If the truth is what sets us free, what does it mean to live in a society where truth is absent?

The danger to America is not a single politician with ill intent. Or even a group of them. The most dangerous thing any nation faces is a citizenry capable of trusting a liar to lead them.

“Almost all current events in the affairs of governments and nations have their parallels and precedents in the past,” American President Harry Truman wrote, “without an understanding of history, we are doomed to repeat our collective past.” Has any leader’s lies from the past dramatically shaped people’s destiny?

The Nazi’s, who comprised less than 10% of the German population, compelled millions of people to head for gas chambers in a docile manner. 10 MILLION PEOPLE! How did they do THAT? The Nazis were overwhelmingly outnumbered. They could easily have been overpowered. Why didn’t people resist?

The answer is breathtakingly simple. It is a method still being used by some elected leaders to achieve various goals today.

THEY LIED.

Adolf Eichmann, known as “The Master”, set about implementing the “Final Solution” as if he were the president of a multinational corporation. His intricate stories, were designed to ensure the cooperation of the condemned (but unknowing) Jews. Accompanied by an entourage of no more than thirty local men — mostly unarmed -Eichmann would address the crowd in a strong, clear voice.

This is what he said:

“Jews: At last, it can be reported to you that the Russians are advancing on our eastern front. I apologize for the hasty way we brought you into our protection. Unfortunately, there was little time to explain. You have nothing to worry about. We want only the best for you. You will leave here shortly and be sent to very fine places indeed. You will work there, your wives will stay at home, and your children will go to school. You will have wonderful lives. We will all be terrible crowded on the trains, but the journey is short. Men? Please keep your families together and board the railcars in an orderly manner. Quickly now, my friends, we must hurry!”

The Jewish husbands and fathers were relieved by the explanation and comforted by the fact that there weren’t more armed soldiers. Fear of “heinous Russian Communists” had been pounded over the media to the masses for months. Relieved that the authorities were looking out for their best interests, grown, strong men, who could have resisted, instead trustingly helped their families into the rail cars. The containers, designed to transport eight cows, were each packed with a minimum of one hundred human beings and quickly padlocked.

At that moment, they were lost.

“If a nation expects to be ignorant and free,” said Thomas Jefferson, “. . . . The people cannot be safe without information. Where the press is free, and every man able to read, all is safe.”

History shows that any people who are sheep-like in following their leadership (so long as their personal self-interests are satisfied) may one day awaken to find that their nation has changed in dramatic ways.

-Do YOU think lying to get elected is acceptable? Especially when you believe the candidate’s intention is to get elected to do GOOD WORKS?

-Who are the “good guys” and who are the “bad guys”?

-Would truth be a starting point for telling the difference?

-What is our nation’s course? Do you believe that one can determine a probable destination by examining the direction in which we are traveling? Where are we headed?

The only way to know a person who aspires to lead us is to listen to what he says and watch what he does. Frankly, what I think of any current or past leader of the United States is irrelevant. The questions most important to YOU in regard to this subject should be: What criteria do YOU use?

It doesn’t take MANY people to lead a nation in a direction that has serious repercussions on the liberty of OTHERS. Indeed, it has happened, here, in the United States. We have given up liberties for various reasons. WE MAY NEVER GET THEM BACK. And, things could turn even WORSE very rapidly.

Is SOMEONE lying to our country right now?

YOU get to answer that for yourself. My point is that each of us must STOP blindly believing everything someone with an agenda says.

TODAY WITH THE ADVENT OF THE INTERNET’S SEARCH ENGINES, it is simple to verify a politicians voting record, see videos of the politician on youtube to check out the politician’s consistency and whether or not he or she keeps his or her promises.

We MUST do our best to change our country’s direction and to put the best people possible in office. People who will DO what they believe is RIGHT and TRUE.

Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we MUST DO. ~Leonardo DeVinci

Your life, the lives of your children and the lives of your grandchildren may depend upon you demanding THE TRUTH and NOTHING LESS.

PHONE BANKING: NOTHING YOU CAN DO WILL HELP OUR REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES MORE!!!

This is not a fund raiser. It is not pejorative. However it is crucial that Richard Mourdock’s, Jackie Walorski’s and Mike Pence’s supporters man the phones and sort through the data to identify our voters.

It is quick. It is easy. The Victory Centers are air-conditioned. There are drinks and snacks. And you will get to spend time with friendly like-minded people.

Jackie cranking out the calls with her supporters today in Mishawaka. JOIN US!

SEE YOU SATURDAY AND IN THE DAYS LEADING UP TO THE ELECTION!

Some thoughts from Bob Moore…

On May 10, 1940, Winston Churchill became Prime Minister. When he met his Cabinet on May 13 he told them that “I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.” He repeated that phrase later in the day when he asked the House of Commons for a vote of confidence.

“We are in the preliminary stage of one of the greatest battles in history…. That we are in action at many points … and many preparations have to be made here at home.

“I would say to the House as I said to those who have joined this government: I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.

“We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering.

“You ask what is our aim? I can answer in one word: Victory. Victory at all costs and Victory in spite of all terror. Victory, however long and hard the road may be…for without victory there is no SURVIVAL.”

‘Tea Party’ Owns 2012 Elections

Last night, the Texas GOP chose Tea Party-Backed Ted Cruz over David Dewhurst for Senate.  Cruz scored a stunning upset over a longtime Texas state officeholder in a Republican U.S. Senate primary runoff on Tuesday, transforming Cruz into a national conservative star and marking a resurgence of the movement to shrink the size of U.S. government.

Cruz, 41, a former state solicitor general who has never held elected office, became the third insurgent Republican this year to defeat an establishment Republican in a U.S. Senate primary.

He scored a surprisingly comfortable victory with about 56 percent of the vote to about 44 percent for Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, who a year ago was considered the front-runner.

Cruz’s primary victory follows that of Richard Mourdock, the tea party movement-backed candidate who defeated longtime U.S. Sen. Richard Lugar in the Republican primary in Indiana.

Since Mourdock’s primary win, another Republican primary upset victory occured in Nebraska with rancher Deb Fischer, who beat veteran attorney general Jon Bruning in a U.S. Senate primary.

Many have been saying that the ‘tea party’ movement is dead, but the win by Cruz sends a signal to “moderate Republicans” nationwide, according to Ross Baker, an expert on American politics at Rutgers Universityin New Brunswick, New Jersey.

“Make sure your voting record passes muster with the Tea Party, or you’re in big trouble,” said Baker.

Indiana Republican candidates and volunteers will use the space at 1630 South Nappanee for phoning voters and to coordinate door-to-door efforts.

There are ONLY 106 days until the National Election. Won’t you PLEASE lend a hand during this critically important time? The most important thing you can to help our GOP candidates is to join us at the GOP Victory Center (1630 South Nappanee Street, Elkhart, IN) to interact with potential voters on the phone to gather information and to help GET PEOPLE OUT TO VOTE.The great news is our GOP campaign’s state-of-the-art telephones makes calling incredibly easy. But it takes folks like you who will devote even just a couple of hours of your free time to FIGHT for core constitutional values and the future of America. I worked at the Victory Center today for just a little over an hour and made 56 calls. It was fun. I’m planning to spend every free moment I can find to work at the Victory Center.

The center is air conditioned. There are drinks and snacks. It’s an opportunity to interact with other GOP supporters and to make new friends. This is probably the most important election of our lifetime. The cause is SO IMPORTANT. Please don’t expect someone else to carry the load.

For our GOP candidates to WIN, these calls MUST be made. Join your friends and neighbors at the North GOP Victory Center and start making calls right away.

For Indiana & America’s future–HattieBelle

 
Ben Parsons, field coordinator of Stand with Jackie, at the North Victory Center. To help Mike Pence, Richard Mourdock or Jackie Walorski at the Victory Center, please call Ben at 574-612-8725 or e-mail him at elkhartvictorycenter@gmail.com.
