For many Americans, Memorial Day is just a 3-day weekend, while others despise the remembrance. Patriots honor those who died to secure our freedom. A heroic warrior General George S. Patton saw life and death on the battlefield differently. Patton said, "It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God such men lived."
Indeed, in order to have people die for the right causes, they must first have embraced right principles to live for them. Today, our sacred values have been successfully undermined by government schools, churches and the socialist left.
America is experiencing a bloodless Communist takeover. The coup is confronting citizens like a bully confronts cowardly school kids. Most citizens are compliant preserving their pocketbooks over principles.
The recent 16-month Covid lockdown here delivered a stunning humiliation. The theft of freedoms with no resistance held up a mirror so people could see their pitiful selves. Many endeavored to proudly cover their capitulation like a child with soiled pants posing like all is well but for the odor.
The Covid hoax and illness were conjured-up years ago and created in Wuhan, China virology labs. The illegal gain-of-function experiments to harm humans were funded by our tax dollars courtesy of Barack Obama and Tony Fauci.
The Global Reset cult members are laughing out loud. And they are wowed watching what spineless suckers Americans had become. The U.S. was to be the world’s primary resisters to the plot. Instead, they became its biggest advocates even sacrificing their children. Now, they submissively live off the table sweepings of the rich power brokers.
A Covid protest placard read, “If you ever wondered how you would have responded in Nazi Germany, now you know.” The White Rose Nazi resistance movement’s third pamphlet includes an eerie excerpt, “Our current ‘state’ is the dictatorship of evil. We know that already, I hear you object, and we don’t need you to reproach us for it yet again. But, I ask you, if you know that, then why don’t you act? Why do you tolerate these rulers gradually robbing you, in public and in private, of one right after another, until one day nothing, absolutely nothing, remains but the machinery of the state, under the command of criminals and drunkards?”
The White Rose was a small but powerful German student-led mission. At its core were siblings Hans and Sophie Scholl, their fellow students Alexander Schmorell, Willi Graf, Christoph Probst, and a professor of philosophy and musicology at the University of Munich, Kurt Huber. Together they published and distributed six pamphlets, first typed, then multiplied via mimeograph.
The irony is that they began as members of the socialist Hitler youth movement. The Scholls, being raised in a Christian home, eventually recognized the evil as the Nazis invaded Poland. Sophie was training to be a teacher and Hans a doctor. Their lives however were taken hostage by the times for a higher calling. Their student activism distributing leaflets nationwide tormented the Nazi machine.
The White Rose sought to awaken a nation asleep and paralyzed to the evil around them. Sophie writes, “The real damage is done by those millions who want to ‘survive.’ The honest men who just want to be left in peace. Those who don’t want their little lives disturbed by anything bigger than themselves. Those with no sides and no causes. Those who won’t take measure of their own strength, for fear of antagonizing their own weakness. Those who don’t like to make waves—or enemies. Those for whom freedom, honour, truth, and principles are only literature. Those who live small, mate small, die small. It’s the reductionist approach to life: if you keep it small, you’ll keep it under control. If you don’t make any noise, the bogeyman won’t find you. But it’s all an illusion, because they die too, those people who roll up their spirits into tiny little balls so as to be safe. Safe?! From what? Life is always on the edge of death; narrow streets lead to the same place as wide avenues, and a little candle burns itself out just like a flaming torch does. I choose my own way to burn.”
Sophie Scholl, Hans Scholl, and Christoph Probst were executed by guillotine on February 22, 1943 for treason. After their half-day trial and death sentence Sophie wrote on the back her indictment, “Freiheit” or freedom.
