Boston Herald ^ | June 6, 2013 | O’Ryan Johnson

One of the Bay State’s dwindling number of D-Day veterans recalls the Normandy Invasion — 69 years ago today — as a day when he and other young men “made a difference.”

One thing I am tired of is aggregate Baby Boomer bashing. I am a BB and was raised by GG’ers. I am basically a GG’er. I know many BB’s that are exactly like me a clone of their parents. I honor the same things my parents did and despise the same things they do. The BB’s that are they type that people like to condemn were raised by the same kind of GG’ers that people rail against today, selfish and detached. You are a product of how you were raised and there are a great many GG’ers that dropped the ball, blame them.

The slide this country started taking started long before any BB’s were holding office. The seeds of socialism were plant as far back as Woodrow Wilson and Teddy Roosevelt’s days.

I guess you're right. I am a BB, raised with GG values and outlook but when I look around me, I see so many of my generation who are America bashers and terminal Liberals.

So, according to your take on things, we are too far gone along the Socialist continuom?

I think we are close to the point of no return and that scares me. By no return I mean without some sort or major reset event like an armed revolt or external interference that jars the sleeping masses awake.

I do not see an armed revolt as too many people are tired from watching “American Idol”, overeating or staying out too late at WalMart.

A reset might happen once waves of Islamic Jihadists begin a combined attack on US soil. Then I can see people taking up arms but then that might cause mass rioting, looting and pillaging. If people are willing to trample people for Black Friday sales, I shutter to think what might happen in a real emergency...

Bad thing about the jihadist scenario is the people would, once again, be labeled as wrong and the villains in this action and it would be the people versus the government and the arabs solidifying their alliance against us.

I always honor combat veterans, they didn’t instigate a war, they fought in it either after being drafted or volunteering to fight to defend their nation.

That being said, the “greatest generation” phrase was made famous by Tom Brokaw, who sits on the board of the CFR.

Nowadays the truth and evidence can’t be held from the public by press as it was during most of the 20th century.

WWII was yet another war instigated by international banking. Hitler was simply another puppet who was lead to believe that he had the backing of Wall Street, and that Wall Street finance was somehow not linked to the his view of bankers he didn’t like.

Needless to say, when I recently came upon this info, I was severely let down. My grandfather volunteered for service in the Navy at the age of 44. I used to read books on WWII as a very young boy. I love the music of that era. I’m the classic example of a WWII-phile. I can sit and watch WWII footage on the military channel endlessly.

If you look up Antony Sutton on the internet, you’ll begin to find out things that were never taught to you in history class.

Our real anger should be at the real instigators.

And they’re still in business. And they run most of the world, certainly America.

International banking does not make me proud, it makes me sick. And yet the temptation is always there to just give in and go into business with them. Just say people won’t listen anyway, they deserve what they get. But in truth, IB is a great evil that has risen up against us, slowly enslaving us to them in debt - by simply offering us material things and immorality. We worship our idols instead of worshiping God, so we take up this offer. Time to face facts, get right with God, and clean our house of this evil.

IMHO...
