Memorial Day Weekend

US Military Cemetery in Taguig City, South East of Manila, Philippines.

I will be spending some time with my family this weekend (both daughters home) so I cannot promise much in the way of posting. Unless, of course, we have breaks in the Gunwalker Scandal. I am hearing more positive stuff out of DC from people I trust, so maybe . . . just keep checking. In any case, what time I commit will be largely to the Absolved project. Remember the reason for the holiday. With Matt in Afghanistan now, I feel it keenly and I hope you do too.

If there is to be a First Fruits Rapture it will be this Sunday, if the prophecy of Feasts is held to, and I believe it will.

Pray you are counted worthy to Stand before Yeshua.

Unknown said...: Michael,
Blessings on your son and hope for his safe return soonest. Blessings on all our veterans (USN retired myself and family's service dates back to 1776). Long time lurker here and avid consumer of your work. Up here at Redstone so in the neighborhood. Hope your recovery continues to progress well and appreciate your work exposing these weak-kneed excuses for Americans and holding their feet to the fire. Pray something really good will come of your efforts and others seeking to end efforts to control our society and destroy our freedoms. My wife is Filipina and I can appreciate the picture you posted. Her Dad and Mom had just turned 16 when the Japenese invaded the Philippines and they know very well the cost of freedom. Again, hope you have a great weekend with your family and your son returns home safely.

Anonymous said...: Been there. Seen it. Scary how many of my father-in-law's contemporaries died there. He is a former POW (spent time in one of those swank resort communities operated by the 3rd Reich) and USAF retired.

Going to the National Cemetary at Ft. Sam Houston Monday. Dad and Mom are bunking there. Mom is on the bottom bunk. If the revolution doesn't come first, I expect to be somewhere nearby.

My son is a veteran of the 1st Sandbox and on 100% disability. Daughter-in-law's dad is disabled Nam vet. Can't swing a stick in my family without hitting a vet or the widow of one.

I just wish more active duty folks have heard about Oath Keepers. I ask every service member I meet to google it.; May 25, 2012 at 1:25 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

-- Mike Vanderboegh, The Lessons of Mumbai:Death Cults, the "Socialism of Imbeciles" and Refusing to Submit, 1 December 2008

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
