Economic Disparity in a Military Town

 With the emergence of the Persian Gulf War, Fayetteville, North Carolina struggled to survive.  The lack of military patrons proved the economy of Fayetteville is reliant upon military dollars.  Therefore a working relationship between Fayetteville leadership and Fort Liberty leadership is key.  In the past a healthy dynamic has existed between these two.  When Ground Forces Command originally came to Fort Bragg they brought with them a performing musical contingency with many faces.  Under the leadership of Danial Toven the Ground Forces Band forged a liaison with with the city of Fayetteville.  Their many performing ensembles entertained the citizens of Fayetteville at Festival Park, a rather new performance space which took the place of the old USO building.  A concerted effort to promote patriotism, camaraderie, and fellowship between the base and the city of Fayetteville was launched.  As time has passed this relationship is dwindling.  Diplomacy between the two has not been a priority, and contrarily a divide has emerged with Fort Liberty existing as a self-sustaining megalopolis.  I-295 created the line of demarcation for the base.  It has been a virulent seven years since Donald Trump infiltrated the White House, and nothing has been the same.  Solidarity in America has waned, and Mr. Trump has championed factionalism instead dividing America into warring tribes.  It was an extreme agenda reminiscent of the Jim Crow Era in American history.   Although the Union won the Civil War, after federal troops withdrew from New Orleans segregation was enacted, and guerilla warfare continued against freed slaves.  Lynching was commonplace, the murdering of African Americans for diversion.  The argument for and against "Woke" politics considers this ill bred history.  How could Americans (and others) enslave another race and demand they work for free?  Of course this model dates back to antiquity, thus slavery was a common practice for man.  That does not make it right.  It took one of America's greatest presidents to drive this point home, and hundreds of thousands of able American men lost their lives fighting for this cause.  The Emancipation Proclamation freed the slaves, but trying to integrate into white society was no cup of tea for persecuted and oppressed people.  The American South defined itself as purveyors of slavery, and they built their fortunes upon the backs of African slaves tending their plantations.  The rice fortune of Charleston, South Carolina is an example of this iniquity.   Today "Woke" politics seeks to find retribution for this cultural phenomenon.  Does it make sense to continue to carry this torch for wrong doing as an example of life, or is it better to move on?  Perhaps closure can be achieved if the new generation of slavers finally is recognized, indicted, convicted, and imprisoned.  The removal of Donald Trump from the public eye is crucial for the recovery of a free America.  It is difficult to understand the severity of this behavior, lynching as entertainment or empowerment for weak minds.  It should be considered as a grievous failure of America's system of public education.  When did educating our population become so daunting?  The answer is because a particular faction of separatists, modern slavers, want this.  They desire ignorance, violence, and barbarianism because it is easier to control.  While the masses are killing one another the tills of America are being raided.  This is happening now, and Washington, DC is the place.  Thirty trillion dollars worth of debt and climbing.  We have lost our minds.  A hearty and robust civics curriculum would be in order to remember how human beings live together.  It is not as a herd of cattle addicted to smart phones and losing the ability of Socratic thinking.  Trust no one, but that is a grievous loss.  Christianity is fellowship, and once it was honest and good.  Today it is wise to understand your fellow men are suffering from mental illness, manipulation, coercion, and isolation.  Covid was a part of this campaign.  To get America healthy again detoxification is necessary.  We have to understand and we have to act.  Everything is working against this, because America's people are being hindered at every turn.  Our food supply is tainted and unhealthy, thus Americans grossly are overweight.  Our educational system has been invaded, and proper relevant knowledge is difficult to find.  Our environment, the air, our water, and our atmosphere is rife with magnetic electricity which is part of the cause of our illness.  Most of what has become status quo American life now is hazardous and sometimes fatal.  No one cares.  Men are mutating into women and vice versa, but we justify this aberrant mutation as freedom of choice.  I think God must cringe when he views what has become of the human species.  Human beings are not as diverse and different as we like to believe.  We were created by God in His image and by His design.  Our indignation that we have a Savior is mystifying.  Those who believe man is sacrosanct will burn in hell fire for eternity when Jesus visits the earth in His second coming.  Those who believe will be transported to a new planet, and it was not built by Elon Musk.
