Lone Survivor: A Tableau of Heroism

World of Writing

“I will never quit. My nation expects me to be physically harder and mentally stronger than my enemies. If knocked down I will get back up, every time. I will draw on every remaining ounce of strength to protect my teammates and to accomplish our mission. I am never out of the fight.”

Marcus Luttrell, Lone Survivor

The virtue of heroism has become radically distorted in our times. Our gratitude for our country’s true heroes—primarily those in law enforcement and our military—fades even as they continually risk their lives to protect their country, countrymen, and our freedoms. Instead of receiving thanks and respect, these men and women are forgotten and, even worse, at times wrongfully castigated.

Many Americans are not aware of the daily sacrifices and intense difficulties these people undergo in order to ensure our safety and peaceful way of life. True sacrifice is altruistic; true heroes never look…

The Sacklers Did It On Purpose

Prince Harry and the First Amendment: It’s bonkers that an educated man his age knows nothing about it

Confessions of a Conservative Atheist

Ironically, freedom of speech is a fundamental right designed to protect us from the tyranny of Prince Harry’s own ancestors. A tyranny that apparently still exists today. Consider the example of journalist James Callender from the Founder’s era, and Facebook blocking the dissenting views of a respected scientist and former Obama official from our own.

“I’ve got so much I want to say about the First Amendment as I sort of understand it, but it is bonkers,” Prince Harry declared, without evidence as they say. “I don’t want to start going down the First Amendment route because that’s a huge subject and one which I don’t understand because I’ve only been here a short time. But, you can find a loophole in anything. You can capitalize or exploit what’s not said rather than uphold what is said. I believe we live in an age now where you’ve got certain elements…

The wildest and weirdest things this week in the world of the woke

Confessions of a Conservative Atheist

Nancy Pelosi thanks George Floyd, a leading professor wants to convict America, Netflix doubles down on hateful content, LeBron James wants to hold a hero cop accountable, news organizations lie about the hero cop, top high schools lie to parents in the name of social justice, and a Congresswoman claims climate change is caused by a lack of healthcare.  It’s a wild world out there if you aren’t woke enough.

“Thank you, George Floyd, for sacrificing your life for justice. For being there to call out to your mom — how heartbreaking was that — call out for your mom, ‘I can’t breathe.’”  So said Nancy Pelosi during a news conference with members of the Congressional Black Caucus, as if George Floyd was a soldier who jumped on a grenade to save his squad.  Needless to say, reaction to this odd-to-say-the-least phrasing wasn’t exactly positive.  Barbara Ransby, a history professor at…

Industrial Society and its Future: Oversocialization

The Collapse Experiment

The following post is a commentary on Industrial Society and Its Future, specifically the section Oversocialization. You may recognize the title as the manifesto by the Unabomber, Theodore Kaczynski. As a high school student during the 1990s I was interested in this mysterious figure and wanted to read the manifesto but never had the opportunity. Over the past year due to Covid-19 and several podcasts mentioning the Unabomber and his manifesto. During my internet snooping I learned that Kaczynski had written other books besides the manifesto and that he was still alive, writing letters in prison, and would never be released. Throw in a few facts like he was the subject of an LSD experiment in college as part of the MKUltra mind control program and you have an interesting individual to write about. So, who is this guy that had his brain fried, was a mathematical genius, taught at…

What do you do about rising food cost?

The Collapse Experiment

As a kid my parents would throw me into a dumpster to look for discarded food. There were only three of us and while we were not bad off if there was anything better than cheap it was free. I would pull out bags of oranges that had not gone bad, boxes of pasta past their shelf date, and in one instance a plastic bag filled with leavened dough from the local little Caesar’s. We spent an entire day baking loaves of bread, bread sticks, and storing away what wasn’t used in the freezer.

I learned early on that food goes to waste at an unprecedented level in this country. The store we were dumpster diving at was a Harding’s grocery store in an upscale neighborhood. This store didn’t bother with a clearance section to move old product. Anyone who bought from such a section would be judged for having…

Open Air Insane Asylum

For many years now, the globalist-controlled American corporate media has aggressively pushed anti-White propaganda with a religious fervor.

The corporate media runs anti-White propaganda every day, in both explicit and implicit form.

Their woke religion has often had terrible real world consequences for actual Americans. Low IQ / credulous consumers of their anti-White propaganda internalize a false buzzword-based paradigm and some of them are DRIVEN TO VIOLENCE as a result of the media propaganda.

A couple of days ago, the constant flood of anti-White propaganda resulted, yet again, in the horrific murder of an innocent child when Ariel and Jerry Robinson beat cute little Victoria Smith to death in brutal fashion.

The male and female Robinson had been allowed to adopt Victoria Smith (a 3-year old White girl) despite the fact that their large-scale consumption of anti-White propaganda made them a clear and present danger to the child (because she…

About 100 people marched down Colfax Avenue in Denver toward the state Capitol, holding banners like “Death to Fascism And the Liberalism That Enables It” as a number of police dressed in riot gear monitored them. A fire was set in an overturned dumpster and broken windows and graffiti were reported during the demonstration, police said. Police dispersed the crowd after the fire and officers using tear gas and pepper balls to push people back, The Denver Post reported.

Group forms to ensure Battle Day 2020 — – Latest Stories

BENNINGTON —

It won’t be quite the same, but a local group plans to make Bennington Battle Day 2020 memorable despite the loss of the annual parade amid the coronavirus hysteria.

The committee formed following cancellation of the traditional Battle Day Parade earlier this month because of the difficulty of holding planning meetings while COVID-19 remains a threat to public health.

While the form of this year’s commemoration will depend on public safety considerations and compliance with distancing restrictions in place on Battle Day, Aug. 16, the committee resolved at its first videoconference session that some kind of public commemoration should take place.

“This group has come together to commemorate Battle Day in order to keep this important day alive in the community’s mind,” Town Manager Stuart Hurd said Wednesday. “As we move towards Vermont’s 250th anniversary of the [August 1777] battle, it would be too bad to lessen the celebration that the Fire Department works so hard to bring the community every year. We’ll see what comes of the effort.”

Commemorations of the historic Revolutionary War battle have been held in Bennington every year since 1778, the first anniversary of the encounter between American forces and volunteers and a contingent of a British army invading from Canada.

“Bennington Battle Day is our own unique piece of history, and hopefully the day we fail to celebrate it never comes,” said Select Board Chairman Donald Campbell. “But like everything else in the near future, this summer’s celebration will be shaped by keeping people safe and healthy. It may not be the same but it can still be great.”

Battle Day festivities normally are held throughout the week, leading to the parade on Sunday afternoon. The parade and many of the events are planned and overseen by the Bennington Fire Department, which in mid-April said the necessary planning would be impossible because of distancing requirements imposed by the state at least through mid-May and likely longer.

Citizen input sought

“We know that this year’s commemoration will be different in form and tone from what we’re used to,” said Jonah Spivak, one of the leaders of the effort, “but we see that as an opportunity to create an event that is responsive to these challenging times.”

In a media release Wednesday, the committee said it welcomes input from the public on what would make for a meaningful Battle Day celebration this year, and the group has set up and email account to receive suggestions. Those can be sent to bennbattle2020@gmail.com.

Members of the Bennington Battle Day 2020 committee said they also are happy to be contacted individually.

They are Jerry and Mary Lou Albert, co-owners of Bennington Cooling and Heating and past presidents of the Bennington Rotary and Bennington Lions, respectively; Shannon Barsotti, town Community Development director; Marylou Chicote, site director of the Bennington Battle Monument; Mary Ostrander Crawford, secretary of the Bennington Fire Department; Mike Cutler, creative content coordinator with CAT-TV; Rick Knapp, past chief of the Bennington Fire Department; Phil Holland, writer; Hurd; Deana Mallory, director of public programs for the Bennington Museum; Don Miller, president of the Bennington Historical Society; Sarah Perrin, co-owner of Green Mountain Concessions and member of the Select Board; Jonah Spivak, co-owner of Hawkins House and past president of the Chamber of Commerce; Joshua Torrance, executive director of the Bennington Museum; Patrick Winburn, attorney and moderator for the Village of Old Bennington, and James Wright, chief of the Bennington Fire Department.

Planning meeting

After holding the initial organizational meeting, the committee now expects to begin discussing specific plans during a May 8 meeting via videoconferencing.

Members said Wednesday they wanted to hold off discussing ideas for the commemoration until the public has an opportunity to weigh in.

One suggestion previously floated by several residents is to hold a commemoration at Monument Circle, which surrounds the 306-foot battle monument and offers space for social distancing.

Another idea was to dedicate the commemoration this year to the medical personnel working under a threat to their own health and that of family members to treat those affected by CORVID-19.

It is expected that state historic preservation officials will be asked to attend the commemoration and that Gov. Phil Scott and other officials will be invited.

250th anniversary

Among those who first urged an alternative celebration to avoid a year without a Bennington Battle Day were members of a group planning for the 250th anniversary of the battle in 2027.

Supporters of that effort here and around Vermont propose an expanded 250th anniversary celebration, and they are backing proposed state legislation creating a commission to oversee planning of events in several Vermont towns.

Among events being planned in the same year as the Battle of Bennington’s 250th are those marking the signing of Vermont’s Declaration of Independence in Westminster, on Jan.15, 1777; the Battle of Hubbardton, on July 7, 1777, involving British troops from the same army that later sent a contingent to attack Bennington, and adoption of the Vermont Constitution in Windsor on July 8, 1777.

The legislation establishing a 250th anniversary commission also proposes coordinating with other states that sent militia to Bennington during that crisis, such as Massachusetts and New Hampshire, and with New York, where the British army under Gen. John Burgoyne surrendered to American forces in October, 1777, near Saratoga, N.Y.
