Multiple storms surrounded our home in Carlsbad, New Mexico this Sunday night, July 2nd, 2023. Lightning flashed in many directions. The wind would kick up and then die down only to kick up again. Occasionally I could hear a clap or two of thunder. Brave souls were again setting off their fireworks in spite of the storms. Their explosions drowned out the thunder.
Traffic continued up and down our street as if oblivious to the storms nearby. Like so many do today. I first started filming in our backyard, facing northeast and east. The hue of the lighting was more orange and red than the blue and white shades when I moved to our front yard. This tells me something about how we view the direction our nation is headed. Orange and red signifies the coming tribulations, the whites and blues the good times the happy times, gone by.
As I begin editing my videos to upload them a quiet meloconic sadness swept over me. I realized that in many ways what I was watching outside represented our America this year. Surrounded by storms, troubles, heartache, and sadness. Shifting winds, chaotic skies, a seemingly bent flag pole. It is, but not to the degree that the camera mislead you. This because I was using the Cinematic wide angle lens on my Gopro Hero11 Black Camera to film with.
America like our flag pole is also bent, broken, being beat down from the winds of change. Her heart aches, her soul is wounded, her children hurting. Coming winds of change none of us have ever experienced.
Yes, I am flying our American flag upside down on purpose. I'm sending a message to all to see it. A desperate cry for help. This is our last stand and we must pull out all of the stops to save her while we can. America is in trouble, terrible trouble never known before. Our nation is bent, battered, and under attack from all sides. Thieves within who hate her have stolen her soul, robbed and imprisoned her people.
We are a captured nation by men and women who never loved her as you and I. America is us. We The people. We are hurting and suffering. We are angry, scared, worried, and sad. Life is not normal, things are not ok.
We are in trouble and we feel it in our bones and our souls. America was, and still is a gift from God. She is ours, not theirs. They can't have her because we won't sit idly by anymore and just let them kill he and take her from us.
All is not lost, this war is not over. We have yet begun to fight. Give us liberty or give us death. We are fighting our second Revolutionary war. It's time to wake up, to stand up, to put up. A time to choose. Our country and the world needs us.
If not us then who? God bless you this 4th of July. Stay safe. Keep your loved ones close and let them know that you do love them. Pray as if you have never prayed before. We can't do this, we can't win this war, without our father...God almighty!
