Patriot Express Newsletter Edition #300

Greetings and welcome to the Patriot Express Newsletter Edition #300. Thanks for stopping by for this month's edition. It is October 2025. Thanks for your continued support. Is it me, or does it seem September was a blink and gone? I have noticed in retirement. time goes much faster. Heck, I think this applies to getting older equally or more.

October is a busy month. Ms. Lucy and I will be out of country the first week of October and then I will be teaching preparedness with brother Otis at a Christian retreat at Camp New Dawn in Chickamauga, GA the second week of October. HFS will host our monthly Zoom session the third week of October. Throughout the month as time permits, I will work to put together the PENL for November. Hopefully we will host our annual HFS rally in Waynesville, NC in early November if everything comes together. We hope to offer a ham radio working group on day one and the overall HFS group rally on day two of the scheduled event. Fingers crossed.

This may not seem big from your perspective, but this is HFS 300th posted PENL. Do you realize the average novel is 70,000 to 100,000 words. Based on the average size of the PENL weekly until this year when we changed to monthly, this would be roughly 25 to 30 books written. Having written two books, it's a lot of words. Or from the mouth of Orangeman, "that's bigly" Looking back over the 300 published newsletters we have witnessed six years of continued change around America and the world. Tell me, what has gotten better? Let's be positive now,.,...are you wiser to the world now? More prepared than 300 issues ago? Do you feel better about your ability to take care of yourself and family? I hope so. We can't control 99% of the things happening around us. But, we can control 99% of our ability to survive and sustain during events happening around.

I don't want to spend a lot of time on the topic of Charlie Kirk and what took place because my words could never magnify what an amazing young man he was. When you look at the list of accomplishments in his short 31 years of life it is simply uplifting and amazing. I won't give any words or thoughts to the sad soul who is believed to have taken Charlie's life way to soon. Charlie Kirk took on all voices with respect and handed them a microphone to be heard. He respectfully allowed them a voice and then dialogued with them. Now, we must continue what Charlie started if we want to win our country back peacefully. Nuff said.

We are at the one-year anniversary of the Hurricane Helene disaster and things still are not back to normal for many. Please keep the folks still without running water or access to toilets, homes, cars, jobs and food, in your prayers. Democrat or Republican, it is a crying shame so many of our people are still suffering.

HFS is starting a Truth Seeker series on the HFS YouTube channel with different Truth Speakers discussing things such as how to have the Jesus conversation with others; how to get involved in local and federal politics; communicating with today's youth; mentoring teens and young men to be accountable and leaders; and more to come. The first series video will post just after Oct 1, 2025. Check out the series and get involved. It matters.

Ding, Ding, Ding....Attention HFS readers..... Opinions shared in this newsletter are just that, opinions, and nothing more. Read at your own risk. The owner and author of this site is not responsible for hurt feelings or thin-skinned readers. I do my best to show restraint and respect to the best extent possible. I take as many precautions as possible and try to remain as nonpolitical as possible, however, there are times when I just can't help but point certain things out. Occasionally I use words only Patriots recognize and understand. It's not personal against any non-Patriot. It's just the truth. Sometimes we must pull up our spenders and suck it up. Just saying. Stay the course, read what you want, and avoid the rest. Avoid fear porn as much as possible and the day will be okay. When all else fails… Keep the faith and always have Hope.

Thoughts for the month - The world is a spark from exploding in war

With each passing tick of the clock, the world edges closer to World War. Many older experienced experts state they have never witnessed a time in history where the world lacks leaders in key roles, such as heads of state, who can manage the crisis at hand. Outside the United States, many view America not as a global leader but as a puppet to Israel. Spiritual or not, this is unraveling past stability in key regions the United States has trusted as allies or key regional launching point for military actions as needed. The recent missile strike by Israel, in Qatar is shifting Middle Eastern alliances and historical allies to America. Because of these actions and the shifting of alliances, the United States is now considering going back to Afghanistan to regain control of the large military installation built by the United States because it appears Saudi Arabia is waffling on maintaining US military access and positioning of key military assets supporting the Middle East. I'm hearing different perspectives on the US and Saudi relationship. As the story has been long told, when a non-Middle Eastern nation, especially Israel, attacks a Middle Eastern nation, the Middle East will come together, and it appears that is happening now.

What happened to the President of peace. No 45 wanted us out of all wars and to come home and rebuild America. Now he is threatening to pull out of NATO, go back to Afghanistan, invade Greenland, crush Russia and standby Ukraine. Did I miss something? A nation holding a $37 trillion dollar debt stands on shaky grounds when it produces nothing and depends on the world for imports of oil, food, medicine, steel, and essential resources to maintain a strong military and national defense. Presidents Putin and Xi stated they are moving forward with a digital currency and offered the United States to join or be left behind. The says to me the United States is no longer a global power or threat to them when united. Maybe considering roughly 70% of US dollars are held outside the United States, and Russia is wealthy with $37 trillion dollars in natural resources and China controls much of what the US imports, this could put a strangle hold on America if the BRICS monetary system goes forth. Europe has no financial ability to stand up to anyone and with winter coming, Russia will be essential to their survival or else freeze over the winter months. The Middle East is hanging on by a thread and rapidly trying to identify their future financial survival as their oil drains dry. The world is broken, and no one has stepped up with a solution to resolve and fix problems.

Take the time to listen to this edition of Capital Cosm interviewing Martin Armstrong to get a history lesson of what is happening.

Prayers - Please keep our great nation, our elected leaders, military and first responders in your thoughts and prayers. We pray for good health and wisdom. Please pray for our leadership to find answers and guidance to the problems facing our great nation. May your faith remain strong and answers to the unknown provided. God is good and may our prayers blanket and protect you and your circumstances. I pray for each, and every one of our Patriots.

Our HFS family has many prayers needs for health and positive uplifting. We love you all and continue praying for each of you.

May we pray for all the blessings and things in life to be thankful about and continued hope for revival around the world. We must continually pray for the unsaved, our family and friends who live each day without the protection for eternal life and salvation.

As Patriots we must stay strong and never give up. Our home, community, and nation need us now more than ever. Stay focused on your local community and things that will impact you around the nation. Don't allow the events around you to create fear in your life. Build your own self-reliance and focus on faith and hope. Remember we are a blessed nation, and we must continue to be great people today and make a better tomorrow. Keep charging.

Blessings,
