'Terrifying': Massachusetts man banned from Facebook after sharing cryptic letter about democracy's demise
Massachusetts venture investor Chad Jones says the power of Big Tech is "terrifying" after he was was banned from Facebook for unknowingly igniting a social-media debate. https://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/terrifying-massachusetts-man-banned-facebook-sharing-cryptic-letter-democracy-demise Check out this article... this is terrifying from the standpoint that this gentleman was beanned for posting a letter written by a judge... But even MORE terrifying when you read the predictions in the letter. Here is the article: Alternative-energy investor Chad Jones went 'MIA on social media' ¡ª now vows 'silent majority is no longer silent' By Kerry J. Byrne | Fox News Facebook Twitter Flipboard Comments Print Email Facebook Receipts aim to expose big tech lobbyist using power, influence Facebook ¡®appears to be trying to use its influence to combat regulation,¡¯ Zamaan Qureshi says. A Massachusetts man helped fuel one of the biggest digital dust-ups and social-media mysteries of recent years. And after he did ¡ª Chad Jones then experienced the "terrifying" power of Big Tech titans to silence the voices of ordinary Americans. He's now doubling down on his efforts to speak out against tyranny in the digital town square and beyond. AI HAS POWER TO ¡®MANIPULATE¡¯ AMERICANS, SAYS SEN. JOSH HAWLEY, ADVOCATES FOR RIGHT TO SUE TECH COMPANIES "I went MIA on social media for a while for sharing some pretty innocuous things," Jones, a venture investor working to bring alternative energy to impoverished nations around the world, told Fox News Digital in an interview. "The idea that they¡¯re stifling voices as part of the normal course of business is terrifying." Chad Jones is a venture investor from Massachusetts who is working to bring alternative energy to emerging-market nations. He was banned from Facebook after he shared a mysterious letter from a California judge that spawned a viral social-media debate. (Kerry J. Byrne/Fox News Digital) The social-media soap opera began in 2022 when Jones, originally from California, posted on his personal Facebook page a cryptic letter allegedly written in December 2021 by an 85-year-old retired California judge, Keith M. Alber. The letter claimed that the current endangered state of American democracy was predicted with frightening accuracy in the 1950s. The judge's shocking claim spawned a frenzied reaction on social media. "The idea that they¡¯re stifling voices as part of the normal course of business is terrifying." "My first year of college was 68 years ago," Alber wrote in a brief letter to The Epoch Times in December 2021. "One class I took was political science. A half-page of my textbook essentially outlined a few steps to overturn democracy." Alber¡¯s letter enumerated those steps: "1) Divide the nation philosophically. 2) Foment racial strife. 3) Cause distrust of police authority. 4) Swarm the nation¡¯s borders indiscriminately and unconstitutionally. 5) Engender the military strength to weaken it. 6) Overburden citizens with more unfair taxation. 7) Encourage civil rioting and discourage accountability for all crime. 8) Control all balloting. 9) Control all media." The judge¡¯s letter struck home with many readers, including Jones ¡ª who felt the textbook from decades ago predicted the crisis of democracy that the nation faces today. It also spawned heated debate online ¡ª with members of each end of the American political spectrum claiming the other side was responsible for the fascist dystopia outlined by the judge. Many people, however, doubted the authenticity of the letter, especially with the judge's failure to cite the name of the textbook. Snopes.com weighed in, claiming last May that it talked to Alber and that the letter was authentic. Alber died later last year. But, the outlet wrote, "One of the more popular postings of the article came from a Facebook account named Chad Jones. As of mid-May 2022, that post had been shared more than 11,000 times." Jones was unaware that his post had gone viral until Fox News Digital contacted him last week. "The silent majority is no longer silent like the

Memorial Day - To Honor and Remember
Have a Blessed Memorial Day! While enjoying nice weather (hopefully), family, good friends, and good food, please remember the reason for this special day! Some sacrificed a great deal and many sacrificed everything. Please keep all those who sacrificed so much in thought and prayer this Memorial Day! They gave their lives for our freedom and that's a precious gift. Let us never forget them. Flying a flag, taking a moment of reflection or speaking to a veteran about their experiences are simple ways to remember the true meaning of Memorial Day. And let's not forget first responders, firefighters, and police officers who sacrificed they're all in the line of duty while protecting us and helping us. I know that memorial Day is technically for Military Service, but these other brave heroes sacrificed for us as well. --Ginny from https://www.history.com/topics/holidays/memorial-day-history Memorial Day is an American holiday, observed on the last Monday of May, honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Memorial Day 2023 will occur on Monday, May 29. Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and participating in parades. Unofficially, it marks the beginning of the summer season. And catch the PBS Memorial Day Concert if you can: https://www.pbs.org/national-memorial-day-concert/memorial-day/history/ In Flanders Fields BY JOHN MCCRAE In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. The Story Behind John McCrae¡¯s ¡°In Flanders Fields¡± poem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAWfiTM2KsA&ab_channel=RoyalBritishLegion On Memorial Day, leave an empty seat at the table for the 'Missing Hero' who gave selflessly for our freedoms Florida mom shares a simple but meaningful tradition for Memorial Day Military foundation donates mortgage-free homes this Memorial Day weekend Tunnel to Towers Foundation CEO Frank Siller explains on ¡®Fox & Friends Weekend¡¯ why they paid off 30 mortgages for families of fallen heroes this Memorial Day Weekend. Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer. Pools open. Grills are fired up. Hot dogs and burgers appear on menus. And as families prepare to pull out the paper plates and slice the watermelon, they may consider adding a simple tradition to make Memorial Day truly meaningful. VETERAN OF IRAQ WAR SHARES INSIGHTS ON IMPORTANCE OF HONORING FALLEN HEROES THIS MEMORIAL DAY Creating "The Missing Hero Table" ¡ª or setting an extra place and empty chair at the family table ¡ª is a way to remember the soldier who never came home. Memorial Day is more than just a three-day weekend, of course. U.S. Navy sailors walk near an American flag on the USS Bataan on Memorial Day on May 30, 2022, in New York City. The USS Bataan along with multiple other vessels participated in Fleet Week in 2022. (Alexi Rosenfeld/Getty Images) It¡¯s the federal holiday set aside each year to honor and mourn those who gave their lives for our country¡¯s freedoms. (Veterans Day in November is the holiday during which we honor all veterans who served.) Those who made the ultimate sacrifice did it for all Americans ¡ª and they'd want us to enjoy the blessings of living in a free country, including be able to have backyard BBQs. For parents and caregivers, the classic social gatherings of Memorial Day are prime opportunities to teach both guests and children alike about the ultimate sacrifice.

President Biden was awarded an honorary doctorate degree from Howard University on Saturday for his "analytical intellect" and "popularity on both sides" ¨C claims mocked by conservatives on Twitter and contradicted by recent polls. Dr. Wayne Frederick, the president of Howard University, introduced Biden with high praise at the school's 155th commencement on Saturday. "Admired for your sound analytical intellect and open embrace for all, your popularity on both sides of the aisle of the United States led to your illustrious reputation and outstanding service of 36 years as a Democratic senator from Delaware beginning at a tender age of 29," Frederick said of Biden.

An April poll in Gallup showed Biden's approval rating at an all-time low of 37%. An ABC News/Washington Post poll released last Sunday found that 63% of American adults do not think Biden, 80, has the "mental sharpness" it takes to serve effectively as president. Dozens of House Republicans, including Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, who served as former President Barack Obama's physician, recently demanded that Biden should take a cognitive test or get out of the 2024 race for president. Biden, in his address to graduating students at the historical Black college, said White supremacy is the "most dangerous terrorist threat to our homeland," causing backlash on social media with many critics saying he was trying to divide Americans and stoke racial tensions.

You gotta love this story! Deer Fishing in Alaska..................................
Sharing! PLEASE READ THIS STORY AND MAKE SURE YOU CAN SEE PICTURES¡ªNEAT!!!!! " We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals." - Immanuel Kant Went fishing, caught 4 deer, and this is no fish story. . A once in the history of mankind kind of thing. The Best Day Of Fishing Ever! Some Fishing stories are a little hard to believe but this guy has pictures to prove his story.....I've heard of salmon jumping into boats, but never anything quite like this. Tom Satre told the Sitka Gazette that he was out with a charter group on his 62-foot fishing vessel when four juvenile black-tailed deer swam directly toward his boat. . "Once the deer reached the boat, the four began to circle the boat, looking directly at us. We could tell right away that the young bucks were distressed. I opened up my back gate and we helped the typically skittish and absolutely wild animals onto the boat. In all my years fishing, I've never seen anything quite like it! Once on board, they collapsed with exhaustion, shivering." "This is a picture I took of the rescued bucks on the back of my boat, the Alaska Quest. We headed for Taku Harbour. Once we reached the dock, the first buck that we had pulled from the water hopped onto the dock, looked back as if to say 'thank you' and disappeared into the forest. After a bit of prodding and assistance, two more followed, but the smallest deer needed a little more help." This is me carrying the little guy. My daughter, Anna, and son, Tim, helped the last buck to its feet. We didn't know how long they had been in the icy waters or if there had been others who did not survive . My daughter later told me that the experience was something that she would never forget, and I suspect the deer felt the same way as well!" I told you! Awesome! "Kindness is the language the blind can see and the deaf can hear." - Mark Twain You gotta love this story!

Minnesota WWII veteran celebrates turning 100 years old, wishes today's young people had 'more backbone'.
In honor of her 100 year birthday, Dorothy Lassig is sharing some her favorite memories from her time in the war to square dancing at 92, read all about her interesting life. https://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/minnesota-wwii-veteran-celebrates-turning-100-years-old-wishes-young-people-more-backbone Minnesota WWII veteran celebrates turning 100 years old, wishes today's young people had 'more backbone' Dorothy Lassig, 100 years old, served in the Navy and raised 8 children By Gretchen Eichenberg | Fox News Facebook Twitter Flipboard Comments Print Email 100-year-old WWII nurse skydiving for 1st time in Florida Raymonde Sullivan celebrated her 100th birthday with a tandem skydive. The former World War II nurse took the thrilling jump with help from Skydive Sebastian, a Florida-based skydive company. A female World War II veteran who overcame tremendous hardship during her lifetime ¡ª including war ¡ª turned 100 this month. She shared with Fox News Digital memories of raising three siblings, serving her country, bringing up her own eight children, becoming a nurse at age 49, suffering the loss of a son to suicide ¡ª and square dancing until she was 92. More than 200,000 women served in the military during WWII ¡ª but only about 10,000 of them are still living today, according to the National WWII Museum. One of those women is Dorothy Lassig of Stewartville, Minnesota. TEXAS ARMY VET SURPRISED WITH TOWN PARADE FOR HIS 95TH BIRTHDAY: 'I'M NOT A HERO, I JUST SERVED MY COUNTRY' "It was a different time," Lassig told Fox News Digital. "We had a really deep depression. There were no jobs for anybody really. And we were attacked. Pearl Harbor did a lot to us. When something like that happens, it's a lot different than it is nowadays. You don't even stop to think about it. It's just something you have to do." Dorothy (in center) served in the U.S. Navy as a pharmacist's mate and was stationed for a period of time in Key West, Florida. "We would stabilize them and then send them on closer to their homes." (Sara Lassig) Lassig served the U.S. Navy as a pharmacist¡¯s mate third class. She was stationed in Key West, Florida. "Ships would come into the harbor and we would get people and field-dress them," Lassig said. "We called it field-dressing even though they were in the Navy. We would stabilize them and then send them on closer to their homes." WWII VETERAN CELEBRATES 100TH BIRTHDAY, REVEALS HIS SECRETS AND 'LIFETIME OF INSPIRATION' Lassig said she was also trained as a physical therapist. In her last six months of service, Lassig said she was transferred to the Navy Hospital Corp in Miami Beach. A woman in a male-dominated setting, Lassig was confident in her position, she told Fox News Digital. (Sara Lassig) "We opened up a dependent¡¯s unit for all the moms and girlfriends that were going to come in to have babies," Lassig said. Lassig said she felt confident working as a woman in a male-dominated setting. "Well, actually, anybody working in the Hospital Corps was better off than those not working there because the guys that were working with us were really great," Lassig said. "We never had to worry about anything." WORLD WAR II VETERAN CELEBRATES 102ND BIRTHDAY: 'BLESSED' AND 'GRATEFUL' FOR COMMUNITY SUPPORT Originally from Wisconsin, Lassig showed toughness and a willingness to serve from an early age. Lassig is pictured with her 4-year-old great-granddaughter, Madeline. (Sara Lassig) "My father left us when we were toddlers," Lassig said. "I had two brothers and a baby sister. I was the oldest and our mother left us a few years later. We were turned over by our Lutheran pastor to our maternal grandparents on a farm that they rented." Lassig said she did not want to talk further about her childhood ¡ª except to say that in many ways, she had to take on the role of mother to her siblings. "All my life," she said. "Because I was the oldest, I've been told, ¡®Do this¡¯ and ¡®Do that¡¯ and 'Look after them¡¯ ¡ª all my life." WWII VETERAN IS WISHING FOR 100 CARDS ON HIS 100TH BIRTHDAY Later, after teaching in a country school for two years, Las

When you see a Cardinal, believe your loved one is near! ¡± 28 Famous Quotes About Cardinals and Loved Ones Do you feel comforted when encountering a cardinal in nature? Many people do. Some feel that cardinals are visitors from Heaven. When they encounter a cardinal, they feel that their loved ones are sending them a message of peace, hope, and love from the afterlife.

Here are some quotes about cardinals, birds, and grief that may speak to you if you are a lover of these beautiful creatures. Inspirational Quotes About Cardinals Some of these quotes are from poems about cardinals, which you might consider using in the funeral program for your loved one.

Do you notice the birds more now than ever before? 10. ¡°Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.

There is some good advice here. I often ignore the door if I am not expecting anyone... this puts a new perspective on that! To summarize the article, the author claims that most burglars prefer vacant homes. If you ignore the knock they will think the house is empty. If you answer thru the door (or a Ring doorbell) you can tell them you are NOT INTERESTED but they know someone is home. In the case of burglars, they will often chose another home. Good article!

This cat, nearly 32 years old, has a shot at being the oldest feline in the world
Rosie is a fluffy tortoise-shell cat ¡ª and will celebrate her 32nd birthday on June 1, according to her owner Lila Brissett of Norwich, Norfolk, in the U.K. https://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/this-cat-nearly-32-has-shot-being-oldest-feline-world This cat, nearly 32 years old, has a shot at being the oldest feline in the world Rosie has visited a veterinarian only twice in her life, owner says By Maureen Mackey | Fox News Facebook Twitter Flipboard Comments Print Email Video Elderly cats live in retirement village: See their little cottages! Moggies Retirement Village in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England, is a village for homeless, stray and abandoned cats. The Shropshire Cat Rescue currently houses 17 cats here. A cat in Britain soon could be crowned the oldest feline in the world. Rosie is a fluffy tortoiseshell ¡ª and will celebrate her 32nd birthday on June 1 with her owner Lila Brissett, 72, who took her in as a kitten in 1991, according to SWNS, a British news service. People have told Brissett to contact the Guinness Book of Records to confirm that her cat is indeed the world's oldest mixed breed feline. The current holder of that honor is a 27-year-old cat named Flossie from Kent, said SWNS. WORLD'S OLDEST LIVING CAT IS NEARLY 27 AND LIVES IN ENGLAND: ¡®SPECIAL CAT¡¯ Rosie has only ever visited a veterinarian twice, according to her owner. Brissett, a retired housewife from Norwich, Norfolk, told SWNS, "This beautiful thing was handed to me in a cane basket as a kitten in 1991 ¡ª and the rest is history." Rosie, 31, has only ever visited a veterinarian twice, said her owner. The fluffy mixed breed cat is now eyeing her 32nd birthday this June 1. (SWNS) Brissett said the cat only visited the vet to be spayed in the '90s and then "five years ago, to get antibiotics for a cyst on her head." Added Brissett, "She's quite a character. She's still got all her teeth." Happily welcomed Brissett said she was approached by animal rescuer in the ¡®90s. Rosie the kitten needed rehoming after her first family couldn¡¯t keep her once they realized their daughter had allergies. CAT CAUGHT ON CAMERA CLIMBING INTO OWNER'S BED FOR NIGHTTIME CUDDLES Brissett had previously rescued an abused cat and a stray dog ¡ª so she happily welcomed Rosie into her home, SWNS reported. Lila Brissett with cat Rosie, who will turn 32 years old this year. "All my animals seem to live to a good age," said Brissett. (SWNS) Rosie is a cross between a ginger tom and a rag doll, "giving her a gloriously fluffy tail." She lives indoors in Brissett's ground-floor apartment ¡ª and is fed Purina One cat food daily "or she'll kick up a fuss," said Brissett. "I'm worried about the day she crosses over the rainbow bridge. She'll leave a big void." The Guinness Book of World Records says that the oldest cat alive currently is 27, according to its records. Flossie was born on Dec. 29, 1995, as verified in Orpington, in the United Kingdom, on Nov. 10, 2022. It added that the oldest cat ever was Creme Puff of Austin, Texas, who was born on Aug. 3, 1967, and lived until Aug. 6, 2005 ¡ª 38 years and three days. WOMAN SAVES THREE LAMBS MEANT FOR THE ¡®DINNER TABLE¡¯ IN HEROIC STORY When asked why she thought Rosie had lived to such a ripe old age, Brissett said, "Care and attention? Good food? I don¡¯t know. All my animals seem to live to a good age. Rosie sleeps by the window all day and, like clockwork, she will have some food and use the litter tray." Rosie the cat will turn 32 this year. Lila Brissett has been told by others to submit her cat's details to the Guinness Book of World Records. (SWNS) She added, "There's no need for an alarm clock. All she does is eat, sleep, use the litter tray and repeat," as SWNS reported. She also said, "I often have to check if she's still alive and breathing. I'm worried about the day she crosses over the rainbow bridge. She'll leave a big void." "I'll miss her when she goes," said Brissett. "But I'll never have her put down."

BEAUTIFUL........ Silence
Sharing this! Cannot watch this without getting all choked up. It is certainly beautiful. A stark reminder that American has has nothing to apologize for overseas in Europe. As always, thanks to all our veterans and fine service men and women! --Ginny Worth reading the entire article. ESPECIALLY worth listening to the young lady play the trumpet. (Brings tears to my eyes every time I see this video.) Enjoy - and remember how many of our service people gave their lives for this country. BEAUTIFUL......... Silence About six miles from Maastricht, in the Netherlands, lie buried 8,301 American soldiers who died in "Operation Market Garden" in the battles to liberate Holland in the fall and winter of 1944. Every one of the men buried in the cemetery, as well as those in the Canadian and British military cemeteries, has been adopted by a Dutch family who mind the grave, decorate it, and keep alive the memory of the soldier they have adopted. It is even the custom to keep a portrait of "their" American soldier in a place of honor in their home. Annually, on "Liberation Day," memorial services are held for "the men who died to liberate Holland." The day concludes with a concert. The final piece is always "Il Silenzio," a memorial piece commissioned by the Dutch and first played in 1965 on the 20th anniversary of Holland's liberation. It has been the concluding piece of the memorial concert ever since. This year the soloist was a 13-year-old Dutch girl, Melissa Venema, backed by Andr¨¦ Rieu and his orchestra (the Royal Orchestra of the Netherlands). This beautiful concert piece is based upon the original version of taps and was composed by Italian composer Nino Rossi. http://www.flixxy.com/trumpet-solo-melissa-venema.htm After you watch the above website, check this out.

AFTER DEFENDING US AGAINST OUR ENEMIES? WE DON'T ASK FOR PRAISE...BUT WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO NEED TO APOLOGIZE! Patriotic Americans, forward it! Non-patriotic, delete it! Most of the protected don't understand it. DO THINK ABOUT THIS. THANK YOU! AND A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU TO ALL OUR AMERICAN SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN STILL SERVING THROUGHOUT THE WORLD!!
