An "Open Letter" to Our U.S. Congress

To: All members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives

Subject: “Violations of the Public Trust”

While the numbers from an array of surveys often vary, the bottom-line indicates a growing public distrust and disapproval of both our U.S. Congress and the news media in general.

“Even more alarming”:

(1.) Both the congress and news media continue to demonstrate a lack of willingness, competency, and wisdom to correct their shameful violations of the public trust;

(2.) A truly worrisome number of survey respondents reportedly hold the view that both the congress and news media are doing OK;

(3.) It is of course votes (not the tooth fairy) that fill the seats of congress—and enable the incompetent to remain there again and again. And, it is not the tooth fairy who continues to purchase the newspapers and select the TV and other media broadcasts, regardless of distrustful content.

The criticisms included and referenced herein, are of course not aimed at the members of congress and the news media who unrelentingly strive to do what is right for our country. Much to the contrary, such are directed at those who in any manner constitute, support, and enable our country’s foreign and domestic enemies. Those with aims to destroy the very “foundation blocks” of our Constitutional Republic—(i.e., our U.S. Constitution; borders, common-language English; and common-culture founded on Judeo-Christian values).

A long and ongoing destruction through, for example: an unsustainable national debt; unsecured borders; lack of an enforced merit-based immigration system; accommodation of immigrants who refuse to assimilate our country’s common-language and common-culture; attempts to disarm law-abiding citizens; infiltration of our education institutions with those who refuse to teach unbiased, fact-based World and American History—as such institutions and others strive to silence the free speech of their students and other Americans; etc.

Of course, posting of this “open-letter” is not done with any delusions that any of those to whom it is aimed will ever see, read, or demonstrate any constructive response to the citizen-concerns it raises.

Concerns that have time and again been elaborated upon in numerous other communications (e.g., other postings on FB and at personal web page http://threats-to-our-liberty-and-survival.blogspot.com ; as well as a number of e-mails, formal letters, etc., to various members of congress over the years).

Concerns that are the same or very similar to those shared and expressed in various ways by millions of other Americans. Serious, reality-based U.S. citizen concerns being expressed by individual Americans who—in the face of an irresponsible government and nation-destructive news media—find encouragement in the wisdom reflected by reality-based quotations such as those inserted below.

"Nation-Destructive Distractions"

Many things are going uniquely good, great, and outstanding in our country. In this the first and yet only one of its kind Constitutional Republic. One that embraces the inalienable (God-given) rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness—in a manner that is the envy of much if not most of the World.

Our great nation also faces a number of challenges, ranging from relatively nuisance issues to those truly representing matters of crisis (“elephants in the room”—so to speak).

For example, a U.S. border that is not safely secured against the invasion of illegal aliens, drugs, criminals, terrorists, and other threats to U.S. citizens, ranks as an “elephant in the room”! A very real and present threat created by an inexcusably dysfunctional U.S. Congress. 

More specifically, by radical-left democrats “and” radical/rhino-republicans who put self-serving political agendas above the best interest of our nation! A U.S. Congress that, as of this writing, has shamefully not yet responsibly dealt with this growing crisis. An inexcusably-irresponsible U.S. Congress elected and still tolerated by many voters basking in ignorance, apathy, complacency, denial, greed, and counter-productive fears!

On the other hand, and regardless of the “nation-destructive distractions” of dysfunctional politicians, supported by irresponsible news/social media and likeminded others:

(1.) “Non-Essential” government employees being sent home to do nothing but wait a few weeks or more for pay they are certain to eventually receive for doing nothing, should not be viewed as an “elephant in the room” national issue. But, more aptly, a long-past-due time to ask serious questions such as, “Why do U.S. taxpayers tolerate having “non-essential” employees on the U.S. taxpayers’ payroll in the first place?”

(2.) The temporary disruption of pay for our active/reserve/retired U.S. Military personnel, and U.S. government employees temporarily furloughed and/or required to work during so-called partial government shut-downs, should not be viewed as an “elephant in the room” national issue. But, rather, long-past due time for some serious questions such as: 

(a.) “Why do U.S. Congress members continue to receive their pay and perks during such disruptions—that they cause, mandate, and use to their self-serving benefit?”

(b.) “Why don’t people of reasonably sound mind who receive pay and benefits well above that of many of their private citizen (non-government/non-military) peers, live within their means and put some savings dollars away for, at least, basic necessities—especially for disruptions as predictable as recurring U.S. Congress created government partial shut-downs?”

(c.) “Why should any among us who are receiving essentially “eventually-assured” funds or other benefits from the public treasury, consider that we should be immune to the uncertainties and other life-challenges endured by countless Americans in the civilian work force—as their employment is often disrupted by temporary and permanent layoffs resulting from ever changing technology or other economic considerations?” 

(d.) “And, why as result of such self-proclaimed immunity from life’s challenges, and our irresponsible budgeting, should an irresponsible news/social media portray us as innocent and helpless victims deserving special treatment at the expense of others?”

It is truly to our country’s demise that we lose sight of the fact that our almost $22 trillion-in-debt “public treasury,” is funded in critical measure by every-day self-employed/small business/private industry working Americans.

A U.S. public treasury funded by people who never hear these words from their respective company/corporate employers, or from themselves as small business owners or otherwise self-employed: “Go home for several weeks or more and do nothing for your place of work.” “And, soon you will be called back to work and paid-in-full for the all of the work and other benefits you have missed while away.”

A Few More Words about "So-Called Freebies" for Illegal Aliens

As reported by Nevada Sheriff Departments, on January 9 or 10, 2019, 56-year-old Connie Koontz was found shot to death at her home in the Gardnerville Ranchos, Nevada. 

About a mile away and four days later, on January 13, 74-year-old Sophia Renken was also found shot to death in her home. 

Then about 50 miles away and three days later, on January 16, the bodies of 81-year-old Gerald David and his wife, 80-year-old Sharon David, were found dead in their home on La Guardia Lane in south Reno; also shot to death. 

Three days later and about 31 miles away from Reno, on January19, 2019, 19-year-old illegal alien Wilbur Ernesto Martinez-Guzman was arrested on an immigration charge after being rammed by deputies in a Carson City, Nevada Mall parking lot. 

District Attorneys from Washoe and Douglas Counties, Nevada have said there is enough evidence to support charging Martinez-Guzman with the afore-cited murders. Reportedly, the suspect has lived in the Carson City area about a year.

If and when this illegal alien suspect is proven guilty, what will likely never receive due news coverage will be the fact that he did not have to “walk” the above noted miles to, from, and between these four murders. Because, Nevada is among at least twelve states having laws that allow undocumented immigrants (illegal aliens) to obtain a driver's license or some type of driving permit.

However, the “so-called Freebies” for illegal aliens of course doesn’t end with driver’s licenses and driving permits. Because, for example, we also have at least twenty states that allow unauthorized immigrants (illegal aliens) to attend a public college at the same in-state tuition rate that legal residents and American citizens pay. And, a few, like California, even allow those immigrants to apply for financial aid. 

Not to mention, of course, the ever-growing push by various factions of the radical-left to openly and lawfully permit illegal aliens to vote in U.S. elections (a practice likely being carried out “illegally” nation-wide to a dangerous extent that “should be” most alarming and action-prompting to any rational U.S. citizen).

So, you see folks, when you cut to the chase it really isn’t about “those immigrants”; “that President Trump”; or the “otherwise them”—it’s about “us”! Because, “we the people” have for years, through our elected government representatives, been giving our country away largely for the sake of “democrat-craved votes” and both “democrat and republican craved cheap labor.” As we legal citizens have basked, and continue to bask, in our sometimes innocent and often times intentional ignorance, apathy, complacency, denial, greed, and counter-productive fears.

And why the herein use of the term “so-called Freebies”? Because, of course, nothing is truly “free”. Someone, somewhere, somehow—ultimately pays.

It seems President Abraham Lincoln was unsettlingly prophetic when reportedly stating, “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”

"Once Upon A Time"

“Once upon a time” some very wise and courageous men and women fled a county of tyranny, and in another land established an envy-of-the-world constitutional republic of unequaled liberty and opportunity (our USA), after at heavy sacrifice first defeating the military of their once cruel and oppressive king. That time was long ago.

“Once upon a time” people legally immigrated to this best hope for humankind; proudly took the initiative to become lawful U.S. citizens; learned and used its common-language English; assimilated its common-culture founded on Judeo-Christian values; worked hard to make it an even better place for their children and grandchildren; and successfully defended it time and again against threats foreign and domestic. That time still exists for millions of people who respect America’s constitution, laws, borders, language, and culture.

“Once upon a time” illegal aliens began: invading this best hope for humankind; seeking out sanctuary states and cities where U.S. citizenship is not needed in order to pillage the public treasury; refusing to learn and use our common-language English; refusing to assimilate our common-culture founded on Judeo-Christian values; disrespecting our U.S. Flag and the constitutional republic it represents; and, rather than working to help build upon America’s many successes, choosing to contaminate our country with anti-American cultures, crime, corruption, and otherwise liberty-destroying social decay, in likeness to the failed nations from which they came. That time began many years ago, still exists, and continues to worsen.

“Once upon a time” generations of relatively spoiled and world/U.S. history-ignorant citizens, consumed with self-destructive apathy, complacency, denial, and greed, found that they could get so-called “free stuff” from the public treasury, by electing representatives who would accommodate their self-serving desires. As corrupt and power-craving politicians likewise found their positions self-serving indulgence could be seemingly life-time secured by promising their constituents endless outpourings of so-called “free stuff” from the public treasury. Even if doing so required running our nation into unsustainable, liberty-destroying debt. That time began years ago, still exist, and is rapidly worsening at a critical rate.

“Once upon a time” our country’s foreign and domestic enemies realized that they could eventually destroy this best hope for humankind without firing a shot (so to speak). By infiltrating our news media, and administration of our schools/colleges/universities, and our government, with those who unrelentingly support, through intent or ignorance, anti-American/anti-U.S. Constitution ideology. That time was long ago, still exists, and is rapidly worsening at a critical pace. And has and continues to contaminate an ever-growing critical mass of legal and illegal voters who have loaded, and continue to load, the elected and appointed positions of power within our government with individuals having radical-left, socialist, communist, radical-Islamic, and other anti-American/anti-U.S. Constitution aims.

And, we so-called adults in the room had damn well better wake up, and by way of our votes and other respective ways and means, start openly and constructively confronting and combatting the nation-destructive insanity taking place all around us! Otherwise, there will shamefully be another “once upon a time” when our children and grandchildren will suffer unthinkable life and liberty threatening hardship! As they, at great sacrifice, are called upon to strive, struggle, and fight to salvage the precious liberty that we let others chip, chip, chip away and ultimately destroy before our eyes. As we and others before us have irresponsibly basked in self-destructive apathy, complacency, denial, greed. And have likewise wallowed in the lunacy-founded, counter-productive “fear of offending” those who, through intent or ignorance, have been and continue to be hell-bent to deny us and others our inalienable (God-given) rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.

"Free Ain't Free"---And---"A Cloud Ain't Necessarily a Cloud"

On Tuesday, January 15, 2019, a federal judge in New York blocked the Trump administration from asking about citizenship in the upcoming 2020 U.S. Census, supposedly finding that asking whether one is or is not a U.S. citizen would “violate the public trust.”

So, now, according to radical-left ideology, it is not only “immoral” to secure our U.S. borders against the invasion of illegal aliens, it now also “violates the public trust” to even try to determine how many “non-citizens” are within our borders. And, as we ponder that bit of self-destructive lunacy a moment, possibly something within the following babbling is also worthy of our consideration amidst the many distractions we are smothered with.

Many if not most of us blessed to hang around for a while on this gift-of-life journey, sooner or later grasp that “nothing is truly free”—because, someone at some time in some way ultimately pays. An inescapable reality many of us tend to especially ignore as we partake of the so-called “freebies” offered by the Facebooks, Googles, and other Internet-based companies.

For example, Facebook, Google, etc., obviously spend untold billions upon billions of dollars maintaining, processing, and storing billions upon billions of text/audio/photo/etc. files (data), and making a selective amount of it available to millions of people. Including people like me who have to date not purchased a single item as the result of their advertising, nor have otherwise directly paid them a cent by way of cash, check, or other medium of monetary exchange.

However, for the privilege of using their so-called “freebies,” I and millions of others have knowingly or unknowingly provided the Facebooks, Googles, etc., with access to a magnitude of our “personal information,” such as, our contacts list; phone/text records; photo files; Internet search history; likes and dislikes; political leanings; purchase history; age; gender; marital status; address; etc., etc., etc. And, as a result, the Facebooks, Googles, etc., wind up knowing more about us than our U.S. Federal Government does! That is, unless our U.S. Federal Government is among those who pay or “hack” the Facebooks, Googles, etc., for the massive “data” they collect and store (in the “the cloud,” of course).

But, we are savvy enough to know that the increasingly-massive amount of “personal and otherwise data” collected by the Facebooks, Googles, etc., isn’t actually stored in an innocent and illusive “cloud.” Rather, it is maintained (in essence forever) in ever-growing numbers of on-the-Earth “servers” (computers that provide data to other computers) owned by the Facebooks, Googles, etc. Mindboggling reservoirs of data available for “sale” and/or “otherwise use” by the Facebooks, Googles, etc.—or those who have the capability to illegally “hack” such systems.

An absolutely inconceivable amount and nature of data (including personal information)! Of which the collection and use of certainly seems to far outweigh the aforementioned New York federal judge’s concerns—his so-called worry about a U.S. Constitution-permitted census attempting to determine how many U.S. citizens, and otherwise occupants, are residing within our country’s borders. Questions that the Facebooks, Googles, etc., likely already have the answers to—tucked away in their “clouds.”

And, in closing, one can’t help but wonder if the owners of the Facebooks, Googles, etc.—in addition to pursuing their understood craving to make a business dollar or two—have by the slimmest of chance (smile), ever tripped over bits of historical insight and wisdom such as emphasized by the following quotation:

“The control of information is something the elite always does, particularly in a despotic form of government. Information, knowledge, is power. If you can control information, you can control people.” —Tom Clancy (1947-2013), American novelist.

As the Facebooks, Googles, etc., assume that we-the-people will, through ignorance, apathy, complacency, denial, and greed, forever self-destructively ignore the following also long ago uttered reality:

“Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives.” —James Madison (1751–1836), 4th U.S. President; hailed as “Father of the Constitution” for his key role in drafting the U.S. Constitution & the Bill of Rights.

                                                       —William James Moore

"Parenting Without a License"

America, as well as most other so-called civilized countries, is awash with licensing requirements. Documented permits granting authorization to do something. Based on some form of demonstrated evidence that one not only has the “desire” and “capability” to perform specific functions, but also is “qualified” to do so in accordance with certain society-established requirements.

Yes, whether one is, for example, running a donut shop; teaching school; practicing medicine; performing work as a certified mechanic, welder, or electrician, etc.; driving an automobile; or getting married—to do so legally often requires a license. Evidence of being capable and qualified to do so.

However, of course not so when it comes to among the (if not the) most important functions and responsibilities on the planet—human reproduction and parenting! No “beforehand mandated evidence” attesting to parenting desire, willingness, capability, and qualifications—as an estimated average of about 353,000 children are born around the world each day. Nothing to ensure a parenting environment that, for example:

* Includes a capable, qualified, and loving mother and father;

* Encourages belief in a loving and forgiving God of their personal understanding;

* Instills self-confidence and self-esteem, as opposed to insecurity and self-pity;

* Distinguishes right, truth, and reality, from wrong, falsehood, and fantasy;

* Protects against parental unrealistic expectations; abandonment; abuse; etc.;

* Cautions against treating life’s blessings, challenges, and realities, with self-destructive apathy, complacency, denial, greed, and fear;

* Applies constructive as opposed to destructive discipline;

* Promotes good work ethic and attitudes of responsibility; earned-achievement, independence, and self-sufficiency, as opposed to mindsets rooted in deserving, dependence, and victimhood;

* Encourages self-respect, due respect for others, caring, and self-sacrifice, as opposed to self-loathing, undue disrespect of others, uncaringness, and greed;

* Instills an understanding that humankind’s rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness are inalienable (God-given), and not derived from other humankind. And that such rights must be protected, defended, and never abused or taken for granted;

* Stresses the importance of seeking the Serenity to accept the things one cannot change, Courage to change the things one can, and Wisdom to know the difference.

= = =

I, and likely many others, will forever regret not long, long ago having and demonstrating a much more responsible grasp of the parenting needs summarized above. That which we now understand as being so truly crucial. A failure we and our loved ones will long suffer in various ways. However, life does not come with a “reverse gear.” So, we are left each in our own ways with the importance of embracing our gift-of-life journey. With the understanding that, while as children and adults we often have little to no control of what happens to us, at least as adults, those of us blessed with the opportunity to exercise our free-will can, much if not most of the time, choose how "we respond" to life’s ups and downs.

As some of we adults and our children and grandchildren, are raised by capable, qualified, and loving parents; and some experience otherwise.

While even those born into and raised by way of the most ideal and enviable of circumstances, none the less likely follow an often not openly acknowledged, ages-old, well-traveled path fittingly described by the following quotation:

“Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.” –Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

As I, and likely countless other blessed to be parents ponder more with age—how will we be judged; and if we will be forgiven?

"To Run or Not to Run for U.S. President"

Our 2020 U.S. Presidential Election is scheduled for Tuesday, November 3, 2020—a little more than about 22 months from now! Seems every day we hear of someone announcing, or getting ready to announce their candidacy. The one to beat, President Trump, will by then be age 74. If meant for me to still be around at that time, I won’t be “all that much older than he.” So, have been giving some thought about possibly making a run myself. Driven by—you know—an unequaled craving to “serve the people.” As well as, the fact that after years of effort and planning, I have come up with a for certain “sure win” six-point campaign platform that just must not go to waste.

However, at this point, I’m already running into some potentially show-stopping “funding issues.” According to a reporting by The Washington Post, the final price tag for the 2016 election was about $6.5 billion, for the presidential and congressional elections combined. The presidential contest—primaries and all—accounted for some $2.4 billion of that total. From which, Clinton’s unsuccessful campaign ($768 million in spending) outspent Trump’s successful one (of $398 million) by nearly 2 to 1. So, any way I dice and slice it, history and logic says I’m presently short somewhere between about $400 million to $800 million. A daunting challenge to say the least!

But, back to my earlier mentioned “sure win” campaign platform, as summarized below:

(1.) Convincingly promise “more free stuff” from the public treasury than promised by President Trump and all other candidates combined;

(2.) Convincingly demonstrate that I hate President Trump and America “much more than” the combined hatred of all other presidential candidates;

(3.) Convincingly swear that I am not a “traditional Democrat,” but rather, a “much more” dyed-in-the-wool progressively-savvy “socialist-democrat” than all other candidates combined. Without ever explaining or admitting, of course, that world history shows that “socialism” is a stepping stone to “communism”;

(4.) Convincingly promise to, on day one of my presidency, issue an Executive Order establishing the U.S. as a “Sanctuary Nation,” with open (not effectively secured/controlled) borders, for all illegal aliens who: still hold allegiance to their failed homeland of origin; refuse to learn “and use” the U.S. common-language English; refuse to assimilate the U.S. common-culture founded on Judeo-Christian values; overwhelm U.S. schools, hospitals, law enforcement, and other infrastructure; abuse and bankrupt the U.S. welfare system; etc., etc.—and, most importantly, always faithfully and consistently vote for all socialist-democrat candidates.

(5.) With as-needed fist-pounding, screaming, screeching, shouting, and verbal utterances of the “F” word and other profanity, convincingly make a commitment to purge the U.S. of “all” legal-citizen-owned weapons, as well as “all” persons determined through democrat-socialist party opinion and/or prime time news media coverage, to be racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, and/or other-phobic, in addition to those inclined to “offend” others, be not politically correct, and/or be seekers and respecters of truth, fact, and reality;

(6.) And, last but not least, convincingly promise to, within the first 100 days of defeating the Trump Presidency, purge all aspects of the federal government of any and all traces of the prior Trump Administration. This being an especially popular commitment, especially with the “Deep State” which will ultimately be willfully instrumental in swiftly carrying it out. 

                                         =   =   =

And as a growing many of the competition strives to “copycat” the above truly original platform elements, it’s now back to pondering the aforementioned campaign “funding issues.” Not for sure why, but as the pressure mounts to make a decision whether to go for it or not, the potential need to one day have to consider “colluding” keeps coming to mind, along with other random terms and names, such as, the Clinton Foundation, George Soros, etc.

Oh well, at least by identifying as a democrat-socialist, fair and balanced media coverage won’t be an issue. Nor, will a “personal background check” be needed or of any importance—which would in my case otherwise be a for certain political nail-in-the-coffin show-stopper, so-to-speak!

But, again, after it is all said and done, the bottom line is that it’s all about “serving the people”!

An Open Letter To U.S. House Of Representatives Ethics Committee

[Foreword: Signed Original of below letter was mailed 01/06/2019]

January 06, 2019

Subject: “Citizen-Request” for House Ethics Committee Action

Congresswoman Susan W. Brooks,
House Ethics Committee Chairwoman
1015 Longworth House Office Building (LHOB)
Washington DC 20515

Dear Chairwoman Brooks,

There is of course much good in this world; all of which being worthy of our recognition and gratitude. However, there is also much that is not right—none the least that which prompts this very sincere and otherwise fitting letter and herein request for your timely and responsible attention.

As you are aware: Representative Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Representative Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) were recently sworn into the 116th U.S. Congress, joining the Legislature as the first two Muslim congresswomen. Both breaking U.S. tradition by wearing Islamic hijab on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, as long-standing rules were changed to allow “religious” head coverings; as both were sworn-in, not on a Judeo-Christian Bible, but on an Islamic Koran. And, within hours of being sworn-in, Representative Rashida Tlaib further dishonored the office she now holds and the country now sworn to serve, by expressing the words “We’re gonna impeach the mother*****r” in public speeches referring to President Trump. As another new arrival, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), has publically defended Representative Tlaib for use of such profanity in referring to President Trump.

By any measure of basic common sense, logic, political decorum, human decency, and due respect for our country’s founding principles, the above cited behavior of these three U.S. Representatives signals the nation-deteriorating path our country is on. Furthermore, such reprehensible conduct is likewise clearly in conflict with, as a minimum, U.S. House of Representatives Rule XXIII - Code Of Official Conduct, Item 1., which, as you well know, states: “A Member, Delegate, Resident Commissioner, officer, or employee of the House shall behave at all times in a manner that shall reflect creditably on the House.” And, for such disgraceful behavior to be considered as “reflecting creditably” on our U.S. House of Representatives—or on our country to which the House is sworn to serve—would clearly be in blatant defiance of any resemblance of sanity.

Therefore, it is most fittingly requested that each of the above cited House Members—and other House Members now or in the future displaying same and/or other behavior in violation of any/all House Rules or U.S. Constitutional Law—be timely investigated, prosecuted, and held accountable to the fullest extent allowed by our U.S. Constitution.

Furthermore, should it be determined that this U.S. citizen-request is beyond the scope of authority of the House Ethics Committee, it is requested this letter be timely, officially, and faithfully forwarded to the branch of our federal government that is ultimately constitutionally-responsible for the follow-up requested herein.

Sincerely,

William James Moore
