Letter to My Family & Friends After Our 2008 Historical Election

What follows is a letter that I sent to my family and friends, shortly after our 2008 historical election:

November 10, 2008

Dear Family and Friends:

I would like to once again extend my sincere thanks for being so understanding and extremely patient with me, as I struggled to get some factual, fair and balanced answers to my numerous unanswered questions, as a means of educating myself prior to casting my vote during this historical Presidential election.

As always, I freely shared my concerns with all of you, as a means of getting your trustworthy and, much appreciated, fair and balanced feedback with no underlying intention, on my part, of attempting to sway any of you to agree with me on this or any other issues and/or concerns of mine.

Just as important to me, is the fact that we can continue to share our concerns with each other, without concerning ourselves about taking each other’s questions and/or issues personal, and, therefore, it turned out to once turn into a very positive and healthy experience for all of us, as a family, friends and, most important, as American Citizens.

As you already know, a month ago when I began my research and/or investigation process into each candidates background, I initialing used the Main Stream Media’s (MSM) news coverage to assist me in completing this task in short order, but soon discovered that the information I was getting from them was biased and, therefore, an unreliable resource so I kicked off my own more intense research by using the Internet to assist me in accomplishing it.

Although, the process was more time consuming, it proved to be an, extremely, more reliable process, to include the fact that it was more educational because, I had more reliable resources available to me, which I could use to confirm the validity of my information on each candidate. (Results of my research attached.)

I found the MSM’s actions to be most despicable because, many Americans either don’t take the time or don’t have the time and/or resources to conduct their own research, as a means of educating themselves prior to this and, for that matter, any previous or future elections. And, therefore are, sadly, forced to rely solely on the integrity of our MSM to do it for them, not knowing that what they get from our MSM may not be factual, along with it being unfair and/or biased.

CASE AND POINT:

Please Refer To: “Pollsters Inflated Sen. Obama’s Lead?. Almost every major pollster, to include theMSM, had egg on its face after the election because most predicted a double-digit win for Sen. Obama. Only two pollsters were accurate. Critics say that the inflated numbers helped Sen. Obama by reducing enthusiasm and support:

http://www.newsmax.com/headlines/polls_inflated_obama_lead/2008/11/05/147971.html?s=al&promo_code=7059-1

The negative experience that I had with the MSM due to their blatantly biased information caused me to loose all faith and confidence in them as a reliable resource due to their actions, which I found to be deplorable.

Actions, that I, as an American Citizen, would expect from a news agency located in a Third World Country, where they, in many instances, are owned and governed by their ruling tyrant leader (dictator), where the people have no freedom of speech rights and are, therefore, forced to blindly accept their biased news coverage as gospel, without the opportunity to question the validity of that information.

Lest us, as American Citizens, never forget that we owe our Thanks to Our God and Our Brave and Courageous Young Americans (men & women) in uniform, as members of today’s volunteer and elite Armed Forces, who continue to, like those before them, honorably and selflessly serve their country, which in many cases includes making the ultimate sacrifice, as a means of upholding our FREEDOM.

A FREEDOM that we, in a Democratic Society, enjoy the fruits of, but which, sadly, some take for granted, to include some of our elected officials. A Democratic Society that our country has historically been helping other countries around the world to adopt (e.g., Iraq, Afghanistan, Georgia, etc.), at any cost.

These brave young Americans have historically been called upon, by some of those same elected officials, to travel abroad to other countries around the world, without enjoying the company of their loved ones, that are, subsequently, left behind to fend for themselves, for extended periods of time.

The reality today is that, due to our two ongoing volatile wars, growing global tensions and terrorist threats, here at home and abroad, the average turn-around-time for the majority of these young Americans is no less than every 12-18 months and at times less, which means that they have been serving 2-4 (12-18 month) tours in a combat zone since the wars began.

Experience has shown us, specially, during the course of the Viet Nam War, that, if this trend continues over an extended period of time, it, undoubtedly, takes a toll on these individual’s mental health and/or capacity due to their combat acquired Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

Additionally, for over 50% of them, these ongoing combat experiences, eventually, results in them, tragically, loosing their loved ones through divorce, due to their erratic behavior caused by their deteriorating PTSD condition.

This is, extremely, ironic because, the majority of them, volunteered to join the Armed Forces, not only, to honorably serve their country, but, more important, to support those loved ones, whom they have ended up loosing in the process.

And, even more tragic, is that many of them, whose numbers continue to multiply on a daily basis, end up homeless, due to their ongoing PTSD issues, coupled with the loss of their loved ones, and, in most cases, this includes their perceived lose of God, country and friends.

This, again, was proven to be a “critically important support system” during the course of the Viet Nam War.

Note: Many young Americans in uniform, upon returning home from the War in Viet Nam, to include others like myself who volunteered to fight in the War, but, for what ever reason, never set foot on Viet Nam, were spit on, called baby killers, refused service at some public establishments and threatened with our own lives by individuals and/or groups, the likes of Bill Ayers and his cronies, who were blaming us for the War, and, as a result, we were ordered by our base commanders to go low profile and not wear our uniforms when traveling off our home bases, thereby not attracting attention to ourselves. I found this to be deplorable because, we were serving our Country, which we had given our oath to defend and, literally, had nothing to do with the politics of starting and/or continuing the War.

And to add insult to injury, when President Elect Obama, was an Illinois Senator he had the VA initiate an IG investigation in 2005 into the possible fraud of VA Service-Connected Disability Compensation Benefits by those Veteran’s that were receiving 100% Individual Unemployability (IU)benefits due to their Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

These Veterans were the most vulnerable due to their PTSD condition, and had worked for many years (approx. 30 years) to get those benefits granted by the VA.  And, as a result one of my very close Viet Nam Veteran Comrade and dear friend, who was a Purple Heart recipient, ended up committing suicide in October of 2005 because, he was concerned that his benefits would be taken away from him and, subsequently, his spouse.

Although, these poor souls survive their brush with combat, many return home and, eventually, begin self-medicating with alcohol and/or drugs, as a means of dealing with their deteriorating PTSD conditions, which, over time, becomes extremely unbearable, especially, without their critical support systems and, as a result, many end up committing suicide to put an end to their miseries.

Note: My, approximately, sixty-two (62) years of hands on eye-opening experiences with both men and women in uniform and Veterans came from serving my country honorably for twenty (20) years, as a Marine Corps Mustang (served as an Enlisted and a Commissioned Officer), my father’s, approximately, forty (40) year battle with his PTSD symptoms, as a result of his military service during WWII, and my four (4) year tenure as a State Veterans Service Officer.

I served in the Marine Corps during the course of the entire Viet Nam War (1964-1984), where I lost many of my close young American friends, and my post-military retirement experiences as a State Veterans’ Service Officer, where I continued to loose some of my close Viet Nam Veteran friends due to suicide, to include my own father, who survived the Battle of The Bulge during WWII, but lost his own battle with PTSD at the young age of fifty-nine (59), due to his approximately forty (40) years of self-medicating with alcohol, like many of his WWII Veteran friends.

In 2006, I also was diagnosed as suffering from PTSD, which gives me some insight into what these young Americans returning home from combat are dealing with and was able to best assist them to deal with their symptoms during my four (4) years as a State Veterans’ Service Officer, a position which I, to this day, believe was one of my most rewarding and self satisfying positions that I’ve served in during my approximately forty-four (44) year professional career.

Finally, regardless of all my exhausting work, along with your help to conduct my research and/or investigation, I continue to have some concerns due to my numerous unanswered questions, which I will probably continue to have until the day that I am proven to be wrong on each and every one of my issues, but I assure members of my family and friends, that I will keep my faith, and an open mind by continuing to hope and pray that my concerns, in time, are proven to be unfounded and without merit.

CASE AND POINT:

Results of My Month Long Research and/or Investigation Into Our Now Presidential Elect Obama’s Personal and Career Background Completed On November 3, 2008 (Two Days Prior To The Election):

The following are only two of my numerous unanswered questions, which I find extremely disturbing about our President Elect:

Also, rest assured that I also will not allow my concerns to keep me from aligning myself behind our newly elected President, as I have in the past, unless or until my concerns are proven to have merit. All my life I’ve worked at being a positive individual, who tries to be part of the solution and not part of the problem, regardless of what the issue(s) may be, but I also thrive and demand transparent leaders and factual information to base my analytical decisions on before I get involved with being part of the solution.

As you all know by now, and, more than likely, much to the dismay of some of you, I have, consciously, in the past and, with God’s will, plan to continue in the future, to take on and, at times, get addicted in the sometimes arduous and challenging task of bringing to light some issues that I believe to be extremely important.

Not necessarily for the good of my own future because, it is not all about me, but, more important, for that of my loved ones, especially those that are still too young to comprehend the gravity of today’s issues.

Because, they will, undoubtedly, be the ones that, ultimately, will inherit and, like it or not, be forced to bare and deal with the consequences of our own decisions and those of our politicians, be they good or bad.

I also hope and pray that these same young members of our family learn from my own experiences and, that is, how extremely important it is for them NOT to take their God given right to VOTE lightly by not taking the necessary time to educate themselves prior to casting their vote.

And, thus, voting blindly not knowing everything there possibly is to know about their candidate’s personal and/or career backgrounds, as a means of determining who they are, where they came from and, most important, what they stand for.

Bottom Line: I hope and pray that members of our family and friends can now understand and appreciate the reason for me dedicating so much time (24/7) to my research project.

A project that I took very serious and, at its conclusion, discovered that it was, not only, healthy for me because it kept me from growing cob webs in my brain housing group, which, according to today’s gurus, is a must for some of us aging buzzards, but  it also proved to be an eye-opening and unforgettable educational experience, which I believe prepared me for when it came to casting my vote.

Sorry for my, extremely, long-winded stump speech and/or lecture. I already feel better now that I got this off my chest, even though, as always, all of you had to endure the brunt of it. Guess you can say that the time spent conjuring this email (on and off for almost a week) can be considered as part of my, much needed and healthy, with-drawl process, that resulted from this exhaustingly long Presidential election process.

Thanks Again For Your Unconditional Love, The Same Love That I’ve Had For My GOD, My Family, Friends And My Country And, Just As Important, For Your Enduring Patience With Me.

Have A Great Day & Week, As We Celebrate Our Marine Corps’ 233rd Birthday (11/10/08) and Veterans’ Day (11/11/08).

May God Bless & Keep You & Your Loved Ones.

Love You All.

As Always.

Att: Results of My Month Long Research and/or Investigation Into Our Now President Elect Obama’s Personal and Career Background Completed On November 3, 2008 (Two Days Prior To The Election):

Summary:

Sen. Obama comes across as being an extremely intelligent, high spirited, eloquent and charismatic Leader and/or speaker, who promised the American people everything under the sun during his Presidential Election Campaign, which, on the surface, seems to be all encompassing, and, convincingly, what we are currently starving for in this country.

But I also find his promises to be impractical and unachievable considering our current financial economic crisis, which I also find as being very suspicious because of the timing (e.g., just before we prepared to elect of next President, etc.), our two ongoing volatile wars, growing tensions around the globe, along with the elevated ongoing terrorist threats here at home and abroad.

Additionally, my intuition, along with the combination of his lack of executive experience, seemingly shady background, elusiveness, evasiveness and deception, have all, to this date, led me to have some concerns about him as our next President.

That being said, the following are only two of my numerous unanswered questions, which I find extremely disturbing about our President Elect:

#1: Have The Soviet’s KGB Brainwashed Americans and, If The Answer Is YES, Why?

What Does That Have To Do With The Current Iraq and Afghanistan Wars, Our Current Financial Crisis and, More Important, Our Historical Presidential Election?

In 1985, During An Interview With G. Edward Griffin, Yuri Bezmenov, A Former Soviet KGB Operative, Who Defected To The US In 1968, Explains The Soviet’s Strategy For The Subversion of The USA and Canada.

He Also States That This Subversion Process Has Been In Place Here In The US For The Last 25 Years and Is Being Carried Out In Four Distinctive Stages, which Are: Demoralization, Destabilization,Crisis, and Normalization.”

Obama’s Challenge: The Campaign Speaks To “Radicalism.”: Published on National Review Online (NRO):By Stanley Kurtz-Posted On September 23, 2008:

http://xn--obamas%20challengethe%20campaign%20speaks%20to%20radicalism-4f44amf.xn--ivg/

Excerpt From This Article:

“The Chicago Annenberg Challenge stands as Barack Obama’s most important executive experience to date. By its own account, CAC was a largely a failure.

And a series of critical evaluations point to reasons for that failure, including a poor strategy, to which the foundation over-committed in 1995, and over-reliance on community organizers with insufficient education expertise. The failure of CAC thus raises entirely legitimate questions, both about Obama’s competence, his alliances with radical community organizers, and about Ayers’s continuing influence over CAC and its board, headed by Obama.

Above all, by continuing to fund Ayers’s personal projects, and those of his political-educational allies, Obama was lending moral and material support to Ayers’s profoundly radical efforts. Ayers’s terrorist history aside that makes the Ayers-Obama relationship a perfectly legitimate issue in this campaign.”

Question: Taking Into Account Everything That We Are Currently Experiencing Here In The US (e.g., Iraq and Afghanistan Wars, Financial Crisis, Global Terrorist Historical, Growing Tensions Here At Home and Abroad and our Historical Presidential Election, etc.),

What Stage Of Subversion Do You Think The USA Is In TODAY (Demoralization, Destabilization, Crisis, and Normalization)?

#2: Is Sen. Obama A Legal or Naturalized Citizen of the United States of America?

To Date, there Are Still Some Pending Law Suits That Have Been Filed Around The Country, To Include Hawaii, Accusing Sen. Obama of Defrauding The American People By Denying Access To The Original Copy of His Typewritten 1961 Birth Certificate (e.g., Original (Vault) Birth Certificate With The State of Hawaii’s Official Seal, etc.), Which, To Date, He Has Refused To Provide.

AP Posted An Article on Oct. 31, 2008, Four Days Prior To The Election And Exactly One Week After Sen. Obama Returned From His Suspicious Trip To Hawaii, Stating That Hawaii State Officials Are Now Confirming That They Have His Original BC and That He Was In Fact Born In Hawaii.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081031/ap_on_el_pr/ob …

In My Opinion, This Article Still Does Not Answer My Question Because, His Half Sister, Who Was Born In Indonesia, Also Has A Birth Certificate Issued By The State of Hawaii.

Bottom Line: If my concerns are proven to have MERIT, which, tragically, the American people may not even find out about until after President Elect Obama takes office and governs our country for the next four years, all I can hope and pray for, this late in the game, is that my concerns are unfounded, but if they are not:

“Good Bless Our United (Not Divided) States of America.”
