Chapter 18 The Riots

It seems rather strange how a chapter about the riots in the US and around the world follows a chapter about the Perfect Republic. But history always seems to write itself. On May 25, 2020 a video surfaced about a black man being killed by a cop. The officer held his knee on the back and side of George Floyd’s neck until he passed out. Other officers, if you can call them that, knelt on George Floyd’s back and legs. After a few days questions began to arise and after watching the video a few days later a few questions came up.

https://www.nytimes.com/video/us/100000007159353/george-floyd-arrest-death-video.html

Reviewing the facts and video.

1. Who sits outside of a store waiting for police after passing a counterfeit $20?

2. Why would police arrest a man for passing a counterfeit $20?

3. The 2 passengers and the victim did appear really intoxicated.

4. Passengers and victim appear completely cooperative.

5. By standers did step in to plead with police. The officer on Floyd’s neck pulled out a can of mace.

6. EMT’s did a half ass check for vital signs. They don’t even go through the motions.

7. No medical attention was administered on the scene.

8. 5 minutes with no medical attention after the heartbeat was lost.

The video speaks for itself. The video also shows the officer who killed George Floyd arrived on the scene after George Floyd was in the back of a squad car. The officer pulled George Floyd from the squad car, threw him to the ground and began to torture his victim for over eight minutes. This all seems rather strange.

Days later the news reported that the officer and George Floyd worked at the same nightclub and butted heads before that arrest or murder on May 25th.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBcRjJ_zgQA

It is apparent the officer used his badge to enforce a vendetta against George Floyd. That is a clear case of using a position to one’s advantage to eek out revenge. Which should never be allowed in any civilized society.

In any case, the judicial system has to run its course. People are out there protesting now for two weeks. Don’t they realize that if they expect to see justice in the courtroom the prosecution has to prepare an airtight case against the officers involved. Nothing has been done to change any of the laws in force. Lawyers for the defendant, the prosecution, and the judges have no choice but to follow the law to the letter. If the prosecutor assigned to the case goes to court half prepared, the lawyers for the defendant will tear that prosecutor apart and use every loop hole in the book to get the defendants off with reduced sentences. Or if the prosecution does a poor job of preparing for the case, the defendants may walk away free men based on a technocality. I am surprised those protesters have not been taught the basics in a court trial plus the media and every politician has completely missed that point.

Then we had a second shooting in Atlanta on June 12, 2020. Rayshard Brooks was found sleeping in his car in a Wendy’s drive through. Officers were called and found an intoxicated man behind the wheel of a rental car. A sobriety test showed the suspect over the legal limit to drive. A fight broke out during the arrest. Rayshard Brooks grabbed one of the police officer’s tasers and ran. After discharging the taser at one of the officers, Brooks was shot to death. No one will argue, the officers did everything by the book up to the point they attempted to handcuff Brooks. After the struggle broke out, the book flew out the window and both officers relied on instincts and not training. No one will argue the poor judgment used by the officer when Brooks attempted to flee on foot. Poor judgment that resulted in the death of another person at the hands of police.

If nothing else, the incident with Brooks recorded on police body cameras as well as a cell phone camera and surveillance camera will one day make a valuable police training film. In the mean time we can do nothing more than mourn the loss of another victim and do our best to learn from the situation and take the necessary steps to ensure it will never happen again.

Life tells all of us, we learn the most from our mistakes. And we have proof of that today. No one with half a brain will argue the point, changes have to be made. But what are those changes? Today we have streets all over America filled with thousands of protesters crying for change. The problem is, not one of them has any idea what needs to be changed or any idea how to change anything. They cry on the streets, march, hold signs and what? They tell people to change. Change what? My dad always said, “don’t complain unless you have a better idea.” We see a lot of complaining. Way too much complaining. Leaders and people organizing those protests have no ideas. No one has seen anyone suggest a single idea or solution. It is like the general public expects politicians to have the ideas, the solutions, like voting someone into office sprinkles them with some magic dust that gives them wisdom to solve every problem that rears its ugly head. But life does not work that way. It never has and it never will. People are not born nor are they voted into office with the ability to solve situations they have no experience in. As a matter of fact, the worst thing we can do is put people with no experience in charge of solving these problems. The media and politicians are filling the heads of the American public with the notion that a hand picked group of people with no police experience have the solution. That is the craziest thing I have ever heard.

My dad was a master instructor. He was in charge of a company of instructors in the army where my brother and I served under him. My dad always said, “no one can possibly teach anything they have not experienced themselves.” That is true. Instructors in his company had to dismantle and reassemble whatever they were assigned to teach their students to repair. In the army it will one day boil down to a life or death situation when repairs have to be made on a battle field. There was no second best. Every student had to be the best in their field.

No one can teach another person how to drive a car if they never drove a car. No one can teach anyone how to drive a full sized dump truck, a pavement scraper, front end loader, excavator, crane or any piece of construction equipment if they never operated that piece of equipment. In a lot of industries it is obvious, teachers cannot not teach unless they have long hours of experience behind them. The same is true in the police force.

Today we are faced with insanity. The media and many politicians are agreeing with protesters that America needs to completely get rid of the police force. Then who is going to train the new police force? Are we going to have a new police force? No one knows. There has not been a single protester or organizer who has come forward with a single idea. All they do is say there has to be change. But the only solution they have offered is to get rid of every person with police experience. That is far beyond insane.

When we look a little deeper into societies problems, we can see the real source of the problem. The education system. We have indisputable proof the education system in America and world wide is a failure. Look at the thousands of protectors. Thousand of people and not a single idea or solution between them. Look at who they choose to follow. Thousands of people all over America and the world have chosen to follow a handful of self proclaimed leaders without a single positive idea or solution to the problem at hand. Why have thousands of people suddenly decided to follow leaders with no ideas and no solutions? Because they spent an entire life going through an education system that failed to teach them how to approach a problem and find a solution. To date not a single one of them has displayed any problem solving skills.

There is no doubt the education system across the world has to be rebuilt from the ground up. But today we have to go back to experience and relearn one simple rule. We have to examine one problem at a time and look for solutions. This is not going to be a popular idea and I know it is going to be met with a lot of resistance and criticism. But we have to look at the issue and admit, experience is the best teacher and we all learn the most from our mistakes.

We have to revamp the education system in the police force across this entire nation. The people most qualified to lead that reeducation effort are the officers involved in arrests that went terribly wrong. Only those officers have the experience to look back on, examine, and ask, what could I have done differently? Like it or not those are the only officers qualified to re-instruct the police officers we have now and future generations of police officers. There is no other solution.

Chapter 17 The Perfect Republic

We can only imagine what President Kennedy had in mind when he set out to improve education and motivate American voters to cast an educated vote. We do know that is why President Kennedy was assassinated. Some think it may have been socialist or communists. We cannot overlook American political figures hiding in the democratic and republican parties. Both parties have their share of power hungry individuals with supreme power on their minds and agenda. They fear educated voters.

I live by a set of simple principles. A man is only as good as his word. A hand shake is as good as any signed contract. Government is a necessary evil. The smaller the government the better. A government is only as good as the voters involvement before, during, and after an election. And one more. If the world thought like me, it would be a perfect place to live.

What would a perfect republic consist of? What would it look like? What would a perfect republic have for a government? How would the prefect republic serve the people? We’ve never really seen the perfect republic. The founding fathers of the US had visions. But early US history shows how President Washington had problems with congress. And those problems grew over the years. The authors of the Constitution wrote about their personal concepts and visions for the future. They wrote about the advantages they saw and their fears. We may all have our personal views on a perfect republic. How were those viewed formed? Where did those concepts come from? America had its share of great leaders with unusual concepts of freedom. One detail stood out above all, education.

By far education is the key to a free society and the perfect republic. To be a perfect republic America needs the most advanced education system in the world. That would take revamping the majority of the present education system from top to bottom. In the prefect republic instructors will teach from experience. My dad was an instructor. He was in charge of a company of instructors in the army and always said, “no one can ever teach something they have never experienced.” I know that’s true. I’ve taken classes from both experienced instructors and carrier teachers with no personal experience in life or what they were teaching. Instructors with practical experience go beyond the book into reality and real life experiences. This is especially essential when research is required such as engineering, science, medial, culinary, design, and other carries. Instructors with experience normally posses the drive to see their students advance to a higher level than what they have been able to achieve. In the perfect republic top people in every position of every business would consider it an honor to pass their experience onto others. Because the teaching profession would be a secondary carrier, education costs would be low. The majority of teachers would be semi-retired professionals from all fields. With their retirement funds secure, the teaching field would be another wrung on their carrier ladder. Teaching would be a way of giving back to the community. Of course teachers would undergo vigorous training to prepare them for the classroom. Quality would be second to none in this world. Low education costs would eliminate the need for middleman lenders and school loans. All educational costs would be tax deductible and to attract the brightest and most promising work force, companies would offer education assistance programs. For the most part the education system would see little government involvement.

In political circles the perfect republic would feature low taxes. In a perfect republic there would be no wasted spending, no special interest groups, and absolutely no theft from US taxpayers on any level. In a perfect republic every elected representative would strive to offer the best services, the best products, and complete every project to the highest level of qualify in every area from road maintenance to defense. Every person along every phase of every project would work to eliminate over spending, waste, and less than quality work, services, equipment, and products. In the perfect republic every vendor and supplier would consider it an honor to serve their country in every capacity they are involved. In the perfect republic it would be an honor to serve in public office. Such an honor, every elected official in America would limit their service to one or two terms. Respect for their fellow Americans would call them to step down and allow others to share in that honor. In the prefect republic new representatives at every level would have an deep pool of knowledge and experience to draw upon. Because in a republic, elected representatives rely on the input of those they represent. Any republic that fails to take advantage of that fact is doomed to fail.

The perfect republic would require few new laws. All the people would live their life guided by honesty, fair play, and helping their fellow Americans. It would be the duty of each citizen to help their fellow American. Trust is worth more than gold. No one would be caught dead taking advantage of another person. Scammers would not exist. Elected officials would never have to spend countless hours going over new laws and measures that take the place of common sense. More time would be spent mingling among the people who elected them. In the perfect republic the world would see the true definition of a public servant.

In the prefect republic prisons would be few and far between. The individual conscience and fear of social isolation would keep everyone in check. Committing a crime, any crime would be looked down upon by every member of society. Lies would be as great a crime as murder. Jails would be local. Of course there will always be judgment errors in society. But in the perfect republic, individuals among the educated masses would never commit any premeditated crime. The results of any premeditated crime would always lead to more shame than any human is able to bear. Local jail systems would work hand in hand with the education system. Those found guilty of crimes would have access to the best education in the world to ensure time spent in prison would be time spent rebuilding a better life.

In the perfect republic the media would be known as a trusted source of information. Every story would be checked and double checked to insure the facts are unbiased and backed up by reliable sources. In the prefect republic the media would follow its own ethics code to ensure the service they supply to the public is second to none. No politician would ever dream of using the media to sling mud or hurl baseless accusations at an opponent. In the perfect republic politicians would not rely on advertising to win an election. Their track record, beliefs on policies, and public life would be open records for all to view. Elections would be determined by facts, not by the amount of money one candidate would be able to spend. In the prefect republic money would never form a connection between candidates and the media.

Business would be quite different under the perfect republic. When justice, honesty, and trust prevail, businesses of all types would rely on practicing those qualities to compete. When one slip up could cost an individual their business, you have to believe every business owner would fall in line when it comes to general business practices. The government model emphasizing local government would be followed by businesses. Local independent businesses would be present in every community. Independent businesses would flourish. Car repair, doctors, dentists, construction, maintenance, and repairs of all types would be trusted to the local professionals. The revamped education system would guarantee the latest knowledge, know how, and technology in all areas of business. The prefect republic would eliminate corporate greed and the problems that follow. To understand the concept of business under the perfect republic, we have to review the conditions under which the US was formed.

Before there was a United States, America was made up of colonies. In short those local colonies were controlled by English businesses who paid the king fees to gain total control of a particular area in the new land. No one was allowed to buy or sell without permission from the local governor, a man appointed by the owner of the English company. Everything the colony needed was imported by the English company that of course set prices. All exports went through the same English company who of course set the purchase price of every product grown and manufactured in the colony for export. The same was true for every good and service traded within and outside the colony. Bartering for goods and services was often deemed illegal by the English company. In essence, the colony had to deal with a monopoly. Governors had total control over everything that was bought and sold. Based on what we’ve seen during this corona crisis, many US governors don’t know their US history. As we can see, many of the protesters who were against emergency laws imposed by governors knew US history and felt it was their duty to remind the governors about the repression that sparked the revolutionary war.

The United States sprang from the idea and concept that every person was free to establish and run their own business free of government control. Not everyone was going to own their own business, but when enough businesses were established people had a choice on who they wanted to work for. An increase in businesses opened up opportunities for everyone. That was a concept our founding fathers saw. The prefect republic would follow that idea and take it to the next level.

The perfect republic would have minimum government involvement in business. Supply and demand would set and establish prices. Public image would mold corporate decisions to protect the environment. Everything draws back to education. Education to produce products as safely as possible for the employees and environment. In the perfect republic negligence on any level would spell disaster for any company. We would not need government rules and regulations to control every facet of business. Private organizations to promote worker safety and environmental protection would cover the majority of issues. Of course, mistakes and negligence would spell doom for any company. Business owners with blinders manufactured by profit would soon find themselves without workers and customers. Moral standards would shape the entire economy.

This all sounds like a dream. But a dream that would soon become a reality if people trusted one another, respected one another, and learned to work together. The perfect republic is not built upon votes, broken promises, taxes, nor laws. The perfect republic is built on morals. If everyone shared the same morals and worked in the same direction, anything could be accomplished and everything would be accomplished. Take out the senseless laws, taxes, and greed that chain down America and what would we have? A totally different world. A world people say is an impossible dream few have shared. Martian Luther King, John Kennedy, and Robert Kennedy all shared that dream. They talked about it. The wrote about it. They tried to pass laws to make it a reality. All three have one more thing in common. They were all killed by greed. And the nation has been engulfed in that greed for over 60 years. Are we going to allow three bullets to control America, or are we the people going to shape the American dream and make it a reality?

Update May 30, 2020 Slaying in Minneapolis

I am not sure how this is related to the COVID crisis, but a man was killed by a police officer in Minneapolis on May 25th. The police officer is white and his victim was black. This is tragic incident that should have never occurred and we cannot allow this type of brutality from any branch of law enforcement. People have the right to be heard and the right to protest these types of tragedies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_George_Floyd

Immediately the media turned the incident into a race issue. Reports from every news agency began with, “a while cop killed a black man by kneeling on his neck.” People in Minneapolis took to the streets to protest. Peaceful protests lasted only a short time before rioting and looting took over. By Friday protests spread all over the country. Major cities saw crowds gather and for the most part, peaceful marches. In Minneapolis protesters burnt down a police station, looted a number of businesses, and burned some to the ground. Some business owners posted signs, “Black Owned Business.” The media went on a feeding frenzy to turn this incident into a race war.

In America it really shouldn’t matter what color the police officer or the victim are. Killing a suspect is going too far. Especially if it takes more than eight minutes to torture the victim to death. No American should stand for that. But it is just as wrong to turn this into a race issue. Then to play the race card to justify rioting, looting, and burning businesses? America should be past that juvenile stage and for the most part is. All the officers involved in the slaying need to be held accountable. So do the looters and those destroying property. There is no excuse for that type of action. The police officer cannot claim he was having a bad day and expect to walk free. Neither should the looters. They stole property. The looters destroyed property. The looters ruined businesses and people’s lives. They destroyed government properly and now tax payers have to pay for it. The looters broke the law and well, let’s listen to the protesters. They demand justice and equality. In this case justice must remain a two way street. Let’s look at the race card they played. They are demanding equal treatment. Sure the police involved will face charges and most likely will receive the maximum penalty. Let’s call out the people calling for equality. If they are serious, they will turn themselves in and set the example for their community by displaying their dedication to equality by demanding a fair trial and paying for their crimes. If they claim equality and want people to take them seriously, they need to step up and set the example. But if they want to hide behind that race card and show the world equality has nothing to so with it, what they really want is an excuse to be above the law, they will never accomplish a thing. They will add to the problem and never take a single step in solving anything.

Let’s take a look at simple human nature. Someone who wants to right a wrong goes out of their way to establish their credibility and standards. When someone wants their voice heard, understood, and taken seriously, they do their best to offer an example people look up to. Especially in the political arena where mud slinging is a way of life, one must make their life a small target to shoot at. When negotiating basic human rights, your opponent will take careful aim at every flaw they can find. People who dedicate their lives to a higher standard for everyone set that standard in their own lives long before they take to the streets. The most dramatic changes in US society came from people who lead by example. Their lives and moral standards attracted people because those people knew they could trust that person and had no doubts where that person stood.

On the other hand, people interested in their own welfare and personal gain use circumstances as an excuse. An excuse to break the law. If one person did that, it gives us the right to do this. Life and society become a bottomless pit of lawlessness establishing a moral conduct based on what the other side did wrong. That leads only to a downward spiral. Nothing good has ever come from the mentality of looking for excuses to break the law.

I doubt is one of those looters will stand up to be an example of what is right and lead by example. Most likely there is not a leader among them. There is not a single person among those rioters capable of leading by example. By that I mean a good example. They are only capable of setting a poor example and watching others go beyond their poor example by stealing more, or causing more damage. And what will that accomplish? If equality is what they seek, they are headed in the wrong direction.

Those looters are using the death of a black man at the hands of a white cop as an excuse to unleash their frustration. Looters are protesting one thing and one thing only. Those looters are against everyone who puts in long hours of hard work to make a better life. Looters are looking for an easy way to get by in life and detest anyone who stands up to be an example of achieving the American dream through hard work. It doesn’t matter what color those business owners are, those rioters hate the example true Americans set. The battle is between those who work to improve their way of life and the people who want everything given to them or they will find a way of taking it.

Watching videos of those protests I had to wonder to myself, how many of those protesters are going to vote socialist? I wonder how many were Sanders supporters. I wonder how many of them know how Biden set up one socialist government in Ukraine and then another. I wonder how many of them know what those socialist governments did in Ukraine. How those governments suppressed the people, freedom of speech, and used every means to silence protesters, I wonder how many of the protesters across this country know that Ukraine had to rise up to over throw their government because everyday life was far worse than what we saw that police officer do to that man in Minneapolis. I wonder how many of those protesters know Joe Biden set up an oppressive government in Ukraine. The government the people had to fight to over throw in 2014.

The Political View Verses the Moral View

Let’s face the facts. On the political side we do have opposing factions who insist they follow God. Some insist they hear God and are following God’s commands. Others insist they are guided by moral convictions established by religious beliefs. And of course we have a vast majority of Americans who believe we need a President, and of course a government guided by God. The vast majority of Americans believe we need a government who is going to make the right decisions, and somehow make the United States a country that looks after the interest of its people, treats everyone fairly, taxes fairly, has a strong defense, helps other countries, and is wise enough so other countries do not take advantage of our generosity. Is that asking for too much?

When we mix religion with politics in an election year, we know there will be reactions. This is nothing new. John Kennedy addressed that question when he ran for President.

https://youtu.be/mBNlS8Zg1WA

John Kennedy discussed some rather valid points. Religion is personal. Each candidate has the same right to worship as they choose. Candidates have the same rights as every US citizen. John Kennedy went on to point out, if one religion is persecuted by the media or special interest groups, which religion will they persecute tomorrow? One of the best points John Kennedy pointed out is to vote for a President based on their personal convictions, not based on their religion. But that takes research. My dad taught us how to research a politician. Back in the 1960’s we had politicians to look up to and use as a measuring stick to compare others. Bill Proxmire was one of those rare politicians. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Proxmire

Proxmire was one of those rare one of a kind politicians with ethics nearly beyond belief. Proxmire lived and mingled among the people he represented. He won elections by a landslide. His biggest campaign expense was to pay for stamps to send campaign contributions back to people. Proxmire was a rare breed in Washington always pointing out wasteful spending. Not just millions of dollar on huge projects, but instances where just a few thousand dollars was wasted. Proxmire was a guy who told it like it was and didn’t back down from anyone. Today Proxmire would be labeled a whistle blower. The people in Wisconsin considered Senator Proxmire a man doing the job he was sent to Washington to do. I grew up in Wisconsin being rather naive thinking we always had a group of politicians like Proxmire in Washington battling another group of crooked politicians from elsewhere in this country. But I was wrong. Proxmire was a rare breed. One of a kind.

We can take a look at what the 2020 political scene has to offer. A strong contender for the White House was an open communist, or socialist based on the particular policy. Communists are typically anti-religion, which suggest threats to rights guaranteed by the Constitution. Historically socialists restrict religions to state approved religions. The fact a number of US voters approved of socialism and communism during primary elections should be a real concern for all American voters. Bernie Sanders was brought up Jewish parents, but his interest in Hitler and the Nazi government he installed and how he was elected is not only strange, bazaar, but alarming. Since we should be learning from the words and advice of former Presidents, I cannot see how so many voters missed the messages about the religious persecution past Presidents had to face. We’ve gone through three Presidents who have sent troops overseas to protect people from religious persecution. It is rather shocking for so many voters to look at those sacrifices as unnecessary. Warnings repeated by those last three Presidents included the fact, “it may be one group today. Will it be you tomorrow?”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Sanders

https://berniesanders.com/

John Kennedy had his facts straight when he told voters to judge a candidate by their moral convictions. How are we supposed to determine a person’s conviction? Is it by the promises they make? We have seen too many lies from politicians to accept promises. We should be smarter than that. How do those promises align with their life style? Using Sanders as an example, we see a politician telling the public, “rich people will pay for your essentials.” Does that include his millions? Sanders also teaches us another important fact. We need to check out the facts and figures they discuss and post on their websites. Sanders proposed 11 trillion dollars worth of programs. A figure equal to the combined income of every taxpayer in 2018. A figure and fact the media was either too lazy to investigate, or knew about and wanted to hide from the public.

Joe Biden is a little tough to gauge on convictions. He is a Roman Catholic and practices his faith. https://kfax.com/articles/blogs/religion-today-blog/things-christians-should-know-about-the-faith-of-joe-biden

Joe Biden lost members of his family over the years and faced more than many of us will in a lifetime. As with most candidates, his voting record varies.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden

The fact Biden goes against religious convictions on some issues raises a red flag with some voters, but to other voters it tells them Biden is a man who thinks on his own and makes his own decisions.

The socialist factor with Biden should raise some red flags and call for caution. Joe Biden called his installation of a Democracy in Ukraine his greatest accomplishment. Biden actually experimented with a democratic-socialist government in Ukraine that was over thrown in 2014. Investigations into his son’s business activity in Ukraine are now on hold until after US elections. Time will tell what those investigations reveal.

Another key figure in the political arena today with a strong religious conviction is Nancy Pelosi. Based on the fact she refers to herself as the most powerful woman in America, and at times, the world, urges us to look at her moral convictions. We have to consult a number of sources when we look into Pelosi’s life.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Pelosi

https://atlanticmidwest.org/posts/how-nancy-pelosis-baltimore-catholic-roots-shaped-her

https://www.pewresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2012/11/113-congress-relig-affil.pdf

Pelosi, who had been walking away from the podium, exploded. She pointed a finger at Rosen and said, “I don’t hate anybody. I was raised in a Catholic house. We don’t hate anybody.”

Then she added, “And as a Catholic, I resent your using the word ‘hate’ in a sentence that addresses me. I pray for the president all the time. So don’t mess with me when it comes to words like that.”

https://www.miamiherald.com/opinion/op-ed/article238369468.html

When we compare basic Catholic values to Pelosi’s political views and career, we see two completely distant worlds. The focus being on Catholic views dealing with homosexuality, marriage, and abortion. Pelosi has chosen to cast away religious views on those subjects and take on, for lack of a better term, a completely radical view. To some this shift in moral conviction indicates a strength in a woman. One reporter compared that strength to a motherly figure. Although that reporter did no agree with Pelosi’s political views, he did appreciate her fierceness. The individual voter has to decide between that fierce attitude and her talk about moral convictions, religious guides, and actually performance. Do opposite poles indicate an imbalance in moral convictions, or an attitude that attracts votes.

Pelosi never liked President Trump and has had no problem making that fact public. “Donald Trump is not going to be President of the United States,” Pelosi said on the latest episode of Recode Decode, hosted by Kara Swisher. “Take it to the bank, I guarantee it.” She said that she is urging her Republican friends to “take back your party.” In response to the proposal that Trump uses social media better than other politicians, Pelosi blamed ratings-hungry media outlets for amplifying his visibility.

“Social media has democratized elections even further,” she added. “People hear things that may or may not be true, but nonetheless, the democratization of communication is good for a democracy.” https://www.vox.com/2016/5/16/11679242/nancy-pelosi-trump-guarantee-kara-swisher-podcast

Pelosi may be the best of the best when it comes to a politician, saying one thing, doing another, accusing a person of something, then taking that crime to a whole new level. On one hand she condemns Trump for using social media, blames the press, then turns around and takes social media and fake news to a whole new level to accomplish her goals. If nothing else, an examination of Pelosi’s life and morals shows a deep conviction of double standards. Perfectly acceptable to herself, but an unforgivable sin and the high crime of treason when used by anyone else. To understand Pelosi’s mindset and motivation, we have to look at her modern day concept of a democracy.

We can scan the internet, study 30 articles on the definition of a democracy and walk away with 30 conflicting concepts. This is a ploy used during the French Revolution when the conquering class executed the ruling aristocrats, installed a new government, and made reason their god.

https://www.history.com/topics/france/french-revolution

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult_of_Reason

The main point to learn from that revolution of reason is, the French rewrote their dictionary turning the definitions of a number of words upside down. A new form of political control was born. When people believe right is wrong, and evil used for the good of the people is acceptable, those people of course become confused with no where to turn for answers but their leaders. The moral convictions of people as a whole is destroyed. With no real moral compass to follow, the people put their trust in leaders who in essence have free reign to constantly contradict themselves while leaving the impression their questionable actions are somehow, someday, going to benefit the people they represent. Which is basically the definition of a democracy.

The French revolution set up the acceptance of an anarchy to achieve the perfect society. The belief that good will eventually spring from the bowels of total darkness was a political tool this world has learned to live with, accept, and sad to say, believe in. The world has learned to accept political figures whose actions never seem to reflect their words and promises. Voters all over the world have learned to sit, wait, and hope someday something good has to happen. And voters all over the world have learned to accept the fact, nothing will ever change. No matter what we do, we are at the mercy of the people we elected. And they are not who they say they are.

Today we can take the two terms, liberal and conservative. Both have lost their meaning because they are applied and misapplied at will. The two political parties in the US use the terms liberal and conservative at will to serve their purpose at the time. No one really knows what each of those words mean. People apply their own definitions and like politicians, often flip flop the definitions of those two words to suit the circumstances of the moment.

Democracy is a word that has been misapplied, reapplied, and for all intents and purposes, redefined in conflicting manners to confuse the average voter. Voters all over the world have accepted the fact politicians apply one meaning to a democracy, then apply a completely different definition when they formulate and vote on policies and laws. Politicians tell people a democracy defines freedom. Then they apply laws, restrictions, taxes, and policies to restrict and control basic freedoms. Within their private chambers a democracy takes on a completely different definition. Behind closed doors a democracy is a form of government where elected officials rule the voters. We see that belief rear its ugly head in the new, emergency stay at home laws and orders. For all intents and purposes, the world is under martial law. In the eyes of politicians, no one is able to protect themselves. Politicians actually believe they are the only people on earth able to examine the situation and make a decision. Governments on all levels treat people like children unable to protect themselves, or make a rational decision. Then politicians pass laws and set restrictions to protect the general public from the minority of people unable to follow directions, protect themselves, have any rational thought, and have no respect for others. In essence, politicians today are showing the world how easy it is for them to abuse their power and justify their abuse of power by actually thinking it will somehow turn out for the good of all people. Politicians have blurred the definition of a democracy by shifting it to a totalitarian government. Mixing the two for what they believe is the greater good of the people. To further their control, politicians have convinced themselves, the public does not understand. They convince themselves they need to seize total control because they are the only people alive who understand the situation, and they are the knight in shinning armor placed on the throne to save the kingdom. Today we can see what to expect when a democracy is defined as, the decision of those in control is final and punishment must be inflicted to get the point across. Today we see what a democracy is when unquestioned control is necessary to guarantee a safe and secure society.

The sum it up in my own terms, the modern definition of a democracy is when people are elected to determine the direction of society as a whole. The people are directed by those they elect. In traditional terms, a republic is when elected officials are still bound to the will of the people. In a republic, after elections, decisions and policies are still shaped by the people.

John Kennedy offered a unique vision of a republic. Faced with one major issue, segregation and the prejudice it comes with, Kennedy, the youngest President ever elected, was faced with a daunting task. Knowing prejudice and segregation sprang from the evolutionary theories conjured up in the late 1850’s President Kennedy knew he had to reeducate a vast number of Americans who used the evolutionary theories to fuel segregation. It may have been Kennedy’s religious background that fueled his desire to overcome the social issues his administration faced. Knowing evolution was a theory, Kennedy looked at how man made theories and concepts shaped opinions. Some called evolution a science. Although evolution did not fit the definition of science. Evolution could not be proven. There was no evidence, nor was there any way to conduct any scientific tests. So evolution was never anything more than an opinion. An opinion people used to justify segregation and a host of crimes against humanity and establish a double standard of freedom in America. Kennedy had no choice but to follow his convictions and the only solution to those issues. To dispel any belief in man made theories and rely on cold, hard facts. Education and science were the only weapons Kennedy had to fight with.

In a way, everything was in place for Kennedy to spark a new, progressive scientific revolution everyone could benefit from. Kennedy was a WWII war veteran. He was surrounded by a political atmosphere of WWII veterans who took the battles against inequality to the home front. Opposition was high, but a few footholds were gained. During and after WWII blacks as well as Asians, and other nationalities were still looked down upon. The main excuse was evolution. Many whites believed they were a superior race. Sure the US just defeated Hitler and his dreams to create a pure Aryan race to rule the world. But that mentality was still alive and thriving in the US. Another double standard of thinking widely accepted by you guessed it, those who benefited the most. Somehow Kennedy had to change the mindset of the average American white person. Education and science were the keys.

Equal education was the first step. Whites implemented separate but equal education out of fear and ignorance. Ignorance because evolution told them blacks will never advance as far as whites. Fear because one black man could disprove the entire evolutionary theory.

John Kennedy was in the right spot at the right time. He had to first get the American people to focus on science. An idea is a theory until proven. Then it becomes a fact. John Kennedy put all of his eggs in one basket by announcing a plan to send a man to the moon. At that time, a man on the moon was a concept, an unproven theory. Kennedy had infant computers and a host of scientists to work with. Rockets were in their early stages and to create and launch a rocket of the size required was at that time, basically unproven. A few satellites later and that stage was set. In the 1960’s a trip to the moon was on a rather fast pace. They also had to deal with the theory of weightlessness in space. Another theory science needed to prove. One after another science showed the world exactly how to prove a theory. Science fed into the equal rights movement as if God had a hand in taking the minimum and turning it into a world changing event.

On the political front President Kennedy had a vision of the perfect republic. A government founded on the idea of educated voters. To achieve that goal, the American public had to accept President Kennedy’s concept of continuing education and the concept that every living being has something to contribute. President Kennedy summed up his moral convictions in a few words.

Only an educated and informed people will be a free people. John F. Kennedy’s Remarks in Nashville at the 90th Anniversary Convocation of Vanderbilt University (18 May 1963).

And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.

My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man. John F. Kennedy’s Inaugural Address, January 20, 1961

https://www.ushistory.org/documents/ask-not.htm

Almost 40 years later people are still speculating on who shot President Kennedy. We may never ever know who was behind President Kennedy’s assassination, but we do know why he was assassinated. The concept of a total republic not lead by elected officials, but an educated and motivated society struck fear in the hearts of every crooked politician waiting for things to get back to their idea of normal so they could get back to making money the old fashion way – steal it.

President Kennedy used the moon trip to define science, establish the difference between fact and theory and give evolution a black eye. With that accomplished, his administration turned its attention on the two concepts of freedom closest to his heart. The reeducation of America was kindled. From the hearts and minds of educated Americans a new government structure was on the horizon. A government where every elected official not only depends on but thrives on input and ideas from the people who pay their salaries.

Based on the fact those concepts cost President Kennedy his life, we can see how far politicians will go to protect their interests. Interests that are threatened by well educated voters. I often wonder how John Kennedy’s concepts, ideals, and moral conviction would be accepted today. President Kennedy was lucky. He was President in a day and age of professional journalism was expected and demanded by the general public. Quite the opposite of today.

Update May 9th 2020

May 8th marked the 75th anniversary of VE day. Today most people have no idea what VE day is. VE stands for Victory in Europe and marked the end of WWII in Europe. President Trump held a few ceremonies to commemorate the day. They were not covered by any US media. A few European newspapers covered the event. But nothing in America. It is as if WWII never happened. Has fakes news infected the US media that badly? Has socialism gotten such a grip on the US that it is no longer politically correct to celebrate a day that draws attention to the fact the US fought a war against socialism. To socialism ignorance in bliss. A republic relies on education to survive.

Monday, February 19th, will be celebrated as Presidents’ Day. One of the recurring themes of most presidents of the United States is the absolute necessity of making sure our people are educated. They have varied opinions on how that is to be accomplished, but most have seemed to agree that a free society can only survive as a republic if the people maintain a program of general education. Can we not hear our first three presidents say this? “A primary object should be the education of our youth in the science of government. In a republic, what species of knowledge can be equally important? And what duty more pressing than communicating it to those who are to be the future guardians of the liberties of the country?” – George Washington “Educate and inform the whole mass of the people. Enable them to see that it is their interest to preserve peace and order, and they will preserve them. And it requires no very high degree of education to convince them of this. They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.” – Thomas Jefferson “Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people…. They have a right, an indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge — I mean, of the characters and conduct of their rulers.” – John Adams

https://nccs.net/blogs/articles/educate-and-inform-the-whole-mass-of-the-people

Parts of Europe have banned VE-DAY celebrations. America forgot VE-Day and Europe banned it. Has it become political incorrect to celebrate the end of a war when socialism got their asses kicked?

Today we can clearly see which politicians really believe they were elected to carry out the will of the people and which think they were elected to rule over people. View a few of Pelosi’s videos and you can tell her idea of the perfect government is an ant colony. There is one queen, guard ants, and worker ants. Today many consider an ant colony as the perfect example of a democracy.

Imagine what this country would be like today if President Kennedy was able to follow his mission in life, to create a country with well educated voters having their voices heard between elections. We still have that system. It is called town hall meetings. Elected officials travel from town to town to hear what people think. I’ve been going to those for years. I have see the attitudes of politicians change over the years. I also noticed something else. It is rare to see a young person in those meetings. And if you do see a young person, their questions and comments are normally along a socialist lines. And always based on some less than reputable website. That was not the vision President Kennedy had.

Kennedy’s narrow election victory and small working margin in Congress left him cautious. He was reluctant to lose southern support for legislation on many fronts by pushing too hard on civil rights legislation. Instead, he appointed unprecedented numbers of African Americans to high-level positions in the administration and strengthened the Civil Rights Commission. He spoke out in favor of school desegregation, praised a number of cities for integrating their schools, and put Vice President Lyndon Johnson in charge of the President’s Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity. Attorney General Robert Kennedy turned his attention to voting rights, initiating five times the number of suits brought during the previous administration. https://www.jfklibrary.org/learn/about-jfk/jfk-in-history/civil-rights-movement

On May 25, 1961, Kennedy addressed a joint session of Congress to announce his decision to go to the moon. He backed up this decision with remarkable financial commitments. In the immediate aftermath of his speech, NASA’s budget was increased by 89 percent, and by another 101 percent the following year. To carry out Apollo, NASA became the large engineering organization centered on developing capabilities for human space flight that it is today. https://www.nasa.gov/feature/john-f-kennedy-and-nasa

The Kennedys decided to submit civil rights legislation to Congress, and they began a series of meetings with congressional leaders to see what might have a chance of passing. After Birmingham, Jack realized that the “terrible problem” was “going to get worse and worse and had to be dealt with.”

Jack was also undoubtedly responding to a harsh public attack by Martin Luther King, who said that Kennedy had been as ineffective in civil rights as Eisenhower. Above all, King declared, the president should start talking about integration in moral terms, showing him capable of rising above politics.

Jack announced that he would soon be submitting far-reaching legislation to Congress that would integrate public accommodations, hasten school desegregation, and add protection for the right to vote.

Appeals were made to the Golden Rule. “In short, every American ought to have the right to be treated as he would wish to be treated, as one would wish his children be treated.”

https://www.ontheissues.org/Celeb/John_F__Kennedy_Education.htm

Americans have regarded education as the keystone of the American democratic

experience. Indeed, federal involvement in education pre-dates the Constitution. It was

explicitly encouraged by the Congress of the Confederation in the Survey Ordinance of

1785 and the Northwest Ordinance of 1787.

https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=5269&context=open_access_etds

In a Special Message to the Congress on Education, delivered on February 6, 1962, Kennedy laid out his argument that education in this country is the right—the necessity—and the responsibility—of all.

https://www.thoughtco.com/jfk-education-legacy-4140694

June 11, 1963, President John F. Kennedy gave a televised address to the American people and announced that he would be sending a civil rights bill to Congress. His bill would become the most-far reaching act of legislation supporting racial equality in American history. Beginning in the 1950s, African Americans had been engaged in peaceful demonstrations to protest segregation and discrimination, but had encountered violence and resistance. The turmoil through the South prompted the president to take action. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 outlawed racial segregation in public accommodations including hotels, restaurants, theaters, and stores, and made employment discrimination illegal. President Lyndon Johnson signed the bill on July 2, 1964. This exhibit summarizes some of the historical events that influenced the passage of this legislation. https://millercenter.org/the-presidency/educational-resources/the-civil-rights-act-of-1964

Kennedy focused in three major areas, education, the space program, and civil rights. This seems like a rather odd combination of interests. Although a man would not step food on the moon until 1969, we have to ask the question, did President Kennedy use the space program to advance civil rights?

We know the theory of evolution was looked upon as fact by those who needed an excuse to execute wide spread prejudice over the land. It was the only argument they had to stand on. On paper slavery had been abolished for nearly 100 years. https://www.archives.gov/historical-docs/13th-amendment

Strange as it may seem a man named Charles Darwin published his book on evolution only a few tears before Congress passed a law abolishing slavery. Darwin’s book gave slave owners what they needed, an excuse to act as masters over one section of mankind.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Origin_of_Species

Although nothing is specifically written on the subject, did President Kennedy have a plan to use the space program and the science behind it to teach America the difference between a theory and fact. When we look at what it took to send a man to the moon and safely return him, we can see how science had to prove one theory after another. Calculations to launch a rocket and capsule of that size was a theory until proven. Gravity on the moon was a theory until proven. There was no way to get the amount of fuel needed to leave earth’s atmosphere onto the moon. Scientists had to rely on theories to calculate the moon’s gravity and the amount of fuel required to lift off from the moon and propel that capsule back to earth. The trip to and from the moon was based on theories science had to prove as fact. Was President Kennedy planning on using the space program to show mankind the difference between theories and facts? It was going to take a miracle to change minds on civil rights. For a hundred years mankind had been using the theory of evolution as a crutch to limp trough their excuses for segregation. Although President Kennedy was the youngest President in the US, he had visions few people possessed. Sad to say, his visions were what killed him. What would have life been like of President Kennedy was able to achieve his dreams?

Wisconsin: The Governor Verses the Constitution.

Over this past week we have seen a lot happen in Wisconsin. We had to wait what felt like an eternity to hear the State Supreme Court decision on stay at home orders during this virus crisis. Within hours of the decision, Governor Tony Evers recorded a live phone interview with CNN. During his interview with CNN Evers was allowed to voice his opinion on a 161 page Supreme Court Decision. The majority of the claims Governor Evers made were completely contrary to the written decision released a few hours before the governor’s live interview.

Governor: “Overturning stay-at-home order puts Wisconsin ‘into chaos’”

Decision: ¶65 “Therefore, I conclude there is a legal basis upon which to consider the Legislature’s extraordinary request. I too am appreciative of the concerns raised by COVID-19 and the possibility of throwing the state into chaos. Accordingly, although our declaration of rights is effective immediately, I would stay future actions to enforce our decision until May 20, 2020.”

Governor: “Wisconsin Republican Legislature and those 4 Supreme Court Justices decided …”

Decision: Wisconsin Legislature, Petitioner

In its last act of judicial activism, the majority takes it upon

itself to immediately overturn Emergency Order 28, a remedy neither

party asked for.”

¶167 “Some would like to characterize this case as a battle

over the constitutional limits on executive power——can an

executive branch officer really shut down businesses, limit

travel, and forbid public gatherings? These are important

questions for sure, but they are not what this case is about. No

party has raised or developed such a claim. Some would also like

to frame this as a challenge to the government’s potential infringement of certain constitutional protections like the freedoms of religion, speech, and assembly, and the right to hunt and fish. But these issues are not before us either. No party

has raised or developed a claim along these lines. ”

¶254 “First, in what is a recurring theme, this argument was

not developed by any party. This is raised sua sponte by this

court without the benefit of adversarial briefing. We risk serious

error when we issue broad rulings based on legal rationales that

have not been tested through the crucible of adversarial

litigation. When accepting an original action, this danger is

even greater.”

https://www.wpr.org/sites/default/files/wi_legislature_v._andrea_palm_-_decision.pdf

Court records show the lawsuit was not filed by one party, or only by Republics on the State Legislature, but by both parties in a unified effort to ensure the security of the State Constitution they took an oath to defend. Evers wants people to believe this court case was a battle between Democrats and Republicans. Nothing could be further from the truth. Judge ROGGENSACK went out of his way to prove this decision was not a political move or one party attacking another. Evers wants people to believe every Democrat in Wisconsin supported his move to place the Constitution on hold, completely ignore it, and the Constitution needs to be modified. That is not the opinion of the Supreme Court nor the Legislature made up of Democrats and Republicans. As a whole the majority of the judges in the Wisconsin Supreme Court as well as the State Legislature agree, one man should never stand above the State Constitution establishing checks and balances to protect the rights of all Wisconsin citizens. Evers claims 69% of Wisconsin supported his decision to seize total control and pass that control onto those of his choosing.

Governor: “Today absolutely Republican Legislatures and those four Supreme Court justices decided that facts don’t matter, statues don’t matter, and frankly it puts our state into chaos. There are no regulations out there. Period.”

Reporter: “Does this mean all businesses in your state can open tomorrow or right away?”

Governor: “Yes. The Tavern league of Wisconsin sent a message to all the people in their organization saying you can open now. And that’s happening all across Wisconsin as we speak. So this is the wild west now.”

https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2020/05/14/governor-tony-evers-wisconsin-supreme-court-strikes-down-stay-at-home-ctn-vpx.cnn

This clearly indicates, the governor did not read the court decision. Evers’ statement shows, his moves are 100% politically motivated. It also shows Evers has zero concern for the people he was elected to serve. By implying the Tavern League now sets the laws and standards in Wisconsin, Evers single handedly created a state of chaos. Which of course was his intent.

As governor, Evers is sworn to uphold the laws of Wisconsin. He had the opportunity to educate the public on the court decision but instead chose to turn the decision into a political battle, drive a wedge between democrats and republicans not only on the political field but throughout the state, and imply the court decision opened the door for any organization or individual to interpret the law they see fit. To imply one court decision removed all laws from Wisconsin is dangerous and naive statement beneath the dignity of any elected official in any capacity. What did motivate Evers to make such a statement?

After reading the court decision no one can argue the fact, this was a case of one person challenging the state constitution in what everyone agrees a national crisis.

¶69 “Endowing one person with the sole power to create,

execute, and enforce the law contravenes the structural separation

of powers established by the people. Through the Wisconsin

Constitution, the people confer distinct powers on the

legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government.

“Three clauses of the Wisconsin Constitution embody this

separation: Article IV, Section 1”

What was Evers’ motive to change the State Supreme Court decision centered on the State Constitution into a political battle between parties? The detail that should come to every educated voter mind is the fact Tony Evers was in charge of the state education system since 2001.

After working as a schoolteacher for several years, he became a school administrator, serving as a principal and, later, district superintendent. Evers first ran for Superintendent of Public Instruction in 1993 and again in 2001, losing both elections. Evers was instead appointed deputy superintendent, a position he served in from 2001 to 2009. In 2009, he ran for Superintendent of Public Instruction again, this time winning. He was reelected twice, in 2013 and 2017.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Evers

There is no better expert on the Wisconsin school system than Tony Evers. Before making that phone call to CNN, Evers had to decide to gamble on the presumption that no one would read the actually court decision. Having a clear insight to the Wisconsin educational system, Evers felt secure enough to do a live interview, present his view of the facts knowing CNN would never question nor research his claims, and few if any individuals in Wisconsin would fact check his claims. Evers also banked on the idea that voters supporting his party would accept a pack of lies because it damages the reputation of the opposing party. Voters supporting Evers would accept statements aimed at damaging the reputation of Republicans without checking the actual facts. Evers comments achieved their goal. News agencies all over the country chose to air Evers comments, presenting them as facts without ever reading the actual court decision. Here is one random example of the fake news Evers sparked.

Wisconsin Is a Warning

On Wednesday night, the state’s highest court issued a hyperpartisan ruling that endangers thousands of lives.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court invalidated the state’s stay-at-home order on Wednesday in a 4–3 decision that condemned the public health measure as a grave assault on citizens’ constitutional rights. Two justices compared the order, which closed nonessential businesses and limited large gatherings of people, to the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. Even though the plaintiffs and defendants agreed the court should put its ruling on hold, the majority of justices refused to do so, instead implementing the decision immediately. As a result, Wisconsinites flocked to reopened bars Wednesday night during a pandemic, in a state that is nowhere close to flattening the curve.

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/05/wisconsin-supreme-court-strikes-down-stay-at-home-order.html

Like the governor, the media neglects to cover news in an unbiased fashion or provide a link for readers to further research the reasoning behind comments and the decision as a whole.

Decision: “We mention cases like Korematsu in order to test the limits of

government authority, to remind the state that urging courts to

approve the exercise of extraordinary power during times of

emergency may lead to extraordinary abuses of its citizens.”

Meanwhile, Kelly’s concurrence displayed a remarkable lack of humility for a judge who was just soundly rejected by the people he serves. He proposed new, far-reaching limitations on the executive branch’s authority, carrying forward the Legislature’s crusade to strip the Democratic governor of his powers. Oddly enough, both Kelly and Bradley rooted their theories in the Wisconsin Constitution—but they repeatedly cited three opinions involving the federal Constitution: U.S. Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch’s dissent in Gundy v. U.S., Justice Antonin Scalia’s dissent in Morrison v. Olson, and Justice Clarence Thomas’ concurrence in Department of Transportation v. Association of American Railroads. None of these opinions actually carries legal weight. Yet it appears that Kelly and Bradley will transform them into Wisconsin law if they get the opportunity.”

That news story did provide a number of links to back up its story. The majority of links supplied take the reader to other biased articles written by the same news agency and other news agencies with articles that agree with their false statements. In other words, their reporting is biased and as any reader with an open mind can tell, is dedicated to changing state constitutions and our federal Constitution. Why do media outlets and a small minority of politicians want to change the Constitution? And why does the media go out of its way to hide any logical conversations about the Constitution from the public and throw up smoke screens to redirect public attention to senseless battles over just about every word in the Constitution?

So far we have a debate over rights preserved in the state constitution redirected into a political battle. And we have a governor with nearly 2 decades of experience in the state education system. Add to that certain media outlets who neglect to check the facts he presented. The first detail we need to consider is, what kind of educator in their right mind would teach a generation to accept opinions without gathering and examining facts? Socialist do. Communists rely on that type of thinking.

Is there a link between Governor Evers comments on the Supreme Court decision, the failing education system, and the democratic-socialist movement across the US? There is another leading indicator to consider. Every socialist movement relies in two main details, the ability to control people and taking away their ability to defend themselves. How does Governor Evers stand in gun control?

Democratic Gov. Tony Evers says Republican legislative leaders who oppose gun control bills that polls show enjoy broad public support are essentially telling the public to “go to hell.”

Evers made the comment Monday after calling the Republican-controlled Legislature into a special session — which will take place Nov. 7 — to take up a pair of gun control measures that GOP leaders have been unwilling to debate.

https://www.wpr.org/gov-tony-evers-calls-special-session-gun-control

The governor had called on lawmakers to take up an expansion of background checks and a so-called “red flag” law, which would allow gun rights to be temporarily revoked from individuals who are deemed by a court to be potentially harmful to themselves or others.

Republicans have argued the bills violate Second Amendment and due process rights. They declined to advance other gun-related proposals during the special session as well, though Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, argued the Assembly’s work on suicide prevention and attempted veto overrides related to mental health funding would address the root cause of gun violence.

The governor has cited strong public support for both expanding background checks and the red-flag proposal. According to recent polls from Marquette University Law School, both measures have at least 80 percent approval from Wisconsin residents.

https://www.wpr.org/gov-tony-evers-may-call-another-special-session-state-gun-laws

To examine this piece of evidence, we need to consider a few facts. What was Evers’ motive in introducing those bills. I think the majority of people agree on back ground checks and the fact we need to get guns out of the hands of individuals who pose a threat to themselves and others. Wisconsin along with most other states have laws on the books that do just that. Legislatures told Evers his laws would be a violation of Constitutional rights. Another example of Evers attempting to under mind the Constitution.

Some accuse Republicans of catering to voters. Let’s check out the facts on that accusation. Wisconsin does have a bunch of hunters. Are they enough to sway a vote?

A blogger added up the deer license sales in just a handful of states and arrived at a striking conclusion:

There were over 600,000 hunters this season in the state of Wisconsin …. Allow me to restate that number: 600,000!

http://www.onwisconsinoutdoors.com/DeerHunting/AMERICAS-HUNTERS–Pretty-Amazing

The State of Wisconsin had 3,397,693 active registered voters on May 1, 2020.

https://elections.wi.gov/node/6886

Hunters account for less than 20% of general voters. Hardly a number to be concerned about at the polls. So we would have to accept the fact, the Republican majority in the Senate along with the majority of Democrats in the state legislature do not agree with Governor Evers’ quest to change the State Constitution. Not for far reaching gun laws going beyond laws already on the books. The legislature does not agree with changing the Constitution to open the doors for the confiscation of guns by any agency the governor decides to name in the future. We’ve seen that fail with the COVID orders. We can thank the Wisconsin legislative branch for putting a stop to that type of power grab in other areas.

After the court decision was released, mayors and county executives threatened to impose stricter restrictions in their cities and counties. Did you see what just happened? State gun control laws allow cities and counties to pass their own local laws. Every business in Wisconsin has the right to ban guns on their property. State law contains a list of properties where firearms are not allowed. Cities and counties have forearm ordinances on the books. If they wanted a total ban on guns, or certain types of guns, they have the right to pass ordinances in their cities and counties. Why do they refuse to pass local ordinances on guns, but want the state to pass state laws and the federal government to pass federal laws enforced throughout the country? If you have a problem in your backyard, handle it. But don’t make my problem your problem.

That was the problem we saw with the COVID laws. The entire state was made to suffer equally. If one city has people who refused to follow orders, stricter orders were put in effect for the entire state. And now we have cities and counties saying they will address local problems. In some areas that may be a good idea. I would suggest caution. If the State Supreme Court just told us those orders were unconstitutional, what good is it going to do when mayors and county executives begin passing local ordinances that are unconstitutional? The Supreme court already warned the door is open for companies and individuals to sue the state for damages. In the long run, lawmakers could cost taxpayers billions of dollars. Which would be nothing new. If you did a little research it would not take long to uncover one example after another of special interest groups demanding special treatment for one group or another. Shortly after a law is passed and certain groups receive special assistance based on sex, creed, color, or nationality, the same group that demanded that special treatment rushes in with a host of lawsuits representing groups who claim discrimination. Actions like that cost taxpayers billions of dollars. Much of that money is funneled into political campaigns promising programs for every minority under the sun. People are elected. New laws favoring one group above all others is passed. Lawsuits are filed and the wheels keep turning, driving the average taxpayer into the ground. This has to stop. This will continue until the average American voter takes on the responsibility of becoming an informed voter. Do not allow the media to deceive you.

Peloci on Healthcare

Pelosi herself tells us how out of touch she is as the unchallenged Democratic leader. She talks about lowering the cost of prescription drugs. Sounds good. But that is not even the surface of the problem. The problem is not the $20 to $100 prescription drugs, the real problem is the $20,000 to $150,000 tests that are conducted before doctors can administer those $20 drugs. I find it rather insulting to see a Democratic leader my age take advantage of this younger generation all because she hates the sitting President and will stop at nothing to take him down at any cost.

 

America still has millions of voters who remember the old healthcare system and doctors who were free from politics to use their skills. In the old days a 10 minute visit with the doctor was all most cases required. The doctor took a few vital signs, asked a few questions, took out his prescription pad and wrote the prescription. Simple. But today with a government run healthcare system there are more rules, regulations, laws, and procedures than there are patients, diseases, cures, and drugs combined. For what? To create jobs and management positions for family members and friends of members of Congress who voted for Obamacare.

Let me share the experience I just had to endure with Obamacare. It used to be a call to my insurance agent, answer a few questions, and get a list of options for healthcare insurance. Now we use a website. Sounds simple. That snowballs into phone calls with eight different government agencies around the country to answer questions. I am self employed like millions of Americans my age. The government wants to know my income for 2020. To get insured I have to be able to predict the future. Each of those agencies collects one little piece of information, Those agencies have no idea the other agencies exist or what data they are collecting. In short, the government needs 8 agencies to do the job of 1 insurance agent. Does that sound about right?

After a string of phone calls and visits to the website, I finally talked to someone who knew what they were doing. My guess is, if they put him in charge of the system, that one person could cut medical costs by 25% in the matter of a few weeks. But Pelosi has no plan to cut medical costs anywhere beyond the cost of drugs.

My guess is Pelosi will introduce more restrictions and laws on the already stressed medical field and increase costs even more. While she talks about cutting costs, take a look in the mirror and she will see the cause of those high costs.

In the long run, Obama put total control of the healthcare systems in the hands of one insurance company who collects all the money and decides how to split the pot after taking out an enormous service fee. Service and administrations fees are charged as every dollar makes its way down the ladder. Healthcare costs rose an amazing 4000% months after Obama made healthcare a national law. Talk to doctors and nurses. None of them received substantial raises. The increased cost are all administration costs what will never cure or help a single person.

Fixing this system will require a lot of work. The work has to be done by an outside source with the skills to run a business and cut costs. The people in charge today are not qualified to run a hot dog stand much less a trillion dollar industry. The thing is, a lot of friends and family members related to our representatives will loose their jobs. That is why we CANNOT trust government to clean up this healthcare system.

What Didn’t Make the News on the Impeachment

On January of 2019 President Trump signed into law a Bill that placed the responsibility of withholding Federal funds from countries involved in human trafficking directly on the President’s shoulders. President Trump personally took on the responsibility of ending human trafficking and passed that responsibility down to every President to follow. That Bill passed the House and Senate with a unanimous vote in December of 2018. Every Republican and Democrat should have known it is the President’s responsibility to cross check, reference, and withhold funds from countries that do not comply with federal standards and laws against human trafficking.

https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-bill/1862

Knowing this law was in effect for nearly 1 year, Democrats accused the President of withholding funds from Ukraine based on personal interest. If looking after the rights, safety, and welfare of the poor and defenseless throughout the world is considered a personal interest of the President, I fail to see how that is an impeachable offense. The fact of the matter is, Ukraine is without rivals in the human trafficking industry.

Ukraine and Human Trafficking

You’ll notice that major news agencies have been ignoring the issue. Why would they cover news about men, women, and children being exploited all over the world, especially in Ukraine? Such news would taken precious time away from coverage of the Super Bowl and the untimely death of Kobe Bryant. But the news media did take time to provide a brief report on President Trump’s continuing war against human trafficking.

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday to combat human trafficking and online child exploitation in the administration’s latest effort to curb the practices.

The order creates a new position within the domestic policy council that will be “solely devoted to combat human trafficking.”

The position has not yet been filled but an administration official told reporters prior to the event that there is “no doubt that we will pick someone very good for the position.”

“We’ve got a lot of interest in it with a lot of different areas of expertise. But we’re not prepared to announce a name right now,” the official said.

The effort has been spearheaded in large part by Ivanka Trump, the President’s daughter and top adviser, who has made human trafficking one of her initiatives.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/31/politics/donald-trump-combat-human-trafficking/index.html

It seems this impeachment trail is not about breaking any law. Evidence introduced throughout the impeachment hearing has already proved that point. On the contrary, if President Trump had not withheld those funds and looked into Ukraine’s efforts to comply with anti-trafficking standards, he would have been guilty of breaking a law. One of the laws his administration introduced.

USA-eVote Editorial Attachment:

Here at USA-eVote we are dedicated to bringing unbiased reports and stories for the sole purpose of encouraging American voters to cast an educated vote. USA-eVote was born out of the idea and concept of navigating through the fake news infiltrating the US election process and the biased stand many of the major news syndicates have taken during the 2016 election. This report serves one major purpose. The vast majority of American voters have access to the Internet. But few dig below the surface to uncover important facts that should influence their decision. Instead, the majority of American voters are easily swayed by biased and often times, false and misleading news reports. This poses a major threat to our nation as a whole and the freedom every American generation has fought and died for. Those sacrifices should not be forgotten.

USA-eVote has posted numerous articles about those sacrifices in an effort to educate the American public and rededicate the American voter to the standard of patriotism and honor fake news agencies and biased reporting has been eroding over the past five years.

USA-eVote is totally independent. We do not receive or solicit any funds or grants. This article serves as an example showing how the average American voter can uncover information crucial to an informed and educated vote. Your vote is the most powerful weapon in the world. Your vote can and will determine the next leader of the free world and determine the future of this country as well as secure the freedom that has been paid for with the loss of countless lives over the past 245 years.

Every American voter has not only the right to vote, but the responsibility of casting an educated vote.

Ukraine, Human Trafficking, and the Impeachment

 

The question is, did President Trump have a good reason to withhold funds from Ukraine? We have not heard the other side of that story. The media has been slow to report the Presidents side of the story and less than stellar in reporting testimonies and arguments from President Trump’s legal team. Well USA-eVote has uncovered a few facts about that case and those charges that should shock and alarm the American public and put an end to all this BS that has been floating around and in this case, subjectively reported to the American public. Let’s take a look at the actual facts. Then you as an American voter can make an informed decision and take the necessary action.

So far we have only heard one side of the argument. That one sided reporting tells us, President Trump withheld funds from Ukraine in an attempt to force an investigation into Joe Biden’s son in the Ukraine. That could not be further from the truth. Hunter Biden’s dealings in Ukraine are public record and President Trump doesn’t need any help from any source foreign or domestic. Democrats conjured up that story to force their concept of illegal activity in the President’s office. Which of course is not an impeachable offense. But the facts go much deeper. There is a host of information not reported by the leading news agencies playing their games on Television and social media. It is all a numbers game aimed at increasing revenue. The truth does not sell.

While investigating the facts one piece of reality hit home at USA-eVote. Take a look at the major news agencies online. What do you see? A request to buy a subscription so you can read all of their news. News agencies are trying to sell subscriptions. On the other side of that coin we have fake news sites. Fake news agencies make money from ads. Many of the ads on the fake news sites contain viruses and spyware, including versions of ransom viruses. What kind of world do we live in? USA-eVote has learned to use official government sites to gather information. Look for the .gov at the end of the website address.

Here are two articles that every American should find interesting and shocking. The first is about President Trump’s passionate battle against human slavery, human trafficking, and the sex trade.

COMMITTED TO ERADICATING HUMAN TRAFFICKING: President Trump has signed four bills in recent weeks that demonstrate the bipartisan commitment to end human trafficking.

 

Today, the President is signing the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (S. 1862) which tightens criteria for whether countries are meeting standards for eliminating trafficking.

The President signed the Abolish Human Trafficking Act in December, which strengthens programs supporting survivors and resources for combating modern slavery.

President Trump signed the Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act, authorizing $430 million to fight sex and labor trafficking.

The President signed the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (S. 1312), establishing new prevention, prosecution, and collaboration initiative to bring human traffickers to justice.

In addition to these efforts, Congress needs to pass legislation that strengthens border security and prevents human trafficking in all forms.

How is this related to funds given to Ukraine? Let’s take a look at Ukraine’s recent history.

Ukraine is a source, transit, and destination country for men, women, and children trafficked transnationally for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation and forced labor. Ukrainian women are trafficked to Russia, Poland, Turkey, China, the Czech Republic, the United Arab Emirates, Austria, Italy, Portugal, Germany, Greece, Israel, Spain, Lebanon, Hungary, Slovak Republic, Cyprus, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Serbia, Argentina, Norway, Iran, Bahrain and The United States. The majority of Ukrainian labor trafficking victims were men exploited in Russia, the Czech Republic and Poland, primarily forced to work as construction laborers, sailors, and factory and agriculture workers. There are indications Ukraine is a destination for people from neighboring countries trafficked for forced labor and sexual exploitation. In addition, trafficking occurs within Ukraine; men and women are trafficked within the country for the purposes of labor exploitation in the agriculture and service sectors, commercial sexual exploitation, and forced begging. Ukrainian children are trafficked both internally and transnationally for commercial sexual exploitation, forced begging, and involuntary servitude in the agriculture industry. An IOM survey released in December 2006 concluded that since 1991, approximately 117,000 Ukrainians had been forced into exploitative situations in Europe, the Middle East, and Russia. In 2008 the Government of Ukraine did not fully comply with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking; however, it was making significant efforts to do so. While there was little evidence of efforts to curb trafficking complicity of government officials and of concrete steps to protect and assist trafficking victims at the national level, local governments made some progress on victim assistance. The government also made modest, but tangible, progress in improving the punishment of convicted traffickers, prosecuting labor trafficking, training the judiciary, and carrying out prevention activities.[1] U.S. State Department’s Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons placed the country in “Tier 2” in 2017.[2]

Put 2 and 2 together and what do you see? Wouldn’t President Trump have broken the law he endorsed and signed by giving funds to a country known for human trafficking? Ask yourself, did President Trump have reason to place a hold on funds the House of Representatives designated to Ukraine? Was President Trump looking after his own interests, or the interests of human slaves with no rights? When you put the facts together, you walk away with quite a different story than the stories we are spoon fed in both the impeachment testimonies and from the general new media.

The actual bills to eliminate human trafficking:

This bill modifies the criteria for evaluating whether countries are meeting the minimum standards for combating human trafficking.

The President shall ensure that federal agencies limit grants and contracts to entities that do not engage in various activities related to human trafficking. Under the bill, one prohibited activity is charging employees for placement or recruitment fees. Previously, entities could charge such fees as long as they were reasonable.

https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-bill/1862

This bill sets forth a variety of measures to address the prevention and punishment of human trafficking and to assist trafficking victims. Included among these are provisions concerning:

restitution for victims;

funding of investigations of offenses relating to sexual abuse of children;

grants to states and localities and other entities for victim service assistance;

training of health, victim service, and federal law enforcement personnel, including through the use of a victim screening protocol by the Department of Homeland Security;

penalties imposed for slavery offenses, sex trafficking of children, and repeat convictions for transportation for illegal sexual activity and related crimes;

travel for the purpose of engaging in any illicit sexual conduct;

designation of additional Department of Justice resources for prosecution and service coordination;

penalties for offenses involving organized human trafficking, sexual abuse, sexual exploitation, or transportation for prostitution or any illegal sexual activity; and

studies of the physical and psychological effects of serious harm to victims.

https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-bill/1311

 

This bill establishes programs to combat human trafficking, forced labor, and the use of child soldiers. It also modifies existing programs to address such issues.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) may award grants to local educational agencies to educate school staff on how to recognize and respond to signs of labor and sex trafficking, and to educate students on how to avoid becoming trafficking victims.

The Department of State shall ensure that each diplomatic or consular post has a designated employee to receive information from severe trafficking victims or information about such victims. The information shall be transmitted to the relevant agencies, and the designated employee shall coordinate with foreign government and groups to provide support to the victims.

Domestic air carriers that contract to provide air transportation to the federal government shall report annually various information related to human trafficking. Such information shall include the number of carrier personnel that are trained in detecting and reporting potential trafficking, and the number of notifications of potential human trafficking victims the carrier has received.

The bill directs various government agencies, including the State Department and the Department of Labor, to annually report to the General Services Administration information related to efforts to ensure compliance with various laws and regulations relating to human trafficking. The report shall also contain information on investigations into contractors that may have violated such laws and regulations.

https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/2200

TITLE I–FREDERICK DOUGLASS TRAFFICKING PREVENTION ACT OF 2017

(Sec. 101) This bill amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to specify that Community Oriented Policing Services program grants to hire school resource officers may also be used to train such officers to recognize and respond to signs of human trafficking.

(Sec. 102) It amends the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 to reauthorize through FY2022 the Creating Hope Through Outreach, Options, Services, and Education for Children and Youth (i.e., CHOOSE Children & Youth) grant program.

 

TITLE II–JUSTICE FOR TRAFFICKING VICTIMS

(Sec. 201) The bill amends the federal criminal code to authorize the Department of Justice (DOJ) to bring a civil action to stop or prevent criminal offenses related to: (1) peonage, slavery, involuntary servitude, forced labor, and trafficking; (2) sexual exploitation and other abuse of children; or (3) sexual abuse.

https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-bill/1312

Based on documented facts, President Trump has been actively combating human trafficking since 2017. Of course those bills have been introduced, written, and modified since Trump took office.

Thus far USA-eVote has only cracked an egg to see what is inside. This brings up a number of questions.

What was the timing in relationship to the bill introduced to Congress and funds being withheld from Ukraine?

What is the make up of the Democratic-Socialist government in Ukraine?

What was Biden’s role and influence in forging a Democratic-Socialist government in Ukraine?

Is there a link between Hunter Biden’s job in Ukraine and human trafficking?

What makes President Trump so passionate about fighting human trafficking?

As time allows, we will look into those questions. Feel free to post information you uncover.

History Forgotten:

Iran Still a Threat

The problem with news today is, it is not only biased, but fails to put together the complete timeline of facts so the average reader can reach their own educated conclusion. Each event in history is made up of a series of events leading to an action or reaction. What is happening in Iran today has been building for years. We could go back to the 16th century and even the 6th century to see the entire picture. But here USA-eVote will only look back a few years to see what led to today’s headlines.

Update:

Head shot of Trump smiling in front of the U.S. flag. He is wearing a dark blue suit jacket, white shirt, light blue necktie, and American flag lapel pin.President Trump ordered the execution of top Iranian leader Qasem Soleimani after attacks on military posts in Iraq. It was a surgical strike carried out by a drone. This latest news brings out a few questions. Who was Qasem Soleimani? Why did President Trump order the attack? Part of the reason links to the attack on the American Embassy in Iraq where Iranian backed supporters stormed the embassy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVRnbbzb5LQ

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/analysis-us-embassy-baghdad-assaulted-years-eve/story?id=68008734

Tehran shot down a U.S. military surveillance drone and seized oil tankers. The U.S. also blames Iran for a series of attacks targeting tankers, as well as a September assault on Saudi Arabia’s oil industry that temporarily halved its production.

The breach at the embassy followed U.S. airstrikes Sunday that killed 25 fighters of the Iran-backed militia in Iraq, the Kataeb Hezbollah. The U.S. military said the strikes were in retaliation for last week’s killing of an American contractor in a rocket attack on an Iraqi military base that the U.S. blamed on the militia.

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/4-killed-in-rocket-attack-on-baghdads-airport-2020-01-02

It appears tensions between Iran and the US have been escalating since President Trump pulled out of nuclear talks with Iran in 2016. Reports on the compliance of that treaty have two sides. Some say Iran has been complying with the treaty. Others say the treaty falls short. And others insist Iran has not complied and never intended to comply.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_withdrawal_from_the_Joint_Comprehensive_Plan_of_Action

https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2019/09/09/2020-democrats-should-support-trump-on-iran-nuclear-deal-olumn/2213275001/

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-mideast-iran-usa/trump-says-iran-playing-with-fire-with-uranium-enrichment-idUSKCN1TW1ML

In the middle of the nuclear arms deal was the transfer of billions of dollars to Iran. Some think that was nothing more than a bribe. Others think those payments were more or less ransom paid to Iran. And others think that money paid by the Obama administration was a revelation showing close ties between former President Obama and Muslim states.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2018/06/06/iran-nuclear-deal-obama-team-iran-senate-republicans/677506002/

https://www.cnbc.com/2016/09/07/us-sent-13-billion-more-in-cash-to-iran-to-settle-arms-dispute-report.html

Following is the actual transcript from a Senate hearing on the matter. Here is a direct link to the government website.

https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CHRG-114shrg23439/html/CHRG-114shrg23439.htm

After reviewing those reports and the government transcript, there is no doubt funds passed between the US and Iran. Why? Excuses were offered. The fact of the matter is, Iran has been and continues to be a threat not only to the US, but to the world. Democrats in the US insist those payments were owed to Iran. Why did the US give a known enemy billions of dollars? Do you think the US would have paid Germany or Japan funds during WWII? No way. There would have never been an excuse to supply the enemy with funds during WWII or the time leading up to US involvement in WWII. Any transfer of funds would have been viewed as treason. No questions asked. There could never have been any excuse in the world to supply Germany or Japan with funds before or during WWII.

Why would the US make payments to Iran when dozens of other countries still owe the US money as far back as WWII and nothing has been done about collecting those funds? Countries owe the US billions of dollars. The US does nothing about collecting those funds. But the US insisted it was following some obscure world law and had to pay that money to Iran. That must be a really obscure law if it only applies to American enemies, but not their allies. I wish someone could explain that one. When we look back on history and apply the trends we seen in this scenario with Iran, what would have happened in WWII if we had today’s Democrats making decisions and deals in 1942? Would today’s Democrats have given Hitler the key to the atomic bomb before using that weapon against Japan? Would today’s Democrats have tried to payoff Hitler, or answered Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor by paying tribute to the Emperor of Japan? Based on the deals made with Iran, we have to ask those questions.

It seems Democrats couldn’t wait to condemn President Trump’s actions against Iran. It seems Democrats either chose to ignore history, or have never learned from history. We still have a generation in this land that remembers stories about WWII. One of the topics often discussed was the fact, if someone could kill Hitler, the war in Germany would have reached an early end. Millions of lives could have been saved. During WWII it seems every American and ally knew, if they could cut off the head, the snake would die. People knew, Germans as a whole did not support the war nor Hitler’s ideals. The world didn’t judge Germans as a whole thinking every German was set on world domination. People knew it was a concept of one crazy man who had influence over Germany for a time, but lost that control over time when his real plans were revealed. Today Democrats seem to think every Iranian has the same mind set and share the same motivation as Qasem Soleimani. Let me remind you. There is much more to this story than meets the eye. President Trump made that decision while on vacation at his golf course. May I point out, President Trump was vacationing at his own golf course. It was not a vacation paid for by some special interest group. When an unprecedented 17 billion dollars is transferred to a major enemy, questions have to be raised.

Democrats now want the US to believe every citizen in Iran thinks like Qasem Soleimani and we will have this problem forever. Germany learned a lesson from WWII. Japan learned a lesson from WWII. It seems today’s Democrats missed that lesson. As a whole, citizens all around the world want peace. When the mask comes off socialists, the majority of people do not agree with socialists motives or methods. So what is the Democratic plan? My dad always said, “don’t complain unless you have a better idea.” What is the Democratic plan? Give Iran more funds? Lift sanctions? What are their plans? Do they have any plan or are they back to playing politics? Here is a look at Democratic reactions.

https://time.com/5758264/qasem-soleimani-2020-democrat-reaction/

Cutting off the head may or may not have worked. The fact of the matter is, President Trump gathered enough information on the situation to make an educated decision. In contrast, Democrats condemned the action and at the same time demanded Trump share the facts that lead to his decisions. Is that what politics has become today? Run off at the mouth by condemning of all people, the President of the US, and in the next sentence admit, you don’t know a damn thing about the situation at hand. People making such foolish statements should not be running for office in any capacity.

We also need to look at the part Qasem Soleimani has played in history.

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2013/09/30/the-shadow-commander

https://www.npr.org/2020/01/03/793289176/how-is-the-world-reacting-to-the-u-s-assassination-of-irans-qassem-soleimani

We can see how Qasem Soleimani has been involved in plans to overturn a number of governments in the Middle East. Iran has been trying to invade and take over Iraq, Syria, and other countries. Looking at WWII, the US was criticized for delaying any military involvement in Europe and the East. That was a lesson we all should have learned. If we allow militants to walk over one country after another, the task of stopping them becomes more and more difficult as time marches on. Militants will not stop. They will not negotiate. They will enter into treaties to buy time, and break them when convenient. History shows how the world has tried to deal with militants of all types. We should have learned by now what works, and what will fail.

Iran Talks Vienna 14 July 2015 (19067069963).jpgThat nuclear treaty with Iran shows a number of countries were involved in that agreement. Has any other country tried to step up to defuse the situation? This appears to be another case where the US stands alone. Everything was left up to the US. The US had to do all the checks, write all the reports and pay for everything. But as soon as the US reacted, the criticism pours in as usual. We have one thing going for us. We have a President who takes full responsibility for his actions. And has initiated a back up plan alerting US troops all over the world. Shortly after the holiday season, US troops are once again on alert. Once again Muslim militants used an important date to launch an attack. This time they had to pay a decisive price. Our President and military need your prayers and support.

USA-eVote on the 2019 Impeachment

It has always been USA-eVote’s policy to remain neutral on all issues by reporting the facts in an unbiased matter, and letting the individual voter make an educated decision.

Nearly everyone has to admit, it is nearly impossible to remain neutral and unbiased on the Impeachment of President Trump. It seems most individuals and the majority of news media outlets have approached this issue with a decision and verdict set in their minds and all discussions concentrate on one thing, convincing the general public their far sighted decision is true and factual.

After reviewing something in the neighborhood of 300 news reports and other information on the Internet, USA-eVote has been able to unravel the following facts, and more or less, raised the following questions.

It is important to note, we, as well as you, have to learn to screen information. Many factions are hitting the Internet with fake websites featuring fake news. Those sites can be identified by their advertising. Much of their paid ads involve outlandish, hardly believable stories on famous people such as movie stars. Their disguised ads also include sensationalized stories on various subjects, attempting to lure visitors to click those links which are indeed ads, and often contain computer viruses and spyware. USA-eVote advises its readers to avoid such websites.

After reviewing all the major news media websites, it is shocking to see only one site appears neutral and unbiased. That would be the BBC. It is not only strange, but shocking to see, not one American news site capable of remaining unbiased on this, and every issue effecting this nation at this time. What they want to accomplish is speculation at this time, but it goes without saying, it will be too late to do anything when they reveal their true motives.

Although American news is slanted, information does reach the Internet that is useful in reaching an actual educated decision. The thing is, it takes much longer to dig into the information on your own and do the job an unbiased reporter used to do as well as hang their reputation on. We have also seen a number of stories about major news personal leaving one company for, “undisclosed reasons.” There is a reason why we have seen personal changes spike during the Impeachment proceedings.

To get to the root of the issue, we have to review a number of speeches from both sides of the house. At this point we can say without a doubt, both Democrats and Republicans are unified on their stand on the issue. Which should raise a red flag to every educated voter in the US. When concepts and evidence are viewed under the microscope of party loyalty, nothing but faults will be magnified and exposed. Evidence will also be covered up, and justice can never be fully served. When decisions are made strictly along party lines, that tells us a small group of 3-5 leading members are calling all the shots, and deciding what evidence is presented, and what is covered up, locked away, and sealed. Which is a nice way of saying destroyed.

It is difficult to figure out where to begin. It may be best to reach back as far as our research has allowed.

In this video recorded May 15, 2016, Nancy Pelosi discusses her vision of immigration and brands Trump supporters as, “white …. whatever.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39ASAfmtjxc

In this video Nancy Pelosi refers to President Trump as, “the deflector and chief.” This video reminds us of issues in the 2016 election when President Obama was suspected of using Russian spies to dig up information on Donald Trump during the 2016 election.

https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2017/03/05/nancy-pelosi-trump-obama-wiretapping-claim-sotu.cnn

May 30, 2017 Nancy Peloci reminds America about her power and position while denying President Trump’s authority. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofey0_W-qog

May 11, 2016 Nancy Peloci comments on the effect Donald Trump has placed on the office of president. https://www.cnn.com/2016/05/11/politics/nancy-pelosi-donald-trump/index.html

After reviewing a few pre and post election videos, it is clear that Nancy Peloci did have a deepening dislike for the President. Did that dislike turn into a hatred, and thirst for revenge? Is that what drove Peloci to initiate the impeachment hearings in the Senate? We have to look at factions of her personality revealed in this short list of videos. How many times did Peloci refer to herself as the most powerful Democrat in the country, and the most powerful woman in the country? Does that reveal another underlying trait? When we look at her post election statement, we see where Nancy Peloci’s mind set was.

Washington, D.C. – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement on the results of the 2016 election:

“The peaceful transfer of power is the cornerstone of our democracy. After an election in which Donald Trump won the electoral college and Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, we have a responsibility to come together and find common ground. Only by recognizing and respecting the important contributions that all Americans make to our country’s success can we build an inclusive and stronger future for America.

“Millions of people are proud of the candidacy and leadership of Hillary Clinton. We are inspired by her, thank her and know that she will continue to be a magnificent force for good in our country.

“As President-elect Trump indicated last night, investing in infrastructure is an important priority of his. We can work together to quickly pass a robust infrastructure jobs bill. Our first responsibility is to protect and defend the American people; we must do so in a manner that is strong and smart, and that honors the sacrifices of our men and women in uniform.

“I congratulate President-elect Trump and his family, and pray for his success.”

https://www.speaker.gov/newsroom/pelosi-statement-on-2016-election

In her statement Peloci grouped the President-elect of the United States with every normal American while exemplifying Hillary Clinton’s success, and pointing out what Peloci later claimed was a flaw in the election process. In her closing paragraph Pelosi focused on making America strong. But her actions after that election threaten to erode the foundation of that strength.

On the other side of the coin we have to look at Trump’s attitude. Trump’s attitude toward women has been well documented. The media has presented Trump as a male chauvinist on steroids. This a trait President Trump has so far suppressed during the election process and into his service as President. Based on the fact the news media had to dig far into the past to expose Trump’s attitude on women, indicates that is an attribute he has outgrown. At least to some extent.

We have to admit, the relationship between President Trump and Nancy Peloci goes far beyond political rivals. When we trace the origin of that relationship, it is not difficult to see how Nancy Peloci has been tightening the screws on the President. Trump’s past actions with certain women is viewed as a weakness. Peloci has gone way past the normal negotiation process into what can only be termed as a childish playground attitude, trying to pick a fight. Her actions fit those of the school bully trying to pick a fight. Not in the physical sense, but on a psychological level. She concentrates on her position as a woman. She concentrates on the fact Trump ran against a woman. She is trying to bring President Trump’s superiority over women to the surface and use that against him. Peloci’s plan has been a slow, methodical process that began during the election process and has escalated into impeachment hearings. Even her attitude today exposes Peloci’s plans. Her, as the most powerful woman in the country wrote the impeachment articles, and now keeps them under her pillow until she decides it is time to forward them to Congress.

Her repeated comments and reminders that the fate of the President lies in the hands, attitude, mind, and will of a woman is enough to drive any normal man crazy. Her timing is a reminder, she controls the quest for free time, family time, and any short bouts with peace of mind the President seeks during the holidays. A time for peace of mind, time with the family, and a reflection of the past. Peloci never tried to hide her sinister use of timing, and disrespect for the season itself. Through all of this, President Trump has exhibited a restraint few men are able to achieve. Any normal man would not have mixed words on the controlled basis President Trump has shown over the past few months. Imagine what would have happened if Peloci was using those tactics to egg on a real male chauvinist is a bar scene or on the streets? Is that the way America wants to see the most powerful woman in the country act? Didn’t she take an oath for the office she occupies?

Each member of Senate must swear an oath.

“I, AB, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”

Photo of the Constitution of the United States of America. A feather quill is included in the photo.The Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the United States of America and is the oldest codified written national constitution still in force. It was completed on September 17, 1787.

Their oath only focuses on defending the Constitution. The military oath of service is completely different.

I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.

The military oath includes following the orders of the President, based on the fact the President is Commander in Chief of the armed forces. All elected representatives should know and respect this. But when we see a person claiming to be the most powerful Democrat and woman in the country disrespecting the office of President, all American voters, especially those who have and are now serving in the military should raise a red flag and let that person know their actions are not appreciated. Currently there are 77 Members in the U.S. House of Representatives who are Veterans. You would think a few of them would have raised that red flag when Nancy Peloci made public comments disrespecting the President.

We do not need representatives in any branch of government who are lead and inspired by personal opinions, and swayed by revenge when they do not get their way. Like it or not, elected officials in every branch of government are role models. It wasn’t long ago the Senate addressed the subject of sports stars as role models. December 14, 2014.

https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CHRG-113shrg96245/pdf/CHRG-113shrg96245.pdf

Why does the Senate look into athletes as role models but ignore the impact its own members have on society? This is one example showing the short sighted views elected officials have on the American culture as a whole.

For the sake of argument, let’s take a look at how Peloci’s disrespect for the President can spread through the armed forces. As a leader and role model, Peloci opened the flood gates for every member in the military to disrespect the President based on the fact, they may not agree with one or any of the orders the President may hand down to the armed forces. Common sense tells us, this is far from defending the Constitution, and opens major gaps in the US military defense. These are gaps we know our enemies are paying close attention to. Based on the fact the impeachment charges focus on correspondence with the Russians, we have to ask which side Nancy Peloci is on.

The open and blatant disrespect goes deeper than the military. Anyone viewing those videos thrusts that attitude on every elected official. All of them are placed in a single group by millions of people. The attitude Peloci lives by and portrays is used as an excuse to disrespect police and every branch of law enforcement. No one can imagine how far the the Peloci role model will extend throughout various social classes across America. Another one of the attitudes Pelosi conveys is her concept of judgment.

When we take a deeper look at the actual impeachment charges filed against the President, we have to admit, they are rather vague.

https://judiciary.house.gov/sites/democrats.judiciary.house.gov/files/documents/Articles%20of%20Impeachment.pdf

Impeachment charges focus on two main issues. The first, discussions with Ukraine. Of course this brings us back to the allegations of wire tapping during the 2016 elections. Was there wire tapping? President Trump had every power at his disposal to uncover evidence of wiring tapping during the 2016 election. Reports online are conflicting. Some claim there is evidence, a possibility, and others claim no evidence exists.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/apr/10/william-barr-says-spying-did-occur-on-trump-campaign-during-obama-era

The fact of the matter is, foreign sources did attempt to sway the 2016 election. But were those sources controlled by any government? Mixed in all this mess is the birth and growth of fake news agencies. Many of those fake news agencies are run by individuals who were normal middle class citizens before they tapped into the power of the Internet, the thirst for sensationalized stories, and big rewards from Internet advertising, and money spyware and virus companies were willing to pay to infect computers. There is more at stake here then politics. Spying has become a multi-billion dollar industry. Information from computers and phones is stolen and sold all over the world. Many of those viruses originate on fake news sites.

https://www.staysmartonline.gov.au/news/fake-news-spreads-more-just-lies

Are our elected officials wasting time blaming each other for those fake news stories? Wouldn’t time be better served searching for a solution to that problem? To date we have not heard any reports about any of those fake news agencies facing charges. Sure they claim freedom of speech for their stories. But what about the information they stole, and the countless billions of dollars US citizens lost? Not one charge has been filed against those Internet pirates? Why? Well governments are the biggest spies. Governments bid against one another to purchase spyware from Internet thieves. Instead Congress has passed laws to protect Internet thieves and scammers.

You used to be able to track an email back to its origin through the email header. It was a simple process. Find the IP address, conduct a simple search, and a map would show the general area where the email originated. Congress passed a law that requires email servers to hide that information. Why? Scammers are human. They have ways of masking their location, but often times forget to initiate that process.

What we need is elected officials who look out for the safety of the general public. Not what they may be able to use in the future to secure their personal goals.

All of this boils down to the simple fact, the majority of politicians today are looking out for themselves. And who is looking out for the general pubic? It seems we are all on our own. That is until we learn our lesson and stop electing carrier politicians.

To be fair, we have to take a look at what the President may have gained by dealing with Ukraine. When we look back at the 2016 elections, the President may have been trying to turn up evidence on the Democrats attempting to use a foreign power to sway the election results. If President Trump was convinced he was being spied on, he would not give up his search for evidence. What was the President to do? Just let it go. If that was the case, let’s take a look at a possible scenario. Bidden is elected president in 2020. Later evidence arises proving he interfered with the 2016 election. Does the Senate then impeach Biden on attempting to fix an election the Democrats lost? It seem the Democrats are impeaching Trump on crimes they think he will commit in the future. This entire process has its twists and turns.

We all know Trump is a negotiator. He lives to negotiate. It is in his blood. A good negotiator gathers all the information they can on the subject at hand and on their competitor. As far as some of the guesswork and less than stellar news on Joe Biden’s involvement in Ukraine, much of that speculation ignores the fact, helping to turn Ukraine into a democratic state was Biden’s claim to fame. It was part of the legacy he wanted to leave behind.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/10/us/politics/joe-biden-ukraine.html

There are two things President Trump could have learned by asking Ukraine about Biden’s involvement. The first was to learn about the advise and methods Biden used to assist the Ukraine shift to a democracy. A good negotiator learns from the success of others. The second thing President Trump could have learned from Biden’s work in the Ukraine was how to approach this topic if it ever came up in a possible face to face presidential debate. A great negotiator is always prepared. If the President was only gathering information for a debate, was that a crime? Can any branch of the Senate control the information a candidate gathers in preparation for a debate?

What about Joe Biden’s son Hunter? I don’t want to waste the time looking into Hunter. He has a job working for a Ukraine oil company willing to pay him $50,000 a month. The BBC claims Hunter has no education or experience in oil production or marketing. So what is up with that arrangement? A smart negotiator will gather information to hold onto. To use it as a sort of shield. If Trump had information on Hunter Biden that Joe Biden knew about, Trump could us that information as a sort of shield to deflect or avoid any personal attacks Biden may be planning. Based on accusations and actions taken in office, President Trump believes Democrats spied on his campaign in 2016. Court records proved spying was part of the campaign process. Members of Trump’s campaign team were placed on trial. The evidence submitted was obtained by tapping into phone calls, intercepting emails, and other forms of spying. There is no question, Trump and members of his campaign team were under constant surveillance. But the media decided not to link it to spying. Democrats insisted that surveillance was necessary for national security. It is all a play on semantics. Which brings up a question. Why is one party able to spy on another party, call it one thing, then bring the other party to trial for using the same methods, but call it another name, and place it under a different light? In the real world this is a case of double standards.

At this point, President Trump has not released any damaging information on Joe Biden. In short, the charges against him are pure speculation. If Peloci brought this evidence into a court of law, her case would be thrown out. The oath she took centers on protecting the Constitution and what it stands for. A great deal of the Constitution deals with delivering a fair trial to every US citizen.

When we look at the conduct displayed in the impeachment hearings and the evidence presented, we can’t help but see how the Constitution has been compromised. Take for instance the right for the accused to face their accuser.

The Confrontation Clause of the Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that “in all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right…to be confronted with the witnesses against him.” Generally, the right is to have a face-to-face confrontation with witnesses who are offering testimonial evidence against the accused in the form of cross-examination during a trial.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confrontation_Clause

This has been a right denied to the President of the United States and has been included in the Articles of impeachment. This is not the only misinterpretation of the Constitution that has surfaced. As pointed out earlier, one person does not control the future of this country, any one Bill, or the Articles of Impeachment. The Constitution is designed to guarantee a balance of power. A point Peloci has talked about in a number of videos included in this report. Peloci is a classic case of say one thing and do another. All of this points to Peloci’s personal interpretation of the Constitution.

During the impeachment trial, Democrats produced a series of hand picked experts on the Constitution. Many of them claimed to be quoting the Constitution, but the words, phrases, and laws they used in their speeches is not found in the Constitution. I was surprised to see members of the House of Representatives remain silent as one after another witness misquoted the Constitution. This is not the type of action one would expect to see in a room full of people under oath to protect and uphold the Constitution. Maybe Republicans were biding their time. Maybe Republicans were waiting to see if there was one Democrat who would break ranks and consider their oat more important than their political affiliation. But that has not happened. After the impeachment, Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy delivered a speech some may consider a Republican view of the impeachment. When you pay close attention to the speech, you see McCarthy did his research. He looked at the Constitution and read comments from its founding fathers. In his speech, McCarthy points out some of the threats to the Constitution this impeachment has brought about.

https://www.republicanleader.gov/leader-mccarthy-floor-speech-on-impeachment/

During this investigation USA-eVote sees another threat. Because USA-eVote concentrates on the facts history has revealed, the information gathered over the years raises red flags which cannot be denied. Not only threats to the US Constitution, but to American way of life and freedom as a whole.

This investigation has shown how Nancy Peloci has been building herself as a leader. A leader with new, innovative ideals which claim to be Constitutional, but are from from the original intent from the Constitution. Kevin McCarthy pointed those threats out in his speech, but failed to go into specific details and back those details up with historical facts.

A number of actions and claims by Nancy Peloci mirror those of Adolph Hitler and his climb to power. His reinterpretation of the Constitution is only one of the parallels to history. The other is Peloci’s reluctance and reasoning behind her decision to withhold the Articles of Impeachment from the next phase. It is clear, Peloci will not allow he progress to continue until she is assured of the results. Which in her case is a guilty verdict with no questions asked. Even though her charges lack evidence, the key witness remains a secret, and the majority of the charges are based on actions she thinks may take place in the future, Peloci insists she needs a guilty verdict guaranteed in writing before a trail is conducted. We’ve seen this in the past. This is one of Hitler’s tricks to gain supreme power.

On July 13, Hitler gave a speech announcing the 74 “justified murders”: “If anyone reproaches me and asks why I did not resort to the regular courts of justice, then all I can say is this: In this hour I was responsible for the fate of the German people, and thereby I became the supreme judge of the German people”

https://usa-evote.com/the-night-of-long-knives/wwii-history/

Although the events surrounding the night of the long knives is different from the impeachment, events leading up to that event have some rather unusual parallels to the action of the Majority Leaders in the House of Representatives.

The court was established in 1934 by order of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, in response to his dissatisfaction at the outcome of the Reichstag fire trial, in which all but one of the defendants was acquitted. The court had jurisdiction over a rather broad array of “political offenses”, which included crimes like black marketeering, work slowdowns, defeatism, and treason against the Third Reich. These crimes were viewed by the court as Wehrkraftzersetzung (“disintegration of defensive capability”) and were accordingly punished severely; the death penalty was meted out in numerous cases.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People%27s_Court_(Germany)

Much like Peloci, Hitler expected a certain guilty verdict. When that didn’t happen, he took action to circumvent Germany’s Constitution in favor for a more modern interpretation guaranteed to represent the will of the people in Hitler’s eyes. This parallel cannot be ignored. Whenever we see an elected official claim the Constitution needs a modern, code word for personal interpretation to better serve the people, we have to take a step back and examine all the evidence looking for the real motive behind such suggestions. Something Germany failed to do and suffered the consequences.

Peloci has made it clear, she considers herself the most powerful woman in the nation. She planned, wrote, and applied the impeachment charges. Peloci wrote the articles, called for a vote, and now wants a written guarantee her verdict of guilty will be respected by Congress. A parallel to Hitler. USA-eVote believes that threat exists.

Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy summarized his speech my mentioning Democratic Socialism 12:20 into his speech. What does McCarthy see that he is reluctant to point out at this time? Voters need to look at Democratic Socialism and learn where it originated. At this time USA-eVote has little information on the road to power some of the founders of socialism took, but the parallels we see with Hitler are alarming. We need to pay attention to those red flags to make certain we do not repeat mistakes other countries made in the past.
