I am in complete shock here.
RIP Andrew

You were more than just a soldier, You were a General.

Well, they don't serve cheesecake at the Brentwood Restaurant, where he was last seen, but how about:

Old Fashioned Strawberry Shortcake $8.00

Thanks for posting kristinn. I remember reading some of his postings.

All of us here are in mourning.
RIP Andrew

We lost a giant, yet we luckily had a giant. I guess we have to be like the Pioneers now, walk in the paths they made and make paths for those who follow.

From Pioneers O Pioneers by Whitman:

These are of us, they are with us,
All for primal needed work, while the followers there in embryo wait behind,
We to-day’s procession heading, we the route for travel clearing, Pioneers! O pioneers!

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

I look forward to reading more in the future. I love this guy more and more the more I learn about him. I am so very sad today.

[Yaelle]

And one more thing to do to provide for his kids is to buy his books. I am going to. They were already on my list but I have no time to read. S I’ve been waiting.

I was there also. There was ‘andrew’, Nick Danger, DoughtyOne, Clinton’s a Liar, & others I don’t remember now.

I could feel we were entering a new age. It would not be controlled by the mainstream media, but we would be able to find out what was happening (quickly) & decipher it ourselves — not thru their prism.

Thank you ‘andrew’. God bless & comfort your family.

Thanks, Kristinn. What you posted reminded me of one of Karl’s rants about the media:

“...One thing keeps popping up in my mind though... a couple years ago I swore an oath, that I would “...support and defend the Constitution of the United states against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same...”

I didn’t join up to be part of some government conspiracy—I joined because I thought it was just one small way that I could contribute to the people of this country... although the discipline didn’t hurt much either. As I think back to that oath, something about all enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC... I wonder who is really to blame for the degredation of the American society.

My money’s on the American mass media. It seems like you can’t turn on the news without seeing news reports about the death and destruction, and commercials that seem to subtlely induce worthlessness or fear, offering solace in the consumption of goods and services. The way I see it, people in this country (and the attitude is spreading across the globe), are encouraged by corporations and broadcasters to spend more and acquire more stuff, inducing a sense of security in material wealth. Some things, even tradition, can have a spin put on them to make the public needlessly wary—even fearful. Why aren’t houses in this country built with big front porches anymore? Probably because we know more about fictional TV characters than we do our own neighbors....

Though I think this veritable brainwashing may not have been intentional, the people who cultivate this sort of society have a lot of the general public in their pocket, and many are trying to use their positions to reshape the world the way they think it should be, not taking into account any consequence of their actions.

Given a choice and an opportunity, I’d gladly do my part to “restructure” the commercial institutions that poison the society whose flag will one day be draped over my coffin. [/rant]

Thanks for that remembrance.

So many years on, I had forgotten he was a Freeper.

He'll be missed by many but most off all his wife and children and we think of them tonight.

Was Andrew a part of the 2000 FReep at the Federal Building in Westwood after the election?
