“I SEE NOTHING!”
For those of you who are older, you may remember the TV show “Hogan’s Heroes.” It was a sitcom set in a World War II prisoner of war camp. Yes, a sitcom. While the Allied prisoners plotted and carried out many anti-Nazi activities, the main German soldier assigned to watch them — Sergeant Schultz — would occasionally stumble onto their activities.
He didn’t want to turn the prisoners in because they had become friends, but he didn’t want to get in trouble with his superiors, especially Colonel Klink.
So, he would mutter, “I see nothing! I hear nothing! I know nothing!”
Then he would quickly disappear.
Many people in our society today have taken that same approach.
We claim not to hear the obvious lies being tossed our way. We claim not to see what is happening before our eyes. We claim not to know what is actually going on around us.
Like Sergeant Schultz, we see nothing, we hear nothing, we know nothing, and we certainly don’t speak out. To do so might put us at risk.
Look at the border
According on one source, about 10 million people1 have illegally entered the United States since January 2021.
So, what’s the big deal? Everyone loves, or should love, immigrants, legal or illegal.
Well, consider the following:
Almost 80% of women and girls crossing from Central America through Mexico are raped or assaulted.2 Do you care if women and girls are raped?
Do you know about those numbers? Have you seen news reports about the extent of those vicious crimes?
Or do you choose to listen to sources that won’t tell you things like that?
Are you choosing to be a Sergeant Schultz?
“I see nothing.”
Then, of course, there’s the drug thing.
Fentanyl kills over 70,000 people a year in the United States. Some say it’s over 100,000 people each year. In fact, fentanyl overdose is the leading cause of death in America for 18-45 year olds.
Think about that.
The leading cause of death.
In Montana, the fentanyl problem3 is tearing apart families and communities. The drugs come almost exclusively through the southern border and Mexican cartels operate within the state. The governor has said a “tsunami of drugs” are flowing through the Big Sky Country.
“I consider fentanyl truly the number one threat to Montana.”
Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen
Do you care?
Perhaps all your friends are open border people.
Would they turn on you if you spoke out against open borders?
Maybe it’s easier for you just to be a Sergeant Schultz.
“I know nothing.”
Almost all of the fentanyl in the U.S. comes across the southern border.
In one operation, Texas law enforcement seized over 422 million lethal doses4 of fentanyl coming across their southern border with Mexico. That’s more than enough to kill every single person in America.
According to one report, San Francisco has become a “Zombie apocalypse”5 with three or more people dying of a drug overdose each day.
Let me ask you again, do you care?
Considering just the southern border, we could also talk about vicious gangs coming into major American cities, sex trafficking throughout the country, and known terrorists entering our nation.
Are you “seeing” that information on the news sources you follow?
Or are you choosing to follow news sources that won’t tell you those things?
After all, they are unpleasant stories, and you might get in trouble if you spoke out against the people allowing those things to happen.
The items I’ve mentioned just deal with the border.
What about crime in our cities? Do you see regular news reports about it?
What about our schools? Are you aware of how our government schools are teaching our children to be racists, haters, and self-mutilators? Oh, and they’re not doing a very good job of teaching things like English, Math, Science, and History.
But the teacher unions all want raises, and they don’t want parents to complain about what is happening in the classroom.
Do you know about our educational failures, or do you feel better if you hear nothing, see nothing, and know nothing?
Decide if you want to be Sergeant Schultz or a bright light for the Lord in this world.
As we are approaching Christmas, I thought you might consider helping in a work that reaches out to the families of men and women who are in prison.
Angel Tree Christmas is a ministry of Prison Fellowship and seeks to make a real difference in lives.
I encourage you to check them out.
Here are some links I’ve run across that I think you might find interesting.
Artificial Intelligence is coming. Check out “Spirits company unveils world’s first AI humanoid robot CEO” by Candace Hathaway on Blaze Media.
Of course, there are still some problems implementing AI in the workforce. “Robot grabs then brutally slaughters worker, allegedly mistaking him for a box of paprika.“
If you want to see how government control works, read this article. “British High Court orders death of baby girl after preventing her parents from taking her to Italy for treatment,” by Joseph Mackinnon.
You probably aren’t being updated in the mainstream press about the world’s headlong rush towards nuclear war, but you might want to think about it. “Pentagon’s $1 billion plan to buy 1,000 long-range stealth thermonuclear missiles.”
If that information makes you nervous, then this article from Time Magazine won’t encourage a restful night’s sleep. “The Collapse of Global Arms Control” by Mathias Hammer.
Before I go, I’d like to share a blessing with you from the Old Testament.
“May the Lord bless and protect you; may the Lord’s face radiate with joy because of you; may he be gracious to you, show you his favor, and give you his peace.”
Numbers 6:24-26 (The Living Bible)
Until next time … be the reason someone smiles today!
