I’m so looking forward to our POTUS’ speech!

Does anyone share with me the thought that this speech will be the initiator of the following kind of action?

[ENJOY!!]

“Triple Spiral” - 15,000 Ds

“...Journey around the world” - 128,000 Ds

To offset the frivolity of my previous post, I stumbled across this fascinating interview of a guy in the 70s and 80s who was a democrat from Georgia and tried to blow the whistle on the plans of the Cabal for their new world order. He was taken out in 1983 when the Boeing 747 he was in was taken out by the Soviets in Korean flight 007.

I have added Rep Larry McDonald (D) GA to my file of “Early / Prominent Deaths.”

The youtube poster stated she posted it because we should remember him and the work he sought to do. One of the unsung Patriots who has given his life for his brethren. Much of what he revealed has come true.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_McDonald

Was 2nd president of John Birch Society. He was a flight surgeon. General George S. Patton was a distant relative.

The American Conservative Union gave him a perfect score of 100 every year he was in the House of Representatives, except in 1978, when he scored a 95.

He advocated the use of the non-approved drug laetrile to treat patients in advanced stages of cancer despite medical opinion that the promotion of laetrile to treat cancer was a canonical example of quackery.

During his time in Congress, McDonald introduced over 150 bills, including legislation to:
Repeal the Gun Control Act of 1968.
Remove the limitation upon the amount of outside income a Social Security recipient may earn.
Award honorary U.S. Citizenship to Russian dissident Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.
Invite Russian dissident Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn to address a joint meeting of Congress.
Prohibit Federal funds from being used to finance the purchase of American agricultural commodities by any Communist country.
Create a select committee in the House of Representatives to conduct an investigation of human rights abuses in Southeast Asia by Communist forces.
Repeal the FCC regulations against editorializing and support of political candidates by noncommercial educational broadcasting stations.
Create a House Committee on Internal Security.
Impeach UN Ambassador Andrew Young.
Limit eligibility for appointment and admission to any United States service academy to men.
Direct the Comptroller General of the United States to audit the gold held by the United States annually.
Increase the national speed limit to 65 miles per hour (105 km/h) from the then-prevailing national speed limit of 55 miles per hour (89 km/h).
Abolish the Federal Election Commission.
Get the U.S. out of the United Nations.
Place statues of Booker T. Washington and George Washington Carver in the Capitol.

His seat eventually was held by Newt Gingrich.

There are a number of quotes by and about him listed on his wiki page.

In Wake of Tucson, Media Ignores Rep. Larry McDonald

Excerpt:
“In the midst of one American tragedy, another one is being ignored. Following the shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and the murder of several others in Tucson, the mainstream media has stolidly preserved a blackout about the last U.S. congressman to be killed in the line of duty — U.S. Representative Larry McDonald (D-Ga.).”

“Congressman McDonald was killed on September 1, 1983, when the Soviet Union shot down the Korean Air Lines flight 007, en route from New York City to Seoul, South Korea. There were 269 persons aboard — men, women, children, and Congressman Larry McDonald. At the time, McDonald was chairman of The John Birch Society (a subsidiary of which publishes The New American.) He was also instrumental in founding Western Goals Foundation, the stated mission of which was “to strengthen the political, economic and social structure of Western Civilization so as to make any merger with totalitarians impossible.””

“Despite a few stories correctly identifying Larry McDonald as the last U.S. congressman to be killed while in service, the majority of the media have ignored him in telling of other congressmen killed or murdered...”

I had not heard of this guy before, but I’m glad I know about him now.

Posting this as a warning. Most of the posts in the last thread were just blather...people replying to others with "He said this, she said that" and I'm going WTF is "he" and "she"???

I assume that most of our posts are made to educate readers. As the author of a post, it is your duty to make that post as "likely-to-be read-and-understood" as possible.

(obviously, this issue has really irked me. Some slackers will be notified)
