Wall Funds

I found out today that there is actually a Go Fund Me campaign to raise funds for the wall between us and Mexico. I was shocked and that doesn't happen very often.

I couldn't believe that there is actually a Go Fund Me for this. I had heard about with Lionel Nation, but I thought maybe was more tired than I realized. But no. Think about the money we have given countries around the world who have nuclear programs. If you can afford a nuclear program, you don't need foreign aid. The money we have wasted in Afghanistan alone could have paid for 8 walls.

I wonder if the East Germans were asked to pay for their imprisonment? No! I found a piece of propaganda which was used to sell the people on the wall being a great idea. See the links below, it's in German. Do you remember how Trump was selling his wall? Yeah! To "protect" us from bad guys from Mexico and her southern neighbors.

It's the same thing different generation. The outcome will be the same. So the next time you see someone saying, let's build a wall, hand them a hammer, bag of concrete, and move out of their way. Me, I see this wall for what it will be, a disaster.

War Is A Racket

  This is an excellent quick read. If you don’t have ADHD, it’s a quick read. I started this book before Thanksgiving so between the holidays and every day crazy train I finally finished it. Of course, I made notes in each chapter about my thoughts. We’ll see if this helped compared to the chapter-by-chapter review we did on The New Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man by John Perkins.  Throughout the book, General Butler covers the ins and outs of war. He looks at the financial cost and the human cost. He starts out by explaining how the military-industrial complex was formed. Which I do think is critical. Most people in America don’t understand what the military-industrial complex is. Never mind how it is used. I am not going into detail here just read The New Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man. You will understand the order in which things unfold. The minority of Americans know who profits from war and who doesn’t. General Butler covers that as well. You will notice I said ‘m...

How America Angered God Lust

  We left off at Wrath. Now we will continue this list and finish it out. Sin: Lust This is the sin that nails us all. It is wanting power, pleasure, and money. Not necessarily all of these but one or all.  I grew up in the 1980s so when I think of examples of this particular sin I am reminded of Jim Baker and Jessica Hawn. He was married to Tammy and lusted after two things; money and Jessica. Their lust brought them down in the end. Tammy had her own lust for money that contributed to their downfall.  Ten Commandment:  Thou shall not commit adultery.  Virtue: Chastity Being chaste is recommended by Christ. In the book of Mathew chapters 19: 12 and 22: 20 Christ talks of being chaste. Being chaste teaches discipline. https://youtu.be/7Y8lHwOIu_A
