https://lnkd.in/gi6F9ZDr As a baby boomer, I grew up watching those black and white newsreels back in the 1950s before the Saturday matinee of the World War II battles both in Europe and in the Pacific. I remember hearing this song during that era. It's a song of hope. Even in the darkness of war, there is optimism for a better day. That was a time in our own country of realization that war is hell and that if war must be waged, as FDR declared "the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory." Do Americans today understand the concept of righteous might? I hope we still understand both parts of that. Righteousness and might. Might in the sense of strength, not might in the sense of maybe. Do we understand that we must win and that there are no runner-up or consolation trophies? Do we comprehend there is no substitute for victory? In the Philippines, the surrender at Corregidor led to the Bataan Death March. I wasn't there to second guess General Wainwright. But surrender to an heartless enemy is not a viable option. We have to confront China and stop the CCP aggression and hegemony now before it reaches the point of no return. Once again the Philippines is Ground Zero where we must take our stand. You can be certain that the Axis of China, Russia and Iran are more merciless than what we faced 80 years ago. Think that this is December 6, 1941. Instead of a fleet band competition at the Bloch Arena at Pearl Harbor, we are mobilizing to confront an enemy BEYOND our own shores. 🇺🇲

BREAKING: U.S. Military Authorized to Kill Americans – Ron Paul Warns of Looming Civil War Under New DoD Directive! Breaking: The U.S. military has been quietly authorized to use lethal force against Americans on U.S. soil under DoD Directive 5240.01. Ron Paul warns of a dangerous shift toward civil war, as the government prepares for internal conflict. This is not a drill—it’s a declaration of intent. WARNING: The U.S. government has crossed a line, and the mainstream media is silent. The Department of Defense has reissued a directive granting the U.S. military the authority to kill American citizens on U.S. soil. With barely a whisper from Congress, Directive 5240.01 has been reissued—this time, it includes provisions for lethal force. Former congressman Ron Paul isn’t holding back, warning Americans: “The U.S. military was just authorized to kill Americans on U.S. soil… This is very dangerous.” This is no mistake. The military has been legally empowered to turn its weapons inward, and the battlefield? Our streets. Our homes. Our lives. What’s going on? Why isn’t the media screaming about this? The Department of Defense has made a calculated move. Directive 5240.01, reissued on September 27, 2024, replaced its 2016 version. But this time, there’s a chilling difference: the military can use lethal force on U.S. soil under certain circumstances. Your Government Just Armed Itself Against You This is no accident—it’s by design. The U.S. government has armed itself with legal and bureaucratic power to silence, suppress, and eliminate internal dissent. The reissuance of Directive 5240.01 is a warning shot. The military, created to protect us from foreign enemies, now turns inward. They aren’t preparing for defense anymore. They’re preparing for domination. The battlefield? America. The enemy? You. Martial Law in Everything But Name Let’s be clear: The U.S. military is now authorized to use deadly force against its own citizens, with little oversight or accountability. When the government starts seeing its people as enemies, what comes next? This directive proves the government is no longer focused on liberty—it’s consolidating power. This isn’t preparation for defense. It’s a blueprint for suppression. They’ve put their pieces into place, arming themselves while you weren’t looking. The Administrative State’s Power Grab This is bureaucratic tyranny. By reissuing a directive, the government has bypassed Congress and public scrutiny, giving the military power to kill on American soil. You didn’t vote for this, but it’s now the law. This isn’t hypothetical. It’s real. It’s ready to be executed. The government will define “emergency,” and that will be their excuse for violence. Ron Paul’s Urgent Warning Ron Paul’s warning is urgent. If we don’t pay attention, if we don’t fight back, the next step is full-blown martial law. The military’s role has shifted—they aren’t here to protect you. They’re preparing for conflict with you.

The swells that sunk the 729' #EdmundFitzgerald, the last of the great wrecks of the #GreatLakes, cleared the pilothouse at 50' above the waterline. The same sets came up behind the #ArthurMAnderson 10-miles astern to her west in the icy waters of #LakeSuperior. All hands of the Fitzgerald went down 49 yrs ago today, the 10th, her bell only recovered in 1995. Like the Titanic and the North Atlantic, Superior is too cold to give up her dead. Perhaps not even as dramatic as the 639' #CarlDBradley snapping in half on the surface of #LakeMichigan to the south near #Milwaukee, November 18th, 1958. 33 lost, 2 survived, widowing 23 in Rogers City, MI alone. A mass funeral was held at a local church, all but nine of the caskets were empty. The 647' Anderson still steams the lakes, splash date 1957, operated by #GreatLakesShipping, Duluth, MN, a subsidiary of #USsteel. November 11th marks the date where the surface temperature of the Lakes and the air temp above have the highest disparity causing a tempestuous climate. #Sweetwater being fast and wet, swells run high and close, a ship can spend much of its voyage below water. And being the end of the shipping season before the ice, heightened last minute traffic means higher risks. The #GreatWhiteHurricane of 1913 began on November 6th. 271 mariners and 11 ships lost, 11 more aground, mostly in the first six hours. There are 7000 shipwrecks on the North American Great Lakes over 400yrs, starting with the mystery of the #Griffen only found recently in Green Bay, and representing ~30,000 lives lost at sea, among 17,000 kilometers of littoral, 35,000 islands, 28,000 cubic-kilometers of water, or 21% of the world's liquid fresh surface water. No, you may not have any. #TheFitz #TheRealThirdCoast #Freshwater #NATO #Hollywood #Rustbelt #Bloodroot #MKE #PalmsToTheBlock #WhiteTrashGreenWater #414

On this day in 1804, Aaron Burr shoots Hamilton in Weehaken, New Jersey How did these two former friends and wartime compatriots end up facing each other in a duel? Some might say - 🔶 Honor 🔶 Courage 🔶 Pride 🔶 Politics 🔶 All the above and more What if this was a communication issue? What if Washington had been alive? What if Hamilton’s behavior that become more aggressive was part of Hamilton learning life again without his mentor and protector in life? These were the years where you couldn’t be outright about your desire to be successful, be in politics, or be a leader - it was filled with false humility because being more humble meant others were more likely to trust you - George Washington was a master at this…while Burr and Hamilton were not These two young men come to the forefront of society after the war and both are clearly ambitious, competing with each other, taking digs at each (anonymously and directly), to the point one dies and the other becomes a scourge of high society The Burr-Hamilton feud is a fascinating case study of friend to enemy dynamics and what can happen when you give two people weapons and allow them to take the opportunity to fire them at another The more I learn, the more questions I have… What are your thoughts on these two revolutionary forces of American history? #ushistory #history #communication #frienimies (Image courtesy of history.com)

𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐠 𝐃𝐚𝐲: 𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐬 National Flag Day, observed on June 14th every year, is a celebration of the American flag and a time to reflect on its storied history and the values it represents. From the earliest days of independence to the present modern era, the American flag has stood as a symbol of freedom, bravery, and unity. On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress passed an act establishing an official flag for the new nation. The resolution stated: “Resolved, that the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation.” The stars on the American flag today represent the 50 states of the Union, a stark evolution from the original circle of 13 stars that symbolized the unity of the colonies. The stripes retain their original count at 13, continuing to represent those first colonies. The colors of the flag also carry their own meaning: red stands for valor and bravery; blue for vigilance, perseverance, and justice; and white for purity and innocence. Together, these elements weave a visual story of a country's ongoing quest for liberty and justice for all. This Flag Day, consider showing your patriotism by proudly displaying the flag in or outside your home or business.
