An excerpt from my mini-book “Seagulls” on Amazon Kindle bookstore








Seagulls: An Analogy of the Homeless Invisible People & Social Justice by [ToersBijns, Carl R.]













An excerpt from my mini-book “Seagulls” on Amazon Kindle bookstore
Thus it is the purpose of this book to bring harmony among the members of society and our communities. Seagulls, crows, and many other species that are members of the human race require some sort of balance to function and cope effectively and at the current rate, these chances of finding a good balance are slim and few in between.
Today, society ignores the problems of the homeless and only works on problems that benefit their own existence or survival – not those of the poor or oppressed as they suffer daily from this ignorance of mankind. We need to take a new approach and think of the benefits of bringing in the poor and homeless and bring them into the mainstream of life as partners for survival and coexistence on this planet. 
It is unfortunate we bounce that word ‘harmony’ around like there is a lot of it around us. First of all, harmony is a good thing but often difficult to find as there are so many different customs, practices, religions, races and political affiliations to deal with to find common ground.
In a political world, the word is often overused and abused. It is even used inappropriately or incorrectly to manipulate the desired outcome by those who would benefit from such tactics. It's an easy word to throw out there and get the attention or approval of many others because it sounds like a friendly concept that benefits all but in fact, often designed to benefit only a few.
‘Harmony’ is a feel good word. It feels nice and warm to say it. Although the truth may contradict every aspect of the reality around us, the more you use this word, the better you feel. It’s like you believe you are on the right path in life and doing all the right things. But in reality, you are not  doing a damn thing for others as you are focusing on your own needs or those who you are associated with rather than the masses out there on the streets. Harmony is an action word – it is about achieving, doing and feeling. You can’t really achieve harmony unless you know what it means.
If this book teaches you one thing about the universe it should be harmony between people and the things around us – making it all work together to benefit us all, not just a few. If you master this one trait to co-exist In balance with each other, then the world can be a better place for many. No matter what you choose to do in life, if you find harmony and are happy about it, you have achieved more than most people do in the world. In this case, the pursuit of happiness is the wealth of knowing you can be happy.
So we focus on harmony in our lives and then realize that it takes a strong balance to achieve it. Literally speaking, in order to be a happy person, you must be a balanced person.
Finding balance in your environment in tough situations takes perseverance and courage. In order to find harmony, you must balance the coexistence with mutual agreements, peace without conflict or minimized conflict, be amicable and approachable, cooperate and find unity in causes and ideas or growth and positive rapport with others.
In other words, harmony is a balance to just get along with others – regardless of their economic status, wealth or poverty levels, race, color, religious habits or traditions etc. we live in an age where this has become very difficult. We can blame our politically correct climate for this feeling that we need to tolerate some things that are normally intolerable to take or accept.
No matter who you support politically, you can’t support one candidate without getting into a conflict or trouble with another. The world has been divided into these terms and done so on purpose. This is not harmony – this is conflict based on the divide and conquer design to separate people for various reasons.
In a political world, that translates into voters base groups and influences. It really is that simple to understand that when you break away from the principles of harmony and balance, you break the relationships between people, relatives, friends and neighbors to do so. How many times have we asked our family, relatives or neighbors – can’t we just try to get along?
Getting back to the seagulls and crow conflict, we have a choice – we can engage in harmony or drama. There are middle steps in this concept but the bottom line is that without harmony we create drama. This is with everything – not just politics.


A moment in time that last forever







A Moment in Time that last Forever

Walking in peace under the clouds of heaven, my mind was rudely interrupted by the sound of a spinning single pair of bladed evilness connected to an ugly bird above my head. Common to all who served in Nam, the twin-bladed whirling sound of the UH-1H helicopter can quickly bring the devil inside your head without trying.
Although the sound of the helicopter often meant the arrival of angels who come to rescue you, it is also the sound that brings back the evil and horror hidden deep inside the skull and that creeps into the conscious like lava runs to the sea, as it intrudes the peace of the mind with a single stroke of flashbacks and memories that cannot be ignored.
It is a sound that a soldier will not ever forget. It immediately clears the mind of present tense and brings the mind back to the past where it lives forever. The transformation is instant, the peace is gone and the war is on. A war between being sane and insane, chilled and hot-headed and crazy versus pure craziness. It was the worst of times and it binds you to the present or future, whether you like it or not. It controls you better than you can control it.
So as the faint sight of the ugly helo above you streams away like a drifting cloud that makes an earth shuddering noise to your ears, your head goes back in time and already alerted your senses as you can hear the gunfire, the mortar explosions, smell the smoke and fire and the spells of horror that filled your heart with more than the years since it happened for reals.
It is beyond logic or common sense what the eyes have seen as these images are engrained into the mind incessantly and played back repeatedly whenever the sounds of hell are detected or heard above me in the clouds of the open sky. Time and space – it was the worst and best of friends and foe but it was the one binding material in a tapestry of a war of many pieces.
Mostly mental since the war has gone, these dreadful remnants seem to live forever. This Huey was both a bird of a blessing and a companion of pain and sorrow. What was laden on this ugly bird were images of war never taken for granted. Its shape endured all kinds of rain, terrain or weather but its arrival was usually associated with pain, death, and sorrow.
So as the mind travels at the speed of light, you become the unavoidable magnet to the connection between the days of the past and the present. Without any intentions voluntary or involuntary, step into the haze of yesterday’s smoke and fire and stepped into the dirty bird or stepped off the vibrating skids of the ugly bird, devil or angel, to do what you are hired to do – be a soldier.
Your mind breaks into a sweat, your heart is pounding and your fingers seek to hold onto something solid as your knees get weak. Your rifle slung over your shoulder, and your helmet strapped as you jump off the bird onto the ground only to see it drift away into the sky and leaving you behind with others knowing they won’t be back for you for a very long time.
A time that is constant as the smell of the hydraulic fluid while you were sitting on the floor inside the bird moments ago, is replaced by the sulphuric smoke of gunfire and mortar shell around you.

The smoke screen is lifting; your hasty steps are hammering the soft muddy ground as you make for cover the best you can under conditions known only to those who stand or crawl there with you. The weight on your back is only compounded by the role you have – a medic - tied to a unit that is engaged in the horrors of war with an invisible enemy that moves around the jungles and nighttime like ghosts in the sky.
Trying hard to blot out the constant sound of the rotating blade as it eats the air that keep it up there in the sky, you struggle, momentarily falling to the past and all its horrors. You know that there is no scientific way to overcome this dilemma, there is no cure for the past and the momentary physics attached to your memories that will last into eternity.
So you try to divert the anxiety, the stress and the soldier’s decision of ‘fight or flight’ as well as the thoughts of never coming home again. The order is clear to ‘advance the enemy’ and any ideas of turning around were negated by the footsteps of the motion forward.
Reflection in your loneliness this peaceful day takes a toll day after day and when you finally arrive, it wasn’t at all like you pictured it would be. For some reason, your stay with your buddies in uniform as their comforts and companionship gave you more calmness and was emotionally helpful. So it is experienced to be a moment in time that last forever.

A Stalking Horse amongst us - an excerpt from my book Mass Muslim Immigration






An excerpt from the Book – Mass Muslim Immigration –
  There is another critical issue that we need to talk about or at the very least consider. We have already identified our immigration policies to be the perfect carrier or venue for the Trojan Horse concept to work immediately as thousands of Muslim refugees are allowed into the country without background checks or even questions being asked by the Immigration Customs Enforcement agents.
 Not one question is being asked whether the person asking for entry is or has radical views or has been connected or associated with extremists in their prior locations.
This is completely negligent of the specific creation and purpose of customs control as it blindly puts us in dangers without exceptions. It seems like the government wants to bring radicals over without any limitations and that it desires to bring them here in order to give them the opportunity to create internal chaos and violence.
One would think the government would rather be focused on the opposite of the matters at hand but it seems to embellish the existence of Islam and its practices inside our communities by helping them financially and economically. All this support and not one cent spent on helping the poor and homeless as well as spending adequate funding and resources for our veterans who die every day because of lack of care and treatment.
Still, there in another force in action that needs to be addressed other than the Trojan Horse perspective. That is the Stalking Horse concept. For those who don’t know what a Stalking Horse concept is, you will be surprised who and how this concept works. A Stalking Horse idea is not new - it's as old as the Trojan Horse notion used in the wars with Greece.
 Specifically, this perception someone or something that is used to hide a true purpose; especially: a candidate for a political office or position who has no real chance of winning but is being used by a political party to weaken the support for an opposing party, to find out if another candidate might be successful, etc.
The fallacy is that we are fooled into believing we have a candidate for the people and someone who will protect us from evil but in all reality, compromise our safety and put us at risk to unnecessary or potential imminent dangers.
Whether this Stalking Horse is Democrat Hillary Clinton or Republican Donald Trump remains to be seen as once the election is over, they will have to fulfill their mission to change America into a Muslim nation. It is with some certainty that one of these candidates has been bribed to take the role to embrace Islam’s desire to dominate the world.
But there is another perspective of the Stalking Horse. Rather than a person or individual, it can be an organization, an association or group that is branded for a specific purpose. One such group that seemingly came out of nowhere is ISIS.
Through their effective branding and propaganda and with the financial support of many Arab nations and the helpful creative powers of the United States, they are purportedly pledging allegiance to Muslim dominance throughout the world.
Although through false flags, we have been warned of their dangers and savagery from all major countries in the world, there appears to be a remaining group of people, wealthy people, who still support their movement and ideals. The danger of dominating Europe is getting closer to reality as their immigration policies have failed assimilation programs.
Slowly, these ISIS followers are actually taking roots among various international communities and prospering well. This is verified by their numerous videos spread throughout the internet to show their dominance and popularity among many European Union nations.
These videos are shockingly evil and produce an elicited contempt for humanity and the morality of the human race. It has degraded the value of a human being to the point of being wasteful and expendable for many reasons including non-compliance to the Quran or other Islam doctrines.
This Stalking Horse concept has been created to show ISIS as a legitimate form of government as they celebrate their existence of their own caliph in the Middle East as well as portions of Europe.
The majority of this propaganda that reaches the UK, France, Canada and the US is designed to bait us into our involvement in the Iraq-Syrian war as well as Afghanistan. So far, their propaganda has been working in their favor as the war continues and the savagery remains horrific and brutal.
On the other hand, we are seeing more outrage in European countries because of ISIS propaganda that illustrates beheading, flaunting sexual enslavement of captured women, and burning people alive.
They made their videos as savage and brutal as possible to instill fear into anyone watching them. On the other hand, they are also used to recruit extremists who share their actions and political agendas.
As a recruitment tool, they are very effective as these videos not only enrage the good people of the world but activate the bad people of the world into recruitment. These videos are strong messages of this organization to prolong the war, increase the toll amongst soldiers sent to fight these wars and as they claim their boldness with saying, ‘They are made as savage “Send your soldiers, the ones we humiliated in Iraq. We will humiliate them everywhere, God willing, and we will raise the flag of Allah in the White House.”
Every outrage is intended to draw Western militaries into the fight. A fight that is impossible to win as the odds of defeating Islam followers are nearly impossible and a truce is still too far in the distance.
Thus the whole issue of mass Muslim immigration is the Stalking Horse syndrome facing the free world today. In every essence of the words ‘Stalking Horse,’ the problem is Muslim aggressiveness and immigration.
We cannot deny those facts based on current events and activities. It is predominantly desired that we reject such concepts of Islamic dominance and that we need to be aware of these two concepts vividly and accurately.
We need to voice our objection to our leadership and give the government feedback of our protests on how this matter is being handled. Our government is playing with fire – and our lives and existence as we know it to exist. Wanting to change our lives, culture, religious preferences and tradition upset the very fiber our nation was built on. Our democracy is at risk and more dangers will come as the idea is proliferated into a policy.
This is not an open-ended situation. We need to close the door on these ideas with force coming hard and strong from all who resist such changes. This is not based on fears but rather, the uprooting of our own principles and moral values.
Hence we see negative campaigning and less positive leads as negative issues are easier to produce than positive ones. Drawing attention from the real   problems   helps the Stalking Horse concept as well as the Trojan Horse process.
We are slowly crystalizing fears into the background with untruths that are rarely challenged. People are going along with the process for their own selfish greed and power grabs thinking that once completed, they will become benefactors, when in fact, they will fall as well unless they belong to the inner circle of globalized power and wealth.
So far, during this election campaign, negative relations have created strong movements for those embracing the Islamic movement as the attention is all wrongly focused on non-issues. We are not fighting, resisting or addressing the Stalking Horse process.
We are not focusing on the imminent dangers of such policies and what we have been negotiating for the past seven years under our current president and former secretary of state who both have shown a deliberate indifference towards our way of life and favored the Muslim religion and ways of life via their support and vice versa, huge financial contribution for their support from Muslim nations.
We are being too lenient on Islamic radicalization and extremism in our country and Europe. In a public sense, our tolerance levels are far off the charts and harming us more than it is doing us good. This is not an open-ended situation – we need firm action to stop this movement.
We need to work on three things that prosper ISIS and those who support them. We need to reject their ideology and stop the tolerance trend to allow mass immigration and failed assimilation to continue.
We need a rebellion in this movement by our government to infiltrate and allow mass numbers to enter without background checks with those who have radical or extremists’ ties. In a public sense, this is much better for us and not so good for them [Islamic refuges] but we need to stabilize the process.
We need to disarm them and avoid mass reintegration without background checks. Allowing these refugees to participate in our political activities subverts our own principles of our constitution as non-citizens should not vote.
These are Department of Justice issues and at the moment, it is the very same agency that is looking the other way on these things. This should not be viewed as punishment but rather viewed as rational and logical steps for successful assimilation procedures. Allowing refugees to assimilate within these parameters is safer and more peaceful than any other processes being currently used or considered.
One could figure that there could be harsher means to accomplish compliance without nation’s laws and prevent the installment of Sharia law in our communities. It is a judgment matter, not a punishment. Asking them to assimilate is not asking them to pay heavy fines or jail sentences. It is a civilized means to merge ideologies and allow harmony to coexist with each other without violence.
The question at hand is whether or not this will be gained through voluntary participation or if the government must force such actions as a condition for citizenship. No matter what the choices are, it is far better to do this politically than through violence and the course we are on now proliferates violence.
In order for a democracy to work, we need to be democratic and face the fact that this is a valid process under a fair system that needs to be re-directed by the current administration. We are so far off-course; we are treading dangerous waters. The overall level of violence depends on the government’s role to denounce mass immigration tactics and focus on assimilation procedures that are controlled and justified.
Today, our immigration policies are broken. They are not being enforced in the manner of speaking when it comes to the ‘spirit of the law,’ and should be changed immediately.
We should show our resistance to current practices and force the government to reverse their methods and go back to the original purpose of our immigration laws. We must show a counter-strength to this movement.
The overall level of violence in the country is going to depend in part on whether the Muslims allowed here as refugees comply with our laws or go back to violence. When things like this breakdown, that often happens.
They go back to what they are used to doing in their own country. This results in violence as they make a show of strength. Then that forces the government to make a counter-show of strength, and then we’re back into subsequent rounds of what essentially stems elements from the past and creates a forum or foundation for a civil war fought on our own soil for the very first time after more than a decade of avoiding to do so ever again.
So far, today, we still have an opportunity to take or maintain control. There are scattered little bands of refugees around the country that were deliberately put there by our government to avoid resistance to these resettlement issues.
So far they are locally working effectively with local governments and religious establishments. They have no power in numbers and that supports assimilation attempts and procedures.
