Here at the Gralien Report, I typically avoid articles with political overtones, opinion and content. Although I enjoy items of historical interest a great deal, typically this subject matter also has to have an unnatural or Fortean theme to appear here. All this taken into consideration, today a friend of mine named Jim “Kojack” from Georgia, sent me a historically-oriented essay, which also deals with a number of changes taking place in America today. Since it is Veteran’s Day, I thought I’d make a special exception and post Jim’s article, Days Of Fear Are Here, on the Gralien Report in honor of the men and women who have served (and who continue to serve) this country.
Well, it seems that history does indeed repeat itself. I’ve been reading extensively about our early fight for independence and European history lately. Tactics of the times were mind boggling. Tens of thousands of men and boys marching in hollow squares or vast parallel lines while their commanders watched from a safe distance. No regard to loss of life unless it exceeded that of the enemy. Gentleman warfare with breaks for care of casualties, inclement weather, holidays, whims of kings or the “Elite”, and sundry nonsensical reasons. Marching men across open fields to avoid wooded terrain. I could go on and on with idiotic examples but it is not pertinent to my intent with this short essay.
World War II was as close to being a true war as any in our recent (Last 100 Year) history. It was fought with one goal, “To Win”. In every conflict since then we have had the ability to win decisively but were held back for many reasons. Politicians more concerned with being re-elected, peaceniks with no understanding of war and human nature, religious zealots, concern for the feelings of those that hate us, offending anyone’s rights (except our own), power and control of the masses, etc.
We have advanced weaponry that can win any conflict without ground troops involved. These battles could be won in minutes, not months and years. Are you aware of the neutron bomb? This is already outdated technology and if it has been used it was done in secret. All living organisms are killed with no damage to any structures. It can be confined to relatively small areas with no residual harmful effects. Why do we continue to develop weapons to win without loss of our troops and sign pacts and treaties not to use them. If our enemies get the technology, they will damn well sure use it on us. We don’t need additional troops, we need the ability to actually use the weapons we have.
Why do these politicians, actors, actresses, and filmdom elite always threaten to leave our country but only do so to make a movie (More money) or take a vacation (Spend it freely)? They cherish capitalism, freedom, and our way of life, but only for their peers. They actually believe the rest of us are sheep and unable to make our own decisions.We do not have an immigration problem because America is a bad place. We have an immigration problem because this is the best country to live in on the entire planet.
I think we need to worry more about our politicians and communist ideologists working to promote remorse and shame for our past success overseas and pay more attention to the loss of our freedoms and the incessant push for socialism in the United States. My father and six uncles fought for our freedoms in WWII. Because of the values held by that generation we do not goose step and we do not speak German. Dammit folks, wake up, we know the enemy and he is us!
If you support government control of your life, cradle to grave, please move to Cuba or Venezuela and be sure to keep us updated on your new found freedoms and the bliss we are missing.
Today this is freedom of speech and thought. What about tomorrow?
