Veterans Day

Namaste and welcome to another posting for the Quiet Mouse Strikes Back. I want to start off by saying that I am a proud veteran of the U.S. Navy serving during the Iraqi war, discharged honorable from injury while serving with honor, courage, and commitment to the American way of life.

That being said... I live about 20 minutes north of Portland, Oregon where there has been daily protesting and rioting for the last few days since the 2016 presidential election where Donald Trump became our new President elect.
I understand that citizens are upset about the loss of their beloved candidate. I understand that folks are afraid for the future, for themselves and for their loved ones. But here's the thing...
First, Trump isn't the president until January, so all the crime, lawlessness, and civil disobedience is being done on Obama's watch.
Second, what does all this hope to accomplish? We can't go back. All we can do is work together toward a better future, regardless of who is the leader.
Third, what kind of message does this send our children? Acting like whiny, spoiled, entitled jackasses ISN'T helping your cause. In fact, it's actually hurting it.
Destroying property, vandalism, and destruction of middle income businesses only hurts the working class Americans. It does NOTHING to fight against the machine.
I blogged recently about this generation of entitlement and the pussy generation of millennials and I stand by that sentiment. All these "triggered" individuals who are causing these problems need to grow the fuck up. You're complaining about the problem, but then causing a bigger problem in response? That's asinine logic and very childish, to say the least.
I'm gonna spell it out for you here, real simple like...
You don't have to like everything the government does.
You don't have to like or respect our elected officials.
You don't have to blindly follow the crowd, especially in cases like Portland, among others, where rioting and other forms of lawlessness are taking place.
This is how you get martial law, dumb asses.

Many millions of citizens have made the sacrifice to serve in the military. To serve the greater good. It is disrespectful to ALL the men and women who made this sacrifice of time, family, limb, mental health, and life for ungrateful shit heads to burn our flag and riot over an election.
If you live within the geographical borders of these here United States of America, and you are here legally as a citizen, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU THINKING?!?
I don't like or agree with everything that President elect Donald Trump says, does, or has proposed for our future as a nation. BUT, I CHOOSE to be a good citizen and honor the voting choice of the will of the citizens and accept him as our future leader, come January. I choose NOT to act in a manner that is embarrassing to myself, my family, and my nation.
We are ALL AMERICANS FIRST, black, white, brown, red, yellow, man, woman, straight, LGBTQ, or how ever you self identify SECOND.
Veterans didn't serve and willingly sacrifice to come home and see such disrespect from the civilian population. All the "triggered" pussies need to grow the fuck up. This is what happens when everyone gets a participation trophy. In real life there are winners and losers. The measure of a person isn't in how much loss or struggle one must endure. We ALL have our own struggles and demons we must face in our daily lives. No, the measure of a person is in how they DEAL WITH and COPE with the adversity during the trying times. How many times you get back up, dust yourself off, and strive toward a better future is what makes a person great.

Lawless rioting and looting from small business owners and being a problem for others who just want to live doesn't make you cool or special, it makes you an unpatriotic asshole. This is your home. Why would you destroy your home? That's someone's mother, father, sister, brother, aunt, uncle, cousin, or BFF that you just beat up, robbed, or murdered. That person did NOTHING to you and you show such disdain against them, your fellow citizens. All because of whom they voted for? Our founding fathers of this nation were proud of the system that they created, a democratic republic founded on the principles of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Veterans have fought and died for that ideal for nearly 250 years. Show some fucking respect.

Last thing I'm gonna say is that despite the nature of our foreign wars, I'm still proud of the service I gave to my country and fellow citizens. I'm NOT proud of these selfish, disrespectful, assholes treating our nation and it's citizens like shit. We live in a beautiful land of prosperity and abundance. It may not always be easy, fair, or equal, but few things in life ever are. We, however, owe a debt to one another to remain civil and treat others with respect, especially veterans who sacrificed so you could have a better life that you take for granted. This message isn't directed at the hard working class Americans that dutifully and diligently make the backbone of our society.
Want this nation to be great again? Go to work. Participate in your community. Don't riot or do harm unto others. Show respect for those who served to preserve the rights you take for granted. Thank a veteran. Give him or her a hug. Show gratitude. The life you complain about is a dream for so many more. Don't take that for granted.

Election Day

Welcome to my blog, The Quiet Mouse Strikes Back.

This whole election has made me sad. Between the racism, sexism, xenophobia, rape scandals, flip flopping, mud slinging, rigged primaries, etc... I'm done.
I did my patriotic duty as a citizen and voted in this mockery of democracy we are calling an election. And it wasn't for either of the two front runner candidates pictured above, SELECTED NOT ELECTED to be our choice this year as the new POTUS. What sucks the most is ONE OF THESE 2 SHIT BAG IDIOTS IS GONNA WIN.
Please understand when I say that these 2 in NO WAY represent the will of the masses of struggling disheartened Americans. But then again neither do most of our so-called leaders. Yet, we play this game of red vs. blue every 4 years, hoping and praying that someone will come and save us from our own bad decisions, as a society at large.
We have become so divided as a nation, and many more will be upset at the outcome of this election where in a land of over 300 million people, the best we can do is Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
This raises the question to me "Does our voting really count any more?" Because when we wake as a nation tomorrow, after this whole sordid election affair is over, the world will still be the same. Nearly 5 billion human beings will still be living in substandard living conditions, making less than 2 U.S. dollars a day, literally starving to death. Large corporations like the pharmaceutical industry, the oil industry, the military industrial complex, and large banking networks like the Federal Reserve and IRS will still be in effect. Our lives as citizens will continue to be in flux, most of us one disaster away from the poverty line.
American Christians are on social media getting worked up over abortions and the sanctity of life for the unborn, but I say to you...
What about the human rights of the other 7 billion inhabitants of this planet where 80 million+ mouths to feed are being added PER YEAR into poverty? I'm not trying to be an ass, but in reality I'm a concerned human being. It doesn't really matter who we elect President when the global cabal of rich businessmen, political leaders, and bankers can buy candidates and rig elections. They control the media, food, water, energy, land, natural resources, etc...
What COULD Trump or Clinton even DO against that might? Our real leaders are named Bernake, Soros, Rockefeller, and Rothschild, among other wealthy individuals and families with great influence and power.  Groups too, like the Vatican (Roman Catholic Church), the Federal Reserve, the ruling family of England, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderberg group, Committee of 300, United Nations, and on and on... they have more impact on your life than the figurehead we elect as President of the United States, Incorporated.

Vote how you want, but either candidate is bad.
Hillary will give us more steps toward the globalist vision of the world. It will start with allowing in Muslim refugees against the will of the citizens. There will be terror, rape, and murder here, just like it is already happening in Europe. Then we will be forced to PROVE our citizenship, likely with use of implanted RFID microchips so we can be tagged like cattle, which is the ultimate goal of this police state.
With Trump on the other hand, there will be countless more wars. The military will have to be strong because the rest of the world is really starting to hate us, not because of our "freedoms", but because of our imperialistic nature of bombing brown people, stealing their resources, and setting up Rothschild owned central banks.

With either candidate you get the SAME result. The establishment wins. Enjoy the freedoms you do have, because we are ALWAYS one generation away from losing that freedom. Stand up and vote. Raise your voice. Together we can accomplish so much. But we must change our paradigm and vote for ANYONE other than the 2 poor choices we have been given in Trump and Clinton that represent everything that is WRONG with this nation, and have few redeeming qualities. It is ABSOLUTELY American to stand up for the rights given to you and I by our founding fathers who drafted the Constitution with the Bill of Rights guaranteed to each and every citizen. It is our duty to question the government, to question our leaders, to question the electoral process and get rid of the antiquated electoral college, if necessary and restore balance where 1 person, 1 voice = 1 vote and have those votes counted equally. The system isn't fixed in stone. It still has room for change, for progress, and for betterment of all mankind. We have the intelligence. We have the resources. All we have to do is stand up, together, and say NO! We're all human beings and we deserve our basic human rights, voting included! Go vote. Make a good choice based upon FACTS rather than emotion or what you've been TOLD to believe. Make your own opinion, because at the end of the day, we cannot fix the government or society at large until we fix our selves. We cannot fix a broken system with the same logic that made it broken in the first place. We cannot continue to vote for the antiquated 2 party system that has failed us time and time again. But, I digress... Tomorrow is just another day... unless we make the change...
