Where Does Your Rubber Meet the Road?

 

Time for a little self-reflection, long haul truckers and bikers know it’s important to keep the shiny side up and the rubber side down. Bikers say it’s the journey not the destination and truckers deliver the goods. There is a lot more than meets the eye and all too often we are just too busy to stop and smell the roses (Thanks Mac Davis).

 

Football players know to get that pigskin across the goal because winning is everything as they seek that trophy and the coveted Super Bowl ring. It takes lots of practice to hone the skills and develop the stamina needed to make it, yet not everyone does. There are winners and losers in every game.

 

Students know a diploma or certificate is their goal at every level from kindergarten to graduate or trade school. Every test measures their level of understanding against themselves and their peers.

 

Emergency medical technicians and other first responders know their actions so often determine the outcome in the struggle for life over death. It is never just a routine stop or call for law enforcement, being prepared for the unexpected is always necessary.

 

Soldiers know that freedom is never free. They lay their lives on the line at home or abroad and on the field of battle to accomplish the mission so they can return to family and friends.

 

Parents know that family is important and every child is a gift from almighty God, the creator of life. Their hopes and dreams become our hope for a brighter future. May they learn from the mistakes of the past and press on toward the high calling that God has placed on their lives. Every soul is important to God and every life matters.

 

As you travel the highway of life remember that every job is important. Every task is to be done right. Every step is a step forward. Never travel back over the road to regret. There are no second chances to make a first impression and that water under the bridge washes into a gateway of possibilities for someone else. What is important to you? Where does your rubber meet the road? – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Forgotten Soldiers

Forgotten Soldiers

 

It was August 2013 after joining a Vietnam Veterans forum online that I wrote an article explaining the plight American military personnel stationed in Thailand during the Vietnam War came face to face with after the war and in the years since. I entitled the article “The Insignificant and Unknown of the Vietnam War”. Needless to say someone took offense to my article and went so far as to accuse me of stolen valor by calling me a wannabe and I should be ashamed of wearing the ribbons. For those who were there and those who read the hit job on me it was just a tip of the iceberg. I didn’t write something to elicit empathy, sympathy or a kind warm fuzzy by someone reading the article. So let me delve into that pit one more time and hopefully calmer heads will prevail.

 

America went to war in the “Second Indochina Conflict” or dubbed by the Vietnamese as “The American War” we called it the “Vietnam War”. Like many of my brothers and sisters in arms who answered the call we went, we served and we came home to a country that had completely changed. Many can relate to what happened after 9/11 or more recently after COVID-19 as the country headed into a new era.

 

Back in the 60s and 70s we came home to hippies, drugs and wild orgies sweeping across America. Many of us missed being part of that, but came home to an “in-your-face” hostile environment. We were verbally assaulted, spit on. Instead of returning as conquering heroes for doing our duty for our country, we were made to feel like second class citizens.

 

For Thailand Veterans of the Vietnam War we had another battle altogether. We were truly the insignificant and unknown participants of the Vietnam War. Many in country Vietnam veterans only knew of Bangkok when they went on R & R. Had they been stationed in Thailand they would have seen a totally different side of the war. For us there was no R & R. We were there for a 12 month tour (same as in Vietnam) and we were hard charging all the time 24/7/365. Most of us were the support troops doing paperwork, shuffling forms, processing payrolls and conducting personnel actions for everyone in our individual units, including the flight crews flying combat missions out of Royal Thai Air Force Bases, across the fence and into the skies over Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.

 

Some of us traversed unknown territory over primitive unfinished roadways hauling ammunition, explosive devices (bombs), beer, sodas, toilet paper, construction supplies and refrigerated products out of cold storage warehouses. If it was requested through the supply system we delivered it.

 

We conducted military training for mechanics, truck drivers and aircraft pilots for Royal Thai and Laotian personnel so they too could join in the fight against communism. Every job mattered and none were too small or too large. Many of us extended our 12 month tour as a way of insuring that supplies would continue to be delivered in spite of unit being constantly understrength. I served in Thailand from February 1968 until July 1970 then went back home and into a culture I did not know or enjoy.

 

I didn’t plan on a life in the military but I chose to return to active duty and what I found was the acceptance of my Thailand service by my fellow soldiers was completely lacking. As the drawdown of military forces in Southeast Asia was in full swing in the early 1970s I soon found myself in units being reactivated after combat tours in Vietnam. Some of the personnel were Vietnam veterans while others were fresh out of advanced training.

 

During a uniform inspection I was chastised for not wearing a combat patch on my dress uniform with my Vietnam ribbons. That was when I began to see a dividing line between those who were in country and those who were not. I hate to break it to them but I was in country, just not Vietnam. I soon learned not to talk about my Thailand service unless it was with someone who had been there and done that and had the shirt.

 

Later in my career my unit was preparing for an impending military action into a country I had been stationed in after Thailand. I was told that because I had no combat experience I would be entrusted with unit personnel who were not being deployed. It’s even possible that lack of combat experience affected my promotions.

 

You see in the military it’s not so much about location as it is about the job. Everyone is trained to be an infantryman first and a specialist second. A support becomes a combat support and functioning regardless of the environment is as important as shooting a weapon and taking up a defensive position.

 

After more than 22 years of active duty in countries around the globe doing what must be done to accomplish the mission having someone who spent maybe 3 years in the military with 12 months of combat experience chastise me for putting on my uniform or wearing my authorized awards and decorations does not phase me.

 

It’s hard to believe that I’ve been retired longer than I was on active duty and I’m still fighting this battle, but this time it’s a battle with my own government. It seems that while in Southeast Asia in the 1960s and 1970s exposed me to various herbicides which began to noticeably attack my body several years after leaving active duty. Over time it became more apparent and so much so that I began having medical issues attributed to herbicide exposure. My battle is for the VA to recognize my exposure for treatment and compensation. The VA says that because I didn’t have “boots-on-the-ground” in Vietnam I must prove I had duty “at or near the perimeter” of a military base and I must also show proof that I was exposed to herbicides and at a specific base.

 

Sometimes I feel that us Forgotten Soldiers are supposed to lie down, shut up and simply fade away! – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Case of Mistaken Identity

Case of Mistaken Identity

 

I thought it appropriate to start off the new month of May with stories of mistaken identity. People have a tendency to look at you and say you look just like your mom or dad while some think you are an actor or somebody important. Let me say right up front that you are somebody important. God created only 1 of you and nobody else will do. I personally have never been mistaken for a movie star or a famous public figure but I have been mistaken as to who I really was and looks can be deceiving.

 

In my senior year of high school I went to school with my Uncle Gary. When asked if we were related (we were both the same age and seniors) they always thought we were cousins. I don’t know that I ever got that point across?

 

While in the Army stationed in Colorado I had taken a trip to Idaho to go hunting with the folks. I followed them as we wound up, around and through the mountains in Idaho arriving at the campsite just as it was getting dark. My brother Jess had stepped out to talk with the folks and I guess I had run a bit behind. As I approached the van stopped in the middle of the road Jess saw me coming and told dad to pull over so this pickup could get by. I was military and carried Idaho plates so he didn’t recognize me or my vehicle. Dad said that’s just your brother Joe behind us.

 

There was the time when I came to visit the folks in Boise and often it was to take mom or dad to a doctor appointment. One time mom had a followup with her primary doctor and I drove her to the hospital. I dropped her off at the main entrance and met her up at the 2nd or 3rd floor where her doctor’s office was. She was sitting down as I got to the waiting room. Shortly they called her for the check in procedure and then took her back to a room to wait for the doctor. A nurse came to me in the waiting room and said I could come back to where my wife was and wait with her for the doctor. As we went back I told her that was not my wife, but my mom.

 

Several times I’d come to Boise to visit the folks and inevitably I’d go see dad in rehab. Quite often a nurse or attendant would ask if we were related. I’d either say he was my brother or they named him after me. Then dad would say that’s my oldest boy from Colorado. We’d really throw them off when my brothers Jess and Jered would show up, because we didn’t look anything alike (I don’t wear a beard well). One of us would cop a Wilson joke and we’d all laugh!

 

Mom didn’t always agree with our jokes either. Especially, when we were in the other room all talking about how as kids we were angels. She’d let out a holler “No You Weren’t” that kept us rolling on the floor laughing. I’d tell her, “Maw, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.”

 

Probably the last laugh was when we were young, growing up together in and around Homedale, Idaho where mom had went to school. We’d go into a store and someone would ask whose kids she was babysitting? She’d say I’m not babysitting these are my boys. By age 21 she had 4 boys 1 redhead and 3 blondes.

 

That red-headed stepchild joke didn’t always set well with me and those blond jokes probably didn’t set well with my brothers either. One time that I know of my brother Jess got stopped by ICE because they thought he was illegal, but no he was just a Wilson.

 

It’s times like these when I miss mom, dad and brother John – RIP guys, Until we meet again. For the rest of us we meet online or on the phone every now and again. Love you guys! – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Patriots and Patriotism

Patriots and Patriotism

 

I’m reminded that patriots are both born and made and love our Country, its flag and the Constitution come in all sizes and political persuasions. Above all we give thanks to God for it is his grace that our nation exists. The Word of God is the basis for our Constitution that declares everyone is created equal and endowed with certain unalienable rights given not by a state or a federal government, but by almighty God. One can be a patriot without shoving it down someone else’s throat. Patriotism is infectiously displaying love for one’s country and all that it stands for.

 

Symbolically in the United States we celebrate the birth of our nation every 4th of July.  Traditionally there are parades, fireworks and hotdogs at public parks across our great nation. It is a time of showing off the Red, White and Blue; the stars and stripes and paying tribute to our first responders and to our military that protect us and our freedoms every day.

 

It is not necessary to have been in the military to be patriotic, yet everyone who has served in the military overseas comes to appreciate seeing the Stars and Stripes waving above a military compound or an American Embassy in a foreign land. President John F. Kennedy once said “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country”.

 

The Land of Opportunity is what draws immigrants from across the globe for the opportunity to live the American dream. They come for a better life for themselves and their families in a land where hard work and freedom brings happiness.

 

We’ve been afforded a new focus because of the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020. We’ve seen how private industry and public office can come together and do the seemingly impossible. Let us not waste the opportunity we’ve been given.

 

Politics is a chicken with a left wing and a right wing, at the end of the day it’s still a chicken.

 

This is a presidential election year that comes about every 4 years. Don’t listen to the hype from either political aisle. Take lightly what is broadcast over the airwaves or across the internet. Think about what’s important to you, freedom – to worship God; protect and raise a family; start a business; or to travel? There are those who promise the moon yet are unable to deliver; who threaten to impose restrictions by altering or ignoring the rights guaranteed under the Constitution. Don’t be fooled.

 

As American citizens one of the basic rights we cherish is the right to vote, to make our voices heard and not that of a political party. Be sure to cast your vote for the candidate that represents YOU best. It’s not about political party it’s about you, your family and the American dream. Let your voice be heard and your vote count. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

A Case for Returning to Normal

A Case for Returning to Normal

 

We are at the very end of April and life as we knew it was torn asunder January 1st, (New Year’s Day) 2020 as a new invisible enemy was unleashed upon the world and we entered the era of Corona. What we knew or thought we knew could have filled a thimble. At first it looked like a simple distraction from the Congressional circus was announced in Washington.

 

Set to be the most important event in the history of the nation – The Impeachment of President Donald J. Trump drew the focus of America toward the US Senate as the Trial phase was about to begin and an invisible enemy crept into the nation and around the world. Admittedly the world was dealing with a virtual unknown. At first there was shock as the great unknown spread across the globe. First recognized in December 2019 from an open meat market at Wuhan, China it was quickly labeled SARS-CoV-2 as the second Coronavirus. The SARS like virus was dubbed COVID-19 for the illness caused by human to human contact.

 

Panic mode set in as people feared the unknown and began panic buying of cleaning supplies, toilet paper and hand sanitizer. Hospitals, medical professionals and governments were caught unprepared and storage supplies of Personal Protective Equipment were soon threatening to be exhausted.

 

As if a single hand went up, governments across the globe began to close their border and prepare for the projected onslaught of massive death and destruction thought to be coming. Initially schools and businesses were also closed and entire households were driven toward self-quarantine in what we now call “Stay-At-Home” orders issued at every level of every government.

 

While working to figure out how to best deal with this new pandemic factories, small businesses and individuals began working to manufacture hand sanitizer and PPE on a massive scale, never seen before except in time of war.

 

Health departments began modeling and predicting massive infections and historically high projected death tolls resulting from COVID-19 (Corona). In the US alone medical professionals were called into active service from our inactive reserves and emergency portable field hospitals were set up in various states with high population areas. Virus testing, treatment and contact tracing have begun.

 

After 60 days of self-isolation, social distancing and wearing protective face coverings we are becoming complacent in our little “safe zones”. What many of us are not doing is working. That means incomes have been drastically cut to zero and savings nest eggs are being depleted. On the national level stimulus checks are being sent to US taxpayers and businesses large and small are receiving government assistance.

 

States are slowly waking up to the need to get businesses open again and people back to work. Families have been relegated to online classes for students of all ages. Religious services are almost completely online. Work from home is encouraged for all businesses where practical.

 

What about the massive death totals that we were told would be happening? At first health officials were encouraging medical facilities to code all deaths as COVID, whether the primary or secondary cause. Several states decided to move COVID patients INTO select nursing homes resulting in undoubtedly higher mortality rates. State veterans homes were not immune as understaffed and an overabundance of infected COVID patients resulted in extremely high mortality.

 

There are independent and scientific medical data collections going on as we speak. Charts and graphs depict growing numbers of people tested, large amounts of people testing positive, yet proportionately smaller amount of COVID deaths. Compared to the flu (A & B) or just about any other type of mortality, COVID deaths are in fact minuscule. I don’t want to minimize any death, as each one is devastating for the families and loved ones left behind. What has not been said or made it into the headlines is that we as a nation have been driven by a spirit of fear; of the unknown or the unexpected. It is time to change directions. It is now time to return to normal. Go back not to business as usual, but to common sense living where everyone looks out for their neighbor, treating others with respect and standing up for the underdog. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Corruption Within The Democratic Party

Corruption Within the Democratic Party

 

It is so in your face that today we see it as the norm in politics but hasn’t it always been that way? I wonder if it is bred and groomed in colleges and universities across this nation. It stands to reason that as many politicians are attorneys or lawyers there has to be a common denominator in the culture of educational “institutions of higher learning” an oxymoron if there ever was. Attorney’s study the law and doctors study medicine and both take an oath. One to defend the accused, the other to save human life and both are noble causes worth pursuing. Our culture and our very lives depend upon them.

 

The issues come to the surface when the learned ones begin to see themselves as the savior of a cause and they veer of their original path and into politics. The question of when corruption began in what is the oldest existing political party in the United States the Democratic Party and can be traced back to the party’s origin and heritage.

 

The Jeffersonian Democratic-Republican Party of the 1790s was known as the party of the “common man”. The early Democratic Party stood for individual rights, state sovereignty, and opposed banks and the abolition of slavery. Let that sink in!

 

During the 1832 – 1950s the Democrats usually bested the opposition Whig Party by narrow margins. In the Civil War era from 1860 to 1932 the Great Depression the Republican Party rose out of the Whig Party and was dominant in presidential politics. During this same period the Democrats proved more competitive with the Republicans in Congressional politics. The Democratic Party split between the Bourbon Democrats who represented the Eastern business interest; and the agrarian elements comprising of poor farmers in the South and West, beginning the progressive movement in the US. Beginning with Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932 during the Great Depression the party’s progressive liberal policies and programs with the New Deal coalition combatted the emergency bank closings and the continuing financial depression since the Wall Street Crash of 1929 and later leading up to World War II. Democrats controlled the lower house of the Congress (Representatives) from 1930 until 1994 and the Senate for most of that same period, electing the Speaker of the House and the Representatives’ majority leaders/committee chairs along with the upper house of the Senate’s majority leaders and committee chairmen. Important Democratic progressive/liberal leaders included Harry S. Truman, Lyndon B. Johnson, John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Ted Kennedy who carried the flag for modern American liberalism. Democrats have also won five out of the last eleven presidential elections, but lost the Electoral College with Al Gore and Hillary Clinton.

 

The Democratic Party in Congress has opposed EVERY Republican president since Richard Nixon and the Congressional Black Caucus began blatantly boycotting of Republican presidential State of the Union speeches to Congress as a show of disrespect that continues with Donald Trump.

 

What I don’t understand is how Democratic states have negative cash flow issues at many levels. Schools and infrastructure repairs not made after federal funds have been acquired and money simply disappeared? Democratic states provide free housing, medical and money to illegal aliens then governors seeking more federal disaster funding to make up the gap? Those who question what happened to the money are shouted out as hate-mongers and racists for even asking.

 

The corruption is so widespread and common place in America so much that it is acceptable behavior. The media ignore reports of misappropriation of funds and mismanagement while running with fake news designed to place Republican politicians in a negative political light. Minorities are expected to eat, sleep and vote democrat or else. So how is it that the party of the “common man” has become the party that bullies and harasses the common man into submission for the sake of their votes? It is the Democratic Party that pushes the liberalism agenda where robbing Peter to pay Paul actually takes productivity away from both. Absolute power corrupts absolutely and the Democratic Party has become the poster child of corruption in government in America. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Suffer The Little Children

10014542_741164295916539_611287471_n

Suffer the Little Children

 

“But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” – Matthew 19:14 – King James Version (KJV).

 

Have you ever gotten the age of a child completely wrong? Try asking a 3 year old if he or she is 4 or 5, they’ll tell you, “NO I’M THREE!”

 

Children are not bashful about telling it to you straight. They don’t beat around the bush either. A few years ago a lady came into my wife’s beauty salon. She brought her little granddaughter with her. It didn’t take long before the little girl became bored and wanted to go into the back yard.

 

She went to my wife and asked, “Auntie, Can I go play in the back yard?”

 

See dear said my wife as she worked on her client’s hair.

 

The little girl didn’t move. She just stood there and asked, “But won’t that old grandpa get mad?”

 

I was close enough to hear their exchange and I’ve often wondered why my wife was auntie and I was that old grandpa? At that time I didn’t even have any grandkids yet.

 

Another time someone rang the doorbell and as I opened the door I saw a woman with her kids and a wagon full of Girl Scout cookies. Expecting the little girl to ask if I wanted to buy some cookies (I love the macaroons) I waited in anticipation for her to ask the question.

 

“You’re old!” she said. Her mom was in shock and began to apologize furiously for the behavior of her little brownie scout. I dismissed her with something like “Don’t worry I get this from kids all the time.”

 

Then I focused my full attention and turned my gaze toward the little girl and asked her, “Do you know what’s older than me?” She shook her head no. I said, “Dirt!” Then I proceeded to order a couple of boxes of my favorite cookies.

 

I’m reminded of my encounter with a little tyke when I was only 18 and stationed overseas in Thailand. I was at a village and bent down to my knees in front of this little guy, maybe 2 years old. Not knowing the language I brought my hands up in a boxing pose. Before I knew it or could take any evasive action this little guy did a Muay Thai kick that had it landed would have sent me flat to the ground (I never expected that).

 

When Jesus said “Suffer the little children….” Was he referring to OPK (other people’s kids) like these?

 

I’m a bit older now and my granddaughter has kids. That makes me a great-great-grandpa (twice as great). Recently we were in the middle of remodeling our house and the kids came over to check up on us (before Corona). We’re in my man cave (office) sitting in front of the 50” TV watching a cartoon movie and my 4 year old GGD looked at me and proclaimed, “Papa, You don’t have eyebrows!” Was I surprised? Sure but at least she didn’t say anything about my hair. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

More Than Meets The Eye

More Than Meets The Eye

 

It is nearing the end of April and since December 31st when China announced to the World Health Organization the existence in Wuhan of the 2019-nCoV soon dubbed SARS-CoV-2 everyone was taken literally by surprise.

 

The saga of the invisible virus now simply called the Coronavirus has lead experts to predict death tolls that would be astronomically high per capita and there was no cure. Next we were told to shelter in place (stay-at-home) so as not to spread the virus. Across the nation we were silently accepting what we were fed and locked up tight in our homes. We were told our jobs were non-essential and businesses were forced to close and noncompliance would result in prison sentences and hefty fines. We were led to believe that hospitals would be unable to handle the number of Coronavirus cases that were predicted as medical supplies (masks, gloves, gowns and ventilators) were non-existent or in critically short supply plus federal warehouses either had little or no stocks on hand.

 

Federal pressure have acted to coordinate manufacturing of personal protective equipment and temporary medical hospitals to handle the anticipated epidemic, while a number of hospitals laid off medical staff (doctors, nurses and specialists) and actually closed their doors due to inactivity.

 

The fate of humanity was in the balance as nation after nation shut down entire economies as people died. Seemingly the first casualties of this COVID-19 pandemic were toilet paper, hand sanitizer and medical grade masks as panic buying took the world literally by storm.

 

If that wasn’t enough there was little or no mention of the COVID-19 affecting the masses of homeless people squatting or camping out in urban cities across the nation. Were they locked in their tents and shelters on city streets as the nation hunkered down? Then it began in state after state where governors began releasing prisoners fearing the COVID-19 would spread within individual state penal systems.

 

We have churches spreading hope for a lost and dying world, locked down as mass gatherings are now prohibited. We have small businesses closed and many will never recover. Medical facilities are shut down and non-critical surgeries have completely stopped. On the flip side liquor stores and abortion clinics are still open. What is the solution? How are we going to get thru this pandemic? Is anybody going to get out alive?

 

With all that is going on around us nobody can see the forest for the tree that is impaled our own eyes. To have an entire planet shut down for an invisible virus with no cure is ridiculous. We have economies on the verge of collapse and the mass production of currency aimed at keeping nations afloat with no sustainability. We see the morphing of deaths from various causes all being coded as COVID-19 caused or contributed, even though there is no evidence to substantiate it, why?

 

An old saying comes to mind, “Follow the money”! It would appear that the widespread misuse or mismanagement of local, state and federal funds allow those in power able to use the COVID-19 pandemic to make cities and states profitable again.  Remember there is no such thing as a free ride. It has been recently released to the public that COVID-19 deaths bring substantially more federal funds to the hospital, city and state where the death occurred so long as the cause or contributing cause is the virus. From the beginning the finger pointing began as politicians postured in anticipation of the presidential campaign season, debates and the upcoming November 2020 presidential election. The horizon is beginning to look bright for those sequestered at home because now they can clearly see how incompetent many political leaders really are. It is time to take names and action to insure that those politicians who couldn’t get wet if they fell into the ocean are replaced by competent patriotic Americans who use the Constitution as a guide, not as toilet paper. – I am the Real Truckmaster!

Whose Water Are You Carrying?

Whose Water Are You Carrying?

 

I think it’s safe to say that our buckets may be different but our purpose is exactly the same. We are each created in the image of God and our purpose is to tell of his goodness and his love for each of us. Like it or not we are either on God’s team or we are not. There is no middle ground. No straddling the fence. If we are not for God we are against him. Mankind is the only species where success is defined by what WE do; the toys WE have or the things WE give priority. In the wild the survival of the fittest, strongest and most cunning is nature’s way of thinning out the herd and predatory beasts are top of the food chain.

 

It is basic human nature to outsmart the other guy. You only live once. Everyone knows the one who has the most toys wins. Bigger, better, faster, smarter are never enough. We want freedom to do what we want to do without anyone or anything getting in our way. It’s perfectly fine to step over (if not on) anyone to get the prize, the means justify the end.

 

At the end of our days here on earth we are often remembered by family and friends as a kind person, loving to our family, a good friend. In their minds we are in heaven looking down as their guardian angel. Like cream rises to the top, rocks sink in water and one bad apple spoils the whole box we are each appointed once to die and then the judgement. What we do matters!

 

So before you go nuclear and put on your political suit of armor just remember that no matter your station in life, where you live or what you have accumulated you are responsible and accountable for your actions, words and deeds. There will come a time when you will stand before the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords and have to answer an all-important question, “What did you do for the Kingdom of God?” Are you spreading gossip, lies or the truth? Do you lift up or tear down? Are you making a difference in the lives of those around you?

The Muddy Waters

 

A few years ago I was driving from a small town in Idaho toward the Oregon border. As I got nearer I noticed the Snake River covered with a heavy fog that made driving on I-84 completely unsafe. My immediate concern was not the freeway speed of 75 MPH or the fact that the highway had rapidly disappeared. I was worried about other drivers coming up behind me as I slowed to a safer speed or approaching traffic crossing the divider and crossing into my lane. I had made that trip so many years ago from Caldwell, Idaho over to Ontario, Oregon but never in a heavy fog like that early morning as I went to the Toyota dealership for an oil change and to check on my aunt Anita. That was then and today as I look at what’s happening with the Coronavirus causing worldwide economies to come crashing down just like the creeping fog I think it is more than just a coincidence.

 

We are experiencing a global meltdown over a virus nobody can see or knows what happened to let it out. Is it a natural bug or a manmade virus and was it accidentally or intentionally released upon the world we live in? Biblical scholars refer to the book of Revelations and what is written about the end times. Non-believers simply refuse to believe it is anything to worry about as they scurry around panic buying toilet paper, cleaning supplies and looking for their local government to provide them with germ free facemasks.

 

I recently watched a cable news program’s investigative report on this very thing and what they uncovered is beyond believable. There are several nations across the globe that conduct biochemical experiments in highly secure facilities that are Level 3 & 4 Biolabs dealing with the deadliest viruses known to mankind. These are top secret facilities and access is tightly controlled. The high level experiments are primarily for scientific purposes but can be for biological warfare purposes.

 

It’s unclear when these tests began, but in 2014 during the Obama Administration the White House threatened to defund these types of projects, but relented and testing continued. One such test was in a Biolab in North Carolina in 2015 where the virus of Horseshoe Bats (native to Wuhan, China) were used in what was called “Gain of Function” testing designed to enhance exposure and transmission rates making the virus more deadly. What was also interesting was who the participants were and where they were from. Two of the participants were from Wuhan, China. One was Zheng-Li Shi a well-known Chinese scientist from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a Biolab located in Wuhan, known for maintaining more than 1,500 of the deadliest live viruses on the planet.

 

What is interesting is that in December 2019 Chinese nationals began returning from Wuhan, China to their jobs in Europe, Asia and the United States about the time the first case of what the Chinese labeled 2019-nCoV. This is a SARS-COV-2 coronavirus affectionately dubbed the Wuhan Virus, but renamed COVID-19.

 

As the investigative report showed on 7 February 2020 a Chinese Doctor Li Wenliang first noticed something peculiar and sounded the alarm in Wuhan. He was promptly detained, became infected and died of the 2019-nCoV. On 12 March 2020 Chinese Property Mogul Ren Zhiqiang complained about the CCP’s handling of the coronavirus and he too simply disappeared. There was another Doctor Ai Fen who disappeared under mysterious circumstances without so much as an explanation by the Communist Chinese Party. In fact a massive disinformation campaign has been launched in an attempt to shift the blame on US military personnel who participated in the World Military Competition during October 2019 in the city of Wuhan, China. When I wrote my blog “Assessing the Wuhan Virus” people became afraid and lashed out because I had written my critique. I stand by that assessment and today ask is it coincidence or consequence?

 

We now know that many infected Chinese personnel left Wuhan, China and went out into the world spreading this unknown virus where ever they went. Many travelled on direct flights to neighboring countries to an unsuspecting world. The World Health Organization (WHO) acted negligent and complacent to inform the world of this health hazard. That ultimately led to many more infections and deaths worldwide.

 

Rather than raise questions concerning the WHO handling of this pandemic, once President Trump announced suspending funding until an investigation is conducted, many American politicians have chosen sides with China and WHO.

 

Nobody has raised questions like why have 174 different nations all chosen to shut down, issue stay-at-home orders to their citizens, close arbitrary businesses that are the livelihood of many ordinary citizens while allowing those deemed essential to stay open? What exactly makes one essential? Is it booze, pot, abortions, convenience stores, fast food eateries, grocery stores and supermarkets? And Who made the determination for all 174 countries? Something smells like dirty rotten socks. It stinks like the approaching fog of the New World Order or a pre-One World Government.

 

In America there is a saying that diapers and politicians need to be changed and for the same reason as changing dirty socks. – I am the Real Truckmaster!
