#Patriot Prayer

Damn Trump supporters always waving banners.

[dontmeantobepoliticalbut]

The Publix heiress who bankrolled the Donald Trump rally that preceded the January 6 U.S. Capitol attack has donated money to another controversial cause — a congressional candidate who called J6 defendants "political prisoners," schmoozed with extremist Nick Fuentes, and supported a right-wing outfit known for violent clashes with left-wing groups.

Julie Jenkins Fancelli, daughter of late Publix Super Markets founder George W. Jenkins, has been offloading money to GOP campaigns and causes for years. In 2020, Fancelli sent the maximum federal donation to Donald Trump's 2020 reelection campaign. She proffered $3 million to back the January 6 rally, its organizers, and supporting groups, ultimately donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to the cause, the Washington Post reported. In July 2022, Fancelli gave $50,000 to Moms for Liberty, marking the first major contribution to the political action committee linked to the conservative group known for its school book-banning efforts across Florida.

Most recently, Federal Election Commission (FEC) records indicate Fancelli donated more than $13,000 to Republican Joe Kent, a Washington congressional candidate and military veteran who has been criticized for his support of far-right figures and groups.

On June 7, Fancelli gave $6,600 to the Joe Kent Victory Fund PAC and another $6,600 to Joe Kent for Congress, totaling $13,200 in donations to the candidate, according to FEC records.

Kent is vying to represent Washington's 3rd congressional district in 2024 after previously losing a bid for the seat to Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez. Since January, records show the Joe Kent Victory Fund PAC has raised more than $361,000, while Joe Kent for Congress has raked in more than $204,000.

Kent became a politician after serving in the military for 20 years, during which he was deployed as a U.S. Army Green Beret multiple times. The Oregon native has appeared as a guest on Steve Bannon's War Room, Alex Jones' Infowars channel, and Tucker Carlson Tonight.

A July 2022 Associated Press story reported that Kent was a political ally of Joey Gibson, founder of Patriot Prayer, and hired a member of the militant Proud Boys as a campaign consultant.

In a July 2021 video, Kent openly voiced support for Patriot Prayer, a group that organized increasingly tense rallies between 2017 and 2020 in Portland and Seattle, some of which descended into violent confrontations between left-wing activists and members of Patriot Prayer and the Proud Boys. After a brawl with purported Antifa members outside the Cider Riot ciderhouse in Portland in 2019, members of Patriot Prayer pleaded guilty to riot charges. In July 2022, a judge cleared Gibson of charges stemming from the incident.

Kent hosted a call early in his first congressional campaign to discuss strategy with extremist Nick Fuentes, founder of the "Groyper Army," who said Kent praised his social media presence. Kent later disavowed the anti-Semite in March 2022, saying he did not want Fuentes' endorsement on account of Fuentes' exclusionary, white nationalist message. Kent's reproach led Fuentes to go on repeated public tirades about the candidate, including one in which he declared, "You're not going to take our support and then throw us under the bus."

At a 2022 event organized by Kent's political aide Matt Braynard to show solidarity with defendants charged in the Capitol riot, Kent made a spirited speech in which he referred to the defendants as "political prisoners."

According to Braynard, Kent's "inclusive populism rejects racism and bigotry and invites all Americans to support his aggressive America First agenda of rebuilding our industries, ending illegal immigration, and stopping stupid military interventions that don't directly support our national interest."

In May, Fancelli donated more than $15,000 to two other GOP candidates: $9,900 to Rep. Matt Rosendale of Montana, and $6,600 to Rep. Jim Banks of Indiana.

Publix did not respond to New Times' requests for comment, and attempts to reach Fancelli were unsuccessful.

Publix spokespeople previously told New Times that the Fancelli family is not involved in the management of the supermarket chain and holds no decision-making power over the company. A 2018 financial filing states that the prior year, Publix purchased food from Alma Foods, a supplier owned by Fancelli, but that "subsequent to April 2017, Julia Jenkins Fancelli has no ownership of Alma."

Fancelli grew up in Lakeland, Florida, home of Publix's headquarters. According to Forbes, the Jenkins family had an $8.8 billion fortune as of 2020, making it one of the wealthiest families in America.

Evening Prayer - 4 Jul 2024

Loving One, thank you for the accident of birth that made me a citizen of the United States of America. I know this country isn’t perfect and I know that many of the freedoms we have are under threat and that this country could become decidedly worse (especially if those of us who value democracy aren't vigilant). Maybe those very threats are part of what is making me thankful to be an American tonight. Whatever it is that spurring this patriotism, it’s coming out as gratitude tonight. Thank you. Amen.

Patriotism is the best prayer ever said by citizens who truly love their fatherland, and in times of emergency you could hear prayers like this: *THE EMERGENCE OF A NEW NIGERIA*

If there is a new York and a new Delhi, rest assured there will be a new Nigeria come 2023, therefore, any group of people, tribe, person (s) or candidate who will attempt to scuttle, manipulate, buy, sell, bully or disrupt the process of actualising this dream, oh God of heaven we pray Thee!

1. Turn their counsel into foolishness, 2Sam 15:31.

2. Let their money perish with them, Acts 8:20.

3. They will not go far in the election process, 2Tim 3:9.

4. Set confusion in their midst, Ps 109:29.

5. In their plot to rig the election ambush them, 2Chro 20:22.

6. Set thou a wicked man over them: and let satan stand at their right hand, Ps 109:6.

7. Let their days be few; and let another take their offices, Ps 109:8.

8. Let there be none to extend mercy unto them, Ps 109:12.

9. Let them fall into the pits they have dug for innocent Nigerians, Prov 26:27.

10. Let them perish in the gallows they have prepared to hang others, Esth 7:9.

11. Let total destruction come upon them suddenly and without remedy, Prob 29:1.

12. In their pride and arrogance, let them wallow and end up in shame, Prov 16:18.

13. Cause their evil and wickedness against Nigeria/Nigerians to return upon their heads, Judges 9:57.

14. Because they have made themselves god(s) over this nation, humiliate them like you did Nebuchadnezzar, Dan 4:30-33.

15. Thwart their evil plans and frustrate them come 2023, Job 5:12.

16. Their judgement shall be without mercy, their condemnation speedily executed, James 2:13.

17. Expose them for who they really are and what they represent, 2Tim 3:8.

18. Let their defense and stronghold depart from them, Num 14:9.

19. Establish thou the institution of true democracy in our land, 1Chron 26:13-14.

20. Set thou righteous leaders over us come 2023, Prov 29:2.

21. Have mercy upon us and forgive us our sins, Ps 123:3.

22. Heal our land and restore our nation, 2Chron 7:14.

23. Let the process be bloodless and give to us a peaceful transition of power on May 29th 2023 in Jesus mighty name Amen!🙏

Pls join in these prayer train, copy, forward, paste and share in all your social media handle, churches and prayer groups.

God will stand with us and see us through the entire process and time, a new Nigeria is dawning already and will totally break forth in 2023, this is our goal and will certainly be our outcome, thanks.

The Shadow Nation

Zuko will admit that his time as Fire Lord has been a rough adjustment. Many oppose his rise to power, scream for a more prolonged war, and still support Ozai over the banished prince turned tratior (In their eyes at least).

He has dealt with many assassination attempts throughout his two-year rule. Suki and her warriors were working nonstop to keep him safe, but even they couldn't be everywhere at once. So it came to no surpise that one managed to sneak through every now and then.

Ussually, Zuko is able to fight them off. What many people of the fire nation don't realize is that the stories of his bending and combat being weaker then his sister and father are in the past. He has plentely of front line combant experince, has re-shaped his whole fire bending tenchine and has even trained the Avatar.

Zuko, to this day, is much more deadly with his swords than with his flames. The fact his people consider none-bending as a none-threaten is a sadundervalue of his combat abilitiess. The assasins are always so suprise when they learned just how ready he is for them.

They spent the rest of their days in a prision cell, stweing in rage that the Fire Lord contuines to call back troops, return colines and some may say worst of all, welcome the Mixed Blood into the nation.

Mixed Blood are children who resulted from Fire Nation soldiers letting off some stress in conquered areas with other Nations. They were not seen as equals, for Fire stood above all, and those children were servents at best, dirty secerts at worse.

This was a notion that all four elements shared. They disagreed with intermingling with the wrong element. The Mixed were not welcomed anywhere, less if they shared Fire in their veins. There was some tolerance for Water and Earth mixing but only some and only in trading ports that were far out of sight. (Or the pleasure district where all the Mixed eventually ended up)

It saddens Aang; he claimed a hundred years ago that mixed was common, and it's another thing this wretched war ruined.

Mostly, it angered Zuko. He knew what it was like to be an unwanted child, knew the confusion, the anger, the pain of wondering why his birth was such a sin.

He met some mixed children while on the run from the Fire Nation - he suspected Jet was one of them, but he never dared voice his opinion. Being outed as mixed in some places was as good as a death sentence. Ba Sing Se was one of those places.

He decided that the if Fire Nation would heal everything they have done then they needed to make admends for such children. They needed to help them find love and a home. With the help of his friends, he sent out a world wide notice welcoming any Mixed Blood and promising a life where they did not need to hide who they were.

Zuko, will admit that this eagerness to welcome those children may have blinded him from how lowly his people saw the Mixed. His assassination attempts tripled since herds and herds of badly washed, weary eyes, and tired individuals started arriving in the fire nation.

It, apparently, didn't help that Cheif Hakoda did the same after much encouragement from Katara and Sokka. The Fire Nation for the past three generations grew up with nothing but tales on how they should never be like the rest of the world.

Agreeing to shelter Mixed like the Southern Water Tribe has many calling for a coup.

Zuko knew this. But he would not stop in his effort to right the many wrongs of his bloodline. He expected the assumptions, he expected the barely hidden insults of his advisors, he expected the resentment from some of his more patriotic people.

What he wasn't expecting was his people trying to rid of him using spirits.

Zuko doesn't know much about the spirits or the spirit world. Aang never really talked about his trips there, and Uncle would only warn him to respect the beings at all costs.

He knew enough to follow, honor them, give them prayers, and how to avoid them but nothing else. So he really isn't prepared for his latest assassin to be an old woman with a spirit trapped in a cursed pot.

Apparently, her family had sealed it away years ago, and in exchange for its freedom, the spirit is tasked with ridding the world of Fire Lord Zuko. The old hag waits until Aang, Uncle, and Sokka- who also surprisingly has some encounters with spirits- depart before attempting her plan.

She rushes into the Gand Courtroom, throwing her pot with a loud release spell on her lips. Zuko is in the middle of a peace summit, so his first instinct is to protect the visiting diplomatics, less the other Nations call war again.

The old woman is quickly taken down by the Kypshi warrior, but the deed is already over.

The pot shatters, and out bursts a blue burning flame that forms into a howling wolf. There are chains along the wolf neck, and no amount of thrashing can break them. The wolf looks up, straight into Zuko's eyes, ignoreing the swords and flames of his guards trying to protect him before it bows it head.

I'm sorry. It seems to say. This is the only way.

He leaps at Zukom by passing every attempt to stop it, before it digs it's teeth into the Fire Lord's neck. Everyone is left watching in horror as the young king screams in agony, blue flames licking all over his body as he truns to dust.

The wolf's chains shatter as the last of the ashes that were once the man who brought peace to the world fall. The old woman laughs, even though the wolf spirit now turns it rage filled eyes on her and her kin.

She did what she needed to do. The Fire Nation will rise.

She is unaware that her actions cause the Fire Nation to burn. The wolf spirit was the nation's original spirit of mercy, and her family was the ones responsible for sealing it away on the order of thelate Fire Lord Sozin.

She is unaware her ancestors were all but wiped out once they successfully put the wolf away, for fear that they would turn on the nation.

There is nothing more dangerous than a spirit that no longer holds mercy. The Fire Nation seems to vanish overnight. It breaks Avatar Aang's heart but world prepares for a second war. A war against the spirits.

But that is the fate of this timeline. Fire Lord Zuko would never know the fate of his people as he was sent far away by Mercy to fulfill another destiny.

It's the least the spirit can do for having to take his human life in part of a deal.

Zuko wakes to find the Blue Spirit Mask attached to his face, laying on his back in what could only be Fire Nation colonies within the Earth Kingdom.

His trusted duel swords tied to his back., his utterly black outfit with only hints of blue undertones, and the most startling feature of all, his now unscared skin.

Zuko has no idea what is going onas he studies his face in a river, tracing his smooth skin with a near-hysterical glee. He's never considered himself overly goodlooking, but for some reason his relection is pretty.

No, not pretty, gorgeous. Unnaturally so, as if he traded his humanity for features as perfect as these.

What in the world-

A scream breaks through the air. High pitch, laced with fear and sp obviously young, Zuko is donning his mask breaking into a sprint before he even process what he is doing.

He does not notice the small flickers of ember he leaves in his wake, multiple colors as his dragon flames, nor does he see that the speed he travels is impossible unless he, too, is an Airbender.

When he breaks through the treeline, he finds himself in a ruined camp. A crowd of Earth Kingdom soldiers surrounds two small children, who look no older than ten, while a third, probably twelve, is desperately trying to free himself from a large boulder that seems to have crushed his legs.

There is blood everywhere, and Zuko burns with rage.

"Mixed Blood isn't welcome here," A soldier spits, kicking the thrashing twelve-year-old. The gut-curling screams the poor thing releases don't seem to affect the soldiers besides a few taunting smirks.

"Spirits help us!" One of the smaller kids cries out and a near by soulder kicks her in the stomech.

"The spirits don't answer to the likes of-" His words are lost as blue flames overtake the small opening, placing a barrier between the children and the adults.

Zuko walks through the flames, a strange sense of calmness washing over him. Deep within, he knows that he will protect these children from the world and burn everything in his path that tries to stop him.

"A spirit," One of the soldiers gasps. "Why is a spirit here?!"

"You attacked children." Zuko's voice is his own but not. It sounds like it's coming from a deep cave, as if the echoing flickers in and out like a candle flame. Somehow, it sounds far worse than Aang whenever his past lives speak through him.

It would have chilled him to the bone if he was in the right state of mind.

"You attacked children." He repeats when he does not get the responses he wants from the soldiers. They are not groveling before the children in regret. They are not freeing the boy from his pain. They are not moving.

"These are not children. These are Mixed- abominations! We were only trying to Agggh No, please. Mercy! No no! Please," One of the soldiers starts, but his words are cut off by the blue flames that suddenly grab hold of him, shaping him into chains and dragging him into the shadows that have formed around Zuko.

Shadows that hold loud screaming voices all being for death for that would be a mercy.

His screams echo alongside the voices within Zuko's shadow as he tilts his head to the remaining soliders.

"You attacked children. Leave" He whispers and at once the screams stop, the shadows draw back into his own human shaped one and his flames blow out. The Earth Kingdom soldier remains on the floor, eyes seeingless, and skin blue.

Dead.

The rest of the Soldiers don't linger, rushing to leave the angry spirits sight. Zuko watches them leave from behind his mask wondering where such rage had come from. And why he felt numb to the life he just took. Why he felt so unhuman and not be bothered by the thought.

He reaches up to trace the Blue Spirit Mask, feeling dancing flames along his fignertips.

Well done. Our children are safe. A voice whispers in his mind. It's Zuko, but it's also not. It's something more.

He hears a small whimper that snaps his out of whatever hold the mask has over him snaps. He turns his attention to the three children. The two are trying to push the bolder off of the eldest, their features scream Fire Nation but their eyes and coloring belie their Earth Kingdom.

Zuko stride over, waves a hand and the rock butns to dust harmlessly. The younger children cower and the oldest is too daze with pain to do anything else but sob.

His legs are comepletly smashed.

The cold burning rage returns.

Our children. Heal them. Zuko hears, and he wonders if he's gone mad. It's his own voice, but it belongs to the Blue Spirit.

I can't. I'm not a waterbender. He tells it

We can. We heal with green flames. Heal. It insits

Zuko traces the jaw of his mask before he raises a hand and sure enough green flames lick his fingers. The children start to sob, but he heads their fear no mind as he brings the green fire down on the boy's broken body, willing it to warm, fix heal.

Bones, muscles and skin slowly repair one by one, taking whatever scars once decorated the child's skin and leaving smooth almost too perefect sking behind.

Once done the flames jump onto the other children, fixing the broken bones, the bruises and the many scars other less kind humans have given them.

The three gape up at the spirit who holds out a hand.

"Would you like to come live in my nation?"

"The spirit world?" One whispers wondering if they had not been rescued after all. If that had all pasted to the next world.

The spirit tilts its head before removing its mask and revealing a face so beautiful it could rival the stars and sun. "No, dear child. My nation. My name is Zuko."

A fifth nation is born. The Shadow Nation moves from place to place but can never be taken as the spirits themselves protect the civilians.

Not that Zuko realizes it. He's just trying to get back to the Fire Nation, and if he impulsively stops every time a child is in pain and said child follows behind him like a lost puppy, well, that's no one's business but his own.

The legend of the Blue Spirit, protector of all children, inspires so many before Avatar Aang is found in the Southern Water tribe three years later.

A fire wolf watches from a far and smiles.

:

10 May In Indian History :

.. 10th May 1857 .. the great Indian rebellion .. the 1st war of independence against the British at Meerut .. the rebellion began in the form of a mutiny of sepoys of the East India Company's army in the garrison town of Meerut ..

Meerut is situated between the holy rivers Ganga and Yamuna ..

Thanks to its geographical importance, the fertile Ganga-Yamuna doab had been an important centre of human activities since the very early times of Vedic Civilisation.

From the medieval period onwards, the proximity of this city to Indraprastha (present day Delhi) helped it play an important role in the affairs of India.

With the capture of power by the British, Meerut became a major military centre. The aggrieved Indian soldiers of the British Army began their fight against the imperial powers in this soil on 10th May, 1857. They captured the control of the city in one day and marched to Red Fort in Delhi, which was considered to be the symbol of control over the whole of India. On their way, they were joined by the common people who shouted patriotic war cries. By the next morning, Red Fort had fallen into the hand of the freedom fighters.
