Welcome to my blog http://www.skegley.blogspot.com/ . CAVEAT LECTOR- Let the reader beware. This is a Christian Conservative blog. It is not meant to offend anyone.

For Christian American readers of this blog:


I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!


A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

Subject: Fwd: When WW III Started - 1979










Just taking a look at the "Big Picture"......



THIS IS NOT A RED OR BLUE THING, NOT A RIGHT OR LEFT THING,

NOT A LIBERAL OR CONSERVATIVE THING, BUT AN AMERICAN THING TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT

When WW III Started - 1979



This is not very long, but very informative You have to read the

catalogue of events in this brief piece. Then, ask yourself how

anyone can take the position that ALL we have to do is bring our

troops home from Iraq, reset the snooze alarm, go back to sleep,

and no one will ever bother us again.



In case you missed it, World War III began in November 1979...



US Navy Captain Ouimette is the Executive Officer at Naval Air Station,

Pensacola, Florida. Here is a copy of the speech he gave last month.

It is an accurate account of why we are in so much trouble today and

why this action is so necessary.



AMERICA NEEDS TO WAKE UP!



That's what we think we heard on the 11th of September 2001

(When more than 3,000 Americans were killed) and maybe it was, but I

think it should have been 'Get Out of Bed!' In fact, the alarm clock

has been buzzing since 1979 and we have continued to hit the snooze

button and roll over for a few more minutes of peaceful sleep since then.



It was a cool fall day in November 1979 in a country going through a

religious and political upheaval when a group of Iranian students

attacked and seized the American Embassy in Tehran . This seizure was

an outright attack on American soil; it was an attack that held

the world's most powerful country hostage and paralyzed a Presidency.

The attack on this sovereign U. S. Embassy set the stage for events to follow for the next 25 years.



America was still reeling from the aftermath of the Vietnam experience

and had a serious threat from the Soviet Union when then, President Carter, had to do something. He chose to conduct a clandestine

raid in the desert. The ill-fated mission ended in ruin, but stood as

a symbol of America's INABILITY to deal with terrorism.



America's military had been decimated and down sized since the end of

the Vietnam War. A poorly trained, poorly equipped and poorly organized military was called on to execute a complex mission that was doomed

from the start.



Shortly after the Tehran experience, Americans began to be kidnapped

and killed throughout the Middle East . America could do little to

protect her citizens living and working abroad. The attacks against

US soil continued.



In April of 1983 a large vehicle packed with high explosives was driven into the US Embassy compound in Beirut When it explodes, it kills 63 people. The alarm went off again and America hit the Snooze Button

once more.



Then just ONLY six short months later in 1983 a large truck heavily

laden down with over 25,000 pounds of TNT smashed through the main

gate of the US Marine Corps headquarters in Beirut and 241 US servicemen are killed. America mourns her dead and hit the Snooze Button once more.



TWO MONTHS LATER in December 1983, another truck loaded with explosives

is driven into the US Embassy in Kuwait, and America continues her

SLUMBER1



The following year, in September 1984, another van was driven into the

gate of the US Embassy in Beirut and America slept.



Soon the terrorism spreads to Europe. In April 1985 a bomb explodes in

a restaurant frequented by US soldiers in Madrid



Then in August 1985 a Volkswagen loaded with explosives is driven into

the main gate of the US Air Force Base at Rheine-Main, 22 are killed

and the snooze alarm is buzzing louder and louder as US interests are continually attacked.



Fifty-nine days later in 1985 a cruise ship, the Achille Lauro is

hijacked and we watched as an American in a wheelchair is singled out

of the passenger list and executed.



The terrorists then shift their tactics to bombing civilian airliners

when they bomb TWA Flight 840 in April of 1986that killed 4 and the

most tragic bombing, Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie , Scotland

in 1988, killing 259.



THE WAKE UP ALARM IS GETTING LOUDER AND LOUDER.



The terrorists decide to bring the fight to America.



In January 1993, two CIA agents are shot and killed as they enter CIA

headquarters in Langley, Virginia



The following month, February 1993, a group of terrorists are arrested

after a rented van packed with explosives is driven into the underground

parking garage of the World Trade Center in New York City. Six people are

killed and over 1000 are injured. Still this is a crime and not an act

of war? The Snooze alarm is depressed again.



Then in November 1995 a car bomb explodes at a US military complex in Riyadh Saudi Arabia killing seven service men and women.



A few months later in June of 1996, another truck bomb explodes only 35

yards from the US military compound in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. It

destroys the Khobar Towers, a US Air Force barracks, killing 19 and injuring over 500. The terrorists are getting braver and smarter as

they see that America does NOT respond decisively.



They move to coordinate their attacks in a simultaneous attack on TWO

US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania . These attacks were planned with

precision. They kill 224. America responds with cruise missile attacks

and goes back to sleep.



The USS Cole was docked in the port of Aden, Yemen for refueling on 12

October 2000 , when a small craft pulled alongside the ship and exploded

killing 17 US Navy Sailors. Attacking a US War Ship is an act of war,

but we sent the FBI to investigate the crime and went back to SLEEP.



And of course you know the events of 11 September 2001. Most Americans think this was the first attack against US soil or in America.

How wrong they are. America has been under a constant attack since

1979 and we chose to hit the snooze alarm and roll over and go back

to sleep.



In the news lately we have seen lots of finger pointing from every high

official in government over what they knew and what they didn't know.

But if you've read the papers and paid a little attention I think you

can see exactly what they knew. You don't have to be in the FBI or CIA

or on the National Security Council to see the pattern that has been developing since 1979.



I think we have been in a war for the past 25 years and it will continue

until we as a people decide "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH"! America needs to 'Get out of Bed' and act decisively now. America has been changed forever.

We have to be ready to pay the price and make the sacrifice to ensure

our way of life continues. We cannot afford to keep hitting the snooze

button again and again and roll over and go back to sleep.



After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Admiral Yamamoto said '... it seems

all we have done is awakened a sleeping giant.' This is the message we need to disseminate to terrorists around the world.



This is not a political thing to be hashed over in an election year,

this is an AMERICAN thing. This is about our Freedom and the Freedom

of our children in years to come.



If you believe in this please forward it to other people, especially

to the young people and all those who dozed off in history class

and who seem so quick to protest such a necessary military action.



If you don't believe it, just delete it and go back to sleep.
