An Open Letter/Solicitation to Every Military Veteran and Veteran Organization in America
To Every Military Veteran and Veteran Organization (“Vets”):
Just when will Vets have had enough? When is enough, enough?
At what point does a bright red line get drawn beyond which going backward will no longer be tolerated?
This is a direct and open call to every veteran and veteran organization in America to join together, stand up, speak out and in a unified manner immediately bring complete cessation to the open, blatant direct violations of our fundamental rights.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”US Declaration of Independence, e.g., https://www.monticello.org/declaration/
“The Founding Fathers believed devoutly that there was a God and that the unalienable rights of man were rooted - not in the state, nor the legislature, nor in any other human power - but in God alone”. Tom C. Clark
When applied to military veterans the context changes instantly and most dramatically.
Why?
Because every veteran personally committed with their own devout seal and sworn oath before God to place their own lives at risk (payable on demand) for their country and our liberties. Those sworn duties render all veterans to be bound for life to “protect and defend” our Constitution, those inalienable rights by any and all legal and available means against any and all that would degrade, delimit, and/or deny the same (domestic or foreign). e.g., https://www.army.mil/values/oath.html.
Those duties of honor directly bring homage and unwavering respect to\for the many millions of our own that have paid the ultimate price, sacrificing (as well their families and loved ones) their all for God, country, and our freedoms. e.g., file:///C:/Users/Owner/Downloads/fs_americas_wars.pdf; https://military-history.fandom.com/.../United_States...
The straight forward fact is all Americans are now faced with seemingly coordinated and deliberately focused all encompassing efforts by so-called “Big Tech” elites for complete domination and control over virtually every aspect of our lives – infinite forms of unbridled destruction of our freedoms and “inalienable rights”. see, e.g.,https://www.scientificamerican.com/.../big-tech-out-of.../, https://www.sctonline.net/big-tech-eroding-freedoms-0, https://themillenniumreport.com/.../the-hidden-powers.../, https://www.frc.org/washingtonupdate/20201029/big-tech, https://books.apple.com/.../the-final-fight.../id1599907362
Whatever the form (censorship, denied access, etc.) eradicated freedoms usually mean either “totalitarianism” (asserting total control over the lives of citizens) and/or “authoritarianism” (using the blind submission of its citizens to achieve authority, control, and same results). see, e.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvaAqDTMwVM; https://www.reviewjournal.com/.../victor-davis-hanson.../
In point of fact a major salient of attacks upon our freedoms are being targeted and specifically focused upon all military veterans, active military, and their families. see, e.g., https://www.citizen.org/.../1-53-million-veterans-are.../, https://reimagineamerica.org/.../homeless-veterans-is.../,https://www.union-bulletin.com/.../article_96543ba2-a701..., https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/its-time-to-fix-the..., https://www.marinecorpstimes.com/.../va-to-offer-gender.../
Think about it?
Big Tech elitists (essentially faceless self proclaimed intellectuals apparently driven by delusional authoritarian fantasies of utopias of their own creation and control) (few in any have ever served this country in our military or put their own lives on the line for our country, Constitution, or liberties) effectively deem our military (active duty and veterans) to be mere expendable cogs in a wheel to be manipulated and controlled - used, misused, and abused (sole purpose to protect and defend Big Tech domains and interests – all other interests to be secondary at best). e.g., https://www.thethinkingconservative.com/the-tyranny-of.../
These abuses and denial of rights to and for all veterans and their families have to cease right now – immediately – no more talking – time for action!
Simply put Big Tech can only exist, function, and profit respecting its elitist authoritarian efforts to the extent all veterans and veteran organizations allow such to continue – only if veterans do nothing – just comply!
This is an open direct call to all veterans and veteran organizations to unite and join together to stop the denial and erosion of rights.
“A right delayed is a right denied.”
“Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.”
“The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict.” Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
This is an open and direct call to all veterans and veteran organization to stop complying with unjust and detrimental efforts by Big Tech that would disadvantage and injure (especially economically) all veterans and their families.
“The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people.” Martin Luther King, Jr
This effort has absolutely nothing to do with politics or any political view in any manner. Be very clear – regardless of race, creed, color, gender or ethnicity any and all veterans and their families have been and remain focused targets for discrimination and inequalities. The issues presented are straight forward - urging any and all veterans and veteran organizations to unite, stand up, speak out and stop the denial, erosion, or degradation of fundamental rights and liberties?
“The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.” Alice Walker
“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” Dr Martin Luther King Jr.
Unless and until veterans unite and oppose Big Tech and the ongoing tyrannies more veterans and their families will continue to suffer even greater indignities, injuries and harm (especially economic). Please note the latest indignity to be leveled upon veterans and their families - Biden Administration Considering Pulling Health Care from Veterans to Treat Illegal Aliens, see, e.g., https://www.westernjournal.com/report-biden.../...
“A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right. A man dies when he refuses to stand up for justice. A man dies when he refuses to take a stand for that which is true.” Dr Martin Luther King Jr.
“Where you see wrong or inequality or injustice, speak out, because this is your country. This is your democracy. Make it. Protect it. Pass it on.” Thurgood Marshal
“Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope.” Robert F Kennedy
[Personal Context]
I personally, as well Operation Veteran Empowerment (a veteran created, operated 501(c)(3) nonprofit, wholly non partisan educational platform dedicated entirely to the empowerment and welfare of veteran (veteran family) interests most especially respecting business operations, financing, and achieving economic desire goals) have now become a victim as well all veterans. e.g., http://www.ultimatefinancingguide.com/operation-veteran.../
Personally, professionally and through American Empowerment dba Operation Veteran Empowerment I have actively and energetically sought to be a positive and constructive advocate for all veteran issues (as well veteran families) over the last 30 years plus. That includes direct support for (often personal involvements) in local and national veteran organizations, efforts, events, and programs. see generally, http://www.ultimatefinancingguide.com/our-partners/, http://www.ultimatefinancingguide.com/about-the-author/, http://www.americanempowerment.org/speaker-requests/
In furtherance of those same goals and efforts I have been and remain a frequent writer, speaker, volunteer respecting critical veteran issues especially regarding medical/health, economic, safety, and welfare affecting veterans and veteran families, see, e.g., https://www.facebook.com/OpVetEmpower, http://www.americanempowerment.org/think-about-it-wake.../, http://www.americanempowerment.org/the-coronavirus.../, http://www.americanempowerment.org/small-business.../, http://www.americanempowerment.org/perhaps-the-least.../, http://www.americanempowerment.org/business-personal.../
For more years than can be counted I personally or through American Empowerment/Operation Veteran Empowerment have routinely (for some years on a daily basis) submitted commentary, posted articles on LinkedIn the overwhelming majority of which have dealt either directly or indirectly with critical and often vital veteran issues (garnering a following over 2000 followers and connecting to approximately 56 separate groups of which most were veteran composed or affiliated).
Within recent months I personally and my nonprofit sites have come under the dedicated scrutiny of LinkedIn for daring to report, post articles on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/ directly or indirectly to critical veteran related issues that apparently did not meet or comport with the Big Tech seemingly always changing “dictated narratives” – usually temporarily removing asserting vague “community standards” as grounds (always 100% subjective).
In each instance I have most respectfully appealed such decisions (ironic that in almost every case such have occurred many weeks after the fact by definition meaning countless thousands had already read or seen the noted post/article).
In virtually every instance I submitted lengthy explanations usually accompanied by endless citations to categorically prove\demonstrate that all statements were or could be independently verified as objective facts and/or readily provable from the public domain.
In virtually every single instance the appeals were accepted and the specific posted questioned rendered after the fact as “un restricted”.
Unbelievably within the last few weeks LinkedIn (without the slightest advance warning or notice) unceremoniously and unilaterally summarily restricted not only my personal but as well American Empowerment or other nonprofit accounts (effectively destroying over a decade of established business and professional records, contacts, and long held relationships – overwhelmingly veteran in character or nature).
I immediately sought to appeal respectfully requesting specific grounds for such actions and/or to identify what if any posts were deemed to be a problem?
I respectfully requested opportunity to confront whatever LinkedIn perceived as a problem and to be allowed opportunity to submit supporting independently verifiable objective facts and/or as well proof of all being already in the public domain.
Despite three separate and independent written appeals, LinkedIn has summarily refused the following:
*Any and all access to my accounts or business records therein,
* Refused to specifically identify how or when any alleged post was subjectively deemed inappropriate,
*Refused to allow any confrontation of any alleged problem and denial of any opportunity to submit explanatory proofs or independently verifiable objective facts to support.
Finally LinkedIn has now openly admitted that I personally (as well any and all affiliated nonprofit accounts/sites) have been “PERMANENTLY” banned from its site – no more appeals will be accepted or entertained.
Even the most fundamental precepts for fairness, equality endemic to every version of “DUE PROCESS” have now been summarily denied. By definition such action is patently not only egregious but as well arbitrary and capricious violating all fundamental rights. see, e.g., http://www.americanempowerment.org/think-about-it.../;
This cannot be tolerated respecting myself and/or any veteran or veteran organization - any time or any place. This must be confronted for the benefit and in furtherance of all veteran interests.
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
"Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are." Benjamin Franklin
“Freedom and justice cannot be parceled out in pieces to suit political convenience. I don’t believe you can stand for freedom for one group of people and deny it to others”. Coretta Scott King
This is an urgent and immediate call out to all veterans and veteran organizations to unite, stand up, speak out to protect and defend our country, our Constitution, and inalienable rights!
“The reason why the world lacks unity, and lies broken and in heaps, is, because man is disunited with himself”. Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Where there is unity there is always victory”. Publilius Syrus
Freedom is not Free!
All are urged to stand up, speak out - else either use those freedoms or lose them!
God bless
