About Bill

Bill Clade is a graduate from the “school of practical experience” and the college of “real life”, with working experience in the retail food business, insurance industry, and a former part-time bartender. Add to that background his law enforcement, investigative research and writing, government and political experience as well.  

His main stay profession for over 40 years was in the trucking industry however, from driving straight trucks to eighteen wheelers to the operations manager for a small specialized trucking company. Bill also did a stint driving a school bus for a season and drove Sunday School buses for a couple of years. Not only was he a driver of the “big rigs”, he also worked as a mechanic on such.   

Two separate and unique “Spiritual” experiences with the God of the Bible in years past (1969 and 1982) and his varied background in the working world eventually brought about his nickname, “The Bible Mechanic” a few years ago. “Two subjects I despised in high school, English and history, are now the very subjects I use to explain to people why the nation of America has been in a rapidly declining mode, especially since 1963”, states Bill.  

Mr. Clade offers his unique methods and style, his years of secular experience and Biblical expertise to the “Tyranny Chronicles” newsletter, and on his radio show "The Bible Mechanic" on American Voice Radio.  Bill is in the process of writing his first book and doing a tape ministry.

FOOTNOTE:  About Bill - by myself.

I’m not one to “toot my own horn”; however America is in a crisis mode of epidemic proportion. The original header, “About Bill”, was written by the web master of this web site, an individual who has become a dear friend – a friend - not just an acquaintance of mine, Jacqueline Flanigan. Therefore I’m going to slightly expand the original “header” by adding this “footnote”.  

I entered into this realm we usually call “life” in May 1941 – about 6 months before World War Two began. My place of birth was in Brooklyn, NY. From what my immediate family has told me, I was someone who wasn’t expected to live, let alone “live” what would be considered a “normal life”. 

Nonetheless, eventually I did all the normal things: you know, go through grade school and high school, attended church, then into the workforce, a marriage, one young-un, a house and another young-un, and so forth. The vast majority of my “working life” was spent in the trucking industry. It was the main source of finances for the “family”. That industry gave me the opportunity to see America at “ground level”, coast to coast and border to border.  

Now I’m going to skip a lot of my lifestyles details, whereas that was then, and this is now. Unfortunately I’ve made lots of mistakes, bad decisions, bad choices – just like many other folks have; many folks will continue to do so. I would also classify some of my bad decisions and bad choices as downright stupid, supported by plenty of misinformation! So here is some “real life” and practical advice; “Learn from your past, don’t live in it.” However, most individuals nowadays do not learn from their past or mistakes, let alone those made by other individuals as well.  

Nevertheless the possibility does exist that perhaps just one individual is willing to learn from the experiences of my lifestyle, then and now. Perhaps that someone is you? Therefore this web site is not about, or even for me, rather one for and concerning “We the People”, a phrase found in the U.S. Constitution’s Preamble. Ben Franklin stated in reply to a question, regarding the U.S. Constitution, “We have given you a republic, if you can keep it.” Please note, a republic – not a democracy as we are usually told; that is a classic example of misinformation. Do you also realize where the responsibility lies to “keep the republic’? 

It should also be noted that Benjamin Franklin, one of this nation’s “founding fathers” stated, “As the Scriptures are given for our reproof, instruction, and warning, may we make a due use of this example before it is too late.” Franklin was undoubtedly referencing the Bible book referred to, known as, 2^nd Timothy 3:16. A key precept in that particular Bible verse is the word “inspiration”. 

Why is it that America is in a crisis mode of epidemic proportion, “politically” and “religiously”? Here is one reason; America’s citizens have failed to heed the words of just one individual - Benjamin Franklin – as well as the words expressed and written by the other founding “fathers” of this nation.   

Now some individuals might recognize a Biblical principle, indirectly stated by John the Baptist; “He must increase, but I must decrease” [John 3:30] Most individuals will realize to whom John the Baptist was referring to. However many of those same individuals will not recognize the principle, and therefore cannot begin to apply such to their own lifestyles, religiously and politically. For 28 years, I was one of those latter type individuals. Then in December 1969 I had a Biblical and “Spiritual” experience. A number of years later, in 1982, I had another, similar and related experience.  

However in 1963, 6 years previous to my Biblical “Spiritual experience”, I realized America was in trouble. For example, in 1963 the U.S. supreme (alleged) Court decided prayer and Bible reading were “unconstitutional” for public schools. By the time 1979 rolled around, I already had 24 years of “work” experience in various occupations, such as the retail food and beverage businesses, the insurance business, law enforcement, and even bartending. There was however this nagging question in my mind ever since 1963. “How could a few individuals change the heritage and course of America?” 

As a trucker I’ve hauled, furniture, steel, machinery, fruit, produce, cement, concrete, gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel, just to name some examples. Again, that industry gave me the opportunity to see America at “ground level”, coast to coast and border to border, as well as the opportunity to meet and talk with “the real working class” of Americans, the one’s who are continually struggling to “make ends meet”, especially nowadays.  

What you will read and/or listen to on this web site are the correlation of 50 plus years of “real life” experience, investigation, and study that began in 1955. However, 1969 was the year I began to see things and people in a different light, sometimes called insight. 

However, 1982 was the year that I began to comprehend the “big picture” religiously and politically, secularly and spiritually, naturally and super-naturally, through another set of “eyes’, and with a different “mind”.  

Then in 1985 I was “shown”, via the aforementioned “key” word, and precept, the primary, combined basic reason as to why America was, and still is, in ever increasing BIG trouble. With each year that has passed since then, and on a daily basis, the pieces that form the picture puzzle, the “why” of my previously mentioned question, have been put into place. Today “The View Through the Windshield”, with regards to America’s future as a nation AND as a country, is not all that promising. Politically and religiously, and in more ways than one, Matthew 24 is knocking at the door of America’s “heart”.  

If you are a close minded individual, someone set in their ways with preconceived ideas and beliefs, someone who can only look at people and things from a narrow, subjective minded perspective, this particular web site is not for you. Additionally, if you are someone that is totally immersed in the tradition and doctrines of the institutionalized “Christian church”, this web site is definitely not “your cup of tea”, unless… 

If on the other hand, you are tired of “the same ole – same ole” rhetoric and diatribe with regards to politics and religion, consider yourself an open minded individual and would like a different perspective on politics and religion that is presented in a non-traditional manner through/using a unique method (Wordology), I invite you to check back here on a regular basis.  

Ben Franklin realized and concluded that, “Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become more corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.” As Franklin also once stated, I too echo his words for this day; “I have lived, Sir, a long time; and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth: that God governs in the affairs of men.” 

But then, this web site is not about me, but rather for you. Therefore, the longer you live, will you be able to realize the convincing proofs of this truth: “That God governs in the affairs of men?” That question is the reason for “The Bible Mechanic”, as is the following statement and quote. 

“The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg”
