isolated from the rest of the world that he lost contact with other people.  Some were on the path; some were on the highway.  Since his heart had been enclosed with a spirit of meekness, the man could see that his brother's eccentricities were no worse than his own.  A love for and better understanding of his neighbor resulted.  A desire to rid his life of those evil influences which would be a hinderance to observers was created.  His new Christian love was really beginning to grow.

One night he had a dream.  He had reached the center of a rocky peak overlooking green meadows and was in a deep study.  He had come this far without learning for what purpose power is granted.

He cast his eyes across the fields and saw a flock of sheep, wandering aimlessly.  No shepherd could be found.  "I cannot leave their sheep alone and exposed to the perils of the night.  I must care for them until the owner comes," and he arose to do his work.

This man has gained a new happiness in life, for he has received power from the Holy Spirit - power to serve."

The Rebirth of Althaus

 

The Rebirth of Althaus

by Dewayne Allday

 There once was a man named Althaus who lived in a swamp.   The swamp hardened him.  Swamp hardness was all he knew and he was a prideful man... as prideful as anyone could be who lived in a swamp and only knew swamp things.

Full sun never fell there and neither on Althaus or his wife Nisha.  There was swamp filtered light seen through thick branches and murky fog.  Since Althaus did not know light, he did not understand light.  But, the shadows, dampness and dangers of the swamp were well known to him.  To Althaus, light was as foreign as love.

There were dangers like snakes and alligators, quagmires and quicksand, but worse were the mosquitoes which tortured you yet allowed you to live another day of suffering.  And, there were very large turtles that occasionally mistook a toe for a snack of worm.  Althaus was particularly lucky because he still had seven toes.  His less fortunate friends told him it was providence but he had no immediate belief in the idea.  And, there was the panther.  Whether black or brown was unimportant but what mattered most were his teeth and claws.   To Althaus and Nisha, these swampy dangers were simply life.

And, then there was the dragon.  It was said the beast had a forked red tongue that extended out like twin serpents and its scales were so dark red they appeared black among the shadows as he walked along the old cypress knees guarding the swamp boundary.  When he steps out into the filtered light a glimpse of his dark reddish-black glossy scales shows forth.  It was said the glossy-slick scales gave better dynamics as he could fly quite efficiently to catch wanted prey. Althaus feared facing the dragon most.... as such a rendezvous with fate he believed himself to not have the courage or the strength.  Everyone in the swamp knew about the dragon deep in the swamp and few wanted to face him.  Those who braved the swamp boundary before were said to have disappeared into the next life... or into his belly. 

Not all things in the swamp were bad, after all, despite the darkness, mosquitoes and misery, there were other swamp people and the occasional deer, Blue Heron, Swamp Sparrow or colorful woodpecker.  He sometimes imagined the old cypress trees as ancient living creatures full of wisdom that he did not have himself. 

Nisha became with child gave birth to a beautiful daughter with pale skin, blonde hair and blue eyes - their first child.  When she arrived, he felt joy briefly soon followed by grief.  The birth was difficult and almost as soon as this new life appeared, Nisha's life faded into the dark night.  The entire swamp grieved at the old and rejoiced for the new simultaneously.  Althaus named the girl Etxeberria.

Now, Etxe was stronger than most and thrived through the years despite the harsh surroundings.  Her blonde hair and blue eyes were radiant, and her light permeated all the swamp's darkness and shadows.  She certainly was different.   Althaus noticed she asked honest, yet blunt questions.  Children usually do.

"What is outside of the swamp?" she asked him one day.

"Nothing," he replied.  "The swamp is all we know.  The swamp is all there is."

"But father, I've heard the frogs talk of a new place of light and beauty.  They cannot go because it will dry out their skin but we can," she said.

"The frogs will say anything to tease you Etxe."

"But father, the frogs are not liars like the snakes."

"Have they told you about the dragon who lives near the edge.. near the cypress knees?"

"Yes.  They, also told me we have to be strong and face him," she replied.

"Well, I don't know about that young lady," said Althaus.  "Who is strong enough?  Who has a sword powerful enough?"

"You are!  I am!" she said with youthful exuberance.  "I believe in you!  And you don't need a big sword but instead a big heart!  The frogs said that we would thrive in the light and must not stay in the swamp forever. It's their fate but not our fate.  We have a choice!"

"You cannot pass into the light without first defeating the dragon, perhaps dragons," Althaus said.

"It is said that One defeated the dragon on our behalf years ago and you have to have faith and believe," Etxe retorted.

Althaus considered her proposal briefly.  "What is faith?" he asked himself.  "And, what do kids know?"

"Let's talk about it another day," he told her.  "We must find food for today, not light for tomorrow.  Besides, the frogs have told you they like it here.  I'm sure the alligators and snakes will say the same."

"But the alligators try to eat me, and snakes try to deceive me and the mosquitoes bite me!!  The frogs are friends and tell me of a better place, whereas they cannot go but briefly, but we can!  Please father!   Let us make the trip soon before the dragon grows triumphant in our minds."

Althaus looked down and saw that her smile seemed brighter and her eyes were beaming something... Maybe light?  The old man's demeanor was changing and so was his heart.  If he was to find this faith Etxe spoke of, he must first find some courage.  "Change is scarier than snakes, alligators and dragons," he thought to himself.

"I need you to be strong for me now so later I may be strong for many," she said. 

Althaus thought to himself, "One day she will be a mother.  If she is to be strong later, I need to be stronger now!  Perhaps strong enough to fight a dragon or two! " Etxe's words seemed to lighten his heart.  She was so young, yet so wise - wiser than the ancient beings in the old cypress trees.  He had listened to the snakes too long!

"I do not know what I do not know but I am willing to defeat the dragons for you," Althaus said.

"Go for you.  Go for me.  Go for us.  Go for it!  Have faith!  Father, the strength of those before us will give us the courage we need," Etxe said. "Our ancestors reside inside us.  We simply have to pay attention to their strengths and mitigate their weaknesses.  Ride the strengths, protect and sharpen the weaknesses.  Respect but conquer the vices!"

"How in the swamp would a kid know these things?" Althaus thought.  "It is as if she is as old as time itself."

There was much darkness in the swamp but the light in Etxe's words seemed to lift the fog and lighten the dark.  Instinctively, he noticed a bright star in the east through the dense cypress understory. 

"The frogs say the star is the way but the snakes say we should stay," she said.

"Then, let us listen to the frogs!  Let us follow the star!" Althaus said and clasped her hand as they began their journey.

They waded the water, the traversed the muck, they dodged the alligators and slapped the mosquitoes. 

"It's always easier to follow the old trails than the new.  The old ones are well worn and well known to us, therefore easy.  It's habit.  The new trails are always harder at first because you have to blaze the trail and open them up.  That takes work and time.  But it gets easier, and the old trails grow up with vines and brambles never to be found again," she said.

"Again, how does she know these things?" he thought to himself.

Finally, after days of travel, they began walking on dry ground and soon walked near a serpent who said, "Stop! There's a dragon up ahead.  Why abandon this place?  The swamp is everything you know, and you only know what you know."

"If we stay here, we will certainly die, just as my wife died," Althaus replied to the serpent.

"You will not surely die," the serpent said. "The dragon protects the boundary of his land, and you will certainly be safe within it.  Pay no attention to the mosquitoes, the alligators, the other serpents and especially those pesky frogs!  Stop right there or you will be dead!"

But Althaus just stepped on his head and stuck to his commitment to conquer his dragons and reach the Light.  He would not listen to the snakes any longer.

Once near the edge of the cypress trees and knees, Etxe said, "Father, have faith in the Light."

"I do," he said.  And, this time, he believed her.  It turns out there were several dragons but he valiantly and successfully fought them all.  He did it for her mostly but also for himself.  Together they transcended the darkness into the light.  Rebirthed as they stepped out with all of time in front of them.

And except for the occasional mosquito, the light and new path were good.

Impenetrable

I have built a wall,
and hearts bounce off
as arrows off stone.
A mighty fortress -
Impenetrable.
I'll die here alone.

Grass is Greener

Pretending the grass isn't greener on the other side of the fence isn't always a reality, but happiness comes when you figure out how to make the grass much greener on your side of the fence and carry that with you wherever you go.

I Can Wait

By Dewayne Allday

I could love a hundred, or I will love the one.

The past is a darkness reversed, yet not undone.

Time breaks beating hearts, yet time also repairs.

It heals the hard heart that’s weary of despair.

The dark rain clouds float by as I let them all go.

Sweet scents swirl around me and opportunities follow.

Summer kisses winter months ‘tis the seasons of change.

How I long for that day when this heart is un-caged.

I can wait for her because yesterday I did not.

The past mistakes of life have traversed these old knots.

I can wait because age and patience grows wise -

I’ve read my own book and there will be no more cries.

A hundred to one, no - two lovers become one.

The clouds soon depart exposing the sun.

And the smiles of friendship, a lifetime forever,

Laughing together, through storms and good weather.

I can wait, I will wait, I am waiting.

'Tis Time Two Blooms

By Dewayne Allday

A flower blooms when it's time,
And in the cellar rests fine wines.

A dream awakens before my death,
Awaits the mouth, oh sweetest breath.

The sun will rise, and it will set,

Between we shined, between we wept.

A hand reached out with tender vibes,
A silent whisper silenced cries.

The colors swirled around her heart,
A cellar door kept them apart.

The flower feared the bloom be cut,
It withered still - time withered much.

Pain set in stone, two softened hearts,
Two fine wines, two blooms apart.

The mind plays tricks on the soul,
And the heart does as it is told.

Absent a Celestial Body

By Dewayne Allday

A planet missing from my view,

But there just the same -

Oh, I know.

The gravity of its tugging

Is pulling down bricks;

One lick, two licks, three bricks,

A wall built with time,

Hiding nothing but the other side

To give, receive or reciprocated,

Except a feeling of colorful

Surprises to be explored

As the dampness of the morning dew

Grows weary, reflecting off the dry grass

In a summertime of coldness

And a wintertime of warmth;

A ball of fire that dances in the sky,

Bubbling with vivacity, yet

Hiding in the shadows unforeseen

For various reasons,

To everyone, especially myself;

Because I dare not see it,

Lest I am blinded forever more.

Calm the Storm

By Dewayne Allday 10/20/2016

Calm the storm, my ship is worn,

My sinful sails singed and torn.

Slow the winds, that skew my path,

Turn it true is what I ask.

Remove the rocks, that tear my bow,

Give me wisdom – teach me how.

Bright my light, that weakens still,

Restore the oil, be it your will.

Strengthen my keel, rock to and fro,

Thicken my skin, I need it so.

Roughen my deck, slippery and wet,

Lighten the falls of this old wretch.

Peace be still, I listen now,

I question why, I ever doubt.

Brighten the skies, the clouds depart,

Lord strengthen and protect my heart.

Light by day and lighthouse by dark,

You are my hope, You are my Ark.

Time is my Lover

By Dewayne Allday

Time is my lover, but is time my friend?

It chases me until I pursue it back -

The beauty of its essence intriguing.

Its soft warm breath tingles my neck,
Searching for that tender soft place
that brings balance to casual chaos.
It searches me, embraces me, empowers me,
Yet enslaves me and for what purpose,
My eyes have yet to become conscious of,
Yet my body still reaps the sub-conscious.
I can’t be still - I pace the floor,
Back and forth, to and fro,
I wonder still in restless nights,
Why time keeps me awake.
Pondering still her sifting angles
That steals and sets my evenings late.
And if it’s not love, inter-tangled,
As a vine intertwined with a tree,
Then what other love is this vine,
Divine, forever and always,
Intermingled in my heart and mind,
As if the heart and mind are one -
Time being their mediator.
Time is my lover, but is time my friend?
Sometimes I wonder.

The Path

By Dewayne Allday

Hickories and hollows

And bygones of tomorrows -

Sifting myself

from the past.

Yesterday begets today

And today next week -

Intertwined and immortalized

as prophetic speak.

Hyssops and hiccups

And struggles and missteps –

Separating the wheat

From the chaff.

A sunrise, a sunset

A new day, the same path –

Forewarned and well worn

Of the danger I hath.

Roses and poses

A broken compass unsure –

A tree’s moss on the north;

A man’s faith - a cure.

"Journey to Bondage” Bridge

 

 

Dale Carnegie is quoted as saying “Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.”

Today I ask you to get busy because unwanted changed is coming to Selma. While it may appear on the surface that the rest of the country wants this change, when you look deeper into the situation and start talking with local people of all colors, you come to realize that something is off. Then when you look even deeper into who is instigating this change and the rewards they will receive if the change comes, then you’re getting closer to the truth.

The most famous bridge in the world is close to being renamed to the “Journey to Freedom Bridge”. On Wednesday, June 3rd, 2015 The Alabama Senate on Wednesday voted to rename Selma's Edmund Pettus Bridge. Senator Hank Sanders is sponsoring this bill.

It’s not Senator Sander’s sponsorship of the bill that alarms me as much as the real wizard behind the

curtain. The organization “Students UNITE” are the puppets in this game. They collected the 180,000

signatures on a change.org petition urging the renaming, but the real wizard, in my opinion, is their parent organization The Freedom Foundation. Yes, the cult.
 

So when you look at the name “Freedom Foundation” and you look at “The Journey to Freedom Bridge” which is the proposed new name, you can see an obvious connection to the narcissism of the cult. Also,

if you understand anything about cults, business and marketing, you can see this will be the cult’s biggest recruiting scam yet.
 

In society today, the inaction of good people seems to be disproportionately lagging behind the action of groups promoting mendacious propaganda. People forget that anyone can speak the truth, but as an old Sunday school teacher once told me “It’s not what you do, but it’s your motives that count”.
 

A guy by the name of Haile Selassie said; “Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of

the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph.”  Sounds good on the surface but in looking further, we see that Haile Selassie was the Emperor of Ethiopia and millions of people still believe and worship him as Christ - God Incarnate, even though he publically denied being a divine entity.
 

We must be very careful who we follow and pledge our support to.
 

2 Corinthians 11:14 says “even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light”.
 

That said, I beg you to contact your state representatives ASAP. Call today. The bill still has to pass the House of Representatives and be signed into law by the governor. Don’t wait until tomorrow.

Write letters, flood their offices with calls, or speak to them face to face.  We cannot with good conscious allow this travesty to occur. We cannot allow a nationally recognized cult to prosper and grow off of the backs of the real foot soldiers that crossed that

bridge and made a real difference decades back. Cults are not about freedom, but instead bondage, using manipulating and controlling tactics to both recruit and retain members.
 

John F. Kennedy once said, “There are risks and costs to action. But they are far less than the long range risks of comfortable inaction.”

It’s the group Student’s Unite striking down the idea of renaming the bridge after civil rights activist Amelia Boynton or U.S. Rep. John Lewis and instead pushing the “Journey to Freedom” name

that should make their motives seem obvious. That old quote from my Sunday school teacher is ringing

loudly.“ It’s not about those who crossed the bridge, it’s about the cult.

 I’ll leave you with some words of wisdom from Martin Luther King, Jr., “He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.”
