The Dis-United States of America: 12 Barometers of Trouble

By Dr Ron Martinelli, Forensic Criminologist & Show Host June 29th, 2020

Like millions of other patriots, in one capacity or another I have fought for and served this Great Nation for nearly the entirety of my adult life. My family, friends and professional colleagues know me as a person of common sense, not easily ruffled and by no means a “conspiracy theorist” nor a “black helicopters guy.” I’m a professional, a loyal husband, and a father to four children who have grown to become productive adults in the law enforcement, first responder, forensic, and business communities. I bleed Red, White, and Blue; I believe in our Democratic Republic and what it stands for and I take a knee for no man but God and our Lord and Savior.

While it truly pains me to write this column, my forty-five years of extensive and diverse law enforcement education, training, and experience, along with what I have been witnessing and extensively writing about forces me to report to you this singular and critical observation – The “United States of America” as we have know it, is done. What we have now are the “Disunited States of America.”

Now before you and members of the “Cancel Culture” push back on me for making this observation, consider the following set of circumstances. What has happened and is happening to America did not occur overnight. Politicians and media pundits who emerge from their caves of isolation and ignorance will occasionally attempt to beguile us with their trite “Wake-Up calls” when referring to sudden “alarming events.” They paint our chaos, riots, lootings, burning of businesses and churches and the vandalism and tearing down of historic statues as “aberrations.” This is not only a mindset of pure ignorance, but in some cases an attempt to assuage us into thinking that there are only a few “disgruntled anarchists and criminals out there” who seek to chip away at the foundations of the American Democratic Model of Freedom. In reality, such is far from the truth and don’t you fall for it for one minute......

Disinformation and disillusion – begins within our educational system from elementary school through universities, where our children and young adults learn the “fake” revisionist history of America absent real facts, the totality of the evolving American circumstance, the intents of our Founding Fathers and the context as to how and why America evolved into a Democratic Republic. They are not taught how Africans sold other Africans into slavery; only that some regions of the evolving nation became slave states and that some of our Founding Fathers had slaves. They are never told that some Blacks in America also owned or traded in slaves, or that historically, nearly all nations of the world practiced the slavery trade. They have no idea what Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation is and make no connection between that pivotal document and the Juneteenth celebration. They are ignorant, or silently tolerant that the largest slave nation in the world remains to be Saudi Arabia with over 20 million indentured slaves of all races. This observation in no way seeks to excuse nor mitigate the horrors of slavery; it simply serves to bring appropriate context to light.

Our educational system is designed to continuously remind ignorant and impressionable young students, absent context, and facts that Americans are bad people. We are conquerors and oppressors, we were slavers, we are racists, we are selfish, we are uncaring...........To Read More....
