Bonus Army 2.0

After WW I, the soldiers who served under the “selective service” were promised compensation from the back wages they would have earned had they not been chosen for “selective service”. The stipulation was they wouldn’t get anything until 1941. Congress and Senate signed this bill betting that the soldiers would not be alive then. Therefore, nothing would be paid out. Do see where I am going here? They signed a bill they had NO intent of keeping to.

There has been a great deal of resistance to SB 16. Rightfully so. This is our right to bear arms as we see fit. It also violates our fourth amendment right to protect and secure our home to our satisfaction. Here is my concern. Y’all are going to go to the capital of Virginia and there will be a repeat of the Bonus Army. I am by no means saying not to protest. That also is our constitutional right in the first amendment. To have our grievance heard by our representatives. Except they aren’t actually our representatives anymore. They represent an elite class that’s not us. Half of them aren’t even citizens of this country. Below will be links to videos that can give you a quick rundown on the Bonus Army and what happened. 

PLEASE BE SMART! KEEP YOUR EMOTIONS IN CHECK AND YOUR HEADS CLEAR!

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
