Surakvulcan takes a stand, for Truth, Freedom and the (North) American way! So what is that way? It is "plain spoken" and unadorned; it is wanting to get to know your neighbours (in case you need their help) and "thinking about their wants and needs"; it is self-reliance and "willingness to lend a hand"; it is "show me", but "don't tread on me"; it is "live and let live" and a "true North, strong and free". It is service to others: World War One; World War Two; Korea; Viet Nam; Afghanistan, none of which were in our back yard, but were in our world! Is that because we are blood thirsty and desire the death of our best and brightest?
Don't let your political enemies define you. Just look at the cenotaphs in any jurisdiction, or visit the war cemeteries in the above countries; why would a people want to die for others? Because we are different, modeled on the example of the family we grew up in: we may squabble like dogs and cats but we are still in this together. Some of us are, anyway.
"My question is whether there is a critical mass of people who will separate from the system to form our own nation dedicated to Judeo-Christian Western civilization. If conservative leaders refuse to issue such a call, then we will conserve nothing". This was excellent and extremely perseptive.
You may have some holdouts (Like me) that want to win the entire pie; not just a piece. I have come to realize that if we can hold a piece the rest will fall to us by default. The Left (Uniparty, OWG or whatever our enemy calls itself) has never been good at building and making, only destroying. I am addressing this from a secular point of view; we know how this plays out from a spiritual perspective... we read the book (Regardless of the version, LOL).
Time to call the enemy what they are; The Forces of Evil!
You can call it what you want but the sooner we accept that we are fighting for our very existence the sooner we can start winning the war.
Most of my life I have spent in the process of war; preparation, fighting the battles, negotiating the end or recovering from the effects...
The biggest problem is that we tend to try and fight the next war with the last wars tools and rules. The US Military is still basking in the successful outcome of the cold war. Hello! That war ended 34 years ago. Meanwhile China has been preparing and reconnoitering the battlefield for the next war. They are well on the way to winning this one because there is no victory if we actually have to fight the next war. To win is to not have to fight, controlling the outcome with little or no combat...
This is why pResident Briben's administration is such a failure; his incompetence and weakness has emboldened our enemies. As things stand now huge swaths of our production capabilities are under the control of the enemy.
I am a Manufacturing Consultant and work for several Fortune 500 companies. Or I did till I became so toxic that no one was interested in the gains I could help them generate in manufacturing. You would not think I would be a "rebel"; I spent 24 years of my life in the US Army as my first career. I then went forth and got a degree in Business with a focus in Production Operations. I have worked, successfully, for many years completing my MBA in Data Analytics in 2023. I have been an avid reader of Surak's blogs for since 2020 but have broken off contact in fear that I could harm his career with my toxicity.
My crime is telling the truth and not accepting lies or distortions regardless of who supports them. If honesty means the end of my career, then so be it; my new career is calling attention to the lies. Not exactly what the enemies of truth would want. The one thing that I believe I can say with certainty; Surak, the man, is honorable and honest. This is a major accomplishment nowadays...
Since it is now irreverent, I may start posting again; I miss my online pals...
God Bless Israel and keep my Friends there safe!
I hope they do not let any power stop them from destroying Hamas!
God Bless America and restore her to righteous behavior as Land of the Free!
May God Bless my Friend Surak and keep him and his family safe.

We are at War.

Not Good!
How great to be back, I am going back catching up with teachings of Surak!
