I want to wish each and every one of you the happiest Independence Day possible. Possible, because it seems to me that things are coming to a hideous climax. Israel is starting an all out war because of one kidnapped soldier, and has deprived thousands of electricity and water. The Fed raised their rates again, and the foolish stock market went up 200 points, which to me, is exactly the opposite of what should have happened. We refuse to talk to Iran or North Korea, and insist on trying to foist out ideas on the entire world, which hates us for it. Dollars fluttering down from helicopters may be in the works, which will be dandy to pay off a mortgage of credit card with virtually worthless dollars, huh? Mean while the Gulf waters are hot and promising more hurricanes. Some say that this summer will be very severe for the whole east coast as far as precipitation is concerned.
Enough of that. Just have a ball with picnics, fireworks, swimming, hiking, and camping in the mountains. America is a grand land, and in spite of all the other possible places to move to to escape the D.C. Gang’s follies, I can think of no better place to live. No land on earth has more breathtaking scenery, especially the Colorado Rockies. There are 49 – 14,000 plus peaks in the U.S. and 45 of them are in Colorado. We’re going to Silverton Saturday, and coming back Wednesday. Silverton, elevation 9300, is an old mining town where I at one time had three hotels. Silverton has a grand parade, rhubarb festival, firemen’s water fight, and the state’s best fireworks display as the 4th of July draws to a close. Teddy Roosevelt once said of Colorado’s scenery, that “It bankrupts the English language.”
From Freedom to Fascism opens July 28th in major cities, and a week later in more major cities. If enough people see this film, it may indeed change America for the better. It tackles the IRS and Federal Reserve with both fists and proves that both are totally unconstitutional. Go to the web site – freeedomtofascism.com- and see the trailers. That film is one of the best hopes we have to reform our out-of-control government. If you celebrate the 4th with a 5th, don’t drive while under the influence! See you Thursday.
