Letter to (Y)our President

Hello Divine readers! I know it's been a hiatus, and not for a lack of unexposed truth and enlightenment to be told. That is not the basis of this article, though, and I will not begin to explain that story now. I will eventually update my bio and if you're interested you can read there.Regarding this topic, I will prelude with where you are and from where this piece’s motivation derives. 

           Divine America has always attempted to expose the violations of humanity that are

destructive to our inherent future--that is, the generations to come. Our foundations for discussion at Divine America also recognizes in that violations occur on all sides of all peoples’ coins. As such, there's no recognition within the Divine America of law and governance, you could say, a bit anarchy. There is only respect for natural law, compassion, and blunt freedom (though, I do try to keep my terms of a PG rating, F-bombs are very prominent in the discussion of freedom). That said—Divine America does not seek to align itself with compliance to man-made laws, and further, selecting a “leader” out of a pool of secret society sinisters. There is no support to be found here for the henchman of the state who enforce the mafia-style tactics of extortionist governments. There will be no censorship to protect you from the offenses of my two cents, and my two cents shall be unmerciful. What that means is you're likely be offended at some point here, no matter what side of any coin you fall on. Freedom does not concern itself with sensitivity, just as peace does not find itself without weapons. Words are our weapons which cannot be taken effortlessly (for now).

Status tends to determine how impacting those words can be, as we've seen in so many presidencies already. That is what we are here to expose. That is why the following is dictated to (Y)our President. No part was taken, or written, to acknowledge the running candidates, or to sway readers as a means of demonstrating our favor towards one side over the other. We have identified actions of the candidates that exemplify condemnation and prohibition of freedom, a task in which more worldly leaders are interested than we care to acknowledge. However, if the rest of the country wants to participate in the illusive games put on for them by the elected leaders, then so be it...knock yourselves out. I’m just going to quietly write about it, as is my freedom to do so. Now, let's get to the meat and potatoes of a Letter to (Y)our President…

Dear Mr. Trump,

I have remained an observer throughout the progression of your role as president. From candidate to elect, you certainly reached the hearts and minds of many. Some would even go so far as to credit you the answer to their prayers and a messiah of sorts. Considering how many said the same of Mr. Obama, I’m sure that does not impress you to know. After all, who was really impressed with any of Obama’s accomplishments? Those who were are questionably still free to expand their misguided views of what is good and right for America. Like the remaining chip that brought the Terminator back, Obamanites are with us now and forever, threatening to reign down a plague of new age communism shrouded in rainbows and leather and screaming about equality for the emerging 23 sexes they’re questioning themselves to be.

Mr. Trump, your own zombies are no better, and (although criticism is steadily amassing against) you are of the status influential enough to have steered that herd in a direction that has not made America great... at all (not that it ever was, despite what the slogan implies). America has never been great for everyone. She could be. There are certainly examples throughout the few hundred years of her existence in which multitudes of the cultures that make up our country have found common ground in our coexistence and made life rewarding to explore. To say, though, that we have ever been great enough to take our nation back to a time in which you feel it was would be immensely limiting to our potential as a growing leader among nations. Unfortunately to the globe, we stand poised like a pit bull ready for a fight. While I dislike using such a reference as I have an affection for the poorly reputed pups, it's fitting, because much like the behaviors of an angry pit bull, it's directly influenced by poor upbringing. Poor 'Merica here was raised on blood shed, tears, and deceit. 

But America is still young when compared to other countries across the globe, and currently we are the spitting image of the spoiled only-child of rich folks. It’s not just the snowflakes crying over every little thing that offends them, or the self-absorbed capitalists and republicans (who are so far out of touch with the citizens it's amazing they took office). It’s the lack of compassion our country has been able to discover since inception that prohibits us from becoming the truly great America we were meant to be. Like a plague, this cruel nature has been adopted by the majority of Americans. To have compassion does not mean to let the world walk all over us. It means to have the world respect our nation and take example from us to make their own country better. It is unfathomable to comprehend how we are so many “leaders” into the growth of America, and we have yet to realize the secret sauce to inspiring our nation and the world.

You are clearly a person of great influence--that is obvious. I would dare you to acknowledge, though, that your current influence will not contribute to Greater America. There have been great strides in developing Global Peace--let's not discredit that; but it pleads to know how vested you truly are in peace, when the attitude towards our nearest neighbors is “stay out or else!” The backlash of certain images has thankfully put a halt on separating families, which is what inspired this letter. Unfortunately, the damages are done to those who have already endured so much. Actions such as these beg to question if we all truly understand the founding of this nation, and if so, why we have not progressed from our poor tactics in immigration matters.

I would jest that the Great Wall of China was not exactly built under optimal conditions or funding, and they got it done; but quite frankly, isn’t it about time that we stop acting like this earth is ours to encapsulate in imaginary borders and lines of ownership. What’s more perplexing is why we have not one-upped the Great Wall with a Great Opportunity. Supposing it’s because we have fixated on keeping our southern friends out, we will never come to resolve that pesky border situation, because clearly, they want in.

            In acknowledging that our existence on this floating (very round) rock is one shared together, despite what we think are our differences; we might begin to see a vision similar in nobility to that of Martin Luther King’s (except in which people are not barred by territorial walls--physical or imagined). The Earth was not made so vast in order to prohibit her creatures from exploring it, but to encourage the migration of inhabitants to gain experiences. Sorrowfully, the travels of some are inspired by negative circumstances; something in which most Americans do not have a fresh take. Divine America is not oblivious to this fact.

            Instead of becoming a true answer to the prayers of people, and a nation to be respected, we find further ways to indignify them and embarrass ourselves. Of course, it makes sense to know and identify the people coming into the country (and more specifically, what they may be carrying into the country with them) as a means of “keeping our country safe” (this is what compromise looks like). What does not seem so compromising is the lack of finally establishing a permanent solution to the flux of incoming people at our southern border. Supposing on this side of the border, we’ve forgotten that we are dealing with people. It has been a time since any native-born Americans have had to endure the kind of hardships that would force them to flee their country. Sure, the Trump-testers with their public squalling would have outsiders believe otherwise, but the reality is that most Americans have it cushy enough not to want to leave the country (even over an undesirable in the white house, but I think it's safe to say we have all experienced that).

            In the effort of world peace, one would think “leaders” by now would recognize the importance of not closing doors per se. In fact, why have we not tried building doors?

There’s a claim that many Americans are in need of work. Great! Sounds like there’s an opportunity for building housing facilities along the borders for accommodating large numbers of displaced people. Sounds like there is an opportunity for processors, data entry specialists, analysts, and educators to begin processing the people coming in. Whether it takes a year, or ten, these facilities should be a self-maintained community, equipped to assist these families in finding their place appropriately within our country, as well as to funnel out the threats.

Naturally, extending opportunities to those with a mutual interest in progressively changing their lives and the lives of their children, will result in a eagerness to cooperate with our processes and even adopt some of our American traditions. More so, our borders become more protected, and resourceful to our entire country as the inhabitants can secure and farm the land, contributing in many ways to our economic growth, and international relations.

Such work-entry compromises would satisfy all parties, yet America acts like this is alien education. Unlike the snowflakes who arrive to the table with all-whining complaints and no real solutions, Divine America does not pretend the world is all puppies and kittens, and we come with real solutions. Such a feat is not as simple as waving a magic wand, except for you with a magic pen. Clearly, you are a smart man, but I fear not at all in touch with compassion for people. You have the ability to make peace through force, but you have yet to realize the solutions to the issues at the border. Perhaps it’s because like most, you are not seeing the real issue. This world is so small. As such, one would imagine the common goal of any leader upon her to be that of good-for-all. We are all susceptible to the same tragedies. Eventually, there will be one that comes to remind us the Earth was never ours to claim or conquer, and that we are merely a guest upon her. Just as any other inhabitant before us, we can fall at her whim. 

                                    Sincerely,                                           

Divine America                                  

“I Am”: The Cost of Liberty, the Exchange: Security?

 America has long been known as the “land of the free.” The cost of that freedom is often held in regard only by those who’ve made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure that freedom. Veiled in anonymity under a shadow of collectivized terms as: the military or soldiers, we forget the individuals behind that veil. We neglect the individual sacrifices they have made—whether it be their lives, time,  or money.

Sadly, this collectivism does not exist amongst civilians. Individuality plagues citizens so rampantly in our American culture that, by it, we’ve allowed liberty to come under fire through a failure to recognize it was ever being stolen. In fact, the collective citizens have become sheep herded by the law of man, rather than participants in the law of nature.

Bill after bill, we have complied with the passing of laws that gave man dominion over another man—and we did it under the guise of security and accountability. Once upon a time, people within a community worked to support each other. They exchanged goods and services, and communicated regularly. When war came upon a people, everyone who was able participated in the fight.  As we became less focused on the well-being of the whole, and more focused on the individual (fueled by greed and selfishness) needs, we began pulling away from this system. Largely on account of reducing our own personal responsibilities, people opted to pay taxes to support those who would fight in their stead.

While this ideology is archaic to say the least, the mentality has evolved and is the root of much destruction and chaos in our country (well, honestly the world, but let’s stayfocused on America).  As we’ve “progressed” our nation, and taken every action imaginable to deflect personal responsibility; individuality and the means to neglect ones environment have arisen and acted as direct contributions towards disunity, crime, and corruption.  As we’ve seen in past stories covered by Divine America, the collective people have sacrificed liberty in the pursuit of this hand-fed security. In our desire to retain as little responsibility as possible for our communities, it’s no wonder there is a presumption of a rising “police state.” Our failure in conducting the very checks and balances to prevent such a state is the reaping of the seeds we’ve sown.  You got what you paid for. Now, on account of  a couple of bad seeds and  an immensely, negatively-fueled media, there’s another line in the sand created by the elite, and crossed by the citizens; and it’s used to increase disharmony and paint a clear target on the backs of the very people we’ve paid to “protect” us. Did we forget that a uniform does not a hero make?

Having the displeasure of witnessing this shredding of the American culture and society, we can see the crippling of the hearts of the patriots, and a sense of immobility, despair, and defeat. And with the surmounting lines being drawn, a mentality is developed, and wars inspired. As a result, more people will be harmed by the fight or flight response that officers are forced to embrace when they encounter citizens. The people will then cry for more legislation and punishment towards officers. Every discharge of a weapon in response to criminal activity will come under question, and we will eventually not even have those few who will stand in our defense locally, because we’ve pitted the duty of the job against them, and sided with justice for the obvious criminal.

Regardless, the cry for further laws to keep us “safe” has been by far the most asinine measure we’ve taken in search of our individual happiness; and has ultimately been the largest cost the citizens have paid towards securing our own well-being. Of course, when blinded by the new concept of what well-being truly is--a state of finances--it should come as no surprise that we sit in the cesspool of corruption and greed.

As we reflect over the year we’ve had at Divine America, we are forced to recall these corruptions in action. Taken aback to our dear friend “Martin,” we see one man’s individual fight for a liberty that has been perverted by those who would use it to control and extort people. In his plea to the courts to be free of a mandated identity procured by a piece of paper and upheld by a plastic card, our dear friend sought to remind the people of the Lord’s words and warning. Not a far stretch from original pagan-man’s understanding of the power behind knowing another man’s name, “Martin” restates, “I AM THAT I AM,” a man with the right to travel freely with his property and without the threat of extortion from the henchmen of the state who blindly follow orders.

However, We The People saw fit to discard that liberty. In fact, we demanded identity be more than a term one is provided as a reference. And why? Accountability. There’s proof behind a document after all, and having that proof enables us to sue the pants off each other to achieve our financial well-being. Unfortunately, to get these papers one must commit to redefining their liberties by subjecting themselves to the laws of man—a series of rules and compliances one must live by in exchange for protection from the thugs of the state in addition to the thugs of the citizenry. Under these rules, personal responsibility is not required; and accountability becomes an effortless pursuit of fraudulence that allows for unconstitutional subjections to unwanted extortions.

How’s the exchange working out for you now? You know, now that you pay egads of dollars into auto insurance, medical insurance, home owners insurance, and so on.

Our dear friend is not alone in his fight for the restoration of liberty and it has not been without its setbacks, as even those among the “awakened” demand compliance with certain laws of man for that wonderful accountability. On account of those individuals and to update you on our dear friend’s situation; the Man alleged to be “Martin P-E-T-R-O-S-K-Y” (for the umpteenth time)—despite numerous attempts to pay restitution to the person known as “STATE”—has been found guilty of criminal activity, simply for driving without a tag. When considering the corrupt state of affairs being carried out by the Dekalb County Court , the lack of knowledge regarding their job description, the strategy utilized in trampling the first amendment, and—as Divine America hascome to learn in the latest interview with “Martin”—the apparent power of Judge Wong to act and speak for the defendant; it leaves little to the imagination as to how our dear friend will be sentenced. With initial settlements proffering time in jail (up to three years), probation, and fines surmounting thousands of dollars, it begs to question not only if people truly believe the lack of a piece of paper warrants such response, but if our dear friend’s family deserves to suffer as much as the court would like them to. “Martin” being the sole provider for his family would certainly witness the destruction of his family’s well-being.

Regardless of how you personally feel about compliance to the state mandates, many might at least agree that no one deserves to be violently ripped from their vehicle through a window and taken prisoner when no harm has been executed against another living being. But, despite having the acceptable forms of all those protections and accountabilities, a passive decision to stand against such extortions (just by not handing it over) ultimately contributed to our dear friend’s brutal attack, kidnapping, and imprisonment at the hands of thugs.  While some may consider his actions intolerable, our dear friend did this and stands by his consequences not for himself, but for the good of the people who would otherwise submit to these indignities. In hopes of enlightening people to the liberties we’ve allowed to slip away, “Martin” subjected himself to the dangers of disregarding the state’s rules of paperwork.

Now, as we throw around such terms of endearment as “crazy,” “anarchist,” and

“right-wing nut,” towards our dear friend, we ought to take a moment to recognize that it takes all kinds of kinds. People like our dear, crazy friend fighting for lost liberties of all natures, exist in many different arenas. Some people hold signs of protest on the streets, over bridges, and at local capitol buildings. Others like to voice themselves on social media. And then there’s some who give a shout out over a megaphone on White House gate at one in the morning.

While many have funny ways of drawing their lines in the sand of laws they willingly obey and those they won’t, we come across those who have stepped forth to bring about the awakening of the masses. Patriots such as former Oathkeeper member, Bill Looman—who has dedicated himself to the fight for liberty not only in his service as Marine, but as a loyal servant and spokesman of our Nation’s citizens—is one that has been met with ridicule and endured personal sacrifice on scales unimaginable to the average Joe.

Far from his first or last rodeo to spark awareness, Bill Looman has marched to the frontlines of our battlefield—the Nation’s capital—along with other such as Manny Vega and Blaine Cooper, to announce on their megaphone that We The People have had enough. It is apparent these efforts have fallen on deaf ears, but who even among the so-called three percent patriots has truly committed themselves in such ways? Who among us has already demonstrated the tuck-tail and turn-back strategy that elected leaders have come to expect and to which has contributed to the ridicule of which the patriot movement?

Effectively, the backlash by which the patriot movement has been reduced begs to have questions answered that not many are ready or willing to ask themselves. How much longer are you willing to stand by watching the nation destroyed by the elite who would define for us what actions are legal and illegal? Will you wait for it to come to your front door? Will you “bug out” to the woods and practice all that awesome primitive survival stuff you’ve working on?

It’s time for truth. What wars may come, will come. Most likely, not in our time—especially if we continue to sit and wait. Our children, though, and their children can count on the fight being entirely removed from their ideologies. They will be the bearers of the burdens to which we neglected to respond appropriately. So as you sit there, waiting for the so-called “shit to hit the fan” on your doorstep or in your backyard; know this:  that’s not going to happen.

However, as you continue to embrace and push for further legislation to keep you safe, realize you are only dooming the future of this country. You are just as guilty as those who would write such laws that will eventually see this nation crumble. Our failure now will be the consequence for which our children will suffer. And when the time comes and you are put before your creator, consider what your judgment will be for failing to do your part in preserving liberty. There is no cost greater than life, and it’s one only a few are willing to pay. Would you? We all have to die some time. 

When Using Your Power for Good, Part II: Cue Thugs

 It goes without saying; the U.S. government is nothing short of muscle. With ABC agencies such as the FBI, NSA, DOJ, ATF, and IRS just to name a few, the government has a strong arm to manage compliance with all the wonderful legislation they write. Of course, each agency is stamped with the ideals of being for the good of the people, and adding security in an otherwise insecure world. For example, the function of the SEC (Securities and Exchange Committee), is to protect investors by maintaining the integrity of the stock market. Such a feat is accomplished by investigating and charging those who would jeopardize the system which is based on a sort of honor code.

At least, these are the claims sold to the American people.

See, the stock market relies on people buying and selling stock based on the same advantages and disadvantages. When people have advantages (such as insider information) they have a tendency to play the market to their benefit, which holds the high probability of hurting someone else. Since there are more ways than one to commit fraud while treating stocks, the SEC was implemented to add security.

Well, that sounds good, doesn’t it? That is, if such authority is not abused. What happens when a corrupt administration uses it strongarms to target people, organizations, and even industries? The entire nation has heard as such events (among the many other scandals of the Obama administration) involving ABC agencies, but no one really takes the time to look into the cases. A big part of that can be attributed to a misplaced sense of justice. Most people think the rich are rich because of their well-played hand in something deceitful. While certain actions on Wall Street have certainly echoed a disdainful taste for the hoi polloi, there are indeed humanitarians among the elite.

 

You may recall a brief regarding Donald Gillispie, who sought ways to help people by proposing masterful designs of desalinization and nuclear power plants in places like China and Idaho. While many have their opinions regarding nuclear energy, I’m not here to sway your beliefs. However, I can recommend some reading material that may educate you in the truth about nuclear energy. Rather, Mr. Gillespie’s situation reminds us just how powerful and out of control these arms of our government have become. It also serves to remind us of that no amount of good intention goes without punishment from those with a catastrophic agenda. What else would you call the amount of destruction wreaked upon citizens, companies, and industries by just one arm of the government’s enforcers?

Consider the fact that under Obama’s administration the number of corporate fraud investigations conducted by the SEC more than doubled in Obama’s first term. Taking a look at the army amassed for purposes similar to this, the clueless majority of us don’t even think twice, because it is only happening to the rich, right?

Wrong! In fact, with its units ranging in control of everything from banking, agriculture, firearms, drugs, and more; their hand of influence falls on every citizen of the United States of America. That is why we see people being SWAT teamed to be evicted from their homes after banks foreclose on them. That is why we see mom and pop shops shut down by the IRS for failure to pay. That’s why we see babies blown up by an alleged war on drugs, and on more occasions homes being mistakenly entered and people dying because of it. That is why we see pastors arrested and jailed for feeding hungering homeless. And it’s what leaves a handful of us looking for the checks and balances.

Unfortunately, since such information is maintained and “checked” it’s done so by the very people paid to protect the integrity of their agency. As a result, when simple public records requests are made the ABC agency gets to pull any number of rabbits out of its hat of excuses as to why they will not be providing the information requested. Perhaps during another check and balance audit those documents will simply disappear.

Either way, we are forced to make our own inferences based on the massive amount of complaints made against the SEC and the accounts of those who step forward in support of Mr. Gillispie. People like Thomas Doss have made it their personal mission to bring awareness to this case. And yet others, like Corey St. Claire, who had the privilege of being a trainer and close confidant to Mr. Gillispie, who are eager to tell everything they know about the man they describe as genuine and trustworthy, in an effort to clear his good name of the shadow of doubt cast upon it by the SEC.

Multiple attempts have been made to obtain records from the SEC, the SEC lawyer, and the FBI. All have thus far been fruitless, save for some laughable email. In looking at the track record of both the SEC and the Obama Regiment-- I mean, administration… I guess I have to base a judgment on the honor system. That means, interviews with inside sources which paint a clear picture of the SEC’s intentions hold more water than a lack of supporting evidence and a refusal to cooperate with media. And exactly what are the SEC’s intentions?

Don Gillispie’s case makes that pretty evident as well. With the allegations claiming Mr. Gillespie was raising funds for a sort of pump-and-dump, one would think the SEC would be giving the investors back what they paid in; at least considering the SEC was collecting that much and then some from Gillispie. In fact, after calculating “fines payable to the US treasury” plus interest, Mr. Gillispie is set to lose his company, his credibility, and over $10 million in fines. Suffice it to say the outlook for his future has been cast in the shadow of uncertainty due to an unfounded attack launched by Snake River Alliance and backed up by the SEC and the FBI. Despite lacking evidence, the judgment has been made in a civil court. Though his unwilling-to-go-down-without-a-fight nature compels Mr. Gillispie to keep fighting, the power of this wallet it has been crippled by the blows of the SEC. Against the unlimited resources of the SEC, even a victory only hurts the taxpayer. Rather, Gillispie has been advised to stand down against the army Obama has amassed—not only against citizens, but upon various industries—and he tells of many lives a wasting away in federal prisons on account of false allegations made by the agencies.

His warning access to ask, what do those thugs do with all this money? Of course, we are quickly reminded of the Obama’s war on coal and his clean air campaign, which saw massive attacks launched against various energy manufacturers and coal plants; as well as the financial backing of many failed green energy companies and programs. In fact, the administration’s plans we are told will contribute to America’s next energy crisis.

In spite of all the tragedy Don Gillispie has faced in the hopes of using his power for good – or in this case, providing affordable power for all – we are promised a light, energized by Mr. Gillispie’s own revolutionary design. While the SEC vows to make the remainder of Don’s fiscal life hell, he will rest happily knowing there was nothing they could do to stop people from having a choice and affordable energy. Though, he explains it wasn’t for a lack of trying. Among the many that have come and continue to come under attack by any wing of the government, Blue Castle was just another energy manufacturer on their list. Having witnessed the countless barrages of cases filed against companies by the SEC, FBI, and IRS to name a few; investors have become keen to the tactics that not only threaten the integrity of the stock market, but the well-being of the company.

However, in an initiative to build another plant using Don’s design, Blue Castle CEO Aaron Tilton came under fire from the SEC for investments made by the LeadDog. Fortunately, and despite their best efforts, Mr. Tilton disassociated from LeadDog and clarified the misunderstanding that he had any idea where investors make their money. This did not prevent mass mediafrom painting the CEO with a negative image. In their coverage of the story, Aaron Tilton is described as a “predictably solid Republican” with anti-gay and anti-environment agendas, yet a man with which many still wish to invest. But we digress.

Don Gillispie is just one of the many victims of the administration’s army against citizens. He wasn’t the first, and by far he won’t be the last, but he will be one less that went silently. Not because he cares for himself, but because he cares for people. What no one thinks about when they’re busy writing off Don because of his upper-class status, is the fact that he is being fined in a civil court despite a lack of evidence, without a jury, and with lawyers telling him to accept. What people don’t realize is that there are repercussions when we failed to put an end to such abuse of authority before it’s too late. If we fail to stop this sort of crime here, it’s only a matter of time before it becomes a problem for the lower class (although, a recent account tells us it may already be there).

The US government is nothing short of thugs to enforce compliance with the laws they create to keep their agenda progressing. Obama’s agenda includes pumping money into a global warming campaign that has been proven a hoax. So while hopes of a brighter future are tickled by the Republican control, we’ve already heard them back down on promises that won them the elections. Unfortunately, there’s two more years of this administration with more than $17 trillion in debt, and Obama still trying to convince us all that we need to pump more money into clean air in such deals with China. With billions of dollars still being contracted out for foreign investments, two things become clear: one, money needs to come from somewhere (and publicly traded energy companies make great targets because they are often owned by conservatives and funded by investors with deep pockets); and two, if the administration intends to create an economic collapse, this is certainly the way to go about doing it. And maybe that’s more on target than you think.
