The Importance of Memorial Day

Leer en Español

Remembering and honoring all United States soldiers that died in war is, in general terms, what Memorial Day is all about. Originally called Decoration Day, it was not until after World War II that the reference to the current name gained national momentum. Most countries celebrate versions of honoring their war dead. In the case of the United States, given its foundational adhesion to the principle of liberty with its concurrent constitutional republican model and an innate abidance of living within a Christian transcendental order, the solemness and self-identification of this special occasion places Memorial Day among America’s most relevant celebrations.     

Union General John A. Logan, a former congressman, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic (a fraternal organization composed of Union Civil War veterans) and subsequent senator for Illinois, issued on May 5^th, 1868, General Order No. 11. This proclamation established on May 30^th of that year as a day of remembrance to honor those who gave up their lives for their country in the American Civil War. “The 30th day of May 1868”, read the Order, “is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village, and hamlet church-yard in the land.”

Cuban Liberty Act’s Title III Pays First Lawsuit Claim.

Sanctions and embargos against dictatorships do work and are necessary. This is so for practical, strategical, and moral reasons. Arguably, the biggest heist of United States property in history, $8 billion worth in current value consisting of approximately 6,000 American citizens and companies, was executed by Cuban communism.

For the Cuban nationals that were ripped off by the 1959 communist takeover, the numbers of victims were far greater. According to Cuban writer, Carlos Alberto Montaner, in a 2015 article analyzing the cost of Cuba’s socialist revolution put the total figure at roughly 2,055,214 establishments including homes, businesses, farms/ranches, and factories. Considering that Cuba’s population in 1959 was 6,000,500 inhabitants, the per capita theft was immense. Finally, thanks to the Trump Administration’s activating Title III of the Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity Act (“Liberty Act”, a/k/a Helms-Burton) for the first time since the law’s enactment in 1996, a claim was paid out to afflicted Cuban American litigants.

Title III, one of the four sections of the Liberty Act, allows Americans and Cuban Americans to seek in United States courts, indemnification for trafficked properties which were seized by the Cuban Marxists on or after January 1, 1959. In October 2020, the Claflin family (heirs and estates) sued LafargeHolcim, a Swiss multinational building materials manufacturing company. LafargeHolcim made the mistake of venturing into a business deal with Cuba’s dictatorship in 2000. The “Carlos Marx” cement plant, a renamed and rehashed confiscated family business that belonged to the Clafins.

Election Audits Are Necessary in a Republic.

Election audits are necessary in a republic to assure system integrity, political legitimacy validation, and social harmony promotion. A free society agrees to orderly abide by the rules of the game if the rules are not deemed to be rigged. Representative democracy, the only authentic and sustainable model of popular sovereignty, levies enormous expectations on an accurate reflection of the will of the people.

Skewed shortcuts for political ascension where fraud or other indirect methods of attempting to impact election results are present, a national priority must be set to counter this enemy of self-government. Election auditing should not be labeled as partisan or feared as a politicized monster.

The distinction between an audit and a recount must be clearly established. The former is a comprehensive, multifaceted, and organic approach to election purity maintenance. As with any mechanical inquiry, the auditors (state or independent) are in search for defects that could or did produce cozened election results. The latter is the specifically targeted project of reexamining ballots. The notion of vote recounts usually is conducted in a highly time-sensitive setting and the degree or thoroughness of the recounting is dependent upon state laws and/or election board norms.

Black Lives Matter’s Marxist Insurrection: One Year On.

May 25^th marks the first-year anniversary of the Black Lives Matter Marxist (BLM) Critical Race Theory (CRT) insurrection. During the 2020 Spring and Summer, what had previously been a furtive “march through the institutions,” the communist transmutation that reacted to the fall of Soviet communism, witnessed cultural Marxism’s open rebellion in America.

The unfortunate death of an unarmed man while in police custody, resisting arrest, prompted a wholesale war to undo the American Republic, and in its place, the intent to establish a socialist authoritarian regime that they would mostly refer to as something of a “people’s democracy”.

“The BLM flags flying in American embassies and consulates constitutes another step forward in the scheme to annul the Republic”. (EFE)
