As most of you have noticed, I really don’t write many articles as of late. I honestly just don’t see the point anymore. It’s funny, more and more people’s eyes are open to the fact that our “Govt.” is as corrupt as hell, but it’s just accepted and people carry on with their everyday lives as if nothing bad can ever happen to the good old US of A.
I spend most of my time now with my son playing and training for Baseball. The kid loves the game and is one of the top pitchers for his age group. He works on his own and is motivated to be the best he can be. So I have gone all in with him on this adventure. He really left me no choice. I will never think it is a waste of time either as some people see it. As Parents we are to always encourage and help with our kids dreams. Regardless of the outcome spending high quality time with my Son pursuing a goal has been great for me and him.
I do still follow all the news. I communicate with David on a daily basis. We still discuss all the important things. I just can’t get motivated to write again at this point, yet here I am.
For so long I was called crazy and ridiculed for the things I would write and say. When in actuality I was just way ahead of the ballgame. What’s funny now is people will talk to me and they will say things that I was saying 15 years ago, makes me laugh. But people still aren’t ready. They still believe we can vote our way out of this mess. The pain still isn’t at a level where they are ready to act and do something about this evil in our country. The ones that actually are close to my way of thinking mainly are retired folks. The younger people I have discussions with are upset about many things but they just accept things as “it’s just the way it is.”
I still prep. I still workout. I stay healthy. I keep my mind sharp. But honestly I grow tired of watching Evil win and gain ground every single day. I’m just one man. A nobody. There’s nothing I can do alone. There are a handful of guys that are with me. But… and that’s it…. But… what can a handful of dedicated guys do against this vast army of evil?
I think the reason my writings always struck with a vast majority of people is that I would bring into the light and say the things that they were afraid to say out loud, regardless of the consequences. One thing I’ve known since getting involved all these years ago, is that people like to be in a room of like-minded individuals and to be able to discuss your thoughts and gripe about the situation we are in, without being thought of as insane. However, I have never had that luxury. Even to this day, I still get called crazy for saying there is no voting our way out of this mess. People lose their minds when I say nothing will change until we start hanging politicians by the lamppost. One day they’ll look back and say I was right. But what good is that? People are afraid to make a decision and rightfully so. But not making a decision is a decision.
I feel so alone in my thoughts. It’s painful watching Evil win.
Things are definitely getting more interesting. But I’m afraid we are going to leave all this Evil for our children or grandchildren to confront.
I know you feel the way I do. Unfortunately, we just aren’t the men we think we are.
May God have mercy on our souls.
Wes
Totally. Understand. Please keep writing. You may be impacting more than you know. God bless you.
True Wes, I seemed to have hit the same brick wall, The America I grew up in is gone, no voting our way back. I watch who I discuss this mess with, how much prepping can we do, it seems to be just another excuse for our lack of action. How much worse can it get? We will find that answer pretty damn soon, then the wringing of the hands and the real whining will begin.
VOTE:308 & FREEDOM Even if only once, it is a vote that can’t be ignored
Agree 100%.
I second that motion, but I’ll go with the 556 alternates. Time for corrupt poli-types to fall over.
Yep, I believe it is about that time.
Wes, what you say reminds me of the poignant words of Winston Churchill.
“If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may be even a worse fate, you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”
Fredrick Douglas said it best and that was over 150 years ago. I just wish the American people didn’t have so much endurance cuz I’m getting real tired of this crap!
You are right on! Please keep writing as you are able to. I am not retired but am in that age range, 66, and have been trying to shed light on hard truths for decades, however, there are things I too did not realize until the past 5 years or so. You are not alone though it feels like it. Thankfully, the ultimate Truth and the certain hope is the person Jesus Christ who is the Way the Truth and the Life. Thanks again!
It may be that things will change when Jesus sits on His throne in Jerusalem and some will entire into the next age. Pray and spread the hope that is found in Messiah.
Wes don’t be too hard on yourself. Throwing your life away as a martyr will not help anyone. I quit commenting a while back because it is not good time spent. Preaching to the choir is just spinning our wheels. I am instead dedicating my time to more valuable pursuits such as physical training, shooting, security and preparing etc. This is in God’s time, and I plan to be ready when He calls. If it is not His will to use me in this fight, I can at least pass along what I learned and built to the next group. But I truly feel it in my soul that it won’t be long before He calls. We are the men we think we are, our King just hasn’t activated us yet.
Here I am Lord send me.
Throwing our lives away as martyrs helps no one? Do you mean like the Alamo? Iwo Jima? Okinawa? Etc?
so where does Jesus say anything like, “ok, now it’s time to attack,’?
You are right. We can’t vote our way out of this mess. But the public has grown accustomed to their bondage. Only a few see what is happening and getting prepared. Better a few of us who are prepared, but I doubt there will be enough.
Louis just keep in mind that this is a fight against good and evil. This is Our Fathers fight and His Glory. No matter how few we are, God is with us. Surely many of us will most likely not make it to the end but we will fight for His glory and for future generations. Keep your head up and shoulders square. What we do in life echos in eternity.
Sorry I forgot the quotations around the last statement.
Waiting is hard. Especially if you don’t know when it is time to act. Spending time with you son is priceless.
Exactly! The time will come, today isn’t that day.
well, for americans, that’s everyday!
“A good plan violently actuated NOW is superior to a great plan executed next week!”

It does no good to constantly belittle yourselves. It’s pathetic.

You are far from alone. There are many keeping score. Give it time, it gets worse before it gets much worse. Then we win.
That’s kinda the way I’ve been seeing it…
We know the punch is coming, this is the wind-up phase. The longer the wind-up, the bigger the punch! Or if you prefer the pendulum metaphor, the higher we swing to the left, the higher we will swing to the right.
Its all been said.
i have only seen 1 Man amongst us.
Michael Cassidy. God Bless him, his and his courage to do the right thing.
Agree, experience the same frustration. Continually sharing similar thoughts with small group bible study and anyone else that will listen. Retired, spending as much time with grandkids as possible to influence and help. Great shape physically and ready to join meaningful effort to spark a change
I feel you, Wes. But the story isn’t yet over. Stay strong.
Scripture tells us things are not always what they appear to be.There have been times when God allowed evil to get the upper hand, but in the end God prevails and he destroys the evil. During those times it can be hard to wait on the Lord. Elijah lived in such a time and came to a point where he mistakenly believed he was the only one in Israel who was serving God. It was then that the Lord revealed that there were seven thousand others who had not bowed the knee to Baal.
We must walk by faith, not by sight. Like Elijah, we must listen to that “still small voice” of God. See 1 Kings 19 through 22.
Unfortunately to wipe out evil would be to wipe out all humans. We’re born into sin and have “desperately wicked hearts.” The fight between good and evil will continue until The Lord takes HIS rightful place in the New Jerusalem. (even so, there will still be nonbelievers!) Press on and fight the Good Fight God has called us to do.
What Martha said. We can’t physically separate good people from bad ones in this life.
Weed out a few egregious evildoers? Maybe. I’m in favor of that. There are people, the Charles Mansons, Gary Gilmores, Timothy McVeighs, who are in favor of its being applied to them. So why not put’em out of their misery, same way we do rabid dogs.
But the danger to American Democracy is that socialism appeals so much to all of our weak points of vanity, laziness, snobbery, cowardice, and just plain incompetence. After work, who has time to bother about those who have less? Who really wants to take sole and entire responsibility for the support of a disabled relative? How many people are really qualified to homeschool children beyond about age 10? We grew up letting the government do those things. We’re comfortable letting the government do them, as long as we, personally, aren’t the “beneficiaries.”
We have to do more than vote, and also more than just blame a few figureheads and vent our discontent on them.
When my parents were alive, I voted to keep Social Security going at all costs, as most people did, because it took better care of them than I could do. Well, if you want to heat things up, I can help. Now that I’m getting those letters from AARP myself, I’m opting out of Social Security. It always was an unsustainable pyramid scheme. People can’t say that with any credibility until they’re 55 or 60 years old, but now I am, can, and do. Social Security always should have been limited to a DISABILITY pension fund. To keep that aspect of the fund viable, I’m willing to forget all about “retirement.” Who else is going to step up and say that? Patriots?
I couldn’t agree with you more! We should all be like that veteran in Iowa but we aren’t, we’re too comfortable, too tired, too scared and for that there is a price. When they come, and they will all we can do is take as many as we can with us when we go.
I grew up in the NE, pond hockey was a thing… You were taught, if someone falls through the ice, don’t skate right over there to save them.
It was so difficult to learn that. Went against every fiber of my being not to rush into action. The problem was the environment was very dangerous, and would harm me if I rushed in, as well. The smarter action was to reach out with a branch or rope, or your hockey sticks, and help them that way. Outside of the reach of harm. Think Artillery vs rifle. NOT responding to the threat to health and safety wasn’t an option, you just had to be smart about it so that you didn’t fall victim as well.
Now is not the time. It’s coming, we’re close, for sure. Train, prepare, you bet. You’ll know when the time is right. But if you want to fall through the ice too, go right ahead, Brother. Leviathan is in the process of destroying itself anyways, sit back and make some popcorn. You’re doing all the right things you should be doing right now. God, Family, Community. Stay the course. We read about history in books in minutes, but it takes years and decades to play out.
The answer is yes. Americans will do nothing and simply allow themselves to be conquered. It’s the Christian way!
You’re not the only one feeling that way.
The hardest part isn’t doing something, it’s waiting for a critical mass to aggregate enough to make any action more than just a futile gesture.
Are you Aesop currently “doing nothing” or are you fighting each and every day? Are you a worthless man?
