“SOCIAL JUSTICE” — DEFINED & CLARIFIED:

(1.) AS DEFINED BY RADICAL-LEFT “DISTRACTING BS”: [Social Justice — “Justice in terms of distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society”; “The view that everyone deserves equal economic, political, and social rights and opportunities.”]

FOR EXAMPLE: Although someone the radical-left “selectively” determines to be “in need,” may be VOID of, or fall critically short of, related qualifications and ability, they nonetheless “deserve” equal opportunity to pilot the commercial aircraft you fly on; teach (indoctrinate) you children; prepare your food; practice law and/or medicine; etc. And, while our country’s children don’t “deserve” being factually taught about America’s greatness [in addition to agenda-driven shortfalls], they “each” nonetheless “deserve” a Certificate!

(2.) AS DEFINED BY “DEMONSTRATED REALITY: [Social Justice — “Replacing America’s constitution-structured ‘individual rights’ justice system with fascist/anarchist socialist/communist “Riotous Mob Rule.”]

FOR EXAMPLE: When things don’t go your way, simply unleash — in the name of peaceful protesting — “The Mob” to criminally hassle, intimidate, and physically abuse your targets; loot, rob, and pillage businesses; torch and burn cities; destroy treasured historical artifacts; etc. And, when deemed “selectively” appropriate, even call out a riotous race-baiting Maxine Watters to use the “Mob’s Threat" in order to further ensure a “GUILTY-GUILTY-GUILTY” verdict from a justifiably terrified and intimidated jury.

                                              =  =  =

Yes, stand ever-so-proud, America! Especially those who, through ignorance and/or intent, helped in any way to infest the people’s White House and U.S. Congress with the current nation-destroying occupants from the socialist/communist radical-left!

"WIND FARMS" --- YES OR NO?

Special Note: The below expression of opinion was also published as the “2nd article” under Public Mind heading, “On proposed wind farm in Labette County” — Page 4, Weekend, Sat-Sun, April 24-24, 2021 Edition of our local newspaper, the Parsons Sun.

                                          =     =  =

Wind Farms are likely to be a topic of nationwide fact-based, and otherwise-rooted, pro and con discussions and debates well into the future. 

Whether such facilities are banned, or one day become a blessing or curse addition to the landscape of Labette County, seems to be primarily at the ultimate discretion of three people. Presently, duly elected County Commissioners, Lonie Addis, Brian Kinzie, and Cole Proehl. A matter likely beyond overwhelming in many ways, especially when added to the ever-growing list of county commissioner-related obligations.

And, as our commissioners individually and collectively wrestle with this subject of indisputable complexity and heated debates, a most basic “ethics-rooted obligation” seems worthy of special attention — one no doubt struggling to survive in an atmosphere of ever-increasing demands and complexities. One likely continuing to seemingly whisper in the attentive ears of each commissioner, a very respectful and cautionary reminder.

A likely ever-present memory-jog that they were of course “not” elected to represent the Wind Farm industry of Germany or elsewhere; nor our federal government agencies distributing subsidies from the public taxpayer-funded public treasury; nor self-serving state government agencies; nor Global Warming/Climate Change activists; nor other special interest parties, etc.

They were, however, elected and remain duty bound to responsibly and in good faith do what is in the best interests of — not a selected few — but, rather, the “sum total” of their respective district constituents.

An obligation of considerable short-term and long-term consequences. A crucial responsibility that cannot be honored until our county commissioners are duly provided with — to their satisfaction — a sufficient amount of legitimate research-supported evidence and other essential support.

And, until such evidence and other support have been made available, sufficiently examined, and found to truly attest that the “factual short-term and long-term benefits” of a proposed Wind Farm project to the “sum total” of their respective Labette County constituents, overwhelmingly exceed the “factual negative consequences” to same . . . “how” our commissioners, and applicable others, are duty bound to handle their ethics-rooted approval/disapproval obligation, should not only be conspicuous, but also ultimately evidenced by a duly informed and respectfully responsible “Vote NO.” —William James & Cecilia Ann Moore

THE AGE-OLD “GOOD VS EVIL” STRUGGLE FOR SURVIVAL!

Since the beginning, humankind has awakened each day to an inescapable array of countless “choices”—individually (personally) and collectively (groups). Many if not most “choices” in some fashion involving the age-old struggle between “good” and “evil.”

Choices often especially complicated by the many faces and masks of these unrelenting rivals.    A never ending battle offering no middle ground — for we each must daily choose a side.   With consequences often not readily apparent, nor always rightfully suffered or enjoyed.  

A 24/7 struggle — where thankfully, “good” many times prevails; and unfortunately, “evil” too often the victor. With “history” the sometimes biased and agenda-driven scorekeeper. Where ignorance, apathy, complacency, denial, greed, and irrational fear, are high among the long-standing enablers of “evil’s” more successful endeavors.

And where neither side (good or evil) is immune to the “Basic Rules of Survival”: (1.) Ability to recognize, and willingness to acknowledge, one’s threats and enemies; (2.) Having or developing effective defenses against specific threats and enemies; and (3.) The willingness and courage to timely and successfully employ effective defenses against one’s threats and enemies.

With the above realities in mind, here’s another not to be ignored fact-of-life, which should not be news flash to anyone reasonably in touch with the happenings around us . . . “The socialist/communist radical-left infested Democrat Party is now, more than ever before, an existential threat to America — to our precious Constitutional Republic and the liberty, freedom, and opportunity it has (so far) long enabled!"

A truly active and increasingly emboldened “existential threat” of many “faces and masks” — and employing an ever-growing array of most “sinister weapons”! Some (not all) of the more life and liberty threatening are randomly summarized below:

(1.) A daily, 24/7 spewing of divide-and-conquer, hate one another, racist rhetoric from Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Maxine Watters, and other radical-left puppets now occupying the people’s White House and Congress;

(2.) A Joe Biden-created southern border crisis, and disastrous immigration policies, that are allowing the U.S. to become overwhelmed with an increasing flood of nation-destructive illegal aliens;

(3.) An unrelenting radical-left assault on our First Amendment and Second Amendment Rights;

(4.) Radical-left promised grants and other incentives for use of “Critical Race Theory,” “1619 Project,” etc., and other racist rooted divide-and-conquer propaganda, in school curriculum — aimed at ensuring future generations of anti-America graduates, brainwashed to believe the “Big Lie” that America has long been and remains infested with “Systemic Racism”;

(5.) Educational institutions that have become nation-destructively infested with self-serving radical-left biased administrative and teaching staffs, focused on “indoctrinating” rather than “educating” America’s youth;

(6.) Fascist/radical-left “Mobs” allowed to freely carry out criminal acts of harassment, intimidation, looting, property damage, and otherwise life and liberty threatening/destroying behavior in support of their self-serving agendas;

(7.) State and Federal election processes infested with radical-left biased corruption; and representatives within state and federal government lacking the courage and to purge and correct such;

(8.) With “all of the above” fueled, flamed, and otherwise promoted by a nation-destructive radical-left biased and self-serving agenda-driven so-called “primetime news media” (CNN, CBS, ABC, etc.) and “big tech” (Google, Apple, Amazon, Facebook, etc.).

The above again being a not all inclusive list of that which threatens to destroy America—humankind’s now only and likely last hope for individual liberty, freedom, and opportunity to pursue happiness.

Which, now takes us back to the prior cited “Basic Rules of Survival”: (1.) Ability to recognize, and willingness to acknowledge, one’s threats and enemies; (2.) Having or developing effective defenses against specific threats and enemies; and (3.) The willingness and courage to timely and successfully employ effective defenses against one’s threats and enemies. 

The basic playbook ultimately determining America’s fate in our struggle between good and evil. 

An inescapable “reality” and “responsibility”—that America’s children and grandchildren are depending upon us—the now so-called adults in the room—to step up to the plate and courageously deal with. 

A challenge of importance beyond words, and one that must not be assumed will be handled by someone else, nor that hope and wishing alone are successful strategies.   —William James Moore

“GOVERNING BY LIES & DECEPTION”

On April 19, 2021 Florida’s Governor, Ron Desantis, signed Florida’s “Anti-Riot” Bill into law. Rightfully accommodating “peaceful protests,” while strongly declaring zero-tolerance for “riots” and related threats to life, liberty, and property. According to Desantis — “It is the strongest anti-rioting, pro-law enforcement piece of legislation in the country”; and “We’re [Florida] not going to end up like Portland.”

And, as Florida’s state government takes bold, responsible, and decisive measures to protect the lives, liberty, and property within its borders, various other states continue to be governed by "lies and deception."  Lies and deception that encourage, accommodate, and defend riots and related unlawful behaviors that threaten and/or destroy life, liberty, and property—not only of the respective states’ citizens, but also that of other at-the-time therein occupants.

“Lies and deception” being treated with a level of widespread apathy, and lack of push-back, not only clearly destructive of our precious Constitutional Republic, and obviously counter to basic survival instincts—but also suggesting that some special “definitions pondering” might be worthwhile.

For example:

(1.) While one can of course “lie” by “assuming a horizontal or resting position on a supporting surface” — one can also “lie” by “making untrue statements with the intent to deceive.” Hence, the practice of knowingly communicating lies is “lying,” and a person who knowingly communicates “lies” is anyway you dice or slice it — a “liar.”

(2.) To “deceive” is of course “an act intended to cause someone to accept as true or valid what is false or invalid. And, while “deception” can be a relatively harmless act of an entertaining magician — “deception” can also be an underhanded act with the intent to impose a lie or otherwise invalid idea/belief in order to cause/promote ignorance, bewilderment, helplessness, compliance, etc.

Therefore, leaving very much relevant . . . the “intent” of lies and deception. That is, exactly where does the “intent” truly stack up in the age-old battle between “good and evil.” Whether the intent is to benefit those lied to and deceived . . . or, serve to profit the liar and deceiver.

Such as, when applicable socialist/communist radical-left puppets infesting the people’s White House, Congress, and elsewhere:

(1.) Create an ever-worsening America-destroying illegal-alien indisputable “crisis” at our southern border, and then declare and treat such as a relatively void-of-priority “challenge.” While at same time frame, telling immigration authorities to stop using terms like “illegal” and “alien” and start using “noncitizen.”

(2.) Declare Georgia’s recent legislation (actually aimed at improving the legitimacy of its state elections) to be “Jim Crow in 21st Century,” “an Atrocity,” “an Attack on the Constitution,” etc.;

(3.) Claim to be “nation healers,” “unifiers,” “uniquely caring,” etc. — while, for example, refusing to condemn riotous acts of violence that have destroyed (and continue to threaten) precious lives, liberty, and property in various of America’s cities; while in turn failing to condemn inflammatory rhetoric of Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) and others calling for protestors to become “more active” and “more confrontational,” etc.;

(4.) Self-righteously claim to be non-racists, while declaring “all whites” to be inherently racists, and “all blacks” that don’t agree with such claim to be “not black” — as they in turn unrelentingly promote other divide-and-conquer aspects of “identity politics” and “anti-racist indoctrinations” in our schools, workplaces, etc.


And “why” do a nation-threatening number of politicians within Democrat Party; Republican RINOS; and others continue to condone, promote, and practice “Governing by Lies & Deception”?

Simply because they believe “they must” in order to get elected/re-elected or otherwise personally profit. Which obviously means their political existence or otherwise self-serving aims are the result of, and contingent upon, a “constituency” or other support source that has so far — through ignorance or intent — bought into the big “lies and deception” of the anti-America socialist/communist radical-left.

A radical-left of self-serving power-craving “enemies within,” with long existing Marxist divide-and-conquer aims and agendas to unrelentingly destroy our U.S. Constitution, secured borders, common-language English, common-culture founded on Judeo-Christian values, free enterprise focused economic system, personal confidence and patriotic spirit — and ultimately our liberty and freedom.

“Lies and Deception” patriotic Americans “must” timely and unrelentingly challenge and successfully rebut with “truth” and “trustworthiness” — in our families, friendships, places of employment, professional/community organizations, educational institutions, all levels of government, social media, and other aspects of society.

At stake—nothing less than the survival of our precious Constitutional Republic (humankind’s best and likely last hope for individual liberty, freedom, and pursuit of happiness).

Humankind’s “good versus evil” struggle is age-old and ever-lasting . . . and sooner or later we each must make and eventually demonstrate which side we have chosen to be on — and eventually partake, individually and collectively, in a “banquet of consequences.” Consequences in turn (either proudly or shamefully) included in an inescapable legacy passed to America’s children and grandchildren.

“REALITY” VS “THE BIG LIE”

On April 11, 2021, in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, a 20-year-old African-American man was fatally shot by a police officer during a traffic stop. According to Brooklyn Center police, the police officer shot him accidentally; she allegedly intended to use her Taser but discharged her firearm instead, striking him with one shot.

Yet another “selected” tragedy used—with lightning speed and unrelenting focus—by nation-destructive anti-America “enemies within”! As another self-serving excuse for mob violence, property destruction, looting, and on-going promotion of “The Big Lie”!

Yes, “The Big Lie” — that America is infested with systemic racism and a police force agenda-driven to kill black males.

A “most hideous lie” ranking high among the more powerful divide-and-conquer weapons of the socialist/communist radical-left, and one in shameful disregard of “Reality.”

Yes, the potentially nation-healing “Reality” that—regardless of skin color—America is, by way of our precious Constitutional Republic, humankind’s best hope for individual liberty, freedom, and opportunity!

A “Reality” that also “debunks” the systemic racist image so wrongly attributed to America’s police force.  A “Reality” founded on publicly available data, such as:

(1.) America’s 9-1-1 system typically receives about 240 million calls each year.

(2.) During a typical year, America’s police departments are handling an estimated 375 million encounters with civilians; including some 25 to 30 million traffic stops.

(3.) In connection with activities (1.) and (2.) above, “yearly arrests” have typically included about 8 million “whites” — as compared to about 3 million “blacks.”

(4.) Furthermore, in 2016, the year the anti-police movement got a special booster shot from the meddling of a nation-dividing President Obama and that of racist-agenda promoting others . . . of the approximate 3 million unarmed “blacks” arrested — about 14 died (or about .0005 percent). The predominant contributing factor of each death — “resisting arrest” or other “aggressive confrontation.”

(5.) The numbers supporting above cited examples may of course vary depending upon the source and specific year, etc. Nevertheless, the crucial take away is — regardless of skin color — in America, one is far more likely to win a sizable lottery than to be detained, hassled, arrested, or killed by a racist infested police officer.

(6.) While, in comparison to the above shamefully ignored “Reality Check,” . . . at least 585 “black” homicides took place during the last 365 days in Chicago.

Yes, according to 04/13/2021 reporting by the Chicago Tribune, which maintains an extensive database on homicide and death by gunfire, at least 585 blacks were killed in the last 365 days in the Windy City. 585 homicides far exceeding the number of Hispanics killed (71), whites (43), and Asians (2) in the last 365 days.

In addition, The Tribune reports that 155 blacks have been killed so far in 2021 — the highest number for the first three months of any year since 2017. As stated by The Tribune, "The majority of Chicago homicides are the result of gun [i.e., people] violence," and "The majority of the victims of homicide in Chicago are young, black men."

Yes, young black men, killed primarily by other young black men — and not by fictional racist-infested police officers.

At least 585 tragic deaths of “blacks” — none of which have sparked notable protests, 24/7 agenda-driven news coverage, or cries of contempt from self-serving politicians, critical-race theory supporting corporations, and so-called racial justice seeking sports industries, etc.

For, such self-absorbed, self-promoting, nation-destructive factions of our society are much too focused on spewing “The Big Lie”! Providing further evidence of the ever-present age-old struggle of good versus evil.

A truly on-going spiritual battle which sooner or later we each must choose which side we are on.        —William James Moore

TO “VOTE” OR “NOT TO VOTE” ???

Although, relatively speaking, our national mid-term/general elections—as well as those at various city, county, state levels—may be a bit into the future, some hold the view that “preparation” can never be a “too early” thing! Hence, the following planning aids for consideration.

EXCUSES FOR “NOT VOTING”: As special assist to those forever looking for time-tested support for “not voting,” here are a few of the “more popular” excuses: forgot to register/vote, bad weather, sick, disabled, inconvenient voting place, ID required, proof of U.S. citizenship required, conflicting appointments, have to work, on travel/vacation, disgusted with turned-off by politics, no good candidates, all political parties are the same, politics is all about money, corrupt politicians, and, politicians just care about getting elected, the one I want didn’t run.  But wait — if none of these do the trick — maybe this old (recently reinforced) standby will help: “all elections are rigged, so our votes don’t really count anyway!”

“REASONS FOR VOTING”: If doing one’s part to help protect and preserve humankind’s best and last hope for liberty and freedom doesn’t work for you, . . . then how about waking up one morning in January 2021 to the shameful reality that the people’s White House has indeed been infested with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris — puppets of the America-destroying socialist/communist radical-left!
