It's An Ongoing Investigation

 

There’s so much I can’t reveal, as it’s an ongoing investigation.  Death happens in the middle of Life. The death that could be avoided hasn’t been. It’s arrived, untimely at best. It’s not that it’s all that unusual. It’s the timing of it. The inconvenience of it for some. And no, it’s not God’s will. Yet for some this death is a tool.

A tool to prop up their ongoing ideology to increase our prisoner-ship, 32% thought they wanted it. 31% wanted more rights and liberty for all, and about 36% either didn’t care or were gerrymandered out of it or convinced that their vote didn’t matter. Many of the 32% were so enraged about the people who were different from them in having and going to have just as many rights as they have had, that’s one of the reasons that they’d voted for an indecent man and a fascist regime. Kind of like biting your nose to spite your face; however, helping to annihilate the rest of the vessel and its origin while you’re in it.

Others in the 32% not only believed the lies because it worked for them, yet many feared of losing their lack of color in color metaphorically as well as literally disturbed by their unsophisticated minds and their stiff-necked fictional beliefs of what it was to be any one gender, based on their unholy religions they’d stated they’d practiced; however, that too has been an unholy truth. They embraced the untruths of superiority in having no color, so much that many of those women went blond. And then there were those in the 32% who knew it was just a transactional vote to gain more financial stability of which they would gain even more wealth so as to pass it onto their great-grandchildren and then some. Which is sort of like having spread your sperm so far or your eggs as to encompass the earth with only ‘your’ type. Because it’s just never enough to hear your name when you’re alive, yet you want all to know who you were perhaps for a millennium.

So, back to the ongoing investigation of why a young woman and a man in the National Guard were shot, one as I type this has passed. It was the young woman from the West Virginia National Guard who’d passed. Apparently, she’d decided to stay in Washington D.C. on duty to fill in for another guardsman during Thanksgiving week. There’s a saying a friend of mine who was a detective for quite some time, decades for sure had. She, thirty years plus my senior had said, “No good deed goes unpunished.” I’ve really always despised that saying. Yet, I’ve witnessed truths in my life that demonstrate the truth of it.

As I read and heard the news of the female guardsman’s death, the other injured guardsman and the attacker. I also read from multiple sources that the attacker wasn’t given asylum in the U.S. till April 2025, that it was given by the Trump administration then. Too, the attacker had ties to helping our government in Afghanistan as well to our CIA. This wasn’t a short stint in the attacker’s relationship to the CIA either, it may have been at least as much as a decade. That’s quite some time to be covertly involved with the CIA. And as well, there were reasons why he hadn’t sought asylum earlier. I’d like to know what they were. Was it that the former administration(s) knew not to trust him? That was one of my first thoughts. Was he well vetted this year? I’ll answer that and say no he was not. With the lack of good judgement and haphazard, selfish approaches this current administration/regime has demonstrated I can fairly assess the lack of quality they present to represent the will of the people and their following the constitutional letter of the law. Their decisions quite often have not only been unqualified, too many of their decisions have been unconstitutional. Like sending the National Guard into Washington D.C., Los Angeles and other cities because you think that they aren’t devoting enough to our country’s progress. No. That’s not it. It’s because the current administration/regime is angry that they couldn’t win those cities in the elections. The current administration/regime and its leader are petulant children, appearing as toddlers still in diapers at age eight years old. It’s about greed.

Now here we are, a set of parents is without one of their children. A family member, a co-worker, a friend is no longer. I can say when the young woman joined the National Guard I don’t think she realized death was on the menu for her. Conversely, 45 years ago when I joined the US Marines, I did know that death was on the menu for me. Death remained close in thought every day as I’d served. Few ever think going into the National Guard holds the same risk of possible death as a US Marine, because usually it doesn’t. However, with this current administration going into any armed service in this country there are more catastrophic risks. Just to think that FBI director Kash Patel had no clue for some time that the attacker was immediately apprehended. Or perhaps he didn’t want to know. Because then he’d have to admit that the administration who’d put him in charge of the FBI, put someone in that was unqualified. I’d venture to say Mr. Patel was selected because he was known on television quite a bit, and he could get the ‘different looking people’ vote for trump and his cronies. All Kash had to do was sell his soul a little bit more; then he was in like Flynn. And that price just cost not only our democracy to deteriorate, yet also people to suffer and worse yet an unreasonable death to a twenty-year old who will never be able to live to what could have been her fullest potential. I’ll digress for a moment with my rage, for it’s an ongoing investigation. Semper Fi to only LAWFUL orders.---Jody-Lynn Reicher
