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

Condolences, WB, and that's a great memorium.
My parents passed just a few years ago and were maybe a bit older, my father served in WWII, but the feeling was much the same. My father always loved politics and we discussed them often - except in my father's case, in his last few years he lost himself, not Alzheimer's exactly, but - well, maybe what I got to see is what he was like as a child, which put a different light on much I had wondered about him, maybe we never really know our parents until it's all over - and too late to tell them how wonderful it all was.
Peace.
Sorry about your parents.
It seems like all the lessons foisted upon the common man and dearly paid for are being discarded by Harvard Soviets.

At death, everybody goes to somewhere "good" (even the atheist), the problem with that is that it is based on a false hope based on emotions, for apart from being reconciled to God through Christ; all will perish in their sins for it has been appointed once for men to die, THEN the judgment.

Do not get me wrong, my heart and my prayers go out to you for you have suffered great losses and this is why I come to you with the hardest of all truths. Jesus said that He is the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE and no ONE, not even one, enters heaven but through Him. So if anyone rejects THE truth bound up in Christ and His gospel and most do based on total laziness to see if the Scripture is true, then they will get what they asked for, separation from God, which is hell.

I hope they knew the Lord of glory and if they did, then you can be where they are...God bless you! If they did not and you do not, then you will still be together.

I was raised as a Christian so they have that hedge covered just in case.
I'll not burden your mind with pre-ordained rules.
I wish you the best and have been honored to witness
the best of what the world has to offer here and today.
Sincerest sympathy Brother.
Sounds like you had great relationships with them. You're incredibly fortunate.
Mom was my best friend and a genuinely upstanding human being. Her mind is eroding and I miss her presence.
Wishing you peace and calm.
Unfortunately, the concept of being best friends with your parents is anathema to too many
I recently lost both mine (WW II vets) within 9 months. Her to Alzheimers and him to a broken heart and I have not the words to express what the feeling is like.
God bless!
Sorry to hear about your parents. I now understand the concept of death by broken heart.
Sincerest condolences Billy B. Their strength is evident in your work. Stay brave.
my mom this june and a beautiful sixteen year old girl this week....an absolute explosion of love. it's what makes us human.
Your parents ‘have done’ very good by the world, William.
You and your art are overwhelming evidence of that.
My and Ms Creature’s condolences on your personal loss.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss.
All of us that have lost our parents share the obligation to carry on their good name and hopefully add to their legacy to pass on to our children.
I'm sure they felt that you have been successful in that regard.
Sorry to hear of your loss.
Your parents lived through the greatest period in modern history, and willnot have to endure the horrors to come.

Keep your folks alive, WB7, every day. We don't need a magic happily-ever-after destination for our departed loved ones: they're in here, all the time. Great parents embed themselves so thoroughly and deeply into an offspring's neural framework that they essentially become one with that offspring. As long as you (and others they've influenced profoundly) are alive, WB7, they're alive.

WB7, I am so very sorry to read of your loss. Please treasure the memories of a good relationship with your parents, something many will never know with their own.
You are all that your parents ever were. Live your life accordingly, and all will be well.
Kick some ass, cut the grass, have a drink and a cigar with class.
This is how you honor their memories.
An old Chinese proverb says this, "One generation plants the trees, and another gets the shade." You and I are still living in the shade of some trees that were planted by our parents and grandparents and great-grandparents. We are shaded, to some degree, by their moral standards, their spiritual commitment, their value system, their sense of right and wrong, their commitment to duty. We are shaded by what our parents and grandparents planted.
The question that faces us today is what kind of trees are being planted today to shade the future generation from what may well be the blistering heat of an Antichrist dominated world. Are we planting anything or are we leaving our children totally exposed?
The answer is obvious isn't it?!
Yes, the answer is obvious and disgusting.
Beautiful tribute to your Dad.
All I can say is that "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree" so they must have been extraordinary people!
My condolences in your time of grief having dealt with the same.
I'll bet he was proud of you, William. We all are too!
Sorry for your loss, my friend.
GOD bless you, WB7. May Love, Light, and Life be your heart's content -- and that of ours -- always!
Thank you again for all your good works. I shall have my "nano" art gallery up soon, and two of your prints have "central casting". As promised, I'll send you picture of the pictures (yours along with David Dees and Jim Kirwan).
If anything you ZHers might do to memorialize this moment (tears do fall) -- BUY one of those incredible images crafted by William Banzai 7, finely printed, and hang it with pride in your office or living room.
Thank you very much, for me it is all about the art. I think everyone can plainly see that I am doing all i can to protect the indepence and integrity of all I produce. And I truly appreciate all the help I get.
It's not surprising to learn your parents were so extraordinary. Take care and take time.
I know everyone's parents are special. But I am lucky, they are both greatly missed in their community.
Amen to that.
I hope I speak for everyone in this eclectic community when I say you are a treasure to this site and the world. http://www.pulsionerotica.com/video/1838_First-time-for-triple-penetrati...
If any of that was due to them, then they are missed as much as you are appreciated.
We convey our deepest sympathies to you knowing it is always much harder for those left behind.
TYLER!!!!
PLEASE REMOVE THIS P.O.S., ASAP!
Thanks for that, you won't be around long.
For anybody that might be at work or have kids around, this user here joined ZH a week ago and spams porn links. It's particularly distasteful in this thread.
One sick puppy.
You just passed through a great Rubicon-moment, especially so since you obviously had loving parents. Nothing will ever be the same, man. All you can do is to take everything good and worthy from those two wonderful guides, keep planting those seeds, and try to call it ALL good, even the effed-up stuff, because the Universe obviously loves a good drama. Godspeed.
I was as ready as one can be, but of course you can never be ready for this.
RIP to them both, and may you have the courage to Carry on, even more pronounced.
Hold the Fort! And hold it good.
The fort is being covered, I am out on patrol...
WB7 - Sorry for your loss. Sounds like your dad was a great guy. You're fortunate to have those memories. Enjoy them.
Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.

Nice
WB, sorry to hear of your loss. I'm sure he is still engaged in the fight from the other side and watching over you.
Condolences WB, time does heal this wound I've discovered.
Please accept my heart felt condolances William.
Both of my parents have passed beyond, and I feel the same duty as you to carry on through this darkness to a new sunrise...

Sorry about your parents, you know the drill as many others here as well.
peace and much love be with you William.
I add my condolences...
What a lucky man your Dad was, to have such a righteous son, and to leave promptly when called. After being the luckiest guy in the world for 47 years, I lost my wife 19 months ago, and it indeed ain't fun.

Take care of yourself WB.
He will fly on golden wings filled with blessed air.
