Bright Idea: Lighten Up—Let the Sunshine In
By PatZi (with a Z!)

Florida has been known as “The Sunshine State” since 1970 when the 
legislature in Tallahassee voted to make that simple (yet effective) three-word phrase the official state nickname. 
Sadly, Louisiana State Legislature decreed "You Are My Sunshine" as
its state song. That would have been the perfect choice for Florida,
which in 1935 picked "Old Folks at Home," also known as “Swanee 
River.” 
“You Are my Sunshine” is a popular tune having been translated into at
least 30 languages and recorded by more 350 artists, including Gene 
Autry, Ray Charles, and Johnny Cash.  
The Beatles have their own bright ditty titled “Good Day Sunshine” that
includes the line, “I need to laugh and when the sun is out I’ve got something I can laugh about.”
If it ever drops “ Swanee River,” perhaps Florida can have the last laugh 
on Louisiana by switching to the Fab Four’s lively upbeat jingle.
Speaking of “Good Day Sunshine,” did you know that since 1910
St. Petersburg has been known as “The Sunshine City”? That’s when news-
paperman Lew Brown, editor of The Evening Independent, started a 
promotion in which he offered a free newspaper to “everybody every
day the sun does not shine on St Petersburg.”
That free paper promotion lasted 76 years—until The Evening
Independent closed down in 1986. During that time, the popular
afternoon newspaper made good on its offer 296 times.
One final tidbit: The Tampa Bay area used to have a newspaper called 
“The Clearwater Sun”—talk about a bright idea.
I am now happy to carry on the tradition of newspaper writing – and 
want to thank Kevin Leonard and CVA Tampa Bay for the
opportunity to share my column, AfterWords, with all of you. My goal is to 
amuse you, inspire you, and mostly to encourage you to find the JOY 
of living. 
With AfterWords I will be able to share lessons I have learned during 
the past seven years since Joy on Paper premiered on TanTalk Radio 
Network in Clearwater, Florida. In that time, I have had interviewed 
eleven Mystery Writer of America Grand Masters, over 250 New York 
Times bestselling authors – and even the US Poet Laureate.
They have inspired me – and I hope that AfterWords will inspire you to write your own story.
People always ask me how they can become better writers. My
suggestion is to read poetry. You learn how valuable each word is when 
you read – or better yet – write poetry. I would like to leave you with 
this poem from one of my favorite poets:

In the early 1970’s, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP): 1) clarified its purpose; 2) strengthen its control over the people of China; and 3) established a “100 Year Plan,” the long-term Chinese objective of World Dominance. The CCP “100 Year Plan” has evolved from: 1) long term goals;  2) a comprehensive worldwide strategy;  3) detailed plans tailored for each continent;  4) tactics against each nation, particularly industrialized countries; and 5) specific actions which garner full dominance, if not control, over each and all countries.
The first continent to be enveloped was Asia, China’s “home land.”  The leaders of China believe that China is the only legitimate nation in the world with legitimately accepted boundaries.    Thus, all of Asia is China’s domain.
The second continent targeted has been Africa. The third continent targeted has been South America. 
The fourth continent to be targeted has been North America.
China does not recognize that the borders between Mexico, Canada and the United States are legal boundaries to be respected and to be legally enforced.  China puts forth its position that North America is one land mass, with no legal boundaries separating the tribes from Mexico, Canada and the United States.  
With much hypocrisy on the aforementioned position of one  land area but not three separate nations, China has established three different strategies to take down each country in North America, with a set of different tactics for each of the three.  In Mexico, China has already 
“bought their cooperation”, if not their pledged allegiance. Canada has been run by leftist, .
globalists officials for decades.
These politicians have always exercised their right to be seen as separate and distinct from the United States.  However, China has plans to bridle the “Freedoms to be Canada” and to have Mexico and Canada become integral parts of China controlled, “Taiwan of North America.”
China’s  Philosophy  Towards  America The United States is the ultimate prize for China.  Preferably, to transform America without destroying it.  But if that is not possible, then China must still “radically changed” America, at any expense, into a one-party totalitarian nation, subservient to China. When America is transformed by China, Canada and Mexico will not be able to stand on their own and will succumb to being part of “Taiwan of North America.”
China’s  Master  Plan  to  Destroy  America The book “Unrestricted Warfare,” was written in 1999 by two Colonels from the Chinese Communist Army, who are now Lt. Generals in their Army. Since China cannot defeat America militarily, China must use all other 
“Unconventional Methods” to secure “Victory” and “Achieve Absolute Control.”  
1. Use the Strengths of America Back Against America
The US Constitution
Healthcare System to Lock-down the Economy Justice System for Unequal Enforcement of the Laws
2. Overwhelm the Weaknesses of America Porous Borders allows for the uncontrolled illegal Change Voter Demographics
3. Solicit Dark Money (International & Domestic)  Media & 2020 Elections
​
The United States is the only nation in the world, which: 
1. Allows foreign entities (Government, Company or Individual) to purchase 100 % ownership in US land and/or US corporations;
2. Does not secure it borders; and
3. Allows chained immigration (an individual, once qualified for immigrant status, can bring in up to 35 family members, two generations older or  younger. These dangerous positions have made it easier for China to succeed in taking over the United States.
To conquer a nation, the attacker must gain control of the following major support systems: Energy Supply; Food Supply; Healthcare; Pharmaceuticals; Education; Media; Justice System; and the Borders. China has made significant in roads in to controlling each of the sectors.

NOTE: The United States is the only obstacle to stopping the Chinese Communist Party, Barack Obama and George Soros from controlling the entire world.
