Retirement offers one many opportunities. One that I’ve welcomed is the time to pursue my lifelong desire to write. More specifically, to write a book. Yesterday my first book was published and is now available on Amazon. What’s it about you ask? Glad you asked. “It’s a cold dark December evening, and William and George Younger are arguing over election fraud, the current culture war, human trafficking, “States’ rights”, and the Electoral College which threaten to tear apart America. However, this is not 2024, it is 1860 and the prospect of war looms over the horizon. Faced with the potential of armed rebellion following the “fraudulent” 1860 election of Abraham Lincoln Congressional halls down to local taverns and homes, America searches for an answer to an increasingly divided nation. One argues for tolerance and peace, the other: armed rebellion. With each carrying diverging beliefs, yet a love that binds together a father and son, William and George enlist with the Confederacy in America’s Civil War and fight shoulder-to-shoulder in Kentucky’s notorious Orphan Brigade. Amidst the chaos of the Civil War, one follows a conventional approach to soldiering, where the other takes a more subversive, anarchic, and lethal path.” I hope you enjoy it.

Paying it forward

D-Day, 06 JUN 44, 0600 hours, 666, more than 150,000 Allied troops landed on the shores of Normandy, in Nazi-occupied France. Was it a masonic ritual of blood sacrifice? People who plan these events know the exact esoteric meaning behind them, and they get planned much in advance. My grandfather, Charles A. Narmour Sr, survived the 2nd wave at Omaha Beach and the Battle of the Bulge, so this is very upsetting to me as well, and the last thing I want to do is make an irresponsible post about a topic that has negatively affected so many American lives for the last 80 years because of lost loved ones. In fact, approximately 10,414 troops died from both sides on D-Day alone. 4,414 Allied troops, including 2,501 Americans, needlessly lost their lives, and Germany lost approximately 6,000 troops on D-Day. Unless some new information comes forward, I most likely won’t ever be able to prove a masonic ritual of blood sacrifice took place on D-Day, but in my opinion, it’s our responsibility to honor the fallen by not settling for anything other than the truth because, like a lion, the truth can defend itself. I’m sure they’re observing us intently today from Heaven because they know the truth. Unfortunately, this is the first of many lies pertaining to WWII that need to be prayed over, exposed, and respectfully discussed, and Patriots other than myself also need to step up and use their unique expertise and knowledge, so we can move forward as a Republic. The faster we wake up to the deception, the faster we can achieve collective consciousness as a group, and end the madness we’re currently experiencing as a nation as soon as possible. I’ve known about this narrative pertaining to D-Day for a few years, and I’ve been researching and praying against the forces of darkness even longer, but I didn’t feel comfortable enough to make a post about it until today, 06 JUN 24, exactly 80 years after D-Day and in the year of The Great Awakening. It would mean the narrative that’s always been told about the rainout on 05 JUN 44 and subsequent 24 hour postponement until 06 JUN 44 was a preplanned lie all along, but it really did rain, and they probably wouldn’t have questioned it anyway. However, I’m sure they had a myriad of alibis on standby if needed. Those young men were nothing more than pawns in a banker’s war. The ones who died after volunteering to go to war because of what reportedly happened at Pearl Harbor on 07 DEC 41 are the reason I’m willing to put my name and reputation on the line. Heavenly Father, because D-Day happened 80 years ago, it means those who were doing the fighting that day would be around 100 years old if they’re still alive and cognitive. This one’s bigger than we are, and we realize it’s now yours. Thanking you in advance, in Jesus name, Amen! Please pray constantly for spiritual discernment. #DDay Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. Ephesians 5:11

Memorial Day, originally known as Decoration Day, is a federal holiday in the United States for honoring and mourning the U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. This Memorial Day is a time for the collective consciousness of this nation to recognize that that it can not be clearer that we are at an existential crossroads in our political and civic lives. In this 2024 election year we honor our fallen heroes and remember the sacrifices made by our Veterans and service members in defending our freedom. All patriotic Americans, who have a deep love and loyalty for our country, willingly, enthusiastically, and respectfully honor those Americans who sacrificially chose to lay their lives on the line in a myriad of different ways to protect constitutional republic. Therefore, it is incumbent upon all Americans this Memorial Day to pause and reflect on the following: We cannot survive as a democracy if only one party is willing to accept defeat. We will not keep our constitutional republic if Americans are willing to subvert election results to empower Donald Trump and his Republican Party. It is a sad fact that Trump has long dishonored the U.S. military by repeatedly disparaging the intelligence of service members, asking that wounded veterans be kept out of military parades, and insulting Americans who died in War (fallen soldiers) by calling them "suckers” and "losers!” Memorial Day is a time to honor and mourn the U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the Armed Forces. As we reflect on our nation's values, we recognize the sacrifices made by our Veterans and service members in defending our freedom. Trump's strategy for the 2024 election is concerning. The use of the "firehose of falsehoods" propaganda technique is aimed at spreading repetitive lies to confuse people and discourage them from voting. This tactic, utilized by "influencers," is evident in Trump's consistent repetition of false claims, outside the courtroom. This Memorial Day, let us remember that the strength of our democracy lies in respecting election results and upholding our constitutional republic. It is crucial for all Americans to unite in honoring those who bravely protected our nation, especially in the face of disparaging remarks that dishonor their service. #MemorialDay #Veterans #USMilitary #ElectionYear2024 #Elecciones2024 #Election2024 #civicengagement #civiceducation

Lessons…                                                                               …From History Lessons learned or the same old mistakes? How many times have we heard that hackneyed empty phrase ‘lessons have been learned so that it will never happen again’. Well ‘it’ does happen again time after time, without any consequence for those who should be held to account, often promoted. The D Day 80 commemorations 1944 – 2024 took place on Thursday 6 June. Closer to home the Chelsea Pensioners were out in style for their Founders Day Parade. We should always remember them and their sacrifice (talk is cheap, actions count). My son is named after his uncle who joined the war effort as a young man to fight for the freedoms we enjoy. After 9 months of training he went on active service and was shot down in a plane, dying 2 days later. He was 19 years old. I wonder whether he would think, looking at the world today, the sacrifice he made with his life was worth it. Characteristics of our armed forces are honourable service, stewardship of the profession, military expertise, esprit de corps and trust. What a better world we would live in if these applied across the board to institutions, organisations and political circles. Integrity matters and those that hold power should be invested in it. We seem to live in a quagmire of ‘my truth (or narrative), your truth (or narrative)’ versus ‘the actual/factual truth (the reality)’. We have the right to expect better, call out the bad, bring in the good. Change is always possible if people choose to make positive change. #OwningYourWellbeing make a good call. https://lnkd.in/eQs7KVth

As Conspiracy Theories Abound, Can We Restore Trust in Public Health?-- Yes, if we engage the public more directly. Is there an intersection between healthcare and public health trust? ...Your thoughts? With the House still investigating the pandemic, its origins, and our government's responses -- and with perhaps the most well-known public health figure in the hot seat (Anthony Fauci, MDopens in a new tab or window) -- now seems a good time to reflect on how we might begin to restore our trust in public health.[MedPage Today] Understanding the Root of Conspiracy Theories In the mid-to-late 90s, I worked for a member of Congress who represented the high desert of California. If you have never visited this area, it is both beautiful and dangerous. Hot and dry with few people, it is home to two of the most famous military facilities in the world: Edwards Air Force Base and Naval Air Weapons Station at China Lake. Both are renowned, though one more than the other. While the Space Shuttle occasionally landed at Edwards, affording it more attention, China Lake is not as well-known. Yet, it is the home to the development and testing of some of the most advanced weapons in the military's arsenal.
