Rediscovering America

  The mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas calls us to spiritual and moral revival by Scott S. Powell          After getting over the pain and grieving of the Uvalde, Texas school shooting, many people and so-called experts have weighed in—offering more of the same old responses that have followed other similar tragic incidents. Most predictable are the demands for more gun control, but there are also appeals to improve and reform police and law enforcement response practices, restrict entrances to schools, employ armed guards at schools or even train and arm teachers.       Of course, everybody knows that it is not guns that commit murders of innocents, but rather estranged and deranged people who wield the firearms and pull the triggers. Even if it were possible to eliminate guns, mal-adjusted and hate-filled people will still find other ways of wreaking havoc and destruction on others.       The heart of today’s problem is less the physical threat posed by guns and more the spir

           The Robb Elementary School mass shooting should not be used to               chip away at the Second Amendment   by Scott S. Powell      It goes without saying that mass shootings, like the recent one in Uvalde, Texas, are always accompanied by emotional appeals for gun control, as though we don’t already have extensive gun control laws and as though guns are the problem and not the criminals and deranged people who go on killing sprees.         Before tragedies such as the loss of 20-some lives at the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas become politicized we are called to grieve and pray for the families and community affected. Then we are called to ask whether existing gun control laws already on the books are being enforced. It is important to enforce existing laws before we pass new laws. We do not ban automobiles or driving because we have accidents and pileups that take many more lives every year than gun violence.         A free society does not control cr

        Memorial Day 2022:   Saving the Future by Remembering the Past by Scott S. Powell       Memorial Day is a profound American holiday because it connects the present with so many different points of our past. It was originally known as Decoration Day, a day set aside to honor those who lost their lives in the Civil War—America’s most costly war, taking the lives of at least 620,000 men. Among American holidays, Memorial Day is unique also in that it originated from the vanquished, not the victor.         After the war was over, women from the South—Columbus, Mississippi and Richmond, Virginia—set out to decorate with flowers the gravesites of their fallen Confederate soldiers. But they became so moved in the process that they decided to equally decorate the gravesites of Union soldiers buried alongside their loved ones. That expression was profound for it showed an amazing forgiveness toward even a merciless Union victor, like General William Sherman, whose scorched earth m

Biden Administration Seeks to Subordinate U.S. Healthcare Crisis Management to the WHO   by Scott S. Powell         The Biden administration’s government against the people is visibly self-evident in burdens placed on American citizens from the open southern border, the high cost of fuel from the willful loss of U.S. energy independence, the disgraceful and hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan that unnecessarily cost American lives and surrendered some $80 billion in U.S. military equipment, and out-of-control federal deficit spending, debt growth and economic  mismanagement resulting in high inflation and heightened risk of a U.S. dollar collapse.        Now the Biden regime has facilitated the next critical stage toward the ‘Great Reset’ to be potentially consummated May 22-28, 2022. That is when the 75th World Health Assembly led by the World Health Organization (WHO) will be convening in Geneva, to vote on amendments formulated by the Biden Administration that would transfer the sover

  Disinformation Governance Board Furthers our Present Orwellian Matrix by Scott S. Powell        The Biden administration’s announcement of creating a new ‘Disinformation Governance Board’ reveals desperation in the face of Americans waking up to overwhelming evidence of coverup and deceit by mainstream and social media on life and death matters. First, people are coming to realize the truth behind the so-called Covid-19 pandemic, with all the attendant life-threatening bad advice and loss of Constitutional freedoms and rights that took place. Second, people are now seeing documentary proof of undeniable evidence of industrial scale vote fraud that drove an illegitimate result in the November 2020 elections.         Many have drawn parallels between Biden’s ‘Disinformation Governance Board’ and George Orwell’s ‘Ministry of Truth,’ arguing that it’s a threat to First Amendment free speech. But wait. Haven’t we already been living in the matrix of an Orwellian world, with free
