We were at war when innocent Americans
were falsely arrested, falsely imprisoned and in the later 50s, 60s
and until 71 when the FBI under the COINTELPRO (Counter-Intelligence
Program) to combat the Civil Rights Movement & Communism. Then
last because a humble black preacher humbled himself in protest and
allowed himself to be beaten, sprayed with fire hoses and have dogs
attack him. Martin Luther King; named at the monk Martin Luther who
lead the Protestant revolution against Catholic Church. He justified
the Black Panthers who's vow of being armed for “self-defense”
showed they needed a reason to be armed to defend themselves from a
corrupt government. That was using brutality against a peaceful
non-violent man. The Civil Rights area conflict was not about being
black or white, it was about being Americans. As Americans we should
have fought to make ourselves free before I was born, our parents and
grandparents should have fought before it came to this.
Now it falls on me, and my children
will have to fight a war I'm willing to start because if I fear if I
don't start it they won't have a chance to. I am willing to be the
villain, to be hated and hunted to bring more bloodshed and pain into
the world. We have been at war with an enemy attacking us
psychologically, politically and using clandestine warfare against us
before they called it the FBI Counter-Intelligence Program, PATCON or
even the present Counter Terrorism Programs; started under Reagan who
while good for our economy was a plague on our civil liberties and
the Iran-Contra hearings proved that. Those same bad choices and
excess use of scare tactics & psychological warfare have shown us
that we need to defend ourselves from the government.
The difference is I, swore an oath
against the Tenants of my Christian Faith which says to “swear by
nothing that is on earth or in heaven but instead yet your yes be yes
and your no be no” to “Uphold and Defend the Constitution &
Ideas of the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic”
before my country, my family and my God. I do not want glory, honor
is in my word my oath to my Country, the ideas of liberty and my God.
I don't care what religion a man is, that is his personal choice. In
the end it comes down to a choice, we all have a choice...
I will not stand by and do nothing, I
will make the choice and have made the choice in my heart to fight
this battle. I will history and God decide if I am a villain or a
hero. I don't care who stands with me, if I stand alone so be it. One
day I will die and I hope it is a good death, before I die a good
death I must live a good life. I'm human, I have my faults and my
weakness and my insecurities and my fears... but the man serves a
greater calling. We have allowed it to come to this point by degrees
using the system and we our forefathers have fought in that system,
so long as blood shed is an opinion I choose not to use it but you
take away that opinion then it leaves to believe you fear me having
it and I will use it.
I don't care what uniform a man wears,
I've said it was stupid to proclaim all LEOs as good guys because of
the uniform they wear. I once wore a US Army uniform that didn't make
anything but a man in a uniform but I know a man who watched the guy
in front of him land on a landmine and the force knocked him into a
tree and with a broken neck went out in a mined LZ and pulled 2 men
out of hell itself. When the medic told him to stay there he bad a
broken neck he ran out there again and dragged back to more guys. The
man was a hero and the uniform didn't make him one, his choices did.
That man was my Senior Drill Sergeant in basic training...
Of everything he taught including a few
things born out of experience and not in the US Army Manual he taught
me this; we as men and women make that uniform mean something... We
all have choices to make & just as its stupid to say that all
LEOs are good guys it also stupid to accuse them all of being Jack
Booted Thugs and the same goes for our military. When the time comes
I hope I can make the choice to be the kind of man who rushes into
hell to save others and risks it all for who I am & what I
believe. There is a line in the sand and you cross it I will cross it
into hell bring it with when I push back & I simply won't cross
that line, I will run as fast and as far as God and my legs will
carry me. I'm no hero I'm just man inspired by them.
