Hello, hello, hello, hello, John Mason. How's everybody? Hope you're all well. Coming up this Monday is Memorial Day, where we as we should and must pay our respects to those in our armed forces who have given their lives for their country in combat. Sure, we'll let's enjoy the beer and the grill and the hot dogs and all. But let's not forget what the day is about. Honoring our military dead. We have to do this. Do not see fit to show any respect to our military or anybody in it or who was in it. I'm thinking now of the incident where FBI director Cash Patel, where I did dig this guy up, went scuba diving or snorkeling, whatever, around the wreckage of the USS Arizona. That is in the same USS Arizona, which on December 7th, 1941, the Pearl Harbor attack was the USS Arizona was sunk with everybody on board. Over 500 Marines and sailors. And swimming around that area is prohibited. But Cash Patel and the rest of the uh Trump Mafia act act like the law doesn't apply to them. So one as this quote by one Marine who whose job it was to go underwater to um to plant the plant the remains of those service members who survived Pearl Harbor inside of the Arizona. He compared it to holding a bachelor party in a church. Desecration. And then of course, we have a commander-in-chief who refer to our our military personnel, like particularly the Marines, who are buried in in the belt in the Bolo Wood Cemetery in close to Paris, as suckers and losers. And he didn't want to step out of the helicopter to pay pay them his respects because it was rainy and his hair might guess messed up. He's messed up, but this is another story. And a guy who sees he's a guy who sees no value in a thing that uh doesn't lie in his pockets. And I remember all too well last year at his birthday, he thought I could try to emulate the those magnificent Goose Steppe uh parades uh down Moscow and Paris and North Korea. Forgive me, France, where the troops and the armored vehicles march in honor of the glorious leader. And he used our military as a prop for a stage production in his honor. And in his entourage, like Hagzeth and the rest of his uh regime, they they sat there in bleachers looking kind of bored, and the bleachers were pretty thin, and the troops marched way out of step. I mean, I'm no drill sergeant, but they were they were not in step. They were way out of step. Of course, I accept I interpret it as a rather passive as uh passive aggressive form of uh resist protest against this this uh person who has no respect for the troops. And of course we have Pete Higgs who who is utilizing the military to show what a big bag he man he is. It's all about him hauling all the generals and admirals from all over the world to Quantico to lecture them about fighting wars. I mean, these are men and women who have men and women who have uh decades and decades of war fighting experience, and he's gonna he's gonna teach them about how to be crazy killers. And Higgs is the same one who tried to white out, I use the term literally, any mention of people of color serving in the military, women serving in the military, LGBTQ people serving in the military as woke. Which means, of course, as I as I will say for the millionth time, woke means you're paying attention to what the fuck's going on. You see the problems all around you. You're paying attention to the racism and the sexism and the class conflict, and it's real. And he is trying to wipe out any mention of of the such people in our military. If you wipe out mention of them, people will conclude that they didn't contribute anything, they did not participate in the defense of the country. Whereas all these uh war fighters who who fought and die for their country, like uh like the black regiment from Massachusetts in the Civil War who fought at Fort Pillow, and I'm talking about the Buffalo soldiers in the West, and the Harlem Hell fighters in the First World War, and the Tuskegee Airmen in the Second World War, to name a few. They show their love to a country that did not love them back. And and and but see our our glorious commander in chief forgive me, he he's trying to he's all about uh glorifying himself, like with his ballroom and his uh triumphal arc, his triumphal arch, which is going to be facing Arlington National Cemetery. Where our valiant war did are buried. So, my friends, since our commander-in-chief and his uh cast of idiots will not will not pay a proper respect to our armed forces members who gave their lives for their country, it's up to us to do so. And and keep the fight going on the home front for to fight fascism in this country.
