April 19

Hello Everybody, Frank here.

April 19th is a big day in our country. No, you don’t get the day off and it’s not the birthday of some old, dead President, but it is a day that you need to pay attention.

Rules.

• Avoid crowds. Of course I stole that from Ol’ Remus.
• Next, look at the first rule.
• Last rule – NEVER TRUST THE GOVERNMENT

 
This will be a short article so don’t go to sleep just yet. 

Follow me now.

Lexington and Concord – April 19, 1775

Our government attacked the citizens, or they were going to, anyway. You say, No Frank, that’s not right. It was the British soldiers that attacked. Well, the heroes of that time that we call heroes, the American Revolutionaries, were British citizens and spoke British English. But getting back to the point, they were coming after us.

Waco, Texas – April 19, 1993
David Koresh of the Branch Davidians, a religious leader, a preacher, I guess you would say, helped fund his church by legally buying and selling used guns.

Every morning Reverend Koresh went for a jog and stopped in a little cafe and had coffee to shoot the breeze with the local folks. This was his routine, daily. I do believe these folks were Christians and they chose to live their life together. If they, the government, wanted to talk to Mr. Koresh, why didn’t they have a cup of coffee with him? Instead, they lied to the Governor of the State of Texas to get her military equipment after their unsuccessful raid of the Branch Davidian compound. Why did they have to kill, or better yet murder, all of those women and children? Why did they have to burn them to death in an inferno?

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma – April 19, 1995
The Murrah Federal Building. Timothy McVeigh and some of his helpers detonated a bomb directly in front of the Murrah Building.

The ground level floor was something similar to a daycare with little children. There are a lot of discrepancies and stories that came out of that escapade. The Oklahoma City (OKC) fire department just happened to be doing a bomb drill that morning. There were FBI agents from Dallas in OKC that lied about being there. Sadly, they used a private credit card for their hotel room. Why was the OKC bomb sniffing dog team out practicing that morning? Other people on death row stay there for years, but not Timothy McVeigh. Why were entire offices of federal agents empty the day of the Murrah blast? Why did they kill all of those women and children?

There are other tragic events that happened on April 19th, but the reason for this short article is to remind you that April 19th will be here very soon. There are people out there that will kill you, your family and everyone in your area for their convenience and no one will ever be prosecuted for it.

On a side note. It’s also Holy Week. Sunday. Easter is the biggest holiday in the Christian world. 

Pay attention everybody. Remember, there are those that will do you harm.

We’ll talk more later,  Frank
