FIRST THERE IS...
FIRST THERE IS…
First there is the unimaginable;
Then things become imaginable.
Followed by manifestations;
At first occasioned, scattered, and rare.
Then frequency increases, until constant, and all around you.
Eventually, with certainty, a country becomes something in-name only.
It is thus replaced by what was once unimaginable…
APPLY THIS TO:
Wokeism…
Crime…
The open border, the attack on border agents…
The military, recruitment, destruction of readiness…
Inflation, recession… the killing of an economy…
Energy… independence… to dependence…
Chinese acquisition of American real estate, farmland…
Modern medicine, the pharmaceutical industry, mandates, lockdowns, the destruction of doctor-patient confidentiality…
The right to keep and bear arms…
Education…
Transgenderism (legit, but from a historic 1% of youth to now 30% of young girls by virtue of Big Gov, public ed, pressure, social media, and “trends”)…
Free speech… and the rise of “cancel culture”…
Free association… and government tracking and lockdowns…
The DOJ, the FBI, the IRS… and respective weaponizations…
The war on police and policing…
Idiots - of entirely new scale and depth-and-breadth-of-office - in high and wide places…
Discussions of WWIII and Armageddon… by, again… idiots…
All of the bad things happening to the above have gone from the realm where, if you had told someone 30, 20, even 10 years ago, about them, they’d laugh you out of the room. From the unimaginable to the imaginable to an increasing manifestation…
Add your own to the list…
America… a mere name on a map and as imperfect as it is, the best country that ever existed, and a mere memory of past leadership, freedoms and opportunities…
… unless you - and potential-others who return to rationality -

I am a U.S. Army veteran (HQ, 500th Military Intelligence Brigade [Japan]; 1st Personnel Command [1st PERSCOM, Europe]; Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations and Plans [ODCSOPS, Pentagon], more) and a retired Fortune500 I.T. executive (Young & Rubicam, Inc., DC-NY; Burson-Marsteller, LLC, DC-NY, more) as well as employment at major non-profits (Nat’l. Food Processors Assoc., N. VA [now GMA]; Water Environment Federation, N. VA, more); as well as Top Secret contract work for clients. I have passed four FBI background checks, the most recent in June of 2022. I am also the author of the novel THE GRIM GRIND OF LIFE: A PI’s strange bounces through a surfeit of eateries, juke joints, and dark doorways. Prior, I authored the MBA-text I.T. WARS: Managing the Business-Technology Weave in the New Millennium (UofW, UofMD, more than a dozen others). The latter book’s last chapter discusses energy and U.S. grid vulnerabilities, and remains a leading-voice in those realms. Books and expanded bio are available on Amazon.
