“IGNORANCE NOT ALWAYS BLISS” — “CAN ALSO BE SUICIDAL”!!!


[“Special Heads-Up” . . . If looking for brief and feel-good reading . . . suggest looking elsewhere.]


As . . . on this date of 04/29/2024 . . . various of our U.S. Colleges/Universities continue to be infested with pro-Hamas/anti-Israel protests and demonstrations — at times including chants of “Death to Israel”; “Death to America”; and disrespectful burning of our U.S. Flag . . . there are “other must not be forgotten sides of the story”!

“For example” . . . On the weekend of October 07, 2023, a truly embodiment of evil — the barbaric “Terrorist Group” Hamas — rained thousands of missiles down on a caught-off-guard Israel . . . and by way of a sinister air, sea, and land invasion, killed hundreds upon hundreds of terrified and defenseless human beings of all ages.

Many of whom being savagely raped, burnt alive, beheaded, and/or otherwise tortured and brutally slaughtered (including babies), as others — screaming for help — were taken as terrified hostages back into Hamas-controlled Gaza. And, yes, some of the dead and taken hostage were also American citizens!

A horrific massacre approved by, and in large measure funded by, Iran . . . the World’s worst and long-standing sponsor of terrorism. Yes, the same Iran from which the vows and chants of “Death to Israel” and “Death to America” are often spewed! And, yes, the same Iran whose wealth to fund terrorism has been and continues to be shamefully enhanced and enabled by the Marxist/Communist policies and agendas now infesting various aspects of our U.S. government; so-called Mainstream Media; etc.!

AND THEN . . . came, and yet continues, the epitome of “projection, deception, cruelty, and absolute lunacy”! Where the “true victim” (Israel) is labeled and scorned as the “oppressor” . . . and the “true oppressor” (Hamas) in turn pitied and glorified as the “victim”!

Yes, “no sooner” had this barbaric slaughter upon Israel taken place, than the “anti-Israel” and “pro-Palestine/Hamas” protests and demonstrations began to take root in various places around the globe . . . and yes, even in the U.S., including but not limited to a shameful many of our so-called Institutions of Higher Learning (more aptly, radical-left Indoctrination Centers).

Media-embraced protests and demonstrations that even the most basic of rational thought and moral consideration should find to be not only “grossly deplorable” beyond words . . . but also to be displays of extremely dangerous and self-destructive support, embracement, and celebration” of the heinous barbaric acts and aims of Hamas and similar Terrorist groups. Yes, “Terrorist groups” that regardless of name (Hamas; ISIS; etc.) and stated aims, are nothing less than heinous present-day arms of a very real ancient-rooted evil (Racial-Militant Islam) . . . one continuing to wage World War III against 21st Century Civilization. With world domination the primary aim, and the initial top priority targets for extinction being the Jewish and Christian faiths.

And, in my view and that of like-informed others, those who for whatever reason choose to put “Radical-Militant Islam” — and the existential threat it poses — in the sack of “uninformed ignorance is bliss,” are just plain and simply closing their eyes and ears to the fact that “IGNORANCE” IS NOT ALWAYS “BLISS” . . . IT CAN ALSO BE “DAMNED SUICIDAL”!!!

Therefore, in respectful support of those who might wish to meaningfully enhance, or in some way otherwise support, their present level of understanding of the threat of Radical-Militant Islam — and/or be of help to others who may be in need of pulling their uninformed or misinformed heads out of some self-destructive sand . . . at the end of this expression of views are a few “suggested readings.” Such of course being but a trivial few of the absolute magnitude of information now available on this, as well as countless other, crucial subjects. Of the herein suggested readings, Brigitte Gabriel’s “Because They Hate” is my personal priority pick. And yes, also included is reference to a YR2016 self-published writing, “Killing Life, Liberty, & Pursuit of Happiness” . . . that more than anything else likely represents an early-on part of my yet continuing personal strive to at least a bit mitigate my personal previous level of ignorance on the subject.

In closing . . . I am among the likely many who are deeply troubled by what seems to be a growing — and ultimately self-destructive — pandemic of ignorance, apathy, complacency, denial, and counter-productive fear regarding the age-old and yet today threat of Radical-Militant Islam. Especially, as millions upon millions of illegal aliens from who knows where, with who know what intent, continue to flow through our country’s uncontrolled borders!

A level and nature of most sincere concern . . . often very unsettlingly magnified by not being able to personally recognize the present existence of — and see a way of meaningfully supporting — a truly serious U.S. defense against the ever-so-real threat of Radical-Militant Islam . . . an epitome of heinous evil, too often being enabled by “suicidal attitudes and behaviors” infested with the delusion that in all cases “ignorance can be bliss”!

"A BIT OF OPTIONAL READING DISPLEASURE" . . . SNAPSHOTS FROM HISTORY WORTHY OF SPECIAL PONDERING:


YES, THE FOLLOWING PARTICULAR SNAPSHOTS FROM HISTORY JUST MIGHT BE A BIT WORTHY OF SOME SPECIAL . . . especially as various of America’s so-called Institutions of Higher Learning (more aptly, “Indoctrination”) are infested with pro-HAMAS (Terrorists) demonstrations, at times chanting “Death to Israel”; “Death to America”; and public disrespectful burning of our U.S. Flag; etc.:

In speeches, September 29, 2014, to the United Nations General Assembly, and six months later, on March 03, 2015, before a special joint-meeting of our U.S. Congress, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu delivered very strong, rational, and plain-spoken warnings. About the growing threat of radical/militant Islam, and why ISIS [e.g. "HAMAS"; etc.] must be defeated and Iran must never be allowed to gain nuclear weapons capability. In his September 29, 2014 speech he strongly cautioned: “It's not militants. It's not Islam. It's militant Islam. Typically, its first victims are other Muslims, but it spares no one. Christians, Jews, Yazidis, Kurds – no creed, no faith, and no ethnic group is beyond its sights. And it's rapidly spreading in every part of the world. You know the famous American saying: "All politics is local"? For the militant Islamists, "All politics is global." Because their ultimate goal is to dominate the world.”

. . . AND WHAT ALSO SEEMS NOT SO LONG AGO TO ME AND LIKELY OTHERS OF MY DINOSAUR GENERATION . . .

“We cannot expect the Americans to jump from capitalism to communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans small doses of socialism, until they suddenly awake to find they have communism.” . . . AND . . . “Your children’s children will live under communism. You Americans are so gullible. No, you won’t accept Communism outright; but we’ll keep feeding you small doses of Socialism until you will finally wake up and find that you already have Communism. We won’t have to fight you; we’ll so weaken your economy, until you fall like overripe fruit into our hands.” —Nikita Khrushchev (1894-1971), Leader of the Soviet Union after death of Marxist/Leninist Joseph Stalin; First Secretary of Communist Party of the Soviet Union (1953-1964); Chairman of the Council of Ministers (1958-1964).

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” ― Ronald Reagan (1911-2004), 40th U.S. President.

“We hold these truths to be self-Evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. —That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying it foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. . . .” —Excerpt from The U.S. Declaration of Independence, 1776.

“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” ― Abraham Lincoln (1909-1865), 16th U.S. President.

2. FBI Chief: “Chinese Hackers Targeting Infrastructure”;

3. Inflation at Historic Highs;

4. State of Main Curbs Guns;

5. CIA Warns: “Deadly Strike Coming to America’s Power Grid”;

15. Biden Marks Earth Day with $7 Billion in Solar Power Grant.


Yes, elections “do” have consequences . . . including those truly life/liberty-devastating and long-lasting!  Especially when brought about and otherwise nurtured by growing numbers of We the People consumed with self-destructive ignorance, apathy, complacency, denial, greed, and counterproductive fear.

“SPEAKING OF BEING OFFENDED!”


As reported in the Carolina Journal, 04/18/2024, a 16-year-old student at Central Davidson High School in Lexington, North Carolina was suspended for three days last week after using the term ‘illegal alien’ during a vocabulary assignment in his English class. Reportedly, the student was assigned vocabulary words, which included the word "alien," and the teenager asked the teacher, "Like space aliens or illegal aliens without green cards?" Another student was reportedly offended and allegedly threatened to fight the student, which caused the teacher to call the assistant principal, resulting in the teenager's words being deemed offensive to Hispanic classmates.

And on a somewhat related note --- on 03/05/2024 our local SE, KS newspaper, the Parsons Sun, chose to publish on “Opinion” Page 4 a “Public Mind” article I submitted, titled “A change-of-heart about tax day.” Wherein, however, the Sun’s staff chose to “change” my original words “illegal aliens” to “illegal immigrants,” as well as "deleting" my reference to U.S. taxpayer funds used for food, clothing, lodging, smartphones, internet service, healthcare, legal services, education, credit card accounts, etc., for illegal aliens.

The above referenced “Special Editing” by the Parsons Sun, and aforementioned “Student Suspension” at Central Davidson High School in Lexington, NC, of course being among a growing number of examples of “selective” free-speech cancelling.

“Censoring actions” taken apparently with little to no concern about the interests of a growing number of other U.S. citizens who are much more than just offended --- by the continued invasion of our country by millions upon millions of “illegal aliens,” from places known and unknown. And by various of our country’s streets, bridges, college/university campuses, government facilities, etc., being disrupted or otherwise plagued by pro-Hamas(terrorist)/anti-Israel/anti-America protests, some of which including chants of “death to Israel,” “death to America,” and disrespectful burning of our American Flag, etc.

As --- and seemingly related in a number of ways to the above examples --- just “being offended” also falls far beyond short of applying to another very deep and justified concern of growing numbers of We the People. That being of the threat posed and underway by the many faces of various “enemies within” who are hell-bent to destroy our precious Constitutional Republic --- the United States of America --- individual liberty’s best and last hope!

STRUGGLING TO FIND SOMETHING TO BRIGHTEN ONE'S DAY???


Well, no need to look further! 

Just, for example, ponder a bit about Joe Biden's (a.k.a. "The Big Guy" of Biden Crime Family) reported vote-pandering plan to spend some $7.4 Billion of our U.S. taxpayer funds to "pay-off" some 277,000 student loans!

Such no doubt especially comforting to those who---much to the contrary--- personally paid-off (or are paying-off) their respective student loans . . . as well as countless others who have likewise accepted personal responsibility for their various debts entailed in their respective gift-of-life journeys.

Yes, elections do have consequences . . . especially fraudulent ones!
