Texas Drifter: Texans Serving Their Fate

Marshall’s Law Dateline – February 23, if Texas Drifter’s math is correct, is 179th anniversary of start of siege behind crumbling walls of an old church called “The Alamo”.

Few background information inserts from: THE ALAMO – Original Title “13 Days To Glory” by Lon Tinkle – Copyright 1958 by Lon Tinkle published by McGraw-Hill Book Company New York, New York.

Little background
1. (page 83) –“Davy Crockett, like Travis, Bowie, and Bonham, grew up in a world in which the American Revolution was the single greatest event in all history.”
2. (page 64) – “Travis was not patient like Stephen F. Austin; his was not a cool brain, like Jim Bowie’s; he was not full of cunning, like Sam Houston; certainly not a hero, like Davy Crockett. Of them all, he was the only one who had not spent his youth before coming to Texas.”
Specific background Travis
1. (page 59) “It was a characteristic gesture of the six-foot-tall, auburn-haired youth who seemed at times to exist for a sense of duty. The Travises were staunch Baptists – Travis own uncle had founded the Baptist stronghold of Evergreen college in Alabama – and the young lawyer had grown up expecting as much of himself as his rigorous code caused him to expect of others.”
2. (page 59) “If Travis was a good man to start a war, the hotheaded youth was an equally good one to fight it.”
Texans future placed in wrong Texan’s fate
1. (page 99) “It may have even been decided the day that James W. Fannin was born, for the key to the fate of the Alamo garrison lay in the character of the Goliad commander. (Fannin according to Captain Burr H. Duval writing to his father …) “… Had the best trained and best-equipped army the Texans ever put into the field.” (Reader can read “Chapter 10” of Lon Tinkle’s book to see how fate can be eternally cruel to least deserving)
2. (page 99) “Fannin knew what he had and meant it to serve his personal glory. Chance had put him where Sam Houston should have been.”
(End excerpts: THE ALAMO – Original Title “13 Days To Glory” by Lon Tinkle – Copyright 1958 by Lon Tinkle published by McGraw-Hill Book Company New York, new York.)

Another issue of fate intervening; some suggest that had Bowie’s rugged lifestyle not left Bowie in poor health; Travis would have never “by chance” had opportunity to write his letter that changed history.

Something else Texans and Americans might consider doing for America’s ongoing contemporary war of words against contemporary tyrants and tyrannies. Many Texans and fewer Americans are familiar with excerpts from Colonel Travis’ best known letter from Alamo which started with following introduction:

Commandancy of the Alamo
Bejar, Feby. 24, 1836
To the People of Texas & All Americans in the World
Fellow citizens & compatriots
I am besieged, by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna I have sustained a continual Bombardment & cannonade for 24 hours & have not lost a man The enemy has demanded a surrender at discretion, otherwise, the garrison are to be put to the sword, if the fort is taken I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, & our flag still waves proudly from the walls I shall never surrender or retreat. (Reader can reference rest of letter them self except for following ending)
P.S. The Lord is on our side. When the enemy appeared in sight we had not three bushels of corn. We have since found in deserted houses 80 or 90 bushels and got into the walls 20 or 30 head of Beeves. Travis

Most bad guys and many good guys ignore fact that Colonel Travis believed “The Lord is on our side”. A belief many contemporary pretender good guys are now too vain to appreciate. How many Texans and Americans are familiar with last letter to leave the Alamo?
To David Ayers
March 3, 1836
Take care of my little boy. If the country should be saved, I may make for him a splendid fortune; but if the country be lost and I should perish, he will have nothing but the proud recollection that he is the son of a man who died for his country.
Note: The letter to David Ayers is the last known letter written by Travis before the fall of the Alamo on the morning of March 6, 1836. William Barret Travis died at his post on the cannon platform at the northeast corner of the fortress.

Side note: How many Texas and Americans know story of Travis’ ring?
In 1835 Travis joined the Texan army as it prepared to battle Mexico for Texas Independence, promising Rebecca Cummins that as soon as his divorce was final they would marry. As a parting gesture of his affection, he gave her a brooch; and Cummins the cat’s eye ring from her finger and gave it to him. Travis threaded it on a piece of twine and wore it around his neck. He would never see Rebecca again.

Knowing his death was imminent, wrote Betty Smith Meischen in her book “From Jamestown to Texas: A History of Some Early Pioneers of Austin County” [iUniverse 2002], Travis placed the string with the ring around the neck of 15-month-old Angelina Dickinson, one of the non-combatants who survived the siege. Every defender was killed.

It would be nice to think that after such a traumatic beginning, Angelina the “babe of the Alamo” who inherited Travis’ precious ring went on to live a happy life. But this was not the case.

Few observations before moving on to General Sam serving his fate. Bad guys beliefs are motivated by vanity; selfishness; greed; stealing; hate; lust for power over others’ lives, health, properties, and achievements. Texans in service of their fate; might want to remember and celebrate upcoming anniversaries of both defenders at Alamo and at San Jacinto both during spring time 1836.

Texans and other Americans need to never forget that Colonel Travis and Colonel Bowie who served “side by side” behind crumbling walls of old church; formed a temporary coalition as they planned a duel to the death after Texas won its Independence. They placed Texas’ future above their personal differences.

Another example of war of words includes General Houston’s example at San Jacinto. Taking a brief step back, definition of motivate is provide person with desire to act.

General Sam Houston had two types of motivations at Battle of San Jacinto. First, cowardly command at Goliad; and second, heart and souls full of courage at Alamo.

When the time was right, General Sam had two messages, one for his troops and one for his enemies. Sam’s first message to his troops: I ordered my scouts to burn all bridges. No one comes in, no one retreats. I must have Santa Anna alive. Remember Goliad. Remember the Alamo.

Casualty reports from April 21st eighteen minute battle sent Houston’s enemies the second message: six hundred enemy killed, two hundred enemy wounded, and 732 enemy captured. Santa Anna was captured the next day after fleeing the battle like a coward.

Out-numbered two to one, Republic of Texas casualties were two killed and twenty-three wounded. The wounded included General Sam Houston. When asked about his part in the battle, one Texan answered, I would not have stopped killing those ######## if Jesus Christ himself had asked me too.

Other war of words examples includes Texas Constitution of 1836 which started not ended with Bill of Rights for Texans. Second example involves 1876 Texas Constitution following Yankee Republicans economic and physical genocide against people of South following Civil War in 1860’s.

This writing exercise will not identify Yankee Republican conservative carpetbaggers and scalawags which can be left for another writing exercise.

Moving on to: “Legend of Wild Olives”
Folklore as recorded by Texas Drifter, provides a tale about a young bride whose first and only true love, Antonio Fuentes age 23, Texas born, garrison member who died at the Alamo during Texas' War for Independence.

The bride became so depressed: she was diagnosed as dying of a broken heart.

After all efforts to cure the dying bride had failed, her family asked a young Texas born priest to intervene.

Following inspiration during prayer, the young priest gave the near comatose widow a single wild olive tree. The cleric suggested that she care for the seedling and allow the white flowers to remind her of the beauty she and her true love shared during their time together.

As time passed, the bride recovered and the tree continued to grow and bloom. Several decades later; time neared for the widow to rejoin her husband.

She asked the now “leaving middle age” priest to only make her one promise: to care for the tree she had so carefully tended too since the passing of her first and only true love.

After the still bride in spirit’s "going home", the priest became terribly depressed when none of his efforts to care for what became known as the widow's wild olive seemed to no avail as the tree without explanation started to die.

As the community was aware of the priest's promise to care for the tree, rumors started that the priest had lost his faith.

Then almost like divine intervention, the priest thought that maybe the tree was dying from a broken heart.

The priest leaving in the middle of the night and with the failing light of his candle found a small wild olive tree that also seemed nearly dead. He continued on to the widow's abandoned ranch and planted the second wild olive.

As if a miracle, an unseasonable rain nourished both trees.

You already know the rest of the legend. Both trees recovered and still survive to this day. Now you know why wild olive trees always do better when planted in pairs. Now perhaps Reader might understand that the Texas priest was also a Texan serving their fate.

Question, there are two kinds of Texans, those who serve their fate to honor Republic of Texas and those who do not. TRUE or FALSE

CLUE –Which kind of Texan are you Reader?

Question, men serving their fate, like Travis and Bowie, set aside their differences for the good of the Republic of Texas’ future. TRUE or FALSE

Bonus question, conservatives serving their fate; will set aside their differences for the good of Heaven’s favorite republic – America? TRUE or FALSE

Clue – There is a time for preaching, and a time for discussing; this is the time for discussing, so let America’s conservative patriots continue the time for praying, and save the time for fighting for later.

Bonus thought question - This writing exercise started with men serving their fate by fighting for their Judeo-Christian values like inalienable rights, behind the crumbling walls of an old church called “The Alamo”; one of those inalienable rights, included one priest serving his fate by trying to keep one promise to an old widow. How, by keeping alive one wild olive called “Anacahuita”.

Texas Drifter: Iran's Plans to Cripple America

Marshall’s Law Dateline – Following theories based on observations, are submitted for objective analysis by other American patriot security conservatives (PCS). What think you Reader?

Analysis process starts with Reader keeping in mind: that older cultures like those in Eastern Europe (Russia), Middle East (Iran), and Asia (China) plan strategies in terms of decades, and some even in centuries; while “just do it” Americans tend to think in terms of “before the weekend”.

Let this writing exercise begin with
1. Iran supports terrorist groups all across Mexico especially Monterrey to facilitate moving “closet cells” across America’s porous Southern border. Reference following (Start excerpt – Citizens Passions: Continue Plus 353 “Obama’s Three Sided American Fort” published 09-13-2011 which was re-edited from: Continue Plus 083 - “America’s Three Sided Fort” published 10-15-2008)
First thing one learns in covert uncivil world is no two bad guys are exactly identical predators. Taliban may not had ability to reach out and strike America; so they lured America into predictable guerilla war that should eventually be left to Afghanistan clans, tribes, religious theology based groups fighting among themselves for next thousand years.
Iran has ability to reach out and strike America’s homeland, maybe not with missiles but certainly with Hezbollah sleeper cells already on American soil. These groups can count on logistical support from staging areas in Latin America primarily Mexico, and specifically Monterrey, Mexico.

A porous southern border, missing side of America’s three sided fort, will allow logistical opportunities terrorist groups will most certainly exploit. How many terrorist cells are on American soil, only God and terrorists have that answer. How can anyone believe government policy makers who are still operating under premise that there are only twelve million illegal immigrants on American soil? Actual number of illegal immigrants on American soil is closer to forty million. (End excerpt)

2. Iran wants to keep America’s Southern border as porous as possible. At least until Iran gets its own supply of nukes “made in Iran”. Iran knows that ”cheapest” most “cost effective” crippling attack on America’s homeland will be launching “only small” nukes on small missiles into atmosphere to cause massive EMP damages on America’s technology addicted homeland. Reader will remember facts longer, by researching, on their own, facts about crippling threats to America from “EMP Attack”. How, Google concept “EMP attack”. Reader can learn more about EMP scenario by referencing - Marshall’s Law Texas Drifter Library Entry # 704 – Texas Drifter: Sacrifice Few to Teach Many - Friday, June 20, 2014

3. Iranians know Obama is weaker President than Carter was during late seventies early eighties Iranian Hostage Crisis; which was quickly resolved by President Regan before Reagan took office. Translation, Obama is a pacifist Commander-in-Chief or traitor; Reader’s choice.

4. Iranians will not be expediting “down time” during what’s left of Obama’s Administration to try and develop Iran’s nuclear weapons production process; while extending Iran’s sleeper cell tentacles across as much of world especially Latin American and U.S. Homeland as possible. Why, hoping to possibly “strike” early in America’s next Commander-in-Chief’s Administration before total damage to America’s national security by Obama policies become evident to majority of American citizens.

Translation preceding item four – America’s 2016 President needing to be able to stop America’s domestic and national security declines; before starting to rebuild republic seems more evident now than before. Reader can reference Marshall’s Law Texas Drifter Library Entry # 761 – “Texas Drifter: America's 2016 Fantasy President”. TRUE or FALSE

Question, anyone who believes that illegal immigrant gangs on American soil will not align themselves with Islamic Nazi Terrorists directed by either Iran or possibly the Saudis is way too blanked up to know they are blanked up. TRUE or FALSE

Clue – Will Saudis and Iranians possibly form an alliance to massacre Americans? What is old adage, enemy of my enemy is my friend, or something like that? Were, not some Saudi ruling officials involved in financing at minimum; plus providing logistical support for majority of 911 terrorists who were mostly Saudis? How about a new adage, Saudis will only remain Americans friends; until America quits buying Saudi oil? TRUE or FALSE clue?

Question - It is possible that “moderate Muslims” are and could, not necessarily will forever be; too intimidated by Muslim “street gangs” engaged in black market enterprises with Islamic Nazi terrorists; for “moderate Muslims “ to ever denounce or remain anything except slaves though Muslim street gang enforcers for Islamic Nazi Terrorists. TRUE or FALSE

Bonus thought question - What does America’s federal government become, when either through ignorant incompetence or willful intention; America’s federal government sides with American people’s enemies? Reader need only think about answer.

Clue 1: Was there part of some old oath that has been forgotten, by many American patriots about BOTH “enemies, foreign and domestic”?

Clue 2: Did that oath go something like: I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.

Texas Drifter: Morals of Stories Endangered Species?

Marshall’s Law Dateline – Reader can better understand title by understanding that purpose of “moral of story” is to provide practical lesson or lessons about “right and wrong” in human behavior.

Some precedents for morals of stories include
1. Marxist-fascist Progressive Democrats legitimizing illegal immigrants’ violent crimes and thieving against American citizens and legal residents so Progressive Democrats can get votes by using amnesty to lure illegal immigrants across porous borders.
2. Corporate fascist Republican establishment ruling class aristocrats using internationalist trade agreements for profits from America’s enemies which eventually threatens America’s national security by allowing America’s sworn enemies to build and modernize their militaries.
3. Both political parties Marxist-fascist and corporate fascist Republican establishment choose not to prosecute professional poor, known as professional welfare subsidy addicts, for stealing middle class tax payer public resources intended for America’s elderly and truly indigent.
4. America’s pop culture media promoting socially acceptable promiscuity by forcing Judeo- Christian conservative patriots to “advocate legitimizing” same sex marriages which violates many religious groups basic religious standards. America’s pop culture media also advocates by promoting movies, shows, and books like “Fifty Shades of Grey” which makes physically torturing, and sexually abusing women and children socially acceptable behavior.
5. Many of America’s Federal and State Judges serving as accessories to all of above; plus legitimizing Islamic terrorists seeking genocide against both Judeo-Christians and conservatives defending due process Constitutional processes defined in Bill of Rights. Example predominant trend in America’s legal system is only Judeo-Christian conservative patriots are accused of hate crimes; while many Muslims and minority haters are never accused of hate crimes.
6. Other examples Reader can list; since Texas Drifter is getting into a “time for questions” attitude.

First question, America’s society is being guided by pop culture beliefs based on values, principles, reflecting standards of Sodom and Gomorrah being measured by Obama’s transformation based utopian beliefs. TRUE or FALSE

Clue – Difference between free will choices include those which only hurt oneself, and choices that hurt others.

A recently published story with a moral, Reader might be interested in, is Marshall’s Law Texas Drifter Library Entry # 784 – “Texas Drifter: R. Revenge Riders”. TRUE not FALSE

Question, Reader who has experienced “Security 101” knows and understands about two primary security strategies: proactive and re-active. Proactive starts with SECURE PHYSICAL barrier or fence with boots on ground to fill in security gaps. Goal for strategy is to STOP bad guys FROM CROSSING perimeter! Note, new tech “toys” are never adequate replacement for secure barrier or fence and boots on ground to fill in security gaps.

Re-active involves using massive amounts of generally human resources to catch and detain bad guys AFTER THEY CROSS a porous border (perimeter) like America’s Southern porous border. Seems those generally supporting only re-active border security along America’s Southern border are: ignorant; selfish; “paid for”; dumb _____; clownish accessories to violent attacks and other violent crimes against America’s citizens and legal residents.

Examples of accessories to illegal immigrants’ murders, rapes, kidnappings, extortions, DUI deaths and crippling accidents, plus other crimes by illegal immigrants include but are not limited to: Republican establishment leaders in both America’s House of Representatives and Senate. Denying pragmatic realities does not change truth! TRUE not FALSE

Question before bonus question – Reader might review Marshall’s Law Texas Drifter Library Entry # 768 – “Profile 2015 Lethal Threats to America”. Why to understand that recent Islamic State Nazi Terrorists rabid souled massacre of twenty-one Egyptian Coptic Christians in Libya is direct result of Obama’s and H. Clinton’s failed Middle East Policies.

Seems world view of America could rightfully be evolving into perception that American citizens tolerating above Obama and Clinton policies, makes all Americans accessories to Islamic State Nazi Terrorists rabid souled murders of Middle East Christians and others. TRUE not FALSE

Clue – International realities are often based as individual perceptions. Brutal undeniable truth is Judeo-Christian conservative patriots are being tainted by Obama’s and H. Clinton’s incompetence, cowardice, and treasons to their oaths to uphold, protect and defend; Americans; and other American allies; plus humanity in general.

Doubt this observation, Reader might ask some relatives or friends of recently massacred in Libya, Egypt, Jordon; Syria; Iraq; Afghanistan; or other places contaminated by Islamic Nazi Terrorists rabid souls. Reader might get answer similar to following: life here was not that bad until America made war on us; then supplied the Islamic Nazi terrorists with policies like “Fast and Furious II”; then tolerated with America’s inaction, the rise of those sadistically murdering my family members and friends.

Reader might verify answer suggested in above clue. How, go stand in front of a mirror; stare eye to eye with the person Reader sees in mirror. Then answer following: how does it feel for the world to perceive that, you, are an accessory to brutal sadistic murders of their loved ones and friends? If your answer is honest, Reader may have a restless night of sleep. Clue question - TRUE or FALSE

Bonus question – Pragmatic truths can provide practical lessons about right and wrong behavior choices; which is why morals of stories should not become endangered species. TRUE not FALSE
