Has Justice Been Lost?


There is much banter back and forth about the protests, and I would agree that protests are justified as in the case of the death of George Floyd. The problem comes down to the muddying of words and this has been further mired by shoddy reporting or just outright propaganda by many media outlets. What many of these "journalist" refer to as a protest (outside of the traditional understanding of the word) have been more akin to rioting or insurrection. In the American political and legal vernacular, a protest is a right enshrined in the Bill of Rights attached to the Constitution of the United States of America and should be held within this framework...

   
AMENDMENT I - Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE PEACEBLY TO ASSEMBLE, AND TO PETITION THE GOVERNMENT FOR A REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES.


There is the rub, we have seen many peaceable assemblies petitioning the Government to address the issue of an extra-judicial killing of a citizen by an agent of the State. Derek Chauvin, the Minneapolis police officer in this incident, was charged with the homicide of Mr. Floyd and other former officers were charged with varying criminal offenses related to the incident. So, in the spirit of the Law and our system of governance the Government began the process of addressing the people of Minneapolis's grievance. But instead of people allowing the judicial system to work and for the people to diligently monitor the progress of the criminal procedure to ensure that no miscarriage of justice occurred something else happened, an abomination, an orgy of destruction and violence. There were many people in the establishment, both in media and politics who tried to channel this abomination into political gain. They claimed that this abomination was a form of legitimate protest, but it is not.


We saw many displays of mea culpa from persons who had no personal involvement in any form of "racism" they want to signal some sort of moral superiority over those who did not make the same displays. We saw persons of one ethnic group acting indignant when they were confronted by members of the ethnic group whom they claimed to be protesting for asking them to stop their charade, to the point where it became a form of bigotry on its own. We continue to see more violence and destruction and incivility from one American to another, and in all of this we collectively do not reel at the fact that all of this is injustice on a colossal scale. For all of the property pillaged and destroyed did not belong to Derek Chauvin or any of the other accused individuals, the people who have been killed or injured are not Derek Chauvin or the other accused individuals, the people who have been traumatized are not Derek Chauvin or any of the other accused individuals. What we saw was more akin to a Lynch Mob, and not a Lynch Mob focused on condemning an individual for their alleged crimes, but a Lynch Mob who have extracted their misguided vengeance on completely innocent bystanders. This is the most heinous form of injustice.


When small business owners, who were already suffering and on the verge of losing their work and their dreams due to economic hardship forced on them in the panic of a "Global Pandemic" are trying to save what little they have left from a savage mob, justice was vacated. Many of these small business owners probably agreed that there should have been a PEACEFUL protest to address the grievance of this extrajudicial killing. Instead they found themselves being assaulted, with some being killed, their shops ravaged and destroyed, and the last hope of recovery stolen from them. Many of the people who had their livelihoods destroyed were of the same demographic as those for whom the riots were supposedly benefiting.


There is more, a compounding of injustice. While Law Enforcement was using every available resource to contain the violence and looting it left a gap in their regular duties of preventative patrol and community outreach. Career criminals are opportunistic predators, they saw their chance to burglarize and rob, to steal and to harm, which in turn caused more innocent bystanders to be victimized.


So, this begs the question, who is going to stand up for the rights of all of those who have lost everything in this insurrection? The politicians? No, they are to busy posing and posturing and pandering to the victimizers who they see, either in ignorance or by design, as the true face of the protest instead of parasites who are capitalizing on a righteous complaint. Law Enforcement? No, they are to busy being betrayed by the politicians and vilified by the media, their ranks on the verge of depletion to the point where they will not be able to protect our society. The Taxpayer? The Taxpayer is getting it from both ends while being dismissed by the political class, who will spend hundreds of millions of dollars cleaning up spray paint while tearing down statues to placate a ravenous mob of petulant malcontents. Who will defend the innocent victims? It remains to be seen.


I know this for a certainty, the thing that has been lost in the purported name of justice, has been justice.

Back At It


Well, this whole shit show known as the COVID-19 pandemic was a blessing for me. I shunned mainstream and social media in exchange for getting to do things at home, be with my kids, and focus on other things.

I am not saying that the illness related to COVID-19 was not a public health issue, but that I believe that it has been blown out of proportion and will have long reaching social and economic consequences.

Now that this hysteria seems to be trailing off, I will get back to the website and the blog. I will however minimize my social media presence and maintain focus on doing the things I truly love to do and stop wasting time on non-sense.

So, bear with me while I get back to developing content and making TSM a better entity than I had originally envisioned.

Stay Safe, Stay Health, and God Bless,

Everyone Needs to Calm the Fuck Down..........


So, is everyone going to let media induced panic destroy the economy? Your retirement portfolio?

"COVID-19: Approximately 113,579 cases worldwide; 607 cases in the U.S. as of Mar. 9, 2020. Flu: Estimated 1 billion cases worldwide; 9.3 million to 45 million cases in the U.S. per year." - (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/flu.htm)

Of course we have every two-bit politician and bureaucrat caught-up in the craze to make it look like they are doing something to battle the "threat",.....



This pandemic could be a "false flag" in China's desire to restructure the global economy, or  another round of media manipulation to tank the economy for the 2020 elections...... maybe a little of both.

Don't Be a Chump!

NWO - The Vatican Edition

The Vatican Wing of the NWO view The United States as a threat to their schemes, especially with Donald Trump in the White House.

American Globalist, Jeffrey Sachs, directly attacked President Donald Trump by name, saying that the U.S. problem “became a far more significant problem with Donald Trump,” adding that the U.S. will be  “absolutely dangerous” to the “big consensus” if Trump “wins re-election this year.”

Sachs was the keynote speaker at the Feb. 5 conference on "New Forms of Solidarity: Towards fraternal inclusion, integration and innovation" at the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences.

The event was hosted by Argentine Bishop Marcelo Sanchez Sorondo, the Chancellor of the Pontifical Academies of Sciences and Social Sciences. Sorondo smiled and nodding approvingly during Sachs’ ten-minute speech. Sorondo has previously advocated that Catholics have no more than one or two children and The Pontifical Academy of Sciences, which he heads, has come under fire in recent years for hosting pro-abortion, pro-population control speakers with ties to the United Nations.

Some of the Things That Will be in the Mutant Mix.

Guns and Gear : My FAVORITE topic. I have been an avid shooter, collector, and gunsmith for most of my life. I am not your typical "Gun Nut"!

Food and Drink : Two of humanities greatest blessings are the sense of taste and the sense of smell. We love to have our pallets indulged by delicious foods and our thirst sated by fine beverages.

Philosophy : The key to understanding all other subjects, especially the human condition.

Cars : Fast, Cool, Sporty, Luxurious, or Utilitarian, cars say a lot about the person, a time period, or society.

Music : Music is the pinnacle of human expression.

History : The only true metric of human development, which is being revised and degraded by factions for political gain. History is not clean, pretty, or cut and dry. The only way that humans can advance is to know how prior generations dealt with adversity or to learn from their failings and missed steps.

Religion : It is the right of every human being is to practice their faith unencumbered by others, especially the State. I firmly believe that, but I also believe in the Triune God and the Great Commission. I will tell people about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the path to Salvation, peace, and God's undying love, it will be up to them to accept or reject that message. I am Christian who follows the Orthodox Catholic faith as practiced in the Anglican tradition.

Economic Issues : A free market, unlimited by unnecessary regulation leads to the most successful economies. Though consumer protection from intentionally or maliciously defective or dangerous products is necessary.

Art : This topic has been a hot mess for the better part of a century. I am not what most people consider an art critic, but I will always give you my 2 cents.

Politics : My opinions on all manner of political topics, unadulterated and unapologetic. I owe no allegiance to any political party, PAC, lobby, or politician. Everything and everyone is fair game.

Culture : Take it or leave it, I will let you know where I stand on many aspects of modern media.

Vexillology : Nothing tells the World where you stand like a flag.

Literature : the dying art-form, quickly being driven to extinction by the rise of the Idiocracy.

Science and Engineering : There is real science, great marvels of engineering and then there is the politically weaponized pseudo-science.
