Special Report from Sister Ciara

My Dearest Friends:

Of the many events that formed my being and spirituality during the war, three of the most important were my hearing the shortwave radio broadcasts of American journalist Edward Murrow describing the bombing destruction of London—likewise hearing British Prime Minister Churchill on a shortwave radio broadcast defiantly vowing that even if the whole of London were destroyed, he and his citizens would fight to the last man, woman and child to defend their island nation—and watching my mother weep when she was told by father that her second-cousins Hans and Sophie Schollhad been executed by guillotine after being convicted of treason in People's Court.

The ending of the war, as many of you know, brought me to my Dear Sisters—who healed my many wounds that set me upon a life’s journey whose ending is much more nearer than it was when first began—and who most importantly taught me that even in life’s cruelest and darkest moments, a gleaming gem of truth is always hidden—that once found, must be held onto tightly so it can be passed to others so they could learn from what was—and in learning, protect themselves.

One such gem of truth I found within myself early on was that no matter what name a war is called, its only true one is INSANITY—a truth I discovered when meeting and talking to one of the most remarkable women I’ve ever met named Jeannette Rankin—a chance meeting occurring in early 1946 when she visited Ireland (She loved to travel!) to visit German war refugee children and teenagers, such as myself, and told us how she had been the only member of the US Congress to vote against declaring war on our country—the second time she had done so as, in 1917, she had also joined 50 of her fellow US Congressmen voting against declaring war on Germany—and who, as the first woman in history to hold federal office in the United States, is remembered to this day for her words: “You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake.”

I would like to tell you that Miss Rankin and I kept up a correspondence until her death in 1973, but I can’t—with the notable exception being her writing me back in late 1953 to address my worries concerning US Senator Joseph McCarthy—who, on 9 February 1950, unleashed upon America an anti-Russia war insanity campaign known as “McCarthyism”—that included the practice of making accusations of subversion or treason without proper regard for evidence—which led to censorship, blacklists being created, and mass arrests of innocent people.

In replying to my worries, Miss Rankin sent me a short note suggesting that I read a US Congressional speech she had given (a copy of which she included) that showed the American press would always come around and eventually find the truth—and whose words affirming this in her US Congressional speech found her reminding her country’s journalists: “It is important for people to be able to read all sides of every question; for a feeling of national unity does not come from one-sided or inadequate information, but from a sense of freedom impartially secured and of opportunity equalized by a just government.”

On 14 March 1954, my joy for Miss Rankin overflowed when the BBC aired a 9 March 1954 television broadcast from America featuring Edward Murrow (the same American journalist who nightly described to peoples around the world the bombing of London) abiding by the principals she had espoused—and in which he caused a nationwide backlash against the anti-Russia insanity witch hunts being caused by Senator McCarthy—and today is seen as a turning point in the history of television.

My prefacing this letter with some of my earliest memories during the darkest times of my life has to do with, of all things, the fires raging out of control throughout the entire Arctic Circle—that in the United Statesitself has consumed over 1 million acres—and as of yesterday, had consumed an historic over 7 million acres more in Russia—a global catastrophe President Donald Trumpmet head on by his calling President Putinto offer Americanhelp to stop the raging wildfires in Siberia.

History has long show that common global catastrophes (such as is now occurring in the Arctic) have provided the means needed to bring peace among nations being in conflict with one another—but imagine my horror when, instead of celebrating this move for peace, The Washington Post heirs of the Miss Rankin and Edward Murrow legacy to tell just and true things to the American people completely ignored it—as they thought it was more important to rush out the “news” that they’ve “just discovered a hidden Russia connection” involving President Trump no one knew about before.

I wish I were making up this, but, according to The Washington Post, this “hidden Russia connection” involves the Russian-Soviet food minister visiting the United States in 1936 and bringing back home with him the machines for making hamburgers—which quickly became popular, made what were known as “Mikoyan Cutlets” which incorporated bread crumbs like a meatloaf, and were served on a plate—and though no evidence exists showing President Trump even knows about “Mikoyan Cutlets”—these modern day heirs to the legacy of Miss Rankin and Edward Murrow say it must be so because Trump loves hamburgers—as do well over 300 million other American people who eat enough hamburgers every year to circle the Earth 32 times—and, I suppose, now warrants them all being criminally investigated for their links to Russia, too.  

For their daily shoveling into the minds of their readers such insane nonsense, I’m sure you wouldn’t be surprised to know that the estimated yearly revenue for The Washington Post is $709 million—that compares to the near poverty existence my Dear Sistersand I are forced to endure because we just keep telling you the truth—such as my telling you today that when Special Counsel Robert Mueller testified before the US Congress last week, he willfully violated a US Federal Court order telling him he couldn’t link a Russian company to the Russian government because there’s no evidence proving it’s true—my telling you today that former FBI Director James Comey had his home searched leading to his being referred for federal prosecution, a prosecution declined as more serious criminal charges against him are soon coming—and my telling you today that secret British Intelligence texts have now been revealed showing how the FBI and MI5 were working together on “our strange situation” in 2016 to bring Trump down. 

So my Dear Friends, here’s exactly where we’re at RIGHT NOW—TRUTH is making its last stand in America today—and unless it finds more allies, its death will come much sooner than you can even imagine!

YOU, of course, can stand up in this battle and ally yourself with truth by supporting those of us who’ve been defending it for you—a costly battle, indeed, as we’re only armed with true things such as the legacies of Miss Rankin and Edward Murrow that demand we keep the truth flowing to you at all costs—and because of sees arrayed against us the most massively financed truth destruction machine ever seen in history that now spans nearly the entire world—thus causing allhope to be placed in America and its peoples where the light for truth, though growing dim, is still trying to shine—and whose instructions to guide you in this matter, our Lordhas already given to you with his command:” Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act.” [Proverbs 3:27]

With God,
