The Fort Liberty Predicament

What, if any, sentiments do I have about Fort Liberty, once Fort Bragg?  Even though this army post is the domicile of the 82nd Airborne, the quick response team of the United States Army, and now the residence of Ground Forces Command (among other elite military units) locally there never was any animosity about war-like behaviors of soldiers.  Until Pvt. James Norman Burmeister II and Pvt. Malcolm Wright brutally executed Michael James and Jackie Burden while walking along a Fayetteville street, white supremacist behavior was not a prevalent dynamic at the post.  It was in 1970 that army physician Jeffrey Robert McDonald brutally murdered his pregnant wife and two daughters while living on base.  Drug use and the manipulation of an other woman were thought to be the cause of these murders.  Only recently Seth Harp's non-fiction book exposes a drug cartel within the Special Forces group stationed and now headquartered at Fort Liberty.  If we jump out of the military and into Immigration and Customs Enforcement or ICE, which incidentally now is staffed by members of the Proud Boys and ex military, vindictive and lawless abductions, detainments, and now murders have become commonplace.  It should be no surprise whence this behavior originates.  It was proven our President Donald Trump is guilty of insurrection organizing and instigating the unruly attack on the United States Capital.  Four years later somehow he was reelected President after multiple felony indictments for a variety of crimes.  He stole confidential classified federal documents and took them to his Mar-a-Lago residence, where they sat in a bathroom.  U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the case before prosecutor Jack Smith was able to present his evidence.  It is likely that Trump sold the documents to foreign adversaries to later stoke Israel's attack on Gaza and his subsequent War in Iran.  It will be interesting if the United States Senate confirms Todd Blanche as the new U.S. District Attorney.  He was the litigator who, representing Donald Trump, sued the IRS for disclosing Donald Trump's tax returns.  The settlement for withdrawing the lawsuit was the establishment of a 1.7 billion dollar fund to PAY the perpetrators of the January 6th attacks.  PAY THE MOB THAT ATTACKED THE CAPITAL!  This fund seems to be important to the President, because paying his cronies is a familiar practice for him.  He pays them to play.  It is difficult for me to read the front page of the Washington Post these days, because the criminal activity of our active President is outrageous, egregious, repugnant, and unconscionable. It makes me livid to read about him, and I wonder how is it possible he still is in office.  The American people should be livid also.  The thought of stealing 1.7 BILLION dollars from a 40 trillion dollar national debt is unthinkable.  If Trump's goal was to achieve the same notoriety of Joseph Stalin, Benito Mussolini, Adolph Hitler or Carl Marx through sheer evil intent, he has succeeded.  

Weaponization of American Products

 I have not slept contiguous hours of sleep in over a month.  I will get tired, lie down, drift into a delicious resting doze only to be roused  by incredibly strong, antagonizing, undulating low frequency sound waves.  These infrasound waves change continually throughout the night and day in speed, depth, quantity, and their ability to alter my mood, downright create depression, and cause tangible physiological bodily pain.  I spend the majority of my day combating this antagonist, and I have discovered most of my maladies disappear completely, when these waves are not present.  That would be about five percent of my total day.  The other ninety-five percent is spent thinking about and trying to escape this torture.  It is akin to war or being under covert attack by the enemy.  I am fighting a war in the privacy of my own domicile unbeknownst to anyone except me and the creators of this phenomenon.  Who are the perpetrators, and should they be called "perps?"  With the onset of the Trump indoctrination regime beginning in 2016, the public began to bear the word "weaponization."  It has been tossed back and forth by our two prominent political parties citing the weaponization of our own government.  Trump has spoken these words often and went as far as to sue the Internal Revenue Service in the state of Florida for the disclosures of his family's tax returns.  His assertions also contended the search of his Mar-a-Lago residence was unlawful, and that collusion with or by the Kremlin in Moscow was nonexistent.  The Trump family upon settlement withdrew the lawsuit with a required formal apology to them, but also the creation of a of an "Anti-Weaponization Fund" worth 1.7 billion dollars.  This money will be siphoned from the all ready existent Judgement Fund, a perpetual appropriation allowing the Department of Justice to settle and pay cases.  In essence Trump claims foul and is suing the federal government for his persecution from his attempted coup, an organized attack on the Capital and Congress, when they were attempting to confirm the results of the 2020 presidential election.  The nominee for the current position of Attorney General of the United States, Todd Blanch, was their legal representative in this lawsuit.  Talk about trying to raid the chicken house...  In the most macabre twist of legal maneuvering, Donald Trump is suing the United States government to try to pay himself and the participants of this grievous attack.  He is seeking money to reward himself, the sitting President of the United States, for sedition and pay the violent operatives for this attempted coup de tat.  There could be nothing more absurd.  Donald Trump is a convicted felon, a traitor, and a mob boss.  How he became the American President for a second term is uncanny and pais homage to his tremendous power as a manipulator.  The appropriate connotation of the word weaponization should be applied to corporate America, because how can a continual polluting of America's drinking water for seventy-six years not be considered "weaponization?"  The American populace, at the behest of wealthy Robber Barons, whether with or without malicious forethought, has been under seige not by foreign adversaries, but by our on brethren.  How many elite families are involved in this practice are yet to be discovered.  Certainly Sackler is at the top of the list. 

The Churning Tide

 Unless you keep your head buried in the sand, it is difficult to ignore a state of war.  It is interesting that there is a war, because Congress never voted and approved it.  How is it possible the United States is at war?  Is it really a war?  Is it some made up gas-lighted charade that was concocted to manipulate voter opinion in the up coming midterm elections?  Trump said plainly in his campaign promised, "No new wars," and yet the United States relentlessly provoked violence from Iran by attacking them.  First out of the blue we bombed their underground nuclear facilities.  In the meantime we slaughtered the drivers of so called "narco boats," defying the Geneva  Conventions, and murdering unsuspecting South American citizens.  We do not know what they were doing, so again the American public is expected to believe the yarns that the Trump Administration is spinning.  In fact Washington has abandoned its Constitutionally protected role, and is operating as a private security firm for the Trump Empire.  They are stealing the money of the American people and enriching themselves until Donald Trump perishes either from natural causes or from assassination.  It is repugnant and deplorable.  I cannot remember a worse time in America history when an elected government has forsaken the public and openly empowered themselves to rape and pillage other foreign nations simply to make money for their backers.  Pete Hegseth is the most visible Trump Lieutenant blatantly lying to Congress and advancing their own agenda of imperialism.  I am beginning to question the loyalty of a swath of the American citizenry.  When questioned they seem to think that attacking foreign nations and governments is cool.  Take Argentina's oil!  Destroy Iran.  Give enriched Uranium to Saudi Arabia, the instigators of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center towers in lower Manhattan.  It is obvious the Trump Organization is working for foreign powers, not America.  In attack after attack our Constitution and more directly our people are being wounded.  Some have died.  It could not be clearer.  I never thought I would see the day when I would have to fight the tyranny of my own people. 

The Christian Fight for Democracy's Survival

I have not wanted to blog, because I don't want to be a broken record.  "Tick, tick, tick," same song, same story.  The American story we are experiencing is a broken record.  The remnants of our federal, state, and local leadership are stuck in a sycophantic groove ensuring their own political and financial security.  Nothing can be more metaphorical than the city of Fayetteville (in Cumberland County) continually hemorrhaging money to local favorites in a nepotistic bacchanal.  Thirty million tax payer dollars lost when Kirk Deviere cancelled the downtown performing arts center project.  This berzerk amusement park ride for the citizens' tax dollars is criminal.  A half-built new fire station on Bragg Blvd., like the Performing Arts Center, is being canceled and deemed uninhabitable.  It is being blamed on the city.  (I can't keep straight whether it is the Mayor, City Manager, City Council, or the County Commissioners) who keep fumbling and lateraling the ball in the worst "Da Ville" cup match ever.  The contractors proclaim it is the fault of the inspectors.  Their original plans for the station are not at fault.  It is the job of the city to police the project.  Meanwhile the money continues to flow out to the pet projects of the local brass.  Market House renovations.  A world class tennis facility.  A multi-million dollar Civil War Museum.  The Cape Fear Regional Theater, under the auspicious co-leadership of Mary Catherine Burke and Ella Wrenn, procured their own steel.  With the most savvy and forward thinking creative and business acumen in decades, these two formulated a plan to expand what began as the Fayetteville Little Theater in Leonard McLoud's living room.  Artistic director and founder of the theater, Olga "Bo" Thorp, achieved a similar renovation and expansion with the help of a state grant acquired by attorney and statesman, Tony Eden Rand.  I remember personally when this took place, and it was transformative for the theater and the local artistic community.  This newest phase is awe inspiring.  The pair chose the best and most appropriate company with which to contract.  History will show the scope of this choice, and how Mary Kate and Ella conceived, planned, and implemented this much needed expansion that brings both glamour and earthiness to Haymont.  The Methodist University and Cape Fear Valley Health's presence cannot be denied when driving into Fayetteville from I-95 South via Owen Drive.  The mirrored facade of the new medical school and additions to the hospital shine like the Eiffel Tower.  The new and improved Cape Fear Regional Theater achieves the same as you drive up Haymount Hill from downtown Fayetteville.  It is no wonder Mr. DeViere cancelled the downtown performing arts center but leaving thirty million dollars unaccounted for.  I hope the the steel for the new Civil War Museum is this lost steel.  The grifting continues, and why shouldn't it when the President of the United States is setting the quintessential example of forsaking the majority of the American citizenry?  It is borderline fascism, and it just keeps coming.  There are so many issues at stake in what has now become a blatant exploiting of the peoples' money.  Trump has nothing to lose, so he just continues to take.  Am I pacified that my own street, Westchester Drive, is slated to be paved in the next year?  Seeing that this modest thoroughfare has become the on ramp for Vanstory Hills Elementary School, and it is plagued with pot holes, cracks, and actively growing vegetation, I would revel in a new smooth asphalt surface upon which to skateboard.  As the city so candidly told me, "The price of asphalt is high right now."  We know why.  My biggest pet peeve is traffic lights.  Since the hurricanes flooded most of Fayetteville and destroyed the traffic control center, logical traffic flow has ceased.  Some new paving has occurred with new trip wires, but the lights are not intelligently programmed.  Everyone will tell you the biggest problem intersections.  First on the list?  McPherson Church Road and Morganton.  It is plausible you will sit at this light for three minutes and nary a vehicle will move.  I have yet to plan my shopping to avoid this area, and always I suffer burning fuel while my car sits in the scorching sun.  Now the Mayor is covering up the city's plan for unwanted data centers, certainly at the behest of a massive Amazon warehouse near Fort Bragg.  In a nutshell with all facets of government being uncooperative of the needs of ordinary citizens and now blatantly exploiting and embezzling tax revenue, and a President who has waged a terror campaign on the populace dismantling regulatory agencies and settling lawsuits with paltry payouts, it is beginning to feel like the only way forward to democratic governance will be resistance violence.  This will manifest itself in small acts of rebellion that will be equivalent to grievous disservices imposed upon the American people.  If prices continue to rise, wages remain stagnant, services are suspended, and people continue to struggle to survive, it will not seem criminal to fight back against political and economic tyranny.  Not unlike the historically active political parties Sinn Fein and the Black Panthers, civilian political activists openly and aggressively began to resist governmental injustice often with violence.  While at the moment the nation has been numbed into subservience, it is becoming evident  only civil or revolutionary war may preserve American democracy.  Donald Trump may crave martyrdom in the vein of vicious dictators, but like the Christian nation America always has been, there comes a time when good people must take up arms and fight.  We are dying at the behest of our own government, and it is time for it to stop. 

Overvoltages

 What is an over voltage?  I googled this word, and surprisingly GOOGLE (with or without the help of AI) gave me an authoritative response citing the many irrevocable damages created by over voltages?  I won't go into them here, but I did save that response for future reference.  Our lives as modern Americans continually are subject to over voltages.  The major over voltage is our President Donald Trump.  Whether the horse is leading the cart or the cart is leading the horse, it is challenging and punitive.  Why do the American people deserve to be punished?  What have we done other than live mundane ordinary lives to be subject to the extreme agenda of Donald Trump?  Is it because we are immigrants?  Are we illegal immigrants?  Does the U.S. immigration policy need to be overhauled?  The truth is all of Donald Trump's policies, whether it is rounding up illegals and incarcerating them in illegal camps, or deporting them to heinous foreign prisons, or imposing tariffs or duties or sanctions on private industries, all of these things have had negative consequences on Americans, the U.S. economy, and world stability.  It is clear the only ramifications of this extreme agenda, including starting a new war with Iran in spite of having said emphatically, "No new wars," is the Trump Organizations is profiting.  They are raking in billions of dollars through cryptocurrency, insider trading, and doing the bidding of the American oil and gas industries and the leaders of Russia and Israel.  Is it possible a corrupt and murderous leader sits sheepishly in the White House dismantling American from within?  It has happened in other nations, and it is common.  America is just one nation in a lineage of democracies that have been rendered moot through various inside means.  Perhaps it began with the Covid outbreak, when notorious pharmaceutical companies created their own new money manufacturing vaccines to treat a deadly pathogen unleashed on the world.  The Sackler Family has been recognized and mitigation has been attempted, but as we acutely are aware the courts have become compliant in the Trump doctrine.  As the vicious and vituperative legal battles continue, it is a daily flip flop of good versus evil.  It is difficult to read the headlines, because each day there is a new grievous assault on the pillars of American democracy.  Rest assured it has been one continuous OVER VOLTAGE.  Our minds, bodies, sensibilities, spirits, and emotions are wrought with anxiety and fear making our everyday lives dire.  This tirade continues not just through politics and the economy, but into our everyday physical lives through our devices.  Aberrant electricity courses through our world unmitigated confusing our machines and taxing our appliances forcing us to upgrade.  My blood pressure has been off the charts, and I am afraid to monitor it.  Soldiers training in the field at Fort Liberty monitor our every move through complex surveillance and radar systems using sound and microwaves.  Our lives have become a surreal movie like that crazy film where you are better off compliant and not making noise.  In our case the squeaking wheel does not the grease, it gets the "Ray."  Now a portable transportable nonlethal weapon can be carried in a backpack and unleashed on anyone, and it was manufactured in the United States, not Russia.  (although our "intelligence" community paid millions for it!)  The American "SS" is here, and we have no peace.  We have been neutered into compliance.  The rebellion of Americans effectively has been reversed, and the Trump Regime has inflicted authoritarian rule.  The government has bought up the news media, so clear factual information is naught.  Big Brother is right here, indoctrinating us into an innocuous existence of nothingness.  If I wasn't less then a decade from death, it would bother me. 

The Right Stuff

 It is difficult to know whether you should bring light to an unfair situation or live in the trenches.  It has reached a breaking point in the United States, where we the people no longer are afforded the privilege of silent compliance.  If we do not speak up about the "Conditions of America," we may lose our country.  In most probability all ready we have.  An out-of-control President fixated on kingly accoutrements,  an arch, a ballroom, or a blue reflecting pool.  Mainstream America is struggling to put food on their tables and gasoline in their cars.  It could be no clearer the line of demarcation between rich and poor.  It is biblical in proportions!  It is so absurd, the disconnect between the people and their mostly senile President, that it reads more like fiction.  It seems if the nation and its empirical media are walking on eggshells waiting for someone to kill the President, like fiction.  The affect of social media on reality is starkly clear.  It has created an unreality safe in cyberspace and unencumbered by the traditional Rules of Robert.  It is cyber currency, a clandestine, back room, illegal exchange of currency immune from the scrutiny of the IRS.  There could be no more appropriate time to superimpose one's personal values in life.  For most of us it has nothing to do with insane prophecies of colonizing Mars, traveling in space, or battling a massive AI bot that takes over.  We are doing the same things man has done since his inception to survive.  They are the right things.   

Hit the Road, Jack!

Let's begin with "Unconstitutionality."  For Americans 2026 has been plagued with it.  A fairly young nation is destined to be subject to the same ills as other Western nations.  We are not unique and thus have entered maturity battling the same internal governmental corruption as many.  Even in the last few decades examples of such tyranny are rife.  Saddam Hussein.  Muammar Gaddafi.  Bashar al-Assad.  Hugo Chavez.  Now American Donald Trump has entered the field for competition.  With delusions of grandeur, narcissism, and sedition the current American President singlehandedly has attempted to dismantle two and a half centuries of democratic governance forged by our Founding Fathers.  It has been a big pill to swallow emerging into each new day with a taste of shit.  Instinctively I knew before I died America would succumb to such an onslaught.  Our generations have been lucky with only hints of Viet Nam in our consciousness.  The Persian Gulf was our first "television war," and we did not internalize the pangs of death.  Perhaps Afghanistan and Iraq were the more visceral and gruesome examples of a bona fide "War Economy."  It was inevitable that Donald Trump's second term would spiral into lunacy.  Faked assassination attempts?  With George Bush Jr. it was a shoe.  Saturation has occurred with most Americans, and we have begun to refocus on the more important aspects of American life.  Surprisingly these are the things that always have been important to intelligent and enlightened Americans.  The technology threshold has blown its wad, and like how it has been predicted in numerous film it has turned against us.  The "Tet."  "Skynet."  A wirelessly connected network of satellites that is attempting to exterminate the majority of the human race so the rich may cavort in ecstasy as world dwellers.  They want the planet to themselves.  Are they aliens?  As we watch three mile long unit freight trains obstruct grade crossings and restrict access to emergency health services, we ask ourselves, "Who is doing this?"  The answer is CEOs earning dividends for their shareholders.  The Rich and the Aspiring Rich raping and pillaging the common populace for their own gain.  The list of human grievances has grown long and complex and is too stark to list here.  Just know that we as a nation are fighting for our lives until Trump is gone.
