ONE—–Negotiate—sounds like a way to avoid war—never works for winning.

TWO—–“Investigate”—a way to buy time for p/r and the enemy—never works for winning.

THREE—–Delay—gives the illusion of patience and gives the enemy time to refuel—never works for winning.

FOUR—–Divert—make something else the issue, other than the enemy’s stated goal—never works for winning.

FIVE—–Downsize—reduce the military, to be less threatening to the enemy—never works for winning.

SIX—–Apologize—be sorry for strength that offends and makes a target—never works for winning.

SEVEN—–Patronize—appease, be nice, so they will be nice in return—never works for winning.

EIGHT—–Legitimize—sympathize with false reasons for their dissatisfaction—never works for winning.

NINE—–Compromise—not confrontation, make a deal to make them happy—never works for winning.

TEN—–Deny the Obvious—repeat of history does not apply, the world is better now, we don’t have enemies dedicated to killing us, we must avoid war, high-tech will save us—never works for winning.

PIONEERS AND US (10)

January 7, 2023 By Leave a Comment

Did the pioneers have something inside, that we don’t have today?

Yes, several things—one at a time here.

– – –

Pioneers had a consistent set of values and beliefs that they were bound and determined to pass on to the next generation, intact.

It was a package—with God, family, work, the 3R’s, right and wrong, Bible, morality—known and universally sanctioned in the home and in the community.

It is referred to as ‘the old school.’

Today we scarcely even know what that package is, to pass on, much less how to pass it on.

Question before us, not faced by pioneers:

What will happen when the few people who can remember the old school are gone?

Did the pioneers have something inside, that we don’t have today?

Yes, several things—one at a time here.

Pioneers accepted hard times, and welcomed hard work, as part of life.

They did not spend so much (time, effort, money) seeking or expecting life to be easier—like we do.

LESSER OF TWO EVILS – – – OR THREE ?

January 7, 2023 By Leave a Comment

In America, with our freedom to vote, we may have to choose between “the lesser of two evils” sometimes.

That phrase is often used to just complain that there is not a perfect, or ideal, candidate to vote for.

But there is a third evil in every election—usually greater that the greater of the two evils on the ballot.

The third evil, the greater evil than the other two, is not voting.

Relinquishing the right to vote gives up any legitimate right to complain, to constitutionally “redress grievances.”

WHAT DO WE KNOW NOW – – – REALLY ?

I can’t say I know it all or get excited about The Renaissance or The Enlightenment, that supposedly freed us from The (Dark) Middle Ages.

Man is always driven by the urge to do better than the past, to think we have arrived—and then, we do what we do best—we repeat history, especially the parts that produce tyranny, slavery, suffering, and massive murders.

Philosophers influence educators and aspiring political leaders, and ideologues capitalize on the perfect moment to change the world.

And, except for the unique record of The United States of America, nearly all world-changers driven by the newest ideas, create repeated disasters instead of promised utopia.

“From each according to his ability—to each according to his needs.” Never works.

+Communism worldwide—110 million murdered, particularly in Russia, China, Cambodia.

+Emperor worship in Japan—6 million killed.

+Dictatorship in North Korea—zero freedom, no light at night (satellite picture).

– – –

“Eliminate imperfect people to maintain a perfect race.” Always reveals demonic evil.

+Nazism—20 million murdered.

+Eugenics eliminate inferior or unwanted, especially unborn—60 million murdered in America so far—70 million murdered in the world every year.

It is no wonder the increased horrors of the last century, and those continuing today, and the new horrors on the horizon—it is no wonder this matches what the Bible says will happen without God in our knowledge.

Type in the search bar on the internet “in the last days” and find an abundance of passages that read like a current newspaper.

Let it sober you, to call on God, for these times.

Beware of promises that hide the cost.

Promised utopia—at the cost of freedom, always !

And the people end up with neither utopia nor freedom, always !

And millions end up without life itself, always !
