Respect Their Sacrifice
I have a friend, a real friend that I have come to know in my heart that he is a true man, a loyal warrior. He is a SEAL. We understand each other yet many words don’t need to be spoken between us – those unspoken conversations are already known and understood. We have never met.
America has a team of friends we have never met so many words are unspoken. They are the SEALS. Some of our friends have fallen from us, yet our way of life is richer for they walked with us for a while. They asked for missions no other could undertake and yet never sought a hero’s title or fame. So we know what was in their hearts. These men are by definition like no others we know. Our SEALS took a loss that we can never explain, never realize and never forget.
We must honor and respect the secrets they require and the grief they deserve. The prayers flow freely in their name.
SEALS are the adopted sons of America. We embrace their spirit, loyalty and brotherhood. Those whose lives were lost leave behind an honor we cannot fully explain, that is a station few will ever reach outside a dream.
To our fallen sons, I know you have now passed the golden tree, mounted your shields to the ceiling and have a seat at the table reserved for the chosen at Valhalla.
“But if it be a sin to covet honour, I am the most offending soul alive’ ~ Shakespeare

Shame on Us
Our battleground is our homeland; we are citizen soldiers possessing a duty to defend our home. Americans has a unique identity, a legacy passed on through generations to us by our Founding Fathers. This identity is the ownership of being honest, respectable and free. We are privileged due to two key documents that paved the way to a land and way of life where all things are possible.
So, why do we have a growing misery index? It is submitted that our present condition is a result of apathy, in action and deference to politicians and people within our government. We gave away our authority and checks and balances without as much as a whimper. SHAME ON US
The first reaction here is to offer excuses for the failure of our duty. Did any of the Founding Fathers offer up an excuse for the treason they committed against the King? They anxiously assumed the duty, risks and threats for a single objective….FREEDOM These men had the weight of a citizenry on their shoulders and remained diligent and committed to a way of life and mission that was bigger than themselves.
The Founders did not have the tools and technology we have today, yet, they did have a fire in their belly that today no longer burns. SHAME ON US
We have no excuse for our dereliction of duty. What have you done for America today, this week, this month?
We must teach and we must learn ourselves. We must be pro-active and we must dedicate time and insight for the sake of our family, community and country.
Have you made a phone call today?
Have you learned something today?
Have you recruited today?
Have you established a plan or revised a plan?
Have you taken the time to be current on events domestically and internationally to know the risks and threats to our way of life in America?
Can you list five or more freedoms we have lost in the last year?
SHAME ON US
Have you made a pledge, offer or commitment to others that you have not fulfilled?
It is true people generally keep their distance in political conversations. In the mid 1700’s, there was an estimated population in the thirteen colonies of 2.5 million people. Those people lived a hard life as compared to what assets we have today. Yet, they freely gave time to their churches, their community and country. What are you doing? SHAME ON US
There are countless organizations out there asking for your participation for the sake of preservation and restoration to the Spirit of America. Money is not always required; often it is imagination, communications and skills that are needed. What commitments have you made and achieved?
SHAME ON US
Watchmen of America is a fraternity of dedicated civilian soldiers possessing a fire in their belly to defend our community, preserve our freedoms and restore respect. If we have not worked at this fraternity today and tomorrow…..SHAME ON US
Quote from a letter written by Tho. Jefferson to Horatio G. Spafford , March 17, 1814
“If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and will never be.’
Know Your Enemy, Know Your Risks
Are You Prepared?

There are hundreds of books, videos and websites that will demonstrate how to address these 50 questions and more. Waiting until the last minute will not be prudent. Being self reliant and self serving is having confidence for security and safety. All of this will take time, money and energy, so it is smart to start now. In 6 months time, you should be able to address each of these questions and more with sureness and then you should invite a close confidant to do the same. The government is not in a position to help all of us and it is not smart to rely on anyone else for the safety and security of yourself and your family.
Mexicans in America left Behind Loyalty
Now is the time to re-examine your history and loyalty to your home country. Sure Mexico has had foundational corruption throughout for decades, yet the moment is upon you to reclaim your country.
It is estimated there are up to 40 million Mexicans in America under illegal conditions when measured by the rule of American law. For the sake of argument, let us apply just 4 million to the debate. It is shameful that those 4 million cannot be force multipliers and develop a mission to re-take your home country for the sake of love of country.
Sure the drug cartels have ruled government for years, yet your lack of faith and resolve allows the cartels and corruption to win. Where is your fight, belief, conviction, honor and allegiance?
Mexico has a deep beautiful history; it is a country possessing treasure and resources, that those who have escaped for countless reasons have left behind.
America has shown you the way of life as it could and should be in your home country.
Target key locations to take back and restore education, healthcare, law and commerce. Send a message to Calderon and the cartels. You have the human resources to do this with success. Elections in Mexico are approaching and will Calderon stay or will the cartels manipulate the elections in their favor? Could the entire country of Mexico fall? Look deeply at those countries in the Middle East that are in a revolution due to terror groups and their leaders and governments have failed. Will you allow that in Mexico?
Mexico City years ago hosted the Olympics that set the high standard for all other host cities to follow. Mexico was proud, full of joy and had promise.
You abandoned her now and that is shameful.
Behind the Curtain of the War Stage
Gone are the days of war being fought as depicted in movies like ‘Patton’ or the more recent “Saving Private Ryan’. Occupational forces and ground troops are more likely assigned to patrol duty, holding town councils and passing out candy to children and MRE’s to adults. There is a method used today far removed from historical conflicts, which is to say the current procedure goes as follows:
HUMINT
SIPRNET
IRIDIUM
Intel agencies confab
Dispatch CIA/FBI/Lawyers
Dispatch foreign intel personnel
Compare notes
Choose priorities and targets
Determine mission, success/fail ratio
Determine costs vs. return on investment
Deliver orders for Naval assets to remain close to AO
Confab with foreign intel on who assume assignment parts (NATO)
Get Congressional approval or more recently, side step Congress
Get supplemental war funding or side step and use stash funds or USAID money
Optional UN Resolution approval
Side step War Powers Act
Do not respond to any legislative branch, acquire DoJ cover
Check with International Criminal Court, adjust RoE’s
Determine which is better, ground troops or PMC’s or just payoff the enemy to play nice
Government Elites make personal financial investments in contractors to make some profits on the side. Carlyle Group and Council of Foreign Relations
Call in coordinates for drones or sorties
Check with the Department of Treasury by way of Promis software to determine how much currency can be seized
Create new trade agreements
Funnel currency through 100’s of banks worldwide in nefarious accounts then to the IMF/World Bank/Bank of International Settlements
Embed media and control the message
Draft the associated propaganda with the UNHRC
Determine and deliver the PR campaign
The NSA has the best intel hardware and software in the world by a far measure, yet they have no human resources to process and analyze the data to make predictions, hence January 25 in Cairo and the Arab Spring.
Cyber attacks and Wikileaks are the indicators of the failure of intelligence protections
Who are the pawns? Our dedicated and oath taking people in uniform and the citizens worldwide pay that debt. It is plunder for the sake of Elites. We clearly have enemies worldwide and some very nasty weapons pointed in various directions. The Geospatial system has these pinpointed, so what are we doing? One clear solution is to revisit the Geneva Convention laws as our enemy is not a subscriber. The enemy has found our weaknesses and exploits those limitations. Panetta with his nefarious history is not the point person to do that and frankly, Hillary has broken more than any other Secretary of State in history.
It is time to think out of the box with war strategies as all non-conventional tools must be applied. Political correctness for the sake of the UNHRC and the International Criminal Court is handicapping as is the common solution of monetary payoffs. The leadership of the mid-level military officers must be heard and considered.
