LAW OF THE JUNGLE

 Anyone who has viewed nature shows on their tv, phones, or tablets, know that there are predators and prey in any jungle.  Most of us know the advantages of one and the disadvantages of the other.  Given a choice, I would prefer not to become prey.  Using the jungle as a learning tool, it is evident that the main differential between prey and predator is strength of the predator and the perceived weakness of the prey.  In the jungle it is not always one against one.  Smaller predators band together to attack, and they attack the weakest member of the prey group.  That weakness can be due to a plethora of causes and is easily perceived by the predatory individual or pack.  The result is the weak don’t eat, they are eaten.  For the most part, the jungle inhabitants are well aware of their placement on the food chain as well as who or what is intent on using them for fodder.

The law is certain. If you appear weakened you will be prey. If you appear weakened you will be attacked.

If you are weak you will become food.

Like it or not, we humans are part of the animal kingdom and our specific countries exist in a worldwide jungle.  Strength matters.  Weakness invites attack.  The difference between predator and prey depends on perception.

The perception:  The United States of America has been perceived as one of the World’s strongest countries.  If not feared it has at least been respected as such.  We have been attacked on our own soil and we terminated those responsible.  Our strength has been made evident as fact to the rest of the World’s inhabitants. 

Our society has conflicted purpose in our quest to stay non-prey and still be above the rest of the human race in terms of the kindness factor.  We are seeing the result of waging a war without the intent of winning.  We have been in the Afghan conflict for twenty years simply because our rules of engagement removed our teeth.  We gave the predators the perception of a Lion with no teeth but still strong enough to fear.  This is true until we allowed the appearance of our strength to deteriorate.  Our point of actual weakness, that of internal sickness, has given packs of predators the invitation to test our strength and our resolve.  We have allowed: our educational system to infect our children; our politicians to play for their party rather than for our country; The unraveling of unity into tribal groups; the weakening of law and order; the loss of our news outlets as points of truth in favor of being a indoctrination device; and the failure of our method of choosing leaders.  The appearance of the ailing, sick Lion with no teeth invited the larger predators to start circling preparing for an eventual meal of Lion.

Is the final scent of weakness the fact that the smaller pack of predators were able to nip and attack the Lion?

Or is it the loss of principle in the abdication of responsibility toward our friends and allies?

PRAY THAT OUR CURRENT APPEARANCE OF WEAKNESS IS NOT PROPHETIC OF OUR BECOMING INTERNATIONAL PREY

CREATE DEPENDENCY... CREATE RESPONSIBILITY

 One fact that we are experiencing today is the creation of dependency is not really a good thing.  Many instances of that condition lack the understated necessity of benign responsibility.  We can see the affect of dependency and    the results of stepping away from responsibility.  Dependency has always carried with it the stigma of weakness and the creation of it has given power of control to the giver.  We can look to history for so many examples.  One example closest to our home of the United States is that of Cuba.  Socialism in its promises to provide for its society, its people, has created a nation of need. Needs unmet, by those who promised that nation a better life.

At today’s point in history The U.S. society watches the abdication of responsibility in a nation that dependency has been born.

As we watch the re-emergence of Taliban control in the country of Afghanistan, many of us blame the lack of resolve within the Afghan military forces.  Many in our country take the point of view that what happens to that society is their own problem if they refuse to stand for their own country.  Our  U.S. forces have been in that country for twenty years, we have spent billions of taxpayer dollars, we have lost more than two thousand American lives and so many more body parts in that period of time.  One of the facts that is oft unmentioned is the cost to the Afghanistan’s population.  They have contributed some sixty thousand plus souls fighting for their country and their new government, some estimated thirty to sixty thousand people remaining who have translated for our troops and fought alongside our troops in that conflict.  Our government took the political position of no further responsibility.  We provided their forces with the weaponry needed by their three hundred thousand personnel, which we trained, to fight for their country.  Those forces disbanded almost immediately. 

The dependency that we created in that military force through support of Intel, air support and advice carried with it a responsibility.  Our government did not see that responsibility.  Nor did it see or at least accept the responsibility to our own nation.

The Cost of INCOMPENTENCE

It’s hard to imagine the degree of fault we, the voting population, share in the loss of lives that is sure to follow our escape from Afghanistan.  We are the society that allowed our minds to be indoctrinated.  We refused to look at factual result in favor of thinking we were better than those other Neanderthals.  At this point in time we have to face the fact that we hired a “Commander in Chief” who reeks of ineptness.  Our mistaken pride in who we elected has proven itself to be a giant error.

It seems bad enough that we are in the middle of so many battles internally we now have exacerbated problems internationally as well.  We have an administration making decisions for the rest of us that will affect our country’s safety and our standing among even our staunchest allies.  If our country will not stand for those who have fought along- side our forces, in a twenty year conflict, whoever is to believe that we will stand for them.

The cost of this incompetence will be born in The United States in the form of shame.  Not just shame in the appearance of defeat but in the justified blame for the harm and bloodshed of those Afghanis we left behind.   The administration was well aware of the some thirty to eighty thousand Afghans who worked with our allies and our own forces during the last twenty years.  Without any provisions for those who would be targeted by the Taliban, it was decided to escape the country in the middle of the night.  There is so much wrong with that picture.  That shameful image is spread across the face of our nation.  How proud of that can we be.

I WILL... part one of Pres hopeful

I WILL...   part one of many to come

BE A UNITER: Interesting Mr. Biden, you have shown nothing more than lip-service in this regard.  By allowing the discourse trying to deny President Trump his constitutional duty, of ensuring the validity of our election process and results, does not give a feeling of unity to the 70 million citizens who voted for the current President.

MOVE OUR COUNTRY TOWARD A CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE: So far it seems that Mr. Bidens' process will result in the loss of millions of jobs; increase the cost of food transportation which will be transferred to our population; increase the cost of electricity affecting millions of businesses and households nationwide.

SAFELY REOPEN SCHOOLS: This is a time-sensitive situation but Mr.Biden's proposals include a complete revamping of the structure of the buildings that house the students and teachers.  In the time required our children will be educationally, psychologically, and physically deprived. Parents who have jobs and younger children will find it difficult if not impossible to be available to both.   

I WILL REJOIN THE  W.H.O.: This is the same organization that failed to report the danger and the source of the Covid-19 virus.  That failure internationally is responsible for the spread of the virus. 

I WILL RE-COMMIT AND RE-JOIN THE PARIS CLIMATE ACCORD: This will put the responsibility of paying for the disparity in reduction directly on our nation while allowing the major contributors to the excess contamination of our planet.

I WILL TAKE CARE OF DACA: My question about this Mr. Biden is that you had multiple years to help correct this problem and yet you accomplished nothing.  What makes you think you can make we the people think you will do any better should you get elected.

I WILL CEASE BUILDING THE WALL BETWEEN MEXICO AND THE UNITED STATES: Good thinking Mr. Biden... return to the ability of innumerable unknown entities, enemies of our country, illicit drug cartel members, drugs and weapons to freely enter our country. We have seen the effects of that before. 

PRIORITIZE THE "EQUALITY ACT": This sounds like a really good thing until you realize its actual effect.  The impact of this prioritization allows for those who have had sex-change operations to use restrooms and shower areas of a sex they were not born with; it promotes the sex-education of children as young as the age of six; it would dis-allow the denial of abortions by those medical institutions with religious objections.

BEAT THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC: We all want to see this pandemic come to an end, but at what expense.  The proposed actions of another shut-down will affect every aspect of American life experience.  The cost of shut down is found in not only the economic disaster but also is detrimental in the emotional, psychological, educational stability of our citizenry.

GIVE EVERY AMERICAN AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE:  We have been here before.  This is another move toward socialized medicine which, will in fact, cost thousands of jobs; take very good to excellent insurance coverage away from approximately 70-80 million people in our working force.

RECOVER JOBS AND ECONOMIC GAINS FOR THE WORKING CLASS: This probably means cow-towing to the unions again.  While the Trump administration saw gains in earnings rise faster in the lower and middle classes than in the management layers.  The previous administration of Obama/Biden actually hurt middle class earning levels
