The Sound of Leftist Heads Exploding

One week ago a girlfriend, Christie and I went to go see the movie “The Sound of Freedom”. It really was quite an amazing movie. The story centers on two little children from Honduras, and how they came to be in the clutches of sex traffickers and their rescuer, Tim Ballard, a former Homeland Security officer. This was a long time ago, back when the government fought crime. Tim is now the person behind “Operation Underground Railroad” The movie covers Tim’s change in life mission, from taking down pedophiles to finding the children exploited by them.

A noble movie, right? I mean it’s true, not all of it, there were some creative liberties taken, and some characters were blurred, but many of the main ones are very much real and the names given to them in the movie are close enough that if you know them, you’d know who the were. O.U.R. really is rescuing children and I guess you could call it their mission statement is “G-d’s children are not for sale”.

What has been baffling is the media response to this! Shocking really. I mean how many times have we heard from the left that the latest gun control measure meant to take rights away from law abiding citizens, many of them parents, is “for the children”. I’m still not clear on how limiting parents ability to defend their children is to the benefit of the children but I’m not a brain rotted leftist, so there ya go.

‘Sound Of Freedom’ Is a Superhero Movie for Dads With Brainworms

The QAnon-tinged thriller about child-trafficking is designed to appeal to the conscience of a conspiracy-addled boomer

.

Caviezel, best known for being tortured to death in Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ, has become a prominent figure on the conspiracist right, giving speeches and interviews in which he hints at an underground holy war between patriots and a sinister legion of evildoers who are harvesting the blood of children. It’s straight-up QAnon stuff, right down to his use of catchphrases like “The storm is upon us.”

This is a special kind of hatred for a movie trying to raise awareness about children. And it’s far from the only one like that. The left’s typical response is attack the message and the messenger.

Tim Ballard, Inspiration Behind ‘Sound of Freedom,’ Quietly Leaves Anti-Trafficking Group

Since The Sound of Freedom was released in theaters last week, the inspiration for the film, Tim Ballard, the CEO of the anti-trafficking organization Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.), has been getting quite a bit of attention — and not all of it has been positive. The film, which has grossed nearly $50 million, has been subject to criticism from anti-trafficking experts, many of whom claim it is an inaccurate depiction of child trafficking and that the tactics espoused in the film may actually put trafficked kids in danger. Others have focused on Operation Underground Railroad and Ballard himself, particularly his tendency to self-mythologize and embellish his exploits and his more recent pivot toward conspiracy theories.

He’s now the CEO of the Nazarene Fund, O.U.R.’s sister organization which serves Christians and other religious minorities fleeing persecution in the Middle East.This is not exactly abandoning the organization.

Lots of the are like that. As he is now famous, I wonder if they left has considered his chances of being successful at undercover operations now? Probably not, their goal is to attack.

Why ‘Sound of Freedom,’ Jim Caviezel’s controversial child sex trafficking film, is a hit

Some are even more astonishing. They claim raising awareness of child trafficking is harming efforts to fight child trafficking. And this is far from the only article. Controversial? Really?

Why Anti-Trafficking Experts Are Torching ‘Sound of Freedom’

I’ve literally been on four different group texts about the damn movie,” says Erin Albright, an attorney who has worked in the anti-trafficking space for 15 years, including as a former fellow for the Department of Justice’s anti-trafficking task force. Albright says Sound of Freedom is “grounded in this sensational perspective of what child trafficking would be,” rather than reflecting its grim reality.

.

Yet from the movie’s opening montage, which shows surveillance footage of children being snatched by strangers off the streets, Sound of Freedom offers a “false perception” of how the majority of child trafficking actually takes place, according to Albright.

Soooo I guess I could have reached out to Adam Walsh for comment, but he’s dead. That’s not what I took from the montage at all. While Adam was never trafficked, children are absolutely taken from stores, from in front of their homes. But the left is correct in that I’m sure the majority of children being trafficked today is being facilitated by the left, the Biden crime regime and financed by U.S. taxpayers.

Gone are the days when children might have been separated from the adults that brought them across the border and DNA tests done to be sure that the adult really was kin folk. No today kids come across the border with a name and number pinned to their shirt, border patrol calls the number tells them their moneymaker is here and we pay to ship them to the receiving party. The cartels don’t even have to pay shipping. Cheaper than Amazon prime because the cartels don’t even have to pay membership unless you count 10% for the “big guy”. I guess that would be “Biden Prime”.

JJ Carrell is a retired Deputy Patrol Agent in Charge in the United States Border Patrol. I think the people that have done the job and are speaking out about the movie probably should be given more attention than some random Rolling Stone writer. JJ did a column recently on The Sound of Freedom.

Our government’s intentional and strategic decision to leave our borders wide open has created a tsunami of illegal immigration into America. Millions of individuals are pouring into our nation, and this is not happening in a vacuum. The tenacles of this monster reach beyond the border creating chaos and destruction where it travels. One of the tenacles is the abhorrent practice of child sex trafficking. This is an ugly and uncomfortable topic to discuss because it is so ugly and evil.

.

Our government has arrested hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied minors and then released them to individuals who we never vetted. Health and Human Services (HHS) has admitted to “losing” over 85,000 children (about the seating capacity of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum). HERE That number has increased to well over 100,000 children and is growing daily. Stop and think about the magnitude of “losing” 85,000 children and having absolutely no idea where they are and no idea to who they were given to.

Republican senators want feds to explain losing 85,000 migrant kids

A pair of Republican senators are demanding that federal officials account for how they reportedly lost track of 85,000 migrant children over the past two years.

The clamor from Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) comes on the heels of a February New York Times report that the Department of Health and Human Services had been unable to contact thousands of unaccompanied minors who were placed with sponsors after crossing the border — raising fears that they have been trafficked for cheap labor.

.

Roughly 340,000 unaccompanied children have shown up at the United States border since 2021, according to US Customs and Border Protection.

Cheap labor, and that’s if they’re lucky I’m guessing.

Another reality is that is far from the only way the government gets children into the child trafficking mill.

I recently got an email from a girl friend of mine, I told her a girl friend and I had gone to see The Sound of Freedom so she thought I’d be interested in some stats from just her state, just Missouri. She had gotten a email from a website called Jodi Grace

This is just in the state of Missouri.

Federal watchdog’s report sheds new light on scope of Missouri’s missing foster kids

There were 1,780 instances of foster kids going missing in Missouri over a two-and-a-half year period

Pretty bad isn’t it? But wait, there’s more.

Federal watchdog finds Missouri failed to adequately report, protect missing foster kids

In 2019, 978 children were missing at some point from Missouri foster care, according to the report

A federal watchdog found that Missouri failed to sufficiently reduce children’s risk of going missing from the foster care system and frequently failed to notify local and federal authorities they were missing.

That’s in 2019 alone. One year.

But for the left it’s not enough to take children from parents who have may actually have problems, no in California they now plan to take children if their parents won’t allow the confused child to take hormone blockers with unknown long term side effects or have life altering as well as body altering surgeries. I would call it child mutilation, the left calls it “gender affirming”. The left has a real problem with words. It’s denying the sex the child was born and they call it “affirming”. They aren’t affirming, they are denying and mutilating.

CA State rep warns parents of gender affirming law: ‘If you love your children, you need to flee California’

Conservative outlet The Daily Signal reported that the warning followed a Democratic senator’s recent amendment to identify “gender affirmation” among children’s needs for “health, safety and welfare.” If parents refuse to affirm their child’s preferred gender, they could face child abuse charges and lose custody disputes.

I found this part (same article) pretty interesting.

After some listeners applauded his remark, Wilk added that he himself plans to not stay in the state once he leaves the legislature.

“I was born and raised in this state. I love this state, but I’m not going to stay in this state. It’s just too oppressive and I believe in freedom and so I’m going to move to America when I leave the legislature,” he said.

Critics of the bill say its ambiguous language could mean that parents get slapped with false allegations.

The California Governor could be ‘done’ if he signs new trans bill

This isn’t like ‘oh trans people should get care’, right, they call it gender-affirming care,” Ms Kelly told Sky News host Paul Murray.

Ms Kelly said this is the California lawmakers saying if the parents don’t affirm their child’s gender confusion, they could be labelled a “child abuser”.

I think SkyNews is over optimistic here, it’s California nothing will happen to Newscum.

But there is another aspect to this “gender affirming” issue, I’ve heard more than one person point out that if a 8 year old can make the decision to change his sex, then eventually it will be the 8 year old is old enough to decide to have sex with an adult and presto change-o no more trafficking, just consensual sex between two willing parties.

This is a special kind of evil, beyond anything I’ve ever seen in our country before. That the leftist echo chamber in unison is doing everything it can to discredit the movie, the actor, the man who started the group by rescuing children and the group that rescues children should tell you something. They are over the target and laying down truth bombs right and left. The sound of leftist heads exploding…it’s a beautiful thing.

Charlie Daniels has solutions though. I do love me some Charlie.

An Invisible “AR-15”?

Did you hear about the guy wearing a helmet shooting up Turnberry Towers in Las Vegas with an “AR-15” last Friday? Unless you do your own specific news searches, you probably didn’t.

ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox, NBC, MSNBC… none of them seems to be covering it for some strange reason. Normally some bad guy blasting away with one of those evil black AR-15s — especially in Vegas — gets wall-to-wall coverage, accompanied by more calls to ban ’em. But not this time. Crickets. Nowhere to be seen, other than a local report.

Here’s a hint.

The resident says it was an employee of the towers who stopped the attack, and thinks they are a hero who deserves recognition for stepping in.

Yep, effective armed self defense by a honest person carrying lawfully. They can’t afford to publicize that, even at the cost of missing a chance to demonize AR-patterns firearms. First rule of mainstream media: never admit armed defense works, especially when it may have stopped a mass shooting.

And speaking of that “AR-15″… the report does refer to the weapon as such, but I’m not so sure. Let’s check the video.

There is a pistol grip, but I see no magazine protruding. The barrel appears thin, with no shroud or gas tube. I’m not enough of a firearm ID expert to say what it is, but it doesn’t look like anything in the AR family.

Why We Fight

Today is D-Day, and I suppose in a lead up to D-Day Shimshon and I have been watching some (what I consider) relevant movies and documentaries. We started watching Band of Brothers last week and a couple of nights ago finished it. One of the episodes is called “Why We Fight”. If you haven’t seen Band of Brothers I’ll give you the relevant point. The war is pretty much over, a few of the men from Easy Company are out in the woods on patrol, just kind of clearing the area when they run across the first concentration camp they’ve seen. They don’t know what it is. They send one of the men back to headquarters to try to find an officer. He finds Dick Winters (who was a very good officer, and I suspect and even better human) and the next scene is of a few officers; Ronald Speirs, Lewis Nixon and some of the rest of Easy Company including Joesph Liebgott. This mattered because Liebgott spoke German. In the first part of the episode many of the men had been questioning why had they given up the years of their lives to live in trenches and fight bad men. After they saw the concentration camps, and Liebgott was able to ask them questions and relay the answers to the officers they all more fully understood the situation. Dick Winters later tells Lewis Nixon the Russians found camps that were even worse. I suspect that may have been the first time some of the boys had seen that level of depravity and evil that can be inflicted on fellow human beings. The next lesson the men learned was “cultured, civilized” people are perfectly capable of standing by and allowing the atrocities, murder and starvation of innocent people. When the men of Easy talked to the town people they all denied knowing anything about it. Apparently one of the Generals had a brilliant idea. The townspeople were hauled out to the concentration camp to bury the bodies. The trait is easily visible today and when someone is being attacked there will be 4,352 TikTok, YouTube and FakeBook videos of the whole thing. Of someone like Daniel Penny stepping in to help others? Not so many.

The next atrocity to be fought was in Israel. You see the Not So Great Britain was there. Last night Shimshon and I watched the 2014 Documentary The Forsaken Promise. This is the whole documentary. Not sure how long it will be there.

The League of Nations trusted Britain to establish a national home for the Jews in their historic homeland, Israel.

The “Mandate for Palestine,” an historical League of Nations document, laid down the Jewish legal right to settle anywhere in western Palestine, a 10,000-square-miles3 area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.

The legally binding document was conferred on April 24, 1920 at the San Remo Conference, and its terms outlined in the Treaty of Sèvres on August 10, 1920. The Mandate’s terms were finalized and unanimously approved on July 24, 1922, by the Council of the League of Nations, which was comprised at that time of 51 countries,4 and became operational on September 29, 1923.5

The “Mandate for Palestine” was not a naive vision briefly embraced by the international community in blissful unawareness of Arab opposition to the very notion of Jewish historical rights in Palestine. The Mandate weathered the test of time: On April 18, 1946, when the League of Nations was dissolved and its assets and duties transferred to the United Nations, the international community, in essence, reaffirmed the validity of this international accord and reconfirmed that the terms for a Jewish National Home were the will of the international community, a “sacred trust” – despite the fact that by then it was patently clear that the Arabs opposed a Jewish National Home, no matter what the form.

But despite being trusted by the entire league of nations to re-establish Israel (the nation, the tribes) in Israel (the land) Britain did not do that. In fact, Britain not only limited the number of Jews fleeing hitler and the nazis, they sent refugee ships back. But, so did America under the Demoncratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The British disarmed the Jews living in Israel as best as they could, while arming the arabs. In the riots of the 1920s and onward the Brits would stand back and allowed the Jews they had disarmed to be slaughtered. One horrific example at 1:45:00 into the documentary details the attack of 13 April 1948 when a medical convoy was trying to get to the Hadassah hospital in the besieged Jerusalem. The convoy was carrying patients, medical personnel and supplies, it was stopped and attacked by arabs. The Brits checked every convoy trying to get into Jerusalem to make sure that none of the Jews had any weapons, so they were defenseless against the arabs. The people were butchered. No, I didn’t mean killed. There was a British outpost nearby and the soldiers wanted to intervene and were told to stand down. It is reported some of the soldiers cried as they watched the slaughter and mutilation that followed. But they didn’t do anything. There are photographs of the aftermath in the video.

When the refugee ships came in to Israel, the Brits would put the Jews in one of several prison camps. One woman was in prison for five years, she and her husband had escaped, but she lost her whole family to the nazis in the concentration camps. She told of how the British soldiers would beat the prisoners, really they were quite despicable. But if you look at the pattern of the Brits…..America vs. Britain, Ireland vs Britain, Israel vs. Britain….Britain has not been on the side of good in any of those, and in the beginning of WWII Chamberlain made appeasement with hitler, so.

There was really nothing Israel could do about it at this point. They didn’t have control of their own country. The British did, the Jewish Israelis just had to suffer at the whims of the anti-Semitic British government. Oh, yes I did mean to say that. Watch the documentary. See, when your local politicians are not in control, when they have to bow to the will of others who may not have the very best welfare of your nation at heart when making decisions, it will not turn out well. This is something to keep in mind as the traitorous criminal Joe Biden tries to turn U.S. over to the benevolent dictatorship of the W.H.O. with the pandemic treaty. WHO Pandemic Treaty Is a Threat to Liberty. They are already talking about digital tracking. Seems the injection mandates and green passports were just such a dandy paradigm that a lot of the framework is already in place. We already have the FIB so we have the SS who are willing to throw political opposition in the Gulag to prevent them from speaking out. According to whistle blower Steven Friend, it’s not the rank and file of the FIB, instead is the leadership at the top.

Which brings me to leadership. Both examples are from WWII, both of these men came from humble backgrounds. I don’t know that either of them ever aspired to fame, but G-d put something in them that was needed on that day at that time, leadership.

The first man I mentioned earlier, Ronald Speirs, clip is 1:26 seconds long.

The next man I think I may have written about before, General Norman Dutch Cota, he puts paid to the notion you have to be in your prime and in great shape to make great things happen. 7:05 seconds long.

These men fought, because they knew what lay behind them were things they loved and cared about, family, friends and a way of life, their country and freedom to live their lives as they chose. They may have known some of what they were fighting against in front of them, but I don’t think in the beginning they even fully grasped the depth of evil they were up against. Man’s inhumanity to man.

I believe G-d puts the ability to fight back against evil into every creature. I believe we have the ability to fight on despite odds being against us. Every creature.

That cat absolutely is inspiring, and yes, it’s a cat not a small dog. Dogs don’t slap or bat like that. It’s a partisan guerilla cat! It gets in, gets the job done and gets out. A Chuck Norris cat.

Yes, we have a lot stacked against U.S. right now, and many of our fellow citizens have fallen victim to the Fifth Generation Warfare being conducted against U.S. by our own corrupt government. So we may not have as many allies as we should, and have more enemies than we deserve. But we don’t get to choose that bit. We do get to choose if we will pick up the torch that was handed U.S. by the men and women of WWII. It’s all about our mindsets.  Maybe we will talk to people, maybe we will contact politicians, maybe we will go to political rallies and meetings, maybe we will donate money to people like Sen. Josh Hawley that actually do fight back. Goodness knows Soros donates to the likes of Kim Fox, Kim Gardner and their ilk. Maybe we just talk to our kids and grandkids and make sure they understand truth and reality and try to offset some of the damage being done in public schools. Maybe we become more informed about issues. Maybe we join our local grassroots Second Amendment group. But there will be some way for each of us to fight, because 79 years after D-Day, we have a far better idea of why we fight than they did that day they landed on the beaches of Normandy.

This is Jim Quinn’s D-Day tribute, he’s been doing it for years. It starts after 42 seconds.

Well Of Course Women Are

It should come as a shock to no one with a bit of a brain that some women are waking up and realizing Demoncrats hate them. They hate them with their actions and they aren’t shy about showing it. For example, the recent incident on the subway car in NYC. Women have been under attack in the NYC subway for a long time; heads bashed in with hammers, sexual assaults, punched in the face all kinds of severe violence against women. What do demoncrats do? Well, what any good marxist would do, they take advantage of the situation to turn the criminal into the victim and demonize anyone who stands up for themselves or other weaker individuals including, but not limited to, women. While Demoncrats may not have outlawed self defense, they prosecute it as a crime rather than the violent criminal. For example, the recent incident on the NY subway where a homeless mentally ill man was threatening passengers. A 24 year old Marine (I understand there are no former Marines) stepped up and with the help of other passengers, some of whom were black, restrained him. The BLM/Antifa set along with whatever agitators can be rounded up are now trying to turn this into a hot mess. Let’s see how the Guardian, a left wing rag is “reporting” on it (giggle giggle, reporting, I crack myself up sometimes).

Outrage in New York after the killing of Jordan Neely on a subway train

The attack on Monday has been called a semi-sanctioned vigilante response to homelessness and the mental health crisis

.

This was a horrible lynching – the murder of someone needing help,” said student Shifa Rahman. “He was at a point of desperation and a citizen, acting in racial bias, acted to suppress that.”

.

King James, 47, said he had been on the F train in a separate subway car when the incident occurred. James said the station, which is warm and spacious, was a gathering place for panhandlers like himself. Apparently concern is for panhandlers, not the people paying to ride a safe subway

It was a long time that he was in the headlock,” he said. “He put him a hold that you can only apply from behind,” James said. “The white guy did it out of aggression to a homeless person, and he [Neely] had no chance of defending himself.

.

Minister Ray Tarvin said he knew Neely as a man in need. “He was a nice person, not aggressive or violent. Everyone who knew him knows that. He’d accept anything you had – many of the homeless down here are sober. They’re needing food or shelter or clothing, not strung out and shooting up dope.”

Ok, enough, you get the drift. Pretty much everything is praising the man to the highest order, including calling him a talented Michael Jackson impersonator, and maybe he was.

But he also had FORTY-TWO ARRESTS from 2013-2021. Four for violent assault and he still had an active warrant for a violent assault from 2021. So Minister Ray Tarvin, perhaps you aren’t being truthful? Or you don’t know him well? Either way, you’re wrong. He’s proved it time and again, he was violent.

Lawyers for NYC Subway Marine Post Statement on Jordan Neely Death – Protesters Won’t Like What It Says

I can’t help but wonder if the Marine had some instinct that was kicking in. You can sometimes get an energy read of people that tell you when they are getting ready to go off. But with the Demoncrats no bail policy, it’s a sure bet they weren’t going to keep him off the streets. Did he need help? YES!!!! A million times YES, but would Demoncrats do that? Nope.

Authorities Identify Suspect Who Rammed His SUV, Killing 8 and Injuring 18 in Brownsville, Texas

I believe the media initially tried to claim the Hispanic male with a long list of violent crimes was a “white supremacist”

Brownsville Police Chief Felix Sauceda identified the driver of the vehicle as George Alvarez, 34, who has a long criminal history

Also disheartening is the FIB has been brought in to work on the case…great why the FIB? They haven’t even finished writing the Nashville transgender mass murder’s manifesto. Why couldn’t they bring in an organization that solves crimes? Like the Texas Rangers.

Then there is this from a gun free zone, Texas State Law Enforcement Identifies Shooter Responsible for Killing Eight People at Allen Premium Mall in Allen, Texas

It is unknown at this point whether or not Garcia is a legal resident of the United States at this point.

Garcia reportedly lives with his parents.

According to Fox News, FBI agents joined police Sunday morning and were reportedly speaking with family inside the home.

A translator was reportedly requested by the family.

The FIB, Texas Rangers and Allen PD are asking for people with cellphone video or images to upload them to a special web site. Hopefully no one will turn them over to the FIB to be disappeared down the rabbit hole.

I mean that could interfere with Beijing Xiden calling for more gun control, which of course, he has already done. Because they are Demoncrats and that’s what they do. They turn violent criminals loose to attack innocent citizens and then call for the innocent citizens to be disarmed so they will be at the mercy of the criminals. Everyone should understand this is how they operate. Now I realize, there are some, like my best friend’s cousin who thinks Xiden is doing a great job, no worries about illegal aliens or crime. Everything’s fine, and she lives in Texas! Unbelievable.

I won’t even get into the Demoncrats under the Xiden crime regime ruining the hopes and dreams of young female athletes. And why are the feminists so silent on this? Why aren’t they screaming like the Harpies on the View as they would be if there were a Republican in office?

Biden Destroys Women’s Sports

Now it’s not everyone the Xiden crime regime thinks should be disarmed and defenseless, no indeed, the IRS is allowed many guns and much ammo paid for by the taxpayers Xiden and the Demoncrats are trying to disarm. The Ukraine? We’ll send them all we have.

From May 4th, IRS has purchased $10 million worth of guns, ammunition

So Demoncrats have communicated loud and clear, not only can they not explain what a woman is, they don’t care. Nor do they care what happens to them or their families. Other than at election time when they will trot them out and tell them how evil Republicans are (and some are, Murder Turtle and Mittens) and tell the soccer Moms and those embracing their white privilege classification that they must vote for them or Democracy (mob rule) will die. Or worse, the Republicans could restore a the same rule of law for all, restore our energy, close the border and deport the invaders depriving them of American tax payer dollars. Horrible things like that. And they’d have to leave our gas stoves alone.

At least some Republicans are trying to find solutions to the attacks. Texas GOP Rep. Says Americans Should Carry Guns To Stop Active Shooters, Following Mall Shooting

The shooting at the Allen Premium Outlets in Allen, Texas, a suburb of Dallas, left nine people dead, including the shooter, while seven others were taken to area hospitals. A police officer on the scene engaged and stopped the shooter, local law enforcement said.

Sometimes waiting for the good guy with a gun that the mall allowed to carry can be expensive. Will the mall face consequences? I doubt it.

So some women are getting the message, the AOCs of the Demoncrat party along with her merry band of BLM and Antifa have defunded the police, and so there is no one coming to save anyone part of the time. Problem is, which part? Who knows. Your guess is as good as mine. It’s a gamble and some women aren’t willing to take the gamble. It should come as no surprise that many women aren’t as stupid as the left thinks they are.

Report: At Least One in Five Women Now Own GunS oh please please let that be a plural!

The 22 percent was up seven points from a figure of 15 percent in 2016.

Fox News spoke with Jessica McCoy, as she was at a Washington state range shooting a Daniel Defense AR-15.

McCoy made clear she is learning to shoot so she can defend her family and her home when her husband is gone.

….

Olson described coming face-to-face with one of two burglars in her neighborhood, saying, “What can I do [against] two men? Being a woman and not as strong, we need something a little stronger to help protect us.”

….

CNN quoted Northeastern University’s Dr. Matt Miller, saying, “Sometime between 2016 and 2019, the new gun owners were more likely to be female and Black than prior to that and, whether it’s in response to feeling as though things are going out of control, the country is really divided, that’s a tempting speculation to make.”

I know, I’m quoting a #FakeNews source, cnn, but maybe, just maybe, they managed to get this one quote right from Dr. Miller. Maybe.

So it’s a horrible choice, the police may not be available to help you, but if you do defend yourself, or someone defends you a Demoncrat prosecutor may well try to ruin your life. Because to Demoncrats and leftists of all parties, the innocent don’t matter. Not really, they are a talking point, not an actual concern.

It’s all going to come down to how you choose to handle the fear. We may not have choices about the situations we find ourselves in. Sometimes we may, sometimes we may have gut hunches. But we should have a choice as to how we handle the fear.

which way will it go?

When Rights are Privileges

As you may, or not know, the United Nations has claimed there is no human right to self-defense.

Does a woman have a human right to resist rape or murder? Do people have a human right to resist tyranny? The United Nations Human Rights Council has said no – that international law recognizes no human right of self-defense. To the contrary, the Human Rights Council declares that very severe gun control – more restrictive than even the laws of New York City – is a human right.

Unless of course, one is a member of the U.N.

Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security. Measures taken by Members in the exercise of this right of self-defence shall be immediately reported to the Security Council and shall not in any way affect the authority and responsibility of the Security Council under the present Charter to take at any time such action as it deems necessary in order to maintain or restore international peace and security.”

I would maintain that this is because the U.N. thinks they are G-d. G-d has a different command.

“If someone rises to kill you, rise up to kill him first.” This one is an under 8 minute video.

Psalms 144:1

1 Praise be to the L-RD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.

As well as we are commanded to look out for the weaker or helpless.

Psalms 82:4

4 Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.

So, what has set me off on this? An incident that happened in formerly red state Texas. And maybe Texas is still a red state, Austin however, is not. If Texas had any sense they would expel Austin.

In July 2020, during the summer of riots for a man that overdosed on drugs, had a criminal record including pointing a gun at a pregnant woman’s stomach, a BLM/Antifa rioter decided it would be a great idea to point a loaded rifle at a soldier who was working as a ride share driver. Apparently BLM/Antifa scum thought he would be the only one armed. He guessed wrong. Sgt. Daniel Perry was armed. When his car was surrounded after he had dropped his passenger off, and aforementioned BLM/Antifa rioter pointed his rifle at Sgt. Perry, Sgt. Perry shot him. This seems sensible to me.

This will be the last sensible thing in this saga for some time.

The Travis county jury found Sgt. Perry guilty of murder. Unbelievable. But wait, there’s more.

Detective In Daniel Perry Self-Defense Case Says Soros-Backed Prosecutor Told Him To “Remove Exculpatory Information”

Fugitt said, “It became clear to me that the District Attorney’s office did not want to present evidence to the grand jury that would be exculpatory to Daniel Perry and/or show the witnesses statements obtained by the family of Garrett Foster and/or their attorneys were inconsistent with prior interviews such witnesses gave the police and/or the video of the incident in question.

And now we’re at the point where the adults are going to have to intercede.

Texas AG Paxton Slams Soros-Backed DA After Jury Finds Army Sergeant Guilty of Murder For Fatally Shooting Armed BLM-Antifa Protester in Self-Defense

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton slammed Soros-backed Travis County DA Jose Garza after a jury convicted a Texas soldier of murder for shooting a BLM-Antifa terrorist in self-defense.

A Texas soldier was found guilty of murder on Friday after Soros-backed District Attorney Jose Garza sought murder charges for an act of self defense during the 2020 George Floyd riots.

Texas AG Ken Paxton slammed the Soros prosecutor after Governor Abbott refused appear on Tucker Carlson’s show to speak on the case.

Apparently the State of Texas no longer recognizes the right of self-defense. @GregAbbott_TX is welcome to come on and discuss. pic.twitter.com/A7o5MvZTVy

Texas Governor Seeks to Pardon Army Sergeant Convicted of Killing Gun-Wielding Protester

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said he is seeking to pardon the U.S. Army sergeant who was convicted of shooting dead a man wielding a gun at him during a Black Lives Matter protest in 2020.

Abbott announced on April 8 that he will pardon Sgt. Daniel Perry, 37, who was working for Uber in Austin at the time, as soon as a request from the state’s parole board “hits my desk.”

I am working as swiftly as Texas law allows regarding the pardon of Sgt. Perry,” Abbott wrote on Twitter.

I would say our criminal justice system is well and truly jacked up. But what should we expect when you have people that actually vote for a communist that says he wants to send unarmed social workers out to crime scenes. Yep, that’s what Chiraq chose to replace Beetlejuice in Chicago, whom they wanted rid of due to the spiraling crime rates. Frying pan, meet fire.

There is a heck of a disconnect between the brain of a leftist and reality. Of course, if they used voting machines for the elections, who knows.

Chicago Mayor-Elect Brandon Johnson (D) told CBS News on Thursday his plan to tackle the city’s crime problem: Send more social workers to crime scenes.

Johnson, a staunch progressive, pointed to instances where police killed black men as evidence to say more police officers are not the solution.

While this is away from the topic of self-defense, it does I think give a clue to the mindset of the politicians on the left.

IT NEVER ENDS: Biden Regime Set to Unleash Scheme to Wipe Out Gasoline-Powered Cars

The Biden regime is determined to force Americans to swallow their radical “climate change” agenda by any means necessary.

FOX News revealed that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will announce the most restrictive standards in American history on gas-powered cars. The regulations will specifically target tailpipe emissions.

Under this plan, all Americans will likely be forced to buy electric vehicles, which is exactly what Biden wants.

Did this go through Congress? Senate? House? Hellloooo, did ya’ll vote for this? You’re our elected representatives, you answer to U.S. Did you sign off on this? Or did a tyrant just hijack your job in another blatant attempt to help China and limit the freedom of movement of American Citizens? The EPA, I don’t remember voting for them.

This is where I’m going with this, yes, there is a Second Amendment. However, if the Soros purchased D.A.s just ignore it (for some, not the protected class of course) and go ahead a prosecute even in a clear case of self-defense, does it matter? No ammo or guns were banned, it’s just if you defend yourself they will try to bankrupt you, or put you in jail for defending your life. If you’re not one of the BLM/Antifa rioters, or a repeat offender criminal, those they do catch and release.

Sometimes I read threads on Quora, there are discussion thread on all kinds of things. You might be reading a thread on a TV show, and the next thread under it is a question posted about “what would happen if I decided to take a gun away from someone I saw carrying” “Is there any reason I and some friends shouldn’t follow someone into a bathroom we know is carrying a gun and take it away from them”. “When will gun owners admit their right to have their weapons of death should not interfere with my right to feel safe”.

It is absolutely appalling to me the number of people that think they have the right to forcibly take private property from someone they don’t know, they aren’t doing anything wrong, and these moonbats think they are well within their rights to attack someone and steal from them. Thank you colleges, universities and MSM aka #FakeNews. If anything ever was a argument for concealed carry, it’s this sort of thing.

There is NO common ground to be found with these people. None.

Hating back

Sometimes I hear something that makes me cock my head, with a huh expression. Probably like how Shimshon looks when I ask him why my package is chewed open at the gate. I’ll explain.

I’m sure many heard growing up “We love the person, but hate the behavior”. Or “Hate isn’t the opposite of love, apathy is”. I had a discussion with a girlfriend about that a couple of days ago. My opinion has changed. I can see in some situations now where apathy has been a lazy response on my part to a situation where a different emotion would have been more correct and in line. So what brought all this up? A podcast. Lenny Goldberg has a radio show, Jewish Truth Bombs, that I try to catch, he has a lot to say that makes sense to me. This one was no exception. The relevant part is only about 19 minutes or so, the last couple are commercials.

In case you don’t want to listen, I’ll give you the parts I’m pulling from it, but it’s all good. The topic was Purim, and some elements are in it that are often glossed over. Something Comrade X alluded to in the comments on my last column. Lenny points out that in Kohelet (Ecclesiastes) Chapter 3

1 Everything has an appointed season, and there is a time for every matter under the heaven.

2 A time to give birth and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to uproot that which is planted.

3 A time to kill and a time to heal; a time to break and a time to build.

4 A time to weep and a time to laugh; a time of wailing and a time of dancing.

5 A time to cast stones and a time to gather stones; a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing.

6 A time to seek and a time to lose; a time to keep and a time to cast away.

7 A time to rend and a time to sew; a time to be silent and a time to speak.

8 A time to love and a time to hate; a time for war and a time for peace.

It says there is a time for hate. As much as a time for love, there is a time when hate is the appropriate response. He also points out that we are commanded to kill Amelek

The Torah lists two mitzvahs regarding Amalek:

To obliterate the nation of Amalek (timcheh et zecher Amalek).

To never forget the evil deeds Amalek did (zechor al tishkach)

Had they been wiped out, Haman wouldn’t have been around.

Several centuries later, after Shaul was crowned king, the prophet Shmuel ordered him to fulfill G‑d’s commandment thus:3 “Smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that is his. And have no pity on him; slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.”

Shaul gathered the Jewish people together and waged war against the Amalekites, slaying the entire nation and destroy­ing their property. However, “he had pity on Agag, and the choicest of the sheep and cattle…,”4 and brought them back with him. Shmuel severely reproached Shaul for this: “Because you have rejected the word of G‑d, He has rejected you as king.”5 Though Shmuel then killed Agag, Agag was able to father a child in the interval between his capture by Shaul and his death. That child was the ancestor of Haman.

Lenny points out Judaism is about knowing when to have mercy, and when to flip the attribute of mercy. That at times, the correct answer is to hate, or be cruel. If you are merciful to the cruel, eventually you will be cruel to the merciful. He says accepting the yoke of heaven is knowing the time for each attribute, and being willing to carry out that task, and that no, sometimes it’s not easy. That if you can’t hate Haman, the way you love Mordachai, if you can’t hate at the proper time, then you are just a nice guy. You’re a nice person, but that has nothing to do with accepting the yoke of the mitzvot. Lenny points out that Shaul didn’t kill Agag, and when Agag saw Shmuel approach he thought the death sentence had been lifted, seeing as how Shmuel looked all sweet and innocent. Shmuel proceeded to cut him into pieces with his sword. Sometimes the appropriate answer is hate. When the first day of self-defense was completed, The King asked Queen Esther “What else would you like?” Does Ester say, oh let’s all get along. Lets go out for supper. Nope, she says let us have another day of vengeance to wipe out the people the wanted to kill them all. And she wanted the 10 sons of Haman’s hung. Publicly. I love Queen Esther.

In the podcast Lenny refers to the attacks in Huwara, in case you haven’t heard, here are some salient points, there’s more info in the article.

Some facts you need to know about the murder of Israeli Jews, Palestinian Arab terrorism and Huwara, because they seem to have escaped the attention of your Western media and the Biden Administration who just met their Palestinian Arab counterparts in Aqaba, Jordan, and arranged to give them more guns while they castigate Israel for responding to increasingly deadly Palestinian Arab violence morally supported by the current Democrat Administration.

1. Palestinian Arab terrorists in the northern Samaria terror hub of Huwara murdered two brothers, Hillel and Yagel Yaniv. The Yaniv brothers were executed in a rain of bullets after the terrorists had rammed their vehicle into them before gunning them down as they sat trapped in their car.

2. The attack was predictable. In the month leading up to their murder, Palestinian Arabs carried out an average of two-three rock and Molotov cocktail attacks a day against Israeli cars in Huwara and on the Gilad route leading through the village.

3. Following the murder of the Jewish brothers, Huwara residents celebrated by handing out sweets. They also held an official firework celebration,

4. Among the main celebrants was the owner of a car and spare parts lot named Ayed Maharab. Maharab is a paroled terrorist who spent five years in Israeli prison. His Facebook page is filled with celebrations of terrorist attacks and of himself holding an AK-47. Maharab published a post following the Yaniv brothers’ murders celebrating the attack.

5. Following the murder of their friends and neighbors, and after seeing the Arab celebration of their murder, a number of young Israelis from surrounding villages entered Huwara and committed acts of vigilante violence. Among other things, they burned Maharab’s car lot. The scenes you saw of burning vehicles was Maharab’s spare parts lot. No building and no individual Arab was attacked or hurt by the aggrieved and angry friends of Hillel and Yagel. The claims of a death were lies.

The appropriate response came from Bezalel Smotrich:

The United Nations today (Thursday) condemned the statement of Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich that he would like to see the Arab village of Huwara, where two Jewish brothers were murdered on Sunday, “wiped out.”

Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, called Smotrich’s comments “irresponsible” and “unacceptable.”

This was far from the first attack in Huwara.

An inappropriate response came from a moonbat leftist named appropriately enough, Yaya Fink.

Esti Yaniv, whose sons Hillel and Yagel were murdered by a terrorist in the Arab village of Huwara on Sunday, has expressed her horror at the launch of a campaign of support for the residents of Huwara, the initiative of left-winger and Labor Party activist Yaya Fink.

Fink is collecting donations for what he defines as the “Huwara pogrom victims.” The “pogrom” referred to occurred several hours after the murders of the Yaniv brothers, when dozens of Jews converged on Huwara and set fire to cars in scrapyards, also causing fire damage to several buildings. According to uncorroborated Palestinian-Arab accounts, one person lost his life in circumstances that are unclear.

“Every day, I look down at the murderous village of Huwara where the murderer of my sons is still walking free, where they handed out pastries and celebrated after the murder,” Esti Yaniv said. “I was horrified to hear of this dreadful campaign, [launched] a day after many of the residents of Huwara celebrated after the murder of my sons.”

And just a few days later, Terror attack in Tel Aviv: Three people shot, terrorist eliminated Lather, rinse, repeat.

And for those on the left that like to engage in moral relativism, just sit tight. We have millions of illegal aliens in our country now that came from cultures that have a very different notion of what is acceptable and what is not. I’ve noticed that leftist outrage towards Israel will frequently result in a similar situation in America that the tolerant leftist find upsetting. Those that think pastries being handed out in America following the murder of an innocent American citizen is outrageous are fooling themselves.

Lenny notes in his podcast that the arabs aren’t the least concerned about any actions the IDF may take, they view the IDF as no deterrent at all. The Jewish citizens living near by? Them they are scared of. Good.

So let’s take a look at some things in America.

America’s Reichstag Moment

The article starts out talking about the start of WWII, but then gets into January 6th.. I found this very interesting because the writer’s father lived through Kristallnacht.

Let’s fast-forward to the events of January 6th, 2021. Even with the release of 40,000 hours of video from the day, there are many things that we do not know. It has been reported that President Trump suggested that the National Guard be stationed near the Capital because of his planned rally; this request was not acted upon or may have been actively turned down by Nancy Pelosi. The Capitol police, according to the recent interview of former Capitol police officer, Lt. Tarik Johnson by Tucker Carlson, was not briefed or prepared for what was obvious to all

Jan. 6 Proud Boys Trial Paused as Defendant Attorney Alleges FBI Altered Evidence

Here Are Five Horrific and Unforgettable Videos of January 6 Police Violence That Were Not Yet Picked Up in Tucker Carlson’s January 6 Capitol Hill Coverage This Week

EXCLUSIVE: Rasmussen Poll Results – Nearly Two-Thirds of Americans Believe the FBI Has Been Weaponized

Ya think? Duh.

And I haven’t even touched on the hearings going on about Covid, gain of function, the lying about cheap already available cures for it that were disregarded because if they had been put into use Tony Fauxci and his cabal of “doctors” couldn’t get the emergency use license for the experimental gene altering clot shots. The use of taxpayer money to fund gain of function, and Fauxci is still sending your money to Joe Xiden’s boss, China, I do believe. But not to be outdone, Hunter Xiden helped finance the bioweapons labs in Ukraine I think I’ve heard. Man, that would be so scary to have bioweapons labs right next door in Canada or Mexico. I mean seeing as how America handled Covid, what with putting Mom and Pop businesses out, forcing people into medical experiments they didn’t want and changing the definition of the word “vaccine”. Yeah, the way America handles that stuff would be enough to make any government a bit concerned, shall we say.

 

The perfect play swing

My point is this, the current federal government, and some state governments hate us, U.S. The federal law enforcement agencies under the misnamed DOJ, hate us. And I think if I’m intellectually honest with myself, I need to admit it. I’m not saying we can do much different at this point, unless you have a Congress Critter or Senator that is willing to listen, and then ask for the FIB, ATF to be de-funded and dis-banded. At this point to not do so is like voting to keep the brown shirts (and I don’t mean UPS) around. They offer nothing of value to the average law-abiding citizen.

I would maintain the appropriate response to these atrocities is hate. They do hate us, and they are willing to kill us. You could ask Roseanne Boyland or Ashli Babbitt…but.

Just as the idea of fighting back when attacked has been taught out of school children, the notion of appropriate hate is not really in our culture I don’t think. The things the left calls “hate” or “hateful” is usually free speech, or saying something they don’t like. Or giving evidence or showing video that destroys a leftist narrative. The left (demoncrat and RINO) is terrified by the thought of putting information out and allowing people to form their own thoughts and opinions. That is something they can’t abide.

There is a time, when hate is the appropriate response.

About Those War Crimes

I hear about Putin and his “war crimes”. No, I don’t think he’s a nice person, yes I think he does disappear people. But so does America. Want proof? January 6th prisoners. I can’t WAIT for the tape, all of it, to be made public. Much has already come to light. 15 FACTS on the Dozens of Federal Operatives Who Infiltrated the Trump Crowds on January 6th at the US Capitol

No, this one is about something else.

Biden Admin: Nordstream

Semour Hersh dropped this bombshell that many had long suspected, including at least me.

How America Took Out The Nord Stream Pipeline

Last June, the Navy divers, operating under the cover of a widely publicized mid-summer NATO exercise known as BALTOPS 22, planted the remotely triggered explosives that, three months later, destroyed three of the four Nord Stream pipelines, according to a source with direct knowledge of the operational planning.

Two of the pipelines, which were known collectively as Nord Stream 1, had been providing Germany and much of Western Europe with cheap Russian natural gas for more than a decade. A second pair of pipelines, called Nord Stream 2, had been built but were not yet operational. Now, with Russian troops massing on the Ukrainian border and the bloodiest war in Europe since 1945 looming, President Joseph Biden saw the pipelines as a vehicle for Vladimir Putin to weaponize natural gas for his political and territorial ambitions.

Asked for comment, Adrienne Watson, a White House spokesperson, said in an email, “This is false and complete fiction.” Tammy Thorp, a spokesperson for the Central Intelligence Agency, similarly wrote: “This claim is completely and utterly false.”

Pop quiz: The last time the Biden Crime regime told the truth about anything?

The article by Semour is a substack, but it’s free to read. He has a follow up The Crap on the Wall

That, is a war crime.

A couple of weeks ago I listened to a radio show that talked about some interesting bits of history. The whole show is maybe 45 minutes and is quite interesting. As some of it is history it will still apply, but in case you don’t want to listen I’ve put the salient points in.

There was an attempt at peace at the beginning with Zelensky and Putin and US stopped it. That is a war crime. Who is the US at war with? With all the talks from corrupt Lindsey Graham about regime change you have to wonder. But this could have been over in March or April of last year.

There was another attempt at peace attempted by Naftali Bennett. Bennett I guess kind of let it out that it was blocked by the west, then walked it back. Even he’s probably aware the Biden crime regime does not love Israel.

Israeli PM meets Putin in Moscow, then speaks with Zelenskiy by phone

Putin promised not to kill Zelenskyy, former Israeli prime minister says

Apparently Zelensky was less than happy with Bennett’s negotiation efforts. He’s probably more interested in getting monetary support from Israel. Who for darn good reason wants to stay amicable with Russia since Israel has to deal with hamass in Syria and good communication with Russia is necessary to prevent “incidents”.

If true, that Biden blocked a peace plan that could have stopped a war? That’s a war crime.

There have been 157,000 Ukrainians killed, 165,000 total. Ukraine had 37 million of which 4 million were the Russians in Eastern Ukraine that Ukraine has been trying to kill. Russia went in to save them. Russia lost has lost 18,000. I need to get word to the Donbas region to just call themselves “Part of the Greater Russia Project”. That hasn’t resulted in Zelenksy shelling parts of Oregon or putting political opposition in jail, or seizing the property of churches and shutting them down there. What’s in a name, right?

Biden’s puppet is getting aggressive and greedy about his bottle.

Zelensky slams Americans who don’t want to give more to Ukraine

The Biden administration just promised another $10 billion in economic aid to Ukraine, bringing the to-date sum up around $200 billion, with more likely to roll out in the coming months. But for Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenksy, that’s just not enough, and he has harsh words for Americans who’d like to keep their tax dollars here at home as opposed to using them to line Ukraine’s war chest.

So…..no money for East Palestine, in America. Just Ukraine, guess that’s why Beijing Biden was in Ukraine on President’s day, eh what?

So now for the bit of history. This bit comes from the radio show listed above.

Russians including Soviet Jews liberated Auschwitz, there were 261,000 killed liberating Auschwitz. 500,000 Jews served in the Soviet army, all of whom knew why they were there. Soviets immediately sent humanitarian aid to the survivors of Auschwitz, while the international red cross refused to help in anyway. The Soviets sent urgent messages to help with the survivors to the US and the UK and they were ignored. The idea of Germany sending tanks to Russia to fight the Russians are repulsive.

German is making deals to get gas from Senagal and Oman, but closest country they could get gas from is Israel and they won’t even talk to them. Apparently Germany still has a problem with Jews.

Putin is correct about de-nazification. This war was fomented by Barry Sotero, and his minions like Victoria Nuland and ignited and prolonged by Biden, not the Russians.

My buddy in Nicaragua sent this, and I thought it was interesting. It’s by Wayne Allen Root. Here’s Your Proof of a Rigged and Stolen 2020 Presidential Election

I’m not even talking about the emails publicly released by Elon Musk proving that the FBI and other national security agencies PAID Twitter to silence conservative voices and change the news feed. Our own government rigged the election. That’s now a fact.

The election of 2020 was rigged and fixed. We all know it. And Kari Lake’s stolen election in 2022 was even worse. The theft of Kari Lake’s Arizona election makes Bernie Madoff look like a small-time shoplifter.

But I’m not talking about any of that.

To me the proof the 2020 election was stolen is the state of the nation. Open your eyes. The consequences of a stolen election are all around us.

The supply chain is crippled. Highways, ports and infrastructure are crumbling. Blue states are banning trucks from the roads. Grocery prices are skyrocketing. Egg farms are burning to ground. Eggs cost $10 per dozen- if you can find them. Over 100 food plants have burned to the ground in the past year.

Trains are derailing. The East Palestine, Ohio train derailment may be the worst ecological disaster in U.S. history. Experts are calling it “our Chernobyl.” There is a mushroom cloud of deadly chemicals floating over the farm belt. Animals are dying. Fish are dead. People are sick. And it just happens to have poisoned hundreds of thousands of acres of prime Midwest farmland.

How do you take down a country like U.S.? From the inside, and I believe that’s a war crime as well. Treason at the least.

DC One-Upping “Gun-Free” Zones

Apparently these aren’t working well enough in Washington, DC.

So now they’re going to…

Yep, “murder free zones.”

The court challenges should be fun, as some idiots decide this is an unconstitutional endorsement of Judeo-Christian beliefs; never mind that they’re going to be posted by a non-governmental non-profit group.

If signs actually do any good (suuurre…) I’d suggest something like this:

IF YOU TRY TO
MURDER
SOMEONE IT IS
LEGAL
FOR THEM TO
KILL
YOU FIRST
Maybe that would get someone to pause for a second or two. Perhaps. For those who can still read.

Regarding the Biblical text: I’m no linguist, but some folks better at ancient languages than I have told me that “Thou shalt not kill” is a mistranslation. Apparently it should read “Thou shalt not murder,” because G-d and the ancient Jews knew the difference between murder and justifiable homicide (self defense), and had separate terms for each.

I’ve always wondered since if that mistranslation was deliberate on the part of religious and secular authorities who wanted to blur the difference, to deter peasants and other downtrodden killing tax collectors and other authoritarian thugs.

Inmate 4859

It was on September 19, 1940 that Captain Witold Pilecki used faked identity documents to be arrested and sent to Auschwitz. Yes, I’m late with this. Bear did a wonderful story on him, that’s the link, and apparently a group called Sabaton must be reading Bear’s columns.

Becaaaauuse did you know there’s a song for him? There is. It’s the second video. This first is a bit more background, not so much anything Bear hasn’t told us, and them apparently, but they do have more pictures of him. Captain Pilecki, not Bear.

And the song written about Captain Pilecki. As Bear said, total badass. I know this song is listed in the comments under Bear’s column, but as it’s the anniversary of his entry into Auschwitz it seemed like the date should be remembered for him.

The Power of One, Yom Yerushaylim and Memorial Day

One person, what can just one person do?

If you’re border patrol agent Jacob Albarado, you can borrow a shotgun from the barber who is giving you a haircut and go save your wife and daughter who are being held hostage at Uvalde’s Robb elementary school. And you’ll be saving a whole lot of other people in the process as well.

If you’re Sheriff Grady Judd of Polk County, you spend time keeping your county safe and crime free and then training others to protect school children. It’s interesting that after the FL legislators passed a bill putting additional safety measures in place that Broward County, home of Marjorie Stoneman Douglas, was the last school to put them in place. But Sheriff Judd speaks straightforward, and hopefully his flame will light many candles.

If you’re one woman with a pistol at a party in Charleston W.Va. you can save many lives.

And these are all amazing things, G-d can use any person anywhere to accomplish a miracle. But sometimes the miracles are so earth shattering, so ground breaking that normal sane humans can’t help but see the hand of G-d.

The 28th of Iyar (this year 29th May) we celebrate Yom Yerushaylim, Jerusalem day celebrating the reunification of Jerusalem in 1967. This was a miracle straight from the hand of G-d. While it cost much in the way of lives, the cost was far less than anticipated.

This is a really good backstory video with lots of excellent footage and maps showing the areas involved. It’s under 10 minutes. It opens with the famous words from Mordechai (Motta) Gur “”הר הבית בידינו The Temple mount is in our hands! Every time I hear that tears well up and sometimes they run down. Only G-d. If you’re one person and you’re Motta Gur? Well then. And it has horses in it.

One person? If you’re only one person and you’re Rabbi Shlomo Goren, you can capture Hevron with your driver. But he must have had angels riding with him after having blown his shofar on the Temple Mount, eh? If you’re only one person and you’re Rabbi Goren, amazing!

So after all that time, all that fighting all the loss of life, to regain the site of the Holy Temples, the place where G-d chose for his temples and you’re Moshe Dayan? Well, then you give it away.

Dayan’s first act on the Temple Mount, only a few hours after IDF Chief Rabbi Shlomo Goren blew the shofar and gave the Shehecheyanu blessing beside the Western Wall, was to immediately remove the Israeli flag that the paratroopers had raised on the mount.

Dayan’s second act was to clear out the paratroop company that was supposed to remain permanently stationed in the northern part of the mount. Dayan rejected the insistent pleas of the head of Central Command, Uzi Narkiss, who tried to prevent him from taking this measure. Narkiss reminded Dayan that Jordan, too, had stationed a military contingent on the mount to maintain order, and that long ago the Romans had done the same, deploying a garrison force in the Antonia Fortress that Herod had built near the mount. But Dayan was not persuaded. He told Narkiss that it seemed to him the place would have to be left in the hands of the Muslim guards.

Better to be Uzi Narkiss. Uzi may not have gotten it done, but he tried. But even for him, it wasn’t about G-d or religion, more culture or tradition I guess.

But Dayan wasn’t done.

Dayan, just a few hours after his first public announcement to the Israeli people about the holy places and particularly the Temple Mount, succinctly stated: “We have returned to the holiest of our places, never to be parted from them again….We did not come to conquer the sacred sites of others or to restrict their religious rights, but rather to ensure the integrity of the city and to live in it with others in fraternity.”

Typical leftist thinking. If we play nice, others will play nice with us.

Dayan’s most significant act on the Temple Mount, which sparked controversy over the years and was widely criticized, was to forbid Jewish prayer and worship there, unlike the arrangements that emerged at the Machpelah Cave in Hebron where there is also a functioning mosque.7 Dayan decided to leave the mount and its management in the hands of the Muslim Wakf, while at the same time insisting that Jews would be able to visit it (but not pray at it!) without restriction. Dayan thought, and years later even committed the thought to writing, that since for Muslims the mount is a “Muslim prayer mosque” while for Jews it is no more than “a historical site of commemoration of the past…one should not hinder the Arabs from behaving there as they now do.”

Because for him it was no more than a historical site, Dayan was a Kibbutznik, born and raised on a communist Kibbutz. His parents were not religious, he wasn’t and his children weren’t. For him that’s all it was. And when people lack G-d, and a relationship with the creator it keeps them from seeing the true beauty and value in the things G-d inspired or created himself. And that’s how Dayan came off the tracks.

It’s why we have people now that don’t see the beauty in the differences in men and women, how the two can compliment each other. It’s why people can’t comprehend that while there are viruses, he also put things out there that can cure them other than worshipping at the alter of the Golden Fauxi with his golden needle. At least I believe that.

In freedom people are allowed to have different opinions and freely debate idea.

But like Moshe Dayan, children today aren’t taught to recognize things of value, like freedom. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion and freedom to defend yourself and your family, freedom from medical tyranny. Those freedoms come from G-d. And if you don’t believe or accept there is a creator of the universe? Well, then.

G-d miraculously reunited Jerusalem, in his way, at his time. Which at the time looked like the tiny baby state of Israel was bound for destruction.

I pray he will unite our country, but not at the expense of freedom. Not because the bat rabid left have won the battle. I pray that he send Moshiach now, yesterday.

You see, I believe Moshe Dayan’s decision has consequences that affect our world even today. I can not help but wonder, had he not committed his act of idiocy, in my humble opinion, how different would our world be today?

Yeshayahu – Isaiah – Chapter 56

….

5 “I will give them in My house and in My walls a place and a name, better than sons and daughters; an everlasting name I will give him, which will not be discontinued.

6 And the foreigners who join with the Lord to serve Him and to love the name of the Lord, to be His servants, everyone who observes the Sabbath from profaning it and who holds fast to My covenant.

7 I will bring them to My holy mount, and I will cause them to rejoice in My house of prayer, their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be acceptable upon My altar, for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.

8 So says the Lord God, Who gathers in the dispersed of Israel, I will yet gather others to him, together with his gathered ones.

 

We are all just one person, but sometimes one person is enough. Sometimes many of the “just one persons” unite together, and I can not help but believe when we unite together to be a force of good, G-d will bless our efforts. But whether working alone or with others, be a force for good. May many people the world over wake up to the knowledge of G-d.

Israel and America, countless battles and whether it was the Battle of Bunker Hill or the Battle of Ammunition Hill, we can not let the sacrifices have been for nothing. Teach your children what they won’t learn in school,teach them to appreciate living in a moral G-dly country. And may both return to that soon.

This is well worth a few minutes of your time. A tip of my Stetson to fellow writer, Y.B.
