History Repeats

What a tease! I was expecting rain last week and as usual all we got was about 5 minutes of sprinkles. I do live in the desert after all. Summer days are here and other than work not much happening. Drill weekend was slow but as usual working both days. The unit may start to crack down on the so many disappearing an not working but at this point I do not care. HM1 Garcia is slowly making her way out of this NOSC and to her next duty station and she will be greatly missed. Two more Corpsmen from our unit got tagged for deployment and the trend continues.

Oh, I almost forgot to say the most important thing. Roisin finally lands a job! A big relief for her and me as I was also getting worried. A skilled and experienced nurse and having a hard time getting a job. She will be closer to home and hope she adjusts quickly and nicely and ends up being good for her.

More and more sites are being shut down and accounts shut down by Facebook. Why? The answer is simple but many refuse to see the real reason. Slowly we are being shut down and soon many will fear what they write or even think in fear of being shut away or persecuted. More and more people are being persecuted or worse, incarcerated for no real reason other than speaking out and exercising their constitutional right. Is this what 1930s Germany felt like? May sound impossible but maybe book burning is not too far fetched.

I know this administration is waiting for the Zimmerman trial to come to a conclusion in hopes Zimmerman is found not guilty as he was before so they can place the "stooges" to start riots and protests so DHS can pull out again all their armored gear and weapons and put their civilian "glorified security guards" against us to see how far they can go with us before it is enough. Zimmerman, brought to trial because of a few public figures always citing racism for their agenda and pockets. Never are these individuals touted as "terrorist" as what they cite is hate and harm to others. Racism will never cease to exist in or society as long as we use it for an agenda. However the case was declared again a justified self defense and riots were said to happen and as I believed nothing really happened. Answer this - If someone attacked you and you believed to be in great harm and the possibility of never seeing your family again. Would you not defend yourself? I most certainly would.

Finished reading Ringworld and was a little disappointed at the book. It didn't catch me as I was hoping. Ringworld makes my 35th book read this year thus far and completes my reading challenge and new years resolution set. I was surprised to have read so many books so fast. I will continue of course and bump it up to 50 books by years end. My next read is Jack McDevitt's newest book The Cassandra Project and not great reviews but the premise of the story sound good and he is one of my favorite authors to read.
