Dreams for America and Humankind


Dreams we all have for we are humans first and in America we are Americans second. We dream of the freedoms, people like Eisenhower, Kennedy, Nixon, Carter and Regan and Clinton and Obama dream of. Dreams of a United States, filled with jobs, equality, hope, caring and sharing, and as Martin Luther King Jr. said where all men are indeed created equal no matter what color, race or nationality. Where people help one another and where we are not a me generation anymore but a we, generation fighting for the rights, the needs, and the peace of all Americans and human beings!

The dreams many of Americans have dreamt are of a peace-loving nation where all are treated equally, where all can work, live in faith and choice of religion, and have their fair share we all should have!. This nation was not built on a platform of have and have-nots, it was built on a platform of We, The People!

Dreams of each and every American, no matter what race, nationality, religion, color or anything else, all have the rights given to us by our ancestors. And no they weren’t always right in all they did and built, but they proceeded to create the greatest Republic in the history of the world. Where else can a man or woman, or child have the same opportunities as each other, have the same rights as each other and live in one melting pot, in peace and survive and prosper as we have as Americans?

As The Republican and Democratic Conventions are both coming to an end, we the people have a responsibility to choose the right man for the Presidency again. We also must choose his back up in a Vice President too. Team sports is how our country is run, if one goes down his back-up must be just as good. We need strength, we need understanding, we need honesty, we need truth, we need caring and most of all, we need leadership that can stand tall and defend us, and make America move ahead, not backwards or down a slope to oblivion.

Dreams my fellow Americans are not just for day-dreamers, they are for leaders, they are for people who care, they are for all to share!. We dream because we are human and we dream because we were built with hope, determination and skills to survive. We dream for the generations that will follow us and need our protection and knowledge and skills to survive and much more. We must give our next generations of Americans the protection, the skills, the education, the determination and the abilities to survive and prosper in a changing world that will try to knock America down and destroy us all. America shall and will survive, it will prosper, it will still have it’s melting pot of people and different ideas, it will crawl out of any monetary or financial hole we have been tossed into. We always have for the past 200 and some odd years, haven’t we?

As you dream, I dream and we all dream of a country and world of peace, prosperity, love and hope, and health, we should also look around and one day look down, at the ground we walk upon. Below each of us embedded in the earth and busy as each of us are, are the ants below us crawling, scurrying, and working to build their own world and homes like we are above them. In the end we are just the next level up from these insects, we scurry building homes, feeding one another, storing for future events and trying to steer clear of problems and trouble too. Like the ants below our feet, we step on every day and who have their own purpose on this planet, just like any other living creature, including us,, we fight to survive, to build and to take care of our own. It’s the drive to stay alive and have more that makes us human and who we are as people. Each of us, love our families, our siblings, and our country!. Let all make the dream of equality, jobs, a working economy, healthcare, and benefits for all, our priority, not for us, not for our personal gain folks, but for the future generations of Americans, our children, our grandchildren and so this Republic will remain the Greatest in the history of the world and all time! The dream will survive, it will remain, it will enable and it will come true!

History, Assassians, Wars and America


      History in America has many unusual things in it if you read it carefully. My interest has always been in the assassinations of Presidents and Political Figures. Why were they killed and we already believe we know by who.

       Motives are the question that should be asked  in American History the assassins seem to have no  concrete motives to kill the President or Political figures they did kill. Ever wonder why Booth killed Lincoln or Oswald killed Kennedy, or  Sirhan Sirhan killed Bobby Kennedy, or Ray shot Martin Luther King Jr.? Or why in Ancient History the romans killed Caesar or Cleopatra died a sudden death? Politics is why, and the voices that are raised in opposition or to make change get killed off by the established is why. Jesus was killed to stop his preaching of rules and laws and commandments no one understood. Each of these leaders got killed in their prime when their voices were clear, loud and attracting attention and distracting from a major opponents words and thoughts.

        Independent thinkers are killed off when their ideas and thoughts and words do not go with the majorities  wishes or interfere with the majorities ways. History shows that once a majority is flowing in one direction and one person tries to change that direction they get removed. Whether it is in anger, revenge, or for a political purpose it happens. Sadly, it doesn’t need to if people just communicate freely and above-board. Peaceful solutions are the best and longest lasting ones. We need more of them, not more violence and killing.

      Talking about killings and political problems, Afghanistan comes to mind every time. Someone please explain why America of all the countries in the world has to clean up their country and get our soldiers, sailors and Marines killed! It’s a senseless battle for position by sects that aren’t smart enough to run their own sect never mind a country. It’s an endless battle we fight to help a country that hates us being there, and would rather see us gone for what reason?

       Killing goes back to the olden days of yore so to say and no matter what the evil ones and the good ones die. Because in the end the good sacrifice themselves to stop the bad and we end up losing peaceful great leaders. Why?

        Sacrifice has been around forever in mankind’s world, and it is not worth it unless the principles and thoughts and ideas put forward are worth saving for all. Would we sacrifice ourselves for our children yes, for our country yes. for love yes, but why must we fight wars for someone else who doesn’t even give two damns about us as a country and people? 

       The killing of American military personnel in lands like Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Yemen or Africa is sad and worthless in the process of humanity. One nation can not keep sacrificing for other nations that care not if we do or don’t. I say to President Obama, Congress and Politicians all over America, bring our troops home, bring our weapons home and tools of war too. Spend the same time and money and effort you all spend protecting and defending and fixing and policing other nations, on fixing our economy, our job markets, the trade agreements that are killing us and Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare,Health Care.the Postal Service, and what helps America. We are not the police force for the world anymore, we have our own troubles here at home, it is time America fixes itself and lets other nations do the same for themselves too.

Two Kennedys, One King Jr. . and More!


      Assassinations, they happened in big numbers in the 1960’s in America! We all know of John Fitzgerald Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., and Robert Kennedy too, but do we know how many of these great leaders were killed by conspiracies, to stop their climbs to the stop or their movements? We do now and shall forever more.

       John Kennedy was not killed by a lone assassin nor was Robert or Martin, they were killed by conspiracies that rocked America and the world. Taken down by bullets of more than one person’s involvement and two out of the three by more than one shooter. Why, simple, the people found these men leaders who they could follow to better the world and others found them radicals they couldn’t believe in or threats to their things happening. That is the purpose of these things, Assassins are meant to stop movements and people from becoming too big, and their followings too.

       Recently a woman has come forth in The Robert Kennedy assassination and said it more than once there were more than 8 shots fired in the kitchen in LA that day in 1968. She was there, she was an eye-witness who saw and heard the shots, the tape reveals she is telling the truth for 13 shots are heard on the only audio tape of the moment. Like his brother before him Robert Kennedy had a vision for America and a want to clean it up and take out corruption too. He was shot to prevent him from running rapid over crime and it’s organizations as well as to stop his rise to the Presidency.  Sad isn’t it how Americans kill the leaders that are doing good because they fear them. History has many examples of it too.

      James Garfield shot and died, from not the right medical treatment, Abraham Lincoln shot by Booth, Kennedy shot by Oswald they say, but really shot by at least three shooters, Martin Luther King Jr. a man preaching peace and justice and freedom, shot by a crazy man, who did not work alone, and then Robert Kennedy shot by Sirhan Sirhan and another in the kitchen in LA in 1968. Victims of believing they could make a difference in America and in the world shot down by extremists and people with different platforms to advance.

         In the 1970’s investigations were the thing to do in these cases, and  committees and commissions did them. Each time the murders of the two Kennedy Brothers and Martin Luther King Jr. are opened and reviewed the conclusion is the same conspiracies existed to stop these men from getting power in America and the world , sad isn’t it? I mean we grow the leaders, we help them become the leaders they are and then when they get so big they look like they can make a difference someone comes along and kills them all. You can blame Organized crime, lone nuts, crazy people, or you can look at the logic behind it and see, all of these men were feared for the places they could take America and the world for the positions they represented, by people involved in positions for the opposition, yes it is covered up and hidden, but no one assassinates anyone without a reason, it just doesn’t happen that way.

       The Kennedy Assassination and parts of its paper work and files and more are still sealed in Washington and  I am talking John’s death, till at least 2030 or further. When people ask for the information they get redacted documents hiding information, why?  The bottom line is the Government is withholding this information on the grounds it will expose the lack of effort to find the real killers and who really did it.

       Protect us yes, hide the truth and the facts no, we need a new set of lawmakers who can stand up in Washington, and get the information released and the truth told to all Americans and the World, the only way to save America’s future is not to hide its past mistakes and nuts, but to reveal it all and prevent it all from happening again!

Trayvon Martin, Justice


Lets discuss something, I find a problem with America, its media arm so to say. As we all know, media is going electric data route like all things these day, which to me is fine if it happens. On the other hand, magazines are dying out because of the price raises of them, these days and the average income of the American Household.

         Television is today the ruler of the media age, but for how long  with some of its bias views of issues and people. Almost every story is colored by some bias and more, stories that flash across CNN, Fox, and more all are colored by the stations political lean, or the newscasters view on a personal basis Some are pushed by racist announcers and newscaster while others do it out of fear for their jobs, and the racist comments allowed and the actions of certain people can cause great harm to America.

       Trayvon’s case, may have been a crime, or it may have been what Zimmerman said it was? Only time and a full and fair investigation can prove that.  The New Black Panthers have no business in this and will only make it a larger issue, and they have no business in putting a bounty on a man’s head. Violence will only beget violence Martin Luther King said and I agree. We must all live in America no matter the color, nationality, race we may be, it is a Republic not a Communistic country, nor do we allow such tactics here.

       The Trayvon Martin Case has parents of all colors, nationalities and races, protecting their own children and working overtime to keep them safe now. This case does not affect just blacks, it affects all races and colors in America. Why was a man who is a volunteer for a block watch team carrying a weapon that was fully loaded? How can anyone say a child of seventeen attacked this full-grown man, after being followed by him causing his own death? Isn’t a full-grown man the size of George Zimmerman big enough to stop a seventeen year old from attacking him without a gun? Many questions come up in the case and I am sure given the time, the truth shall come out if legal authorities are allowed to do their job. The New Black Panthers aren’t needed here in this case, nor wanted by the Martin’s, Trayvon’s family. They don’t want revenge, they want justice is all and the Justice System needs time to do its job.

        Like all Americans and parents around the world, we empathize with the Martin family on their lost, and feel the pain of it. The color of our skin does not matter it is a child that is killed and gone, we all feel the same. Yet groups like The New Black Panthers come out and put a bounty on a man’s head and talk like they will kill him if they can. We don’t need organizations like the New Black Panthers, or any others who speak of an eye for an eye as a solution. What we need is peaceful solutions and a country united in finding the truth.

America-Fate or Destiny?


      Can we as people change who we are and what is deemed as Destiny in this World we live in? Is there a way to control what happens each day to each of us and make it all work out right, or does fate and destiny control what is to come and happen?

          Science would say there is no such thing as fate or destiny, we control our own futures by the actions we do each and every moment we are alive. But is that true or isn’t it is the real question. STop and think just through American History, what could or would be different if we controlled our own futures.

        Would George Washington have been our First President? MOre than likely not, due to his war record alone. He was a smart man who did many things correctly, but he didn’t win a battle in war for our Independence until the end.

           What of Thomas Jefferson, a man who wrote the Constitution of the United States, yet had faults himself of owning slaves and loving one also. His faults gave birth to the Declaration if Independence and more. He expanded America and gave us hopes for the future but, he was no more perfect than you or I.

       Benjamin Franklin not an American President, but a genius in his own right, who invented spectacles, electricity, wrote papers and books and guided the American Revolution by going to France and more. Ben gave up much to be who he was , including his own son and wife in the end, so America could be here.

       As History goes on we have many  who sacrificed and became Presidents, died because they believed in the ideal that became America and more. John Henry,Abe Lincoln, Sam Adams,James Garfield, the Roosevelts, Kennedys, and Martin Luther King JR.. Each man, woman or child who stood for the freedoms and rights all have today in America deserves to be remembered and honored in their own ways. It is the contributions of each individual, that raises the United States each day to the high position we hold in World and humanity, and societies. It’s a gift America can teach the world, that if we the people can stand united and contribute, communicate and make what is America, then so can others do the same for themselves.

        This though brings us back to fates, destinies and what can be versus what is and what may be. If we look back in World History, we have the Aztecs, The Incas, The Romans and more, all who rose to great positions of power and strength, to tumble back down into heaps and destruction. Over confidence in their knowledge and positions of power, caused collapses of great civilizations on this planet. America, and specifically the United States, needs not to get too cocky or pushy, or overbearing, or we too shall tumble from the ranks of the best civilizations of the world.

      I must remind Americans, first and foremost, before you all forget, it took all nationalities, all colors, all races to form and make what is America today. The color of your skin means nothing, the nationality you were born with is nice but again means nothing in the end, what unites all here is one thing and one thing only, Freedom, Democracy,the right to choose your own education and religion too. America is great and the best in the world, not because we say so, but because it is inevitable with so many participating in this great Republic experiment the forefathers came up with, the result is here to see.

       So whether it is Fate, or Destiny, we shall never ever fully know, yet there is one thing the World shall always know,and pay witness to, is, The United States is here and has been now for over 200 years and counting still. When the time comes that America crumbles or falls from its position in societies in the world, there shall always be that one shinning moment, like Kennedy said, Called America.

Assasinations/ Mysteries


      As time has gone on many mysteries and theories about events in real life continue to come about and discussed. assassinations of American Presidents is always a topic among many, who make up theories and conspiracies and then tell their tales. We all know many of the more famous ones, current times we all discuss what happened to the Kennedy Brothers John and Robert. What happened to Martin Luther King Jr., who really killed these famous men who were affecting the American scene and the world? The wonder of did they investigate fully enough, did the Government and Agencies involved, tell us the truth, or did they hide facts?

     Since we are in an Election Year and getting ready to elect a new President or Reelect the one we have, what of the ones before this? What of the Presidents shot and killed, assassinated and forgotten maybe?. Medical science may have been able to save at least one, if it had been up to speed as we all know, President James Garfield.  President Lincoln died from a serious gun shot would to his head by Booth, but did the legal authorities really get Booth in that barn?. As the years went by, we had many attempts to kill Presidents, but, John Kennedy was indeed shot and killed and we all believe it was Lee Harvey Oswald, right? At least that is what all the testimony says and what was released by our Government. Martin Luther King Jr. was shot also, again a lone assassin did it right? Robert F. Kennedy another one shot dead in a LA. Kitchen in a hotel, by a lone assassin correct?. Well is it all correct or is there conspiracies throughout American History to eliminate certain people due to fear of what they can do by their voices and actions?

      I read history as presented in history books, and find many things interesting and keeping my attention, but none more than the assassinations of people important in American History  who could have made big differences for America and the world. As these men, grew more important to people, suddenly, they are removed from the world stage and things slide back a bit to where it is comfortable for the world to go on.

       The Kennedy Brothers, I can fully discuss their assassinations because I studied them and they were in my lifetimes as was Martin Luther King Jr.. Each of these men were killed under suspicious circumstances and taken out for political reasons beyond a doubt.  Each taken out by a lone assassin who just happened to be able to do the murders by being in the right place?

    Yet historic facts do not align properly for the facts to really be true. President John Kennedy‘s assassin Lee Harvey Oswald didn’t have the marksmanship skills to pull off the shot he is given credit for, the audio tapes of November 22, 1963, prove there were at least four shots.

       Robert Kennedy’s assassian  claimed and the audio and video tapes confirm at least 8 shots in the kitchen in that LA Hotel, why? Martin Luther King Jr’s assassin said it himself, there was no way he could have committed the assassination without help. So why were these events in American history, so, sudden and strong with the effects afterwards?.

        Each of these three individuals led the people down a path of correcting what was currently wrong with the society we live in. Plus each of them had flaws also, but in the end, each comes up in history as a hero to the people.  Amazingly,  three men in history during one decade gone, who were leaders and valuable to the world.  I wonder today, as I have since November 22, 1963, when I was in Elementary School and only 7 years old,and saw President Kennedy shot on television, why and who really did this? Who started this decade long killing spree of Americans, and got away with it for real?

         Who really benefitted from these killings and assassinations? What did they accomplish by getting these three individuals killed and out-of-the-way and why? And who really would benefit, from it all?

        American History shows me a few things, JFK’s murder, changed some courses in American history beyond belief. It is like a domino effect over the sixties, if you examine it closely.  Plus so many wanted him dead for different reasons, as suggested by books and newspaper articles. You have LBJ, you have the Mob, you have The Cubans, and more, each with a  solid reason to want him removed. RFK same thing politics and legal antics led to his death in 1968. Martin Luther King was killed for his racial views, his calls for equality and his womanizing ways. We all know the truth, yet history depicts each in its own way and light, why?

        When you look back at these killings who really benefitted? The answers may surprise the world and Americans everywhere! In JFK’s instance, take a look as who followed him into office, the Warren Commission members, and the real results of it all. Mentioned but never pointed at are two American Presidents at least who followed Kennedy, Gerald Ford and Richard Nixon.  Amazing isn’t it how one was Kennedy’s nemesis and became President five years after his death, and the Second Ford became President when Nixon fell!.

      So I talk President Kennedy’s death because I studied it, it affected me, it affected my life, my history my vision of America. Did the killings of these three men affect yours and how?  And will America ever be given the full truths of these assassinations and how they were committed and why, and what effect will it have in the end on world and American history?
