My Stars & Stripes

Nothing provides me with more of a kick-start to my day, than placing the flagpole with my Stars & Stripes into the bracket on the front of my house. My heart never fails to beat a little faster with the honor I feel, at just holding the flag that represents what my country is all about.

Sometimes, I’ll face the flag and recite The Pledge of Allegiance, silently. Some days, I just look at those stars and stripes and quietly whisper, “Thank you, God”. Sometimes, I’ll put up the flag and give it a short, snappy salute. Placing the flag in front of my home is a very private thing, with me. I am happy to share to flag with all who pass by but, my sentiments . . my innermost feelings about our nation’s flag – these are deep inside and just between the Founding Fathers and me.

Whenever I return home and am greeted by the sight of ‘my’ Stars & Stripes, I feel my old heart beat just a bit faster. And for a brief moment, I find myself awash in the warmth of my love for the United States of America. That isn’t a bad thing to feel. It is always right; it is always up-beat.

Whenever the clouds turn dark grey and all the signs point to a sudden downpour, I take in ‘my’ Stars & Stripes. Every once in a while, when I haven’t checked the skies overhead, a sudden storm will roll by and give everything a good soaking, including my flag. I usually have a silent chat with the red, white and blue symbol of our freedoms and promise not to let that happen, again. The flag remains mute as if understanding that after all, this is Florida – sudden storms are to be expected, as are aging patriots who react somewhat slower than they might have in times past.

When I retire the colors at dusk, I feel that old heart pounding again. I look up and thank the provider of our freedoms for another day of miracles, protected by ‘my’ Stars & Stripes. Got that? ‘MY’ Stars & Stripes. My personal Stars & Stripes.

I love that flag.

Join Gary Sinise as We Honor Our Veterans

Dear Fellow American,

We give thanks to all who have served our country.

We truly appreciate your service and hope you'll keep Stop Marxism in mind for Conservative News and Stopping the Anti-American Left and Marxism.

Happy Memorial Day!



A message below from Gary Sinise and The American Veterans Center.

Memorial Day is quickly approaching, and to most Americans, this means the beginning of summer. In reality, it's the one day of the year we dedicate to remembering those who gave all to protect the freedoms we cherish. As you plan your first barbecue of the season and prepare for the warm weather, I urge you to keep in mind the real reason we celebrate Memorial Day: to pay tribute to America's veterans and fallen soldiers.

I remember the way our Vietnam Veterans were treated upon returning home. It was a difficult time in our country's history and we must do all we can to make sure that when our men and women are sent to war they are never again forced into the shadows and treated badly, as our returning Vietnam Veterans were. That's one of the reasons I am so active in the veterans' community and today serve as Honorary Grand Marshal of The American Veterans Center's National Memorial Day Parade in Washington, DC. I'm writing today because this year's parade is our first public opportunity to honor our newest generation of veterans, the young men and women who bravely served in Iraq, sacrificing family relationships, jobs, and economic stability to go off and fight for our country.

Will you join me in paying tribute to our Iraq War veterans and all of America's veterans and active duty service members by marching in the National Memorial Day Parade on May 28? You can't come all the way to Washington, DC, you say? You don't have to travel to take part in this special tribute, because we're holding a virtual parade online! Follow this link below, select your avatar and join thousands of patriots across our nation to honor America's veterans from the Revolutionary War up to the Iraq War.

After you complete your registration, please make a generous tax-deductible contribution to support the American Veterans Center's efforts throughout the year, including events for wounded veterans at Walter Reed/Bethesda Naval Hospital, programs to educate our youth about the history of America's veterans and their legacy, and the publication of American Valor Quarterly.

Freedom isn't free, but for nearly 70 years, Washington, DC, was without a parade on our Armed Services' most sacred day. In 2005, the American Veterans Center revived the tradition of a Memorial Day parade in our nation's capital, and today it serves two vital civic purposes: to give the general public the opportunity to honor our service members and pay tribute to our veterans, while allowing active duty troops, veterans, and re-enactors showcase the sacrifice of all our veterans in an exciting procession of American history the whole family can enjoy.

Whether you live in the Washington Metro Area and plan to attend this year's parade or you live as far away as Hawaii or Alaska, I encourage you to join us on May 28, 2012, to honor America's veterans, including the 4,487 American service members who gave their lives in the Iraq War.

Please follow this link to register for the virtual Memorial Day parade and join thousands of veterans, active duty troops and civilians across America to pay tribute to our veterans. Then please make the most generous, tax-deductible contribution you can afford to the American Veterans Center to support the parade and our activities throughout the year.

With your support and participation in the virtual parade, we'll promote our veterans' legacy, remember those who gave all, and preserve their sacrifices. Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,

Gary Sinise Honorary Grand Marshal, National Memorial Day Parade

P.S. Celebrate Memorial Day 2012 and honor America's veterans and active duty troops by marching in the National Memorial Day Parade online, After you register for the virtual parade, I hope you'll make a generous tax-deductible contribution to support the efforts of the American Veterans Center.

The mission of The American Veterans Center is to preserve the legacy of our veterans and part of the mission is accomplished by communicating the sacrifice that our veterans have made to the public, and in particular, to younger generations.

Lost Trust.

I pondered over a title for this ‘Meandering’ for an inordinately long time. Then, as a pall of gloom settled over me, I wrote those two words, “Lost Trust”.

‘Lost Trust’ in what? Let me count the ways – certainly not all of them and I haven’t taken time to prioritize this list but, the following issues and entities have caused me to lose trust – and lose trust, big time.

For many years since acquiring my first share in corporate America, I’ve been told over and over again that a stock or bond was, “backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government”. That used to be a comforting thought. Sadly, it no longer is.

I no longer trust the word of this president or that of anyone speaking on behalf of his administration. That goes double for the great majority of the Members of Congress. And it goes triple for the entirety of the Democrat leadership in the current Congress.

I am totally suspect of any statistics or economic figures that emanate from the OMB, the Office of Management and Budget that is a division of the Executive Office of the President. Sorry, but I’ve lost all trust in that incestuous relationship.

I do not trust the results of polls taken by unscrupulous poll takers or survey groups that are nothing more than extensions of the two major political parties. Taking the pulse of voters, special-interest groups or not-so-randomly selected segments of the public, has become such a lucrative commercial endeavor that it has degenerated into an activity that is universally fraught with corruption. Want a poll to reflect certain results? Select the number of people you want polled, hint at the desired results, pay the going fee and ‘oila’: You have facts you can use.

Every Government Department or Agency has its own PIO (Public Information Office) – read that as, ‘propaganda machine’. It doesn’t take a Sherlock Holmes to figure out that the ‘official position as espoused by the official spokesperson’, might be skewed just a tad when it comes to shedding a favorable light on actions, policies and positions.

As much as it pains me to say it, I’ve lost trust in those Generals and Admirals who have risen to the top rung of the Armed Forces ladder and who now report directly to the President and other elected politicians. Some of those men who wear three or four silver stars on their shoulders, have over-imbibed in the intoxicating waters of the Potomac. They’ve abandoned their sworn oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States - and have compromised their principles. In other words, their technique for survival to a full-pensioned retirement, is to go along to get along. They have become tools of political policy. They’ve lost my trust.

Then, there is the mass media – newspapers, TV news outlets, talk radio, periodical publications and the endless cable news panel shows. Let me just pose this question: Where are the experts on the economy that have been right, all along? How many times have you sat wide-eyed in wonder at acclaimed ‘experts’ on TV who declare – “It came as a big surprise to me - - “? How ‘expert’ is that?

By now, you must be muttering, “C’mon Mort, you must have faith and trust in something?”

Yes, of course I do. Try this - -

1. The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States.
2. The rank and file of all branches of the U.S. Military.
3. The American free-enterprise system
4. The proven ingenuity and innovativeness of American entrepreneurs.

In other words, get the tyrannical socialists and control freaks out of the way, reduce Government to its functional minimum, truly secure our borders, clean house of career tit-suckers in the Congress, encourage the Judeo-Christian virtues upon which this nation was founded, elect people to public office who believe in our founding principles - that includes judges at all levels, and re-establish the free-market system that has been the principle by-product of Liberty in this nation for more than 234 years.

Then, stand back and ‘Let’s roll’.

Those unelected people?

In his latest outrageous attack on one of the three ‘equal’ branches of the Federal Government, the Supreme Court, Obama referred to the nine Justices as ‘those unelected people’.

Now, I ask you - - ‘Where in the pluperfect hell does this Chicago street thug get off, characterizing these nine Supreme Court Justices, two of whom he nominated as, ‘those unelected people’? Has any president ever been so derogatory about the sitting Justices on the Supreme Court bench? Even FDR, who was frustrated by the Court and tried unsuccessfully to pack it with more of his enabling cronies, was never so disrespectful to the Judicial Branch of the Federal Government.

I wonder how Obama, the alleged Constitution ‘professor’, would characterize those 32 (latest count) Obama-appointed Czars who are unelected and therefore, unaccountable to either the Congress or the American people? Would he refer to them as ‘those unelected people’? Or, are they somehow – different?

Then, there’s the Chairman of the Federal Reserve – he is an appointed ‘official’. Would he be one of ‘those unelected people’ also? And, how about sweety-cakes Janet Napolitano - - is she another of ‘those unelected people’? And, the ever-lovin’ Attorney General Eric Holder – does he qualify as one of ‘those unelected people’?

Does all this hypocrisy make you as sick to your stomach as it makes me?

If the Street-Thug-in-Chief blatantly shows this lack of respect for the other two branches of the Federal Government – before he is re-elected (throw-up), one can just imagine how much farther he will go when all restraints are off. And, he feels free to do and say and implement whatever nefarious whims he has been holding behind his back.

It makes my skin crawl to think that there is a possibility that there are enough people in this country – legal and illegal – who could vote this raging narcissist in for another term. That would of course, sound the death knell for the freedoms and way of life that we’ve known in the United States of America, since its founding in 1776.

Four more years? I don’t think so. If Obama wins; we lose!

World Mourns As Communist Darkness Falls Upon America

In what is being described as one of the most astounding power grabs in modern history by newspaper headlines around the World, President Obama has succeeded in his audacious plan to remake America into a full fledged godless communist empire barely one year into his term with the enactment into law by the US Congress of his mammoth health care plan innocuously named H.R. 3200-Americas Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009 and described by one Kremlin legal expert as having “nothing at all to do with health, but everything to do with control.”

To fully grasp the full and grim implications of Obama’s power grab over the American people with his Nationalization of the United States entire health care industry and student loan programme accomplished with the passing of this new law, it must be remembered that since taking office on January 20, 2009 he has also taken over their automobile, mortgage, and banking industries too with the Internet said being next “in his sights”.

More insidious than these takeovers that have been destroying America’s once vibrant capitalistic system is the new regime these once free peoples are now destined to live under, and where under their new health care law will require all of them to carry a National ID card (page 58) and allow their government unlimited access to all of their bank accounts and personal records (page 159).

And in a chilling instance of the ancient prophecies for these time of “The Mark of the Beast” becoming reality, the National ID card all of the American people will now be required to possess (regardless of age) is to be combined with their new government ID card under their upcoming new immigration laws allowing them to work and is biometrically designed to “read” the backs of their hands.

Though many have tried to warn these Americans about the plans for their Nations destruction at the hands of the Obama backed communist forces who have taken over their country [including our March 2nd report "Russia Warns US Communist Threat Endangering Entire World"] the propaganda organs in the United States have rendered silent nearly all opposition and dissident views from reaching them and they remain asleep to the true dangers soon to come upon them.

The same, however, cannot be said about the rest of the World where during this past week alone, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon signed a cooperation agreement with a Russia-led security group of ex-Soviet Nations as a counterbalance to the US led NATO forces (who are currently expanding their wars against the Muslim Nations to steal their vast oil and gas wealth) and one of China’s top military officers called for his Nation to build the World’s strongest military and move swiftly to topple the United States as the Global “champion.”

To how ignorant the American people have become to the yoke of communist oppression being pressed upon them by Obama’s forces we can glimpse from a report in today’s Los Angeles Times that says “The Democratic administration of Barack Obama, who denounced his predecessor, George W. Bush, as the most secretive in history, is now denying more Freedom of Information Act requests than the Republican did.”
And as to why Obama and his communist forces would seek to keep from the American people what is really being done to them we had, also, previously warned about in our February 12th report “The “End Of Days” Are Upon Us, Warns Russian Patriarch” and wherein we had stated:

“Patriarch Cyril warns in his report though that the Motherlands efforts to halt the West’s godlessness “may be too late” as evidenced by the rising use among their political, military, banking and celebrity elite classes of the ancient Babylonian “Sign of the Horns” [formed by extending the index and little fingers while holding the middle and ring fingers down with the thumb, see photo bottom left] honoring the ancient god Marduk (Sumerian spelling in Akkadian: AMAR.UTU meaning “solar calf”).”

Now most important to remember about these ancient enemies of our human race Obama and his communist forces have aligned themselves with is how truly predictable they are; including the United States passing of their health care bill during the 2010 Vernal (Spring) Solstice [when daytime and nighttime are equal length] as a”celebration” to the ancient goddess ?ostre whose name was given to the Christian festival of Easter but whose origins stretch back into the mists of time to the mystery religions of Rome where the Cybele cult preformed their child sacrifices on what was then known as Vatican hill, but today is known as the home of the Pope.

And in these monsters predictability by aligning themselves with the ancient dates and ceremonies of old also comes the most secure protection from their destructive plans; such as the United States March 4, 2001 airing of the Lone Gunman television programmes pilot episode where an American government plot to fly remotely controlled planes into the World Trade Center was discovered, and which was exactly 6 months and 7 days from when the actual attack occurred.

It goes without saying, of course, that the propaganda media organs beholden to their godless communist masters will never inform their peoples about these things, and for those of us who do there is always great danger. But as the events in the United States are now showing to even those most in denial about what is truly happening, the time nears when hard choices will have to be made by everyone if freedom for our human race is to be saved
