What’s Next?

Writers block isn’t the friend of any writer. I’m no different than anyone else. When I find myself unable to focus, I take a break. Sometimes I paint. I often find myself painting scenes from Alaska. Such as this one. I call it driftwood (I wonder why). 

Well, my break is over and it’s time to get back to work on the next book. The tentative title is “Murder in My Hometown” and it takes place on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, the area where I grew up. This work, like the others is a novel. A book of fiction, with no similarities between the characters and anyone I may have known back in the day.

I tell you this, to prompt your curiosity. I suppose if you have no desire to know about the state of Alaska, you might not be interested. However, if you love the State as I do, you may want to know a little about the area.

Alaska is as beautiful as it is isolated. While the flight into the state may not take more than hours it can turn into a full day, depending on your flight and the weather.

Writing about Alaska has caused me to be a little homesick. I haven’t lived in the state since 1992 and I’ve only been back to visit a few times since. But that doesn’t matter. You can remove the person from Alaska, but you can’t remove Alaska from the heart.

It’s true, everything is bigger in Alaska. The mountains, the oceans, and the fish. The summer days are long, and the winters are as long and dark. It takes a special person to be moved by such majesty. I’m one of them.

So, “Murder in My Hometown” is born. Another project, another book another story to tell. Another query to write. Thankfully, that is on the back burner for now.

I hope you’re all having a wonderful week, and you’re realizing your dreams.

The Rescues Continue

Many people have been unintentionally blind to what has been happening under our feet for centuries. But in recent years we are beginning to see a light shine through the darkness that has been the prison of many.

I have been posting blogs about human trafficking recently. I’m doing this, not because I enjoy talking about the terror many thousands, no, hundreds of thousands of children have suffered and continue to suffer. I’m doing it hoping to make more people aware of the terror these children live through each day. That is, until they don’t.

I believe at some point we as human beings will be forced to see for ourselves what has really been going on. When that happens the nation will suffer a shock. We will suffer a shock greater than any we’ve suffered as a nation.

I will continue to post when I can about rescue missions that our law enforcement agencies and military are performing everyday.

Many of you may not know, and some of you won’t want to hear when I say, that we have President Trump to thank for a great deal of the rescues we are seeing.

Please know I’m not discounting the many brave men and women who are putting their lives in danger each day to perform these missions. They are doing God’s work and will be blessed. They are working in conjunction with our President to clean up underground bases that have imprisoned not only children but adults. 

I mention President Trump because I know some people speak poorly of him. I feel that the media is failing our country because they are not recognizing the many great things he has done for this country.  For the purpose of this post, I’m focusing on human trafficking.

This post is not meant to be political. If you see it that way then stop reading now. I only want to share what I’m finding so we can grow together as a nation and support those who work so diligently and sacrifice so much to save lives. Many children are being rescued and will need care. Our Service people will need care too. They are suffering a shock beyond anything we can imagine.

Please continue to check back to read more about the miracles that are happening amidst the terror and evil that have plagued human nature, unknowingly to us.

There is no greater gift than human life. It doesn’t matter how you identify politically, racially, religiously, or otherwise. We all share the air we breathe. We should work together to make the world a better place.

We The People

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the united states of America.” ~ Preamble to the Constitution of the united states of America

And so the Constitution is introduced. The words become those that are the fabric of our Nation. They weave together all that is required to live together as we form a more perfect Union. The Republic. A place where we can live together, not in perfection but perfectly, imperfect, accepting each other’s imperfections while working together to strive for a better life.

Our forefathers knew this as they compiled the words that would save this great Nation. That has never been more clear than it is today. George Washington knew what he was doing when he oversaw the task that would protect us from our enemy.

It’s too bad that it took the degree of turmoil we are experiencing today, to bring to light the scam that is about to change who we are not only as a country, but as human beings. In my last post we discussed the history of the scam known as THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (the corporation). If you’re coming late to the table, please go back and read the post from April 18, 2020 to learn about the secret corporation that is trying to destroy our sovereign Nation.

In this post I ask that each of us remember our forefathers and the blood they shed so we could live as free people. It’s sad to think that our ancestors only lived in that free state for 95 years before our Country was hijacked. Does that surprise you?

Well we must learn a lesson and remember those who deceived us and manipulated their way into making us believe we are still a free Nation. We must stand together and use what remains of our Constitutional rights and make our representatives listen to us. After all they are our servants, not the other way around.

It’s time we stood up and reminded those we elect that they represent us, not the special interests. Remember what Edward Bulwer-Lytton said in 1839. The pen is mightier than the sword. Write to your Congressmen and Congresswomen and remind them that we the people represent the majority, and we can remove them from office.

The UNITED STATES versus the united states of America

Do you understand what this means? You will when we’re finished walking through the web of lies that became The UNITED STATES. I will first begin with a business lesson. When articles of incorporation are written the name of the corporation is written in all capital letters. That is your first clue to the rabbit hole that we will will be exploring. Next, you might remember from your junior high history lessons that the the District of Columbia is not part of the united states of America. it was set up in 1790 and fully chartered by 1801. The Act of 1871 created a foreign nation within the District of Columbia. It is it’s own separate territory. Similar to the Vatican. The country of Italy gave the Vatican it’s own land within their borders so the Catholic Church could operate within the country of Italy outside the laws of the country. And another thing, the Vatican has it’s own banking system and military. Have you ever heard of the City of London? Same thing. It is a foreign country within the boarders of England. Again it operates outside the laws of Great Britain. And is controlled by the Bank of England which is  owned by the Rothschild family.  Keep reading. Did you know that in 1870 the international banking community (Bank of London; Rothschild family) sabotaged our country with their sneaky business deal that was supposed to finance our country, get us back on our feet after we spent ourselves into poverty which was the result of war. The Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Civil War, to name a few. Did you know the Civil War was financed on both sides by these central banks? Think about that as we continue. The Forty-First Congress is where the majority of the fraud started. It has been suggested that the deceit began as far back as 1856 (remember what I said about the Civil War). But I will use the Forty-Forth Congress as the launching date for our demise. That is the year our Representatives weaved the web that formed illegal corporations in a foreign State (the District of Columbia), that allowed for fictious power over the people. Now listen to this statement. There has been a Breach of Trust which renders any action taken since the inception of said Corporation as null and void, fraud, and is in violation of the Constitution of the united states of America. In plain language, the people never gave the fraudulent corporations the power to create such corporations. There’s more, but it will have to wait. You may have heard of the Act of 1871, which wasn’t actually an “Act”. It was a series of “Acts that together in 1871 set in motion a series of illegal events that brings us to the financial state we find ourselves in as a country.  Notice I said ILLEGAL. Lets revisit the international bankers who so kindly “bailed us out.” At least that’s what they wanted us to believe. To make a long story short, they created a corporation which they called THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (notice all capital letters).  Within that corporation there are many sub-corporations which I won’t go into here. This process took some time which is why there were many “Acts” in 1871. The Act of 1871 was repealed in 1874, but was replaced by others until the Federal Reserve was create. When a bank lends money, there is always a catch. They want to secure that loan with some form of collateral. We are that collateral. Do you have a birth certificate? No. If you want your birth certificate, you request a certified copy from vital statistics within your state. You don’t hold your birth certificate. The Central Bank does. That’s another story for another time. Now we go deeper. Through out the remainder of the 1800s and the early 1900s, the banks manipulated the people through the Great Depression(s) and World War I until the Federal Reserve was born. So we’re clear, the Federal Reserve is not part of the government of the united states of America. And our sovereign nation is no longer in operation. The illegal corporation has been running the country. Are you surprised? I’d like to clarify something else. the united states of America elected eighteen presidents. All remaining presidents were voted in under the corporation of THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. We the people haven’t elected a president in over a hundred years. Also, the last amendment to the Constitution of the united states of America was the 13th amendment, that which abolished slavery. Let me remind you that the 16th amendment permits Congress to levy income tax. I’d say since the amendment is written under the Constitution of the corporation, and the corporation is illegal, then the income tax is illegal. Thoughts? We have been living under a corrupt constitution. We have allowed an illegal corporation to rule over us when government in the united states of America was never meant to rule over the people. Well, things are about to change. But only if we the people stand up. In a nutshell, the corporation of THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (and it’s sub-corporations) can only operate if we allow it. Have you heard of Civil Roman Law. Let me explain. It allows deceit and doesn’t punish the deceivers as long as the victim remains deceived. When the fraud is discovered and the victim objects to it.. well lets say then the shoe is on the other foot. Now that we know their secret fraud we can invoke their own law against them. We can do that by speaking up. There is so much more that needs to be discussed to be able to answer questions that should come up. Like the voting process.  If we were living as a sovereign nation we wouldn’t vote. Voting is for corporations. We would “elect” those to represent us. That is another conversation. One that should be discussed considering the fraudulent voting practices we are experiencing today. I’d like to continue this conversation. If anyone would like to know more, please politely comment and we can start a dialogue that will hopefully teach us all  something we didn’t know (me included).

Who Will Be My Voice?

She sat in the corner, quiet as a mouse. I watched her from the door as she looked out into the room. Her eyes darted back and forth to maintain control of her situation. I hated to tell her that though she watched and waited, being backed into a corner she could never defend herself.
I couldn’t help but feel her fear. Those small eyes pierced my soul. My heart broke for her. She sat backed into that corner, her hair tussled and her clothes wrinkled and dirty. I wonder how long she had been wearing them. I noticed the bruise on her right eye. I did not doubt about from where it came. The bruise made me wonder what other wounds she had suffered during her young life.
I stepped into the room and slowly approached her. The closer I got the more I could see her at her young age of four. She stiffened as I approached her. I slowed my pace even more but continued to move forward never taking my eyes off her small body. I stopped in front of her and kneeled on the floor. I didn’t want it to appear that I was overpowering her. I wanted her to see me as a friend, not another threat.
This story is fictitious. However, there are hundreds, no thousands out there like this child that is real. These children are the victims of adults, even parents that have lost sight of the fragile state of these children. The only hope for them besides the resilience that hides behind the fear is the CASA that will be their voice.
I am sure you have heard the statement “we are in an opioid crisis.” This crisis is affecting the children of the addicts at an ever-increasing rate. These children are going through the court system, some without an adult to support them and be their voice.  CASA of New Hampshire is looking for good people to be advocates for these children. Every day people are stepping up to this challenge. However, it isn’t enough. CASA needs more good people to be the voice of the children in need. If you would consider stepping up to this challenge, you will find a reward beyond words. The smile of a child who knows they are safe and loved is priceless.
If you are interested in becoming a CASA or would just like more information, please contact CASA of New Hampshire at (603)626-4600 or email speakup@casanh.org.

Wake Up: Human Trafficking is Real

I’d like to say I’m taking on a cause. But the cause is so great that I can only hope to make a small dent in what, over the last few years has come to light. Human trafficking.

I’m only one voice, and my voice isn’t an important one. At least as far as compares to those who many think are important because of their social status. I don’t believe social status matters. We can be deceived by smoking mirrors. Look deep into what on the surface may appear to be goodness.

Photo by Muhammadtaha Ibrahim Ma'aji on UnsplashWe have all taught our children not to talk to strangers. Don’t take candy from strangers and never get in the car of someone who offers you something or says they are bringing you to your mom. I think we can agree we have each used the lines I mentioned. 

But think of those children whose parents are absent in some reason from the life of their son or daughter. Those children are usually living in despair. They don’t have anything to look forward to, so any offer may sound better than what they are experiencing in their life. They jump at the chance for a better life. And to their demise. They disappear never to be seen again.

Today we know where those children have gone. We know that children are the prey of a dark plan that uses our greatest resource to feed their excesses.

In my blog on March 8, 2020 I mentioned the good work being done by the Underground Railroad. They set out to rescue children from their captors. The task turned out to be greater than anyone imagined. The evil greater that most thought humanly possible.

Nothing is as it seems. It is in the darkness that the crime is committed. The torture begins and end for a small child in a death that we can’t imagine. I can’t tell anyone what to think or do. I will ask you to visit The Underground Railroad and help in what ever way possible. If we don’t save the children we will be condemning the world to darkness.

A Precious Tribute

I wrote this short piece a couple of years ago when someone special to me was suffering from a life-threatening injury. Thankfully, today that person is living a healthy life. I thought I would share it with you today. Try not to take life for granted. It can be taken from us quickly and without warning.

Days pass quickly; we watch and wait and wonder. We hope and plan and dream. In an instant, life can be shattered. All the wondering and dreaming comes to a screeching halt in an instant. Watch out for the interruptions.

I sit here silently listening to the voices in my head. What if? Why now? When will it stop or start? I think of all the things I still want to accomplish in my life. It seems a long one, yet now it’s as if I’m running out of time and will never complete…well, anything. Can life be this fleeting?

I say these things because I’m reminded today how precious life can be. I say these things as I remind myself that we should not take each other for granted. For tomorrow can bring a cold reality. I’m thankful that this will not be the case today or hopefully tomorrow, at least under these circumstances.

We don’t know what tomorrow will bring. I will pray that tomorrow will be a better day, and the light will shine brightly on the “subject” of my short dissertation.

We have many loves in our lives; we have our parents, our siblings, our children, our spouses, and our friends and extended family. Each love holds a special place in our hearts. Today I remember each love and am reminded of the special place they hold in my heart. But today, I’m intensely reminded that one of these loves suffers in great pain, and my heart breaks for her. I pray tonight for the miracle of healing and the grace of God to make it happen. Rest in peace tonight, my love, and regenerate. Return to us the compassionate, loving, intense soul that keeps us all waiting for the next “moment” I LOVE YOU!

Operation Paperclip – A Reference Point

I think I mentioned in a prior post, when I wrote “The War Within”, it was supposed to be  a romance novel. Well, that didn’t happen. Obviously.

Research began with that which I needed to feel comfortable writing about the military service of my main character’s husband. I started with the internet. One thing led to another, and soon I had opened a can of worms.

Then down the rabbit hole I went. I’m still there. My head is still spinning from the information I found. Some people call me a conspiracy theorist because I continue to discuss the  manipulation and criminal activity of not only the American government, but governments and NGO’s across the world too.

One of the resources I used when writing “The War Within” was “Operation Paperclip” written by Annie Jacobsen.

“Operation Paperclip” was one of the many covert operations hidden within the Intelligence community and the military complex. It was what began the mind control programs on American soil. In addition to many other experiments on human subjects.

Annie Jacobsen goes into great detail about what the CIA tried to brush off as a “conspiracy theory”. She showed how the American government brought to the States all the German scientist after World War II, who should have been tried under the Nuremberg Trials or were tried and released. Originally, the operation was called Operation Overcast but it became more commonly known as Operation Paperclip.

The scientists were brought to the USA for many reasons. Some specialized in aerodynamics and rocketry. Others worked specifically with weapons and chemical reactions technology and medicine. All these scientists were secretly brought to the States, along with their families. This without State Department review or approval. Approval would never have been granted because of the association of these scientists  to Hitler’s Third Reich, many who were considered war criminals.

Almost 500 scientists were deployed to White Sands Proving Ground, Fort Bliss in New Mexico. Others were sent to Texas and Huntsville, Alabama to work with the guided missiles program which later became NASA.

Annie Jacobsen, through many hours of interviews, and after reviewing the archives, and reviewing files made available through the Freedom of Information Act, along with other archived government documents, has compiled a work that is eye opening and informative.

Anyone who wishes to know more about the crimes committed by governments and other institutes within the States, should read “Operation Paperclip”. It was quite helpful to me while I wrote “The War Within”.

Another Voice Another Vote

The citizens of the United States of America are empowered with rights that could move mountains. Such rights should cause us to race to the polls and vote. Unfortunately, not everyone takes this right seriously.

In recent years we have seen a vast change in how we view politics. This blog is not going to be infused with politics in any form. I can’t mention voting without mentioning the elephant in the room. It is the reason we vote. I believe it is also the reason we are see an increased interest in voting and the voting process.

There is a long history of suffrage in this country. One equal to that of the vote. The topic has shaken up the masses at different times in history.

The first vote took place within hours of the landing of the Jamestown voyagers on April 26, 1607, according to their calendar. It was the first attempt at voting on American soil. It was also the beginning of corruption. The commanders of 105 colonialists of Williamsburg unsealed a box containing a list of seven men picked in England who would be the colony’s council. They would select one of the seven as president.

We all remember Captain John Smith. They denied him a seat initially on suspicion of concealing a mutiny. Because they eliminated John Smith from the vote, that left six men, less than six percent of the population, to take part in the choice for president. Six men were the voice for the 105 colonists. Ninety-nine voices remained silent, choked out by the king’s rule.

This country has come a long way from colonial Williamsburg. We have suffered many growing pains. In the early years, they allowed only wealthy white men to vote. Male landowners controlled the interest of the population. Eventually, that changed, and it allowed all white males to vote.

In 1870 they granted the African American male population the right to vote through the fifteenth amendment. Many things didn’t change for this demographic, but it was the beginning of change. It would be almost a hundred years before the civil rights movement would cause a greater change.

We went through the woman’s suffrage movement. This movement broke down the barriers that had, for centuries, snuffed out the voice of women. They finally gave women the right to vote on August 18, 1920, when Congress ratified the nineteenth amendment.

The United States is a melting pot of ethnicity. “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” (Statue of Liberty). This country welcomes the masses, through its gates (by means of citizenship). In welcoming them we give them the right to be a voice for themselves as well as for the country.

I hope each one of you finds the time today to make your voice heard.

A Very Cold Night! Especially for the Homeless

 I sit here tonight in my warm house, listening to the wind blow just outside my window. I know quite well, it’s cold out there. Just before settling in to write this blog, I looked at the thermometer, which reads a negative 4 degrees!

Now I sit here typing as I listen to the wind. I can’t help but think of the people that may be out on the street. I don’t mean people that are out for an evening of frolic and fun. I’m thinking of the homeless right now. I can’t help but worry about those that have no shelter when the weather is like this. If you think about those who are cold tonight if you put yourself in their shoes…

I pull the thin parka around me as my muscles tense up, my body’s reaction to the cold. My jaw gets tight as I try to keep my teeth from chattering while the wind whips through the street. It creeps in behind my neck, forcing its way down my back. I reach up and lift the collar of the coat, stretching it to reach my exposed ears as the cold air burns through my flesh. I’m torn between protecting my cold ears with the jacket and the desire to push my hands deep into the pockets to keep them warm. It’s no use. There is no relief. The cold is too much.

I continue walking, hoping to find shelter from the cold wind. My face is burning now from the cold air. My nose is running. I reach up to wipe away what has dripped off the tip of my nose. I have to laugh as I realize ice has collected just there. I keep going if for no other reason than to keep my blood moving. If I don’t stand still, if I keep walking, my blood will continue to work its way through my body, keeping me, well not warm, but alive. I turn as the passing car interrupts my thoughts. They don’t even notice me. They look right through me as if I’m not standing here freezing. I’m not surprised. I see that all the time.

I’ve now reached the alley I’m hoping will at least shelter me from the wind. I lean against the brick as I slide down that wall and sit, curled up, hoping I can produce enough heat to keep my blood moving. My teeth are chattering again. My joints are getting stiff. Maybe I shouldn’t sit still.

I’m really tired. I need to rest for a little while; then, I’ll get up and move around some. I sit quietly with my thin jacket wrapped tightly around me. I can hear the noise of the night floating away. I can see my breath, so I must still be alive. It’s getting colder. I’m so tired. My eyelids are getting heavy. I force them open and look around one more time.

I see no one; I only hear voices as they slowly drift off into the night.

My feet are tingling. Maybe it’s warming up. My neck hurts, I need to straighten up. Instead, I lean over and lay down, curling up tighter into a ball. I think my breathing is getting shallow. No, I’m just tired. I can’t stay awake; I don’t want to stay awake. If I sleep, I won’t feel the cold. I don’t want to be cold anymore. I’ll rest for a while. It’s okay, just for a few min….

The image above is the life of a young girl freezing in an alley. Will she wake up and walk to stay alive? Or will she freeze there curled up in a ball against that brick wall? You won’t know because this is where the vision ends.

Her story is the story of many homeless people in this country that fight to stay alive during the long winter months. Each of singularly may not be able to do away with the reality that is portrayed in this short vision. But collectively, we can make a difference.

Please take a few minutes this winter to locate a shelter in your area and donate what you can to help those in need of a warm place to stay during the frigid winter months.
