Storming the Reichstag – Another False Flag by the Government?


QUESTION: Hi Mr. Armstrong,
I followed the Berlin protest and was so happy that people are finally waking up, however, today, the whole mainstream media narrative in Germany is….
“Anger after (whatever group) tried to storm the Reichstag building!”
And that is all they bring on every news channel. I never watch mainstream media, but even radio, every 30 minutes they have to talk about a the people who tried to storm the Reichstag.
Are people that stupid?
If the mainstream media wanted to smear mother Teresa, they would plant someone to push her, harass or threaten or whatever and with cameras ready, film her angry or scared reaction and push the narrative that she is a monster. Without a doubt it would work.
They are focussing on one aspect of the demonstrations in Berlin and painting everyone with the same brush. Right wing nuts who want to take over the government.
Like they did in March when it was more known what Bill Gates is up to.
The media here in Germany had a smear campaign and laughed about how absurd it was…the tactic was to say, in a condescending way, “yes these crazy conspiracy theorist somehow believe that …
1. Bill Gates wants to depopulate the planet
2. Was banned for experiments in India
3. Wants us all chipped (the above 3 are true)
4. And THEY believe he is a reptile (which is so stupid no one would believe it)!
AND with that they smear 3 facts with an outrageous bogus statement and it automatically takes away the any validity of the 3 truthful facts.
The press and mainstream media truly are the enemy of the people.
It is so annoying to see and so many people are so easily fooled.
Is it really that easy to fool the masses? We will be herded and chipped and digital money will happen. I lose so much faith when I see what they pump out on mainstream propaganda channels worldwide.
Do people not think for themselves anymore? The lies seem and misinformation seem so obvious and almost expected!

ANSWER: The few people that stormed the Reichstag were most likely hired to do so in order to discredit the entire movement. It was less than 100 people out of hundreds of thousands. This is a standard operating procedure. The government creates that story and then they are on the phone to the press who only report that to discourage others from ever joining a march. The press is in on this and they are doing everything in their power to subjugate the people. This type of movement ends only in bloodshed.

Let us not forget that what happened in Germany on February 27, 1933, was another attempt by the government to justify suppressing the people. They argued that a sizeable portion of the parliamentary building in Berlin, the Reichstag, went up in flames from an arson attack by Communists. This justified the entire Nazi movement. It was staged as this one smells exactly the same. There were so few people involved in this incident that they were probably hired.

In the United States, pallets of bricks were being bought and delivered around cities by Acme Brick Company, which was bought in 2000 by Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway. Perhaps that is a coincidence and many blamed Buffet because he is in league with Gates and was part of his secret meeting to reduce the population of the world. Perhaps Buffet wishes he were an Egyptian Pharoh who when he died, everyone else in his court was killed to assist him in the journey for the afterlife. Perhaps he wants to reduce the population sho he too has some company given he is now 90 years old. But there is no question the bricks came from Buffets’ company.

The fact that someone was buying all these bricks to assist rioting and looting is clear evidence that someone is funding these riots and they are not simply people on the street. Nobody will dare investigate because the source is obviously political. Snopes, the pretend left-wing fact-checker, claimed this was “mostly false” because “It is possible that protesters themselves could have strategically placed bricks in easily accessible spots to facilitate causing property damage, though no evidence proved that was indeed occurring.” Who is paying for all these bricks? It seems this would have been a very easy thing to investigate – subpoena their sales records at Acme. Instead, they only denied that Buffet or Gates instructed them to deliver the bricks.

“Acme Brick Company is in the business of building, not destroying,” the group said, adding that it “has not done, and will not do, anything to intentionally promote violence.”

“Neither Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, nor anyone else at Berkshire Hathaway directed us to position brick for an unlawful purpose,” Acme added.

Notice what they are doing for they only denied Buffets or Gates while protecting the buyer. The press calls everyone accusing Acme are conspiracy nuts. Nevertheless, they avoided just answering the question. Who paid for the bricks? It is highly doubtful that anything would trace to Buffett or Gates. They are not that stupid to allow a trail. So who paid for the bricks?

If we ever really had honest investigations, we will find out that this storming of the Reichstag and the buying of these bricks will all trace to those seeking to gain political power.

Kennedy’s Speech in Berlin


RNC Convention Part 2


The Republican convention was much better than the strange, masked, virtual show the Democrats put on. Even some analysts on CNN admitted it. Trump should also get a larger bounce than what Biden received.

The wrap up day began with a Democrat. Kamala Harris decided to stage a ‘prebuttal’ to Trump’s speech later in the evening. Why Sleepy Joe didn’t do it is anyone’s guess. My guess is the Democrats want him talking as little as possible. Even Pelosi doesn’t want him debating Trump.

Trump broke precedent and made his speech at the White House. The Democrats wondered if he broke the law. Look for Pelosi to begin another round of impeachment hearings over it. It was unusual for Trump to use the White House as the background, but this has been a very unusual year with Bolshevik traitors trying to remove him from office, so I say we should give him a pass.

The president’s speech was easily twice as long as Biden’s and it was also more effective. Many of us conservatives want to know he’s still committed to draining the swamp as well as keeping America as his primary focus. Nationalism is needed to balance out his opponent’s globalism. We needed to hear that someone cares about our rights—especially our First and Second Amendment ones. He cares about all races and wants us to prosper and have jobs. Trump remains our last, best hope to maintain our Republic.

During the convention, some NBA players decided to stage a boycott. That’s their right of course, but it further damages the NBA, which has already been politicized by the left. What should be entertainment and a welcome distraction from the virus and violent protests is gone. I stopped watching the NBA after they genuflected to communist China. If the players are upset about a black man getting shot, they should play and donate their capacious salaries to the family.

We’ve already lost baseball (this season was a joke) and we’ll probably lose the NFL, too. Good riddance to all professional sports if they all want to take knees to our flag while turning their venues into political fields for protest.

Trump wants to return to the America I knew when I was younger. He may be the last hope against a rapidly unfolding dystopian future.

British View of US Elections


COMMENT #1: Hello Marty; I hope all is well. Shame you are not here to see how barmy [crazy]  London has become. Just wanted to say, your forecast on BREXIT was correct against all the polls here which said it would fail. I think your computer will be correct again with Trump. We really need him to defend the entire world against this Gates coup. I wish I could vote for this election is really a world referendum on Gates.

KL (from London)

COMMENT #2: Have the liberal democrats shot themselves in the face?

Hi Marty

This might be a strange subject heading, however, I believe it to be very true. The extreme left of the party, which now seems to be the party, are so inextricably tangled in their own hate of Trump, that they see nothing else. They are clearly not taking a few steps back and taking a look at the bigger picture.

I believe they decided long ago that making the country ungovernable was a good gamble and would play into their hands. The powers that be decided to open Pandora`s box, assuming the chaos and anarchy they released they could control. More so I believe they thought that if they lost control, it would blow back on Trump and not them. They assumed/ hoped in cities like Seattle and Portland, that they could get a fatal reaction from Trump – the USA version of Tiananmen Square, where they could say, gotcha, and milk it and others, through to election day. I would posit that quite the opposite has occurred, the law of unintended consequences has bitten them hard.

They have been baiting Trump but largely he has not moved. Quite cleverly he has made this the problem it is – a democrat controlled city/ state problem. For nearly 90 days democrats from Mayors, to Governors, to Senators and their left wing media mouth pieces, have all relentlessly called for defunding the police, openly encouraged rioting and looting and refused to prosecute looters. At best they have just said nothing. The public are not as stupid as they think and they realise they are complicit. It is very telling that CNN came out and stated Biden must say something – and the next day he did, what about the previous 88 days? Is it coincidental that even in biased polls, that in the 3 weeks since VP Harris was announced amid escalating violence that Biden has plunged 10pts in the polls. I get the feeling the Democrat leaders are in a panic, they can feel and see this election and any slim chance they had of winning evaporating in front of them, hence their more and more desperate attacks and ploys.

Official polls now show that at least 12% of republican voters actually blatantly lie about their intentions. Who can blame them, these days wearing a MAGA cap could get you in ICU, or fired from your job. A question, how many certified democrat voters are also lying. Take these points and the ridiculous oversampling these polls do to try and get the required results, that the ‘people’ want to see. It is quite plausible that the REAL figure could have as much as a 25 point swing and that in reality Trump has a massive lead. Are the Dems making the 2016 Hillary mistake all over again and believing their own BS.

People talk about the silent majority being pro-Trump. Combine that with the noisy minority of liberal Dems and you have polls which the Dem leadership should actually be terrified of and I believe they are.

If things are allowed to proceed relatively normally, I would suggest that this will be one of the largest landslide wins for Trump, in presidential history. If the Dems even get remotely close, then the cheating they will have pulled off will be truly biblical in scale.

I am not even an American and will not be voting. However, what I see every day and what is happening on a global scale as the far left continues with their great reset coup – I believe Trump is the last chance the world has to prevent our descent into a zero freedom world of anarchy and death.

Kind Regards

PD (from UK)

REPLY: It is very interesting all the pro-Trump comments I am getting from around the world. It certainly seems as though externally people see what is at stake on a grand global scale. I do think we are witnessing the same problem with the polls pre-BREXIT in Britain as we are seeing here with Biden v Trump. The hostility of calling those in favor of BREXIT “racists” is certainly the same hostile tactic here in America. In Britain, most of the Indian community voted for BREXIT on the grounds that they needed skills and language to gain entry to Britain. In discussions with friends there in the Indian community, they saw this as an insult to them to suddenly allow people in from the Middle East with no skills or language. Trump won the Spanish vote in 2016 for the very same reason. They came here legally and saw it as unfair to just allow illegal entries into the United States that ruined their reputation.

The assumption that one can call someone who votes for Trump or BREXIT a racist and the assumption that all Spanish support wholesale illegals crossing the border is absurd. This is incredible stereotyping which seems to be racist in and of itself.

With respect to the Democrats seemingly supporting the Black Lives Matter, aside from the fact that Schumer is not wearing a mask and Pelosi has her’s down, all this nonsense about defunding the police is really questionable if the Democrats are not deliberately trying to send the country into anarchy. Insofar as the very issue behind Black Lives Matter is that police have no respect for Blacks because they are immune from prosecution, that is something the Democrats could fix in 15 minutes. The immunity was created by the Supreme Court and it is clearly unconstitutional for it simply means that government employees are ABOVE the law which is a denial of Equal Protection. The Democrats can simply legislate a bill that removes immunity for police and prosecutors – but they do not. They are instead exploiting the black community.

Trump is very popular among blacks for he is the first president to start to address the abuse of the legal system.  About 3,100 inmates have been released from federal prisons across the country because of a change in how their good-behavior time calculation. The blacks in prison were full of hope when Obama became preside4nt. They thought he would address their unfair treatment. He did nothing for them and he actually deported more Mexicans than any other president by far more than 10x.

The Democrats are exploiting the Black Lives Matter and could change the laws so that blacks, who sold crack, got far more time than anyone selling just cocaine – a favorite in Washington and Wall Street (oh sorry, I’m not supposed to say that). About 1,691 people convicted of crack cocaine offenses also have received sentence reductions. Trump is the only President who has been trying to reform the justice system.

What happens When the Democrats Lose?


History has been thrust upon us. We will either be a witness to a greater America or the greatest catastrophe this nation and the world has ever experienced

What If Democrats Lose?

The Democrats sense they are going to lose this election. There are stark indications. First, Biden is nowhere to be found. He hides in his basement being hidden from reality by watching CNN. Then Hillary tells Biden not to concede the election under any circumstances and then Pelosi advises Biden not to debate Trump, “It will only legitimize Trump as President and give Trump an opportunity to make you look bad.”

There are also reports that the Democrats are going to cheat in Trump’s favor so as to report that Trump is conducting a fraudulent election. They can prove it, of course, because they did it.

The Democrats have made a Devil’s bargain

If the Democrats lose this election, it is not difficult to imagine that they will go nuts, slash out at anything that moves in the wrong direction. The mobs are sufficiently riled and waiting for orders.

To partly paraphrase Victor Davis Hansen: The Democrats have made a Devil’s bargain. Marxists under Sanders provide the anarchy and chaos while Democrats watch their cities burn, having agreed to do almost nothing. They will keep COVID-19 alive as long as possible to keep the economy down. Never mind the human toll. When Democrats win, and at the time they were convinced they would win, Sanders will halt the rioting, having delivered a destroyed middle class, a badly wounded America. The Democrats will take the credit, looking like peacemakers. Sanders will then demand payment, a socialist America ready to be delivered to the globalists. And he will get it.

I believe the Democrats are in a pickle. They can’t reverse course and know that after the election or before, when the Durham investigations are over, there will be arrests and a call for their disbandment.

It started as a race struggle, accusing almost everyone of racism, but it was a feint. It now has morphed into a battle of the classes. A true Bolshevik Revolution. The battle to destroy the middle-class, the essence of America and Americanism. Marxism can never survive in a country with a strong middle-class. These are the hard working, and above all, self-reliant people that make America what it is, filled with opportunity for upward mobility, allowing people the fruit of their labor, a basic Biblical concept. The Left must eradicate them for Marxism to take hold. The globalists have demanded it, the Left has promised to deliver it. California has been the most successful with 4 million of their middle-class having exited these past 15 years.

The Democrat Speaker of the House calls Republicans ‘enemies of the state’. Biden says that President Trump wants more violence

The division between political camps is growing wider every day, if that is possible, but only one party is widening the distance. The Democrat Speaker of the House calls Republicans ‘enemies of the state’. Biden says that President Trump wants more violence. These accusations make no sense, of course, but they make it easy for us pundits to figure out Democrats. If you always translate what they say in opposite terms you will find their truth. When Pelosi says Republicans are enemies of the state, it is the opposite. When Biden says Trump wants more violence, it is the opposite. When Democrats say that Trump is working with the Russians, it is the opposite. They make it so easy.

Mobs are murdering people while private and public property is being destroyed. Families have lost their livelihoods. COVID-19, an historically minor pandemic, has been allowed to infect our society, shutting down the greatest economy we have ever seen. The human cost of expanding the power of Democrats grows daily, but they remain willing for hard-working Americans to pay the bill.

But now, the mood of the American people is beginning to change. Lest the polling organizations look foolish, they are forced to show the changing emotion of the country going against them. Once again, the Democrats have gone too far and took too big a bite.

There is no greater threat to evil than an aroused American public. We are beginning to see it. No more turning cheeks. No more being mere spectators. No more watching hoodlums attack innocent people. If the government will not or cannot protect you, you must decide to protect yourself and your family. Evil will always back off when confronted with equal or greater force.

If you don’t like what you see, wait until October

Don’t think it can’t happen here. It is happening here. The Left has thought of everything…a pandemic to shut down the economy, mandatory face masks that psychologically turn people into faceless sheep, Trump rallies halted, race riots because several Blacks resisted arrest resulting in the police being neutralized, giving the rioters carte blanche.

If you don’t like what you see, wait until October. This is not the America as we knew it. There are forces at work that will do anything to rid themselves of Donald Trump. And they don’t care about you. The police have been effectively neutered, are under siege and most likely will just show up after the fact to pick up the bodies left by the mob.

We have to decide that we will not be led as sheep to the slaughter.

For the most part, you will be dealing with a mob. A mob is nothing but a dangerous, brainless herd. A mob will do things the individual taking part would never think of doing. A mob does not consider consequences, it has no empathy, and certainly hasn’t thought of any alternatives.

You must defend yourself. How you do that is your affair. Stay away from any crowds. Stock up on groceries. If the Leftists go postal, the trucks will stop rolling. Find out what kind of self-defense laws your state has. They will either be Stand Your Ground, Castle Doctrine, or Duty To Retreat. Vermont is listed as having ‘Other Defense Laws’. States like Montana, Wyoming, New Hampshire, and 23 other states have Stand Your Ground Laws where a person has no duty to retreat before using deadly force. A Castle Doctrine state generally will allow deadly force in one’s home or car. A Duty To Retreat state is the most restrictive of self-defense. They require you to retreat no matter where you are, IF POSSIBLE. States like New York, Massachusetts, and Wisconsin are Duty To Retreat states. Do your homework and learn your particular states’ defense laws. They do change.

There is room enough for everyone in this country, but no room for traitors

We must not be driven down this path by scheming politicians, a sanctimonious and ignorant media, and cigar smoking men in dark places whose only interest is garnering more power and treasure.

We need to put this uprising to bed. We must decide that to remain as divided as we are will ultimately destroy this nation and millions of lives. If you think this all sounds irrational, again, wait until October. We can only hope and pray that thinking Americans on both sides of the political fence will find common ground and help put down this rebellion.

The Southern Democrat uprising in 1860 saw much pounding of chests and visions of glory. Four years later that glory faded with only death, suffering, and destruction enduring. There is room enough for everyone in this country, but no room for traitors.

History has been thrust upon us. We will either be a witness to a greater America or the greatest catastrophe this nation and the world has ever experienced. Without America, there will be no where else to go.

 

Getting The Word Out


Bless you, Sara Carter for getting this message to all of us now flailing about in deep and dangerous waters

Getting The Word Out, Sara Carter

We’ve been left sitting in a mob-crazed dark by the globalist leftists.  Cyber bullies keep us from crying out, to the world,  keep coming up with new ways to keep the conservative voice muzzled, adding mental and physical discomfort to the mandatory masks forced upon the masses by a media-hyped Covid-19.

Not only do they want us all to think that we are going to die, if not from a pandemic that media refuses to let go, but torn apart, limb by limb by the mobs out on the streets.

Power-seeking Democrats have taken us out into deep

Power-seeking Democrats have taken us out into deep, shark-infested waters, leaving us there to fend for ourselves.

That is the state of affairs as we wait for a November 3 Election that may not even happen.

But Sara Carter has arrived with a life raft bearing a message the Conservative Voiceless need to hear.

JAMES WOODS:  “Please watch and act. If we act together, they can’t stop us.”

SARA CARTER: I have an important message for you, please watch: video

“Social Media is trying to trample on our ability for free speech”

“It’s been really tough.

“Feels like I can’t reach anybody right now on Twitter or anywhere, even though I have 1.3 million followers.  Its been very difficult.

“Look, we saw what happened at the end of the RNC convention, our streets are still filled with rioters.  We see the hypocrisy of the left, the rise of socialist and marxist values, that we’ve never seen in this country—trying to smash down the principles, the foundation that make our country great.

“Social Media is trying to trample on our ability for free speech.

“We are the silent majority now and we are going to start speaking up.

“Let’s take some action together.

“Let’s speak up,  let’s help one another.’

“Let’s start helping each other, getting a call to action going.

“Let’s do what we need to to to get our voices heard.”

WE WILL WIN AGAIN in 2020

Bless you, Sara Carter for getting this message to all of us now flailing about in deep and dangerous waters.

Thank You for the reminder that all is not lost because all is NEVER lost with God in his Heaven.

We know in our hearts that the gang-up of the mainstream and social media suppressing conservative voices failed last time out when they tried to hoodwink the masses in 2016.

Treading water, Canada Free Press felt alone until we got Sarah’s message.  In the 2020 gang-up, the voices of even our commenters are being suppressed, their citizenship compromised.  (Thank You, Totsy,  Tony, John Minn and so many others for posting that it is not CFP’s fault.)

Conservative news sites, commenters everywhere: The mainstream and social media cannot possibly keep your message from getting out.

As long as your readers continue to find you, the media is only whistling past the graveyard.

History has already proven that we won in 2016.

WE WILL WIN AGAIN in 2020.

God bless us—one and all!

We the People call for the President to end the Coronavirus National Emergency

Statistics reveal the coronavirus has run its course. With mortality rates and cases numbering far below ANY historic pandemic, it continues to decline. Outbreaks are well met with common sense hygiene, masks proving ineffective and hazardous to the wellness of healthy individuals.

Ending the National Emergency will:

• Remove need for mail-in votes for the 2020 election that is vulnerable to fraud.

• Encourage businesses, schools, churches, government offices, interstate travel to open without restriction, removing Congress’ need to allocate more relief funds.

• Focus law enforcement on deterring criminal activity including revolt, rioting, arson, looting, murder and illegal political schemes.

• Halt restrictions of 1st Amendment rights to exercise religion, speech, assembly and commerce.

Social Justice Warriors Dying For Neo Liberal Cult


Ochlocracy, or Mob Rule, Will Be Democrat’s Downfall

Social Justice Warriors Dying For Neo Liberal Cult

Persons are dying across USA in pursuit of social justice goals, needlessly losing lives for poor decision-making, driven by false values. These folks put themselves in harms way following a new religion which encourages reckless self-endangerment to publicly highlight their woke state.

Woke Religion
In fact, the comparison between the new liberal religion and the Bible could not be starker. For the Marxist Woke Religion demands personal confrontations to demand misanthropes cease racist, sexist or capitalistic monstrosities or suffer, including physical attack. And so Woke Religion adherents are making a dramatic public display of their leftist piety, drawing them into ill-advised peril.

Woke v. Christ
Contra, Christianity has no demand for public confrontations of non-believers. Nor is there a call for revenge or violence for wrongdoers. Instead, Christian theology has a strong element of pacifism and states personal justification is divinely derived. Believers don’t have to prove righteousness by battle.

Social Justice Warriors in Action
In the recent Kenosha, WI shootings, a young man running down the road with a long gun was shouted out as someone who had just shot others. In response, a number of unarmed men began to chase him. As the runner fell, dropping his weapon, a few men converged on him, one fighting for the weapon and kicking him. As the young man gathered back his gun, he rolled over and began shooting.

SJW Self-Sacrifice
The shots rang out, men fell, and yet astonishingly, unarmed men kept rushing the shooter and three or four were wounded or killed. Why would unarmed men attempt to tackle one with a loaded gun fleeing after shooting others? The woke feel the need for dramatic, public excoriation of wrongdoershoping to be leftist heroes while fighting oppression. A theological explanation would include that the Woke religion, being earth bound, demands immediate proof of fealty and a tertiary delivery of justice.

Pelosi’s Ochlocracy

Nanci Pelosi, US Speaker of the House, when questioned about the rights of crowds tearing down statues, indicated she was disinterested, but accepted the inherent justice of such decisions. This is Ocholoracy, or Mob Rule. Karl Marx, Pelosi’s thought leader called criminals, beggars and vagabonds the “lumpenproletariat,” in his “Eighteenth Brumaire.” Generally, Democrats appear to accept the “wisdom of the mob,” claiming their reactions are part of public justice.

Portland SJW Martyrs
Earlier, in Portland, Ore, several Social Justice Warriors confronted an apparently deranged man on public transport for publicly insulting Islam. In response, the man stabbed both, killing one. So, how necessary was this confrontation? What did it achieve? Was the death of this SJW a monument to Woke Religion? Do SJWs believe they will be protected in public conflict by their personal righteousness?

CONCLUSION
Is Woke Religion a cultic public menace? Andrew Sullivan wrote, “We have a cult of social justice on the left, a religion whose followers show the same zeal as any born-again Evangelical.” Observing riots across America, one concludes millions are adherents of the Woke Religion. This includes violence borne of Antifa and BLM. But if the Left does not openly take control of this Marxist horde, and demand they stand down from public revenge, there will be no end to the open worship, defense of and bloodletting associated with this Ochlocratic menace. Mob Rule, wedded to this new cult, will bring a level of terror and violence reminiscent of the French Revolution.

John Gillespie Magee, Jr., Touching the Face of God

Touching the Face of God, John Gillespie Magee, Jr., High Flight

Shortly after the destruction of the space shuttle Challenger and the death of its crew, President Ronald Reagan recited the following poem to grieving Americans and friends around the world.

“High Flight”

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds – and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of – wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew –
And, while with silent lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand and touched the face of God.

What inspired Pilot Officer John Gillespie Magee, Jr. to write High Flight?

Many Americans remember these words but few know much about the author, John Gillespie Magee, Jr., an American Pilot Officer who served with the Royal Canadian Air Force.  Born to missionary parents in Shanghai, China in 1922, John’s father was American; his mother was British.

John arrived in the U.S. in 1939 and earned a scholarship to Yale, yet he soon dropped the pursuit of higher education for enlistment in the RCAF in September 1940.  He graduated as a pilot and was sent to England for combat duty in July 1941.

Historians are unclear of the exact date but in either August or September 1941, Pilot Officer Magee composed “High Flight” and sent a copy to his parents. Several months later, on December 11, 1941 his spitfire collided with another aircraft over England and Magee crashed to his death.  He was just then 19 years of age.  His remains are buried in the churchyard cemetery at Scopwick, Lincolnshire.

What inspired Pilot Officer John Gillespie Magee, Jr. to write “High Flight?”  The answer is unknown, but conjecture is easy.  Who among us has ever gazed at the heavens and not wished to touch the face of God?

 

The Subtle Poison of Political Correctness


Remember how it started: a contrived suggestion to be more welcoming and accepting of people from other countries

Tony Mangan image

Re-Posted from the Canada Free Press By  —— Bio and ArchivesAugust 28, 2020

The Subtle Poison of Political CorrectnessHas political correctness changed the way many Americans address each other?

It seems that Barack Obama forewarned us about his plans to fundamentally transform America. Unfortunately, very few were able to read between the lines.

One of the more obvious tactics was to change the assignment of the title “racist” and take it from a mostly benign, but rude, expression to a serious character assassination.  Of course because he was the first Black president folks took that name seriously with a bit of fear.

At the moment, anyone identifying another by race or color, even though the identification is made in the context of what is being discussed at the time, the general population became very cautious in choosing their words, regardless of not having a biased bone in their bodies.  White people did accept being identified as a privileged White or a “White guy,” and took no serious exception to it because it was assumed we should be ashamed of what we are.

People of color who resisted playing that game, received the title of “Uncle Tom”, even if they’re a normal person and do not present themselves as a member of a previously enslaved race. There is, of course no mention of modern day slavery in the Middle East. One can only wonder where the slave drivers and hatemongers of today are spreading the same plague of slavery today.

I have spoken to numerous people whose take on “Press One for English” is a petty gripe in the face of today’s problems. However, make no mistake about why you are forced to press one for English, when you call certain places. One of the most heinous of these is medical groups where you’re needing to discuss health care issues, but cannot do so unless you press one. In my opinion that is not only a racist requirement but, more pointedly, a dictatorial demand. In a country like ours, one that is welcoming to law-abiding individuals who seek to become citizens and join Americans as one of them, should not have to start out with the same bitter taste of a dictatorship which mimics the one they left behind.

Remember how it started: a contrived suggestion to be more welcoming and accepting of people from other countries. Of course, it evolved into a negative title of who you are if you refused to comply in the application of the “kindness” practice to people here illegally.  Home-grown citizens, such as non-whites, evolved into a breach between races in our country, regardless of all being Americans.

American Indians became Native Americans regardless of not identifying those who were here before them. Be assured that this is not to suggest that one should be offended at the subdivision of races, in particular: Whites (regardless of shade)  African Americans, Hispanics, et al In moments of doubt for purposes illusive to logic, we become whites, blacks, browns, and a myriad of others. “PC” begat gays and soon after lesbians of all colors, but designated as whatever their sexual preferences are. Soon after, the wonder of transgender even among children so young they could not yet be designated except by their chromosomes and the formation of genitalia.

Some depraved PC groups have managed to bring the concept into kindergarten classes in the public school system.  Soon, drag queens and pedophiles initiated a process of distortion in the minds of these yet-to-be-developed babes.  This was certainly not for the sake of mentally impacted children rather to bring acceptance for unaccepted

Look at what has become of the PC hyper-think of supposed kindness, that now dominates conversations to the point that simple chats can go from one meaning to another that then become offensive and “racist.”
