Kyle Anderson: Never Quit


In recognition of the USMC Birthday, November 10th, and Veterans Day November 11th, I’m posting the video, my friend, Kyle Anderson, a disabled Marine Corps Veteran who produced, directed, and narrated his own documentary.  It is called “Never Quit The End.”

I first met Kyle in 2019 when I worked in a work program at the VA Minneapolis called Compensated Work Therapy (CWT). It’s a VA program that allows a Vet to have a job while they are looking for a job. Kyle had worked in Vet Mart, the office supply depot in the basement of the VA Minneapolis Hospital before he got his current job.

Kyle would come in after his appointments to see my old boss, Brett Larson, a US Army Veteran who worked at the VA for many years before retiring to become a gun smith north of the Twin Cities Metro area.  Kyle is tenacious and despite his obvious physical disabilities he is not mentally deficient at all.  Kyle is my favorite Marine and every time I see the video above, I get the waterworks going.  Kyle is a hard core Green Bay Packers fan (I am too, I’m a Shareholder), and I knitted him what I call a Bottle Mitt in Packers colors.

Kyle is not affiliated with this website, but he would tell you that I am his friend if you wanted to know who I am to him.

Every year on the Marine Corps Anniversary I think of Kyle Anderson, and the service he gave to his unit, his buddies, and to our country.

Happy Birthday Marines !  Happy Veterans Day!

Veterans Party Candidate for Minneapolis Ward 1: Calvin Lee Carpenter

Calvin Lee Carpenter, Minneapolis Ward 1 Candidate, Veterans Party of Minnesota


The Minneapolis Municipal Elections are on November 2, 2021. With the turmoil and constant violent crime in the City of Minneapolis Minnesota there ought to be some sort of turn over of leaders in the troubled city. If there isn’t, one can write Minneapolis off as another failed city much like the city it has often been modeled after, Portland Oregon.

The Mayor and all 13 Ward City Council Seats are up for election.  Normally SaintPaulRepublicans.us doesn’t write about city governments outside of the City Limits of Saint Paul. The last time we did it was to promote the candidacy of Minneapolis Ward 7 Candidate Joe Kovacs in 2017.

This time we are intrigued with a candidate who ran in the Legislative House District 60A race last year who is running Minneapolis’ Ward 1, Calvin Lee Carpenter. I, Publius Jr, had a phone interview with him in early September after Labor Day.  His party is of interest too, so I thought to write about them both in this article.

Calvin Lee Carpenter

A brief bio of Calvin will make you understand why he didn’t seek out an endorsement from the Republican Party in Minnesota but rather joined the Veterans’ Party of Minnesota instead. He is not a Veteran, but most of his family members, siblings and cousins are. He tried to enlist in the US Air Force but an injury from an accident kept him from doing so.  His step-father is a Vietnam Veteran.

Calvin was born in the State of Mississippi and lived for some time in the State of Florida before coming to Minnesota where he has lived for the last 20 years. He is currently a security guard and lives near The Quarry Shopping Center in Northeast Minneapolis.

Calvin likes to fish when he isn’t at work.

Calvin’s Issues

Most Republicans I can actually fill out the Issues section before meeting the candidate, but with a Veterans Party of Minnesota Candidate I was unsure of what I’d hear.

Against Replacing the Minneapolis Police Department (No on Question 2)

Calvin addressed the unacceptable violence in Minneapolis.  He said some people might think the violence is related to the George Floyd riots, but it is not. If it were there are more peaceful ways to protest the grievances of the people than to elevate it to violence.  This is from the pro-US Constitution Veterans Party Platform.

He said he is against getting rid of the Minneapolis Police Department, but he would like to see some reforms in the department.  He had some ideas in helping to change the relationship the Minneapolis Police have with Citizens of Minneapolis.

  • Better Police Training. Officers need to develop better procedures when called into a situation. They need to make sure situations do not escalate into confrontations. This starts with better training.
  • Police Officers Living in Minneapolis Neighborhoods. To earn Minneapolis Residents’ trust and mutual respect they need to know the neighborhoods they patrol. This means encouraging Police Officers to live in Minneapolis.  What stops speeders faster than seeing a squad car parked on the street.  Police Officers who live in the city they protect will know more of the feeling of a neighborhood than an officer who lives in the suburbs.

Promoting the Nuclear Family

Calvin talked about how children with a mother and father promote stability in a number of ways. A stable family doesn’t need a social worker, doesn’t need multiple calls by the Police Department to visit. Stable families anchor a neighborhood which attracts other stable families. They require good schools, and businesses will want to move into the neighborhood.

He is for Father’s Rights.

Business Climate Needs to Change

During the Pandemic Small Businesses were overlooked while Big Businesses were rewarded.  The lockdown was brutal on small businesses. The majority of jobs created happen at small businesses. The Governor and Mayor Jacob Frey and City Government of Minneapolis ensured economic hardship for small business owners but seem to drive business toward Big Business.

Before the Pandemic it wasn’t much better. Misunderstanding how small businesses and the private sector can increase jobs and wages the City leaders killed jobs and the business climate by increasing the minimum wage in Minneapolis. This killed legacy businesses, and killed jobs as well.

Bringing back businesses destroyed in the protests of the George Floyd Riots may never happen with the anti-business climate and hostility towards the Minneapolis Police Department.

Pro Second Amendment

Self defense is from God. It is an inalienable right. Sometimes the Police are 10 minutes away from your house, but the threat is trying to get through your front door. Paying attention to firearm laws and the rules of using deadly force and universal gun rules and waiting for the Police to arrive one just needs to be able to defend yourself and your family if the Police don’t arrive in time.

Political Parties need to work for the People not their Party

Many people wish the two major parties would work for the people rather than playing games at the Legislature or in city government.  Voices of people in parties that do not have elected leadership need to be heard because they might have great ideas that aren’t allowed to be heard because of party politics.

Calvin should be a great City Councilman. If you don’t vote for him on the 1st choice, vote for him on your second choice in the Ranked Choice Voting in Minneapolis Ward 1.

Vote for Positive Change Vote Calvin Lee Carpenter


Why the Veterans Party of Minnesota?

I asked Calvin Lee Carpenter why he joined the Veterans Party of Minnesota. Other than the family tradition of serving in the military he said he had met a couple of people at a rally at the Minnesota Capitol Grounds.  Those people were Tony Nerios and Myron Wilson. Nerios ran in House District 43A, and Wilson ran in House District 15B in 2020.  They encouraged Calvin to run for office in House District 60A in Northeast Minneapolis.

It’s an interesting concept of appealing to Veterans in America. Many Veterans feel that their oath of office never ended, despite their contracts being finite.  The oath is to defend the US Constitution against Enemies Foreign and Domestic. I, Publius Jr, served in the US Army.  I believe my oath never was rescinded, despite my 6 year contract ending some time ago.

So I’m looking at the Veterans Party of Minnesota and their Platform is pretty simple for those who like simple they have 3 goals which the Republican Party have never been close to addressing despite the donation advantage and leadership groups all over the state of Minnesota.

Veterans Party of Minnesota Platform

  1. Repeal REAL I.D.: Drivers Licenses should not be used as a passport.  This is intended for Minnesota to retain our State Sovereignty.
  2. Dismantle the Met Council: MN DOT absorbs all responsibilities and distributes them accordingly to all the appropriate state agencies.
  3. 3rd Party Recognition:  adjust the requirements of political parties & candidate recognition to allow for more competition and ideas.

National Platform of the Veterans Party of America

The national platform has 18 planks.

  1. The US Constitution is the Law of the Land.
  2. There is no such thing as a Separation of Church & State codified in the US Constitution.
  3. Job Creation.
  4. Border Security.
  5. National Defense and Security is the highest priority to keep citizens safe and secure.
  6. The Veterans Party has 10 parts to their Immigration policy.
  7. Education of our children is critical to the security of our nation.
  8. Foreign Policy should not extend to interference in the internal affairs of sovereign nations.
  9. Foreign Aid can’t come before America’s needs. Aid must be looked at on a case by case basis.
  10. Having a Balanced Budget at the Federal level, which would require a Constitutional Amendment.
  11. Earned Benefits (see the link above).
  12. Tax Reform.
  13. Welfare Reform
  14. Election Reform (try to eliminate voter fraud) and eliminate unions and corporations from giving to political parties or candidates.
  15. Congressional Pay & Benefits.
  16. Term Limits (States could set term limits on their elected officials).
  17. Resource Sustainability (see link above).
  18. Eliminate Corporate Subsidies.

Like all platforms you do not have to agree with everything. I, Publius Jr, do not like limiting how many times I help re-elect an effective elected official. Term Limits often change the faces but not the policies of who is elected. Seeing actual rotation of elected officials on the St Paul Public Schools Board of Education despite a few serving multiple terms, has led to a body of elected officials that never change the policies of educating children.  The culture has to change in order to flip a seat, term limits do not change the culture at all.

If you like what the Veterans Party of Minnesota profess and that they actually fielded a candidate in Minneapolis despite being a small party, feel free to follow them.

Canadian Doctors Speak Out: The Real Virus is Fear

Disclaimer: The following Videos are from Medical Professionals from Canada. It is their professional opinions. We are providing the videos for you to make health decisions for yourself and weigh your options. It is entirely up to you whether you heed what these doctors are saying.  ~~ Publius Jr.


 

You won’t see local, or national reporters repeating the advice from these Canadians. You probably won’t hear it unless a friend forwards this article to you. We’ve heard over the years how wonderful the Government Healthcare Program in Canada is. You won’t hear how many doctors in Canada and around the world are questioning the science of Covid that Dr Fauci promotes, or that the variants aren’t what you’ve been led to believe. It’s interesting there is no consensus of what Covid is or even a yearning to know how it started and was transmitted across the globe but there is a consensus on the “settled science,” of Climate Change despite many scientists objecting.

Science doesn’t work that way

Science starts with observations, theories on what is going on, and testing of those theories. Comparing results of the testing then seeing if the theory was correct if not, repeat this procedure until a theory can be proven. Then it becomes a law of nature.

I, Publius Jr, am an Engineer and some years ago I was a science fair judge at Farnsworth Middle School in St Paul MN. At the fair I would look at a student’s claim/theory, their procedure and results, then their conclusion of their experiment. I could tell right away who the future scientists and politicians were going to be.  The future scientists showed their work and did the scientific method and often their conclusion and theory didn’t match. The future politicians were the ones who spent a great deal of emotion telling me how their conclusion agreed with their theory no matter what their results told them. I would always ask if their results were different than what they were showing me and I gave plenty of time for these latter students to change their answer. Most never did and they did not get a favorable rating from me.

The Science of COVID seems to be more political than real science. The question might be why? Why are we led to believe a certain need to combat a virus with an unproven vaccine that tends to make people more sick.  Then we are told those people who are sick are suffering from a new variant rather than suffering from side effects from the vaccines and the current booster (there are 3-4 more boosters planned).


I saw the following video in late 2020. I scoffed at the direction of this video thinking it was a McCarthyism-like scare tactic, but it is starting to sound a lot like what was intended prior to a vaccine being introduced so much earlier than predicted by Democrats in the USA.

Dr Buttar asks what PMO means in relationship to the Canadian Liberal Party. PMO is the Prime Minister’s Office. It is interesting how he talks about supply chain shortages in 2021, and also an offer to Canadians to give up their property and assets if they take the vaccine.  Those that refuse would be put into permanent lockdown, and if they continued to refuse they would be sent to a camp and have all their assets seized.  Dr Buttar reads that this would not just be Canada but other countries participating as well.

Whatever is going on in our health system the vaccine mandates seem out of place if people weren’t getting more sick from the vaccines people might readily take it. Yet there are several examples of people getting sick from the vaccines which often goes unreported or is blamed on a new variant, when there is no evidence of a new variant.

It’s also curious why our Whistleblower article had a balloon of hits then it went silent after 4 days. Web traffic doesn’t work that way. It’s unnatural and something is fishy.

Whether you know it or not we are essentially at war with an adversary that is openly taking advantage of the ruse they created. The savviness of making us think we had a global pandemic by a virus first developed with US Taxpayer money and then released by their agents in China so we would eagerly take their bioweapon (vaccine) is super evil, almost something the 4th Reich would do.  Yeah the 3rd Reich made people believe that the Jews being sent to a new place where they could start new lives and they were actually sent to camps where they would have to take a shower after a long train ride but were gassed instead. This…what we are experiencing, feels like that.

Whatever happens in the future, puncture holes in their narrative whenever you can and tell someone about it. Remember the real Virus is Fear and the cure is the Truth.

Whistleblower: US Death Statistics Don’t Add Up to the Claims By the Government

The following video uses CDC statistics on total US Deaths from 2017 through 2020. It is not misinformation as it comes from a US Government Agency and they wouldn’t lie to you about your health. It is from the opinions of Steve Isdahl, and also unrelated to him the organization AMAC this article was put together. ~~ Publius Jr.



The video above would have been banned as Steve Isdahl of HowtoHunt.com claims. Mr Isdahl is a Hunting Guide living in British Columbia, Canada.  He is currently famous for sharing emails from people who write in about Sasquatch.

Isdahl encourages people who have knowledge about Sasquatch to send in their story as they have been ridiculed by friends & family. It helps he says to share ones story. He says the narrative about the being is that it is a certain type of primate or ape, but most witnesses say it looks like a human except very large. He says the government lies to you about it’s existence and what they are. If they are lying to you about this what else are they lying to you about?

Now I know you will laugh about the existence of Sasquatch and say the messenger isn’t dealing with a full deck, but hundreds of thousands of people have seen them. Then you’ll just click off this article and go elsewhere. However the video doesn’t mention Sasquatch. Steve Isdahl has a number of people from the US Military, Intelligence Agencies, and from agencies that employ Nuclear Physicists contacting him with information that isn’t always about the subject of 7 to 10 foot tall human like beings roaming the woods.

Statistics Can be Fudged

The first semester of Freshman Engineering at Iowa State one of my professors told me, Publius Jr, statistics and graphs can be misleading or downright fudged to prove someone’s point.  So keep that in mind when the listing of Total US Deaths from 2017 through 2020 are listed from the above video.  Then the correction by some websites are released to make you think what the published totals of 2020 don’t reflect the claimed stats of COVID deaths politicians or certain small over-the-hill man at the CDC says.

Year   Total US Deaths per CDC Statistics     Change from Previous Year

2017    2,818,503 American Deaths

2018    2,839,205 American Deaths   20,702 more

2019    2,855,503 American Deaths   16,298 more

2020    2,913,144 American Deaths   57,641 more

(the 2019 deaths are listed from what he says in the video, they might disagree with the actual CDC counts)

2020 was the first year of SARS COV2 Deaths. We’ve been told there were 300,000 or more deaths from the virus in the USA.  What does that mean?

It means we were lied to about the serious nature of the “pandemic.”  There is evidence death certificates were fudged to make the leading cause of the deaths to be the virus. There are anecdotes of people dying of car accidents being listed as being deaths due to the virus.  Did you know George Floyd had it too?  He died of a drug overdose of fentanyl in the presence of the Minneapolis Police, and the cops got charged with murder, and convicted before a corrupt jury, corrupt judge, a violent mob outside the courthouse, and threats from sitting US Congress members.

Seeing stats can be a bit impersonal and after a time the numbers mean nothing. That’s when one needs to talk to people who might know first hand if the statistical data is true. People of the medical profession or maybe morticians might know the true numbers of deaths.  There is a certain UK Funeral Director of Milton Keynes, John O’Looney, who corroborates the numbers Steve Isdahl’s informant suggests.

What if you did respect the messenger? Like say Johns Hopkins?

Johns Hopkins Study

This study was posted on November 27, 2020 in their newsletter, then was forced to be deleted from their website.  You’ll find a lot of people being debunked or libeled/slandered on just asking the question about why the death tolls don’t represent the claimed numbers of SARS COV2 deaths.  No doubt this article will fall into that category. That’s okay because “debunked,” on the internet now means it is true.

Here is another.

www.myessentialnews.com/post/usdeaths

Doctors Are Scared If they Tell the Truth of SARS COV2 & Vaccine

In the video below Steve Isdahl of HowtoHunt.com hunting app, gives the information he has learned from a doctor in British Columbia, Canada.  Doctors are being threatened with losing their job or more if they reveal what they know.  I’ve thought more than once whether I should post this at all.  The reason why I am is because we outnumber the people who are driving this global power grab.  I’m a US Army Veteran and this falls into an enemy of the US Constitution foreign and domestic, especially the latter.  This originated in the US not China, but they are a willing partner.

If you are wondering if there is a cure for SARS COV2 there is and when administered it can cure it in 24-48 hours.  So why isn’t it? Population Control.  Who does that sound like?

As Steve Isdahl states often on his YouTube Channel posts, “Take this and accept it or not.” Though if you are too scared to stand up then evil men and women will prevail and they will decide how much freedom and liberty you’ll get if you listen to their lies and do as they say.  There are millions of people who will stand up to this tyranny, will you be one who stands or sits?


The views in this article are based upon the educated opinion of Steve Isdahl, John O’Looney, a researcher at Johns Hopkins, and an unnamed whistleblower from a 3 letter agency that deals with terrorism.

Whistleblowers, Scientists who Disagree with the Science of The Virus & the Vaccines Effectiveness

Disclaimer:  Usually I put this at the bottom of the article, but to make it clear the opinions of the Videos are theirs only. I’m just providing them the opportunity to help you inform yourself about your health.  Those politicians out there to include Joe Biden and all the 2020 Democratic Presidential Candidates scoffed at the Vaccine President Trump was working on. They said it would take 5 years to perfect it through trials but now they are pushing that same vaccine on the population to the point of violating your civil rights and proposing to put you in an internment camp and seizing your property if you refuse. It seems I went to bed one day in the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave and woke up in Nazi Germany. Readers, watch the videos and decide on your own without threats what to do about your health, remember the Democrats like to say, “My Body, My Choice?” Well tell them that when you choose to openly resist, or get the jab it’s your life. ~~ Publius Jr.


Whistleblower John O’Looney, Funeral Director at Milton Keynes Family Funeral Services, Milton Keynes England. 

Funeral Director John O’Looney said his business didn’t pick up until after the Vaccines were being administered.  He believes the variants being reported are nothing more than the reactions to the various vaccines being administered blindly by medical professionals. He believes the moving of Covid positive patients to senior living complexes accelerated the disease and there were people in those facilities who were being euthanized essentially and then having their deaths reported as a Covid victim.

He says the Delta Variant is basically Vaccine injury. He knows of no child who has died of Covid, though he believes one will be manufactured to promote the fear of the false pandemic so you will make sure your child gets the “Vaccine.”

He questions why the UK is building massive super-prison complexes in their country. He fears for his life and thought before he is whisked away by authorities to some unknown fate he wanted to get the message out.  He fears those that resist will be sent to those “internment camps” as he puts it (Notice the crematorium in the photo of the HMP Wellingborough Prison). He wonders at a country that is on it’s economic knees due to the Pandemic but has the money to build these prisons. He says it feels like Nazi Germany.

It’s also possible to obtain generic Ivermectin or inject it, or purchase from a pharmacy before any medical device can be sold in a pharmacy. Most online shopping sites do not have enough Ivermectin to do everything you can do (for example, sleep), you may actually vomit, lose all the strength in your upper body, and it will just make it so you might not get it. Ivermectin has been available for over 45 years of its history and it is recommended to take a daily high dose of Ivermectin to take steps to ensure that it is widely used and does not get contaminated during manufacture which prevents the drug from taking up precious supplies of available water. For Ivermectin you will need to fill out an online form to be placed on the shelves for the purchase of Ivermectin 100 mg tablet. In these cases, you can go to one of the pharmacies listed under the heading Online over the counter online and have it shipped from the United States to combat a wide range of bacterial and Coronavirus. For example, the FDA approved application form from one of the only “natural” anti-bacterial drugs that can be ordered up to four times a week.

A little digging one comes up a multi-national effort to build prisons in the UK. See “Who is Building the Mega-Prisons?” by CorporateWatch.org, and also “Government Announces Plans to Build Four More Mega-Prisons.” The former published January 5, 2021, the latter published on July 1, 2020. It seems the fear of internment camps is justified as the need for new prisons seems to have been on the time table of the Event 201 discussions on October 19, 2019.

HMP Wellingborough renamed Five Wells. Notice the Crematorium near the exterior of the complex? Convenient. From Google Earth.

 

HMP Wellingborough, England, aka HMP Five Wells being built through a multi-national effort after stalling for a few years from 2018. The UK suddenly found money to build it after the Pandemic started.


Professor Sucharit Bhakdi

Sucharit Bhakdi MD is Professor Emeritus of Medical Microbiology and Immunology and Former Chair at the Institute of Medical Microbiology and Hygiene, Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz. There is another video posted in 2020 talking about the COVID-19 Virus on the Trigger Nometry Podcast that talks about it (Click on the rumble link). It’s a podcast based in the UK.

This video is a message from him to the English Government.

https://www.bitchute.com/video/oExKhVsRAa72/

Professor Sucharit Bhakdi suggests the current plan by Prime Minister Boris Johnson is criminal and one of the greatest crimes against the English People.  Professor Bhakdi says there are drugs that can help cure 75% of those older citizens with pre-existing diseases who are infected. This would lower the death rate for that group of people to lower than that of the regular flu. He says 90% of all PCR tests come up as being false.

Professor Bhakdi chastises the BBC for pushing the vaccines.


Proof from Many Doctors the Virus was Never Isolated in order to Create a Vaccine

https://www.bitchute.com/video/kv0YuGuTebUp/

A number of doctors ask how one can create a vaccine when the virus was never isolated to study it to find out how it works and what it is made of.  The following doctors are in the video above: Dr Stephen Lanka, Dr Tom Cowan, Dr Sam Bailey, and researcher Christine Massey M.Sc.

The scientific method is to isolate the virus then test various drugs on it to combat it. This wasn’t the case in the Patented Covid virus. It also seems the vaccine was in the works a lot longer than the 9 months President Trump talks about. He probably didn’t know that.


I, Publius Jr, have sent the John O’Looney video to a couple of great reporters that I know who do good work. I’ve heard from one who claims the anecdotal responses from area healthcare workers they know say the vaccine is doing good work. I personally had an argument with a nurse at the VA who disrespected my opinion that the vaccine is poison and shouldn’t be pushed on patients. Healthcare workers who put their financial status (scared of losing their jobs) over the concerns of the patients who come to them for treatment are despicable and ought to be fired, in my opinion.  Those government workers who think they need to violate citizens’ rights in order to impose the will of the government need to go to jail.  What sort of government employees do we have working at these important institutions like the FDA and the VA? Just a year ago they were balking at the Vaccine Trump’s Operation Warp Speed was working on, just because of his party.

Here is an immoral FDA worker talking to a Project Veritas reporter that just had an exponential explosion on the internet (tried to avoid saying “viral”).

https://www.bitchute.com/video/CtiSGJIBvZ6i/

Remember the Government serves the people who loan them authority to run the day to day operations of the government.  It’s not the other way around. Lack of respect for the People who are supposed to be in control will lead to tyranny by a few dictating their whims of the day.

If the claims of the Virus being spread are untrue and the policies are promoted as safeguards aren’t really safe but are pushed by bureaucrats who lost their ability to question the policies they push due to job security then what is really going on here? Is the Virus, which has evidence of being created and in April 2004 in Georgia at the CDC  (US Patent #7220852 Covid patent) in the USA then sent to a Bioweapons laboratory in Wuhan China, a bioweapon? If it is who are we at war with?  Who are the perpetrators?  Also why aren’t journalists interested in finding out the truth?

These are many questions that need answers, and those professionals who are stepping forward and putting their jobs and lives on the line by trying to answer these questions are being silenced figuratively and literally. This sort of behavior feels like we are at war with someone, but who?


I am in the process of setting up other accts on other platforms. Currently I have one on GETTR (run by a former Trump administration person Jason Miller) under the StpCityGop name.  If you are a Conservative getting a GETTR account is a good idea. The static autopost account @stpgop is still up but it is only a matter of time before the bullies at Twitter suspend that one too (I decoupled it as this article will probably violate their Covid propaganda rules). ~~ Publius Jr

Need to Change the ATF Form 4473 and Other Government Forms

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives aka ATF, Form 4473 Lines 18a & 18b


If you are like Millions of Longtime & New Firearm Owners you’ve probably had to fill out an ATF Form 4473 lately and this is the one line you might object to, I, Publius Jr, did.

ATF 4473

If you look at the above Form Excerpt you’ll see what I mean, or maybe you’ve filled out so many forms and accept what the local, state and federal governments shovel you don’t understand my objection.

As Sesame Street often says “one of these items isn’t like the other.” Can you see it?

No?

Well it’s in 18b. Now do you see it?

Line 18a has it’s own issues, but in Line 18b  you’ll see what is so objectionable that I’m writing about my outrage in this article.

Line 18b is problematic

If you have found it, terrific, if you haven’t look at the one box that isn’t like the others and it is the box on the far right marked “White.” This is a color not an ethnic background like the others are, and none of them are a Race.

If you are like me you would like to think of yourself as an intelligent, caring person but to fill out this garbage line makes you a conformist with knuckle-dragging bureaucrats who love to sort us people into easier to control groups.  Bureaucrats tend to be pension and vacation minded so they never question what sort of nonsense they have to push on the good people of the USA.

I don’t believe in the Concept of Race. Racism is nothing more than hate and prejudice on display. Race doesn’t affect my day-to-day actions nor in my opinion does it belong on a Federal Form or Application.

The only place these sorts of questions belong is maybe on your Census Form you fill out every 10 years. If you have a legitimate Social Security Number then all of this information is already known, so you might question why you are required to fill out any demographic questions at all. It’s a good question which is never answered.

Line 18a

Why is, “Ethnicity,” needed on this form? Why are there only 2 choices here? Why does this question seem to focus on only Hispanic people?

Have Hispanic people somehow committed a crime by merely being born with that origin? It seems very prejudicial in the way Line 18a is formed. Is this line a hold over from another era when being Hispanic was considered wrong?

I’d like to call myself a Native American, or a Native Minnesotan, but you’d think I was from a tribe, or a First Nations person, but I’m not. I was born in this state so I’m native to it and I’m from nowhere else. Where my ancestors were from is Europe and not from one specific area as I have Northern and Eastern European background as well. Those tribes by the way are not native to North America either, God did not start up humans in this area but rather the Mesopotamia region of the world and really no one knows where Eden was, though from the way God protects his people, the Jews, Eden is probably in Israel. Eden if you recall from reading your Bible is where God created a garden perfect for his first 2 people he made, Adam & Eve. They lived there a number of years before they were banished and forced east of there. A huge worldwide flood moved the continents around and messed some areas on the planet since.

I wrote about these demographic questions in another article entitled, “Isn’t it Time to Drop the Race Question on Job Applications?” There I asked the same questions I’ve asked here. I make a note of why I don’t believe in the man-made Concept of Race, as it is never mentioned in the Bible and it only showed up about at the time of the African Slave Trade.

I know Minnesota Legislators, other government people, and pastors read the articles here but they don’t seem to get the message these questions don’t need to be on job applications, nor government forms anymore. In order to achieve Rev Martin Luther King Jr’s Dream of a Society where your character is more important than what you look like we must implore the government “by the people” to act. Contact your Government Representative and demand this change.

Until then…

I’d like to ask if I can put in an “Other” box and write in, “American,” but to avoid a hassle with an unconstitutional agency regulating firearms (See 2A why this is unconstitutional) that has had a recent name change to AFT, I’ll just be quiet as I fill out this form.

If You Know a Veteran Ask Them How They are Doing Then Say It’s Okay to Get Help

Sometimes when I, Publius Jr, am writing an article I stumble across information that needs to be shared with more emphasis.  In the article I posted, “Ulterior Motives for Giving Afghanistan to Red China’s Newest Ally the Taliban,” I added some extra information about former Navy SEAL/ CIA Contractor Shawn Ryan to add some depth to his story.  The extra information was about how he deals with the Social Anxiety he feels in the civilian world after his life in the military and CIA. He also talks about how to find a good therapist that is best for you.

While I’m no where close to the experiences of Shawn Ryan, or his colleague Tu Lam of Ronin Tactics, I am a regular US Army Veteran who has some lingering issues from my Tour of Duty during the latter years of the Cold War.

The following video is from the Vigilance Elite YouTube Channel about 6 tips on dealing with social anxiety.


The next video is from the Vigilance Elite YouTube Channel entitled “Finding the Right Therapist – 5 tips from a Navy SEAL.

Currently I am in a Veteran Support Group at the VA-Mpls. I didn’t need to share that with you, but with all those Vets out there who are planning to harm themselves either in a direct way or indirectly in a risky behavior I feel it’s important to say it’s okay to be vulnerable enough to ask for help. After I watched the second video above I checked out the Group Moderator and also my Psychologist and what their expertise is.  The first psychologist I was assigned was a complete clown and shouldn’t work at the VA in any capacity to include the cafeteria. I had asked to see the chaplain because I know some of the Christian beliefs I have psychologists are not always warm to, as many tend to be atheists.  I’ve yet to have a formal visit with the chaplain at the VA.

When I got out and went to college in the early 1990’s when people would learn I was a Veteran they occasionally would thank me for my service. It wasn’t until after Desert Storm that all Veterans including the forgotten Korean War Vets, and the disrespected Vietnam Vets were finally thanked for their service. Nowadays people will profusely thank me for my 2 years of service towards the end of the Cold War.

I would like to ask you, the reader, to include another saying to any Vet out there after you thank them for their service. Ask them how they are doing. If they need any help with anything.  Gratitude is one thing, but helping someone who defended the country with housing, a job, or sharing a meal or giving them a ride to the grocery store, or the VA Hospital or Clinic will help them more.

Thank you, from this Vet for your service to a Vet you encounter in the future. ~~ Publius Jr.

Ulterior Motives for Giving Afghanistan to Red China’s Newest Ally The Taliban

In a two part video former Navy SEAL / CIA Contractor Shawn Ryan has a discussion with former Green Beret Tu Lam about how the Afghanistan withdrawal will benefit Red China and affect the United States. Warning for those who don’t like salty language from a couple of Vets.

Shawn Ryan has a YouTube Channel that interviews various former military individuals who have served since and before 9/11. He has survived the personal hell he dealt with while he served and in the transition to civilian life. His channel will be of some interest to current military and Veterans who have served previously. See his video about how to deal with the social anxiety.  He also has suggestions on finding a good Therapist. He gives the idea to Vets that you’re not the only one with issues, as we all have those moments and it’s okay to get help.

Tu Lam escaped from a Communist Country to serve with honor in the Army Green Berets. There is a great in depth interview with Tu Lam by Shawn Ryan. It’s about 4 hours long but it is very interesting. Lam fulfilled his promise to his mom, joined the Army and became a Green Beret. He served in the military for 23 years, 20 of those years in special operations. After retiring from the service he founded Ronin Tactics, became the inspiration behind Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s Daniel “Ronin” Shinoda and Co-Host of Forged In Fire: Knife or Death on History Channel.



Tu Lam & Shawn Ryan mention about the Trillion Dollar Lithium ore in Afghanistan which is for the taking which Red China can use to own the Battery Market Sector. Lithium is used in a variety of different products, from Aircraft Lithium-Aluminum to all-electric and hybrid vehicles, consumer electronics and internet devices and cellphones.

They mention the project Pakistan and Red China are working on together.

Red China also manufactures most of our pharmaceuticals, the vaccine is made in the same country that originated the virus release.

The origin of the virus comes from the United States and was finished in the Wuhan Lab when NIH questioned what they were doing, but didn’t stop their work but farmed it out in the guise of grants to an off shore lab in Red China. (See Plandemic documentary).


One has to wonder how deep the corruption is in the Biden Organization (this website will never call him President as he didn’t win on November 3, 2020) that he could entertain a sale of a region to nations who are hostile to the USA and a Super Power that is Red China. Everything seems to be connected from Covid (which was patented in North Carolina in 2003), the US Economy Lockdown in 2020, the manufactured absentee ballots which only voted for Biden in swing states and in other states to steal an election from a popular sitting President that “wasn’t supposed to win,” in 2016.

If I didn’t know any better I’d say we are at war with Red China and their Fifth Column in our own Government.

We need to pray to God for our country to be saved by Him. ~~ Publius Jr.


Publius Jr is a US Army Veteran serving from 1987-89, in the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment as a Fire Support Specialist aka Artillery Spotter. I was in college during Desert Shield & Storm and on Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) then. Shawn Ryan & Tu Lam nor their respective companies Vigilance Elite and Ronin Tactics are not associated with this site nor do we receive any compensation, though the Vigilance Elite Gummy candies look delicious. They do have our great respect for their service to the USA. ~~ Publius Jr.

A Tool to Help You Respond to Social Justice Rhetoric

Not everything you hear coming out of Oregon is garbage. A Subscriber sent the “Cheat Sheet” below to help policy makers respond to Social Justice Rhetoric.  The tool is from The Oregon Chapter of the National Association of Scholars.

A Tool for Policy Makers responding to Social Justice Rhetoric. This is from the Oregon National Association of Scholars


The National Association of Scholars is a non-profit organization which seeks reform in higher education.  They describe themselves as the following from their website:

We uphold the standards of a liberal arts education that fosters intellectual freedom, searches for the truth, and promotes virtuous citizenship. To accomplish this mission we defend the academic freedom of faculty members, students, and others through individual advocacy; investigate issues affecting academic freedom, the integrity, purpose, and neutrality of the university and publish our findings as in-depth reportseducate the public about policies and legislation that would preserve the liberal arts and protect academic freedom. These create three pillars from which our work stands: individual advocacy, research reports, and public advocacy.

The Oregon Chapter is made up of professors, graduate students, college administrators, trustees, and independent scholars who are committed to advancing and protecting the integrity and they promote excellence, freedom, and merit in higher education in the state of Oregon.

Dr Bruce Gilley started up the Oregon Chapter of the National Association of Scholars in 2016 as a response to his students. Dr Gilley is a professor of Political Science in the Mark O. Hatfield School of Government at Portland State University. He wrote the article  “Why I Set Up the Oregon Branch of the NAS,” A “woke mob” had accused him of using the wrong gender when he addressed a student in one of his classes. 

The other authors of the image above are Dr James Lindsay and Dr Peter Boghossian, also are professors at Portland State University.

The Oregon Association of Scholars has more publications at their website.


Since it is a National Organization, you might be curious to know if there is a local chapter of the National Association of Scholars in your state. You can find an affiliate chapter at this link.

Minnesota’s Chapter President is Devin Foley.  Mr Foley is a co-founder of the Charlemagne Institute, also known as Intellectual Takeout.

Get a Personal Locator Beacon and a RECCO Reflector When you do Outdoor Activities

Recently, Saintpaulrepublicans.us posted an article, “Combatting MN’s Missing 411 Areas” about geographical clusters in Minnesota where people vanish without a trace under mysterious circumstances, known as Missing 411 cases.  I, Publius Jr, posted it because one of the main industries in Minnesota has to do with tourism in our great outdoors and it is important people are safe, have a good time in our great outdoors and come back often.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MN DNR) has yet to promote using Personal Locator Beacons, or other safety devices other than personal flotation devices, which they do promote.  So I want to inform you of how important these devices are and they are worth the investment in them as without them your life may be in jeopardy if Search and Rescue can’t locate you if you should get lost, injured, or both.

Personal Locator Device (PLB)

The videos below explain in detail how a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) or Satellite Messenger work.  The opinions of the people in the videos are their own.  Though David Paulides, the author of the Missing 411 Series says that people who take a PLB and a firearm to do outdoor activities seemingly never go missing.

The HikingGuy.com video gives an extensive overview of both devices and tells you later in the video he has purchased both of the devices. He has a separate video on when one should use a PLB or Satellite Messenger, you can view that on his YouTube Channel.

Once you purchase one you need to register it.


The REI video says the PLB has an advantage over the Satellite Messenger in that the battery life is in terms of years and there is no monthly subscription fee, however there is no communication with the PLB, once you enable it the Search and Rescue people will get to work to find you with the beacon.  You can find an REI in the Twin Cities and ask one of their salespeople questions you may have.


Captain Cody states the ACR PLB is the best and then goes on to explain why he thinks the other devices are not as good.  He does a test of the device as well as a GPS test (you get 20 tests).

One note about the PLB is that it works on the water and also on land anywhere in the world. He mentions it has two types of strobes for Search and Rescue to find you even at night.


RECCO Reflectors

The RECCO Advanced Rescue Technology has been around for some time in Ski areas, they are starting to branch out to areas that aren’t as prone to avalanches such as Minnesota where we do get snow but nothing like the Rocky Mountains. Though it isn’t just for snowy areas.

Minnesota does not currently have this system, but it would be nice if they did.

They explain on their website recco.com/outdoor-rescue how people with apparel and gear with RECCO reflectors in them or attachable reflectors to your clothes, helmet, and backpacks can be found if they get lost. Their website has a map showing rescues.  This system would be perfect for lost hikers, hunters, mountain bikers, and anglers. The reflector doesn’t have a battery in it that one can tell and it just “searchable,” as they say. 

They have a system they can attach to a helicopter to search large swaths of land at once, making it a more efficient search for someone who is lost.

How does it work? Well it is easy, you wear a garment or have gear that has a RECCO Reflector on it and when a RECCO Detector is used it will find the reflector. Here’s a great video that helps Search and Rescue (SAR) workers find people who are lost.

While the slow gears of government warm to new technology, you can research these products and purchase them now and demand our Minnesota DNR and the SAR teams in the state use this technology.  There shouldn’t be any politics in finding someone who is lost or injured in the outdoors.

Personal Locator Beacons already exist and they are used all over the world now. Invest in one or give them as a gift to a loved one.


This article was not authorized by any manufacturer of any product, this website doesn’t get compensated in any way. I tried to present the material in such a manner in which you can learn from the videos and formulate what device to get if you do get one.  The person who inspired me to write this article is David Paulides, the former policeman who wrote the Missing 411 books.  He advocates Personal Locator Beacons, and also promotes the RECCO Reflectors.  ~~ Publius Jr.
