Of our true allegiance

My thoughts based on the indictments handed down last Friday by Robert Mueller’s office: I’m a military veteran and I now firmly believe our country, the United

States of America, is under siege from an outside government. An effort that constitutes an act of war. The evidence has gradually been uncovered and presented to us by our military and intelligence agencies.

In times like these in the past, all Americans have come together to fight the common enemy. Usually, only after we have had our noses rubbed in the fact that we have a common enemy.

The U.S. military and these agencies are not that enemy. The media are not that enemy. Gun owners and gun-control advocates are not that enemy. Americans arguing between themselves about a thousand other things that constitute what our country is are not that enemy.

Vladimir Putin and the Russian military and intelligence agencies are our enemy and they are attacking all of us and our democratic way of life. They are doing this by hacking our systems, flying false flags, and contributing to certain individuals and entities who are selling America down the drain.

Here’s the hard part you need to come to grips with. To the extent you aid and abet this enemy’s efforts to destroy our country from the inside, by promulgating their attacks, their misdirections and falsehoods as truth, you, my fellow Americans, are also, sad to say, helping that enemy.

Make a commitment now. Decide where your real allegiance is—with your fellow Americans you disagree with on many issues, or the outside forces that see as their goal our destruction as a free country.

It’s time to decide.
