Merry Christmas & The Blessing of Freedom








Larger text below - 
This Christmas - the one gift you should be forever grateful for, and thank the many who who gave this gift via their ultimate sacrifice is #FREEDOM.


The balance of the Information Equilibrium© remains tilted towards freedom and democracy, yet there are many challenges we face as a nation and individuals - here in the USA, and abroad. Passing on this great gift we call Freedom  to other generations requires diligence.

For those born in the USA or who are naturalized citizens, count your blessings, do not take freedom for granted, nor become complacent.  And, remember to fully take advantage of this wonderful opportunity we have in America.

What's ironic is the many who immigrated here understood what freedom means and the opportunities our country offers. Those of our greatest generation did as well, for they sacrificed greatly to retain it.

Unfortunately a large percentage of our population seems to not appreciate or understand that they are truly privileged.  Once here, born or other, the opportunities are open to all, with the primary limitation being oneself.  The American Dream remains a reality.

So - if your feeling a bit down this holiday season - just watch how despots use intimidation or social credit scores to control, tune into Hong Kong, monitor the masses fleeing Syria, etc. and then remember the gift you've been handed that billions of people who would give all for what we've been blessed to receive!

The Manchurian President

T he Manchurian President The way to crush the bourgeoisie [ the middle class] is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation [1] - Lenin   My opinion - As a former intelligence analyst and practitioner with over thirty-years of experience in national security across multiple executive departments, intelligence agencies, and defense organizations and services - is that President Biden is not only compromised but exemplifies the ultimate Manchurian President.  I also see him as a traitor to our nation – plain and simple. His actions and deeds, controlled by those we do not yet see, are purposefully destroying our democracy, our legal system, our freedoms, independence, and our republic.  I use Lenin’s quote – as it exemplifies the progressive left’s tactics, using today’s information-age technologies, in concert with our adversaries to destroy our nation, advance their vision of tyranny, ultimately to subjugate the people into pre-defined enclav...

Hades and Harris – What’s the Difference? Part I of II. America is Dying from Within

  Hades and Harris – What’s the Difference? Part I of II America is Dying from Within What is the difference between the Kamala, who is now the democrat nominee for president, and hades? Well, to be frank, not much. If we consider what a Harris administration would do to America, has she not already much of that with Biden. If she is elected, you’ll see hell on earth – but it will take form in America. We must believe what we see, not what we hear or are led to believe by the deceitful. The best way to do that is to look at the policy impacts of Harris and Biden, and understand they are only a beginning if Harris and Waltz are elected. But before I focus on the actions, intent, and the devastating impacts of the Democrat’s policies on Americans let us look brief look at their nominees. Their policies are represented by the most radical leftist presidential ticket ever. A presidential and vice-presidential nominees anointed without an election, without the public voting, i...

Who’s Left Holding the Bag – The Progressives Playbook

 Who’s Left Holding the Bag – The Progressives Playbook One has to wonder why Americans haven’t yet figured out the progressive’s playbook when it comes to illegal immigration. It’s like watching the train bearing down the track, the victims (the legal American citizens) are on the track but not tied down. They need only to take a simple act to avoid being run over by the train, like stepping to the side, but for some ungodly reason – they don’t.  The train in this case is illegal immigration, and the act they “could’ve” taken is to vote differently. But they don’t? Not even after all of the progressive candidates telegraphed their intent to open the borders, and worse, give free healthcare, education, and phones to any illegal crossing the border. It doesn’t matter if they’re infected with the China Flu, a felon, a child sex trafficker, a Chinese male of military age, or even an ISIS recruit – the message is come one, come all.  The cognitive dissonance is astounding, as...
