[ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast begin Show intro]

Welcome to ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast aka CTP in association with TheLibertyBeacon.com and I am your host Joseph M Lenard and that's L E N A R D   CTP is your no muss no fuss just me you And occasional guest type podcast as Graham Norton would say let's get on with the show 

[ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast - Segment 1] 


JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  Welcome back to constitutionalist politics podcast everyone. Welcome to the show with Ciaran Bitchu, Brightian Rumble YouTube at Taylor Detroit. Video channel see the behind the scenes. You can see fellow glasses wearer. William R. Douglas. Welcome
WILLIAM R DOUGLAS:  to the show William. How are you today? Joseph I'm fantastic I trust you are as well I love your shirt. Oh thank you. I love your background image and I thank you
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  for the opportunity to come on your show. Yeah I'm glad to have you and for the benefit of the transcript or the audio I'm wearing another one of my usual kind of US flag inspired attire and I say US flag inspired because there's this thing called the US flag. No I'm not violating this is an artistic inspired rendition inspired by the flag it's not Z flag it is not a violation and you can see William's already yeah yeah William has a lot of his book a flag yeah you could see on hold up the whole book frame William for those looking behind the scenes hold up the book again the sum of all our anger civil war to William R. Douglas which just how weird my brain works so the first question well yeah before I ask about your background which is usually the first background but since I got it in my mind now my first the way my brain works the first thing that came to my mind was Tom Clancy the sum of all fears did that inspire this book title at all
WILLIAM R DOUGLAS:  or is it just coincidental? Well certainly a tip of the hand to a literary giant time Clancy I messed around with a couple of different titles and when I thought about you know the sum tone of all the book certainly thought of Clancy's title but obviously the story is completely different and you know adding two words to it makes it a totally different story like this I check you can't copyright the sum of all correct you cannot you cannot copyright a title
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  you cannot copyright a phrase you can trademark a phrase like I have Cristo Toussaint is indeed trademarked and after 13 months finally the slow asses in DC of course don't do the job you legally can do and serve us people so 13 months later I finally got a now it's meant yes it's been officially trademarked but but when it comes to unconstitutional stuff they want the
WILLIAM R DOUGLAS:  metal and oh they're right on that yeah anyway they say tossed around ideas about the title and I started using you know that phrase of some of all are anger the more I thought about it I said you know this is absolutely perfect because it sums up exactly what is going on in the country now the sum of all our anger is just you know in a place we've never seen before in our lifetime it
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  certainly makes sense so let's backtrack and go to what the first question normally is and should have been tell us about William our Douglas where were you born where are you now all those gory details right how much time and prison did you
WILLIAM R DOUGLAS:  serve and depends what you consider prison no so I'm I'm a Chicago native my whole life out in the suburbs I live northwest of Chicago by an hour pretty close to Wisconsin state line married I have six kids he created kids a nice great kid on the way we live a small town in the Kenry Illinois population 27,000 and this is my second book so my first book came out in 2021 it was recognized by a couple of fairly prominent book award contest as a finalist readers favorite and then also the independent author network that book was called the death and resurrection of baseball this book obviously nothing new in baseball so this book I started writing last August or there abouts and finished it in April and went through the whole editing process and here we are July 1st it was published so but back to me I'm a long time IT person been involved in IT field since 1980s same with me same with me yeah you for such great companies as EDS you know Ross perot's old company more business forums IBM and Sears I had a very long still with Walgreens almost 20 years in their corporate IT department it currently I
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  word for the Bowie company interesting it of the last three things came to mind last first you mentioned Sears I'm former Kmart IT until Sears and Kmart decided to screw us all merge and turn into a real estate company because it was more profitable short term to sell everything off and it was to operate as retail the second thing back going backwards I wrote down a note Nick Henry Illinois unlike Fort McHenry which my care strikes coming soon to sit in here you is under the McHenry press label from Fort McHenry and you know the Star Spangled Banner said that the patriotic line of books through McHenry press now and then I like what you said about it depends on what you consider prison that immediately popped in my head out do you remember the Christian rock group creed oh yeah they had a song my own prison right so yeah I've been serving life right huh huh huh huh right the sum of all our anger Civil War 2.0 is fiction whereas my friend Mike Gardner aka Savage to Savage Dunn filter American political warfare modern Civil War talks of real issue divisions and current cold Civil War we hope won't go hot now I know you quasi put current issues in kind of like my terror strikes book is historical fiction in a way years is historical fiction also because you use modern issues to as fodder as to how they could spark the fictional story yes
WILLIAM R DOUGLAS:  exactly exactly so I am a history buff and there's some history woven in there pointing back to you know the first Civil War and then there's also you know recent news stories that are woven in there and historically and and the themes in particular are taken and woven into the story and you know allowed to percolate for another 35 plus years and and left on altered unfortunately we have at least in the book time second occurrence of a conflict in American soil yeah I don't
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  do a scripted show but I did write some notes people could see me waving it on the behind the scenes video so these are kind of now in random order as I jotted no cheers to a marker question I wanted to ask as a fellow author I'm curious I saw your book is also in hardcover almost nobody does that anymore I'm curious why you felt a hardcover edition was important you know I know
WILLIAM R DOUGLAS:  it's a really hardcore book of files they look they like a hardcover so it will be out in August it's not quite out yet but it'll be out in August so oh yeah I admittedly on the first book and then you know there weren't a lot of a lot of copies of hardcover sold most of them were paperback and then obviously Kindle or e-books and then trailing last was was the paperback so I mean out of the hardcover so and like yeah you know some people still like the
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  hardcover so it'll be out in August yeah and then I also jotted down because again being a fellow author I look for things that maybe an average reader just glosses over and yours like like you dedicated your book to your wife Laurie family and friends and you also like now it's John Geist your editor and Brenda Drake life is that how it's pronounced who did the cover do you have a personal connection to them or are they just hires or you know
WILLIAM R DOUGLAS:  John no I just recently kind of clean with John via Upwork.com I the editor that I had for the first book was not available to take down the second project so I got their look around I found John via Upwork Brenda she I had two book covers with the baseball book one I worked with a guy at Seattle and I was pretty insistent I wanted this one particular image on the cover of the book so he had to work around that and then at the end of the day after I don't know a couple months or so realized I had made a mistake and so I found a graphic artist to conceptualize a redesign of the first book cover and she she hit it out of the part no pun intended so but so I I I I can't take to her for the second project as she came up with this book which by the way how do you like the book cover oh I love it I think it's a
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  very good design I like that and I because I spent three months me and the Henry press aka also aluma fi media Michael over there created the Henry press for my book as the first on his like new subsidiary under aluma fi media for a patriot line of books and yeah we with Lisa we were mainly Michael went around for like three months arguing about my terror strikes cover because I had envisioned I wanted something unique and different people in publishing don't like unique and different they like predictable right they like well we've always done it this way what you know let's do it that way I was wrong this box this part where I had envisioned four different quadrants with different imagery to represent different aspects of the book in each quadrant well after arguing when arguing I gave in that wasn't grounded I felt needed it wasn't a hill to die on right but the majority of the main images I felt needed to be in there were incorporated in the shadowy kind of sub images of my cover so yeah I get it and sometimes we are not our own best advocate when it comes to a cover right what someone else says well this will really bring eyes to your book and unlike Martin Luther King Jr. saying we need to judge each other on content right not our cover books do get judged by their cover you don't have a good cover they're not picking it up to look at anything else so you got to have a good cover and so so I definitely get that and another thing before I forget just kind of going off into La Field to some of all fears clients and I mentioned at the top your book has nothing I'm assuming I don't know to do with that Civil War Christian Dunst
WILLIAM R DOUGLAS:  movie that's how no it absolutely not it takes quite an opposite text so I don't know if you saw all the Civil War movie in the spring I did but I didn't see it until after I had written the last word of the manuscript I didn't want to have it influenced me at all right so I saw the movie it was very disturbing on several levels which I won't spoil it I would encourage people to see it although one thing I will say is that it's very clear to me at least watching the movie that it wasn't a kind of an underhanded attack against conservatives and they seem to allude that that extremists have taken over the White House and most of the country and that and that the last two holdouts California and Texas combined their military might and come to the rescue so yeah there's a lot of disturbing elements in there I think the the biggest one was seeing the actual you know modern weaponry combat footage on American soil that was very jarring of course it's in my book in great detail obviously but but a different completely different storyline but it was very unnerving to see that depicted yeah I saw the first 20 minutes
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  I'm a Christian Dunst fan so I mainly saw it because of her I saw this for 20 minutes I walked out I just I didn't like the way it was presented I just didn't like the kind of the story perspective through these journalists or supposed journalists reporters at the time of war correspondence if you will I just did one day I will want to come down screaming and I could see it for free I will probably force myself to watch the rest of it because yes like you said I expected it to be a usual woke attack on conservatives Hollywood type film so I felt I needed to see it so I could speak intelligently on it unlike a lot of people like this completely unrelated like people talking about the Barbie movie who didn't see the Barbie movie which was actually a pretty even-handed and fun movie and attacked both left and right and kind of made fun of everything like you know I don't want to give spoiler on that but it attacked the woke d.i. in a sense in the boardroom the hypocrisy right like all the males in the boardroom saying we're feminist company we have a woman janitor it's like that's hilarious people that is hilarious and it is great that they you know no sacred cows they kind yeah it was more leftist than you know right-side humor but if there were no sacred cows they wouldn't have everything but of course people who don't see the movie attack it based on their assumptions at any rate let me get back to my notes like I said I don't like to script but once I saw your book and knew I could have you honest and I got to write down some notes because I want to make sure to ask you about certain things like chapter one again not to get spoilers here I don't want you to give spoilers I want people to buy the book but we want to intrigue chapter one begins in the future and you already alluded to that to a degree we may not have that much time your oh I don't want to say when the first chapter begins but yeah the time frame that could be less it could be more uh the fear is we may have very little time to write to ship
WILLIAM R DOUGLAS:  and heal our wounds right mm-hmm yeah well we can talk about the time because it's on the back of the book cover it talks about oh okay so the book book time the first chapter starts in January of 2061 and what has happened is that the um prior to the start of the story a few few years earlier two major things that have happened three things really the electoral college has been abolished the supreme course been stacked there's now 13 justices instead of nine the more most important of all is that a socialist wave is going up and down both coasts so the west coast east coast and become very heavily socialist no that could never happen that's not like we're living that now so what happens is because the electoral college is gone well the middle of the country goes gets kind of messed up that right so so uh by popular vote the first ever openly socialist president comes to be elected and is inaugurated in January of 2061 it's a prior to inauguration story starts actually in texas and uh texas has become at that time uh even though it's it's uh economically powerful now and politically powerful uh 35 years from now texas becomes extremely powerful uh as you know there's an ongoing flight of talent in capital to texas right now but all that uh obviously adds to their luster and uh their power and uh but they become even more conservative than it is now and uh they don't like what has happened to the country and they're like you know what we're strong enough we're just going to again become our own nation is uh recall texas's early history in the middle and 19th century texas started out as a republic after winning their war of independence against mexico and so the story starts with the new uh president of the republican texas who was formally just a few weeks ago the governor of the scheme of texas but now they've declared their independence they're sovereign and uh he's greatly concerned about what's going to happen in the in the immediate future yeah all right well i i i don't want to give too many spoilers
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  i think that's enough of the keys to get people interested so let's let's share okay snip that with the scissors right there we'll do that but let's jump ahead to chapter four but i'm going to kind of take you off out of the book chapter four is called choosing sides but putting the book aside for general discussion rather than blue states blue blue red states blue and red it's really the divide blue and red counties because there's a lot of blue counties in red states and vice versa like california there are red counties very solid red conservative counties if so if something happens like a civil war if happens may not be actual states versus states but in trust state enclaves against others in same states states let alone interstate battling addressing addressing that or my conjecture alone or can touch on give spoilers if you really really want but i'm trying to avoid that you go about in the book if willing to give spoilers you know because really again we're not blue red state we're blue red county and the inter in trust state battles makes the state blue or red as we define them
WILLIAM R DOUGLAS:  yeah well i'll give you an example so the state of Illinois which has been in the hands of democratic state legislature the governorship and and of course mainly because of Chicago correct of course it's coddle a bulwark of the democratic party for generations actually
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  which is cook county cook county making my point about the county the county within state yep
WILLIAM R DOUGLAS:  yeah but uh i i think you know at least in my story like to start out with whoever controls the state politically uh in the capital and the major cities uh at least initially has control over the entire state and their national guard correct correct in their national guard it's so honestly as you rightfully point out uh there are counties that are deeply red counties that are deeply blue counties that are purple and i think eventually if you know god forbid there's there were to be a conflict you would see things begin to devolve down to these you know county levels uh i know there's a uh a group out west of county sheriffs that are constitutionalists and they have their own group and you know they're they're very clear in their statements that they will preserve and protect and defend the constitution and install all enemies foreign domestic and that very phrase is used uh in the book as well quite frequently so um but yeah initially especially in the book there's a there's a big moment of decision where the states have to decide what side they want they're going to fall on either either to go down this path of socialism or to continue to hold out it's been labeled the old way which would be our constitutional
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  republic how i like that yeah that's very good that's very good i'm glad you you've laid it out succinctly uh uh a good under the underlying basis of how that comes about well as a fellow author and writer i want to go kind of more technical here and hopefully don't lose the audience but because i had a bad review on my care strike book because the person i didn't like it there was enough dialogue it's like uh well i never said anywhere it was a dialogue to have the book you made an assumption that's your preference uh and i had another person kind of give a counter review to the reviewer saying well that ain't his fault he made a bad assumption you know one of the substance of the book but that leads me to indeed ask whereas i'm more narrative style writer you indeed uh like angel jia kamo if i'm pronouncing pronouncing her name and right and uh uh who does a military book uh oh i'm drawing a blank now on it's a whole series ah you can look her up anyway she's mentioned in my how to write a book and get a published tips and techniques uh but at any rate i'm going down this road because indeed you're more indeed of a dialogue writer as a driver of the story it was that by choice or that's just kind
WILLIAM R DOUGLAS:  of how you are yeah i've practiced the way i am so um i do like to you know often i'll start out a chapter with a with a with a narrative you know kind of setting the stage for the chapter and then get into the dialogue so um one thing that i wanted to do with this story was i didn't wanted to have it be narrowly focused on a couple of people and you see that in the civil horror movie we talked about a few moments ago um i wanted this to be kind of a kind of a broad brushstroke kind of an epic almost uh and if you recall the movie giddy's bird from uh it came not back in the early 90s but uh this had you know this has something to do with giddy's bird but i just the the feel of giddy's bird the scope of it the sheer number of characters you know you see that in the longest day as well the sheer number of characters and their their various involvement in their various pieces of the puzzle that make up the story and uh so i wanted to do something similar i you know there's there's obviously characters on both sides of the aisle depicting the story the especially president syrus who's a news the socialist in the the antagonist of the story and then uh a hero in of the story is governor mary which field the governor of oklahoma in the year 2061 and she's a very conservative dieherd uh constitutionalist and so and then there are other characters so in the whole unveiling of the plot line as it goes along as you read the story art uh you come into contact with with various characters from all different sides civilian and military uh bishop king is a major character in the story and his son disjawn and um you know other generals and come into play and politicians and because you talk about you know god forbid a second civil war american style i mean it wouldn't just be just one individual or a small group of individual you would have this this broad spectrum of all the all the major players that would be involved in
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  such a nightmare well even our original revolutionary why i mean we do think in terms of washington and jefferson and benedictonald that but i mean you look at the signers of the declaration yeah they were few but that doesn't tell the whole story of the thousands and thousands uh although yes indeed it's like in germany it is said only like seven percent of german's were indeed nazi socies right but look how that turned out right in our revolutionary war it is said it was really a pretty indeed small percentage of our society that really felt uh the firmness of the conviction to break away but yet the small amount prevailed but yeah it isn't 50 people it's a whole lot of other people and you tried to portray that that grander scope but still indeed it is still a small number of characters that really drive and pull other people into the process now also staying on an author technical kind of ask that you didn't have someone right of four words there's no afterword however you have an author thought section which i thought was really wonderful and unique and you and i are kind of alike in this that my terror strikes book being historical fiction i have a section that i give additional links to indeed current event stories so that you can the book could have been 800 pages i only wanted it to be 250 so it could be affordable but here are additional things you can look at kind of like on a dvd director's cut other materials you can look at and you have storyline touchpoint links also so we kind of are both on that same wavelength there give us the genesis and the thought behind that again i
WILLIAM R DOUGLAS:  were on that same page of course doing that yeah so the author thoughts part at the end of the book is really just obviously some expect or my personal thoughts but more uh more has to do with the fact that you know among one of the goals of the novel is to have it serve as a deterrent by getting all americans regardless of their political persuasion to take a step back and say you know how do we avoid anything even remotely approaching this scenario and so there's lessons there um the other thing would be um you know the the story touchpoints i was very very cautious that when i put those in there i wanted to use uh new sources other than fox news i mean i like fox news about fox news fan but i wanted the book to have brought appeal but so i chose other uh you know mainstream media sources to put in the back of the book that references either very closely or loosely some of the some of the uh parts of the plot and um you know one thing uh one of the more telling ones was this new york times opinion piece by two law professors one from harvard one from yale the this new york times opinion piece where they they write this joint article saying that the Constitution is broke it can't be fixed so like what oh like wow that was from fox that was in new york times and so i put that in there for uh again these other non-fox news sources uh to highlight that these stories aren't just you know tambrications of some conservative media out that these are real stories and they're out there but a lot of people miss them because a lot of you don't really get their news anymore from news sources they can't from you know facebook old show media yes yes alternative quote unquote news sources and um so those are in there very poorly uh you know on a kindle version it's obviously convenient because you can just click the link and it will take you right to it with a paperback version you would just have to type in the uh the story uh heading that uh is in the back of the book and put it in quotes in google your favorite
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  search engine yeah i i cheat yeah i cheat a bit i use the google used to have the link shortner right but they don't offer that anymore i am a paid user of tiny url.com yeah there i know links shortner and when and where possible i try to in the book it's terastriction others in my christianist politics books also there are cross reference links in there if i use tiny url.com to try to make links shorter for people to get to things but i like that concept author thought in my next sectional book i may steal that as a section matter yeah let me let me let me tell you
WILLIAM R DOUGLAS:  share two things with your with your listening audience uh regarding the touch points articles that are in the back of the book so i just do two of them but they're very important was because they're very uh they appear very importantly in the novel the first one from april 11th new york post seattle dance squad says they were told american flag shirts made audience members feel triggered and unsafe and this this wasn't uh an event in seattle uh in this uh dance squad was told they had to hide their shirts well obviously you see to cover the book you see the american flag in the right and you see this weird looking flag on the lower left and so uh that story ties in directly with uh the opening chapter the book and also the book cover so second story uh and the chicago tribune from april the 10th this year university of waskatson students call for removal of abraham leeckin statue on maddison campus now think about that one right dr king speaks on the steps of the leeckin memorial in 1963 um and so you have you know the hero of the civil war president leeckin but for some reason now he's on the outs with with the extreme left and you want to take his statue down you know by the way a state that was a free state so
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  yeah yeah oh i hear you it's the same thing to their attack in jefferson and and david barton a great historian has a book dedicated just on the idiocy and stupidity and the sliming the smearing of jefferson yeah like the 1619 project made up out of whole cloth spin barton goes into the actual evidence factual and lots of links to source to it to prove to you he's telling you the reality of jefferson yes he did their slaves that's a fact but the the rest of it made up in of you know smear attacks out of that to just credit jefferson uh his great book i recommend that but author thoughts i think are important and like in my next fictional book indeed i made you author thoughts and one of the first things will be this was a fictional book people make assumptions right just because you have a character say something in the book doesn't mean that they are you right like i get that all the time my characters are fictional they take uh arbitrary stances apart from some of what would be my stance to make the book interesting right if it's all one thought it's all you're thinking it isn't a good read it would be rather boring or i think i saw somebody go buy in the background there so let's start to wrap it up uh i do want to go to your death and resurrection of baseball because that ties well with me and my show as i have a baseball sub threat in my tears frightful through it all so that was another aspect of you was that oh i like this guy already because yes because of course coming out of 9-11 uh george w bush in that pitch at yankie's game signal to the planet you didn't win we are returning to as much normalcy as we can so i i do more on baseball but that was the main emphasis of why well there's got to be a baseball threat in this terrorism book because of that and uh and i saw again your death and resurrection of baseball what was your impetus to write that just a baseball fan or yeah i've
WILLIAM R DOUGLAS:  been a baseball fan all my life uh grew up playing sand lap ball in the 60s and that's where i really to hone my skills playing the sport i still play i i play on a money night shirts up all the exploring i'm 65 years old so but um i had read a story oh cast this has to me probably like 15 years ago because i'm a civil war buff as well as a world war two buff and uh i was really Australian about the civil war and games that kids used to play before the surf first of war that that became extinct i thought oh it's interesting and um it's just kind of kind of stuck in my my gray matter and i started hearing and reading and experiencing the decline in the popularity of baseball you know and i'd always been challenged oh you you write pretty good you should write a book so uh i just had this thought come to me one day what would happen if you know a major sport like baseball were to die what would that be like and you know how would it be found again and so that that set me on a path to uh writing my first novel the death and resurrection of baseball echoes from distant past and uh it's a story about a 12 year old boy all hundred years after the end of a second civil war who rediscovers are relevant with a tie back to baseball but he doesn't know it yet and it just uh uh sets off a chain of events uh that leads to him rediscovering the sport of baseball and reintroducing it back to america that's still healing from this horrible war from
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  a hundred years in the past so people could people could almost read it even though they came before they could almost read it as a sequel to the sum of all our angles of the war two you could it is a
WILLIAM R DOUGLAS:  loosely tied that the the civil war book is a very very loosely tied prequel to the baseball book so there there's two characters that are in the civil war book they can't mention in the baseball book and it's uh jackson and disjawn king so but uh the baseball books are very wholesome uh book it's meant for young adults on up that's gotten great reviews like i say it was recognized by a couple of book award contests so uh that the civil war book parental notice uh i would not have uh grammar or even middle school age kids reading this high school kids would be okay there is a a warning in the front though there is some language in the civil war book but there are no f-bombs nor is there any misuse of our lord's name i i do that in terror strikes too you know
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  you're talking terrorism you're talking military war on terror you'd expect a lot of f-bombs but i purposely clean there's one damn in the whole book because i wanted it to be all ages so indeed junior high could read it because they're being indoctrinated and not getting a lot of the history the historical aspect of my book which is why i wanted to make sure but yeah the language kind of makes it more realistic to today's environment but so i i really i have to say i really struggled
WILLIAM R DOUGLAS:  with what to do with that because like you talk about soldiers and he did combat and everybody else you know in the heat of what is going on the civilians you know and it's like well they're not gonna all sit around say oh fudge you know or or whatever but uh it's same time i didn't want to have it be something where it was just you know covered a cover it just fills it
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  oh it's too many comedians nowadays rely on f-bombs every other sentence and it's not humor it's not funny it's not creative it's just it's just purposely out there too uh so i was let me finish so
WILLIAM R DOUGLAS:  when i was doing the manuscript when i've come to that point i was i was literally putting an underbar in for a substitution because i was still undecided in my mind what am i going to do with this and so when the editor got it he's like what's with these underbars so i explained to him in my predicament and uh you know because i am a christ follower i'm a deacon in the church and and uh although i you know i'll full disclosure i'm guilty of using every every word that was in there that i didn't want to put in there me too me too i'm just a sinner saved by grace but uh uh he goes well you know you really had to put these in here because it makes it realistic and uh it's it's too weird just to have an underbar i thought about what if i have a black bar it's just this sensor but that's just seen corny uh so then i like i'll have a compromise you know i'm not gonna i'm not gonna put the f-bomb in there and i'm not gonna misuse our our lord's name and uh i i think it's a it was a good a good balance so it makes it makes the story real especially in the combat moments you know yeah and uh so but i did well i'm gonna put that
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  prayer in the heart of it yeah and that's why in terror strikes also i tried away from dialogue that was a way in a way to avoid using those words because indeed if there were a lot of dialogue you would expect to see it like especially in in the flashback chapter where there's a reference to vietnam and soldiers i would imagine there'd be a lot of cursing normally and then also i have my character address vulgarity and the use of quote unquote what we adopt or accept and consider swear words he says so that was indeed my compromise also so i address it and while avoiding it so let's wrap things up where people people can reach out to you i know author williamardduckles.com but do you have a wiki page or an i m d b page like somebody was kind enough to create for me i was so flattered i'm not sure on i on i m d b oh even though i was only in one local low key movie ever i've never been in a movie other than that as an extra where do
WILLIAM R DOUGLAS:  people find you other than author and then the best way is through author lee mark doggles.com there's a there's links to my social media presence as well there's links to the book sale on amazon and barns and novell and then you can just go to you know amazon and barns and let's look up the book title it's pretty easy to some of all our anger angle you will immediately find it so uh yeah you can kind of take me through uh to the website i've got an author uh little author page that's set up to amazon as well so yep as as should everyone who publishes
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  on amazon and as i say i'm not a basil fan but reality is reality 80 of all books are so amazon today you've got to be on amazon yeah absolutely absolutely all right well thank you william are douglas uh why did you close i go joseph emlynard as my author name because there is a joseph lennard that's also an author so i had to put my middle name in there was it a conscious decision or why are you using william are douglas or is it because william and douglas are too generic of a name you need to submit on it i'm just curious so it's
WILLIAM R DOUGLAS:  a pseudonym so my first name is douglas and my dad's name is william are so oh okay it has a nice ring okay um i'll make my real name uh i'll keep my privacy pressed yes yeah it's definitely a
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  pseudonym yeah yeah you you decided for whatever reasons and i get it uh i've been a public figure for a long time so i just use but as a public figure i have to use uh blocking software even on my home phone because i get yes right i get death threats so yeah i got to use a spam blocker to block you know the death threats and all that stuff too but i went with my real name but believe me i understand the desire for a known diploma to avoid some of that uh and uh so i i'm glad that popped in my head to ask there uh i didn't have that as a note to ask because it just last minute thought yeah so good so all right well thanks for joining the show i appreciate it you take care
WILLIAM R DOUGLAS:  god bless thanks for having you and chosen to spend a fun time thank you
JOSEPH M LENARD (HOST):  thank you

A Republic, if you can keep it…

"A Republic [but not just ANY Republic, a never fore created/seen one], if you can keep it" Ben Franklin....

From a Social-Media post/thread... It will make sense when you get to the "And all Republics are not created equal either" part.... Yes, WE ARE A REPUBLIC, and those trying to destroy it may pretend to be Anarchists but they are not they "pretend" to fool massholes that don't understand HISTORY nor THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM....


VIDEO (5m 54s): The difference between a Republic and a Democracy:

No, just because ANTIFA uses "Anarchist" tactics, does not mean they are ANTI-GOVT --- they actually want to over-throw CONSTITUTIONALLY LIMITED GOVT in USA to reign in FULL FASCISM... #FACTSmatter #WORDSmatter #HISTORYmatters
My response to someone Parroting the #ENEMEdia distortions...

Your premise is way off. You already buy in and parrot the Lib #ENEMEdia narrative.

Just because someone may use ANARCHIST labeled/defined/usual tactics, does not make them Anarchists!

 
The REAL Political Spectrum (despite Left attempts to rewrite History)...

The FAR RIGHT is indeed Anarchy ZERO GOVERNMENT, we are NOT that, we were NEVER intended to be that, but we flirted with a Government (under original Articles Of Confederation) that proved to "not be quite enough" and hence the "Constitution of the United States" then drafted and adopted instead -- to which people have been eroding our INDIVIDUAL AND STATE RIGHTS ever since toward Fascism because it is part of Human Nature, some are SHEEP and some seek DICTATORIAL AUTHORITY over others.

We, the USA, is a RIGHT SIDE OF SPECTRUM limited/small Govt operation (or, at least, that is how it was founded and supposed to be as THE SOVEREIGN STATES created the CONSTITUTIONALLY LIMITED FEDERAL GOVT (not the other way around) and was to retain THE ULTIMATE LOCAL AUTHORITY (destroyed more and more, and especially with the passage of 17A which made the US Senate that was (The States' body) as nothing more than another US House (directly elected by Citizen's) People's House - directly DESTROYING that important Check and Balance our Founders created.

Sadly, the usual trend is ever Leftward (the Overton-Window for those who wish to look that up) toward less Freedoms to/for People and more Govt power/control. As Franklin said A REPUBLIC IF YOU CAN KEEP IT* and THOSE WHO WOULD TRADE FREEDOM FOR SECURITY DESERVE NEITHER.

The FAR LEFT is COMPLETE GOVT CONTROL (which includes Monarchy, FASCISM (what today's Left is aiming towards), Socialism, Communism, etc.).

Just because a FASCIST uses "Anarchist tactics" does not make them one! A Leftist wanting to OVERTHROW THE US GOVERNMENT CONSTITUTIONAL CONSTRAINTS to then usher in TOTALITARIAN GOVERNANCE, may use Anarchist tactics but they are still Fascists in Anarchist 'guise!  Words have meaning, and STOP allowing yourself to be suckered into the Left-wing distortions and twisting of the Language!

 
As for the Jan 6 farce, they weren't Anarchists either! The only violence and destruction took part at a small section of the Capitol where Ray Epps and the ANTIFA plants dressed in MAGA gear focused their FALSE FLAG meanwhile those that were peacefully gathered/assembled under our Constitutional Right to do so, were then waved in by Capitol Police (endless hours of Video showing it) and therefore NOT EVEN GUILTY OF TRESPASS (they were invited/waved in); and who, from the inside, released the Magnetic Locks for the CapCops to then stand there and hold the doors open, not attempt to hold them closed, and wave the people in; for the sham/charade narrative to be expounded of fake insurrection at the Capitol.


VIDEO (12m 42s): Jan 6 Leftist false narratives:

Not one of them were armed, the only person shot/killed was Ashley. NO a CapCop was NOT killed by being beaten with a Fire Extinguisher that was and remains a complete lie that some still repeat. The only other "SHOOTINGS" took place that day were the usual DC Violence that took place nowhere near and having nothing to do with the Capitol lying Leftists try to lump in --- cuz they always HAVE TO LIE, FACTS are never on their side. So, yes, drag Ray Epps (the FBI plant) before Congress to testify under Oath his INCITEMENT and round up the clearly identifiable and known ANTIFA plants that were breaking windows and other destruction and lock them up, but the trumped up trespassing manure has to stop!


* And ALL REPUBLICS ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL either. Technically the Soviets... that is still their mindset... Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, ARE ACTUALLY CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLICS TOO ---- HOWEVER, they have Constitutions that LAY OUT THE POWERS OF, BY, AND FOR, THE RULING ELITES AND THEIR STATE rather than FREEDOMS and RIGHTS of/by/for WE THE PEOPLE as in the USA.

"A Republic, if you can keep it" Ben Franklin

"Those who are willing to trade Freedom for Security, deserve neither" also Ben

"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Jefferson

"We are always but one Generation away from losing Freedom" Reagan

"If Fascism ever comes to America, it will come in the form of Liberalism" also Ronald Reagan

No, just because ANTIFA uses "Anarchist" tactics, does not mean they are ANTI-GOVT --- they actually want to over-throw CONSTITUTIONLLY LIMITED GOVT in USA to reign in FULL FASCISM...
