Re: Stop Congress from Requiring Young Women to Register for the Draft

Dear Friends, 

The enemies of God, family and country never sleep. 

While Americans are preoccupied and distracted by the Covid-19 Plandemic, Congressional bills  HR 4350 and S. 4049  (the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), are heading for a full vote in the House and Senate.  

Both the House and Senate bills carry a dangerous amendment to the Military Selective Service Act to require young women to register for the Selective Service System (SSS) Draft. Incredibly, this measure has attracted much bipartisan support. 

Like the proverbial camel’s nose under the tent, if this measure is allowed to pass, the way is open for drafting women into combat roles.

Proponents of the NDAA/Defense Budget bill argue that the current Selective Service ruling that legally requires only men (males) ages 18 to 25, to registered for the draft is “discriminatory.”  All references to men or males have been stricken in the amended version of the House and Senate bills and replaced with androgenous terms, aka, “persons,” “citizens,” “enlisted members, etc.  

PLEASE Act NOW. Contact your Congressman and Senators at their district/state offices or their Washington. D.C. office to express your opposition to any bill/amendment, including H.R. 4350 and S. 4049, that requires women in register for Selective Service. 

Please note that both the U.S. House and Senate are not currently in session. House members will be in session on September  20-24; 27-30. Senate members will be in session September 13-15; 20-24, 27-30. 

This means that you can contact your Congressman and Senators at their district or state-wide offices now! Or you can leave a phone message or send an email to them at their Washington D.C. office where their staff will likely pick up the phone or see that your email reaches your Congressman or Senators. 

If you don’t know how to contact your Congressman or Senator in D.C. or at his district or home office, go to List of Representatives and Senators – GovTrack.us. When you fill in the state slot on the left side of the page  the list of  your state’s Congressmen and Senators will come up alphabetically. Click the name and it will bring you to your representative’s official website and give you all the information you need on his or her home offices, email address, etc.

Whichever method of contact you choose, please act now or as soon as possible as the NDAA will be coming to the House and Senate floor for a vote anytime after the House and Senate members return to Washington.

Please also send this mailing to all your email contacts, especially those who have young daughters. A letter or email from a young girl or young woman to their Congressman and Senators opposing the draft for women will probably be the most effective weapon we have in our profamily and prolife arsenal opposing the registration of women to the military draft. 

Thank you for your help and cooperation.

Might the hidden agenda for the lockdowns be not just to promote government tyranny, but to kill more people by not allowing herd immunity so that in the Fall and Winter when all viruses return for a second wave that more people can die to promote more tyranny?

Non-Tyrannical Lockdown & Mask Laws Sweden removes most COVID Restrictions despite about 30% of “Swedes Aged 16 and above are [not being] fully Vaccinated” 

On September 7, Reuter reported that the non-tyrannical mask and lockdown law Sweden is removing most of the COVID restrictions despite about 30% of  “Swedes aged 16 and above… [not being] fully Vaccinated”:

Sweden will push ahead with easing COVID-19 restrictions at the end of this month, removing most curbs and limits on public venues such as restaurants, theatres and stadiums, the government said on Tuesday…

…  About 70% of Swedes aged 16 and above are fully vaccinated. [https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/sweden-remove-most-remaining-pandemic-restrictions-this-month-2021-09-07/]

Were there scientific reasons why Sweden didn’t have totalitarian lockdowns or mandate tyrannical mask wearing laws? 

Might the hidden agenda for the lockdowns be not just to promote government tyranny, but to kill more people by not allowing herd immunity so that in the Fall and Winter when all viruses return for a second wave that more people can die to promote more tyranny?

Is the United States lockdown about Americans not getting mass immunity from the virus as Sweden, Korea, Singapore, and Japan have apparently done by NOT HAVING LOCKDOWNS so more people can die to keep in place the tyranny?

UnHerd presented evidence that the lockdowns are not allowing most Americans to get “immunity” so that they can be largely immune to the virus which means the lockdowns may be about killing more Americans in the Fall and Winter. Moreover, “the [scientific] evidence base for using masks in society is still very weak”:

In just a few short months Anders Tegnell, architect of Sweden’s unique response to the Covid-19 pandemic, has gone from unknown physician and technocrat to a household celebrity in Sweden and in countries around the world. He is beloved by some (people have even had tattoos made with his face) and intensely disliked by others. Today he is suntanned and relaxed, having just returned from his summer holiday, and wearing an open-necked polo shirt.

After all these months, does he now think that his strategy is a failure or a success? A bit of both, he says quickly, but emphasises more of the latter:

“I think to a great extent it’s been a success. We are now seeing rapidly falling cases, we have continuously had healthcare that has been working, there have been free beds at any given time, never any crowding in the hospitals, we have been able to keep schools open which we think is extremely important, and society fairly open — while still having social distancing in place in a way that means that the spread of the disease has been limited.

The failure has of course been the death toll … that has been very much related to the long-term care facilities in Sweden. Now that has improved, we see a lot less cases in those facilities.”

Mortality is hardly an afterthought — so why is Sweden’s mortality rate so high? At around 550 per million of population, it sits just under the UK and Italy but far above neighbouring Norway and Denmark. Dr Tegnell offers a collection of reasons: with its larger migrant populations and dense urban areas, Sweden is actually more similar to the Netherlands and the UK than it is to other Scandinavian countries; he believes the Swedish counting system for deaths has been more stringent than elsewhere; also, countries are at different points in the epidemic cycle so it is too early to compare totals.

The one thing he doesn’t mention in this list is that Sweden, uniquely in Europe, did not impose a mandatory lockdown at any point. Is he really claiming that this is not even a factor?

“I am not sure that it is easy to say that lockdown would make the difference … in many ways we have had a very stringent lockdown in Sweden. We have cut down on movement in society quite a lot: we have compared how much we travel in Scandinavian countries, and the decrease in travel is the same in Sweden as in neighbouring countries … In many ways the voluntary measures we put in place in Sweden have been just as effective as complete lockdowns in other countries. So I don’t think complete lockdown is the way to go for all countries … the rapidly declining cases we see in Sweden right now is another indication that you can get the number of cases down quite a lot in a country without having a complete lockdown.”

I ask again: is he claiming that lockdowns make no difference?

“We don’t know. It would have made maybe some difference, we don’t know. But on the other hand we know that lockdowns also have big other effects on public health. We know that closing schools has a great effect on children’s health in the short and the long term. We know that people being out of work also produces a lot of problems in the public health area. So we also have to look at what are the negative effect of lockdowns, and that has not been done very much so far.”

Tegnell points out the huge differences between different areas in Sweden — parts of the South that have had much lower Covid-19 than Copenhagen just over the water while Stockholm has had it much worse, despite the same lockdown policy nationwide. This he puts down to the volume of original introduction of the disease due to international travel:

“There seems to be a close connection to how many people introduced the disease at the same time… The spring holidays in Sweden are spread over four different weeks depending on different geographical regions. Unfortunately Stockholm happened to have its spring holiday just when there was an enormous spread of Covid-19 in Europe … so a lot of Swedes living in the Stockholm area came back with the disease. And that started an epidemic on a level that was much higher than the start of the epidemic in the South of Sweden, or in Finland or in Norway. Currently that’s to me the most likely theory – that if you have a massive introduction, it’s going to be a disease that is very, very hard to control.” Stockholm, in other words, was more like London or New York than Oslo or Helsinki in terms of introduction of the virus.

He believes strongly that eradication — the zero-tolerance approach that is increasingly winning the day in the UK and US — is not a viable option.

“I don’t think that this is a disease that we can eradicate – not with the methods that we have right now. It might be a disease that in the long term we can eradicate with a vaccine, but I’m not even sure about that. If you look at comparable diseases like the flu and other respiratory viruses we are not even close to eradicating them despite the fact that we have a vaccine. I personally believe that this is a disease we are going to have to learn to live with.”

Many people feel that Anders Tegnell’s approach has been overly laissez-faire and that even now, he should be introducing more draconian measures. A model this week from his Health Agency suggested as many as 3000 additional deaths may be seen in Sweden in the next year — shouldn’t he do more to stop that happening?

He insists that those projections are only models, and that he hopes and expects to achieve a much better result. But he is also mindful of whether these draconian measures may do more harm than good:

“Of course we are trying to keep the mortality rates as low as possible, but at the same time we have to look at the draconian measures you are talking about. Are they going to produce even more deaths by other means than the disease itself? Somehow we need to have the discussion of what we are actually trying to achieve. Is it better for public health as a whole? Or is it trying to suppress Covid-19 as much as possible? Because getting rid of it I don’t think is going to happen: it happened for a short time in New Zealand and maybe Iceland and those kind of countries might be able to keep it away, but with the global world we have today, keeping a disease like this away has never been possible in the past and it would be even more surprising if it were possible in the future.”

One type of intervention that does not appear to have adverse effects is encouraging, or mandating, the use of masks. This has become an intensely political issue in the US and more recently in the UK.

In Sweden mask use is minimal in almost all settings. Why is he not even recommending use of masks?

“One reason is that the evidence base for using masks in society is still very weak. Even if more and more countries are now enforcing them in different ways … we haven’t seen any new evidence coming up, which is a little bit surprising. The other reason is that everything tells us that keeping social distance is a much better way of controlling this disease than putting masks on people. We are worried (and we get at least tales from other countries) that people put on masks and then they believe they can go around in society being close to each other, even going around in society being sick. And that, in our view, would definitely produce higher spread than we have right now…”

…  On the controversial question of immunity, he suggests that a larger percentage of the population in Sweden is already immune than antibody studies suggest.

“There are a number of small studies already that show that of people who had been diagnosed with Covid-19 with PCR, not all of them develop antibodies. On the other hand we have quite a lot of evidence that falling ill with Covid-19 twice seems to be extremely rare… Obviously there is also quite a big part of the population that has other kinds of immunity and T Cell immunity is the one that is most likely.

What we see right now is a rapid fall in the number of cases, and of course some kind of immunity has to be involved in that as nothing else has changed. That means that immunity affects the R value quite a lot in Sweden today.” [https://unherd.com/2020/07/swedens-anders-tegnell-judge-me-in-a-year/

Pray an Our Father now for reparation for the sins committed because of Francis’s Amoris Laetitia. 

Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church as well as the Triumph of the Kingdom of the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Stop for a moment of silence, ask Jesus Christ what He wants you to do now and next. In this silence remember God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost – Three Divine Persons yet One God, has an ordered universe where you can know truth and falsehood as well as never forget that He wants you to have eternal happiness with Him as his son or daughter by grace. Make this a practice. By doing this you are doing more good than reading anything here or anywhere else on the Internet.

Francis Notes:

– Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales totally confirmed beyond any doubt the possibility of a heretical pope and what must be done by the Church in such a situation:

“[T]he Pope… WHEN he is EXPLICITLY a heretic, he falls ipso facto from his dignity and out of the Church, and the Church MUST either deprive him, or, as some say, declare him deprived, of his Apostolic See.”
(The Catholic Controversy, by St. Francis de Sales, Pages 305-306)

Saint Robert Bellarmine, also, said “the Pope heretic is not deposed ipso facto, but must be declared deposed by the Church.”

Yet the question of why evil exists is one that weighs heavily on many hearts always and once again on this sad anniversary. No full answer, in the form of a sentence or a proposition could ever satisfy the question of why evil exists, even if it were to drop from the sky. The ultimate answer, which does come to us from heaven itself, comes not in the form of words, but a Word, and more specifically, the Word that was made flesh (cf. John 1:14). That final answer is not a proposition, but a Person, and the embrace of One whose comfort is beyond our present 

Freedom and Truth: Reflections on what we’ve learned from 9/11By Rev. Robert A. SiricoIt feels strange to type that it’s been 20 years since 9/11. What happened 20 years ago forced us all to reckon with the expansive scope and seemingly endless depth of evil. In the midst of something so heinous, so diabolical, can the hand of the One whose finger is said to write straight with crooked lines be detected? As the stories of the orphans and their grief stricken have been told and retold, whether in our national media or in our kitchens, there remains an uncomfortable question: Why? It is not that a simple and straightforward explanation from heaven itself would heal the wounds that we bear. Yet the question of why evil exists is one that weighs heavily on many hearts always and once again on this sad anniversary. No full answer, in the form of a sentence or a proposition could ever satisfy the question of why evil exists, even if it were to drop from the sky. The ultimate answer, which does come to us from heaven itself, comes not in the form of words, but a Word, and more specifically, the Word that was made flesh (cf. John 1:14). That final answer is not a proposition, but a Person, and the embrace of One whose comfort is beyond our present understanding. The ultimate answer then, is a mystery: the mystery of encounter and embrace. That the ultimate answer is a mystery does not mean that there are no proximate answers: Among the proximate answers is the fact that human freedom, so highly prized by all people, is also at the heart of evil. In a world whose history is so frequently acquainted with totalitarian experiments, one would be tempted to think that freedom, standing alone, was its own good. Yet, to see the heart of darkness as the world saw two decades ago is to understand that mere men, for certain twisted reasons, chose to exercise their free will to destroy the freedom and lives of others. Thus, freedom, as indispensable as it is, is not sufficient for constructing the quality of society and culture appropriate to man, his dignity, and his capacity. It must be a freedom oriented to something beyond itself, as we have said so many times, oriented to Truth: the truth of man’s origin, the truth of man’s nature, and the truth of man’s destiny. That is why the Acton Institute was founded, and why its mission is to study and promote both the transcendental reality of man, and his necessary freedom; or, as we state it, “religion and liberty” and ‘the free and virtuous society”. A clear understanding of the proper relation between religion and society has never been so needed in our world as it is today. 9/11 revealed a dimension of American society that some have attempted to shield from our view, and that in the intervening years seems faded from our memory. We discovered then that, at its core, America was a profoundly religious nation, and that faith in the American experience need not be a source of division between Americans but can be the foundation of our unity on shared principles. To lose sight of that truth will be the ruin of the great contribution America can make to the world. Additionally, we know that when all of us, including political leaders, speak openly about our faith, it need not violate anyone’s conscience, much less shred the Constitution, as so many pressure groups argue. Rather, it gives rise to reflection on America’s highest and noblest aspirations and what ought to be the noblest and highest aspirations of any people. We have found that love of freedom and the embrace of faith are not incompatible; instead, they are bound up with one another, each reinforcing the other in perfect harmony. Twenty years ago, I had hope that the events of that horrific day would represent a sea-change in the way our society views the place of religion. Back then, there wasn’t a public figure who addressed the attack on the nation without a plea for prayer for the victims. Many referred to the religious roots of the Western idea of human rights, one of the things so antithetical to the terrorists’ conception. Many public spokesmen then, including the president, sought God’s blessing on our people and the aspirations of our nation. Prayer vigils had been continuous. Indeed, it is difficult to even imagine dealing with that a crisis on that scale without our faith. At the time, in a moving meditation, President George W. Bush expressed a vigorous faith by quoting St. Paul:“As we’ve been assured: Neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, or height, nor depth can separate us from God’s love. May he bless the souls of the departed, may he comfort our own, and may he always guide our country.”But I sometimes wonder: Had the president made these remarks one week earlier, would there have been an outcry, as there was during the election, when he shared his faith experience with some prayer groups? Might he have been called a theocrat and worse? As it is, his unabashed faith, relentless during the presidential campaign, was seen has a great sign of leadership. Indeed, it is. But today is another story, where we find ourselves severely divided as a nation, to the extent that the mere citation of a Scripture passage or earnest expression of faith would deepen the divide. It fills me with sadness. How tragic that it took a calamity on the scale of what we saw on Sept. 11, 2001, to impart this message and reveal the religious truth beneath the secular pretensions. But there is even more going on here. As a nation, we have always grounded our belief in human rights in a fundamentally religious idea: Human life is sacred because it has an origin in the eternity of God’s grace and possesses a destiny in His love. It is because human beings are created in the Image of God that we know that heinous actions of diabolical fanatics are crimes of such magnitude. From the Declaration of Independence through the movement to abolish slavery to the Civil Rights Movement, faith has been at the core of every event of any magnitude. Usually, that faith is invoked in defense of the sanctity and dignity of the human person, and against those who would violate it. This is as it should be. As for those who hate modern life, made possible by this vision of the human person, the choice of the World Trade Center, symbol of global free markets, was no accident. If one hates human life, one also hates the products of human creativity, and hence what better target could have been selected? These are the irrational cries of the forces of repression and bondage that hate and fear liberty, human enterprise, modernity, and ultimately, human life itself, and are mimicked by some even today. Thankfully, such forces are doomed to failure because the logic of their culture of death leads to self-immolation and destruction, whereas the logic of a rich and healthy culture of life leads to replenishment, creativity, and growth. This, then, becomes the challenge for those of us living in the post-Sept. 11 world: Will we come to see our success, prosperity, creativity, and liberty as all being a means to a higher end? Will the awareness of our transcendent reality form our day-to-day decisions and our path as a nation? And from the perspective of the Acton Institute, so concerned as we are about cultivating a religious leadership that comprehends the moral potential of human liberty and enterprise, the critical question becomes: Are our clergy prepared to speak, in so intelligent, bold, and confident a manner, so as to invite the spiritual and moral renaissance for our society so desperately yearns? It is a commonly held view that faith is somehow less necessary in times of peace, prosperity, and security – that living in a society of plenty diminishes the longing for spiritual solace. We know from our own experience that we are more likely to turn to God in difficult times than easy ones. God speaks to us with a megaphone in our pain, C.S. Lewis said, because it is when we reach the end of the rope, not when we feel ourselves to be Masters of the Universe, that we are most likely to fall on knees in supplication. My pastoral experience suggests that personal trial is a prime motivating source to seek spiritual comfort and the forgiveness of sins. At the same time, it is an error – perhaps the fundamental error – of the terrorists to believe that faith and prosperity are always inversely related. Part of the challenge of living a life of faith is to maintain a certain spiritual equilibrium in good times and bad, not to be tossed about by the winds of circumstance, flitting between bouts of depravity and sanctity, but rather seeking devotion as a daily practice. One can hope that in this somber reflection we can retrieve a tolerance for open expressions of faith. Let us hope that the abiding smirk will be permanently wiped off the faces of the cynics of faith and freedom, who have too long occupied a central place in our culture. Let us regard faith as a source of strength, comfort, and blessing to us as individuals and as a nation, the source and summit of our freedom, its barometer and compass.RAS - Signature (2)Rev.

Today he is suntanned and relaxed, having just returned from his summer holiday, and wearing an open-necked polo shirt.

After all these months, does he now think that his strategy is a failure or a success? A bit of both, he says quickly, but emphasises more of the latter:

“I think to a great extent it’s been a success. We are now seeing rapidly falling cases, we have continuously had healthcare that has been working, there have been free beds at any given time, never any crowding in the hospitals, we have been able to keep schools open which we think is extremely important, and society fairly open — while still having social distancing in place in a way that means that the spread of the disease has been limited.

The failure has of course been the death toll … that has been very much related to the long-term care facilities in Sweden. Now that has improved, we see a lot less cases in those facilities.”

Mortality is hardly an afterthought — so why is Sweden’s mortality rate so high? At around 550 per million of population, it sits just under the UK and Italy but far above neighbouring Norway and Denmark. Dr Tegnell offers a collection of reasons: with its larger migrant populations and dense urban areas, Sweden is actually more similar to the Netherlands and the UK than it is to other Scandinavian countries; he believes the Swedish counting system for deaths has been more stringent than elsewhere; also, countries are at different points in the epidemic cycle so it is too early to compare totals.

The one thing he doesn’t mention in this list is that Sweden, uniquely in Europe, did not impose a mandatory lockdown at any point. Is he really claiming that this is not even a factor?

“I am not sure that it is easy to say that lockdown would make the difference … in many ways we have had a very stringent lockdown in Sweden. We have cut down on movement in society quite a lot: we have compared how much we travel in Scandinavian countries, and the decrease in travel is the same in Sweden as in neighbouring countries … In many ways the voluntary measures we put in place in Sweden have been just as effective as complete lockdowns in other countries. So I don’t think complete lockdown is the way to go for all countries … the rapidly declining cases we see in Sweden right now is another indication that you can get the number of cases down quite a lot in a country without having a complete lockdown.”

I ask again: is he claiming that lockdowns make no difference?

“We don’t know. It would have made maybe some difference, we don’t know. But on the other hand we know that lockdowns also have big other effects on public health. We know that closing schools has a great effect on children’s health in the short and the long term. We know that people being out of work also produces a lot of problems in the public health area. So we also have to look at what are the negative effect of lockdowns, and that has not been done very much so far.”

Tegnell points out the huge differences between different areas in Sweden — parts of the South that have had much lower Covid-19 than Copenhagen just over the water while Stockholm has had it much worse, despite the same lockdown policy nationwide. This he puts down to the volume of original introduction of the disease due to international travel:

“There seems to be a close connection to how many people introduced the disease at the same time… The spring holidays in Sweden are spread over four different weeks depending on different geographical regions. Unfortunately Stockholm happened to have its spring holiday just when there was an enormous spread of Covid-19 in Europe … so a lot of Swedes living in the Stockholm area came back with the disease. And that started an epidemic on a level that was much higher than the start of the epidemic in the South of Sweden, or in Finland or in Norway. Currently that’s to me the most likely theory – that if you have a massive introduction, it’s going to be a disease that is very, very hard to control.” Stockholm, in other words, was more like London or New York than Oslo or Helsinki in terms of introduction of the virus.

He believes strongly that eradication — the zero-tolerance approach that is increasingly winning the day in the UK and US — is not a viable option.

“I don’t think that this is a disease that we can eradicate – not with the methods that we have right now. It might be a disease that in the long term we can eradicate with a vaccine, but I’m not even sure about that. If you look at comparable diseases like the flu and other respiratory viruses we are not even close to eradicating them despite the fact that we have a vaccine. I personally believe that this is a disease we are going to have to learn to live with.”

Many people feel that Anders Tegnell’s approach has been overly laissez-faire and that even now, he should be introducing more draconian measures. A model this week from his Health Agency suggested as many as 3000 additional deaths may be seen in Sweden in the next year — shouldn’t he do more to stop that happening?

He insists that those projections are only models, and that he hopes and expects to achieve a much better result. But he is also mindful of whether these draconian measures may do more harm than good:

“Of course we are trying to keep the mortality rates as low as possible, but at the same time we have to look at the draconian measures you are talking about. Are they going to produce even more deaths by other means than the disease itself? Somehow we need to have the discussion of what we are actually trying to achieve. Is it better for public health as a whole? Or is it trying to suppress Covid-19 as much as possible? Because getting rid of it I don’t think is going to happen: it happened for a short time in New Zealand and maybe Iceland and those kind of countries might be able to keep it away, but with the global world we have today, keeping a disease like this away has never been possible in the past and it would be even more surprising if it were possible in the future.”

One type of intervention that does not appear to have adverse effects is encouraging, or mandating, the use of masks. This has become an intensely political issue in the US and more recently in the UK.

In Sweden mask use is minimal in almost all settings. Why is he not even recommending use of masks?

“One reason is that the evidence base for using masks in society is still very weak. Even if more and more countries are now enforcing them in different ways … we haven’t seen any new evidence coming up, which is a little bit surprising. The other reason is that everything tells us that keeping social distance is a much better way of controlling this disease than putting masks on people. We are worried (and we get at least tales from other countries) that people put on masks and then they believe they can go around in society being close to each other, even going around in society being sick. And that, in our view, would definitely produce higher spread than we have right now…”

…  On the controversial question of immunity, he suggests that a larger percentage of the population in Sweden is already immune than antibody studies suggest.

“There are a number of small studies already that show that of people who had been diagnosed with Covid-19 with PCR, not all of them develop antibodies. On the other hand we have quite a lot of evidence that falling ill with Covid-19 twice seems to be extremely rare… Obviously there is also quite a big part of the population that has other kinds of immunity and T Cell immunity is the one that is most likely.

What we see right now is a rapid fall in the number of cases, and of course some kind of immunity has to be involved in that as nothing else has changed. That means that immunity affects the R value quite a lot in Sweden today.” [https://unherd.com/2020/07/swedens-anders-tegnell-judge-me-in-a-year/

Pray an Our Father now for reparation for the sins committed because of Francis’s Amoris Laetitia. 

Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church as well as the Triumph of the Kingdom of the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Stop for a moment of silence, ask Jesus Christ what He wants you to do now and next. In this silence remember God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost – Three Divine Persons yet One God, has an ordered universe where you can know truth and falsehood as well as never forget that He wants you to have eternal happiness with Him as his son or daughter by grace. Make this a practice. By doing this you are doing more good than reading anything here or anywhere else on the Internet.

Francis Notes:

– Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales totally confirmed beyond any doubt the possibility of a heretical pope and what must be done by the Church in such a situation:

“[T]he Pope… WHEN he is EXPLICITLY a heretic, he falls ipso facto from his dignity and out of the Church, and the Church MUST either deprive him, or, as some say, declare him deprived, of his Apostolic See.”
(The Catholic Controversy, by St. Francis de Sales, Pages 305-306)

Saint Robert Bellarmine, also, said “the Pope heretic is not deposed ipso facto, but must be declared deposed by the Church.”

A MESSAGE FROM HER GUARDIAN ANGEL


Guardian Angel

September 11, 2021

“This is the hush of the world

In the moment before justice descends,

The moment when people smile and say,

“False alarm.”

This is the hush of the world

In the moment before angels shut their eyes,

For they have been told to stand down,

So they do.

This is the hush of the world

Before the noise of hell is heard

And archangels stand with swords drawn

But are not allowed to move – Yet.

This is the hush of the world –

Remember how quiet it was.”

 However, the horror (of injecting everyone with ever more advanced technological substances) will fail, because it was conceived and implemented by a group of unintelligent billionaires, devoid of human depth, devoid of culture and, we may say, inherently evil, because they aim to cancel free will to enslave billions of people. We are facing the most macabre and perverse corrupters in Western history.    As in all totalitarianisms, the number of contradictions are increasing every day. At the end of the tunnel, we will see trials that will punish those responsible.

 After closing churches, shutting down businesses, eliminating millions of jobs, preventing families from gathering together and helping one another, the choice has been this: to inject other chains of quite interesting but still very new and untested protein sequences into our bodies with the aim of augmenting the response of the human body to the spike virus proteins, but also (it seems) with the possible consequence of confusing or weakening the innate human immune system, so that in the end there is the danger of needing additional booster shots every few months (now occurring widely in Israel, where 70% of the population is fully vaccinated), or even a daily pill, so that the average human body’s immune system will never be strengthened to resist this and other diseases on its own, but only with the input of these products.  

    The Antichrist has persuaded man that he can be happy only when he freely satisfies his instincts, eliminating the concept of good and evil, the concept of good and sin. Sin, as it were, is a burden, and the idea of getting rid of it once and for all has now become more than ever a real yearning. In the last century, the Antichrist convinced us that ‘God is dead,’ and then eliminated millions of human beings (through ideologies inspired by this belief). Today we have been banded together into a new ideology, to cancel man’s very nature. Methods may change, but the end is always the same: to prove to God that his favorite creature is the most idiotic being of creation.” —Agostino Nobile, Italian scholar, in a 2016 book he wrote on the Antichrist (link)        =================    Letter #105, 2021, Friday, September 9: Vaccinations: “The time for waiting is over” (President Joe Biden on Thursday, September 9, link)    We all agree, I think, that the last 18 months have presented us with one of the stranger spectacles of our lifetimes: a world masked and in lockdown (schools, churches, restaurants, universities, cruise ships, and on and on) due to what is evidently a protein sequence or an unusual virus containing “spike proteins” which, in turn, seem to cause, in addition to a fever and loss of the senses of smell and taste, a type of lung infection that makes it increasingly impossible to breathe, then kills the patient.    Still, the protein sequence, or virus, has acted somewhat mysteriously, causing many more deaths in some countries than in others, and, while infecting millions, killing only about one-third of one percent of the people it infects (99.7% of all infected do not die from the virus), and in the majority of cases those who have died have been the elderly and those with serious “co-morbidities,” for example, severe obesity, or a long history of prior lung and heart problems.     So a first takeaway in reflecting upon these 18 months is this: (1) more than 99+% of all human beings, in fact, seem to survive these odd (where did they come from?), microscopic spiked protein sequences (the virus, or viruses, and their various “mu” and “delta” variants) due to the good response of their own innate immune systems.    And a second takeaway, therefore, is: (2) the Number 1 thing to do to protect and preserve human health in these circumstances is to protect and strengthen the innate human immune system. (Indeed, according to an Israeli study, also published here in Science magazine on August 26, once the innate human immune system has fought off the disease, the person is 13 times “safer,” or 13 times more “immune,” than with the Pfizer vaccinations; the article was published on August 27, 2021. “It’s a textbook example of how natural immunity is really better than vaccination,” says Charlotte Thålin, a physician and immunology researcher at Danderyd Hospital and the Karolinska Institute who studies the immune responses to SARS-CoV-2. “To my knowledge, it’s the first time [this] has really been shown in the context of COVID-19.” link)    Yet, paradoxically, the global response to the disease, has been precisely the opposite.    Not the best choice, but the opposite of the best.    This seems, logically, either to be the result of ignorance or of profound ill will.    After closing churches, shutting down businesses, eliminating millions of jobs, preventing families from gathering together and helping one another, the choice has been this: to inject other chains of quite interesting but still very new and untested protein sequences into our bodies with the aim of augmenting the response of the human body to the spike virus proteins, but also (it seems) with the possible consequence of confusing or weakening the innate human immune system, so that in the end there is the danger of needing additional booster shots every few months (now occurring widely in Israel, where 70% of the population is fully vaccinated), or even a daily pill, so that the average human body’s immune system will never be strengthened to resist this and other diseases on its own, but only with the input of these products.    There has not been any concerted effort anywhere, except perhaps in Sweden (a country which never imposed drastic lockdown measures on its citizens, but does not have a dramatically more negative result than in most other countries), to ensure that all citizens receive, for example, several hours a day of walking in full sunlight (to provide the very best source of Vitamin D to their bodies, which is extremely health-giving)… not any effort to see that diet is improved and the best food is made available to all (for food is in fact a health-giving medicine, or a harm-dealing poison, as even Hippocrates knew)… nor any effort made to reduce stress, especially over one’s ability to earn a living, the chief worry of any mother or father with children (stress is the chief enemy, the chief destroyer, of a well-functioning immune system).    No, only an effort to vaccinate.    So a third takeaway is this: (3) the authorities did not choose to do what has obviously and always been throughout human history the best and most health-giving thing to do in facing a health crisis (strengthen immune systems, strengthen individual health in every way possible), but did choose to inject several different, still experimental (therefore inevitably risky, since no one can know all the possible side-effects) substances into billions of people. (See here and here for websites where negative side-effects are reported, link; and see here for a report on how vaccination did not stoop breakthrough infections).    Was this choice foolish, rather than wise? (Consider this report in Quanta magazine: “Vaccines Are Pushing Pathogens to Evolve” which suggest that employing vaccines so rapidly and without years of testing, rather than supporting and strengthening natural immune systems, may be worsening the pandemic in a tragic way.)    We will soon know.    But the choice has been and is certainly risky (despite all the repeated denials of risk).    The authorities have engaged in a colossal gamble with the health of billions.    And now US President Joe Biden is doubling down, ordering all who have not been vaccinated to receive the vaccination(s) or lose their jobs. (Here is a link to a New York Times article on Biden’s new policy, announced yesterday. And here is a link to former Vice President Mike Pence‘s denunciation of Biden’s action, though Pence himself has been vaccinated.)    The human race is being spun on a roulette wheel, supported by a chorus of non-scientific voices — the roulette wheel of the vaccinationists.    When the rolling roulette ball drops, with it fall on red… or black?    =======    Amid these musings, I was wondering what people in Italy are thinking about the vaccinations which are being prescribed for hundreds of millions worldwide.    I came across the following provocative article by Agostino Nobileentitled “But Why Do They Want Us All, All Vaccinated?”    It was posted on September 8 on Marco Tosatti’s Stilum curiaewebsite.    “Agostino Nobile, married and father of two, is a professor of music history. Twenty-five years ago he decided to leave teaching to study non-Christian cultures and for 10 years lived in the Muslim, Hindu and Buddhist worlds, an experience that strengthened his Catholic faith. Nobile now lives in Portugal with his family, where he has devoted himself to studies that deepen his faith and where he has worked as a pianist and singer up to a year ago.” (link)    I found it interesting that Nobile cites articles from years ago, from a time before the present crisis connected with the Coronavirus, and cites people who are not “fringe” voices, but quite “centrist,” political leaders and reputable scientists. In other words, the people he cites do have a well thought out vision for the future that is, seemingly, well on it way to becoming a reality.    It is a future in which traditional humans will be “transcended” by being “inter-connected” with the global computer grid.    Our true transcendence, of course, has always been through the spirit, through Christ, through that “theosis” that Christ brings by communicating His being into our being, through His words, His eucharist, His very body, His spirit.    However, this ersatz “transcendence of man” (something “ersatz” is something that is an artificial and inferior substitute or imitation of the real thing) — which is no real transcendence at all, but rather a dependence — seems to have behind it the entire force of the present world’s ruling financial and political elites.        Here is his article.    ==============    Marco Tosatti    Dear friends and enemies of Stilum Curiae, last night Agostino Nobilewrote this reflection, which concerns us all, and which we are happy to share with you. Enjoy the reading.
    §§§
    WHY DO THEY WANT EVERYONE, LITERALLY EVERYONE, TO BE VACCINATED?
    By Agostino Nobile    September 8, 2021    In 2010, I wrote an article, later reported in the collection of articles entitled “What Catholics need to know” published in 2015. I published an excerpt on the Stilum Curiae website on June 3, 2020, under the title “How they will convince us to implant the bio chip.”
    A few days ago, a friend sent me a video showing very short film clips dealing with the subject of the vaccines and the new 5G technology. Among the many videos on the subject, this video has the advantage of having gathered a short sequence of statements made by characters above any suspicion of being conspiracy theorists. I saved the video which, as expected, was soon canceled and made unavailable. Therefore, when possible, in this article I refer to the full interviews and interventions from which these video clips were drawn.
    Vittorio Colao minister for technological innovation and digital transition of the (Mario) Draghi government [of Italy], says, (see here) that with 5G we will have much more speed, more or less under 8/9 milliseconds [NoteWhat this 8 or 9 milliseconds refers to is not clear, but the point is, the 5G technology is blazing fast in transmitting data] “and one can do everything remotely almost instantly.” Among other facilities there is also that of “perhaps injecting or releasing a medical substance necessary for health conditions.” [Note: Evidently Colao is saying that, a signal may be sent from outside the body to a receiver inside the body to inject a medicine inside the body in some specific place, at almost instantaneous speed.]
    But how can substances be released remotely? Roberto Cingolani, currently Italy’s Minister of Ecological Transition, explains it to us. “Can we make a robot that works inside the human body?” asks Cingolani. We have “a merging of therapy (treatment) and diagnostics (diagnosis), a very small, intelligent object, capable of traveling in the human body, capable of finding the diseased cell and of stopping just above it and of releasing the medicine we need there, or even of transcribing the correction, the genetic sequence we want to transcribe […]” These very small objects are magnetic particles “which are also fluorescent.” These tiny particles (“quantum cubes”) “can raise the temperature beyond 50 degrees Celsius. [Note: about 122 degrees Fahrenheit]. There is no cell that can withstand this temperature for obvious reasons, so they are extremely small local burners [Note: that is, they can burn specific cells to death].”
    What could happen with these tiny “burners”?     Professor Alessia D’Arrigo, after the first dose of vaccine, noted a rise in inflammation “like so many cigarette lighters” throughout her body and after five months she finds herself in the same condition, to which severe headaches have been added, risking a thrombosis. See hereThe vax testimony of Alessia Darrigo, high school teacher. [Note: She was vaccinated on March 9 and gave an interview on what was her reaction in June, 2021]. Listening to Ms. D’Arrigo it is difficult not to think of the quantum cubes mentioned by Cingolani.
    Nanotechnology for therapeutic purposes is undoubtedly a great discovery [Note: so the author is saying that this technology does seem to have amazing potential for performing a positive medical service], but as we know, if it is true that the knife is a tool that we can no longer do without, it is equally true that it has been and will be used to cut the throat of others. But what else can be done with nano-robots? Let’s hear from the most interesting and visionary billionaire on the planet, Elon Musk. [Note: The multi-billionaire founder of Tesla Motors.] 
    The chip in the brain. “We are already cyborgs,” Musk says in a 2016 interview [Note: a cyborg is a mixture of a mechanical and a natural organism, see here]. “We practically have superpowers already thanks to computers and smartphones. But to truly unite in a symbiotic way with artificial intelligence you need an interface with the brain. A direct link between brain and computer.” The interviewer asks: “But is it something that requires surgery?”
    “No, you can inject it into the veins through the blood or directly into the jugular. From there it quickly reaches the neurons.” (We are already cyborgs | Elon Musk | Code Conference 2016.)
    Too visionary? By no means! Hundreds of scientists have been working on it for years, even in Italy. Among other things, this transhuman technology is discussed, as I have written, at Davos and by numerous billionaires.
    Later in the video made up of the various brief clips is an interview with Professor Stefano Panzeri, Senior Researcher in the Italian Institute of Technology in Genoa, where he deals with nanotechnology especially for therapeutic purposes. Among his comments about nanotechnology, he states that it is a tool that can be used “to manipulate the cognitive abilities of the person.” A fact which is confirmed by all nanotechnology researchers.
    We come to us. Although the Israeli, British and US authorities have made it clear that vaccinated people can still become infected and in turn infect others, Italy’s Prime Minister Mario Draghi perseveres on the path of vaccination with aberrant coercive methods. And given that he continues to deny the drugs with which thousands of Covid-19 patients have already been treated, we should ask ourselves if this serum does not already contain some of the quantum cubes.
    Why are all doctors who treat Covid with already existing drugs being ostracized?     Why do national newspapers and TV networks demonize them?     Why is there no mention in the media about people having their lives destroyed because of the vaccine?     Why isn’t it admitted that thousands of deaths around the world are caused by vaccines?     Why don’t we talk about the demonstrations in many cities of the planet against the vaccine and the Covid Pass?
    (Note: Nobile rhetorically then asks the Italian authorities to explain their harsh lockdown policies)    Are you sure the problem is a virus? Or maybe you plan to implement a program that will make humans into zombies?
    Where are the police, the magistrates, the honest journalists? Inquire, doubt. Why have you never tried to see what anyone can find on internet sites? TV and mainstream newspapers are not Delphic oracles, they are the same ones who spread the lies against Saddam Hussein accusing him of being in possession of biological weapons. A fake that caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people, catastrophes in Muslim countries and terrorism in the world. Do not conform to those who will destroy your life, that of your children and grandchildren. You are paid by the people to defend the people, if you do not do it you will be held primarily responsible.
    However, this horror will fail, because it was conceived and implemented by a group of unintelligent billionaires, devoid of human depth, devoid of culture and, we may say, evil, because they aim to cancel free will to enslave billions of people. We are facing the most macabre and perverse corrupters in Western history.
    As in all totalitarianisms, the number of contradictions are increasing every day. At the end of the tunnel, we will see trials that will punish those responsible. (…)

The Lattimer massacre was the violent deaths of at least 19 unarmed striking immigrant anthracite miners at the Lattimer mine near Hazleton, Pennsylvania, on September 10, 1897.[1][2] The miners, mostly of PolishSlovakLithuanian and German ethnicity, were shot and killed by a Luzerne County sheriff’s posse. Scores more workers were wounded.[3] The massacre was a turning point in the history of the United Mine Workers (UMW).[4]

Background[edit]

The economies of Central and Eastern Europe were struggling in the late 19th century. The European rural population was growing faster than either the agricultural or new industrial sectors of the economy could absorb, industrialization was disrupting both the agricultural and craft economy, and there was increasing competition from large-scale commercial and foreign agricultural producers.[5] These factors drove most of the mass immigration to the US.[5]Disproportionate numbers of new Slavic immigrants worked in the coal mining industry,[5] where they were among the most exploited of all mine workers.[4]During strikes in Northeast Pennsylvania by English-speaking miners in 1875 and 1887, many Slavic miners were imported as strikebreakers, and were “despised as scabs” by the English-speaking immigrant and American miners of the region.[6]

Conditions in coal mines of the late 19th century were harsh. Mine safety was poor, such that 32,000 miners in Northeast Pennsylvania had died since 1870.[7]Wages, already low in a competitive industry, fell 17% during the mid-1890s after a coal industry slump.[4][8] Although wages had improved some by the fall of 1897, anthracite coal companies in the region cut wages and consolidated operations within the mines (often resulting in more laborious working conditions).[4] In some cases, companies forced workers to lease homes from the company and required them to see only company doctors when injured.[4]

Proclamation by Sheriff Martin, dated September 6, 1897, warning against unlawful assembly, “tumult”, and interference with the peaceful operation of any mines or mining equipment

In August 1897, the Honey Brook division of the Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre Coal Company laid off workers at its strip mines, cut the pay of the remaining employees, and raised fees for workers residing in the area’s company towns.[4] The company consolidated its mule stables, forcing teenage mule drivers to travel much farther each day to pick up their mules (time for which they were not compensated).[4][9] After inconclusive talks, 25 to 35 teenaged drivers struck on August 14, 1897.[4][9] A scuffle between a supervisor and some drivers led to additional walkouts by strip miners as well as underground coal miners, and by August 16 nearly 2,000 workers were on strike.[4][9] Nearly all the miners joined the UMW (United Mine Workers) on August 18, and within two days almost all the mines in the region had closed due to the spreading strike.[1] Many Slavic miners had not joined the nascent United Mine Workers, both because of ethnic discrimination exhibited by English-speaking and American miners but also because of the poor relationships between unionized miners and the former strikebreakers.[6] But worsening working conditions and a UMW call for a 15 percent wage increase drew many Slavic miners into the union.[1][10]

The first wave of the strike ended on August 23, after the company agreed to pay overtime, bring wages up to the regional average, allow miners to see their own doctors when injured, and no longer force miners to live in company-owned housing.[4] A second strike began on August 25. Teenaged breaker boys at the A.S. Van Wickle coal breaker in the nearby village of Colerain struck for higher wages as well.[4] When Van Wickle attempted to use Slavic workers as strikebreakers, the Slavs joined the strike instead. Although the strike spread to two other nearby coal works, the company quickly agreed to raise wages up to the regional average and the strike ended on or about August 28.[4]

But when the new pay rates were announced on September 1, only a limited number of workers received raises.[4][10] Management did agree to treat Slavic workers more fairly,[10]but the mine owners reneged on their other promises.[4] The strikes resumed. On September 3, 3,000 workers marched on four mines, shutting them down.[1][11]

The mine owners’ private armed force, the Coal and Iron Police, proved too few in number to break the strike, so the owners appealed for help from Luzerne County Sheriff James F. Martin.[10] Martin established a posse of about 100 English and Irish citizens to prevent any further marches from occurring.[1][2] Within five days, 8,000 to 10,000 miners were on strike.[1][4][12] On September 8, mine owners demanded that the sheriff of Schuylkill County arrest several thousand miners who had assembled near Pottsville and had forced a mine to shut down, but the sheriff refused.[10]

Massacre[edit]

On Friday, September 10, about 300 to 400 unarmed strikers—nearly all of them Slavs and Germans—marched to a coal mine owned by Calvin Pardee at the town of Lattimer to support a newly formed UMW union.[1][2][4][9][10] Their goal was to support the newly formed UMW union at the still-open Lattimer mine.[2][9] The demonstrators were confronted by law enforcement officials several times on the road and ordered to disperse, but kept marching.[10]

The deputies had spent most of the morning joking about how many miners they would kill.[13] While on a streetcar headed for Lattimer with the sheriff and his comrades, one deputy was overheard saying “I bet I drop six of them when I get over there.”[14][15]

When the demonstrators reached Lattimer at 3:45 pm, they were met again by the sheriff and 150 armed deputies.[2][9][16] Sheriff Martin ordered the marchers to disperse, and then attempted to grab an American flag out of the hands of the lead marcher.[2][9][17] A scuffle ensued, and the police opened fire on the unarmed crowd.[2] At least 19 miners died, and anywhere from 17 to 49 others were wounded.[1][2][3][9][17] Many had been shot in the back, and several had multiple gunshot wounds, which indicated that they had been targeted by the deputies.[10][18]

Aftermath[edit]

The strike led to temporary mass unrest in the area. After Sheriff Martin telephoned for help, the Pennsylvania National Guard was dispatched to the county to restore order.[10][19] Late on the evening of September 10, more than 2,500 troops of the Third Brigade (partly stationed in Luzerne County) had been deployed.[19] Local Slavic community leaders held a rally on September 11 to try to calm the workers, raise money for the provision of the families, and seek the prosecution of Sheriff Martin and his deputies.[10] Outraged miners searched in vain on September 12 for Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre Coal Company mine superintendent Gomer Jones, and destroyed his home when they could not find him.[10] On September 20, a group of Slavic women (armed with fireplace pokers and rolling pins) led some 150 men and boys to shut down the McAdoo coal works, but were turned back by the quick arrival of National Guard troops.[19][20] The Guard’s artillery unit was withdrawn on September 24, and the rest of the troops five days later.[19]Deputy shooting a miner, while he is on the ground. Caption reads “What is crime in Pennsylvania anyhow?”

Sheriff Martin and 73 deputies were arrested and put on trial.[9][10] At trial, the defendants claimed that the marchers had refused to obey an order to disperse and were charging toward the sheriff and his deputies.[18] As recounted by witness John Pusti in formal testimony:

I was with the strikers when the shooting occurred. When we approached the Sheriff he walked to the middle of the road and told us to stop. Some few of the men went forward, and I then heard two volleys from the deputies. None of the strikers was armed. I was shot in the right arm and as I started to run I was shot in the right leg, the ball entering from the back and coming out in front.[21]

Further medical evidence showed that nearly all the strikers had been shot in the back.[10][18] Nonetheless, the sheriff and his deputies were acquitted.[9][10]

The Lattimer massacre was a turning point in the history of the United Mine Workers (UMW).[4] The UMW, struggling to establish itself in Pennsylvania’s coal mines, witnessed a dramatic upsurge of more than 10,000 new members.[9][10] The incident helped end a longstanding myth about the docility of non-English speaking miners.[22] Just three years later, the union was powerful enough to win large wage increases and safety improvements for miners throughout the region.[2] It significantly boosted the union career of John Mitchell, an activist for the UMW who would be elected president of the national union due to his efforts during the Lattimer strikes.[23]

The crossroads where the Lattimer massacre occurred remained unmarked for 80 years. In 1972, the United Labor Council of Lower Luzerne and Carbon Counties and the UMW erected a small memorial on the site.[24]

Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on AS WE COMMEMORATE THE 9/11 MASSACRE TOMORROW IT SEEMS APPROPRIATE TO REMEMBER OTHER MASSACRES THAT TARNISH OUR HISTORY

Right now, thanks to Joe Biden, Mexican drug cartels have set up shop along our nation’s southern border, and the flow of fentanyl, the most lethal drug of them all, into our country is at an all-time high. And our government, our elected leaders are doing nothing about it.

Our Never-Ending Pandemic

By: Judd Garrett

Objectivity is the Objective

September 8, 2021

Imagine if you will, that the Wuhan Lab from which the Covid-19 pandemic originated due to their gain of function experiments on bat coronaviruses, actually intentionally produced, released and spread this virus throughout the world, killing over 5 million people world-wide, what would our response be? Would we not conduct a Nuremberg-like trial for the people behind this nefarious plan? Would all those responsible be facing the death penalty for knowingly and intentionally killing of millions of people, even though, the virus only has a 4% mortality rate even among the most vulnerable? Would any of these people be allowed to plea down to a lesser charge and be allowed to walk free in 6 months. Didn’t we try and hang every Nazi we could get our hands on after World War II ended? Didn’t we spend decades bringing to justice anybody who had any connection to any of the Nazi death camps, from prison guards to accountants. All were guilty, all had blood on their hands, all deserved the most extreme justice we could administer for the millions of deaths to which they were connected.


It strikes me as extremely incongruent that the people who produce, release and spread substances into this country, and into the rest of the world, who are directly responsible for the deaths of over 80,000 Americans, and over a million world-wide, the drug producers and drug dealers, who knowingly and willingly commit mass murder every year are not hunted down with the same righteous fervor that we hunted down the Nazis, and would hunt down any person connected to the intentional release of a deadly pathogen.


Why isn’t every member of the Sackler family, the owners of Purdue Pharmaceutical who continually lied about the safety of OxyContin which created the opioid epidemic, wearing an orange jumpsuit and sitting in a 6×8 jail cell right now? Yes, they paid 25% of the fortune they accumulated from their actions that killed millions of people, but they still walked away with over $12 billionfrom the deaths of Americans, and went back to their mansions and limousines. Every single one of them should be in jail for the remainder of their natural lives, and every cent of their fortune should have been confiscated. They willingly released a drug into the country that they knew would kill tens of thousands of people every year, and they did it anyway. But no, their children will grow up to become congressmen and senators, using the money they received for killing Americans to rise to power so they can rule over the next generation of Americans.


Right now, thanks to Joe Biden, Mexican drug cartels have set up shop along our nation’s southern border, and the flow of fentanyl, the most lethal drug of them all, into our country is at an all-time high. And our government, our elected leaders are doing nothing about it. In your lifetime, you will probably come across more people who will die of drug overdoses, than will die of Covid-19, and definitely more people under the age of 50. If we treated drugs with the same aggressiveness that we treat Covid-19, hundreds of thousands, if not millions more of our youth would be alive and thriving today. But we treat the guy on the corner not wearing a mask with more contempt than we treat the guy on the corner dealing deadly drugs. 


People say that we lost the war on drugs, that it has been a colossal waste of time and money. That may be true, but its only true because we have fought the war on drugs the same way we have fought the other wars that we have lost, Vietnam and Afghanistan. You cannot win a war if you put being politically correct ahead of winning. 


We know where most of the poppy fields are around the world right now. We should send our B-2 bombers to incinerate ever poppy field in the world that we know about, and when they replant, do it again, and again, and again, until they get the message. That would be a use of our military superiority that would save American lives, and the lives of people from every country. One may argue, that is a violation of the national sovereignty of these other countries. True, but imagine if those same fields were producing Anthrax to be released in the United States to kill tens of thousands. Those fields would be incinerated within 48 hours of us discovering them, and we would not have one ounce of concern about that country’s national sovereignty.


Every drug producer, drug dealer, drug pusher who is caught should spend the remainder of their natural lives in a prison cell with zero chance for ever seeing the light of day again. Until we take this problem with the seriousness it deserves, victory in this war will forever elude us.


We are staring at one of the most deadly and horrific epidemics in our nation’s history, and we are doing very little about it. The drug epidemic has killed more Americans than Covid-19, international terrorism, climate change, and all our wars combined. But many people, especially those in power who could actually do something, do not give it a second thought as our families, our communities and our country are being torn apart by one of the most preventable threats we have ever faced.
