The State of Iowa

The United States of America communicated what defined the soul and heartland of our nation to our adversaries during World War II with the deployment of the Iowa Class Battleship. This class of naval warship represents the pinnacle of achievement and technological advancement of line-of-sight nautical warfare before the aircraft carrier command, control, communications, computers, combat systems, and intelligence (C5I) engagement paradigm was instituted into modern naval tactics and strategy. The State of Iowa must represent this great heritage by deploying acts representing and manifesting this great tradition.

The soul of a nation is the very anchor that maintains the ship’s position concerning its constitutional values and bill of rights. It would seem logical that the use of the word vexatious by the leadership of the State of Iowa against an honorably discharged Veteran seeking public records documenting their form of administration and historical conduct may be nothing more than evidence supporting that they are unaware of the correct spelling and proper definition of the word Veteran.

“Truly I tell you,” he continued, “no prophet is accepted in his hometown.”

while producing evidence of historical acts meant to damage the rights, liberties, and access to public accommodations of others, possibly to protect their grip on the necessary political power to manifest a reality compatible with their selfish desires and vision.

“And yet I know that this plainness of speech makes them hate me, and what is their hatred but a proof that I am speaking the truth? – this is the occasion and reason of their slander of me, as you will find out either in this or in any future inquiry.”

A state that sleeps with its 2nd Amendment devices while banning books and producing evidence of concealing its public records manifests evidence supporting the existence of its leadership’s fear. At the same time, tyranny is the only thing that grows in gardens maintained by this form of leadership. Freedom and equality of law are only born and grow while defended by the honorable, courageous, and committed.

Democratic leadership is a paradigm of transparency and humility before God. The righteous know that true power is only manifested by the Father, witnessed by the Son, and testified to by those who serve only the Truth and the Light. Those who believe power is exemplified by the evidence of their arrogance and vanity that they bear in their arms will only find themselves lost in darkness while surrounded by the potter’s broken clay.

We must defend what we are, or we will manifest a country that proves to our global partners that we have forgotten who we are.

I pray for a nation that deploys devices with unlimited bullets. At the same time, it limits the people’s access to public documents that articulate the soul of their country and the proper form of their freedom.

If we are to properly defend our freedoms, we must first show the Adversary that its form of tyranny is nothing more than a paradigm similar to waves in a bathtub bumping against our hull. At the same time, we navigate the evidence of Iowa’s Gulf of Tyranny while executing acts in accordance with the US and Iowa Code.

“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.”

I was born and raised in Iowa, and a branch of my ancestry originates from Missouri. I will adhere to and always provide and manifest evidence within my acts that confirms my loyalty to our nation’s constitutions and our laws while serving the people until I die. At the same time, if I am to believe those who lead us are honorable and ethical, they will be required to “Show Me” their license and registration (public records) confirming this.

Shipmate: “What was that sound?”
Merritt: “I am not certain but it sounded like a rich person’s thesaurus bounced against our hull.”
