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!

America’s Armageddon

  America’s Armageddon   Armageddon is defined as “the site or time of a final and conclusive battle between the forces of good and evil” [1] We are indeed in the midst of a centuries long battle between good and evil, it is primarily a cognitive war that is occurring both domestically and globally.   This ongoing battle, in current state, brings to the forefront the real possibility of America’s Armageddon – not decades from now, but next week, next month, or in the next year! Why do I believe this?   Let me start with a premise that we must continually assess, imagine, and project where we are heading as a society.   We must ask, if we have no long-term strategy, then who is guiding our country and to what end?   If we have no strategy, we defer to the strategy that our adversary’s layout. We defer to their vision of the future. We defer to their driving the agenda – as we can only react. And reacting being a defensive maneuver, is a losing proposition.   So continued assess

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 enclaves.  One encla

America’s Armageddon - Part II - Coming to America!

  America’s Armageddon Part II Coming to America!   With the evil we have seen in the attacks by Hamas terrorists against Israel – we must understand and consider the reality that the USA is in no better position to defend or defeat such asymmetrical attacks. The ongoing Cognitive War is real – it is global, and it is domestic. We have just witnessed how Hamas is implementing this war in a multi-faceted strategy with their allies in Iran, Russia, and China to create multiple dilemmas not only for Israel, but the USA and the world. We are likely on the precipice of our Armageddon as I wrote about back in April ’23 America’s Armageddon (theinformationequilibrium.blogspot.com) .   It is time to wake-up the silent majority, to prepare for worst case scenarios, as we have seen the abysmal failure of our national’s security apparatus to alert us to 9-11, to covid (aka China Flu), and now to this attack. It is obvious we cannot look to our federal elements to warn or preclude such a
