Introduction Chapter 1
Reason (Article Title)
I feel I need to introduce myself and to explain the reason for my writing this book. My name is William Edwards Terrel, better known as Bill, born in Texas, June 11, 1929 that makes me just one month shy of 84 years, the first 11 years which I consider the formidable years were in Texas, moved to New Mexico in 1940 they say once a Texan always a Texan not quite true in my case I guess you could say I am a Texacan. I have lived in New Mexico ever since. I have worked hard all of those years. Have been up and down financially three times, bankrupt the last time in the late 90’s, too damn tired, to get up and try again, and to quote one of our more notable persons of the time, “at this point in time what difference does it make?” I have to agree you’re not going to take it with you. I sound a little bitter, I hope not it’s been a hard life, but a good life. God if I could I would love to live it all over again. Certainly I would like to make a few changes, but if I couldn’t I would love to repeat each and every day the good most definitely outweighs the bad, and in some ways my memories of those 84 years good and bad, the choices I made, some good and not so good, but they were my choices. I was allowed to live as a free man. This country that I so dearly love, its Constitution that grants me the right to live free, free as the breezes that blow through the trees, free as a bird soaring through the sky. No it is not perfect, hell nothing is, but it is unquestionable the greatest nation on earth. 84 years is not such a long time, yet it’s almost a third of the time this nation has been in existence, of just a little over 200 years. My memory of the past 84 years or the last third of this nation’s existence, it too has seen some good and some bad times. For the most part after the bad times it has emerged stronger. History as well as my memory pretty well makes that a fact and until in recent years this has been the case, no longer true. I am very concerned about the future of our nation, those over whelming concerns are the compelling force that cause me to write, the desire to be heard “for no personal gain” and I certainly am not going to blow up any buildings, Pentagon, police stations or capital building you know all the places Bill Ayres tried and he and his underground organization didn’t have the brains to make a bomb that would do much damage, however maybe one of his pupils, Timothy McVeigh, blew up the Murrah Building in Oklahoma. This imbecile for his dastardly deed was executed. Bill Ayres rather than being punished was made professor at Columbia University as well as other universities. I only mention these incidents to make it plain I don’t want to do anything this stupid in order to draw attention or to be heard. However, I realize the lack of education and no experience in writing make it if not impossible at least very unlikely that I will be able to write this in an intelligent manner in which possible to have published and that many people will read and give serious thought to all that I have written. I realize that I ramble, that I am a radical (it may appear) and that in an attempt to write and the manner in which I have written over a period of months or even in some cases years have caused me to repeat myself perhaps too much, but both because of the way I have written it has just turned out that way. In the very beginning I wrote many times to different organizations to different congressman, different senators, tried emails, phone calls, anything I could think of in an attempt to be heard all of my efforts seem pointless. Then I thought possibly if I write a book, what I know can and will be known by all Americans who are honestly interested in the true facts of the problems we are faced with today.
I wish to make it perfectly clear that I am a Conservative Republican, but none of my writings, none of my claims, none of my statements are for but one reason to find and show the truth. To show everyone the facts that are so clear, facts that are so obvious and yet for some reasons beyond my understanding, so many people seem to ignore, many because they believe they cannot do anything about it. Many because they’re not even aware of what has been and is going on because of the neglect of the mainstream media (whether it’s just neglect or possibly involvement in this so called cover up) or like Hillary says “at this time what difference does it make”. It makes all the difference in the world if we cannot, do not find and expose all of the truths pertaining to Benghazi without doubt what I write will be criticized, called trash, say it is politically motivated, political circus, part of the republicans political gain, those are the phrases used by Mr. Obama on his news conference today May 13. I always wanted to be a circus performer and thanks to mainly in his administration, but to any and all connected to the Benghazi situation; this definitely could be considered a three ring circus. But after you have read my little book and give serious thought to what I have said and the matters that I consider factual, very possibly you will be ashamed and embarrassed to realize that we, we being a large part of this nation’s population. I have written about other matters of great importance to our nation. Such as immigration, guns, gun violence, our financial conditions, some mention as to our unemployment, expressing my memories and views of a few everyday problems. I invariable come back to the issue of Benghazi, reason being this is the worst atrocity ever committed to the American people and for 8 months now it has not gone away. If I have my way it never will until the people involved in this atrocity are brought to justice, most definitely we want the attackers treated as such, by that I simple mean murdered, they do not even deserve a trial. Their acts were acts of war. By the use of the word atrocity I mean the people who lied to us. The people that altered statements that knowingly lied to us for whatever reason, I don’t know and without a through and complete investigation we will never know and yes you had better believe there is more involved than just a little cover up to aid a political election. I want the Latino population to know that I have ask the publisher to agree to publish my little book in Spanish, if there is any interest from this community. I do this because many of you who deserve to become citizens of this United States need to be fully informed and the lies that have been told affect all of us, citizen and noncitizen alike. I should let you know that even though I feel this way about the publication of this book as stated I want you to be able to understand full implications, at the same time I want you to know that I believe English should be recognized, established by the federal government as a language of these United States of America, I do not believe in bilingual education. I realize in some ways this may make it harder for your children to catch up, in the end it will put them way ahead. All of my grandkids and great grandkids are half, quarter, and eighth Mexican descent. I am definitely in favor of immigration but only through the proper channels. We must respect our borders and our border’s laws, whether they are federal or state both should be the same. A tight border solution means protection for you and your rights same well as for all American citizens (anything worth having is worth working for).
Old American (Article Title)
I am an 84 year old American, a native American. That’s right, of Caucasian origin, according to my birth certificate issued by the great state of Texas, born June 11, 1929 registered as William Edwards Terrel. 84 years really doesn’t seem like such a long time when you stop and think about it, it’s roughly a third of the time our great nation has existed.
