PROLOGUE

This book is a testament to my profound concern for the future of the United States. The political insanity that has overtaken our nation, fueled by the apathy of American citizens and their failure to keep a vigilant eye on our governing politicians, is leading to the loss of the America I grew up in. My grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and future generations will never experience this reality. We are living in a time of political insanity, witnessing the rapid transformation of our Constitutional Republic into a Marxist-Communist Nation.

I offer a critique of our bloated and corrupt federal bureaucracy and our two-party political system that has failed to support and protect our Judeo-Christian and conservative values. The parties have lost their moral compass, strength, and courage to stand against those who would see our Constitutional Republic fall. This has allowed ushering in a non-representative governing system due to elected officials lacking the leadership, statesmanship, and moral character to unify America and save our Constitutional form of government and our Judeo-Christian values. I highlight the lack of government leaders with the will, strength, and courage to serve We the People with honor and integrity.

American Insanity addresses the depth of corruption and treasonous acts to which our once-trusted elected officials have descended. It dissects a lawless, inefficient, ineffective, out-of-control, and bloated bureaucracy that governs beyond the people’s consent. American Insanity addresses the unconstitutional and illegal activities of a government determined to strip the American citizenry of their rights and freedoms and fundamentally transform our Constitutional Republic into a Marxist-Communist third-world Nation.

What is presented in this book are not just opinions but my deeply held personal views, interpretations, and opinions. They are not meant to reflect or represent anyone else’s views or feelings regarding any subject matter I address unless otherwise quoted as being another’s insight or information. It must also be pointed out that any reference to Marxist-Communist Democrat Party is intended to refer to the Party leadership and radical elements of the Democrat Party and not individual Democrat voters personally. Further, any reference to American conservatism means support of Christian values, moral absolutism, traditional family values, and American exceptionalism while opposing abortion, euthanasia, same-sex marriage, and transgender rights.

Chapter 1

Where Am I

I have just awoken in the Twilight Zone, a dysfunctional junction in time and space. In this place, absurdity overwhelms common sense, and individuals have become nothing more than hateful and intolerable human beings incapable of interacting with one another or discussing each other’s beliefs and values without disdain toward those with different points of view or opinions.

I find myself in the land of the brave, where the brave can no longer find the courage and strength to stand against radical, woke malcontents determined to bring chaos and uncertainty to our lives. No matter which way I turn, I see political clowns to one side and woke jokers to the other side, and standing with me between them is fear for the future of our children and our Nation.

Where am I that so much apathy exists among people living in a country that provides so much freedom and opportunities, who have lost their faith in God and their faith in a Nation founded upon Judeo-Christian values? Are there really that many willing to worship at the altar of Marxi tenth of the casualties sustained, and maybe, just maybe, we would st-Communism, believing that their salvation rests in the hands of a godless and evil government willing to make slaves of them? I am mentally unable to grasp the reality of this place because this is not the United States of America of my youth. Instead, this is a place being consumed by an evil that is Marxist-Communism.

I am dumbfounded that there are so many American citizens who truly believe that life under Marxist-Communism would be euphoria while life under a Constitutional Republic is oppressive; that being a subject of a Marxist-Communism form of government under one-party rule will provide for a more free and prosperous life than would a Constitutional Republic form of government subject to the will of We the People and does not treat its citizens as subject but instead places the rights of its citizens above the rights of the government. Are there so many so ready to give up their God-given rights under a constitution that guarantees each of its citizens freedoms found nowhere else in the world? Can this still be the United States of America, whose past generations were capable of setting aside their differences and were able to find the strength, courage, and determination to confront and defeat the evil of Nazism, Fascism, and Communism?

Could we have lived in a land of freedom for so long that our citizens now assume they are entitled to these freedoms and privileges with no obligation to protect and fight to retain them? What happened to the greatest and strongest God-fearing nation on earth? This is not the America I grew up in, so what happened to the land of the brave and the home of the free? What happened to the land of diversity in which every citizen had God-given rights, talents, and skills that contributed to achieving their dreams and, by extension, the prosperity of our great Nation if only they were willing to make the necessary sacrifices to achieve those dreams? Is this not still the United States of America in which each one of us was so privileged to be born? Have any one of us ever wished to live anywhere else, including the anti-American malcontents?

Where am I that so many citizens have come to care so little about what is occurring within their government and seem to not care about the real possibility that their children and grandchildren will never know the America of their grandparents and great-grandparents? How is it that so much has changed so rapidly, or is it more conceivable that these changes have been slowly occurring over time, but we have been so preoccupied with worldly achievements that we have failed to recognize what has been happening all about us? I struggle to believe that I am still in the country which was founded and fought for by a rag-tag army of brave men and women to gain their freedom from tyranny and oppression. Men and women with the courage and conviction to fight against England, the most powerful military force in the world in their time.

I am no longer in the country that those brave individuals fought for, risking their fortunes and their very lives for a dream of freedom from tyranny and oppression. Men with the courage and wisdom to form a new Nation governed by a constitution that grants every citizen God-given rights to the blessings of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Has America reached that point in its history, which Benjamin Franklin warned about in his statement that We have a Republic if we can keep it, that a constitution written to withstand the passage of time has failed to do so? Have so many citizens of these United States become so addicted to free benefits and entitlements that they are willing to allow the entire Nation to be sucked into an abyss of slavery by the government?

Where am I that the leadership of some of the world’s largest and most successful corporations has been so easily driven to fear by intellectually irrational Woke fools? It is inconceivable that individuals and companies with the ability to become so successful in a highly competitive world could so easily be brought to their knees by such a small number of woke agitators, causing them to capitulate to their woke nonsense. Are they not among the brave of the United States, and if so, where are they, and why do they not have the courage to stand up against these despots and say, NO this is not acceptable!" Bravery and courage are lost among the leadership of these giant corporations. Why else would those with the intellectual ability and courage to take the risks necessary to become so successful not realize that becoming involved with purely political agendas will only result in their demise? Their place is to ensure that their products meet the expectations of their customers and a profit margin acceptable to their shareholders and not to become involved in the latest politically correct trend.

We have become so morally weak in mind and spirit that God may very well have given up on our once truly Judeo-Christian nation, or perhaps God is merely testing our faith in him and in our Constitutional Republic. Will the faithful find the strength to endure and banish the evil that is Marxist-Communism, or will we suffer the same demise of so many other promising nations throughout history and fall into the clutches of this evil that is Marxist-Communism? Is the anti-Christ present among us instilling hatred and disdain for one another when, not so long ago, we all stood united in our Christian values and heritage?

Have we become so addicted to self-satisfaction and self-gratification that America has become no more than a second Sodom and Gomorrah, slowly being destroyed by God for our wickedness? Has a diabolical movement taken control of a once patriotic John F. Kennedy Democrat Party and turned that Party into a stronghold of evil?

Americans are confused and disorientated as a result of all the caustic political rhetoric being thrown at them, causing great concern in our country’s ability to find a path out of this hollow hell and return to being the home of freedom, liberty, and security. Corrupt sociopathic minions from hell are elected to government positions only to turn around and use those positions to destroy our Constitutional Republic and We the People without shame or remorse. To destroy the one country in the world that remains a Judeo-Christian Constitutional Republic under God’s guidance. I wonder where I am that no matter how I vote, how I participate, what I say, or how much I pray, Satan’s grip on our Nation’s elected officials seems beyond salvation; where elected officials, who once were believed to be trustworthy and honorable, and as such, in whom we entrusted our faith to protect our Constitution and We the People, but rather have abandoned us. Trust obviously misplaced! We are in a strange dimension of the universe wherein the America we so loved and many have fought for has been consumed by wickedness. An evil wickedness determined to turn our Judeo-Christian Constitutional Republic into a malicious abyss. An abyss of chaos, riots, hate, distrust, corruption, and divisiveness.

Where am I that the Constitutional right to speak freely regarding one’s thoughts and opinions or to practice one’s religious doctrine without fear of government retribution has suddenly vanished? Are not those with conservative viewpoints still citizens of the United States of America? Innocent and vulnerable citizens can no longer live safely, families struggle to feed their children, young couples can no longer afford to buy their first homes, and citizens struggle to put gas in their vehicles to go travel to work.

Where are we that children can no longer expect to receive an education that will prepare them for a successful life without their being indoctrinated to values and beliefs not held by their parents? Where radical teachers are allowed to brainwash our children to be racist, subject them to age-inappropriate sexual material, subject them to drag queen reading hour or sexually explicit performances, encourage students as young as five and six years old to believe that they were born in the wrong body and, therefore, should be provided with school resources to assist them in transitioning? All without the explicit permission of the parents.

I struggle to grasp the possibility that I am still in the America I so loved, with so much disdain all around me. Once trusted leaders are no more than evil and deceitful minions of the devil, willingly and knowingly committing treasonous acts against America’s Constitution, laws, and its citizens. In this place, the devil has brought together the most incompetent, corrupt, and heartless individuals to lead America, all of whom are systematically attacking, intimidating, and destroying the lives of American citizens much in the same manner Stalin did to gain control of the citizens of the Soviet Union. Citizens who must be brought under control or eliminated because they proudly subscribe to the ideology of conservatism and refer to themselves as Christians or MEGA followers of a previous President. A previous President who was fraudulently and criminally denied reelection to his rightful position as the President of the United States.

Where am I that if a biological male pretends to be a female, I am obligated to accept their mentally ill delusion and pretend along with them; that allows biological males who self-identify as females to unfairly compete in female sports, shower in female locker rooms, or utilize female bathrooms in our federally funded schools; that foreign nations influencing our elections is bad, but illegal immigrants voting in our elections is good; or that people who never owned slaves should pay reparations to people who have never been slaves.

Where am I that illegal immigrants are provided free housing, education, food, and medical care at taxpayer expense while veterans who served honorably in our military forces to protect our constitutional Republic are sleeping in the street and America’s poor are going hungry, where illegal immigrants with tuberculosis or polio are welcomed, but you had better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated?

In this foreign place, it is not the terrorist from the Middle East coming over our open border that is America’s greatest threat; it is not the unvetted Afghanistan citizens who were flown out of Afghanistan to America and may have intentions of harming our citizens that are America’s greatest threat; it is not Antifa or Black Lives Matter, who have maliciously destroyed small business, burned down law enforcement buildings, murdered police officers and innocent citizens, and rioted in the streets of our cities across the country that are America’s greatest threat; nor is it fentanyl and other deadly drugs smuggled across our open border killing tens of thousands of our young children and adults that are America’s greatest threat. It is none of these, according to the corrupt Marxist-Communist politicians and their Washington elitist allies. To these morally deprived agents of evil, it is law-abiding citizens who refuse to accept their Marxist-Communist ideologies, who refuse to accept the radical transition of our Constitutional Republic into a nation of chaos, hate, and division that are America’s greatest threat. It is those with the courage to stand up and fight against this evil who are the terrorists and the most significant threat to America.

Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate to the United States must undergo years of rigorous vetting. Still, malicious, illiterate gang bangers, traffickers, drug smugglers, and terrorists who illegally enter our country are welcomed with open arms without the need to wait their turn or to be subjected to any vetting.

Where am I that $5 billion for border security is too expensive, but billions of dollars to anti-American nations to secure their borders is not; where if you are caught cheating or lying to gain admission to a college, you are rejected and villainized, but if you cheat or lie to get into our country, you go to college for free; or, those who commit election fraud are not held accountable, but those who can provide substantial evidence of that fraud or the mathematical improbability of the election results are persecuted and prosecuted?

Is it even conceivable that the land of the free and the brave is now the land of despair and hopelessness because Marxist-Communist puppets have led American citizens to believe that all white American citizens are racist from birth and must, therefore, be punished for atrocities they had no part in? That all people of color are born oppressed with no hope of achieving the American dream or must be paid retribution for wrongs they never experienced? Would it not be the faithless and Godless people who pretend to serve the American people from within our government be America’s greatest threat? How is it possible that the Marxist-Communist puppets, who have no problem weaponizing the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) against their political rivals and We the People not be America’s greatest threat? Should it not be those who despise our freedoms and belief in a God who has provided us our earthly rights be the villains and shunned by the people?

Where am I that a Marxist-Communist movement will insist that there is no such thing as gender but, within the same breath, demand a female President be elected; where history documents that Marxist-Communist governed countries always collapse, but somehow Marxist-Communism seems like an excellent idea for the United States; where dangerous criminals are caught-and-released back into our communities by George Soros bought-off District Attorneys, only to harm more people, but attempting to stop them while they are committing a crime is a violation of their civil rights?

Where am I that soulless minions of the Marxist-Communist movement can, without fear of retribution, attack, threaten, and intimidate every freedom-loving conservative citizen into accepting an ideology they do not believe in; into thinking that there is no God or God-given rights but only rights given by the government; where every MAGA conservative, every parent of school-age children who dares confront school boards regarding a school’s curriculum, and every citizen who owns a weapon are considered domestic terrorists?

Where am I that law-abiding citizens are intimidated if they fail to accept and comply with an ideology against their moral values? Where those who dare exercise their God-given rights under America’s constitution are intimidated, harassed, publicly humiliated, hunted down, and jailed because they dared to speak out against an evil and corrupt government and the corrupt politicians within that government. Are these people really the greatest threat to America, or are they the greatest threat to the elitist status of corrupt Washington political hacks?

Have the Marxist-Communist elements in Washington, D.C., rescinded the Constitution, allowing them to provide funding to the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), not to improve a failed mail delivery system but rather to establish a unit to spy on American citizens and to fund the IRS with an additional $82 billion to hire and support 80,000 new Gestapo agents willing to carry firearms and shoot their fellow American citizens? Would not the USPS or the IRS, an already feared agency, turned into a Russian-style KGB unit to hunt down American citizens who dare defy the evil Marxist-Communist ideology, be America’s greatest threat? How can this still possibly be the United States of America if federal departments and agencies, which once served the people, can so easily be politicized and weaponized into an army against its law-abiding citizens? How can this still possibly be the United States of America if a president is allowed to circumvent Congress and legislate by passing Executive Orders depriving Americans of their freedoms during a pandemic? Is it truly America if health officials can cancel rental contracts or declare loan payments in suspension? Must we look forward to the future closing of mom-and-pop stores, the engine of the American economy, declaring it illegal for them to sell flowers or shoes during quarantine but not so for Walmart or Target? Is this what American citizens can now expect any time the federal government determines it advantageous to declare a medical emergency to quarantine the masses in order to control them?

Where am I that the government can create a government Ministry of Truth agency? Whose truths will be determined appropriate or inappropriate, and by whom? Will there be an objective manual available to the Ministry of Truth to make these determinations, or will these determinations be subjective based on the ideology of the ruling regime? Just one more sign out of many that our freedom of speech and expression is soon to be made illegal by a rogue Marxist-Communist federal government. A government that feels free to either intimidate or bribe big tech social media to monitor conservative conversations and cancel any that do not meet the Marxist-Communist Democrat Party’s standards. It has become physically dangerous to speak the truth on a university or college campus where the objective is to provide students a platform to debate different viewpoints and ideas.

Can this be the America in which so many brave men and women have sacrificed their lives to defend our right to be safe in our homes and our person, while brain-dead woke followers call for the defunding of our law enforcement units, leaving American citizens unsafe and open to violent crimes propagated by individuals who have little to no regard for our laws; where destructive and violent criminals are not being held accountable for destroying the lives of innocent people, but rather are given inappropriately minimum to no punishment for their crimes by an injustice legal system? At the same time, the immense power of the federal government is arrayed against those whose only crime is dissent and protest, as allowed under our Constitution, against these unjust and lawless actions,

Can I possibly still be in the free America I grew up in if what I observe is a police state in which citizens with opposing ideologies are being intimidated, harassed, and arrested for expressing political views that do not fit the Marxist-Communist narrative? In this place, law has been turned from a shield to protect the innocent into a sword to conquer the people.

Where am I that a Speaker of the House would, with impunity, so disrespectfully tear up the State of the Union address on national television because she hates the person who delivered that speech? Hated for his solid Christian conservative views and his strength and courage to take on the Washington bureaucracy.

Where am I that the FBI has the right to subvert the campaign of such a candidate because it disagrees with that person’s ideology? Was it suddenly made legal for one presidential candidate to hire a foreign ex-spy to subvert the campaign of their rival through the creation of a fake dossier? If not, then why is such behavior going unpunished? What happened to our once honorable legal system?

In this strange place, there are no borders but rather a place open to every other country’s criminal element: drug dealers, traffickers of young children and girls, the mentally ill, the poor, and their freeloaders. America is nothing more than an extension of the corrupt and dysfunctional countries of Central America and beyond. The place I now find myself is rapidly spiraling out of control from a once prosperous, safe, and free Nation into a land of historical deterioration. This once prosperous Nation now faces record-high crime rates, record-high inflation, record-high fuel prices, record-high food prices, dependency on foreign countries for energy supplies, and the control of its citizens through unconstitutional mandates. A place where citizens have been pushed into a world of unemployment, welfare, and need for financial and housing assistance from the government in a strategic Marxist-Communist move to enslave our citizens to a corrupt government. This is not the land for which so many proudly served in combat to protect.

Where am I that our legal system can abruptly decide that theft is not a crime, assault not a felony, where thieves can walk out of stores with bags of stolen goods without fear of the law because of Soros-funded District Attorneys; where District Attorneys who have taken an oath to uphold the law are no better than the criminals who terrorize our streets; or, where District Attorney’s elections are being allowed to be financed by evil and corrupt out-of-state billionaires determined to foster chaos within our legal system? Is it not the intention of the election process to be conducted, in all aspects, by those who reside in that state and to whom that District Attorney represents and answers to and not wealthy billionaires from out of state to whom that elected District Attorney then owes his allegiance? How can citizens of that state receive unbiased legal justice if that District Attorney’s loyalty is to an outside influencer and not the citizens of the state they were elected to provide legal justice?

When did We the People decide that seventy percent of voters are incapable of casting their ballots on Election Day, allowing for the Marxist-Communist movement to ignore their State Constitution and laws, allowing for days, if not weeks, to perform this civic duty; provides for the use of unsecured ballot drop-boxes which were are so easily stuffed with phony ballots to sway an election? Who determined that members of minority groups were intellectually incapable of obtaining a photo identification card to vote, yet those same people must have a photo identification card to purchase certain medications, enter certain facilities, or drive their vehicles? What an insult to our minority citizens. Were these revolutionary changes to our election processes the subject of state or national debate by elected representatives?

Where am I that voter returns cannot be counted and election results made public by the end of election day? It was only a short time ago that this was how our elections were conducted. Did the fact that our government turned to electronic ballots and computerized tallies make it that difficult to tabulate votes? If so, is this not a clear justification for returning to the traditional one-vote, one-day, paper ballot policy?

Where am I that a once trusted FBI allows its directors to mislead or outright lie to Congress, deceive judges with concocted tales from fake dossiers and doctored documents, and do so without repercussion? Did Congress pass a law that leadership within the FBI or Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) could lie with impunity under oath without consequences? Meanwhile, average citizens face heavy fines and jail time for the same act. In light of everything we know today about how the corrupt FBI and the Department of Justice (DOJ) conduct their business, perhaps it is time to revisit the tragedy of Waco and Ruby Ridge. Maybe the narratives we were initially given were manufactured by the FBI and the DOJ, much like what comes out of those agencies today.

Who proclaimed that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff had the authority to call his Chinese Communist counterpart to warn him if a supposedly unstable American president was planning an attack and do so without fear of facing charges of treason? Is this not treason? If such an act is treason, why has there been no accountability held against the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for doing so?

Has it always been true that retired generals routinely labeled their former commander-in-chief as a Nazi, a Mussolini, or an adherent advocate of the tools of Auschwitz? If such comments by former prominent military leaders are held to be protected by the First Amendment, then why are American citizens who question face masks, untested vaccines, or quarantines being subjected to cancellation on social media at the direction of our federal legal system, or worse yet harassed, intimidated, and threatened with legal action by our federal legal system? Who within our federal government or military has been approving retired senior military personnel to enter into contracts with foreign countries, some of which are or potentially may be enemies of our country, to provide and train those foreign entities with our military tactics and strategies? Is this not treason?

It would seem that it is no longer against federal law to swarm the homes of Supreme Court justices to picket their homes to intimidate Justice’s families in efforts to affect a judge’s rulings. If this is not the case and it is still against federal law to do so, how then, with impunity, were the stupidest of our society allowed to surround the homes of our Supreme Court Justices, furious over a Supreme Court decision? A decision that did not rescind any woman’s right to abort their unborn child but merely followed the Constitution and returned legal decisions regarding abortion restrictions back to the sovereign states where those decisions have always belonged. How could these mobs of irrational radicals so easily swarm our justices’ homes without any action or interference from our law enforcement agencies?

Is this not a constitutional republic that provides its citizens unequaled levels of freedom and liberties? If so, how is it that there are citizens who believe our Constitutional Republic is so evil that it needs to be abolished and replaced with an authoritarian form of governance?

Was it really a virus that resulted in the cancellation of many of our Constitutional rights, forced the mandatory lockdown of our schools and small businesses, and robbed us of our collective sanity, or was it the Washington Marxist-Communist Elitist who merely utilized the virus as a means to test their ability to control the population? Who or what allowed brain-dead disciples of Wokism to cause hysteria and ignite insanity within our businesses, corporations, entertainment institutions, and institutions of learning and allowed for the imprisonment of fellow citizens who refused to believe in these falsehoods and ideologies and exercised their Constitutional right to protest and express their grievances and frustrations against a corrupt federal government and election results. Wasn’t America once a land in which its citizens were allowed to hold and express opposing views and beliefs but had the strength to tolerate one another’s viewpoints while remaining united in the hands of God? This is not the United States of America of my youth, so then where am I?

Are we all lost in some surreal reality where those elected to go to Washington to represent We the People are so quick and willing to sell their souls to the temptations of power, status, and wealth? Are we now at the point where it is a genuine possibility that all that has been accomplished over the past two hundred and thirty-two years may be lost because of evil and corrupt political leaders who, without care or remorse, openly disrespect, ignore, or purposely misinterpret our laws and the most significant governing document ever penned by man, the Constitution of the United States of America? Done so in order for the Marxist-Communist Washington elitists to gain control of the population, turning a once proud people into obedient sheep. It is undoubtedly conceivable because that is what happened during the COVID-19 pandemic. We were directed to wear masks, and we complied; we were directed to maintain a six-foot distance between each other when standing in line, and we complied; businesses were directed to close down, and we complied; we were directed to stay in our homes unless we were essential employees and we complied; we were directed to get untested vaccine shots, and we complied.

The Marxist-Communist Washington elitists view clean-burning, cheap, and abundant natural gas as the equivalent to dirty coal and view prized natural gas, which had made America energy self-sufficiency and a world supplier, reduced pollution, and provided inexpensive electricity, a fuel whose extraction was a war against nature. Which lawmakers, laws, and votes by the people declared natural gas development and pipelines criminal? Are we still not a nation of representative governance, and if so, how can our representatives enact these actions when well over half of our eligible voting citizens do not agree with such dramatic actions?

Could I possibly be awake, and the United States of America is the nightmare? Is it possible that this once prosperous and united country has become a divided hell on earth controlled by a small group of wealthy and evil Marxist-Communist elitists determined to change a once free citizenry into nothing more than obedient servants? Can I possibly be awake in a world of nightmares led by corrupt politicians who have never lived a day of their lives as a humane, hardworking American citizen? Individuals so evil, it is difficult, at best, to fathom that we have not descended into hell itself. Is it even conceivable that these cognitively wanting representatives can wreak so much evil without Marxist-Communist puppeteers pulling their strings in the background? If so, who then within the Washington swamp is the devil using to manipulate these corrupt elected officials who are conspiring to destroy a Nation of hope and dreams?

Nightmare or reality, the place I now find myself is a place being led by Marxist-Communist advocates who have no honor or integrity. In this place, corrupt politicians have long since sold their souls and become willing puppets of evil, determined to destroy a Judeo-Christian nation that believes in God, not government—sold their souls for earthly and Godless gifts and disguising themselves as Christians while systematically profoundly, and shamelessly transform the greatest Judeo-Christian Constitutional Republic in the world into nothing more than another tyrannical Godless third world country. Nothing makes sense anymore: no values, morals, or civility.

This is an upside-down world where right is wrong and wrong is right, where moral is immoral and immoral is moral, where good is evil and evil is good, where killing murderers is terrible, but killing unborn babies is okay. America, once the greatest Nation on earth, the Shining Light of the World, has been taken over and consumed by inconceivable levels of evil and is fast spiraling into the abyss of hell from which we may never escape.

Chapter 2

Political Conversion

I grew up in a staunch Catholic Democrat family. My parents and my grandparents, who legally migrated to the United States from Canada, firmly believed in the Democrat Party as the party of the working people. One of my uncles, who served honorably in the Korean War, was a Democrat party official at the State level in North Dakota and strongly advocated for the party’s platform and values. My family passionately believed that elected Democratic officials and the Democrat party would always do the right thing to preserve our Judeo-Christian values, defend our Constitutional Republic, and honor their oath to serve and protect the people of this great Nation. They were all members of the John F. Kennedy era Democrat Party and not the Democrat Party that it has evolved into over the past six decades. Sadly, many members of my family have failed to recognize the evolution of their Democrat Party into a profoundly Marxist Communist-leaning Party. Should they ever come to realize that the current Democrat Party no longer supports their Christian core values and beliefs, they would never maintain their membership in the Democrat Party. They were right in their belief in and support of the Democrat Party until Lyndon B. Johnson became President of the United States. Although the Democrat Party’s shift to the left took a foothold with the 1932 Roosevelt administration, with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the inauguration of President Lyndon B. Johnson, the Democrat Party was placed on an accelerated path to self-destruction as a Marxist-Communist ideological party with the Johnson Administration. Unfortunately, many Republicans who ascribed to Marxism followed Johnson’s lead and voted with the Democrats on Johnson’s Marxist-Communist legislative proposals referred to as the Great New Deal.

Along with President Johnson’s passage of the Great New Deal, President Johnson also escalated the civil war in Viet Nam by injecting American military forces into that civil war between a corrupt, inept, democratically elected South Vietnam government and the South Vietnam Communist (VC) guerrilla forces, which the North Vietnam Communist government of Ho Chi Minh heavily supported. This support to the South Vietnam guerrillas by North Vietnam was the justification used by the Johnson Administration to send American destroyers into the Gulf of Tonkin in 1964 to conduct surveillance and intercept North Vietnamese communications in support of the South Vietnamese civil war efforts.

On August 2, 1964, the United States destroyer USS Maddox was off the coast of North Vietnam in support of a South Vietnam military covert operation in the coastal region of North Vietnam. In response to this operation off their coast, three North Vietnam People’s Navy torpedo boats attacked the USS Maddox. There were no United States casualties, and the USS Maddox was unscathed except for a single bullet hole from a Vietnamese machine gun round. President Johnson claimed that this attack on a United States destroyer was unprovoked even though the destroyer was in that area in direct support of a South Vietnam military operation. President Johnson used this incident to persuade Congress on August 5th, 1964, to allow him to significantly escalate the United States’ involvement in the Vietnam War with the injection of hundreds of thousands of American military personnel.

President Lyndon Johnson and his administration led the American people to believe that not injecting military forces into South Vietnam to defeat Ho Chi Minh’s communist Viet Minh forces would result in a domino effect, leading to the spreading of communism throughout Southeast Asia. The domino theory was a Cold War policy that suggested a communist government in one nation would quickly lead to a communist takeover of neighboring countries, each falling like a row of dominos. In Southeast Asia, the United States government used this discredited domino theory to justify our involvement in Vietnam. In fact, America’s failure to prevent a communist victory in Vietnam had much less of an impact than had been assumed by proponents of the domino theory. Except for Laos and Cambodia, communism has failed to spread throughout Southeast Asia.

The Johnson Administration made a seriously wrong calculation that led to one out of every ten Americans who served in Vietnam becoming a casualty. Out of 2.7 million men and women who served in Vietnam, 58,148 were killed in action (KIA), never to return home to their loved ones, and well over 304,000 were wounded, many so severely that a life without pain, suffering, and nightmares would become a daily mental, emotional, and physical struggle. I was one of those 2.7 million American men who served in Vietnam. For years following my return home and following the daily news regarding our increasing losses with no end in sight and no reasonable justification for those losses, I began to lose trust in our federal government. Their lies, which led to the injection of our country into the concerns of a foreign country’s civil war, have led to a life of suffering from severe anxiety, panic attacks, depression, drug dependency, nightmares, flashbacks, aggression, and high suicide rates for veterans who fought in that and subsequent wars. These problems, later to be diagnosed as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), have led too many combat veterans to fail in their relationships with their spouses, families, and friends, and tragically, many to commit suicide.

I am a personal testament to the results of our country’s unjustified injection into the civil war of another country. Since my return from Vietnam, my life has been one of many difficult periods, suffering from extreme anxiety, depression, and the failure of two marriages, all as a direct result of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The shadow of combat in Vietnam is a never-ending dominant force within my mind. These forces have led me to question and challenge government authority and author articles regarding our elected officials and the Washington Swamps’ failure to follow the laws and Constitution of our country. This Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder cross that I bear has been the motivation for my activism in politics and to author political articles addressing the egregious acts being perpetrated against the American people by the politicians we have elected to represent us and our Christian values. I author these articles and now this book in the hope that I may, in some small way, contribute to informing our citizens of what is indeed occurring in the government of the United States. Information that our corrupt Marxist-Communist corporate news media outlets refuse to report and are suppressing our Constitutional right to be informed. I am a political activist attempting to help save our Constitutional Republic from the increasingly determined attacks on our Constitutional Republic by Marxist-Communist elements of our federal government and citizenry.

After eighteen years of a childhood growing up in an environment much akin to that of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, my happy life abruptly ended with my landing on the beaches of Vietnam on June 6th of 1965, at the age of nineteen. This landing occurred after two fantastic years at the Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base in California, where I had made many good friends. Before our assault onto the beaches of Vietnam, we were gathered on the decks of the ship transporting us to this war-torn world and told that we were going to Vietnam to stop the spread of communism throughout Asia and eventually from coming to America. Unlike children who are going through our current public school system, we were taught about the evil of Communism and the destructive nature of such a governing system. As one would expect of eighteen- and nineteen-year-olds who feel invincible, we were ready and willing to confront and stop this evil.

I, those who landed with me, and those who were to follow, had no idea what the cost would be for a failed ending to America’s involvement in that civil war. I spent twelve traumatic months in Vietnam serving with the 1st Battalion, 9th Marines, whose sole mission was to search for and destroy the enemy. To that end, my Battalion fought for months at a very heavy cost of Marine lives, suffering our first Killed-In-Action (KIA) the very next day following our arrival to South Vietnam.

We were able to stop the spread of communism in Europe and Asia but failed miserably in Vietnam. Communist Vietnam defeated the greatest armed force in the world. How could that possibly happen? It happened because a Marxist-Communist Democrat President refused to allow the military to manage the war and do what was necessary to win. Johnson was a Marxist-Communist Democrat President who chose to micro-manage the war personally. President Johnson’s belief in his superior knowledge of military strategy and tactics failed miserably. Perhaps he should have allowed his military Generals to manage the war and not allowed hippie protesters, Marxist-Communist news media, and his senior war advisor, news anchor Walter Cronkite, to dictate his strategic decisions. Then, America would have won that war in a relatively brief period, with a tenth of the casualties sustained, and maybe, just maybe, we would not be fighting communism here in America today.

The 1st Battalion, 9th Marines, with which I proudly served in Vietnam:

Endured the Longest Sustained Period of Combat and suffered the Highest Killed in Action (KIA) rate in Marine Corps history.

They were constantly engaged in battle during the entire time in Vietnam.

Sustained KIA every single week we were in Vietnam.

The Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington honors the supreme sacrifice of 618 Marines from the 1st Battalion, 9th Marines.

Ho Chi Minh, the President of the North Vietnamese Enemy Forces, labeled the First Battalion, 9th Marines, Di Bo Chet (The Walking Dead) following the death of his nephew at the hands of the 1st Battalion, 9th Marines during a combat engagement with a North Vietnam Regular Army unit of which he was a part.

Ho Chi Minh, the communist leader of North Vietnam, vowed to wipe out our Battalion in revenge for his nephew’s death, and until then, we were Walking Dead. Although he failed to destroy our battalion, his directing his forces to accomplish this threat caused an extremely high number of casualties for the battalion. Ho Chi Minh’s forces’ attempt to carry out his threat failed to succeed, and it came at an exceedingly high cost for Ho Chi Minh’s forces.

The 1st Battalion, 9th Marines, was awarded the United States Presidential Unit Citation, the Navy-Marine Corps Unit Commendation, and two Navy-Marine Corps Meritorious Unit Commendations and began to be referred to as The Walking Dead. Unlike far too many, I survived those twelve months in Vietnam, but to this day, I endure flashbacks that bring back the indescribable fear I felt while there.

After serving in Vietnam at our country’s call, you would think that returning home would have drawn some joyful attention from someone. For Vietnam veterans, this was not the case. Unlike those who served in World War II, Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Korean War, Vietnam veterans came home with no fanfare and no public reception to honor our service or welcome us home. No news media, no crowds of people, no nothing. We just offloaded from the ship and got on trucks that took us to the Marine Corps base in San Diego for processing and orders for our next assignment. Life just went on as if we had merely been on another training exercise and not returning from a deadly war in Vietnam. What we did have were hippy protesters calling us baby killers and murderers who seemed to take pleasure in getting in the faces of Vietnam veterans’ and spouting profanity. This made the proudly wearing of military uniforms off base miserable, so no more uniforms off base.

Following my three and a half years with the Marine Corps, I continued serving the citizens of America, both as an employee and as a volunteer in different facets of government. I served three years with the United States Postal Service, thirty-two years with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), three years with an Army Reserve MASH Unit, and two two-year terms as a Township Council member. My time with the Army Reserves and as a Council member was concurrent with my career with the Department of Veterans Affairs. These years were followed by eleven years as a volunteer firefighter and Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), six election cycles as a poll worker and one election as a poll observer, a District Captain and Content Writer for the Convention of States Action movement, and as an active volunteer for my County Republican Party.

During my thirty-two years with Veterans Affairs, I worked at seven different Veterans Administration Medical Centers (VAMC) nationwide as a Healthcare Administrator. This position required me to interact with various veteran organizations and state and federal elected officials who represented the Medical Center’s jurisdiction. At forty-two, I transferred to the Veterans Affairs (VA) Headquarters in Washington, D.C., first serving as the Chief of Operations, then after a reorganization, as Chief of Policies and Operations. During the last two years of my career, I served as VA Acting Director of the Headquarters’ Health Administration Service. During those eleven years at the VA Headquarters, I worked closely with Congress and White House staff members regarding veterans’ healthcare matters and issues.

I met with elected members of Congress to outline which issues, in my opinion, were ambiguous and required legislation to clarify or what new legislation was needed to help keep our promises to our veterans, especially our severely disabled combat veterans and former Prisoners of War (POW). In the case of clearly needed legislation to better serve our veterans, congressional members would campaign on the promise to propose and push through Congress those required laws to fulfill those needs. However, once elected,
