AMERICAN HOLIDAYS

Veteran’s Day, November 11, 1918

On Veteran’s Day, I Remember Bobie from Baltimore,” James Bovard, November 8, 2018, Baltimore Sun. 

PRESIDENTIAL POLITICS

1. Lee Stranahan.  Wenzel’s take on the Putin/Trump Helsinki meeting is pretty good.  

2. I don’t know who QAnon is or what he or it is about.  It sounds absolutely crazy to me, but Wenzel seems to find it either interesting enough or important enough to follow it.  Okay.  On Friday, August 17, 2018, Wenzel cites a guy by the name of Mark Burnett.  Who, pray tell, is Mark Burnett?  Okay, well, it looks like Wenzel has researched QAnon.  

The NSA’s Secret Cops, Known as “Q Group,” are Hunting Down Edward Snowden The people, tasked with hunting down Edward Snowden, work for the Associate Directorate for Security and Counterintelligence, reports The Daily Beast. The directorate is sometimes known as “the Q Group.”(June 2013 EPJ)

WESTERN VALUES
1. Are Western Values Losing Their Sway, Steven Erlanger, September 12, 2015, NYT.

No. “Western values” died a long time ago, replaced by postmodernism. I feel like an outsider in my own country. Are Western values, essentially Judeo-Christian ones, truly universal? Is that what you call sponsoring mercenary terrorists to massacre Christian villages in Syria? I wonder what his rabbi thinks about him conflating Judaism and Christianity. Better get him busy reading Mishneh Torah.

Dr. North replied, “I read the volumes on the economics of the Mishneh Torah. It’s not Christian. But I liked a lot of what Samson Hirsch wrote. He was surely Orthodox.”

JANUARY 6, 2021 PROTEST ON THE CAPITOL MALL, REFERRED TO IN THE MEDIA AS 1/6 OR J6.

You be the judge of Trump’s intentions.  I initially thought that he was egging on the protestors, but in review, I decided that he was merely being adamant in his displeasure with the corrupt congress on Capitol Hill.  Find his 70 minute speech here:

The FBI spins it into an insurrection. Calling it an insurrection means the federal government wants to criminalize dissent.
Here is a preview of the documentary, Capitol Punishment.

Here is the documentary.
Capitol Punishment, the Movie.  I’d learned about it in one Robert Barnes/Viva Frei podcasts.

Here is the interview of the actor, Nick Searcy, with Mike Huckabee.
