Why did I come back this time as an American? Unarmed US Marine veteran socks armed black robber ;-) ; Men in combat can have NDE’s

Marine grabs pistol from negro tryin’ ta get he repamarations……

Outrageous things do happen in America — think of the Stealection, the holding in solitary for nine months (which is torture!!!) of totally innocent January 6 “insurrectionists” !!!!… and the entire Covid thing from start to finish.

But it is much less bad here than in Germany, Canada, England, Italy or France. Why?

Simple.

Americans are heavily armed, which is psychologically transforming. If a cop abuses you, he knows that you can find out where he lives. In many revolutions, certain cops viewed as assholes, bullies and sadists absolutely become targets.

AND 14 millions are veterans, like me and a friend who just bought a house here, and many of them are combat veterans.

Just in my town I see combat veterans of Korea, Nam, Panama, Somalia, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

This is the huge difference between us and other white nations.

We have guns and we know how to use them. It is, as they say, “empowering.”

This white Marine was not about to take this negro’s shit.

And this is why I am here and not in other wonderful white countries. I need people who are both 1) willing to fight and 2) able to fight, that have guns and have used them in a tight spot.

The Marine boot camp is three long months of unending stress. In the end, nothing bothers you much. You just get icy-cold, end all mental chatter, follow your training — and act.

I read once a Vietnam Marine recalling how during a break in the fighting someone asked:

“If you could leave this jungle right now….

.

….and instead be back at boot camp in Parris Island, which would you choose?”

 

Everyone said: “I’d rather be here in combat!” 😉

What did I NOT like about the Marine Corps?

First of all, the feeling, which became a certainty, that I was actually fighting for the jews. 😉

In boot camp they glorified General Smedley Butler (one of just two Marines in 246 years to win TWO Medals of Honor) but, being me, I actually read his book. 😉

.

The other thing was that once you realized that you and your buddies suffered for nothing….. then, while you did not go to pieces in combat (they see to that), the PTSD comes later….. from the feeling of futility and betrayal….

My father would almost moan: “So many good men died in Korea, John, so many good men — and for what?”

Edward Flanagan, Lieutenant USMC, killed 8 February 1953. He and my dad were extremely close.

A handsome Irish-American… I think my dad said he had played football….. but he had no wife, no kids, and no passing-on of his genes…..I can imagine how his mom and dad felt when they got the awful telegram. We cannot afford to lose such people.

 

The other deficiency is that the horrors of war would be immeasurably lessened if people understood (right in boot camp, or long before that….) that we are immortal souls inhabiting temporary bodies, this to have learning, loving and creating experiences, and to grow.

So neither your dying buddy, nor the enemy whom you were forced to kill, is really dead, just his body.

Sad scene from “Saving Private Ryan” –  the medic himself is shot, and he knows it is fatal:

A good comment under this YouTube video:

That’s a powerful scene. My experience in combat as a Corpsman [these are US Navy medics assigned to Marine combat units] is that the injured are quite a bit calmer even after the immediate effects of shrapnel or a gunshot wound.

They kind of roll onto their side or stomach holding their pain, maybe a little groaning before they ultimately roll on their back and breathe the last few times.

There’s not a lot of talking from them (yet a lot from you), just they kinda concentrate on breathing. They look at you a lot with darting eyes and childlike trust. The eyes tell it all.

From one of shock and alarm to confusion and listlessness. Then their grip on your hand softens.

Birds [helicopters] come in and the wounded go first, then the dead. Finally everyone left standing picks up the equipment and bloody bandages before carrying on somehow.

Something young childless people don’t tend to think about is the fact that you just sacrificed the future of your family’s name to a political agenda that you may or may not agree with. …. Today when politicians can’t keep foreign policies consistent across administrations, it’s disgusting, and not worth sacrificing the future of your family for.

It took me getting out of the military, having a family and children, to realize how enormous a fool I was to potentially have thrown all that away.

Good luck on your choice.

I replied:

As a fmr Marine, and son of a WWII and Korea Marine, I appreciated your comment a great deal, and your service, too. (We love all Corpsmen 😉 ) But even WWII ended up in a disaster, as General George Patton realized. In defeating Germany, we saved the Soviet Union, and this enlarged the mortal threat of world communism, which is very much still with us today, and especially on college campuses and in the media.
.
IMO, the hard left (NOT the old-style peace-and-love liberals) is in control of the government and media now under this “Brandon” character.
.
Let us face it as Patton did: We saved communism in 1945.

The top jews absolutely believe in reincarnation.

…..Combat veterans often have NDE’s — near-death experiences — and are ridiculed for speaking about them!

COMBAT VETERANS

IMPACT OF THE NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE ON COMBAT VETERANS

This page is also available as a brochure (PDF) suitable for printing and distribution, though generally this page is kept more up-to-date.  (If you have trouble reading the PDF file, the Adobe Acrobat Reader is available for free download.)


SOME BACKGROUND

What is a Near-Death Experience?

A near-death experience (NDE) is a profound psychological event that may occur to a person close to death or, if not near death, in a situation of physical or emotional crisis. Because it includes transcendental and mystical elements, an NDE is a powerful event of consciousness; it is not mental illness.

How do people react when they have an NDE?

A person who has had a near-death experience has mixed feelings. One person may express anger, grief or relief. Some will remember their NDE immediately, others may have the aftereffects and not remember the experience. Some reactions:

  • Fear that the NDE signifies a mental disorder
  • Disorientation because reality has shifted
  • Euphoria, feeling special or “chosen”
  • Withdrawal to ponder the experience

The person next to me was dying; we thought they were hallucinating, but what they described sounds like an NDE. Could this be true?

People who are dying frequently describe seeing a wonderful light or a landscape they want to enter. They may talk with people who are invisible to every one else, or they may look radiant and at peace. Such “deathbed visions” may be related to NDEs.

In “Nearing Death Awareness”, dying people may be aware of the presence of deceased loved ones who are there to reassure them.

How can knowing about NDEs help me?

If you had an NDE, you are not alone and have not lost your mind.

When NDErs own their experience and have somebody who really knows about it, understands, and gives them the information they need, then those men and women combat veterans can begin to heal.

 


THE MILITARY AND THE NDE

Diane Corcoran is president of the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS), which aims to educate people about the phenomenon, and support those who have gone through it. She’s a retired Army colonel and nurse, serving from the Vietnam War through Desert Storm, and holds a doctorate in management. Corcoran didn’t know what a Vietnam War soldier was trying to tell her in 1969 about his near-death experience on the battlefield. The term was unknown at the time, and Colonel Corcoran could see that what he had gone through was life-changing. She recognized that it was a profound and extremely emotional experience. He was so worried that he would not be believed. Following are excerpts from interviews with Diane Corcoran.

Since that day more than 40 years ago, I have made it my mission to learn more about those who report near-death experiences, especially combat veterans.

Gradually, I came to believe that many soldiers were having near-death experiences as bombs exploded and gunfire nearly took their lives. But many were uncomfortable sharing what happened, and felt they had no one to talk to. But I knew they needed an outlet – someone to share their life-transforming experience with, who wouldn’t be dismissive or think they were crazy.

While clinicians in most healthcare environments may have little knowledge of the NDE and its consequence, additional barriers exist in the military setting because the NDE and its consequences run counter to military culture.

There are many issues, and one of them relates to privacy and fear of disclosing the NDE to military commanders or health care providers. You may be asked to talk to your psychiatrist or psychologist in strict confidentiality, yet they may interpret the NDE as a mental health issue and put that into your record. When providers do not know about NDEs, they may think you have a mental illness and treat it with medication or other inappropriate intervention.

Commanders have great authority in the military and if you go to your commander and say, I need to talk to you privately about this experience I had, that could be the end of your career. It’s a culture in which consequences can happen quickly, and because of a lack of knowledge about NDEs, it may end a soldier’s career. One soldier told me that the minute he told his nurse about his experience, he was sedated for three days and then sent to see a psychiatrist immediately. They thought he was crazy. In fact, people with NDEs are not mentally ill, but may benefit from supportive counseling to help them integrate the experience. Currently, providers are not prepared to offer such counseling.

The military depends on structure and discipline, and this often runs counter to common after-effects of NDEs. Common effects include changed attitudes and beliefs, such as a philosophy of nonviolence, extreme appreciation of nature, high empathy and affection, and different priorities for time management.

The after-effects of an NDE aren’t always conducive to staying in the military, as NDErs may become altruistic and less rule based. The commander of a unit, a West Point graduate with a lot of experience, told me that since his NDE, he was having trouble with command and discipline issues.

All I really want to do is put my arm around these young soldiers, and say we’re going to work it out. And I have to tell them that it may not work out for them in the military, so they may need to find another place that will value their change in attitude.

A US Army study released in 2004 and published in the New England Journal of Medicine reports that for US soldiers returning from Iraq, the total number of combat stress casualties might range from a one-in-five ratio to one in three. Of 6,000 returning vets, nearly one out of every five returning from Iraqi combat experienced anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

The study estimated that 17 percent of soldiers coming home from lraq and Afghanistan are suffering from PTSD, along with anxiety and depression. By comparison, for Gulf War veterans ten years earlier, PTSD rates hover at nine percent. The research was performed at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, and suggests that the military must continue to fight the stigma attached to mental health.

In 2007, the American Psychological Association released the report of a special task force chaired by an active military psychologist and comprised of psychologists working for the military or Veterans Administration. Associated Press science writer, Seth Borenstein, in writing about the report, noted that although more than three out of 10 soldiers met the criteria for a “mental disorder,” far fewer than half of those in need sought help.

NDEs are occurring in these circumstances and have been demonstrated by former ABC news anchor Bob Woodruff, who was nearly killed in Iraq when a road-side bomb exploded near the tank he was riding. As reported by the Associated Press, Woodruff, while answering questions publicly for the first time since his release, told reporters,

“When it actually exploded, I don’t remember that. But I do remember immediately at that moment that I saw my body floating below me and a kind of whiteness.”


Do you feel it's an uphill battle to find someone to understand what combat was like for you?

 

IANDS UNDERSTANDS VETERANS HAVE UNIQUE NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES

  • Physical trauma
  • Psychological trauma
  • Emotional trauma (love, grief, guilt, shame)
  • Exceptional near-death experiences
  • Afraid of being labeled crazy
  • Not being heard or understood
  • No place to turn for help (trust)
  • Worried about losing benefits

IANDS PROVIDES

  • Unconditional support
  • Confidentiality (not shared, can be anonymous)
  • Finding the words to express the experience
  • Assistance in dealing with the aftereffects
  • Safe and secure place to process what occurred (no judgment)

IANDS IS HERE TO HELP SUPPORT THE INDIVIDUAL SERVICE MEMBERS, REHAB FACILITIES, VA AND MILITARY HOSPITALS.

We have developed an educational program for the military environment. Col. Corcoran will come to your facility and present a lecture and program to give you basic knowledge about identifying and supporting service members who have had Near-Death Experiences (NDE). She will provide you with a lecture so you can continue training providers and assist with other resources. This would qualify for continuing education credits for all disciplines. She will also be available to help these facilities on a continuing basis until they are able to educate their own experts. There are many opportunities for research in this field, and we would be happy to assist if you have people interested.

 

JUST CALL — WE ARE HERE TO SERVE YOU. THANK YOU FOR SERVING!

…. Albrecht Dürer’s famous 1513 engraving: Knight, Death and Devil

The knight must overcome his fear of death (center) as well as the opposition or temptations of devil (right) to reach that high city on a hill.

The Moral Hero in ‘Knight, Death, and the Devil’

Reaching Within: What traditional art offers the heart
By Eric Bess
August 23, 2021 Updated: August 23, 2021
[source: https://www.theepochtimes.com/the-moral-hero-in-knight-death-and-the-devil_3956597.html]

I sometimes wonder what it means to be the hero in one’s own life story. How might we lead a virtuous and dignified life despite hardships? This is not an unusual question in any sense. Cultures across time and in different places have wrestled with this moral question.

Albrecht Dürer, the Printmaker

Born in Germany during the late 15th century, Albrecht Dürer was one of many artists interested in asking moral questions during the Renaissance period. He was an accomplished painter and draftsman, but many of his greatest works are in the medium of printmaking. He pushed printmaking to new heights and legitimized it as an independent art form.

One of his greatest print series is the “Meisterstiche” or master engravings, which are a group of three images: “Saint Jerome in His Study,” “Melancholia,” and “Knight, Death, and the Devil.”

According to the Metropolitan Museum of Art website, these three prints were “intended more for connoisseurs and collectors than for popular devotion,” suggesting that the prints’ symbolism was specific to a limited audience. The specific meanings behind these three prints still stump scholars today.

With that said, we will look only at “Knight, Death, and the Devil,” which corresponds to notions of morality in the philosophy of medieval scholasticism. Our intention isn’t to decipher what the connoisseurs and collectors in the 1500s thought about the symbolic imagery but to see if this image stimulates moral questions for us today.

‘Knight, Death, and the Devil’

In “Knight, Death, and the Devil,” Dürer depicts four prominent figures: the Knight riding a horse, Death also on a horse, the Devil, and a dog.

The Knight is in full armor as if he is ready for battle. He holds a spear and steadies it against his shoulder. With his other hand, he grasps his horse’s rein. He looks directly in front of him as his horse walks forward. A dog follows closely beside the Knight’s horse.

Compositionally, Death is to the left of the Knight. Death wears a crown with entangled snakes and holds an hourglass in his hand. He also sits on a horse that bows its head toward a skull on the tree stump ahead of the Knight. Death looks directly at the Knight.

The Devil watches the Knight intensely from behind. Dürer depicts the Devil as a chimeric monster: He has goat-like ears, ram horns, a rhinoceros-like horn on the back of his head, a wolf-like snout with a pig nose, and long jowls hanging from both sides of his mouth. He holds a sharp weapon in his hand and reaches out for the back of the Knight with his other hand.

The jagged rocks and gnarly trees of the mountainous terrain suggest a difficult journey. Off in the distance, however, we can see a castle against the sky at the mountain’s peak.

The Moral Hero

I think it’s evident that the Knight is on a journey, but a journey to where? What is his relationship to the other figures on this journey, and how might this relationship inform us morally?

Let’s first start with what these figures might symbolize. I think the Knight is our moral hero. He is in full armor with a spear, not to fight off mortal enemies, I believe, but to protect himself against Death and the Devil on his journey.

Death, with his mouth agape and the hourglass in his hand, seems to almost sneer at the Knight. It’s as if he warns the Knight, “Your time is almost up, and you’ll be subject to me, king of the dead.” Death’s horse also bows down toward the skull on the tree stump as if to bring the Knight’s attention to it.

The snakes on Death’s crown are an interesting addition by Dürer. Snakes were traditionally symbolic of both life and death. In the Christian tradition, however, snakes became associated with both Death and the Devil, and the Devil’s purpose was to undermine God and tempt humans. Thus, the snakes depicted here likely associate Death with the Devil and temptation.

Interestingly enough, the Knight doesn’t look at Death; that is, he is not “tempted” by the fear of Death. He is not concerned that his time is limited. His helmet appears to prevent him from looking at Death even if he wanted to. Instead, the Knight looks straight ahead and continues his journey.

The chimeric appearance of the Devil suggests the Devil’s ability to take on different forms to achieve his ends deceptively. The Devil reaches out to grab onto the Knight from behind. The Knight appears not to notice, which also suggests how crafty and deceptive the Devil can be.

The Knight appears to be stuck between a rock and a hard place—that is, between Death and the Devil—and this feeling is enhanced by the rocky and gnarly terrain.

Or does the Knight’s demeanor suggest something different? His calm and stoic appearance might mean that he is unfazed by Death and the Devil.

The dog beside the horse may be symbolic of loyalty, but loyalty to what? Loyalty to the Knight, most likely. Thus, the Knight represents the moral hero, that is, the one who remains unaffected by temptation (the Devil) and fear (Death) for the sake of completing a journey.

Perhaps, the fact that the Knight has passed the Devil suggests that he has already overcome the Devil’s temptations, and the fact that his helmet blocks the view of Death indicates that he is unconcerned with Death. The Knight’s unaffected and calm demeanor even diminishes the perceived power of Death and the Devil.

Is it then the case that being a moral hero on the journey of life consists in fearlessness and ignoring temptation?

And what is the destination of this journey? The castle seems to be a place of peace relative to the rest of the image. It even appears to be a place of light and glory compared to the darker, gloomy environment below.

[end]

.

First, we embrace the challenge and conquer ourselves. Then the fear of death, then of failure, then the jews.

We shall soon begin to destroy the wicked, then build a beautiful new world. We will enjoy it in our next lives, right here on this amazing and fascinating earth, which is our physical home.

The order, wealth, happiness and security will be unimaginable. HaPPINESS IS KNOWING YOUR GOVERNMENT RESPECTS AND LOVES YOU.

    • I have met many fine women who are former Marines…still slim, trim and resolute. One came onto me the other day in Rockland. 😉 Erect bearing…nice features… looked me right in the eye, good hairstyle… . Sensible. Anything but a ditz.

      It’s a volunteer military, and the Marines do attract a certain type. 🙂

      Women can do many useful non-combat things in the military, freeing men up for combat.

      But Israel tried women in combat and the men went to pieces when they got wounded or killed. They literally stopped fighting to care for them.

    • Because knowledge does not change their wicked hearts.

      But they are basically NOT allowed to “interfere,” not openly. ?They cannot “fight our battles for us.”

      There are good reason for their world and ours to be separate.

      But encouraging things, new chances, messages and people, might just happen to you. 🙂

      Someone might get to “pull some strings.”

    Peppermint Tea

    Peppermint tea is effective in treating intestinal parasites, and is also an herbal remedy for cramps and bloating 1. Peppermint also aids the salivary glands during the digestion process, and helps to relieve individuals suffering from bowel ailments. While peppermint has powerful antibacterial properties and can rid the body of parasites and other toxins, it’s best to consult a physician before drinking the herb tea on a regular basis, as taking conventional antifungal medications along with peppermint could cause toxic effects that intensify sickness.

  3. I wouldn’t say things in USA is less bad than Europe as there is less violent and homicidal crimes here in Europe than in USA –

  4. Yes, John, there are two things I absolutely envy you for having in the USA, the first two Amendments to your Constitution:

    1) Free speech and 2) the right to bear arms.

    There would be no raids because of hate speech, for siding with the Russians in the Ukrainian war, or for insulting some poli-tick!
    Unfortunately it happens here more often than not.

    And about the arms. Here the so-called monopoly of violence is enforced.

    They even cracked down hard on the soccer hooligans in the 1990s.

    While I think beating each other up because of the preference for another football club is idiotic, I don´t see why people should not choose to brawl with each other when no unwilling parties are involved.

    They are just afraid of the hooligans as these are not as easily bullied into obedience as others.

    Some years ago [here in Germany] there was the “Hooligans against Salafists” (HoGeSa, the “Hooligans Gegen Salafisten”).

    While it was unfortunately influenced by kosher “patriotism,” it clearly carried the message: “Don´t mess with the hooligans.”

    There is an interesting book I read some years ago. “Gewalt ist eine Lösung: Morgens Polizist, abends Hooligan – mein geheimes Doppelleben.”

    It was written by the ex-cop Stefan Schubert. While he isn´t exactly nationalistic, he is critical of the System. And he said he trained to defend himself because of Turks that bullied him when he was a school boy.

    He learned to defend himself and they left him alone then.

    The book is not only about hooliganism, but also how the system works. He states there is a secret database of people which the state agencies can easily access. He was booted out of the police force in 1998 because he and his buddies defended themselves against Turks that stole their beer during a party.

    Ridiculous, but that´s how it works here.

    A similar thing about a secret database was stated by Stefan Hoh – another former hooligan – in his book “In kleinen Gruppen, ohne Gesänge”, which is a rather humorous read but still has some nasty descriptions of power abuse by cops.

    He said he was even visited at his home by cops who forbade him to go the World Cup in France.

    He answered they should look into their inofficial database that he was already inactive for some years.

    In my opinion, most cops nowadays are assholes, as was also seen when they abused their power to beat unarmed protesters during the anti-Corona-Covid demonstrations. A handful might be ok. Still, their oath is to the state, not to the people.

    Firearms are heavily regulated here. You can own them if you have a hunting license or are a member of a rifle club. Still, they will take them away if you are under suspicion of being a “nazi”, or a “Reichsbürger”…They might even take them away using a raid.

    Even alarm guns can only be bought with a license.

    It´s ridiculous how much weapons are regulated here or even things that can be used as such. Cops can even take an ordinary knife away from you!

    Pepper spray can legally only be used against animals. CS gas is allowed against humans, but junkies and alcoholics might not be affected by it.

    Of course the gimmegrants all carry knives. Why should they care about the laws [designed to intimidate Germans]?

    I despise this combination of anarchy and tyranny more and more every day.

    A friend of mine works as a train driverand only goes out with a stab-protection vest on his duties. That´s how bad things have become.

    About Albrecht Dürer, he was a great artist. I also love this picture!

    https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feldhase_(D%C3%BCrer)

    It looks so real and natural. Seeing what today passes as art, it´s a shame how deep Western culture has fallen.
