All the gold in the world cannot buy you love or salvation.
It is the belief of this author that there are different pathways to enlightenment and spiritual understanding. The hope is to develop positive connections and relationships.
Let us please remember the Lord's Commandment to love everyone as you would yourself in fellowship.
The Commandment to Love in fellowship is a command; therefore, it is non-negotiable.
This means you do not get to discriminate, especially hate; and hate just because you may not like how the Lord created someone else in color, race or gender which includes gender identity.
Transgender people are part of the Lord's majestic creation and therefore must be respected and loved in fellowship.
The clue to being a true Republican is in this quote:
“...the Republic on which it stands, one Nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all.”
Answer the clue of where this quote originates and you will know what it means to be a true Republican.
Where does the name Republican stem?
Could it have anything to do with "the Republic on which it stands, one Nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all"?
Therefore, what does it mean to be a true Republican?
And does it have anything to do with defending the Republic in which it stands?
Our hearts, minds and souls created by the Lord and determined by our choices which forge our character exist naturally in a positive state or negative state.
Though we face trials and tribulations that cause spikes in negativity, it in these challenging experiences and in the passing tests of character, only fortifies our strengths and eliminates possible weaknesses now surmounted.
It can build character and resolve as well as self confidence and esteem.
In facing these challenges:
When confused and confounded, best to follow the Sage, the wise teacher.
When needing spiritual renewal or healing, connect to the Holy Spirit; humbly and earnestly pray for needs, not wants, in the healing or renewal.
When dealing with failings in sins or problems of character, first confess or identify the issue then repent or address the problem and more importantly atone to root out the sins/issues.
By understanding the level of shame in atonement, what caused the sin to happen in the first place will help to break the cycle of sins and harm.
Thus expelling sins and recognizing failings, allowing for a better and more positive state of existence.
Our thoughts and sympathies go out to the victims’ family impacted so tragically by the terrorists attack.
Now is not the time for blame.
Nor is this a chess game.
Each life is precious and sacred and should not be treated as pawns in an inhumane war.
Now is the time to hold the true culprits responsible and mourn the victims loss.
To answer your question there are two important laws governing securities, the Securities Act of 1933 and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
The goal is to provide accurate and complete financial information.
Violations to securities laws happen when there are material omissions or misrepresentations resulting in incomplete or inaccurate information to investors.
This includes providing the SEC with inaccurate Financial Statements, such as presenting financials that don't reflect the true financial position of a company.
Sarbanes-Oxley Act, SOX, violations include:
Corporate responsibility for financial reports:
Inaccurate Reports – providing false financial reports.
Certification Failure – executives not certifying financial statements.
SOX Criminal Penalties
Those penalties are enhanced for executives who "willfully" certify noncompliant financial reports: they face fines of up to $5 million and up to twenty years imprisonment.
We have a duty to care.
We, as stewards of the earth, have a duty to care for the ark of peoples that encompass our diverse humanity.
Each life is precious, especially the very young.
As we defend our way of life, under threat from the forces of chaos, greed and strife, we need to hold fast to the values which connect us all to the very best of humanity.
We need to be mindful, as we fight to defend our universal human and unalienable rights, that we do not become the monsters we fight and forget our humanity.
In this strategy, the predator thinks that he is preying on his victims.
In actuality, he is getting off on destroying himself, his family, his country and humanity.
How?
Let's take COVID-19 for example.
The terrorist deliberately infects himself by not wearing a mask.
Then he coughs, talks, sneezes his infected breath on everyone he comes in contact with, his family, his friends, his neighbors, his co-workers, the list goes on and on.
First this controversial, inconsiderate, immoral and unholy and unsafe strategy to divide and destroy in order to conquer by traitors, Judases and a certain most unholy foreign adversary, preys upon the predator.
This strategy relies on the predator’s willingness to defy conventional wisdom and truths to intentionally infect as many people as possible.
In some cases delay medical treatment.
This immoral strategy also convinces some victims to not even seek medical treatment at all, causing covid deaths at home.
The main problem- this divide and conquer strategy is deployed at home not abroad at some immoral adversary.
"United we stand, divided we fall.”*
Another prime example is our politics turned “blood” sport.
Politics is no longer a political discourse on policy.
Politics in some political circles is abuse of power incitements into fear, hate and divisions, often upon the most sensitive issues and the most vulnerable.
We have become so divided in politics that some practice insurrection, sedition and treason.
Another example is that our churches have fallen prey to the divide and conquer strategy where scripture is used to radicalize worship of some political leaders as idols and whitewash sins (“forgive and forget”) and bypass redemption.
These are just a few of the examples where the predator thinks he is conquering through division, but in reality he is weakening and destroying lives at home.
Why?
*Founding Father John Dickinson, “Liberty Song”, 1768;
The quote was made famous by Patrick Henry, in his last public speech March of 1799.
Let's review accomplice liability and co-conspirator liability and what it means.
When some is liable that person is legally answerable and considered responsible by law.
An accomplice assists the culprit in the commission of a crime.
The assistance can be intentional or voluntary in some cases failure to prevent the commission of the crime.
In criminal law, an accomplice is criminally liable to the same extent as the principal.
What this means is that if the main culprit is charged for each count of crimes of sexual abuse and hate, then so too will the accomplice for the same.
The difference between accomplice liability and co-conspirator liability:
“Each state's criminal charges will vary.
But typically, if an individual takes an active role in the planning of a crime, they will be charged with conspiracy.
A conspirator agrees with others to commit a future crime, while an accomplice assists, in some way, in the actual commission of a crime.
Furthermore, conspirators can be guilty even if the underlying crime is not committed.”*

Why would a certain wannabe autocrat propose drastic tax cuts of two trillion dollars (for mostly the super rich and big corporations), when those tax cuts he made the first time caused excessively greater deficits?
If corporations, the rich and average citizens do not pay taxes then the United States would go bankrupt.
The only way the United States generates the revenue to invest in infrastructure and other vital programs and support government officials and agencies, such as Defense, Homeland Security, Treasury and Education, is through taxes collected.
Why would having more money to spend on Defense be important?
Now, why would a certain wannabe autocrat want to drive the U.S. towards bankruptcy, thus having less money to allocate towards Defense and Homeland Security?
Why, at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, did a certain wannabe autocrat not approve, when requested, any funding for containment of the contagion?
Why were masks not encouraged to be worn prior to the vaccine rollout?
Why encourage herd immunity?
Especially when science at the time indicated that the coronavirus seemed to be mutating constantly.
You know the wannabe autocrat does not have a medical degree, so why contradict infectious disease doctors, such as Doctor Anthony Fauci?
Why deliberately undermine the work of infectious disease doctors trying to save lives?
And is it normal for health officials including Dr. Fauci to receive death threats for trying to do their job of saving lives and preventing infections?*
Why villainize the doctors protecting the public and trying to save lives?
Why from the very start of COVID-19 hitting the United States was there, by the autocrat wannabe, a constant and deliberate torpedo of public welfare in the contraction science and scientists concerning this contagious disease?
Since the beginning of 2020, do you know how many people have died from COVID-19?
Over 1.2 million people in the States;
And over 7 million people have died worldwide from the pandemic.
Having been told from the beginning and updated by the intelligence community as to the deadly nature of this contagion, why would the wannabe autocrat knowingly and deliberately underplay the dangers of this deadly disease and then further its contagious spread by encouraging herd immunity, not wearing masks, contradicting and threatening doctors and undermining the science?
Why?

Can you see a pattern emerging in the divide and conquer strategy?
Or another far more nefarious strategy to deliberately cause harm and chaos, first play god (decide who gets to be victimized) then play hero, save the day by coming up with the solutions to the problems the autocrat (and the autocrat wannabe) created in the first place (except the latter never gets around to solving anything, he justs move on to creating the next chaos and then talks about how he’s the only one to solve it)?
One example of how to divide is simply to accuse without proof and blame.
For example, the autocrat divides by laying blame at the feet of the “imperial” West.
African countries actually think that this most imperialistic autocrat is actually fighting the bygone imperialism of the West.
The result is the shameful pillage and plunder of African resources by this most imperialistic autocrat.
Some Islamic countries and also the Russian people believe that same spiel and propaganda spun by this imperialistic autocrat.
If this autocrat (and autocrat wannabe), was a true hero then he would spend his time giving back in deeds, not taking in harm and stealing in treasures.
Can you see the patterns?
Why if a certain wannabe autocrat is such a great friend of Israel then why did that someone block their aid package not once but twice?
Who is the benefactor of the terrorist group that surprised attacked Israel?
And who is this benefactor allied with?
And who is the wannabe autocratic enamored with?
Ultimately who is using divide and conquer strategies to wedge a deeper divide between the Muslims and the Jewish?
Who and why?
Why did someone have a meeting with Hungarian prime minister, Viktor OrbΓ‘n, the Russian leaning leader of Hungary?
And why if that same someone is such a friend and leader of the far right, so loyal, leave most of his loyal followers to rot in jail after the January 6th insurrection?
Especially when that so-loyal leader did not leave office until January 20th?
Where was the pardon for them then?
Was those pardons lost and forgotten in the ensuing chaos during his last days in office when he spent most of his time working on and getting his hands on all the Russian Intel the CIA has on Russia in a thick notebook, now missing?*
Where is his loyalty, this so-called leader of the Republican party?
During a primary it is natural for a political party to have several candidates run.
Is it natural for winners of a primary to be a sore “winner” and retaliate against his own party to put up candidates to run in the primary?
Are we to be like Russia where all candidates are token or simply eliminated?
Why would there be any form of retaliation if in a democracy it is natural to have choices when voting in a primary?
So why was there an “absolute bloodbath”, as described by a source at the RNC where the expected cull of about 60 across political, data and communications departments with at least 5 senior staff and more expected including third party contracts?**
Why?

Why would someone not want to give aid to help Ukraine defend against violent aggression?
Especially when this aggression has resulted in genocide of their citizenary and kidnapping of their children in massive crimes against humanity?
And why would this same someone praise and wannabe like the murderous aggressor hell bent on destroying the people of Ukraine?
What is so great about this so-called great autocrat that terrorizes a whole population by first targeting the innocent and soft targets, such as schools, hospitals and hotels?
And how great is a commander in chief that sends young native sons off to war without proper training to get mass slaughtered and leave their bodies behind to not have to pay their pensions?
What kind of commander tries to leave as many men behind?
Why would someone deliberately withhold and kill any aid to Ukraine knowing what we all know of the atrocities there?
Why?
Know at this moment in time, it is not business as usual;
Not politics as usual;
Not the old ways of tribal unity as usual.
No matter how big you think you are or how powerful,
There is a bigger predator preying on just about anyone.
This predator's goal is to give the corrupt what their beasts of greed and desires want.
Feed the beasts of sin and corruption.
Until the predator prey is compromised and weak.
Thus owned and enslaved, his prey trapped becomes his puppets to feed his own great insatiable beast of greed.
This predator is renowned for his ruthlessness and cruelty, the total lack of care or consideration even for the very young and his depraved nature are at levels few can understand or comprehend.
If we fall under his authoritarian thumb, we will not only forfeit our freedoms and rights, our children's freedom and rights, but the freedom and rights of future generations;
and the wealth of our nation meant for our children and their children will go towards feeding his great insatiable beast of greed.
Power is only a selling point.
Know that power subjugated under the whims of compromised and corrupted autocrats is abuse of power.
It becomes the power to take, to steal, to harm in abuses and crimes against humanity to get at what he wants in insatiable desires of greed.
Exploitation is never sustainable.
Therefore, after he has bled dry his country’s resources, seized individual properties and cannibalized remaining businesses, he will turn towards yours and ours and theirs.
And if you object, your life would be forfeit.
Unless you wish to live in such a lawless, careless and cruel country, I humbly suggest that we fight to the last breath for our country, our freedoms and rights and our democracy.
“I have not yet begun to fight,” answered John Paul Jones during a seemingly hopeless battle against the British on September 23, 1779.
He went on of course to capture the faster, newer, more powerful British ship, Serapis and win the battle even as his own ship, Bonhomme Richard sank.
It just goes to show that in the course of battle, one does not know for certain who will win, how history will be written until the end.
Usually, the ones with the most tenacity, bravery, wit, sense of humor and luck will endure, because they have the will and the skill and the fighting spirit to see it through till the end.
P.s.
And I feel as if I should say, “I have just started recently and I have not yet begun to fight.”
Why would a particular someone be peddling autocratic rule?
What is so great about being subjugated under a dictator?
What is so great about having your unalienable rights suppressed, oppressed, repressed and redirected under one man's control?
Especially your unalienable rights, endowed by the Creator, to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?
Who's to tell you how to live your life?
Who's to take your life without conscience or remorse?
Who's to take away your liberty upon a whim, without care or consideration?
Who's to tell you what is your happiness?
What is so great about the truths that are self-evident, that all men are created equal, turned upside down to where no one is equal, not even the serfs that slave under the thumb of a wannbe autocrat gone daft?
What is so great about the endowments granted by the Creator that our unalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, could be overruled by this one ignoramus Judas?
What is so great about colluding with another autocratic dictator, halfway around the world who commits mass atrocities, kidnaps children and targets and kills the most innocent and vulnerable?
Where in all the tear down of our great democratic republic is the gratitude for the freedoms endowed and wealth of opportunities provided which allows for our children to live, grow up safe, protected and prosper in peace?
Where in the world can you say, we lead the world in economic might, technological innovations, breakneck speed breakthroughs in multitude of critical solutions, such as pioneering cures, treatments and vaccines for contagions and disease and the first to find a way (with green solutions) to address and eventually solve the life-threatening and extinction problem of climate change?
Why in the world should we then subjugate ourselves to oppression and repression in an autocratic rule to one man or kowtow ourselves to any hostile adversary foreign or domestic?
Are we slaves or serfs to be subjugated, oppressed and repressed?
Are we victims to thieves that would steal our rights, confiscate our property and take our life on a whim or retaliation?
No, we are none of those.
Who are we?
We are the people of the United States of America.
Would you say a man’s word is his bond, his word of honor?
What about his pledge, his sworn word, the oath of office legally set in the law*?
When a man breaks his word, he cannot be trusted.
When an employee, any employee, of the federal government breaks his oath of office, he should be held accountable.
*
18 U.S.C. 1918 -which provides penalties for violation of oath office.
5 U.S.C. 7311 which explicitly makes it a federal criminal offense (and a violation of oath of office) for anyone employed in the United States Government (including members of Congress) to “advocate the overthrow of our constitutional form of government”.
In a commission of a crime or crimes, an individual is an accomplice (aiding and abetting in complicity), if he or she has a legal duty to act, but did not stop or attempt to stop the crime.
“In criminal law, complicity is the act of helping, encouraging, or soliciting another individual to commit a crime.
Common law refers to this as aiding and abetting.
One who is complicit in committing criminal conduct is an accomplice.
Although an accomplice does not actually commit the crime, their actions help someone in the commission of the crime.
Accomplice liability means an accomplice faces the same criminal liability and culpability as the individual who committed the crime.
The penalties for aiding and abetting depend on the underlying crime.
For example, if the underlying charge is a misdemeanor, the accomplice, along with the primary perpetrator, will be charged with a misdemeanor.
In some cases, an individual is an accomplice if they had a legal duty to act but did not attempt to prevent the commission of an offense.”*

If you build the future upon the quicksands of hate and fear, nothing will rise.
You will drown into despair.
If you build the future upon the sinkholes of the stink holes of temptation and sin, nothing will rise.
You will sink, bonded by chains of sins and abuse into despair.
If you build the future upon nothing but lies and grandiose schemes, nothing will rise.
Nothing will rise, because there is nothing there, but delusions and crimes of fraud crashing down into despair.
If you build the future upon nothing, but pettiness and spite, nothing will rise.
You will shrink, savaged by the desire to hurt and harm, into despair.
If you build the future tripping on power, abusing power, and crossing red lines, nothing will rise.
You will spiral into crimes and greater crimes twisted in a criminal mind, minding nothing but cons and con games, skirting laws and breaking laws, pushing away honor and running away truth, until you are nothing but a shell game spinning into despair.
If you build the future as a lapdog to autocracy, kowtowing like a slave, nothing will rise.
You will be chained to cowardice, bound to dishonor, complicit accomplices to crimes of terror against humanity, corrupting yourself until you are nothing but pathetic puppets strung along, disregarded and discarded at whim.
In that future time, when you are no longer a man, not a person, but a puppeted trophy to be broken, a doormat to be stepped upon, in that future you will be nothing, but corrupted rot knowing only shame and despair.
The building blocks for and of the future depend upon the groundwork laid in the here and now.
If the ground is not paved with good intentions and good deeds, then nothing is sown or paved.
Therefore, the future will always belong to the brave, the builders that will create, work and sacrifice to make the world a better place.
The future will never belong to the destroyers, the liars, the haters that do nothing, but throw stones, tear down democracy and heros, obstruct justice and pervert the truth.
The truth lies in the heart of our conscience, the countenance of our souls.
The truth will out.
And freedom will ring.
Do you have any clue as to what your children's life would be like if that life mirrors that of the children of Russia?
What would it be like?

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
Poem by Wendell Berry
from The Peace of Wild Things
And Other Poems
Let us help those trapped in the trappings of greed, covered under materialistic trinkets of gold.
Free them from their bondage.
Help them be humble.
Help them be kind.
Help them know the sufferings of indifference.
Perhaps then, the bandits will come to know the value of life, the gifts of kindness and the sincerity of tithe.
Public servants serve the people, not the other way around.
Christians serve the Lord and humanity, not power.
I object strongly to power tripping hypocrites claiming to be like the Second Coming of Christ when this idol is full of himself and nothing like Jesus Christ, gentle, wise, loving and kind and would never think to abuse his superpowers or hurt and abuse anyone.
Secondly, Jesus would never be in the power of Caesar arenas (the main reason why Judas betrayed Christ).
I wish people would remember and not forget the virtues of service and true loyalty to the teachings of Jesus Christ, never for power or personal or political gain, for humanity and the Lord.
Finally, selling out to Judas to get what you want, whether it is power or personal gain or some other reason, is to sell out your children's future prosperity and peace and subjugate them and yourselves under autocratic tyranny.
Dear America,
Land of the free,
Will you be struck down
By fear,
By the forces crushing your liberty?
Or will you be crucified
By the powers of greed?
O say can you see?
By the dawn’s early light
Yours and the world's plight?
Can you give proof though the night
That the star spangled banner yet wave-
Still,
In the home of the brave?
Ah the Great Plan
Divide and conquer:
Create chaos
And make great again-
Supermen
Supersight
Supersize
Superpower
Make clear the enemy is
The other side
The other tribe
The other ____
Stop the invasion
Stop the foreigners
Hate them
Fear them
Take back what was lost
Take back ground lost
Take back jobs lost
Take, take, take
Never give up-
The ignorance
Never show weakness-
Empathy or kindness or care
That's out.
What's in?
Ruthless
Destruction
Destroy
Destroy
Destroy
What am I destroying?
Anything in the way.
Anyone in the way.
In the way of what?
The Great Plan
Of making great again
Of taking back what was lost.
Take.
Take.
Take.
Take.
Did I mention take?
Or was it on the take?
I forget.
Great power
Great plan
Great man
Great, great, great!
Pull back the curtain
What do I find?
A great wizard?
A great chess master?
A great genius?
A great puppeteer?
Nope.
I found a great liar.
A great cheat.
A great traitor.
A great thief.
