Dear Senator Kelly,

May 22 2024  

Reflections this day of 71 years and 2 months of solar cycles 



Reading I have learned that war in the geographical area known as The Levant has from recorded history to present passed from tribal conflicts, to geopolitical conflicts involving then kingdoms of Egypt, and Persia, and Rome. Moving on to the fall of Rome and the Ottoman Empire which ruling up until the end of WW I. , at which point an overly optimistic League of Nations sought to create, out of thin air, new national boundaries for the peoples of the Levant.


The resulting Holocausts' of death and bloodshed are what have occurred when "well meaning" outsiders decided the fate of people beyond their own borders. Or perhaps I should say, when those outsiders failed to meet the commitment of following through to completion the decision to intervene in the fate of people beyond their own borders. 


It was a long and bloody road from the fall of the Ottoman Empire after 1917 to the end of WW II and Israel's declaration of statehood in 1948. From the out-set the Arab and Jewish peoples failed to come to terms with their lust over the land. The military powers of the east and west i.e. Russia, and Britain and the USA played the two conflicted Arab and Jewish peoples against each other for their own geopolitical ends. The British failed miserably and withdrew. The USA i.e. Harry Truman, turned a blind eye, (or took 30 pieces of silver) to the Arab peoples and chose to endorse the fabrication of a nation out of thin air from the immigrants of Jewish people fleeing Nazi Germany and opposing Communist Russia, so that the USA would have a geopolitical foothold in the oil rich Levant. 


We today are paying that price for oil and misplaced trust. 


A nation predicated upon the foundation of a single religious domination of any one peoples over another has been predicted to fail in our 1st Amendment since the founding of our United States. 


It was a bad idea then. It is still so today. 


Until We the USA stop Reacting to our perceived geopolitical back-footed defensive attitude in the face of Russia, and now China, and start Acting in an attitude of higher altitude that reflects our high moral ground in our Constitution, then We are doomed to repeat these life and death mistakes.


Yours truly, Peter Zabriskie

Kosciuszko's Advice to a Youth To do honor to your family and yourself and at my recommendation, you must reread what follows every day so that it will be engraved on your memory on which your well being will depend. Rise at four in the summer and six in the winter. Your first thoughts must be directed towards the Supreme Being; worship Him for a few minutes. Set yourself to work with reflection and intelligence, either at your prescribed duty carried out in the most scrupulous manner, or perfect yourself in some science in which you should have true mastery. Avoid lying under any circumstances in your life, but always be frank and loyal and always tell the truth. Never be idle but be sober and frugal even hard on yourself while indulgent to others. Do not be vain nor an egotist (1763 https://www.etymonline.com/word/egoist). Before speaking or answering on something, reflect and consider well in order not to lose your point and say something stupid. Never fail to give due recogniti...

 Crosby, Still, Nash & Young - Find the Cost of Freedom lyrics    Daylight again, following me to bed I think about a hundred years ago, how my fathers bled I think I see a valley, covered with bones in blue All the brave soldiers that cannot get older been askin' after you Hear the past a callin', from Ar- -megeddon's side When everyone's talkin' and noone is listenin', how can we decide? (Do we) find the cost of freedom, buried in the ground Mother earth will swallow you, lay your body down Find the cost of freedom, buried in the ground Mother earth will swallow you, lay your body down (Find the cost of freedom buried in the ground) Crosby, Still, Nash & Youn g https://youtu.be/0nlXmYVE_X8 https://youtu.be/Gq7qvc1ZNAs

This case from SCOTUS.BLOG is an interesting one for a law scholar. IMHO the Justices will earn their keep writing their decisions on this case.  I hope they decide for the Government here.  In my view Congress in the wake of financial collapse of Wall Street acts in good faith to create oversight and penalties for money traders. It is IMHO the pure design of money traders to invent new ways around the laws Congress makes for their self interest of making money. And therfor Congress acting in The Peoples' behalf to protect The Peoples' 'Happiness' in their hard earned money is well founded.  It is my worry that the present SCOTUS with it's Super Funded Republican backers will side for the Wall Street Hounds and their circumnavigation of Congress' law and not We the People and our at risk 401k's.    CASES  EMERGENCY DOCKET PETITIONS STATISTICS NEWSFEED  ABOUT      PETITIONS OF THE WEEK Another federal agency challenges adverse ruling by 5...
