Greetings friends, it’s me Faluch Bigsby, author of God Uses Gangsters. You can buy a copy at all major vendors. Anyways, today on World’s Nation, First Peter 2:9.
Today I want to talk about the forgotten soldiers who contributed to a progressive society that so many people forgot about. Winston Churchill [Victor Hugo] once said, “You got enemies? Good. That means you stood for something sometime in your lifetime.” Lord knows I personally got a lot of enemies. And guess what? It doesn’t really matter, because that just lets me know that I stood for something. I’m sitting here doing a 21 year sentence, basically, because I’m a political prisoner.
But guess what, enough about me. Let’s talk about Cesar Chavez. Does anybody know who he is? Probably not. Should they? Yes, he should be recognized as one of the first people that ever created a union for immigrant workers. Yes, the poor pickers that the elite society decided to take advantage of by giving him poor wages. Cesar Chavez decided to fight for labor rights and get a labor union for those that are working. So therefore they can pay taxes and get a fair wage. So, I think we should definitely honor this hero because he looked out for the poor people that were trying to work hard to make America great.
Next, let’s talk about somebody that everybody’s forgot about: Lewis Latimer. Louis Latimer helped create the light bulb, but because he was a slave, he was denied given the credit. Now, not saying that Thomas Edison didn’t want to give him the credit, because we really don’t know who, what, when, where, or why, but we do know this. Lewis Latimer played a major role in the creation of the light bulb, and he’s not in our history books. Why is that? Because he who wins—the government and so forth, gets to write the history the way that they want to to make it sound good. Well, I tell you what, he’s a forgotten hero, and I’m glad that he helped create the light bulb. So thank you, Lewis Latimer.
Next, let’s talk about a women’s rights activist that nobody really knows about, Judge Rosemarie Aquilina. A personal friend of ours here at the World Nation is Steve Tab, which was a clerk for Judge. Steve Tab is a Christadelphian. He is one of my fellow brothers in Christ. Very good guy. Well, he was a part of this whole big ordeal that Aquilina had going on. He knew her and knew the friends that were involved in this. There was a lady named Rachael that went to the judge. And Rachael basically was a whistleblower on the Larry Nassar case. And she got a lot of blow back for taking this case. But she definitely dug her heels in. And she definitely got the man convicted. And she did it right. She did it by the law. She didn’t take no pay outs. And yeah, there were some rich elites that wanted her to look away. And there was a lot of people that tried to cover this case up before it even got started. But guess what? Judge Rose Aquilina dug her heels in, she took the blow back, she did what she was supposed to do. And she’s a women’s rights pioneer. And she did a lot of good things. So people like Rachael and the rest of the victims were able to go on with their life and feel some type of civility in this nation. Thank you, Judge.
Last but not least, I want to talk about Mr. Navalny. I pronounced that probably wrong. But he was a Russian that ran against Putin, and he was murdered for his beliefs. Now, with that being said, I just wanted to say that America might be corrupt, we might have a lot of bad things going on in our government. But overall, most freedom fighters live to tell their story in this country. Most and other countries can’t. So let’s just be grateful for what liberties we do have in this nation and capitalize on that. Let’s love America, because Mr. Navalny, the Russian guy that Putin killed? Guess what, he doesn’t have a life because he stood for the right thing. So, I think we should honor him and just be grateful that we don’t have those type of oppressions in America.
With that, I just want you to understand that yes, I speak out against the government. But I believe that any civilized society needs a government; so, I’m not anti-government. I’m anti-corruption. With that. This is today’s World Nation. God bless you.
