Abortion – ProLife vs. Murder on Demand

“Life begins at conception.” “Abortion is murder.”Abortion is a moral dilemma that continues to circulate in society by two groups that have been arguing for and against abortion policies in the United States – Pro-life and Pro-choice. Democrats argue that Women’s Reproductive Rights are in jeopardy, but a large number of the so-called women are young teenagers and women with economic challenges. Pro-life advocates argue that life for the unborn fetus begins at conception. While opposition Pro-choice denies this argument as a fact – their argument is life begins when a pregnancy goes to term. However, the Pro-choice argument isn’t about when life begins; rather it centers on a woman’s right to choose. This a choice at odds with the many Pro-life groups that contend abortions are a wholesale market for murder without consideration of life.

Now, to be fair. Abortions have existed for centuries without question. A written abstract by G Hovey called Abortion: a history reveals that in the early Roman Catholic church, abortion was permitted for male fetuses in the first 40 days of pregnancy and female fetuses in the first 80-90 days. Not until 1588 did Pope Sixtus V declare all abortion murder, with ex-communication as the punishment. Only 3 years later a new pope found the absolute sanction unworkable and again allowed early abortions. 300 years would pass before the Catholic Church under Pius IX again declared all abortion murder. This standard declared in 1869, remains the official position of the church, reaffirmed by the current pope. An article called Church Has Always Condemned Abortion by Fr. William Saunders contends the Roman Catholic Church has consistently condemned abortion — the direct and purposeful taking of the life of the unborn child. In principle, Catholic Christians believe that all life is sacred from conception until natural death, and the taking of innocent human life, whether born or unborn, is morally wrong. The Church teaches, "Human life is sacred because from its beginning it involves the creative action of God and it remains forever in a special relationship with the Creator, who is its sole end. God alone is the Lord of life from its beginning until its end: no one can under any circumstance claim for himself the right directly to destroy an innocent human being" ("Donum vitae," 5).


In 1920 the Soviet Union became the 1st modern state formally to legalize abortion. In the early period after the 1917 revolution, abortion was readily available in state-operated facilities. These facilities were closed and abortion was made illegal when it became clear that the Soviet Union would have to defend itself against Nazi Germany. In the United States as early as 1856 Dr. Horatio Storer establishes a national drive through the American Medical Association to make all abortions illegal. Before this, first-trimester abortions were legal or a misdemeanor in most states. However, I think the moral dilemma was that of the sanctity of life and not one of profit.

Let’s begin by asking this important question: What is an abortion? And what impact has it had on society? According to the Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica; an abortion is the expulsion of a fetus from the uterus before it has reached the stage of viability (in human beings, usually about the 20th week of the gestation period). The Pro-choice movement states “the fetus is just a part of the pregnant woman’s body, like her tonsils or appendix. You can’t seriously believe a frozen embryo is an actual person.” This callous comparison of the fetus to the tonsils or the appendix is insidious in its argument. But, the debate for a women’s right to have an abortion was argued back in 1959 when the American Law Institute (ALI) proposed a model penal code for state abortion laws. The code advocates legalizing abortion for reasons including the mental or physical health of the mother, pregnancy due to rape and incest, and fetal deformity. The stage was being set for the abortion debate, to normalize this healthcare procedure similar in scope to remove a wisdom tooth without the implications it would present legally, morally, and spiritually to not only the women but society as well.

And this leads to a challenging question debated fiercely by Pro-life and Pro-Choice advocates – when does life begin during a pregnancy? According to an article on LiveAction; Science is clear: Each new human life begins at fertilization By Sarah Terzo on January 13, 2013 – she wrote that “Science teaches without reservation that life begins at fertilization (conception). It is a scientific fact that an organism exists after fertilization that did not exist before. This new organism has its own DNA distinct from the mother and father, meaning that it is a unique person. As the embryo grows, it develops a heartbeat (22 days after fertilization), its own circulatory system, and its own organs. From fertilization, it is a new organism that is alive and will continue to grow and develop as long as nutrition is provided and its life is not ended through violence or illness.”

However, Pro-choice argues “It is uncertain when human life begins; that’s a religious question that cannot be answered by science.” According to the book: ProLife Answers to ProChoice Arguments by Randy Alcorn written February 18, 2010, he states the following; Medical textbooks and scientific reference work consistently agree that human life begins at conception. Some of the world’s most prominent scientists and physicians testified to a U.S. Senate committee that human life begins at conception. Many other prominent scientists and physicians have likewise affirmed with certainty that human life begins at conception.

Next, it should be noted that abortions have become a billion-dollar-a-year industry if not more. The abortion industry with companies like Planned Parenthood, Whole Woman’s Health, All Women’s Health, and Family Planning Associates Medical Group provide comprehensive healthcare, but largely provide abortions on demand. Planned Parenthood alone grosses billions, but I can’t provide the actual numbers because it's not disclosed in the report. I downloaded the 2019 annual report and provided percentages in pie charts rather than real numbers. Additionally, Planned Parenthood gets financial funding from the federal government and millions in donations. This amount of monetary gain is achieved by the wholesale slaughter of the unborn and the sale of aborted body parts like fresh-cut choice meats at a butcher shop for profit. And I apologize for the description, but this is a fact.
If you recall the Federalist journalist Edie Heipel on April 5, 2021, wrote an article about legal accountability group Judicial Watch dropping a bombshell: a nearly 600-page report proving the U.S. government has been buying and trafficking “fresh” aborted baby body parts. These body parts, purchased by the (FDA) or U.S. Food and Drug Administration to “humanize” mice and test biological drugs in scientific experiments, came from babies up to 24 weeks old gestation, just weeks from being born. So what changed? Well, aborted baby parts were no longer thrown into dumpsters, no; now the wholesale of baby parts is an additional revenue stream by the abortion industry and funded by the Federal government.
While Americans may be used to hearing pro-lifers beat the warning drum on abortion groups harvesting baby bodies and selling them for research, (who hasn’t heard of the lawsuit against David Daleiden, who exposed Planned Parenthood haggling over baby lungs and livers at dinner parties?) this time, the U.S. government was the one trafficking baby parts.

It should not surprise you, your tax dollars are hard at work purchasing dismembered body parts of aborted fetuses for the FDA, and the California-based Advanced Bioscience Resources (ABR) conduct Frankenstein-level experiments; I mean it’s a billion-dollar industry profiting on the murder of the unborn or future of the human race. That’s why you have lobbyists petitioning the government to repeal abortion laws so companies like Planned Parenthood can continue to profit along with their investors. And think about this; abortions aren’t meant to comfort women but provide a resource of human parts to many industries because of the inconvenience of an unwanted pregnancy.

So who is culpable and complicit in helping sustain the abortion industry? The FDA, the Health and Human Services agencies, Planned Parenthood, and our government. And the public is unwittingly misled to believe what these agencies are providing to the economically challenged provides Women’s Reproductive Rights. It is a sham. This is why “sex education” doesn’t work, nor are parental values encouraged by the industry, politicians, and even religious groups because the laws are designed to keep the abortion industry running – the fact is, the laws encourage promiscuity in our youth because these are the manufacturers of fetuses to an industry without oversight. In addition, teen abortions can occur without parental consent, which violates the rights of the parents.

Edie Hiepel's article goes on to say, “Americans should be outraged their government participates in the wide-scale human trafficking operation that created a market for harvesting the organs of murdered infants. In no humane society could such a violation of the human body and dignity occur, in which babies’ eyes are “harvested immediately upon death,” organs marketed based on sex, and personhood attributed to mice but not children. Until demanded otherwise, our society is complicit in the unchecked abuse and commodification of preborn children. Moral urgency is incumbent on us to condemn these atrocities sanctioned by the federal government’s lead medical researchers and fight to stop them. We may lose more battles before we win, but we cannot say we never knew.” Sounds to me like we are repeating a tragic period in history and following China’s massive pro-abortion ideologies.

Whatever happened to the consciousness of the American people? Why can’t we teach teenagers and adults alike to use contraception to prevent unwanted pregnancies? The simple answer is there are profits to be made in the wholesale murder of the unborn. May God have mercy on our souls for permitting these atrocities.

Good evening, all. Back on September 27, 1994, Newt Gingrich publicly announced a Republican Party Contract with America. What did that mean back then? The Contract with America was a legislative agenda advocated for by the Republican Party during the 1994 congressional election campaign. Written by Newt Gingrich and Dick Armey, and in part using text from former President Ronald Reagan's 1985 State of the Union Address, the Contract detailed the actions the Republicans promised to take if they became the majority party in the United States House of Representatives for the first time in 40 years. Many of the Contract's policy ideas originated at The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank.

The Contract with America was introduced six weeks before the 1994 Congressional election, the first midterm election of President Bill Clinton's administration, and was signed by all but two of the Republican members of the House and all of the Party's non-incumbent Republican congressional candidates. The contract described the plan of the Congressional Representatives, seeking to nationalize the Congressional election. Its provisions represented the view of many conservative Republicans on the issues of reducing the size of government, cutting taxes, and both tort reform and welfare reform.

The 1994 elections resulted in Republicans gaining 54 House and 9 U.S. Senate seats, flipping both chambers. The Contract was seen as a triumph by party leaders such as Minority Whip Newt Gingrich, Dick Armey, and the American conservative movement in general.

Contract with America 1994:
The Contract would address Government and Operational reforms
On the first day of their majority in the House, the Republicans promised to bring up for a vote, eight major reforms:
1. Require all laws that apply to the rest of the country also apply to Congress;
2. Select a major, independent auditing firm to conduct a comprehensive audit of Congress for waste, fraud, or abuse;
3. Cut the number of House committees, and cut committee staff by one-third;
4. Limit the terms of all committee chairs;
5. Ban the casting of proxy votes in committee;
6. Require committee meetings to be open to the public;
7. Require a three-fifths majority vote to pass a tax increase;
8. Guarantee an honest accounting of the Federal Budget by implementing zero base-line budgeting.


The Contract implementations: The Fiscal Responsibility Act

An amendment to the Constitution that would require a balanced budget unless sanctioned by a two-thirds vote in both houses of Congress {this passed by the US House Roll Call: 300-132, January 26, 1995, but rejected by the US Senate: Roll Call 65–35 (the amendment was defeated by a single vote, with one Republican opposed, Oregon Republican Senator Mark Hatfield; Dole cast a procedural vote against the amendment to bring it up again in the future. In short, it did not pass.



The Taking Back Our Streets Act:

An anti-crime package included stronger truth in sentencing, and "good faith" exclusionary rule exemptions (H.R.666 Exclusionary Rule Reform Act, passed US House Roll Call 289–142 February 8, 1995).



The Personal Responsibility Act:

An act to discourage illegitimacy and teen pregnancy by reforming and cutting cash welfare and related programs. This would be achieved by prohibiting welfare to mothers under 18 years of age, denying increased Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) for additional children while on welfare, and enacting a two-years-and-out provision with work requirements to promote individual responsibility. H.R.4, passed by the US House 234–199, March 23, 1995, and passed by the US Senate 87–12, September 19, 1995. The Act was vetoed by President Clinton, but the alternative Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act which offered many of the same policies were enacted on August 22, 1996.


The American Dream Restoration Act:

An act to create a $500-per-child tax credit, add a tax credit for couples who pay more taxes in aggregate if they are married than if they were single (but keep in place the fiction of Earned Income Splitting), and the creation of American Dream Savings Accounts to provide middle-class tax relief. H.R.1215, passed 246–188, April 5, 1995.



The National Security Restoration Act:

An act to prevent U.S. troops from serving under United Nations command unless the president determines it is necessary for national security, to cut U.S. payments for UN peacekeeping operations, and to help establish guidelines for the voluntary integration of former Warsaw Pact nations into NATO. H.R.7, passed 241–181, February 16, 1995.


The Common-Sense Legal Reform Act:

An act to institute "loser pays" laws (H.R.988, passed 232–193, March 7, 1995), limits on punitive damages, and weakening of product-liability laws to prevent what the bill considered frivolous litigation (H.R.956, passed 265–161, March 10, 1995; passed Senate 61–37, May 11, 1995, vetoed by President Clinton. "H.R.956 - Product Liability Fairness Act of 1995". Another tort reform bill, the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act, was enacted in 1995 when Congress overrode Clinton's veto.



The Job Creation and Wage Enhancement Act:

A package of measures to act as small-business incentives: capital-gains cuts and indexation, neutral cost recovery, risk assessment/cost-benefit analysis, strengthening of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, and unfunded mandate reform to create jobs and raise worker wages. Although this was listed as a single bill in the Contract, its provisions ultimately made it to the House Floor as four bills:
• H.R.5, requiring federal funding for state spending mandated by Congressional action and estimated by the Congressional Budget Office to cost more than $50m per year (for the years 1996–2002), was passed 360–74, February 1, 1995. This bill was conferenced with S. 1 and enacted, on March 22, 1995 "S.1 - Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995".
• H.R.450 required a moratorium on the implementation of federal regulations until June 30, 1995, and was passed 276–146, on February 24, 1995. Companion Senate bill S. 219 passed by voice vote, on May 17, 1995, but the two bills never emerged from the conference "S.219 - Regulatory Transition Act of 1995".
• H.R.925 required federal compensation to be paid to property owners when federal government actions reduced the value of the property by 20% or more and were passed 277–148, March 3, 1995.
• H.R.926, passed 415–14 on March 1, 1995, required federal agencies to provide a cost-benefit analysis on any regulation costing $50m or more annually, to be signed off on by the Office of Management and Budget, and permitted small businesses to sue that agency if they believed the aforementioned analysis was performed inadequately or incorrectly.



The Citizen Legislature Act:

An amendment to the Constitution that would have imposed 12-year term limits on members of the US Congress (i.e., six terms for Representatives, two terms for Senators). H.J.Res. 73 was rejected by the U.S. House 227–204 (a constitutional amendment requires a two-thirds majority, not a simple majority), on March 29, 1995.



Other sections:

Other sections of the contract include a proposed Family Reinforcement Act (tax incentives for adoption, strengthening the powers of parents in their children's education, stronger child pornography laws, and elderly dependent care tax credit) and the Senior Citizens Fairness Act (raise the Social Security earnings limit, repeal the 1993 tax hikes on Social Security benefits and provide tax incentives for private long-term care insurance).



Effects:

Some observers cite the Contract with America as having helped secure a decisive victory for the Republicans in the 1994 elections; others dispute this role, noting its late introduction into the campaign. Whatever the role of the Contract, Republicans were elected to a majority of both houses of Congress for the first time since 1953, and some parts of the Contract were enacted. Most elements did not pass in Congress, while others were vetoed by, or substantially altered in negotiations with President Bill Clinton, who would sarcastically refer to it as the "Contract on America" implying that the Republicans' legislative package was akin to an organized crime "hit" on the American public. As a blueprint for the policy of the new Congressional majority, Micklethwait and Wooldridge argue in The Right Nation that the Contract placed Congress firmly back in the driver's seat of domestic government policy for most of the 104th Congress, and placed the Clinton White House firmly on the defensive.
Not all of the contract’s objectives were achieved, including congressional term limits and a constitutional amendment to force balanced budgets, but those that did were astoundingly successful.

While Democrats screamed like scalded dogs and promoted doomsday scenarios, President Bill Clinton correctly gauged the mood of the country, declaring that “the era of big government is over.” If only.
The Clinton-Gingrich welfare reform bill was a major achievement of the contract. The left claimed poor people would starve. They didn’t. Most of the able-bodied among them found jobs, which benefited them and the country.
Taxes were cut and in 1998 the federal budget was balanced and stayed balanced through 2001. Hard as it is to believe with today’s $30 trillion-dollar debt, the country experienced a surplus of $236 billion in 2000.

Economic growth was 4% or higher from 1997 through 2000 and unemployment rates, which had been above 7% at the beginning of the decade, fell to less than 5% in 1997. By the end of 2000, unemployment was under 4%.
For three straight years - from 1997 through 1999 - the economy produced more than 3 million jobs, a record.
It is undeniable that the contract worked.

Commitment to America 2022:

Recently Kevin McCarthy Minority Republican Leader of the house reinvented the same Contract with America again.
The new list of Republican goals will work, too, if they are implemented, because they are rooted in the history of what has worked before - lower taxes, less spending, personal responsibility, and accountability, empowering parents, not teachers' unions.

President Joe Biden is no Bill Clinton. The Democratic Party has been taken over by the hard left and they are not about to compromise on anything, from social issues to “climate change.”
Only if Republicans win the Congress and the White House does the GOP “Commitment to America” have a chance to fully succeed. As in 1994, the party has the issues on its side — from previously mentioned inflation and a declining stock market that is hurting the savings of retirees to an uncontrolled border, violent crime, and a cultural fabric that seems to many conservatives to be coming apart.

If Republicans can’t win on these issues, they can expect and deserve to be committed by voters to years of irrelevancy.



Final Thoughts:

Here is my problem with all of this. Both Republican Parties during 1994 and 2022 are required by the Constitution to protect and serve the people of the United States. So, when I think about the Republicans committing to a contract, I think of this critically because currently during the Biden Administration, we’ve seen Republicans like Liz Chaney R-WY, Peter Meijer R-MI, Jaime Herrera Beutler R-DC, Adam Kizinger R-IL, Anthony Gonzalez R-OH, Dan Newhouse R-DC, David Valadao R-CA, John Katko R-NY, Fred Upton R-MI, and Tom Rice R-SC all voting to impeach former President Donald J. Trump.
So, it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth when Republicans rally behind a contract that has no meaning unless they're committing themselves to support the Constitution, which they have sworn to uphold. To me, the Commitment to America is more for a show, even if the last contract had some success, but it may just be a distraction to vote for the Republicans. This is why we need to look at which Republicans have demonstrated support for We the People and The Constitution – this is my litmus test. What will be yours?

The Southern Border Crisis: In the Dark of Night

The Southern Border Crisis has been one of my top-viewed podcasts and I didn’t understand why, until I realized the News Media hadn’t been reporting on it as much these days. However, it became clear that you the audience are very aware of the plight of our Southern Borders. Then I recalled a video I saw in which an Arizona mayor declared a state of emergency as a result of the surge of illegal immigrants at the United States-Mexico border. In addition, the mayor along with other states is placing blame at the feet of President Joe Biden and the Democratic Party.

Biden gave his administration 60 days to find and review all current contracts and determine which can be canceled, which must be renegotiated, and whether any of the remaining money can be used on other projects. Trump, as of Jan. 15, had spent $6.1 billion of the $10.8 billion in wall construction it had contracted out, a Senate Democratic aide told AP. Overall, the Trump administration had secured $16.45 billion for the wall, including $5.8 billion appropriated by Congress and the rest seized from the Treasury and Defense departments. Biden is targeting that latter pot of money.

Gila Bend Mayor Chris Riggs made the declaration after he was told that busloads of migrants would be dropped by the federal government in his town despite him saying that the town is not capable of testing them all for the coronavirus.
According to Social Media writer Michael Lee, an Arizona sheriff warned that the United States is “in serious trouble” due to the Biden administration’s immigration policies that will cause a “huge crisis.”

"Where it's going is a huge crisis,” said Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels. “It’s already knocking on that door. There’s no doubt about it. Talking to my federal partners, talking to local law enforcement, talking to our health department — I mean, when it comes to public safety, national security when it comes to the health pandemic, we’re in trouble. We’re seriously in trouble, and this all started under the word 'politics.'”
Sheriff Mark Dannels said President Biden failed to consult with Arizona lawmakers before making immigration enforcement decisions, leaving the state to “pick up the pieces” at a border that is “wide open” for cartels.
Isn’t it just like a tyrant to act alone and not in harmony with State Governors by releasing Illegal Immigrants into their states? One thing is clear all state borders are under invasion by the Biden Administration moving Illegal Immigrants into their states in the dark of night.

Unfortunately, unlike Texas Governor Greg Abbott, Arizona has not fought back against the unauthorized release of Illegal Immigrants into their state’s town. For the most part, Governor Greg Abbott has been fighting back against the Biden Administration’s disregard for the citizens of Texas. Abbott outlined his order in a letter to Major General Tracy R. Norris, Adjutant General of the Texas National Guard, directing the guard to assist the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) in arresting illegal immigrants.

“Beginning on May 31, 2021, I have issued multiple proclamations certifying under Section 418.014 of the Texas Government Code that the surge of individuals unlawfully crossing the Texas-Mexico border poses an ongoing and imminent threat of disaster for certain counties and agencies in the State of Texas,” Abbott wrote. “To respond to this disaster and secure the rule of law at our Southern border, more manpower is needed — in addition to the troopers from the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) and soldiers from the Texas National Guard I have already deployed there — and DPS needs help in arresting those who are violating state law.”

Since the Biden Administration through Executive Order canceled all contracts which halted the building of the rest of the border wall on his first day on the job in 2021, declaring the Southern Border a non-emergency, the Texas and Arizona uncompleted border wall might as well have signaled the welcome to the United States. And the accomplishments of hardline former President Trump concerning Illegal immigration would under the Biden Presidency become a full-scale invasion by Illegal immigrants because of President Joe Biden’s Open Borders Policies. Great job, dick!

Next, the Biden Administration wants to pay migrants – Illegal migrants up to $450 almost as a form of reparations. Reparartions for what? Reparations are taxpayer funds the government uses indiscriminately as though they were using Monopoly money. And yet, the homeless in our country receive nothing and Americans are facing higher and higher inflation – empty shelves at our local groceries and higher taxes, and yet again the Biden

The administration wants to give away our hard-earned money as though he were a modern-day version of Robinhood. Except the middle-class of America is not as rich as the Biden Administration and the Democratic Party think we are.

What Happened in Kenosha Wisconsin on August 25th, 2020?

First, we need to go back 48-hours prior when on August 23rd, 2020 Kenosha Police responded to a 911 call about a domestic violence complaint against a male Black man, Jacob Blake. Blake, 29, was forbidden from going to the Kenosha home of his alleged victim from the May 3 incident, and police were dispatched Sunday following the 911 call saying he was there. The responding officers were aware he had an open warrant for felony sexual assault, according to dispatch records and the Kenosha Professional Police Association on the incident. The police attempted to arrest Jacob, but while in progress to seize Jacob; he was shot 6 times in the back. Police contend the shooting was justified because Jacob was holding a knife while avoiding any attempt to comply and trying to enter his vehicle. A Kenosha police officer ends up shooting him, not fatally, but Jacob Blake is now paralyzed. A blogger or live streamer, Corey Washington in the area posted the footage of the altercation on the Internet and it went viral prompting local community members, and Black Lives Matter activists to descend onto this town to protest and voice their grievance at what most felt was excessive force by the police on an innocent Black man. However, what is most blindly ignored is Jacob Blake had a knife, and although his lawyer would argue he didn’t pose a threat – one has to ask; how do you know for sure? Why didn’t he just comply as the police attempted to deescalate the situation? Of course, that is an intelligent argument no one dares take up because it would demonstrate several things – some individuals refuse to listen to authority and their disdain for law enforcement. That in this day and age – protesting with intent to cause damage like looting, rioting, arson, and violence against law enforcement is the new norm.

The next 48 hours would be the beginning of a nightmarish chain of events all because of police presence, which seemed to grow as more and more people started showing up at the scene of the incident. In the mix of people in the crowd were agitators and community youths bent on voicing their beliefs this was another example of police targeting young Black men and a call to defund the police department as well. As the situation in Kenosha was escalating a group of militia volunteers gathered to provide police assistance and protect the community from violent acts against property and residences. However, this seemed to create an atmosphere of resentment by the protestors because the group was mostly white males. A local militia group called the Kenosha Guard posted a call to arms by the member and former City Councilmen David Mathewson requesting for patriots to come to Kenosha to help defend and prevent additional destruction within this small town. But as with anything posted on Facebook, it drew attention not only from volunteers but Black Lives Matter activists, and social justice supporters, and agitators bent on escalating a volatile situation to become ground zero for rioting, looting, arson, and public destruction.

The next day in Kenosha's downtown Civic Park area, local youths along with Black Lives Matter activists held a relatively peaceful march to protest against police violence and Racial Injustice against Black men. However, in the advent of several nights of outright anarchy; more and more supporters of Racial Injustice Groups and volunteers to protect Kenosha descended upon the City of Kenosha to either help protect remaining businesses from destruction or to cause more destruction through arson or vandalism. And this is an indisputable fact, that Kenosha was under siege from the extremists purporting to be peaceful protestors and it was inevitable this situation was a powder keg with a lit fuse. Let’s pause for a moment to look at what peaceful protests brought to this town.
At this point; tensions were escalating and civility was eroding very quickly – on one side you had a group protesting police treatment of Black men, which only inspired others to make their point employing violence and public misconduct and on the other side, you had supporters that wanted to prevent damage of businesses and residential property. It was clear the Kenosha police were not ready for what was becoming an uncontrollable situation in Kenosha. But one has to ask quite plainly which group was there to harm and which group was there to help protect? It’s not a hard question and clearly, obvious that ensuing violence and deaths were a direct result of a situation that was out of control. To some, this situation was becoming another Seattle in which 6 city blocks were blockaded and pronounced an Autonomous Zone. Do you recall what happened in Seattle on or around June 8th, 2020? On Tuesday, ANTIFA essentially took six square blocks in Seattle hostage, declaring it an “autonomous zone,” which they named “Capitol Hill Free Zone.” The Domestic Terrorist Organization had barricaded all entry points to the area, and members were asking residents to provide armed guards, as reported by journalist and previous ANTIFA target Andy Ngo according to an Article posted by Grace Saldana on Jun 11, 2020, titled ANTIFA Has America Under Siege in the FreedomWire website. What makes this so profound is the activities of ANTIFA still resounded throughout the nation at that time. Although now, some don’t even remember it because the political left inspired and condoned this behavior, and Wisconsin residents and people from neighboring towns and states weren’t going to have it. What was happening in Kenosha was just another example of the “Downward Spiral of Society.” Check out my podcast on this subject to give you an overview of a society in decline.

Now, as the daytime protest ended the Kenosha Police Department issues a curfew to lessen the likelihood of additional violent behavior and damage, but like spoiled children whose parent's declined to provide a good ass-whipping, the protestors began a night of disorderly conduct and vandalism all in the name of Racial Justice. That’s right, I said it – parents of these protesting young adults should not have foregone the rod because it spoiled the child and left their education by Leftist Groups and anti-social, anti-societal, and anti-governmental groups. I am deviating and I apologize, but the truth is the truth. Parents who have children and unleash them onto a society like ravenous wolves who didn’t get attention, a moral education, or just plain guidance of right and wrong are just as guilty as the protestors and these radical groups that thrive today. In addition, the overall complacency of Americans permitting the radicalization of the government is also a responsibility that has led to the decline in our society.

Now, let’s take a closer look at the results of the last several days and nights leading to the fatal shootings of Anthony Huber, Joseph Rosenbaum, and the wounding of Gaige Paul Grosskreutz by alleged “White Supremacist, vigilante, and murderer;” Kyle Rittenhouse. Yes, I have to mention these terms or declarations by the media because this is what CNN, ABC, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, and a few of the major media outlets determined without proof who this 17-year-old was at the time. But I am getting ahead of myself slightly.

Anthony Huber and his girlfriend Hannah Gittings while claiming not to be heavy activists and according to them; known friends of Jacob Blake decided to show their support of the protests by going to Kenosha. Although admittedly violating the imposed curfew they took it upon themselves to be there in hopes of supporting the need for basic human rights, civil rights, and equality. I guess taking the same amount of energy to write to their local, state, and government officials were out of the question. However, they acknowledged a curfew was in place and public destruction of businesses and private property was committed by protestors. Which I think was either sheer stupidity or the agenda of the mass mob which was something they would be willing to contribute to because these protestors along with this couple were likeminded in their ideology. And let’s not forget that Anthony Huber was no angel himself – a convicted felon of assault and battery, but I will get back to them later. By this time the law enforcement teams have disbursed the large crowd into a much smaller crowd of stragglers, still adamant to break the curfew and continually providing resistance to their presence. So, as you can imagine the disbursement was a volley of tear gas pellets, rubber bullets, and law enforcement in typical riot gear moving the crowd back. But as much as the highly subdued officers were exercising their duties the protestors were responding with small explosives, bottles, and pushing obstacles in front of law enforcement vehicles – an escalation of civil disobedience to say the least.

Enter Gaige Grosskreutz, a career criminal and a paramedic from Milwaukee who attended the protests in Kenosha to provide help. Armed with a concealed weapon he was not authorized to carry; was simply there to provide support to anyone needing medical attention without choosing sides. So, he says. But if you are going to a protest or a situation in which you are not taking sides; it brings into question why he carried a weapon on him. Did he think the situation required armed protection? It’s a possibility. But if he felt this way, it would be fair to say that he wasn’t the only one with this feeling that safety was not guaranteed even with heavy police presence. Gaige would end up being shot in the right arm by Kyle Rittenhouse while trying to help Kyle?. One thing I noticed is the media or the public not questioning Grosskruetz’s motives and speculating on why Kyle Rittenouse went from Illinois to Wisconsin – well, the media didn’t report that Kyle was there earlier removing graffiti from the sides of a high school that was vandalized during the protests. So, this point is mute I will argue because both stated they went to Kenosha to assist.

What happens next is the Kenosha Sheriff’s Department would push the remaining protestors out of Civic Center Park down Sheridan Road, which was occupied by the armed volunteers and militia guarding the businesses in the area. It was claimed the Sheriff’s Department knowingly pushed the protestors in this direction for the armed militia groups to deal with the protestors, but that would mean the Department was complicit in their actions that would endanger the protestors. And I find it highly doubtful of the idea of moving protestors into a shooting gallery as this action would mean that law enforcement units would have had coordinated their tactical decision with the armed volunteers. Now, listen; I trained in crowd control procedures in the military and it is my opinion the actions of law enforcement were within their means to conduct crowd control into an area that would not bunch up the protestors and create a frenzy of confusion. This tactical decision to move the protestors down Sheridan Road would provide the necessary space to permit a safe avenue of escape for the protestors, but this would require compliance from the protestors and they were being defiant and resisting attempts for a safe disbursal. As an ex-military soldier and militia member Ryan Balch claimed that police informed him they had preemptively planned to herd the protestors toward the militia for a possible confrontation, but that was vehemently denied by County Sheriff David Beth. It should be noted that Ryan Balch used his social media accounts to link to a Nazi propaganda video, amplified white nationalist Richard Spencer, and uploaded symbols associated with the so-called boogaloo movement, (SPLC) or Southern Poverty Law Center determined. But the reliability by both Ryan Balch and the SPLC is controversial because the SPLC is known to designate individuals or groups on a Hate Watch list without merit. However, Hatewatch tied Balch to a Twitter account that also indicates he was immersed in white supremacist propaganda before traveling to Kenosha. Balch published to Twitter on Feb. 3, 2017, a link to a website that featured a video of explicit Nazi propaganda. The bottom line is these allegations by Ryan Balch were unsubstantiated.

Because of the chance meeting between Ryan Balch and Kyle Rittenhouse that evening, does that make Kyle Rittenhouse a White Supremacist? It doesn’t by any means. And this symbol that was used to declare Kyle was a White Supremacist has been debunked. This symbol still means okay, okay? The media has been declaring that he is because of this one-night encounter between the two. But those media outlets will say anything a boost their ratings. Like the Russia Dossier. Anyway, I had to throw that in there. But make no mistake the presence of Black Lives Matter activists, the protestors, and certain militia groups was a recipe for more conflict that would lead up to the two fatal shootings and wounding of Joseph Rosenbaum, Anthony Huber, and Gaige Grosskreutz. It was inevitable the situation would be a pathway to more mayhem resulting in an armed confrontation by a 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse.

Convicted child rapist Joseph Rosenbaum recently released on August 25th, 2020 from a mental hospital after receiving treatment joins the protestors and begins to have verbal and physical confrontations with them. In addition, his first recorded confrontation was with a militiaman who looked like Kyle Rittenhouse. As you can see Joseph Rosenbaum was not there to support any cause other than to be an agitator who unfortunately would meet his demise at the hands of Kyle Rittenhouse. Yet, some will eulogize him as a great father, good citizen, and hero, but surprisingly they will ignore these previous antics caught on this footage. I bet you his victims would paint a different picture of Rosenbaum. So, was the shooting a self-defense move on the part of Kyle Rittenhouse, or did he purposefully target Joseph Rosenbaum? A very stupid question, don’t you think? But this is exactly why our society is so upside down because we praise the unruly, dangerous, and antisocial behaviors, which endangers the average citizen and criminalize the victim for defending themselves, even if it ends in a fatality. What ensued was Kyle Rittenhouse had walked past Joseph Rosenbaum. Rosenbaum began to chase him after his previous confrontation with the armed militiamen and proceeded to throw a plastic bag with his belongings. Without any backup, Kyle Rittenhouse attempted to escape from Joseph Rosenbaum until he lunged for the AR-15 in Rittenhouse's possession which ended with the first fatality of the evening. Kyle Rittenhouse fired four rounds from his AR-15 into Joseph Rosenbaum. What would you have done? Is this shooting justifiable? Was Kyle Rittenhouse in imminent danger? Watch this video and you decide? Now, what the media didn’t tell you is Kyle Rittenhouse didn’t flee immediately from the scene. He made a phone call or tried to communicate with someone that he had shot someone when the crowd gave chase. And that is when he was attacked by Anthony Huber and Gaige Grosskreutz.

Anthony Huber attempted to disarm Rittenhouse by swinging a skateboard at his head after another individual would attempt to stomp his head into the ground, but Kyle fired a fatal shot into his chest while on his back defensively. A lucky shot by all accounts, but the media would say differently of course. Then Gaige Grosskreutz would display his weapon a small-caliber handgun and would be shot in the arm by Rittenhouse. And it wasn’t until Rittenhouse could get his bearings that he got up from this ferocious mele. And where do you think he headed next? He went to turn himself into the hands of law enforcement but was not immediately arrested. But the media would have you believe that Anthony Huber and Gaige Grosskreutz were only trying to disarm him – sure with a skateboard over his skull and a weapon pointed at him. Sorry, these two were out for blood, vigilante-style, and Kyle Rittenhouse defended himself.
What do you think was going on in his mind at this point? Is this the actions of a vigilante or a person bent on going on a shooting spree? Or just a teenager who killed a grown man of 36 years in age confused and scared? Once the crowd had identified him as an active shooter, which by the way is a contradiction in terms – he tried to run to safety. But as you will see the crowd would be unrelenting in trying to bring Kyle Rittenhouse down by any or all means necessary. Again, what would you do in this situation? Furthermore, a crowd began to chase him, and two individuals: Anthony Huber and Gaige Grosskreutz would be shot and injured. Why didn’t Kyle Rittenhouse, this so-called White Supremacist and individual looking to kill someone just open fire into the crowd during the chase? Easy, he wasn’t a White Supremacist nor an individual hell-bent on going on a shooting spree. But public opinion has been marred by the inaccurate and biased reporting of several media outlets to taint and incite more anguish over the loss of two men who weren’t Black during a Black Lives Matter protest. And this was an opportunity for the media to charge the 2nd Amendment Rights require more stringent laws.

The lives of those people involved will have been changed forever, but the reality here is that the real crime was the protestors turn rioters and looters were not the focus of the true story about Kenosha Wisconsin. Yes, it was a tragedy that there was the loss of lives, destruction of businesses, and private property – but protesting doesn’t give you the right to run amok on an unsuspecting community. I support the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhopuse although his heart was in the right place and his motives slightly naive in thinking he would be accepted to provide help to a mob bent on destruction and archaic behavior. This young teenager who has demonstrated a characteristic for helping his fellow man could tragically have been a victim of protestors that have no morals and value anarchy. And these protestors claim to be fighting for civil rights and equality – but with violence, arson, looting, and rioting.

Then Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and the Democratic party politicized the Rittenhouse shootings by declaring Kyle Rittenhouse was a White Supremacist and attempt to curtail your gun rights guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment. A political ploy to sway public opinion and poison the public before his trial. And don’t permit the media to fool you or convince you that what transpired in Kenosha Wisconsin was racially motivated. White on White crime isn’t a concern for the Black Lives Matter movement; I would think they would be celebrating the fact that it was a white-on-white incident. However, protecting the homes and businesses from rioters and, looters is the concern of all. It’s what separates the humane from the inhumane or it's just plain civility.

So my conclusion is this – there are quite a few responsible parties for what happened in Kenosha Wisconsin that began with the shooting of Jacob Blake – and antagonists and agitators came upon that community, like a swarm of locust to bring nothing but havoc, not a plea for Racial Justice; just plain havoc. And those who are declaring Kyle Rittenhouse the cause and effect of this incident are only fooling themselves. What was avoided - another attempt by the media and antisocial groups to establish another Seattle-like beachhead of domestic terrorism in the sleepy town of Kenosha Wisconsin. And another issue that has been avoided is Kyle Rittenhouse went to Kenosha to help; can you say the same for the BLM activists or the protestors? Everyone had a motive for being in Kenosha – and for the most part, the town was vandalized, burned, and looted for the sake of Racial Justice. Give me a break.
I ask you all to do one thing, put aside your political and racial bias – and look at the evidence. This isn’t about White privilege, it's about calling out radical groups like ANTIFA and BLM. Americans have the right to defend themselves, homes, and property and if these extremist domestic terrorist s groups think they can make demands through fear and violence – they’re going to be sadly disappointed. Disregard the rhetoric of the media and use your critical thinking skills and see this trial for what it is. The act of defending yourself is still a right you can exercise even if another person or persons try to do you harm.

Wake up America, wake up! God bless and keep you safe.

Thank you

Misinformation – the 5th Horsemen

Most of us have grown up having knowledge of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and what it represents. The horsemen represent a different facet of the apocalypse: War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death. A popular biblical premise most people dismiss as a religious allegory. Yet, another horseman unforeseen by many but known by few has arrived on the world stage in this age of technology. This 5th horseman is called “misinformation.” Now, you may ask, “how do I come to that conclusion?” Simple. We presently live in the 21st century, with the Internet, cellphones, and an abundance of advancement in comfort. Furthermore, our current culture and society freely reveal its individuality, thought process, and reactions to outside stimuli which influence us. Look at all the protests and violent demonstrations. What causes this reaction among people? Misinformation – the cause and effect of most problems we read about today. In addition, technology surrounds us, it monitors us and accompanies us in our daily life. Most of all, technology collects information about us and creates a virtual profile of each individual with a presence on the Internet and the communication superhighway.

It’s ironic really because we champion privacy and security laws to keep us anonymous. We debate concerns about securing information about us, only to post it, text it and communicate it without compromise.

However, the 5th horseman I am speaking of is not technology by itself – the 5th horseman incorporates big tech companies, the media, and political systems around the globe. These Political systems consist of politicians people hopelessly vote into office thinking they will defend the rights of their constituents and are faithful to the truth. No, we’ve got this version of the fairytale all wrong. It’s a delusion.

This so-called truth, communicated to us on a 24-hour basis is subjective truth and not objective truth. This is part of an Orwellian system in our midst to control the hearts and minds of the complacent and ostracize others recognizing that truth – that society is being misguided and progressively made submissive despite the truth. Don't forget either about the entertainment industry, which one can lump together with the media.
Okay, I know what you are thinking right about now. Another conspiracy theorist. Not at all. There is no conspiracy if you consider that what I reveal is something you’ve come across in your life at least once or twice. I am not going to try to convince you about the 5th Horseman; no, I am going to reveal him. Shed light on his agenda and the tools he’s using to misguide your critical thinking and cloud your thoughts with distractions. Distractions of selfishness, instant gratification, and the absence of responsibility. Furthermore, in revealing his true purpose, it’s important to note that your information is packaged to powerful entities who use it to further an agenda of control and domination. A global agenda of deception.

The first tool in the arsenal is the big tech companies, which provide us with software and hardware making life easier, convenient, automated but you have to give up information about yourselves, your likes, dislikes, desires, and habits. Purpose? It’s the gathering of information about your world views. What you think is your place in society and who you think society can do without. It’s akin to revealing your deepest secrets about how you see the world as opposed to what you tell everyone else you think. And we do this unwittingly because it’s an inconsequential trade-off providing information about yourselves; for some, it’s an opportunity to feel important, heard, and a part of the crowd. To be “woke” or in the now. Or for the sake of convenience without considering how the information on you is being collected. And later on, used to profile you.

You say, so what? I don’t do anything wrong or have anything to hide. Well, if I collected enough information about you, I would know how to “push your buttons,” sort of speaking. Do you recall how the New York Police Department demonstrated profiling of random citizens and portrayed it as a defense against terrorism, it was dubbed “Stop and Frisk.” And although their method didn’t involve any real technologies, they were permitted to collect data on people randomly. This controversial method set a precedent for collecting information on you. What if I collected data on you to build a profile? What could I do with it? Could I influence your decisions or misinform you? In other words, I could use this information to manipulate your likes and dislikes, simply put. Consider how Facebook posts advertisements on your page based on your searches, likes, and who you follow. Some will argue, it’s convenient and nothing more. Really? What about the manipulation of voters or better yet the suppression of free speech? Is this a coincidence? Or is the information collected on you a blueprint to changing how you think? To eventually control what to think? A progressive method to brainwash you into submission.

The second tool is the media. A once-respected institution for gathering and reporting the truth, but now the news reported contains innuendos, half-truths, or the real truth left out purposefully to misguide you. Yes, the media has been bought out to large corporations or special interest groups and politicians to manipulate the truth which is fed to you in many forms – television, radio, and newspapers. The dissemination of the truth nowadays is considered subjective truth. Opinions of news providers who have their own opinions, ideologies that are not part of the real news. Whatever happened to objective truth? Oh, it still exists, but you can’t read about it as it doesn’t sell papers or doesn’t equate to the media outlets' profit shares. The principles of reporting the truth have long since gone as the news became a 24-hour business model. Misinformation sells in the name of the almighty dollar. Look at newscasters, reporters who have joined the ranks of Hollywood figures to enrich themselves and their pockets – selling a narrative of lies and deceit. I’m not saying they’re all like this, but how many times have the newspapers and reporters had to retract their statements – more than I can count. And usually, after the fact, once the objective to discredit or destroy the reputation of a business or person of interest is accomplished. By that time the message is embedded in the subconsciousness of the intended audience. You the public.

What about Hollywood? The primary focal point is to distract the masses and promote an idolization of the elite. And their method is very effective. As the entertainment industry promotes a variety of ideas, messages to the public while portraying themselves as demi-gods for you to hang on their every word. Words that are as truthful as a phony five-dollar bill. Yet, the public’s admiration for these false gods is overwhelmingly real. Examples of their influence are heard in their music and public admonition of the rules of society.

The third and possibly not the final tool is the political system with corrupt politicians not all, but a good number. Politicians have demonstrated time and again amending laws predominantly to serve the agendas that benefit themselves and not their constituents or the country. So why should the truth be any different? To a corrupt politician, the truth is subjective as well – especially with interest groups providing monetary support of their campaign or funding support of bills or laws to help to shape the truth for public consumption. With basically no term limits and the authority to give themselves raises – what would it benefit them to be truthful? They purport their influence with media outlets sharing in the same ideology that serves the purpose of special interest groups or the elite.
So, the 5th horseman uses the political system to engage in the deterioration of the truth – through deceit and political jousting that keeps you the people misinformed. This political mafia on both sides of the aisle has and will continue to deceive you or create an atmosphere in the public to keep you against each other while distracting us to conduct other types of business to push agendas that don’t serve the public. Agendas that eventually restrict your freedoms and keep you in the dark. These agendas serve to keep the public misinformed while – permitting the erosion of your civil liberties. Their political goals are dictated to them by the elite who would prefer the enslavement of the people than their freedom.

By now, you realize the 5th Horseman is not a person, but a societal attitude with key manipulators in well-placed roles of authority, financial institutions, and news outlets as influencers. You know them well – Hollywood personalities, politicians, the well-to-do. Yes, “Misinformation” truly is the 5th horseman if not the 1st horseman of a bleak future being welcomed with open arms. Ending with a handful of the elite calling the shots and demanding tribute and worship to further their egos until it comes to an abrupt halt. Unfortunately, I think we cannot avoid this 5th horseman’s path of misinformation because we remain distracted with loving ourselves and not each other. Permitting the said truth to thrive in your mind versus researching and looking for the real truth. I think it’s time the truth be realized as painful as it might be.
