BACK TO THE POWER AGAIN...
BACK TO THE POWER AGAIN...
Wondering where I have been lately?
Last week on precisely the same day and approximately the same time my Mom passed two years ago, Mom came for my Dad.
The past two years were a great struggle for him. He was heartbroken.
But he kept on notwithstanding.
He kept his considerable medical issues at bay and remained engaged with a community that held him in the greatest esteem.
In the end he fell and hit his head…it was fast.
What is most relevant to we of Zero Hedge is as follows:
He and my Mom both lived through the terror and hell of WWII as youngsters. They both experienced the scenes we are witnessing constantly today first hand.
Bombs dropping, fleeing with everything you own on your back or in your pocket and the fear of not knowing what happens next.
They both traveled extensively, including in particular to those places we now see in complete mayhem, Syria being just one example.
He knew his history and geography backwards and forwards and would never express an opinion unless he knew his shit. I tested my ideas on him daily.
I will tell you what he thought of the current state of world affairs. It is simple. He was appalled.
He was appalled at discovering that nothing has changed since the big wars: Guns and chaos for paper profit.
He was appalled at the role of our country principally in creating that chaos which currently reigns over the planet.
And he was appalled at the feckless bankster obseqium of ALL the consummate morons and political bagmen populating Vichy DC.
As many of you know, so was my Mom.
Although he was not engaged with ZH daily as she was (he was not computer savy), he agreed with the gist of what is said here.
He was proud of the tenacity of my output and worried how I could continue forward.
I could go on with this memoriam, but I will not.
It is simple, they are both gone and I will carry the colors in the name of their memory.
They both served our country with honour and will receive the appropriate send off.
He died with his boots on holding the fort as they say.
Yes, I am sad, but I really could not think of a better way.
Given the circumstances, I believe we were signalled by the two of them not to worry, everything is fine wherever they are. And I know they are up there raising hell against the shit heads down below.
I appreciate this and I am at peace.
Thanks Mom and good bye Dad…
Peace to you both
When that great Kings return to clay,
Or Emperors in their pride,
Grief of a day shall fill a day,
Because its creature died.
But we -- we reckon not with those
Whom the mere Fates ordain,
This Power that wrought on us and goes
Back to the Power again.
The Burial, Rudyard Kipling

True.
They'll live on in your mind. My father and grandfather died 50 years ago. My grandfather was in intelligence in WWI and told me the leaders were not to be respected. Shitheads is not a word he'd use, but is apt. Against stupidity, we and the gods rail eternally. My condolences, WB7.

William, I am proud of you and your parents were too
Take your time my friend. I am glad that you posted. That is the start of the healing process.
We have your back William.
I hope they loved the artwork you did. Peace be with you, and please accept my condolences. Take your time out and grieve in peace. If it's any consolation.. we still need you over here. I think you did some artwork when your mom passed sometime ago, maybe you should take a little time out to do something for your Dad or your parents overall. Anyway, again please accept my condolences.
They were both 100% on board with what I am doing. This is my second life and like all good parents they worried about how I would make ends meet.
Bill, our condolences and our respects to your parents. Please consider taking the time that you need to settle--not necessarily all at once. I still find myself pulling over on the interstate and crying uncontrollably about my parents.

WB7,
So very sorry to hear of the loss of your father.
Sincere condolances.
Both your parents live on in you and what a shining light they beam.
Condolences.
You were lucky to have been among those so keenly motivated by someone that important to you. Does not happen always.
Your wit and committment to Liberty are a wonderful testimony to the quality of their parenting. We cannot grieve for you but I can tell you how much you touched my heart with your tribute to them...
WB;
When you lose a loved one here on earth,
you gain an angel in heaven that watches over you.
May you take comfort in knowing that you have an another
angel to watch over you now.
I extend my most sincere condolences to you.
And, glad you're back.
Tnx Alan, drop me line I am curious where the road has taken you.
Row, row, row your boat,
life is but a dream.
Wake up William,
We love you, for what you do,
Keep the banner true,
For there is too few,
Who have a clue.
Peace, brother. Grieve, but charge forth in your time; to tilt the windmills of our minds.
Be sure to make room to grieve. Don't rush it, don't push it away.
It sounds corny, but they really do live on in you. Every decision you make, they are in the conversation because you carry them in your heart.
Peace, Warrior man.
I am in a position to know with absolute certainty that everything I do now is done in their memory and honor.
Couldn't have said it better.
Peace be with you William.

Like everyone else I was wondering where you were and if everything was ok, obviously not.
Banzai there is nothing I can do to take your pain from you or I would, just know we all love and appreciate you.
Peace my brother.
What everyone here has to appreciate, and I say it with all sincerity, my wealth is stored not in a bank but in the hearts of those in my global community of friends. How many can be so lucky?
My deepest Condolences, WilliamBanzai7.
My Deepest Condolences williambanzai7 and family.
Thank you William for all you do. I am sorry to hear of your loss.
WB...my condolences....
Glad you are back.
My condolences also, time does make things easier to deal with and your tribute to your Dad and Mom were exceptional as is all your art. Stay cool as you are and of course keep the home fires burning!
I'm sure they were, and are, very proud of their son, William, as are we.
Best wishes.
Peace William -- and thanks.
condolences...., 'on a long enough timeline....' death is inevitable, but never easy for immediate family.
Although you don't know us individually, we are empathising & sending you positive vibes for this difficult time.
This thread is so heartwarming, it's like fight club just took a tea break....
My deepest sympathy,WB.
That was a beautiful tribute.
I don't even know you, but this post brings tears to my eyes. My deepest condolences and know that they live in your heart.
Carry on!
Based upon what you see me put on this website, you know me.
close, very close to you... they are
Peace WB
What is best in them lives on.
Condolences from one whose parents fled Bolsheviks in 1938. They fled to Germany, where they witnessed another terror.
Yes, the terror still lurks in the shadows.
The family is praying for you, William.
A family has friends who are a real joy, and associates whom others sometimes may not enjoy.
But all in all, it's an individual's taste, that makes the difference in success or waste.
Time's slippin' up - the family gets fewer, but added to that - our hopes will become newer.
We've learned the joy & wonderful thrill, of trusting in God and living his will.
Yes, a special place in a family heart, is a thing to be cherished and set apart.
A jewel, a treasure, a thing so dear, that it becomes more precious year after year.
Heartfelt condolences, Banzai....
I would love to sit for a few hours and listen to you share the collective memories and wisdom of your father. His perspective of history should never be forgotten. Mrs. Stengel and I send our heartfelt condolences.
They really lived unbelievable lives. They experienced the worst life has to offer and fought their way into the American dream that we all vaguely remember now.
My condolences William. Your parents did a fine job of raising you and were surely proud of you and your accomplishments. Godspeed Sir.
May their memory be eternal William, my prayers are with you.
Also, my sincere condolences.
...my sincere condolences...
.
Mr. Banzai,
Your folks sound like really good people.
Blessings to you and yours.
Godspeed to you wb7
My sincere condolences, WB. What an amazing childhood you must have had growing up with parents that were actually aware. I recently lost someone very close to me as well ... but we never really lose them ... and once the sorrow has run it's course we are left with only the happy memories.
There is no doubt that they gave me a very interesting life
William,
Eleven years ago, I suffered as you are now.
While these words are of limited comfort, this too shall pass.
Time will heal the deep wound that now stings, hopefully leaving the sweet smell of rememberance.
My deepest sympathies in the face of your loss.
May God comfort you...

^^What DaddyO said.^^ Mom passed 21 years ago and dad 1 1/2 years. They are in a better place. It gets easier. Take care of yourself William.
I am handling this because they were so intricately involved in my current life. Not many have the chance to spend so much time, albeit via electronic devices, to get so close with their parents. I was in the room at the final moment in both cases via iPads. For this reason I am forever indebted to Steve Jobs.
