Vote for Leadership!

The Time to Vote for Politicians is Over.

No change will enslave us to the death of a thousand cuts by the Debt of the Deep State. It is time for us to shape up or lose our Country.

We are now in a Different World — We cannot trust “the government, as-is;” We need to learn about “Leadership” and tell the difference between “Being Managed” and “Being Led.” Image, By John Kennicutt, U.S. Marine Corps, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons.

All Marine soldiers learn about leadership with discipline. They belong to squads of thirteen men, a leader, and three fireteams of four men each, each “led” by a Marine; they follow the orders of the chain of command to the letter. When the squad leader gets killed, someone else takes the leadership position, and so on. The ultimate goal is to achieve Mission success.

The Point in a Nutshell

We are no longer “leaders” in the World. The lack of respect is visible in the way Putin behaves. Why? We have been run by “Political Managers” who sweet-talked us into debt oblivion while giving themselves the right to do whatever they wanted, fund wars of their choosing, and retire Millionaires.

The Vote

The time has come to vote everybody out of government and vote for unknown- unknowns (unk-unks). Accept no ideology. Like the Marines who know, “in time of war, any hole is cover,” We need to restart our “Declaration of Independence and our Constitution” from scratch.

They cannot do worse than the septuagenarians sitting there right now becoming millionaires.

The only criteria to use is to vote for leaders — people who will go to govern by first throwing out the staff in those offices, “helping” the people we vote for.

A “leader” will make decisions because he is not interested in retiring a millionaire or “making friends with us.” He will decide based on what is “good for the people of our Country.”

Ideology is Dead

REPUBLICAN — DEMOCRAT, today does not make a difference. Both camps are being led by the nose, through the politicians, by the Deep State.

We need somebody to lead the country and first destroy the “Deep State,” the 4th branch of government invisible to us.

Politicians lie to get their way at any cost, as long as they get “re-elected.” Look what Pelosi, with the help of the 4th branch of government, did to Trump from his Inauguration Day until today (I can’t get rid of the thought that Obama was behind all of it), and look how rich she has become.

Thinking of Trump, I cannot imagine a human being subjected to the kind of pressure he survived from January 20, 2017, to today and not have gone mad.

That in itself is the sign of a L-E-A-D-E-R! Never relinquish your command unless you are dead.

It is clear now that what happened to Trump was manufactured by the “Deep State” with the help of legitimate politicians to get their way with wars they wanted to fight. Never mind who is President…Except Trump. Why? Trump is about to shut them down. Shut them down for GOOD!

How Are We Different From Russia?

“Government” today manufactures the truth they want us to believe, a la Putin style. They use the press and corporations on the internet at their convenience, suppress and manage the truth in all corners of our country that they deem not to their convenience. They will continue to work to manufacture the DEBT, obey the Deep State, and retire rich.

The Deep State Made it So

Yes, the Deep State was manufactured by the Republicans who dismissed us all as ignorant, stupid, dumb…” choose your adjective. However, the Deep State today has a life of its own, working irreparably or irrevocably with any government. They add whatever they want to the budget, eventually becoming a government overrun.

Then they go to the press and say, “The coffers are out of money; we need to cut all our Social programs; we need to raise taxes.” There are other ways to do it, but none are friendly to us, the Citizens. We pay for all the sins of our Government.

I am not against that. I oppose the real reason they are doing it — TO SUPPORT THE WAR MACHINE! 20 Wars and Counting since Vietnam.

After the Vietnam War, the government decided to cancel the draft and initiate a “Professional Army.” Professional means paying them a bit above minimum wage to volunteer to serve.
Why separate the people from Military service? We are a nation where the individual is the treasure of the Country. All citizens need the basics of service in case the country needs defense.
Further —
- Military service is unique because it teaches Patriotism — Our Country has already lost that, and we need to get it back.
- It teaches each citizen the ultimate responsibility of the “individual.” Sacrifice your life so your country can live the dream created by our founding papers. This is called “Patriotism.”

NONE of the WARS have helped US. We just sunk $TRILLIONS in debt.

What Can Be Our View of the World?

We live on a continent that has never had a conflict that required Europe’s help to resolve.

Why have we been dragged into conflagrations in Europe that forced us to invent the atomic bomb to stop what, at the time, was a fanatical enemy? Yes, as much of an attack as Pearl Harbor, we supposedly were ignorant of it; many pointers are showing we did know.

We have plenty of oil (Venezuela has as much oil as the Arabs). Why did we sink $TRILLIONS in Iran, Afghanistan, and Iraq?

The Atomic Age

Yes, the world is different today. It has become a lot smaller in the atomic age. Several countries can end the world as we know it.

Today, we are like a dormitory of teenagers that, without outside help (see the drill sergeant in the image above), cannot resolve problems because of the “EGOs” involved.

Those “egos” involved think humanity is disposable if they get their way. That is apparently the new purpose of governments worldwide.

For our country, “Europe’s” history is immaterial, Less now than before we invented the Atomic bomb. Why do we care for war in Europe? They have been that way since the dawn of time.

We wanted PEACE; we fought a war to get it. Now, WE are being dragged into Historical European problems. Why do we care who claims ownership of “other” territory because of historical claims?

If we are doing that in Central Europe, why not China? they are exterminating People of religion or race they do not want. Don’t we see that “Opening China” was wrong today? We are trading with a “Government” that is killing humanity at their convenience.

Isn’t “trading with China” immoral? Why can’t we close China? Yeah, MONEY. Like people say, “money walks and, S….” It is as immoral as letting the “Mafia” operate within our borders.

That thought includes China, which has enslaved entire races of people to concentration camps because they are different.

Apparently, the concept of “humanity” is different, depending on who you talk to.

Ours is radically different because “we” believe in God. Mind you, God is NOT religion. We, on earth, are here because of the “Omnipotent” who, as long as we are “rational animals,” we are all the same to Him.

This is the only way to differentiate “Humanity” from the rest of the animals on Earth.

When people are treated like animals, we react with disgust. Should this disgust go as far as trying to fix every problem in the world?

If we add up ALL the money we have spent on the wars around the world, it’d be close to $10 Trillion, not including all the overhead like taxes and other items that continue to cost us money today.

We fought, and Americans Died; for what change in the world?

Afghanistan is still run by the Taliban as before;
Iran, once an ally of ours, went through a revolution and now is a deadly enemy;
Parts of the Middle East are now against us with the help of Iran;
Iraq is still in turmoil; it can be said the country has yet to define itself.
The Kurds want a country, but nobody will allow it.
Russia has returned to be the despotic country it was during the Stalin era;
We “opened” China to great fanfare, thinking we could influence change by trading with them (we thought it was an extensive, very affordable labor force). Today, we can call them the second-world power nipping at our heels.

How has the World improved for all the lives and money we spent?

These are just a few. The Chinese, having the “long view in history” (they have a 4,000-year view, are quietly invading any and all countries we backing off from. This includes South America.

How is it our problem to intervene in people‘s Egos who demand their armies to conquer their neighbors?

Who in the World is helping us pay our Debt?

Report from the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, The head paragraph:
“Today, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) updated its budget and economic projections, emphasizing a fact that we’ve known for some time: the United States is on an unsustainable fiscal course marked by rising deficits. A key part of the challenging outlook is that rising debt and higher interest rates have pushed up interest payments, which threatens to crowd out other priorities. And it’s critical that we act soon, because the Social Security and Medicare trust funds will both be depleted within a decade or shortly thereafter, which would result in automatic cuts to beneficiaries and in payments to healthcare providers.”
