As the Song goes ” You don’t know how lucky you are Boy, back in the U.S.S.R.”. Living in a Democratic Society we take everything for granted. Free Speech, the right to bear Arms” Freedom of Worship and the Right to Vote. Over the years I have witnessed so many Atrocities in this World, I feel privileged living in the U.S.A. Showing my Appreciation I embrace the Ideological Phrase ” Ask not what your Country can do for you, but what can you do for your Country” taking that Ideology further ” Always support your Country, your Government only when deserving”. Falling in line and supporting a Government that is undeserving of your Vote and support is a dangerous thing. I am forever amazed how People don’t learn from History. Before the rise of the Third Reich the German People had a working Democracy. Out of Despair and disgust they decided to abandon their Established from of Government for a Glib Silver Tongue Talker promising to make Germany Great Again. Look at the Outcomes. When you entrust your Powers of Attorney to someone, make sure they are of sound Mind and have your best Interest at Heart and not thei’rs. Electing a President is giving that Person your Powers of Attorney. In Spanish the Words, Jesus salga y sana means Jesus saves and keep. A President is entrusted with the same Responsibilities. Putting his agenda over yours is Negligible. Putting Democracy at Risk is Negligible on your part. I am forever amazed how the most Educated among us can allow themselves to be Duped, Manipulated, Controlled and follow a Pied Piper over the Edge of Sanity. January Sixth tells me that our Government can be Toppled very easily. Hitler had the whole Country saying “Seik Heil”. Be careful of what you ask for America, you just might get it.
During the late Sixties and early Seventies there were a large amount of Migrants in America. They were Americans leaving thei’r Homes for Canada and Latin America. They were young Men who turned Eighteen and was now Eligible to be drafted into the U.S. Army. The U.S. Army was getting a Lesson in Vietnam, fighting in an unconventional Warfare. Guerilla Warfare is when you don’t know who are the Enemy and who are the People you are supposed to protect. Pretty much the way that Americans are heading today. The Casualties were more than the Government was reporting, the need for replacements were great.
Yet young Americans refused to wear the Uniform. Draft Dodger was a dirty and unpatriotic word. Yet many young Americans were crossing Borders to escape the Draft. 1973 Israel was fighting a War with Three Arab Countries Simultaneously. For a while it appeared that America’s help was needed in the Middle East. With Israel’s Resilience no Troops were Deployed. The World was Burning. Just Ten years earlier the Threat of Nuclear War came close to Reality. The Missile Scare, lasted 1 month, 4 days (16 October – 20 November 1962) confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union which escalated into an international crisis when American deployments of missiles in Italy and Turkey were matched by Soviet deployments of similar ballistic missiles in Cuba, Ninety miles from Miami.
The confrontation is often considered the closest the Cold War came to escalating into a full-scale nuclear war. The Cold War put America and Russia in deep Freeze. All through my Teenage life, my Biggest Fear was that America could become another Hiroshima. The Streets of America was congested with Protesters every Day, Blacks and Whites for different Objectives. Blacks wanted Equality, Whites wanted thei’r young Men out of Vietnam.To say that America was in Turmoil would be a Huge Understatement. I never thought that I would live to see the Land of the Free in such Turmoil as it is Today. Back then there was a Huge Threat from Sleepers ( Russians living in America waiting for Orders).
Owning an Assault Rifle is the Fashion
Today the Sleepers are Americans, they are Extremists working in the Government ( 150 Lawmakers tried to overturn an Election). They are Serviceman wearing Uniforms that my Tax Dollars paid for. They are Police Officers who are supposed to protect me. They are my Neighbors Two Thousand strong who stormed the Capitol looking for the Speaker of the House and the Vice President. Among the overall Ten Thousand strong many came to do Battle, they were well Armed. Many were Retired Servicemen and Women trained in Tactical Warfare, the Woman who was shot and killed was One. They were awaiting Orders that never came. If the Order was given, the small Contingent of Capitol Police would have been no Match.
All Government Employees in the Capitol would have been killed. My Wife was a Federal Employee for Twenty Five years. On January Sixth My Body was Numb with Fear for the People cowering in the Basement of the Capitol. On Nine Eleven the same Numbness covered me, thinking of the Nine Hundred fellow Coworkers working for Solomon Brothers in the World Trade Towers. Is this my America or did I fell asleep and woke up in the Middle East. Today I have a New Fear, not for myself, but for the Eighth years old living in America today. I ask myself, from what they are Witnessing today, how is it shaping thei’r Social Values. How safe will they be, Twenty five years from now, living in Beirut U.S.A. in the year 1972.
Going to work and your Bus Explodes, Eating Alfresco and Thugs drive by and spray Bullets. This is how Extremists work. Today Americans are fair Game for Radicalization on both sides of the Fence. If a Civil War breaks out in America, that would only Embolden Russia and China to fulfill a lifelong ambition of flying their Flags over the Capitol. Divide and Conquer is a Tool used by the Greatest Conquerors of the World. This is Sixty Eight years of learning talking to you. You need to get rid of all the Bullshit Conspiracies and all the Extremism that is weakening this Democracy. Parting Words, all the Great Empires of the World have fallen, the African, the Egyptian, the Aztecs, the Roman the Ming Dynasty. Are we approaching the fall of America?. I was only Fifteen years old in 1969, it was all the Bullshit that was going on that Dissuade me from Higher Learning, thinking that it was only a Capitalist Tool. Today the Future of the Fifteen years old out of School watching Television all Day is in your Hands and the way you vote, the next time you select a President.
Those of you who hangs on to my every word knows that I am one of the Greatest Do it yourself Person. At Eight years old I was determined to find out how Electricity works. I took Two wires, stripped them of their Insulation and plugged them in, I learned. Since then I have wired a House did all the Plumbing and everything in Construction. Fixed Cars Major Appliances Boilers and Heaters. Also thought myself how to write. But my most Favorite Accomplishment started at Thirteen, taking Pictures, around Thirty I read a couple of Books on Photography. I learned later that it’s either you’ve got it or you don’t
Sometime in the Eighties a young Gay Man in Greenwich Village was chased and beaten. His Attackers were all Boys from good Homes. They all had Baseball Bats, they beat him to a Pulp, he did not survive the Attack. Just about the same Time a young Black man’s car broke down in Howard Beach. He went into the Neighborhood Pizzeria to make a Phone call. He was setup on by a Woolf- Pack of Haters all wielding Baseball Bats. The chased him to his Death crossing the Belt Parkway. These events happened Forty years ago and will happen again. When you have People like Marjorie Taylor in Governments, that is a Guarantee that Hate Crimes is as American as Apple Pie. Do not forget that Governments are a Representation of the Populous. Lets not forget that we’ve got a kinder gentle Machine Gun Hand. Did anyone noticed that those M.A.G.A. Boys all had Machine Guns. America the Choice is in your Vote.
