The Silent Tyrants

                                              Me by the Cheers Bar in Boston December 2023

 Dear Loyal Readers, 

     So, I have a thing for names and phrases.  That's why I chose the picture above with me in front of the very successful business named for the sitcom from the 1980's.  I loved that show and I really like the effectiveness of the name.  It really fits !  It's short and to the point and with one syllable you get the "jest" of the show and/or the actual bar in Boston.   

       As I mentioned in my blog before last "Mad King George Protests an Elected President" (here's the link if you feel so inclined  Mad King George Protests an Elected President   I struggle with names regarding the tyranny that lords over us here in the 21st century.  I came up with Mad King George for various reasons including as a historical reference to the founding of the United States.  I am a history "buff" and am especially interested in American history.   I still am concerned that Mad King George is a little too "light".  There's "Marxists" but is that too dramatic ?  Communists ?  Same thing - maybe too dramatic and not totally true but it's certainly close.  The difference is, of course the tyranny and control doesn't just come from government,  it also comes from corporations and other actors.  So, I look more closely at The Sylent Tyrants as it reveals what's really going on.  This tyranny is quiet and subtle.  It's not loud and alarming like Hitler and the Nazis.  It's not obvious with a monstrous personality demanding the "removal" of an entire race of people as Hitler demanded.  It's not puffing out its chest and strutting around Rome like Mussolini.  It's not starving entier countries like Stalin.  It's just slowly, quietly, dividing the American people and suggesting the founding of our country is not such an impressive thing.  It diminishes our history by throwing doubt into the public discussion and the education of our children.  The United States is the only country founded and built on the concept of free men doing as they wish to do and building a new country with a marvel of inventions and prosperity that the world has never seen.  There is no other country in the world like it.  It is a threat to tyrants because they need all men to feel small and incapable.   That is why I steer towards "Silent Tyrants".  

     So, from now on I will typically refer to the enemies of the people- of the United States and all free thinking individuals - no matter the country they live in- as the "Silent Tyrants".  I'm not saying I will stop with all the other adjectives if I feel compelled in a given sentence,  such as "Marxists" when referring to the Democrats., but what I am saying is from now on as a general reference to ALL those opposed to the common man- Government, Corporations, political parties, the media, entertainment,  academia, and any lobbyists working for any of these listed.   They are Silent Tyrants working against the people and against what our founding fathers established through great risk.  All of those men risked hanging for even suggesting what they aimed to do.   If there is a group of men to be marveled at such as the Avengers or any of the cartoon movies of today- it is these men who risked death and brought so much to the world through intelligence and passion and grit.  Our children should learn all of their names and be able to recite their words and deeds before leaving middle school.  Nothing less is acceptable in my humble opinion.  

"The Silent Tyrants" -  May the lash of my words fall upon their pitiful shoulders.

My Wife's 40 Year Anniversary in the USA

By Chuck Marshall 

The Love of My Life 

  ** My wife has officially been in the United States for 40 years as of last month- so this blog is dedicated to her and her brother and her mother and her late father for all they endured to be legal immigrants to the United States from the tyrannical government of Fidel Castro's Cuba.  

   Much has been said about immigration this past few years- it has become the biggest political hotpoint of all here in 2025 and it decided the 2024 election to a large extent. This brings an interesting introspect from my personal life because I am married to an immigrant.  My wife came here "legally" in May of 1985, at the age of 12, not speaking a word of English and with parents who were in their 50's.  They had no money and no jobs with only family to help them get a start here. There was no government help.  They were allowed to come here and live legally to start a new life. The rest was up to them.   They arrived with nothing. The communist government of Cuba does not allow anyone who leaves the country to take anything with them because everything is regarded as the property of the state. No clothes. No personal effects. Not even personal pictures. (My wife's brother had to smuggle out pictures when he followed them a couple of years later) You are treated as a traitor and an enemy of the state. Most people leaving Cuba back in the 1980's were found out by the neighbors and had eggs thrown at their house or apartment. My wife remembers being terrified that would happen to her family, but thankfully it never did.  

   So her journey began on a plane from Havana as a consequence of a Reagan - Castro agreement that was terminated by Fidel right after my wife's flight. She loves to tell the story of how the family was sick the day before their flight and her mother suggested they wait another few days, but her father protested and said he felt like they had to take that flight no matter what. His sense of urgency proved to be correct as they would soon find out, hearing on arrival to Miami that theirs was the last flight out of Cuba.  I like to hear her stories of arriving in the United States. "What was the first thing you noticed ?" I ask. "The lights, she answers- so many lights" and "all the American flags" (because the USA was such an enemy of Cuba the American flag was rarely seen and certainly not respected). Their first stop was with her uncle who took them to K-mart to buy basic clothes since they had nothing but the clothes on their backs.  Then they went to Denny's where she said she had never seen so much food at once in her life. She could barely eat half her hamburger (after years of surviving on eggs, milk, mangos and a monthly ration of meat). Her only shoes in Cuba that last year were flip-flops.  There are so many stories I've heard since I first dated her.  I remember our first date was to go to the movies at the Galleria Mall in Ft. Lauderdale.  I was fascinated by her story of Cuba and had a great deal of admiration for her family and all they had overcome in just a few years through work, grit and determination. Her smile through it all grabbed my heart, and here we are together still after 30 years of marriage.  

   I guess you could say my wife's experience under Communism has formed my opinions to a great extent. I was already leaning conservative when we met, but her stories of struggle and the horrors of living under Communism cemented a deep distrust and disgust with Socialism and all the evil that comes with it.  When you live with it, and when you see the pain in the eyes of the one you love, it's not possible to "see both sides" regarding Socialism or Communism.  Socialism is simply Communism "light" with similar tactics and claims.   Communism has proven to be the worst form of government that has ever existed. Since its inception it has destroyed millions of lives and brought down once great nations along with their traditions and beliefs because the Communists ruled these traditions and beliefs to be "decadent" and an enemy of the people. Communism sucks the soul out of a country and out of a person. It turns women into prostitutes to survive. It forces men into theft to prevent starvation. It leaves nothing but takers and no givers. It is a Godless, demonic, satanic way of life that diminishes all people to being victims. What's worse is they cloak themselves as being "benevolent" and "altruistic" and that they are "equalizing the people".  It equalizes the people alright- it makes them all equally poor and equally parasitic.  

  So, I offer up this congratulations to my beautiful wife, the love of my life at 40 years in the United States. (By the way, she has been an American citizen since 1996.)  Thank you Janet for being in my life and thank you for opening my mind to the evils that men are capable of- so much so that I recognize the barbarism behind the "good intentions" that the left claims they have.  As you have put it to me many times so eloquently-- with Communism you are the property of the state. You are not your own person. The socialists supposedly have good intentions to make us all equal, but their naive mindset and the power-hungry needs of their leaders are behind a barbaric path for countries that adopt it to rule.  It erodes us all to being "non-people".  Such a way of life must never be allowed to become established in the United States. Such a philosophy must never be allowed to flourish.  

     Part of me wants to go back in time and remove the pain for my wife. Take away the constant hunger. To stop the fear and lighten the darkness. To smooth out the trouble of a monstrous government that diminished its people to the level of cattle. But after all,  it brought her to me and it has added clarity to my worldview that is such an important part of who I am now. So we want to change the past but we cannot. Our lives are a book being written by God and the inability to go back and “fix” things is probably a good thing

Mad King George Protests an Elected President

 By Charles Eldridge Marshall

     

                                                 George III of Great Britain 1700's 

  

Dear loyal readers- Today I have a couple of different topics to explore with you.  

Regarding June 14th 

     Today is June 14th and the Democrats have organized a nationwide protest against President Trump whom they call a King.  This is ironic because as a criticism of the Democrats and all their stooges in the media, corporations, and academia I have often referred to THEM as "Mad King George" in reference to King George III of Great Britain who was King of England during the American Revolution. He was the figurehead we were fighting.   It is ironic that we have an invasion of undocumented immigrants  who demand their right to stay in our country and the man trying to stop them- President Trump- THEY call a King.  How is he a King ?  Their answer is that he's sending them back to their home countries (as if he's sending them to prison) and they have rights.   Using that logic, the Germans had the right to Poland when they rolled in with tanks back in 1939, starting WWII.  As illegal immigrants they have the right to be sent back home and nothing else.   President Trump ran his campaign on cleaning up illegal immigration and that's exactly what he's doing.  That's not a King,  that's an elected President doing what he said he would do in his campaign.  The people listened and voted for his way of thinking.   Whoever is behind this is "movement" is depending on the stupidity of most Democrats and their lack of knowledge or understanding of our country's history and how our government works.   It helps that they don't want the knowledge anyway.  They only want to "feel".  

        There has always been a tone of deception within the Democrat party as they profess to demand Democracy when we are a Democratic Republic- a government elected by the people but arranged to avoid the whims of a herd that can easily be deceived.  Their very name is a sort of lie.  As we have all seen- rule by Democrats can easily turn into "Mob Rule" which is what we're seeing today across America.  "We want it and we're angry so we are pitching a fit over the matter."   Much like "Black Lives Matter and other Marxist inspired movements.   Pillage, burn, loot, turn over cars and even cut down street trees to cause disruption and give the media something to feast on.  That's their version of Democracy.    

         

Regarding Mad King George 

      I have struggled with my reference to the group and/or mindset I'm calling "Mad King George" today.   I've had many different names for the enemies of our country here in the 21st century.   I've used Mad King George, Marxists, Communists, and Silent Tyrants.  One of my favorites is "the looters" which Ayn Rand used in her book "Atlas Shrugged".   You often hear the term "Deep State" which I've used a few times.  The problem with "Deep State" is it's seems too simple when the problem is more complex than that- the issues is wrapped around everything in society,  not just the state.  "Mad King George" reflects our history but it also has a slight comical tone to it that I don't intend.  The minds, the people behind the assault on our country are truly evil.  This evil is not reflected in referencing them to a monarch from 250 years ago.  Also, in defense of George the III- he did actually suffer a mental illness (there's a great movie about him  Called "The Madness of King George" - here's a link if the reader is interested Madness of King George )  George III was sincerely just trying to grapple with the beginnings of the fall of the British Empire.   

Suggested Names ? 

     Any suggestions or opinions on my listed names from my readers would be welcome.  Maybe I'll set up a poll.   A name that reflects the Anti-American nature of society today- in our entertainment, our medical field, our corporations, our arts, our buildings, our universities, our streets, our neighborhoods, our government, and most obviously, our immigration.  I don't like the term Ani-American because it's used too much.  The problem becomes ignored.  It loses its depth.  What we have today is far deeper than just the United States and even western civilization.   This is the work of evil minds and satanic thoughts that seek to diminish the significance of the common man.  It's contrary to what our founding fathers fought for and what our veterans died for over the last 250 years.  It seeks to focus power on the elites of the world- whoever they may be, whatever they call themselves and whatever I call them.  They believe that they have right solutions and they have the power to dictate to us.  They dictate to us how to think and what laws are "moral" or not "moral".   They dictate which laws should be enforced and which should be ignored.  They believe they are the minds behind the world revolving on its axis.  But they are not.  You, the individual, are the mind behind your world and all individuals actions and thoughts are as important as any others.  This is the philosophy that will bring about prosperity and joy for all humanity.  This is the empowering concept given to us from God and through Yeshua the Messiah, Jesus Christ.   Fulfillment of each person to be free to think, and to speak, and to express, and to create and to work as you should please.  That is the heaven God intended for us.

The Grand Deception of the Silent Tyrants - The Art of Mad King George

 By Charles Eldridge Marshall 

What is Art ?  What is Reality ? 

    Today the world of art has been on my mind.  I saw this post of a marble statue from the 1700's - it's by an Italian artist named Francesco Quierolo sculpted from marble in 1754- 1759  and it's titled "Release from Deception".  The netting you see was done by the sculptor and it is all in marble- carefully sculpted to look like netting.  It took him seven years to complete this work.  The reader should google search it and see it in much better pictures- it's truly a remarkable work of art.  It is an extraordinary example of what humans are capable of doing- especially when inspired by God as in this sculpture.  It represents man being released from sin by an angel.  The scene has a Bible and a globe in it and the point is that earthly flesh will deceive you but God will lead you to the truth.  God will release you from your deception if you seek him.  You may agree or not with the philosophy behind it, but this is a magnificent work of art.  It's truly remarkable for the detail and amazing talent that went into it.   My humble opinion is that the message is also important.   It has everything a great work of art should have and the artist should be celebrated for this accomplishment.  

    This work was created in 1907 by Pablo Picasso.  It's called Les Demoiselles d'Avignon. 

 

     It's considered a "masterpiece" of his and the title translates as "The Ladies of the Avenue",  in other words,  it's a picture of a group of prostitutes.  Whores.  It is worth many millions like most of Picasso's work.  I would imagine it took him a grand total of a day or two to complete it.  When mankind started admiring work like this is when we started to veer towards  a state of confusion between what is beauty and what is not. Between what is real and what is not.  "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" we're told.  The rulers of the art world back in the 20th century decided for all of us that this is beauty or at the very least, it's "brilliant"  and represents something but they never seem to know quite what.  I see it as representative of the beginning of the fall of mankind, of the human race.  When these two works are compared to each other in the same sentence or are in the same building, that is when the ruling class began their distortion of what is good or  "brilliant" and what is simply odd or esoteric.  It is only brilliant in their minds.  We need to all release ourselves from this deception.  There are many, many other deceptions the Silent Tyrants have been doling out for over a century.  We need to start calling things for what they are and stop playing games that the ruling class of our world feel compelled to offer us because it makes them feel superior that we don't "get it".  I get it alright.  I'm not saying it should be banned or removed or anything like that.  I'm just saying, don't tell me that's good when it obviously is not and don't tell people it's brilliant with an attitude that if I don't agree then I'm  not very bright.   My humble opinion is that this is work you would find in an insane asylum- if we still had them.  Isn't THAT brilliant of me ?  

Regards,

American Voice Speaks Out To The Orlando Sentinel

By Charles Eldridge Marshall 

The Orlando Sentinel 

Dear Loyal Readers- 

     As mentioned in my Blog before the last (or the one before that?)   I wrote a letter to our local "Bugle" here in Central Florida- The Orlando Sentinel- and they were kind enough to print it.   As is often the case, I wrote them an initial fiery letter that was probably a little "out of hand" (see blog "Stealing Democracy" from earlier this month).  They don't usually print rambling angry letters that lack focus- which may have been the problem.   Then I wrote another letter a couple of days later- this one still critical but more level-headed and calm- so they published it.  The Orlando Sentinel will only print letters from a reader one per month- so it's not worth trying for me again until July.  I often wonder if the Orlando Sentinel publishes my letters because most other letter writers are pretty bad, or is it because most of their readers are liberal so a more conservative opinion is like a rare plant to them, or is it because they actually like my writing ?   Anyway, here is my letter to them from one week ago.  I find myself defending Donald Trump more and more as the years go by - mainly because I think and feel his critics are unfair and frequently have an agenda that is much more in favor of the "Deep State- Mad King George- Marxists/Communists" than the American people.   They use his bad manners and blunt personality to bash his efforts and intentions with hysterical accusations that are quite frankly, ludicrous.   This letter came out of my opposition to all forms of hypocrisy.  When I smell a phony,  I have to scream it from the rooftops.  If there's one thing Donald Trump is not,  it's a phony.  The liberal media ?  That's another story.  

Anyway, here it is;
