As far as America is concerned, those political parities that put their selfish interest first during this national security crisis, ahead of the Republic, are primarily to blame for the intermezzo of chaos, corruption, inflation, debt, and crime wave. That our people are not used to thinking in terms of foreign policy can be seen best by state of the nation. Manipulation of the masses is the only way to control people’s inevitable irrationality. The truth is that we are all manipulators some of the time. We all use deceptive means to get the particular response we want from another person. Uncertain that we are acceptable as we truly are, we try to convince others by being who we think they want to see; we don the mask of the manipulator. For some of us, the mask is sinister. It is the mask of the person with the most authority, power, or influence in a group or organization, and we use it to play tough, judgmental, overbearing, or mean. For the rest of us, the mask is angelic. It is the mask of a person who has little status in society, and we use it to play helpless, protective, gullible, or adoring. As manipulators, we refuse to allow ourselves to be who we are. At the same time, we refuse to allow others to be who they are. Instead, we get stuck and stay stuck in unsatisfying relationships. We document errors as they are encountered, but the process of documentation soon becomes overwhelming. #RandolphHarris 1 of 27

Learning about yourself is interesting, but it is useless unless you can apply what you learn to your relationships with others. Likewise, improving your relations with others is almost impossible to do without first improving your sense of self. Thoughts, feelings, actions, and bodily sensations can be summarized as four basic conditions of human experience on two polarities. Love opposing anger, and strength opposing weakness. Or anger opposing love, and weakness opposing strength. Like everyone else, you are capable of both love and anger, and you are strong as well as weak. Love is not better than anger, and strength is not better than weakness. They are simply conditions of your existence, opposing forces in your make-up. However, the polarities of love and anger, weakness and strength, have a great deal to do with your manipulation, and they will play a major role in your overcoming them. When a slave rebels against his master, the situation presented is one of man pitted against another, under a cruel sky, far from the exalted realms of principles. The final result is merely the murder of a man. The servile rebellions, peasants rising, beggar outbreaks, rustic revolts, all advance the concept of a principle of equality, a life for a life, which despite every kind of mystification and audacity will always be found in the purest manifestations of the revolutionary spirit—the terror attack of America in 2001, for example. #RandolphHarris 2 of 27

Spartacus’ rebellion, which took place as the ancient World was coming to an end, a few decades before the Christian era, is an excellent illustration of this point. First, we note that this is a rebellion of gladiators—that is to say, of slaves consecrated to a single combat and condemned, for the delectation of their masters, to kill or be killed. Beginning with seventy men, this rebellion ended with an army of seventy thousand insurgents, which crushed the best Roman legions and advanced through Italy to march on the Eternal City itself. However, this rebellion introduced no new principle into Roman life. The proclamation issued by Spartacus goes no father than to offer “equal rights” to the slaves. The transition from fact to right, is, indeed, the only logical acquisition that one can find on this level of rebellion. The insurgent rejects slavery and affirms his equality with his master. He wants to be master in his turn. Spartacus’ rebellion is a continual illustration of this principle of positive claims. The slave army liberates the slaves and immediately hands over their former masters to them in bondage. According to one tradition, of doubtful veracity it is true, gladiatorial combats were even organized between several hundred Roman citizens, while the slaves sat in the grandstands delirious with joy and excitement. However, to kill men leads to nothing but killing more men. For one principle to triumph, another principle must be overthrown. #RandolphHarris 3 of 27

The city of light of which Spartacus dreamed could only have been built on the ruins of eternal Rome, of its institutions and of its gods. Spartacus’ army marches to lay siege to a Rome paralyzed with fear at the prospect of having to pay for its crimes. At the decisive moment, however, within sight of the sacred walls, the army halts and wavers, as if it were retreating before the principles, the institutions, the city of the gods. When these had been destroyed, what could be put in their place except the brutal desire for justice, the wounded and exacerbated love that until this moment had kept these wretches on their feet. In any case, the army retreated without having fought, and then made the curious move of deciding to return to the place where the slave rebellion originated to retrace the long road of its victories and to return to Sicily. It was as though these outcasts, forever alone and helpless before the great takes that awaited them and too daunted to assail the Heavens, returned to what was purest and most heartening in their history, to the land of their first awakening, where it was easy and right to die. Then began their defeat and martyrdom. Before the last battle, Spartacus crucified a Roman citizen to show his men the fate that was in store for them. During the battle, Spartacus himself tried with frenzied determination, the symbolism of which is obvious, to reach Crassus, who was commanding the Roman legions. #RandolphHarris 4 of 27

Spartacus wanted to perish, but in a single combat with the man who symbolized, at that moment, every Roman master; it was his dearest wish to die, but in absolute equality. He did not reach Crassus: principles wage war at a distance and the Roman general kept himself apart. Spartacus died, as he wished, but at the hands of mercenaries, slaves like himself, who killed their own freedom with his. In revenge for the one crucified citizen, Crassus crucified thousands of slaves. The six thousand crosses which, after such a just rebellion, staked out the road from Capua to Rome demonstrated to the servile crowd that there is no equality in the World of power and that the masters calculate, at a usurious rate the price of their own blood. The cross is also Christ’s punishment. One might imagine that He chose a slave’s punishment, a few years later, only so as to reduce the enormous distance that henceforth would separate humiliated humanity from the implacable face of the Master. He intercedes, He submits to the most extreme injustice so that rebellion shall not divined the World in two, so that suffering will also light the way to Heaven and preserve it from the curses of mankind. What is astonishing in the fact that the revolutionary spirit, when it wanted to affirm the separation of Heaven and Earth, should begin by disembodying the divinity by killing His representatives on Earth? In certain aspects, the period of rebellions comes to an end in 1793, and revolutionary times begin—on a scaffold.  #RandolphHarris 5 of 27

Because we believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honouring, and sustaining the law, we support military service. We believe that governments were instituted of God for the benefit of man; and that He holds men accountable for their action in relation to them, both in making laws and administering them, for the good and safety of society. America must not be manipulated into being the victim of its own defaults. Seldom did Heaven’s judgment follow the act of sinning as rapidly as in case of Democratic leaders and federal judges. The same parties, which have placed their own interest above the Republic, to complain to the voting masses about the potential losses of the individual States’ sovereign rights and financial assistance for not upholding federal law, are witnessing without exception how they have overbid their power in fulfillment whose final consequences naturally have led to profound altercations in internal America, due to their matchless hypocrisy. It is unbelievable hypocrisy for the representatives of these different states to complain because they are flustered by the disasters they have created, when it was clear all along that the consequences of their illegal actions would lead to far-reaching internal changes in America. They may retard, but they cannot stop the revolutions of history. #RandolphHarris 6 of 27

Neurogeographical location determines the stage of neuroevolution. If you could voyage around the brain, you would find that where you are determines what you are doing and thinking. If you are in the mid-brain, you expect everyone to be running around concerned with mid-brain functions—territoriality. We expect the Mid-East to be involved in mid-brain functions—and they are Arab-Zionist mammalian competition. When you trip South to the African cortex, you expect nonlogical, intuitive, magical thinking—and that is what you will find. When you climb up to the left-frontal lobe, you expect to find concern with the future—and that is what we find in America. The passengers on the Mayflower were not stern, straightlaced, middle-aged religious zealots. The stuffy ones were Puritans, and they remained in Britain, protesting what they considered to be the liberal ways of the Church of England. The pilgrims were mostly young Elizabethans in their twenties and thirties. They wore colourful clothes, not those black hats and gray gowns you see in the paintings. They enjoyed good times, including the imbibing of strong spirits and the telling of bawdy stories. Not only did they believe in a simple form of worship without trappings and fanfare; they also believed strongly in individual freedom and—here is an important part of their success story—they became devoted capitalist two years after their arrival at Plymouth Rock. #RandolphHarris 7 of 27

On the ninth day, they rounded the tip of Provincetown and the Mayflower, dropped anchor in Cape Cod Bay; the Pilgrims sat down together and drafted the first written covenant calling for civil self-government and individual freedom. Independence was born. It was the forerunner of the United States Constitution. It was the Mayflower Compact. Because the Pilgrims had not possessed enough money to rent and provision the Mayflower for its lengthy voyage, they financed their trip with the profit-seeking British businessmen. The Pilgrims agreed to work for the profit of a joint stock company. They were to invest their labour, and share in the profits. The London merchants were to invest their money and also shared in the profits. It was the night independence was born. Each Pilgrim received a share of stock. Everything that was produced was to go into a common fund. At the end of seven years, they were to sell whatever was left, beyond the necessities of living, and divide the proceeds according to the distribution of the shares of stock. The British investors had demanded a communal setup in the New World. It would make the distribution of profits and land much more convenient at the end of the seven years of the contract. And though war and acts of terrorism have raged on the Earth since the days of Cain, “the Lord will extend His hand a second time to recover the remnant of His people,” reports Isaiah 11.11. #RandolphHarris 8 of 27

The intellect which changes hour by hour has no existence in the absolute sense. And it surely does not represent the ultimate possibility of experience. Thus, one can stop its movement for a time through profound meditation and be then aware of a deeper level of mind whence all these intellectual changes spring up but which is itself relatively unchanging. How to know whether this deeper level is worthy to be called enduring reality is a questions that is beyond most mystics. Humanity is discovering that it cannot solve its old problems in the old way—the logical thing to do is to try a new way. In an age of materialistic intellect and materialistic religion such as ours, that nee ways must consist of turning towards a spiritualized intellect and a spiritualized religion. The first step for the intellect to take is humility; the first step for the religious feeling to take is obedience. The intellect must sink down in the self-abasement of constant prayer to the Higher Power; the religious feeling must obey sincerely and honestly the admonitions given it by the great prophets. The intellect must no longer go on deceiving itself and the religious feeling must no longer go on deceiving God. The intellect has to become baffled and exhausted by its own activity in search of the Overself, must despairingly know that it has no possible chance of ever knowing the truth by its own self-defeating procedures, must realize that it is running round and round in a circle, and must finally abandon the effort altogether. #RandolphHarris 9 of 27

At this very point, a great opportunity awaits the seeker, but it is also here that so many go off at a tangent and miss their chance. Either they label the quest futile and illusory, losing further interest, or they take shelter in a hierarchical religious organization which imposes strict principles and demands complete submission to its authoritarian rule. The intellect can never stop asking questions. It has millions always in reserve. However, in the end, there is only one important question. So why not ask it in the beginning and save this long circular detour? When logic fails, men often betake themselves to occult, mystic, and even primitive paths. If the end is to sublimate thinking altogether, why go on collecting more and more thoughts from teachers and traditions—all outside one’s self? How haughty the intellect may become. It does not understand that there is an invisible circle around it labelled “Pass Not!” However, those who believe that “love” solves everything, that “love” entitles one to everything, must then exaggerate the depth or the value of love—not by way of conscious pretense but by actually feeling more love than there is. The necessity to exaggerate often has repercussions which may contribute to building a vicious circle. This is particularly true for claims put on the grounds of helplessness and suffering. #RandolphHarris 10 of 27

Many people, for instance, feel too timid to make inquires by telephone. If the claim is made that somebody else make the inquiry for him, the person concerned feels his inhibitions greater than they actually are in order to validate them. If a woman feels too depressed or helpless to do her housekeeping, she will make herself feel more helpless or more depressed than she is—and then will in fact suffer more. One should not, however, come to the hasty conclusion that it is desirable for others of the environment not to accede to neurotic claims. Both the acceding and the refusing can make the condition worse—that is, in both cases the claims may become more emphatic. Only if the neurotic has begun or is beginning to assume responsibility for himself, refusing usually helps. “I was married when I was twenty-one, right out of college, to a boy I thought I was in love with—just the person I thought was good for me and whom I thought I could make very happy. But from the first moment that we experienced any privacy, I was unhappy. I think I married too young, but I also felt, as soon as I had lived with him for a while, that he just wasn’t for me. But I managed to pretend—we lived together for four years, very miserably, not enjoying any kind of sexual life. And then, quite accidentally, a few months ago I met a man—really a boy—and I started having an affair with him. #RandolphHarris 11 of 27

“At the beginning I used to enjoy sleeping with him, because I felt that I was pleasing somebody and I was with somebody who was also pleasing me. Besides, it was illicit and exciting and very transient. But recently I broke it off because it began to dissatisfy me. It turned out that the fact that it was extramarital had no meaning for me. I mean, for years I felt guilty about wanting to sleep with another man, even though I never did. When I finally did it, I didn’t the feel guilty I expected. I just felt that I had gotten married too young and I didn’t like being tied down. Right now, I think a lack of emotional motivation has made it impossible for me to enjoy sex with my husband. Until recently, my husband had been committed to me, but he is very, very distressed at the fact that I’m not satisfied with him. I mean, whatever I tried to hide came through in bed, and there’s just no hiding anything there, I guess.” There is nothing more harmful than the idea that poor relationships involving pleasures of the flesh can be “cured” by learning techniques from a book or the Internet. Nothing good is going to happen in bed between a husband and wife, unless good things have been happening between them before they got into bed. There is no way for a good technique of intimate passions to remedy a poor emotional relationship. For a man and a woman, to be delighted with each other in bed, both must want to be in that bed—with each other. #RandolphHarris 12 of 27

Many young women of this generation are females in transition. They believe, intellectually at least, in their right to pleasure in regards to pleasures of the flesh—but they do not know how to go about discovering it. This is because, they are not fully sure of who they are. Their early encounters with pleasures of the flesh illustrate this point. These woman are able to function physically, apparently without too much guilt, but they have never learned to function emotionally—that is, they have never felt free or secure enough to be able to try to find out why pleasures of the flesh consistently prove to be emotionally unrewarding. These woman are sufficiently emancipated to engage in pleasures of the flesh but they are still prisoners of the past in the sense that they believe that their satisfaction with pleasures of the flesh is something that would happen all by itself, and that it was up to the young man to supply it. From listening to these stories, one things that has become obvious to me is that much like men, these women were initially attracted to their husbands because of his physical appearance. Perhaps he became less appealing to her because he put on weight and that caused her to lose interest. Love is very complex. However, it is clear that men and women like certain body images. That would explain why she had an affair with a man she found visually appealing. #RandolphHarris 13 of 27

With her husband, she was, at first, physically aroused by his presence, which means simply that he stood for something that she found pleasing, but it may not have just been his physical appearance, it could have been a combination of his physical appearance and his social attributes. Her excitement, therefore, was almost completely a reflection of her romanticized notion of what she thought that he represented. However, the failure of her relationship is also partly her fault because she failed to communicate with him in such a way that they either improved the satisfactions of their total relationship, including pleasures of the flesh, or ended their marriage. Many young women today are living—or trying to live—in accordance with two conflicting and often contradictory sets of rules. One set refers to the traditional relationship of a man and a woman. A woman chooses as a husband the man who makes the best possible match that she can hope for; she judges this by his background, his education, his family, his ambitions, and it may even include her estimate of him as a potential father. Perhaps where contemporary relationships have gone wrong is they see pleasures of the flesh as something they should do for fun, not just procreation, and this becomes the bedrock on which many marriages must stand or fall. Companionship is totally lost. Many young women today believe this intellectually but have yet to translate it into emotional terms. #RandolphHarris 14 of 27

No matter how confident people are in their relationships, at first, the ground under them will still be quaking because they have not achieved the kind of physical relationship that holds the promise of rewarding them both. This also has to do with feelings. When people remove themselves from the illusions, then they live with the actuality alone, and when the actuality changes, they change with it, responding to things as they are. What actually happens is there is nothing to hold them together. It is a lot like two men dating and because they cannot have kids, they lose their common bond. When relationships are based on lust and pleasures of the flesh, without a children birth, there is less to solidify the relationship, unless it has been long-term and the couple has acquired a lot of assets. This makes an entirely different social situation, and it could be said that you cannot change a whole society. We say that of ourselves, but at the same time we impose our concepts on others and make their societies change. If we removed these concepts from ourselves, what would happen? Is it kindness and “sympathy” to be distressed about others? Or is it as unkind, in its effect on others, as to be cold? It seems to me necessary that we get beyond both and arrive at caring without disturbance. Some people are made to feel unperceptive, unsympathetic, like a barbarian, lacking in decent human feeling when they should be distressed. So, when you make yourself distressed—you will come to see it their way, not your own. #RandolphHarris 15 of 27

However, others will tell you that you should not be distressed—“Do not be emotional!”—and sometimes these contradictory command come to a person from the same individual, at different times. You are expected to be whatever the other person was, in relation to any particular set of circumstances, and at the time, you may not realize this, and it can be very confusing to you that when you do what you are being told to do, you get rebuked for it and told that you “should be” that other way. Best not to worry about direction at all. Just be. Direction is already there. When you are being your authentic self, your caring will be present, and your not-caring will be present too, It is neither and both—just as a blue light washes out both a yellow light and itself and makes a white light, and yellow and blue paint mixed together become a green which contains both but is neither. However, you cannot mix your caring and not-caring. You have to throw out both, and what remains is what you want, the reality of you. No illusions. When you feel smashed or trapped or bound or pushed, it is helpful to ask yourself, “What illusion is fouling me up now?” The illusion is what you think about something. The facts just are. Winning or losing, the script is a way to structure the time between the first Hello and the last Good-by at the grave. #RandolphHarris 16 of 27

This life time is emptied and filled by not doing and doing; by never doing, always doing, not doing before, not doing after, doing over and over and over, and doing until there is nothing left to do. This gives rise to “Never” and “Always,” “Until” and “After,” “Over and Over,” and “Open-Ended scripts. These are best understood by reference to Greek myths, since the Greeks had a strong feeling for such things. “Never” scripts are represented by Tantalus, who through all eternity was to suffer from hunger and thirst in sight of food and water, but never to eat or drink again. People with such scripts are forbidden by their parents to do the things they most want to, and so spend their lives being tantalized and surrounded by temptations. They go along with the Parental curse because the Child in them is afraid of the things they want the most, so they are really tantalizing themselves. Some intellectuals have too many questions, give up in the end and turn agnostic or join the Catholic Church or, like Hume, spend the rest of their years shallowly. Unless intellectual thinking understands its own limitations and therefore knows when to stop its own activity, it will not lead man to truth but mislead him. However, if and when it is willing to deny itself at the correct time, it will allow intuitive thinking to be born and that will lead him still nearer to the goal. The same man at different times of his life may hold different views. It is unrealistic to demand that everyone should be consistent throughout the course of a lifetime. #RandolphHarris 17 of 27

Projecting confidence on the job and other situations requires moral courage. While physical courage allows that Sacramento Fire Department to defend their ground, even when the fire is blazing out of control and time is running critically short, moral courage empowers these leaders to stand firm on their values, principles, and convictions in the same situation. As a leader with moral courage, members of the Sacramento Fire Department take full responsibility for their decisions and actions. They are willing to critically look inside themselves, consider new ideas, and change what caused failure. Moral courage is fundamental to living the Sacramento Fire Department’s Values of integrity and honour. It does not take long for a team member to become suspicious of a leader who acts confident but does not have the competence to back it up. Having the appropriate levels of domain knowledge is vital for a firefighter, in turn, to display confidence through their attitudes, actions, and words. Leading by example demands that the Sacramento Fire Department stays aware of how their guidance and plans are executed. They cannot remain in safe, dry headquarters, designing complex plans without examining what their team members and civilians are experiencing. They have to courage to get out where the action is, whether it is in a burning building or a forest fire. #RandolphHarris 18 of 27

The Sacramento Fire Department, connects with the community by sharing hardships and communicating openly to clearly see and feel what does on from the public’s perspective. True warrior leaders lead from the front and share the experience of their community. Seeing and feeling the plan transform into action empowers the Sacramento Fire Department to better assess the situation and influence the execution by their immediate presence. If they stay a safe distance from the front, they risk destroying their communities trust and confidence. Competent leadership and communication are what allows the Sacramento Fire Department to get results. Although communication is usually viewed as a process of providing information, communication as a competency involves more than the simple transmission of information. The Sacramento Fire Department understands that communication needs to achieve a new understanding. They create new or better awareness because communication is critical information and being presented in a clear fashion is important to reaching a shared understanding of issues and solutions. It is by conveying thoughts, presenting recommendations, bridging cultural sensitivities, and reaching consensus that they are able to achieve success. The Sacramento Fire Department knows that they cannot lead, supervise, build teams, counsel, coach, or mentor without the ability to communicate clearly. #RandolphHarris 19 of 27

“When I married my wife, I was a cement finisher. On my time off, I’d always go to the firehouse. At the time her father was a fire lieutenant in that area. But I met my wife through her brothers. I went to high school with them. Also, her father knew my father. We got married shortly before I was called for the city ambulance job, and then, nine months later, I was called to be a fireman. She had a complete understanding of the fire department. She knew how to accept me coming home tired, or me going out and watching baseball with the guys after being up all night. She knew how to handle it pretty well, until I got injured. We have two children. Our daughter is ten, and our son is eight. Our son goes to Catholic school a block away from our house. His teacher told the kids, ‘Bring a picture of someone helping someone.’ I happened to have a picture of myself when I carried a woman out of a building, and, since there was no ambulance there, I was giving her oxygen. My son took the picture and gave it to his teacher, saying proudly, ‘That’s my dad.” So he’s proud of what I do, and I want to keep it that way. Would I want him to be a fireman? Sure. But I’m not going to press it into his head. I had a pair of fire boots that were given to me when I was seven years old. I saved them for him, and he’s got them now. He’s got his own fire helmet and his own fire coat. But I’m not going to force it on him. My daughter is an easygoing, loving person, like my wife. Happy-got-lucky. She likes school. #RandolphHarris 20 of 27

“I’m a God-fearing person. There are certain standards I live by. My wife and I don’t go to church every Sunday, but we make our kids go. We try to set an example for them. We’re sending them to parochial school, so they can learn religion, discipline, and certain things about life they wouldn’t learn at a public school. That’s why I work two jobs—to send them to a Catholic school. I don’t care if I have to pay, and I’m going to feel the same way about college. My second job was as a cement finisher, until I got burned. After that, being in the sun a lot wasn’t too good for my skin. There was a chief in the department who was retiring. He was fire marshal and safety instructor at a hospital. I’m state-certified as an instructor, so I asked him if he ever needed help to let me know. Two months later he called me and said the job was open. It’s a part-time job, and only five minutes from home. I give monthly classes on fire safety to all the employees. I enjoy giving these classes, and I really get into it. They had taken pictures of me the night I went into the burn center. I got the slides, telling the head nurse at the hospital that the only thing I wanted them for was to teach people what can happen when you get burned. You can feel more confident trying to teach someone something, when you’ve been there.” Our safety lies in repentance. Our strength comes of obedience to the commandments of God. #RandolphHarris 21 of 27

 One thing we witness all the time during emergency situations is people ignoring the sirens of fire trucks and ambulances. Often times, people even try to outrun the emergency vehicles and this can create dangerous situations. Citizens, remember to give the right-of-way to any law enforcement vehicle, fire engine, ambulance, or other emergency vehicle using a siren and red lights. Failure to pull over may result in a ticket. Drive to the right edge of the road and stop until the emergency vehicles(s) have passed. When approaching a stationary emergency vehicle with flashing emergency signal lights (hazard lights), move over and slow down. If you are in an intersection when you see an emergency vehicle, continue through the intersection. Drive to the right as soon as it is safe and stop. Obey any direction, order, or signal given by a law enforcement officer, or a firefighter. Even if they conflict with existing signs, signals, or laws, follow their orders. When their siren or flashing lights are on, it is against the law to follow within 300 feet of any fire engine, law enforcement vehicle, ambulance, or other emergency vehicle. If you drive to the scene of a fire, collision, or other disaster, you can be arrested. When you do this, you are getting in the way of firefighters, ambulance crews, or other rescue and emergency personnel. Moral courage is the willingness to stand firm on values, principles, and convictions. It enables you to stand up for what you believe is right, regardless of the consequences. #RandolphHarris 22 of 27

The concept of professional courage does not always mean being as tough as nails, either. It also suggests a willingness to listen to other peoples’ problems, to go to bat for them in a tough situation and it means knowing just how far they can go. It also means being willing to tell the boss when he or she is wrong. As a reminder, parents, pleasure teach your children love America and be patriotic citizens and to buy goods and services made in America. It is also important to respect law and order and treat your elders with respect. Having the Southern American boarder open and not having American farmland protected, not producing beef, poultry, fish, fruit, produce and dairy in America, and without American goods and services being our number one manufactured and selling items, America has created a dangerous and significantly elevated risks to national security, national economic security, and national public health. Some people may believe that these claims are overstated, but by not routinely monitoring Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CEVs) or other security relevant alerts, such as end-of-life of machinery is how the Oroville Dam Crisis occurred in 2017. Other crises that have occurred due to neglect of critical infrastructure is the 2025 Palisades fires because Southern California ran out of water, when they are located next to an ocean and they could have simply created desalinating plants to help with the water shortage. The water is so plentiful that it is currently eroding land and causing homes to fall into the sea. #RandolphHarris 23 of 27

The American government should know all exploitable vulnerabilities and fix them prior to the situation becoming a crisis. Failure to take such mitigating actions is dangerous and significantly elevates risk to national security, national economic security, and national public health and safety. The American government must understand that significant time and resources must be invested in America. They must also encourage corporations to plan for both mitigating safety vulnerabilities in the short term and eliminating them in the long term. For instance, a company might begin by reaching out to the federal, state or local government and requesting tax incentives to provide security to dangerous communities, to help the government repair bridges and potholes. America needs an approach to eliminate safety vulnerabilities in American cities. There needs to be a road map by the end of 2025, outlining a prioritized approach to eliminate crisis situations in America. There is enough money to send aid to foreign nations, but the American government does not have enough money to care their infrastructure, provide adequate resources, nor end the affordable housing crisis. Nor is there enough money to fund other national critical functions (NCFs). These bad practices of putting America and Americans last is considered exceptionally risky, particularly to national security, national economic security, and national public health and safety. In 2024, Americans spent $100 billion on Japanese cars. #RandolphHarris 24 of 27

In an effort to help America pull through the massive national deficit, please buy American made cars. American made cars used to be the envy of the World and because American car brands are offering a wide range of options, from family SUVs to electric vehicles and luxury sedans, we are now seeing a resurging interest. American made cars are equal or superior to those made overseas. The Chevrolet Trax, for instance, is a well-designed, fuel efficient, and safe SUV. And as you know, there is no better car on Earth than 1950-1970s American Muscle Car. As an incentive to buy American made cars, President Trump plans to made interest on loans for American cars tax deductible. Americans surely make superior products, but we are buying things from other nations. American food imports have risen by 300 percent since 1999. American farmland declined by nearly 20 million acres between 2017 and 2022. As of 2022, there were 880.1 million acres of land dedicated to farming, compared to 900.1 million in 2017. The data shows there are now little more than 1.9 million farms in the country.  Americans and American corporations spent $136 billion on food and beverages from other countries. It is a national security risk to lose American Farms and farmers. If there is a war, and most of our meat, produce, poultry, dairy, and fruit is coming from foreign counties, we stand the risk of starving. With war breaking out all over the World, in these uncertain times, it is very important to bring American farms back. Las Vegas is running out of buildable land and is expected to reach its maximum number of homes in 2032. So, home prices are expected to rise dramatically. #RandolphHarris 25 of 27

Additionally, State Farm did ask the California Department of Insurance if they could raise homeowner insurance rates by 22 percent, but this request was denied. However, in 2022, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 1107, also known as the Protection California Drivers Act, into law which increases the minimum auto lability limits for bodily injury to $30,000 per person and $60,000 per accident. Senate Bill 1107 also increased the minimum liability limits for property damage to $15,000 per accident and the DMV deposit for uninsured drivers to $75,000. The bill went into effect on January 1, 2025. This means that drivers with existing policies with lower limits will renew at the new minimum limits on or after January 1, 2025, and insurance premiums could increase by as much as 54 percent. America is in a state of crisis right now because of mismanagement by democrats. If elected for an unprecedented third term, to make housing more affordable and to offset the cost of homeowner’s insurance and auto insurance, President Trump plans to abolish property taxes. Much like the land crisis in Las Vegas, we could also run out of land to farm and will not be able to grow or cultivate our own food. We can protect American farmland and support American farmers by buying American made beef, poultry, dairy, and produce. Also, country of origin labeling is very important so Americans can know where their food is coming from and have the ability to support American farmers and ranchers. As money flows, it influences further investment. Save the land that sustains us by protecting American farmland. Once the land is built on, we lose it forever.  And in the future, there may be food wars. Also, to ensure that we have farmland and buildable land for future use, we need to start limiting the number of people allowed to immigrant to America. Perhaps with the immigrants we do allow into America, there needs to be a diversity program to make sure we have a population that equally represents all races of people. If Americans continue to spend money on American products, then more need to be made to keep up the inventory. When investors notice these goods are selling, it gives them the confidence to pour more money into that local business. It shows that people want these goods made in America and pressures investors to keep these goods and services in America. The jobs stay here, the business stays in American, wages naturally increase, and more money is invested to keep up with demand. This reduces the burden on the taxpayer. #RandolphHarris 26 of 27

When you support American businesses, that money stays in our economy and can help to reduce the national debt. The government creates debt by borrowing from businesses in the private sector or from foreign countries. It also increases the national debt by spending more than it gains in tax revenue in a fiscal year. When people shop locally, more tax money stays in the economy and goes to the government. This way, it keeps more money in our national economy and keeps more jobs located in American which also sends more taxes to the government, which can again help to reduce the national debt. When you buy foreign goods, these companies usually have lighter tax loads or exemptions, meaning less money for the nation debt, plus you are helping to strengthen these foreign nations by send more money overseas. Buying American made products is also better for the environment and helps to reduce the carbon footprint because these products do not have to travel nearly as far. Furthermore, American companies and manufacturers are held to much higher standards in regard to pollution. American companies have to be more careful about air, land, and water pollution and have proper ways to dispose of waste. Moreover, please remember to respect law and order and treat your elders with the utmost dignity and kindness possible. And take your education seriously so that you will be successful in life and make your family proud. It is inborn in the human minds to wish to know. If this begins with the endless surface questions of a child’s curiosity, if it continues into deeper questions of a scientist’s probing investigation, it cannot and does not stop there. For the higher part of the mind will eventually come into unfoldment, that union of abstract reflective thought with mystical intuition, which is true intelligence, which needs and sees a view of the whole of things. And so, the knowing faculty enters the realm of philosophy. As a reminder, parents, pleasure teach your children love America and be patriotic citizens and to buy goods and services made in America. It is also important to respect law and order and treat your elders with respect. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic, for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. #RandolphHarris 27 of 27
