A Patriot’s view of the history and direction of our Country



                   Intelligence.  This is what fosters growth – through positive change

                   and  improvements.    Tunnel  Intelligence  is  the  lack  of  recognizing,
                   accepting and making use of information when the information is

                   available, failing to seek information beyond what is provided.
                       Tunnel Intelligence can be thought of as the area in which facts

                   are  squeezed  to  fit  the  existing  knowledge.    The  information  and
                   facts,  if  looked  from  outside  of  the  tunnel,  may  reveal  the  truth

                   about an agenda and lead to additional information and facts.  Ego,
                   failing to admit that it could be something else, is what reinforces

                   Tunnel  Intelligence.    There  is  such  a  strong  belief,  based  upon
                   personal, occupational and educational prejudices, of information to

                   be  true;  there  is  an  abject  failure  to  realize  the  informational
                   uncertainty.

                       Having Tunnel Intelligence is similar to persons walking through
                   life in what security professionals call ‘white’ – or unaware of their

                   surroundings.  Except, they are unaware of the freedoms, rights and
                   individual sovereignty in exchange for assuming their governments

                   have  the  authorities  not  granted  by  our  founding  documents.    As
                   individuals, voters and We the People, we must be fully aware of the

                   information which is both presented and missing; the agenda.  True
                   freedom  of  thought  is  reached  by  escaping  the  Tunnel  and

                   expanding  Intelligence.    Moreover,  it  is  being  both  able  and
                   confident  enough  to  leave  the  comfort  zone  of  the  existing

                   knowledge for new information.  Simply ask, how did a crisis evolve

                   to become an emotional trigger to legislation?  The whole function
                   of  the  legislative  branch  of  all  governments  is  to  find  reasons  to
                   create  laws.    Emotions  generate  rhetoric  that  is  force  fed  as  fact
