FACT

Fear
Acquiescence
Control
Tyranny

It's a fact. Fear is the best weapon for the 1% Elites in society to create and maintain tyranny over everyone else.

They used fear of the Wrath of God in Medieval times, to keep the peasants compliant, while the 1% Elites enjoyed the spoils of the peasants' labors.

They used fear of Witchcraft / Satan to steal people's property during the Salem Witch Trials.

Kudos to Presidents Bush (43), Obama (44), Trump (45), and Biden (46), for Mission Accomplished! With honorable mention to President Reagan (40) for arming the mujahideen (including Osama bin Laden) in Afghanistan, because, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Some of us will never forget.

You have the timepiece. We have the time.

Nathan Hale Homestead - Photograph

I took this photograph of the Nathan Hale Homestead in Coventry, CT recently.

Captain Nathan Hale was caught and hanged as a spy at age 21 by the British in New York in September of 1776. He is famous for his alleged last words: "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country."

We live in an era of words with watered down meanings. Politicians use the word "Patriot" (one who loves, supports, and defends one's country) to describe people in circumstances that have nothing to do with the definition of the word.

Nathan Hale was a Patriot. He would be appalled at the surveillance state his country has now become.
