My introductory comments on the article that follows:

Obamacare is not a "train wreck"—it is a TERRORIST ATTACK, just like when some jihadist drove a truck loaded with explosives into the army based in Lebanon(?) a few decades ago.  Allowing a nonAmerican Muslim to be at the head of our once-Christian nation is like putting Judas in charge of the U.S. finances (oh, wait a minute, we already did that) or putting the Muslim Brotherhood in charge of national security (oh, wait, we already did that) or like putting a sexual deviant in charge of the nations morals (oh, wait, we already did that)... in other words, "Everything is going perfectly according to plan."  Christ, the Personification of Wisdom said, "All those who wrong Me sin against their own soul; all those who hate Me love death."  The noose is getting tighter.  The Prodigal in the pig stye is finding fewer and fewer scraps and the swine are getting violent.  Repentance is our only salvation.  A full-blown communist dictatorship takeover is just around the corner; they already own just about everything and want every last bit, and then own us all as slaves, they have already swamped our nation, our ship of state, with the third world that breed and breed and commit crime, and the ship is going down.  Only those who have repented and turned to God to do what is right will experience safety and blessing in the land of Goshen (the secret place of the Most High, Psalm 91, reciting it does nothing if you are not living it--the center of God's Will in obedience).... while the plagues and wrath of God fall all around on the rest of Egypt.  Robert

Why Obamacare is a Fantastic Success

By Wayne Allyn Root

There are 2 major political parties in America. I’m a member of the naïve, stupid, and cowardly one. I’m a Republican. How stupid is the GOP? They still don’t get it. I told them 5 years ago, 2 books ago, a national bestseller ago (“The Ultimate Obama Survival Guide”), and in hundreds of articles and commentaries, that Obamacare was never meant to help America, or heal the sick, or lower healthcare costs, or lower the debt, or expand the economy.

The GOP needs to stop calling Obamacare a “trainwreck.” That means it’s a mistake, or accident. That means it’s a gigantic flop, or failure. It’s NOT. This is a brilliant, cynical, and purposeful attempt to damage the U.S. economy, kill jobs, and bring down capitalism. It’s not a failure, it’s Obama’s grand success. It’s not a “trainwreck,” Obamacare is a suicide attack. He wants to hurt us, to bring us to our knees, to capitulate- so we agree under duress to accept big government.

Obama’s hero and mentor was Saul Alinsky- a radical Marxist intent on destroying capitalism. Alinksky’s stated advice was to call the other guy “a terrorist” to hide your own intensions. To scream that the other guy is “ruining America,” while you are the one actually plotting the destruction of America. To claim again and again…in every sentence of every speech…that you are “saving the middle class,” while you are busy wiping out the middle class.

The GOP is so stupid they can’t see it. There are no mistakes here. This is a planned purposeful attack. The tell-tale sign isn’t the disastrous start to Obamacare. Or the devastating effect the new taxes are having on the economy. Or the death of full-time jobs. Or the overwhelming debt. Or the dramatic increases in health insurance rates. Or the 70% of doctors now thinking of retiring- bringing on a healthcare crisis of unimaginable proportions. Forget all that.

The real sign that this is a purposeful attack upon capitalism is how many Obama administration members and Democratic Congressmen are openly calling Tea Party Republicans and anyone who wants to stop Obamacare “terrorists.” There’s the clue. Even the clueless GOP should be able to see that. They are calling the reasonable people…the patriots…the people who believe in the Constitution…the people who believe exactly what the Founding Fathers believed…the people who want to take power away from corrupt politicians who have put America $17 trillion in debt…terrorists?

That’s because they are Saul Alinsky-ing the GOP. The people trying to purposely hurt America, capitalism and the middle class…are calling the patriots by a terrible name to fool, confuse and distract the public.

Obamacare is a raving, rollicking, fantastic success. Stop calling it a failure. Here is what it was created to do. It is succeeding on all counts.

#1) Obamacare was intended to bring about the Marxist dream- redistribution of wealth. Rich people, small business owners, and the middle class are being robbed, so that the money can be redistributed to poor people (who vote Democrat). Think about it. If you’re rich or middle class, you now have to pay for your own healthcare costs (at much higher rates) AND 40 million other people’s costs too (through massive tax increases). So you’re stuck paying for both bills. You are left broke. Brilliant.

#2) Obamacare was intended to wipe out the middle class and make them dependent on government. Think about it. Even Obama’s IRS predicts that health insurance for a typical American family by 2016 will be $20,000 per year. But how would middle class Americans pay that bill and have anything left for food or housing or living? People that make $40K, or $50K, or $60K can’t possibly hope to spend $20K on health insurance without becoming homeless. Bingo. That’s how you make middle class people dependent on government. That’s how you make everyone addicted to government checks. Brilliant.

#3) As a bonus, Obamacare is intended to kill every decent paying job in the economy, creating only crummy, crappy part-time jobs. Why? Just to make sure the middle class is trapped, with no way out. Just to make sure no one has the $20,000 per year to pay for health insurance, thereby guaranteeing they become wards of the state. Brilliant.

#4) Obamacare is intended to bankrupt small business, and therefore starve donations to the GOP. Think about it. Do you know a small business owner? I know hundreds of them. Their rates are being doubled, tripled and quadrupled by Obamacare. Guess who writes 75% of the checks to Republican candidates and conservative causes? Small business. Even if a small business owner manages to survive, he or she certainly can’t write a big check to the GOP anymore. Money is the “mother’s milk” of politics. Without donations, a political party ceases to exist. Bingo. That’s the point of Obamacare. Obama is bankrupting his political opposition and drying up donations to the GOP. Brilliant.

#5) Obamacare is intended to make the IRS all-powerful. It adds thousands of new IRS agents. It puts the IRS in charge of overseeing 15% of the U.S. economy. The IRS has the right because of Obamacare to snoop into every aspect of your life, to go into your bank accounts, to fine you, to frighten you, to intimidate you. And Obama and his socialist cabal have access to your deepest medical secrets. By law your doctor has to ask your sexual history. That information is now in the hands of Obama and the IRS to blackmail GOP candidates into either not running, or supporting bigger government, or leaking the info and ruining your campaign. Or have you forgotten the IRS harassed, intimidated and persecuted critics of Obama and conservative groups? Now Obama hands the IRS even more power. Big Brother rules our lives. Brilliant.

#6) Obamacare is intended to unionize 15 million healthcare workers. That produces $15 billion in new union dues. That money goes to fund Democratic candidates and socialist causes- thereby guaranteeing Obama’s friends never lose another election, and Obama’s policies keep ruining capitalism and bankrupting business owners long after he’s out of office.

Message to the GOP: This isn’t a game. This isn’t tiddly-winks. This is a serious, purposeful attempt to highjack America and destroy capitalism. This isn’t a trainwreck. It’s purposeful suicide. It’s not failing, it’s working exactly according to plan. Obama knows what he’s doing. Stop apologizing and start fighting.

Oh and one more thing…Conservatives aren’t “terrorists.” We are patriots and saviors. We represent the Constitution and the Founding Fathers. We are the heroes and good guys. Unless you get all this through your thick skulls, America is lost…forever.

My introductory comments on another news item:

How much did the inadequate Obamacare website cost the US taxpayers? 

$638 million dollars or so (and the "contract" went to a friend of Bichelle Omama's--is there no such thing any more as conflict of interests, nepotism, treason? $638 million for something that shouldn't have cost $1 million...? and no one does anything...?) Was that not a Harbinger of what is to come?  We are being     harpooned.  I thought some amendment did away with SLAVERY!         Anyone with a house or property ought to consider setting up a trust.  In the event of death, the trusteeship is transferred, whereas if you have a will, the corrupt gvt will try to steal as much as they can.  Also, if they should not be able to put a lien on something you are trustee of, and it may also make it easier to sell a house once more oppressive cap and trade (?) laws take effect that a house cannot be sold unless the entire house is retrofitted to code; you don't sell the house, you merely transfer trusteeship and "sell the trust."     Seems Obamacare is similar to cash-for-clunkers, that cost the taxpayers something like $26,000 per vehicle, and the fools who took the bait (wanting something for nothing by robbing his neighbor) ended up paying more because they still had to pay the tax on the new vehicle, ended up paying interest rates instead of owning their older car outright, and their insurance was raised much higher since the bank demands full insurance on "their" car which they let you drive until you pay off the loan.

Nothing is free; anyone stupid enough to believe it is an accomplice to some crime against someone else.  The only thing truly free is salvation through Christ Jesus--and even that is not free: It cost Christ His Life and God the Father the Life of His Son.  Robert

Is an Obamacare Bailout in the Works?

Dear  Sovereign Investor, Just when you thought the Obamacare roll-out couldn’t get any worse, we got this from Fox News this week:   

“There is a provision in the president’s signature legislation that provides reinsurance subsidies to insurance companies if they lose a certain amount in profits because their pool of policyholders is too heavily weighted toward the more-costly unhealthy or elderly people.”    

[is that how euthanasia is spelled?]    

Translation: If too many old and sick people sign up for Obamacare, American taxpayers will have to reimburse the insurance companies for lost profits.    

[Is that how double-charge, doubt-tax, double-fine, or double-jeopardy is spelled?]

    In fact, it’s been reported that in order to offset the cost of these older, sicker patients, the percentage of younger, healthier enrollees needs to be at least 38%. While the Obama administration has not been transparent in sharing enrollment stats so far, we do have data from one of the “successful” state exchanges in Kentucky … and it’s not good.     Only 19% of Obamacare enrollees in Kentucky are between the ages of 18 to 34, about half the percentage needed for the program to stand on its own. And those figures come from a state exchange that has not been saddled with the website woes of Healthcare.gov.     Unless a miracle happens and the young and healthy start flocking to Obamacare in droves, insurance companies will be legally entitled to a taxpayer bailout.    

Regards,     Jim Signorile   Managing Editor, The Sovereign Investor

-------------------------------------

Finally, one more thought

In one of the recent Obama-care horror stories, one person whose coverage was being cancelled said that Obama had promised that Obamacare would be "as cheap as your monthly phone bill."

This will be very easy for Obama to fix.

He will simply add an additional $1200/month taxes to your phone bill.

Don't bother to thank him, he knows you appreciate it.  Robert

God said if we obeyed His Laws we would be free of sickness.  Sickness is often a result of a spiritual problem (disobedience against God) and we reap what we sow.  In order to attempt to ROB GOD and circumvent the Law of the Harvest, instead of repenting, man tries to form alliances with the world (Egypt) to protect them against the chastening of God.  Insurance is against all-known Scriptural truth.  Homeowner's policies protect you against, "floods, fires, tornadoes and other acts of God."  Insurance to protect you from God.  Ye are servants to whom ye yield yourselves to obey.  The one you TRUST in, the ONE you SACRIFICE to, THE ONE YOU LOOK TO to SUPPLY your needs and heal you is your god.  Socialized health care is merely transferring people's religion and faith in doctors and insurance companies to the STATE.  This includes Christians; whether they realize it or not.  Christians man offer a prayer when they are injured or find out they have a disease--but in reality, they don't trust God, but the doctor and insurance company.  The government is a jealous god and wants all to worship them alone.  If Christians actually believe God and He is truly their God, they will obey His Law and trust in Him, and no go running to other gods to provide for their needs which shows they don't really trust God.  Either a Christian actually believes and trusts and obeys God, or he doesn't.  There is no "but..."  This is just like any other issue: self-defense, national-defense, working to provide needs, etc.  While we are commanded to trust God in each area, we are also commanded to be faithful and do what we can reasonably do to protect ourselves.  Scripture is clear about the right of self-defense, that criminals are to be punished, that there are causes for righteous war, that we are supposed to work 6 days a week; while at the same time trusting God to provide as we are faithful and obedient (draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you).  However, there are limits to what is considered "reasonable" in all these areas, and they themselves are dependent upon the commands in God's Word.  Obviously, it would not be proper to turn to prostitution to earn ones daily bread.  Clearly it is NOT right to make alliances with ANTICHRISTIAN or even SINFUL CHRISTIAN nations, to protect you against other nations, antichristian or christian.  God's Word is clear in the OT that God would have forgiven and delivered His people IF they had TURNED FROM their sin and TURNED TO HIM; but instead, they sought to make alliances with EGYPT (the world) to protect them from Assyria, who was GOD'S "SERVANT" to chasten His people to repentance.  BUYING INSURANCE is NOT reasonable and not within God's Law.  What our duty is, is to eat right, the foods God said we may eat, and in the right proportion,--LIVE FOOD, as much fresh and raw as possible, not processed, dead, pasteurized, lifeless, vitamin empty, fiber-depleted full of preservatives, carcinogenic colors and fake flavors and chemicals and all sorts of abominations, not meats shot full of antibiotics, chemicals, and poisons-- the healthy forms of food, not to abuse any food or drink that is lawful, not fill our bodies with toxins and poisons and radiation, exercise and breath fresh air and absorb direct sunlight, live in obedience to God--that is our obligation, and God will keep us healthy or if He allows sickness, it is for a purpose and we need to find out what that purpose is, rather than taking some magic pill and going on about our lives as if God is not really involved, in charge, or answerable to.

I challenge any Christian to show where insurance of any type is supported by Scripture.  Insurance, even driving insurance, serves to engender irresponsibility.  If people realized, if I drive careless and injure someone I AM RESPONSIBLE, most would drive more carefully.  Insurance is a buffer zone negating responsibility.  Unfortunately, the evil government made driving insurance mandatory, I never had it up until that point, and now only have the minimum required by law, which I don't like, but you cannot get license plates without it and thus cannot drive without fear of arrest, it is communism.  However, they cannot make me get health insurance.  They may try, but I will take a firm stand there.  I will not surrender my body to someone else to choose what is best for me and shoot me full of vaccinations and poison or radiation or whatever they think best.  My body is my body and the Temple of the Holy Spirit.  I have followed the dietary laws for the past 30 years and will not allow them to defile my body if they think their voodoo potions  are what is best for me (such as vaccines, being full of monkey pus, mercury, swine blood, etc.; and some pharma-drugs are little better, all poisonous, and all have deadly side effects, which, if they damage me, they then will not be responsible--I know one person who's liver was destroyed by prescribed medication, and he has suffered and been near death many times over the past several years; you can also do a web search on various drugs and vaccines and read about all the people whose lives have been destroyed by approved medications; often after the drug companies have made a few billion--most made from petroleum and making Rockefeller richer--they take the drug off the market before bodies start piling up).

Original email

“Is it just a coincidence that as the portion of our income spent on food has declined, spending on health care has soared? In 1960, Americans spent 17.5 percent of their income on food and 5.2 percent of national income on health care. Since then, those numbers have flipped: Spending on food has fallen to 9.9 percent, while spending on heath care has climbed to 16 percent of national income. I have to think that by spending a little more on healthier food we could reduce the amount we have to spend on health care.” ~ Michael Pollan

It's pretty crazy these days listening to all the talk about health care and what to do about it. It's causing a lot of fear and one I am well acquainted with. Do you ever wonder why your life takes certain paths and contains certain challenges? I do, and I was contemplating that this week as I listened to people debating on TV about health care.

My husband has his own business and we have always had to find our own health insurance. It caused us to do different things from those with health insurance paid by their employers. We had high deductibles to keep the cost down and staying healthy was of the utmost importance.

It caused us to do different things from those with health insurance paid by their employers. We had high deductibles to keep the cost down and staying healthy was of the utmost importance. We tried to not go to the doctor unless absolutely necessary. It felt like a challenge, but it made me strong and taught me things I would never have learned any other way. If we would get sick, I would try to understand the cause and look for a solution. Although at times challenging, I found an understanding of our bodies that has led me here. If I had only relied on doctors and their wisdom, I would have never sought my own understanding and guidance – and what a journey it has been for me. Don’t get me wrong, I think health insurance is important, but so many are ignoring these magnificent bodies we live in that are the best healing machines around. We have lost touch with this and now we medicate and cover up symptoms that are meant to help us and show us another way.

What if each and every one of us started paying attention to the foods we put in our mouths that make the cells of our bodies? Would your body change and behave better if it had better fuel? What if you ate living probiotic foods every day – foods that have billions of probiotics that help digest your food, make vitamins, heal and repair the damage in your gut, and make you feel alive inside? It would make such a difference and I know this because I see it every day, in emails and posts on my site. Sometimes I wish I could put out each and every letter so you could see what I see every day. People whose lives and bodies are healing. Not with drugs, but with food! I’m just one person but I am yelling as loud as I can and hoping that I can make a difference with my own life. All those years of struggle with sickness and disease only to find that the answers were within me. I could heal, and my body would help me. I was the captain of my own ship and master of my destiny. I had to work together with my body and help it steer the right course with the fuel I fed it.

heal your food allergies and digestion. I heard several more stories just this week of people whose severe food allergies are healing. They are now able to eat whole food groups that they couldn’t eat before. I see this all the time and it breaks my heart that so many don’t know how effective these cultured foods are. Each year that passes I have seen sickness affect younger and younger people, and I am hoping I can help make a difference. You can stand with me and change your life and take control of what seems impossible – the well being of your own body. It will send out a light to to others and they will start to believe it, too. It’s not as hard as you think. I started with one food, kefir, and it changed everything. I just started changing one food at a time. I have a lot of confidence in my body now. It guides me and nobody shall ever talk bad about it to me. It is the best friend I have and it sees me through each and every day; and when I am good to it, well – it shines for me. I am thankful to be living in this body that once made me so sick that it got my attention and I changed. Now we are a team and it carries me through this life with incredible joy and wellness. I want this for you, too, and together we can take health care seriously by taking care of our health.

Also, I believe a nurse said this at a medical party, delivering it as standup, but serious about it; some emails have attributed it to Donald Trump, but I don't believe that is true:

"Let me get this straight....  We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, who have recently demonstrated their objective and professional integrity; written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it,  passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a Dumbo President who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, Fannie Mae Freddy Mac and the Post Office, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!!   What the hell could possibly go wrong?"'

Psychology 101 for Monkeys-Uncles: Psycho-Bananology

If you start with a cage containing five monkeys and inside the cage, hang a banana on a string from the top and then you place a set of stairs under the banana, before long a monkey will go to the stairs and climb toward the banana.  As soon as he touches the stairs, you spray all the other monkeys with cold water.

After a while another monkey makes an attempt with same result ...  all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. 

Pretty soon when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it. 

Now, put the cold water away.

Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one.  The new monkey sees the banana and attempts to climb the stairs.  To his shock, all of the other monkeys beat the crap out of him.  After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs he will be assaulted.

Next, remove another of the original five monkeys, replacing it with a new one.  The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked.  The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment......  with enthusiasm, because he is now part of the "team".

Then, replace a third original monkey with a new one, followed by the fourth, then the fifth. 

Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs, he is attacked.

Now, the monkeys that are beating him up have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs..  Neither do they know why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey.

Finally, having replaced all of the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys will have ever been sprayed with  cold water.  Nevertheless, not one of the monkeys will try to climb the stairway for the banana.

Why, you ask?  Because in their minds...that is the way it has always been!

This, my friends, is how Congress operates...  and this is why, from time to time:

ALL of the monkeys need to be REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME.

[Or all the monkeys need to be locked in the cage and the key thrown away.  Or a lion placed in the adjoining cage.]

Also, Ronald Reagan said,

"Politicians are like babies' diapers, they need to be changed frequently—and for the same reason."

This also explains how the average person defends an ideology, an idea, a version of history, a doctrine—without even knowing why, not even being able to prove it true.  Some call it Education, it is brainwashing, classical conditioning, indoctrination, even subtle forms of hypnosis or subliminal suggestion.  It can be used for good or evil.  That is why Scripture says,

"Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey." (Romans 6:16)

If it is not guns it will be knives, if not knives, icepicks or sticks or baseball bats.  If you take away every single weapon then of course bigger bullies will rule not merely the playground and lunchroom, but all society, and we will be in a Police State in which no one is protected from the bullies, but only victimized by both directions.

The US has historically had a multitude of guns.  Guns are not the problem.  We had no problem with these shootings until the recent era. CLEARLY something else is the problem.  Taking prayer and the Bible and morality out of the schools and all public life.  Teaching that perversion and immorality and sin is perfectly normal.  Screwing kids minds up with evolution, homo-agenda, rebellions to parents and God (but not the All-Powerful Almighty-State).  The PLETHORA of kids (and adults) on psychotropic drugs that cause aggression.  Video games and violent movies.  The importation of foreigners and foreign gods.  The government robbing the people more and more and thus putting greater strain on each household to then become more dysfunctional.  Not punishing criminals, but warehousing them and having very little incentive to prevent real crime (real criminals don't care) but terrorizing decent Americans who will be paranoid not to even step on a crack in the sidewalk, because last thing on earth he wants is to go to prison where the REAL criminals are warehoused, who will beat him up and make him their sex slave.

Obama clearly reveals his plan to make the US a socialist state.  Before we let them take away our guns, each person should read about the mass murders (MILLIONS) when the communists took over in Russia and eastern Europe and in China... and then the depression the whole nation was cast into as the corrupt politicians stole everything while the common people lived in the cold and the dirt, and anyone who said anything about it quietly disappeared in the night.

Is arming the teachers really the answer?  What teacher wants to be the one who shoots a 12-year old?  What repercussions would there be?  Vigilante parent's taking revenge, friends.  Put more police in each school.  Is that really the answer?  It is for the government who wants a police state.  THERE WERE NO POLICE in my school.  NO METAL DETECTORS.  NO DRUG SNIFFING DOGS.  I went to a Christian school in N. Miami Florida.  Gosh, do you think maybe the BIBLE has anything to do with MORAL LIVING and a HEALTHY SOCIETY?  Of course, the school I went to now is nearly 100% black and cuban (which I was shocked to see when I visited their website recently... I thought I got the webpage of a school in Nairobi by mistake).  Tell me crime and violence has not increased there since I went to school.  Have overall school academic scores dropped?

What 12-year old goes off and wants to kill others and then kills himself?  even if he was being bullied.  I would lay money on the fact he was on psychiatric drugs.  The parents who owned the gun (if they did) should not face charges, but the doctor who put this kid on mind and mood altering drugs.  The news calls him a "12-year old GUNMAN."  That is brainwashing in the media.  He was a GUNBOY.  Outlaw guns and there will be KNIFE and SWORD and RAZOR BLADE and BASEBALL BAT and MACHETE attacks in the news (that is, if they would honestly report the news, which they don't so anyone who wants to know will have to check the internet, which of course they want to shut down so people can't really know what is going on and communicate with each other and eventually rise up when tyranny is unleashed). They have not yet released the name of the shooter... why not?  out of "respect" for the parents.  Respect for what? is not releasing the name for a day or two going to bring him back or undo the crime?  Are they out walking in public carrying on their daily routine?  Surely others in the school and neighborhood know the shooter, so why no no name or picture?  Why is the government all of the sudden "SO SENSITIVE"....? THAT is a real head scratcher.  And the media at times is still calling the dead shooter the "SUSPECT"  REALLY?  The 2 kids that were shot and the rest of the students that were terrorized can't say, "yeah, the kid that shot himself and is dead over there, he did it." 

Nevada governor chimed in being saddened about the "HORRIFIC shooting".  Are the American people so stupid they don't see brainwashing?  WHAT SHOOTING IS NOT HORRIFIC?  Have you EVER heard a news story, "We had a REALLY NICE shooting today at the elementary school."  They are using trigger words as hot buttons to program the STUPID POPULACE EVER FARTHER. 

Chicago has something like 2 gun murders a day.  The government murders people in secret assassinations and starts wars killing thousands and up to hundreds of thousands.  The amount of people killed by government far outnumber civilian murders by about 100,000 to 1.  Military weapons are not the problem.  Weapons can't shoot themselves.  POLITICIANS are the murderers.. POLITICIANS are the problem.  OUTLAW POLITICIANS.  REQUIRE POLITICIANS to be licensed and locked up in a safe when not being used.  LOCK UP DOCTORS who prescribe mind and mood altering drugs for children or ANYONE roaming free in society.  Medications often cause FAR MORE problems than the ones they are supposed to cure.  Medications wear off or a person's body builds up a threshhold to where they are no longer effective.  For medicine to wear off while the person is in public is like having Bruce Banner walking around who can turn into the INCREDIBLE HULK at any moment.  Even IF medications work, they ONLY work if people take them when they are supposed to, and sometimes other medications or even food can inhibit the effect or cause bad side effects.  Having people walking around in public whose medication can just wear off or go haywire is like having people walking around with handgrenades in their coat pockets or purses with loose pins.  WOULD THAT make sense?  People who need mental medication should not be in public.  Doctors who prescribe such, and politicians who have allowed it, are irresponsible and they are to blame.

ALMOST ANY shooting is tragic.  Taking away the guns is a COMMUNIST BAND-AID and isn't intended to stop crime.  It is a stepping stone.  People need to wake up, don't they see in cases like the Boston marathon and other cities that have armed military vehicles and troops taking over...?  what happens when no citizens (except inner-city criminals) have weapons...? POLICE STATE.  Once the weapons are gone, the government will say, "we are suspending elections, they waste too much money, we are all doing such a fine job, we will not longer have elections, but the top government officials will appoint all positions... the government is confiscating all food and water sources, and all land and property... travel will be restricted to your officially designated work place and back unless you have obtained a permit for extra travel.  Vitamins are outlawed, your doctor will tell you what you need."

WAKE UP PEOPLE.  TURN OFF THE TV, stop going to the movies, STOP WATCHING millionaire, drug-using, whore-mongering, violent criminal monkeys play ball...!  HOW does that glorify God...?  WHO are you supporting when you do such?  The commercialized slogan "WWJD" (What Would Jesus Do) applies in everything we do.  Would you take Jesus (or even Moses) to a ball game to watch a bunch of immoral degenerates play with a ball, and YOU pay their salaries and so you engage in their evil.  Would Jesus spend $20 for a big styrofoam finger to cheer his favorite immoral black athlete?  Our nation is being subverted while everyone is lost in mindless entertainment and leisure and amusement.  Stop partying on the deck of the Titanic that is headed in the fog for Niagara.  Our Founding Fathers and the Puritans, Pilgrims, and Reformers never engaged in such.  What are we learning, producing, DOING?

This shooting seems highly unlikely to have been a psy-op incident... casualties were too low.  But I imagine prescribed psychotropic drugs were involved; though not necessarily the case, the majority usually are.

The problems is God being removed from society.

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to Me: seeing thou hast forgotten the Law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.” (Hosea 4:6)

The problem is PARENTS not teaching their children THE BIBLE and RIGHT FROM WRONG and letting the STATE public schools and TV and movies and other playmates raise their children.

The woman shot dead by police was using her car... and no one really knows what she planned to do with the car, or if she was on psychotropic drugs too.  Are all cars going to be outlawed?

A STUPID cop here in Mountain city took 3 shots at a squirrel inside a dollar store... DOES THE IDIOT not realize that whether he hit the squirrel or not, the bullets would be hitting things before they stopped?  What damage did that cause.  I am more concerned with a stupid cop having a gun or an entire hit squad marine-type, brainwashed killing machines with no morals or conscience, who hide their identity under ski masks and desensitized by group dynamics of "US" verses them and we all are a TEAM with the same SWAT written on our bullet proof vests and THEY are all the enemy.  I am more concerned with doctors prescribing mind and mood altering POISON as if they were handing out HALLOWEEN candy (and there is a very close relation with the evil spirits and witchcraft involved in both).

Guns are not the problem.  Foreigners and godlessness and corrupt government is the problem.  Take a look at those photos that circulate around the internet about what Chicago or Philadelphia or Detroit or Johannesburg looked like in 1940 and now today.  Guns did not do that.  Antichrist foreigners did and antichrist zionist politicians are the ones who imported and incubated and bred the problem into the epidemic it now is--and they make no pretense that they plan on doing the same thing to Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Lithuania.  Yes, it is such wonderful progress... just take the happy pill we give you and let us do this to your nation.  HOW on EARTH can people not see...?  Because we have as a peopled turned from God's Ways and God has allowed the enemy among us to become the head and we the tail.  The solution is not to try to chop off the head.  The solution is not to be content being the tail (or the orifice under the tail).  The solution is to repent before God and stop the perpetual Mardis Gras, turning a blind eye to immorality, supporting it, and carrying on with leisure and amusement pretending everything is fine.  When Jeremiah warned God's people that Babylon was going to conquer them... the evil-hearted nobles and corrupt priests got MAD AT JEREMIAH and even beat him, threw him in a mud pit, wanted to kill him, accused him of sedition... ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS REPENT and God would have delivered.... but the corrupt princes and priests (the politicians and false prophets of the day) did NOT WANT God's deliverance, because that would mean their lucrative racket would have come to an end and they would have had to get a regular old job and be content with being a common person, not a wealthy ruling elite.  THE PEOPLE need to repent and GOD will see that the politicians get what they deserve--WITH the interest they so love.  BUT ONLY when God's people finally, like the Prodigal, face down in the pig stye, fighting swine for scraps of rotten food, realize and declare "ENOUGH!  I AM TO BLAME.  I have sinned against God.  I CAUSED all this.  I SQUANDERED my inheritance in riotous living and am now paying for it. I will arise and return to my father and beg forgiveness, knowing I am utterly unworthy, and fall upon his mercy and grace."

[Pentagon spent $5.5 billion hours before the "shutdown"... I guess the Congressional bartender shouted, "Last call" and rung the bell...

The "shut down" is a myth and a scam.]

If the politicians "go home" in a "government shutdown" all that means is that they are on a "paid vacation" since they are paid annually, not weekly, it merely means they are robbing the people by not working for a salary they already collected; however, if they are on vacation, I guess that is less damage that they can do; but still theft.  The U.S. would be better off if on the first day of the year, the politicians cashed their paycheck and went on vacation for a year... of course, those on welfare would not like that, or those who work government jobs, but everyone else would do just fine... so why do those other people (parasites) even exist...?  Even if the police powers ceased to be, things would be a little rocky at first, but eventually criminals would be shot dead and the average brainwashed citizen would realize the importance of the second amendment.  There would be no need for a 10-year trial and housing a criminal for $50,000 a year, the salary of the judge and all the court, and all the police... some piece of refuse tries to mug, rape, murder, home invade, with the government shut down, individuals would have to defend themselves and if an assailant is shot dead, problem solved and for the price of a bullet or two.  Sounds brutal, but it is far less brutal than ALL SOCIETY having to suffer.  When someone chooses to violate someone else's life and rights, he forfeits his own.  Like I said, it would be rocky at first, but the criminals would soon become extinct once the people starting doing what needs to be done.  Unstable, trigger happy people would not live long.  Yes, they would cause some mayhem before they were put 6 feet under, BUT THEY ALREADY DO...!  People in their delusion are just sheltered from it.  Don't they read the news?  These inhuman creatures are breeding and increasing in numbers.  It will all come to a head eventually.  It will not be pretty when it does.  It is not pretty now, but people choose to look the other way and pretend it does not exist.  A PERMANENT government shut down would create a big mess to start with, but it would soon stabilize and be 5,000x better.  Jefferson said, "No government is better than bad government."

This shutdown is a game the politicians play, they think it is fun, it let's them flex their power, they themselves don't suffer a bit and get an extra vacation, they then make themselves look like heroes when they "find" a solution; they are no different than a firefighter who purposely sets fires to then be the hero that puts the fire out.  In the 1st story below, the author has some good points but is kind of ignorant.  He refers to the US as a wealthy country that can afford to pay these prison workers... However, in his ignorance, I guess he does not realize that "wealthy countries" are not $14 TRILLION in debt.  Wealth is not the ability to print more fake "Monopoly money."  Yes the nation is rich in national resources, but they are all in the hands of the government or the wealthy elite, so that really renders it nonexistent in terms of the benefit to the nation, making it a "wealthy nation."  "Wealthy nations" don't have more people on welfare and the government payroll than those who actually work for a living.  Such are not wealthy nations, they are despotic states.  Despotic states print more fake money when they want it for themselves, but choose not to print it for the common people who are allowed to suffer until they come begging, being reminded who the boss is. 

It's pretty funny in an insulting way --and that is the intent-- in Wisconsin, Federal prison guards have to show up to work and will not receive their paychecks (until the "super-politicians" come to save the day) BUT PRISONERS/Housed criminals (now called by the euphemism "inmates") who do prison work are still paid.  Just another way the politicians insult and screw over the people; it is the prison guards and others like them, who pay taxes that provide for the salaries of the politicians--who then cancel the prison guards paychecks.  It is slavery.  They just continue to desensitize people about it more and more each day, and people are so ignorant they don't even realize it, like the frog in the boiling pot of water.  Like a new restaurant that opens and serves great meals, then when they get a good base of regular customers, they begin to lower the quality of the food and everything else to make more money... until they run themselves out of business, stupid parasites that they are (but in all fairness, part of the problem is over-taxation, over-regulation, "Health" inspections, etc., that make operating a restaurant so expensive, then rising food costs, restaurants either have to raise prices or lower portion size or lower quality).  Like in that previous email that the govt spent something like $35,000 for a single outhouse in Alaska.  That is the govt elite rubbing the people's noses in it.  And the people take it, so all they can expect is more of the same, while the nation is dismantled, sold off to the highest bidder, and the politicians abscond with all the money.  The nation is creeping toward socialism and people don't even realize it... it is blatant in Obamacare and I can't believe the doctors themselves are willing to put up with it.  All doctors to be paid the same wage—regardless of speciality, how many years they went to medical school for specialties, whether they went to a prestigious expensive medical school or got their M.D. out of a box of Cracker Jack, whether they have an elite Hollywood, California plastic surgery clinic or a free health care clinic in the Bronx.... if all doctors will be paid the same wage, how will the elite wealthy doctors be able to afford their mansions and expensive cars, vacations... clearly, there must be all sorts of loopholes, such as in George Orwell's Animal Farm, in which it is declared, "all animals are equal" (but pigs are "a little more than" equal)... just like the Politicians exempt themselves from Social Security and Odamna-care with their own top of the line, state of the art, first class pension and health care.  It is a communist dictatorship with the elite dictators living like kings and the common people living in the dirt.  There is nothing wrong with wealth, but there is something terribly wrong with earning it immorally.  Wealthy people have no responsibility to share their wealth with anyone less fortunate; charity, altruism, benevolence, is voluntary—but wealthy people DO have a RESPONSIBILITY not to step all over, abuse, rob, and murder other people in their quest for their own wealth.

In reality, modern capitalism under the auspices of "democracy" in reality is communism; it is just a different degree and called by a different name and explained in a different manner. 

Under communism, the state tells you that you are a slave, tells you what your job is, forces you to work, and then tells you, "we will give you this much for your work."

Under despotic (communistic) capitalism (under the unconstitutional delusion of "democracy") the state tells you that you are free (happy slaves produce better) and let you choose your own job, but then tells you, "You owe us this much from what you have produced" (and the amount "owed" increases and increases, as does the cost of everything in a MANIPULATED "free market", so the amount you keep is less and less and does not buy half of what it used to.

The two are really the same thing; a difference only of degrees... the change from freedom to tyranny has been slow so only the older people truly remember what freedom really was; though "freedom" has been taxed and sliced up like a party pizza, and watered down, to only being 5% freedom, but that's all the average person knows, having been raised in the public schools or government controlled "private" institutions, from childhood, and taught to be a part of the system, obey the government, this is freedom, buy now, pay later, trust us.

This strong-arm tactic of the despots works most of the time, but if they misjudge it, that's what start's revolutions.  "Let them eat cake."  While that (disaffected, self-indulgent nobility) is not really what started the so-called French Revolution, it is what modern U.S. politicians have moulded themselves into being: spoiled aristocrats, most of whom have no honorable heritage and are trash; self-appointed dictators and their cronies and henchmen in a banana republic.  Scripture says you reap what you sow and those who live by the sword shall die by the sword. Hopefully the harvest is coming soon.  They deserve a bumper crop.

the purpose of corrupt government is total control.  DECADES of irresponsibility, banks giving credit cards, companies pushing "buy now pay later" and the foolish average American is so caught up in the "upside" part of the American Dream (which is in reality a neurosis) and they are so completely in denial, they do not even think about what happens when the economy fails and they lose their job one way or the other; everything they own is bought on time, and should the inflow of cash stop, they stand to lose everything... and then feel like a person who has survived a shipwreck, who tries to grab individual pieces of flotsam (imagine a few dozen empty plastic soda bottles) to try and form a raft but he has nothing to tie it all together and all his energies are spent trying to hold it all together that he really spends no time resting and he is by no means safe or out of the water.  THAT is the purpose of the government teaching people from the earliest age to be irresponsible--because it is the easiest method to control everyone... enormous debt and everything bought on time makes for a subservient slave.  If people do lose everything, I really cannot feel sympathy for them... they lived in the fast lane, they enjoyed the ride, when the ride ends, what do you expect?  To feed an insatiable lust for whatever one wants immediately--well, they chose to prostitute themselves for the illusion of prosperity and the illusion of wealth and the illusion of ownership.... they took expensive vacations and wasted money instead of doing without and saving up to actually own something they can afford... so when the illusion ends, they are left with nothing but memories... but that was their choice... true, they were purposely programmed to think that way, but they still had a brain and they still chose to be irresponsible... and people still expect if they have some terrible accident or disease that the government or everyone else is supposed to pay for it.  Where in the Bible, the Common Law, or the Constitution is that found... I'm sorry, I can't find it.  Bible Law and Natural Law is all that exists and choosing to continue in a psychotic delusion (which is a choice) does not change reality: You reap what you sow; what goes up must come down; nothing is free; everything has to be earned, worked for, or paid for by someone.  To expect others to pay for your irresponsibility or health care or anything else, is immoral.  People need to wake up and become responsible themselves, and then demand all politicians likewise be responsible and if not they will be held 100% accountable and face civil as well as criminal charges.  To print fake money in the private sector is illegal, it is illegal in the government sector.  To take a paycheck but not accomplish what you were hired to do is illegal in the private sector, and it is illegal in the government sector too.  To spend more money than you have or earn is illegal in the private sector, and it is illegal in the government sector too.   Politicians are to be held to a HIGHER standard because they hold a public TRUST.  They are not our LORDS, but our SERVANTS and if they try to reverse the roles and act like the master, they should have all their wealth confiscated and be put in prison at hard labor and if they will not work, they can starve to death or be executed... that's the Biblical method for solving crime... in the private sector or the government sector.  Politicians are the biggest crooks, they are guilty of 1,000 Enron's and get away with it year after year.  Politicians are the biggest murderers, they vote to send our citizens over to murder citizens of other nations and be murdered themselves.  WHENEVER there is ANY war, the sons and daughters of the POLITICIANS should be put on the FRONT LINE... when ever the government is out of money, the POLITICIANS' salaries, perks, benefits, pensions, health care, etc., should be the first thing cut.  There should be no perks or benefits or pensions or healthcare for politicians and their paychecks should be only the average American wage.  If they don't like it, get a real job.  Politicians are supposed to SERVE THE PEOPLE, NOT THEMSELVES, and they should serve and not steal.

If all government truly shut down, it would be a blessing.  THE ONLY people who would not be happy would be those on welfare and those with government jobs (which is over half the nation).  If that half of the nation disappeared over night, no one would miss them.  If the other half disappeared (the producers) the other half would die.  That is the basic scenario in the fantastic Ayn Rand novel, Atlas Shrugged, which I highly recommend (and which I stock).  Gripping read, prophetic, powerful (though utterly secular and godless, it at least pinpoints the problem).

Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand, (35th Anniversary edition) 1075pp., mass market pb. (Signet) 9.00 + P&H; 1168pp., quality pb. (Plume) 20.00 (reg. 22.00) + P&H; 1192pp., Hb. (Dutton) 35.00 (reg. 40.00) + P&H.]  Rand was Rothschild’s mistress and had some inside information.  Atlas Shrugged is one of the most powerful books I have ever read, she excells in the development of the characters, which you can almost see in your mind.  Atlas Shrugged is a riveting prophetic/pop philosophy novel about the Welfare State at its end when the producers rebel and refuse to support the world on the world’s terms.

* The federal government recently spent $98,670 to construct a single outhouse in Alaska. CNS News

"... perhaps now is a good time for the American people to evaluate whether or not they actually need a gigantic federal government that wastes enormous mountains of our money ... It is about time that Washington D.C. started experiencing some of the "belt-tightening" that the rest of the country has been going through. For far too long, the fatcats in D.C. have been living in an alternate reality where they have been able to live the high life at our expense."

Canadian editorial humor directed at US

Canadian's Version of David Letterman's Top 10 This is Canada’s Top Ten List of America’s Stupidity.

10) Only in America...could politicians talk about the greed of the rich at a $35,000.00 a plate campaign fund-raising event.

9) Only in America...could people claim that the government still discriminates against black Americans when they have a black President, a black Attorney General and roughly 20% of the federal workforce is black while only 14% of the population is black. 40% of all federal entitlements go to black Americans 3X the rate that go to whites, 5X the rate that go to Hispanics!

8) Only in America...could they have had the two people most responsible for the tax code, Timothy Geithner (the head of the Treasury Department) and Charles Rangel (who once ran the Ways and Means Committee), BOTH turn out to be tax cheats who are in favor of higher taxes.

7) Only in America...can they have terrorists kill people in the name of Allah and have the media primarily react by fretting that Muslims might be harmed by the backlash.

6) Only in America...would they make people who want to legally become American citizens wait for years in their home countries and pay tens of thousands of dollars for the privilege, while they discuss letting anyone who sneaks into the country illegally just 'magically' become American citizens.

5) Only in America...could the people who believe in balancing the budget and sticking by the country's Constitution be thought of as "extremists."

4) Only in America...could you need to present a driver's license to cash a check or buy alcohol, but not to vote.

3) Only in America...could people demand the government investigate whether oil companies are gouging the public because the price of gas went up when the return on equity invested in a major U.S. oil company (Marathon Oil) is less than half of a company making tennis shoes (Nike).

2) Only in America...could the government collect more tax dollars from the people than any nation in recorded history, still spend a Trillion dollars more than it has per year - for total spending of $7-Million PER MINUTE, and complain that it doesn't have nearly enough money.

1) Only in America...could the rich people - who pay 86% of all income taxes - be accused of not paying their "fair share" by people who don't pay any income taxes at all.

A recent email also shared:

I saw the below quote on the internet, someone's comment to other people's comments on some story or other

"Heated debates on the internet are like the Paralympics: even if you win, you are still retarded."

my comments:

blunt, but often true nonetheless: (He that hath ears to hear, let him hear...)

Some truth is in there for us all.

IF anyone engages in a debate in a public forum, first of all and foremost, he should remember he represents Christ (and if a Christian does not represent Christ, then he is renegade and functions as antichrist and has a fool for a client).

Scripture says:

Answer NOT a fool according to his folly lest you become like him

but also

ANSWER a fool according to his folly lest he be wise in his own eyes.

How can we tell which to apply...?

Both.

Answer not a fool in the same manner, becoming like him, arguing about things that cannot be proven as if you are omniscient and "KNOW" things that cannot possibly be known. Most everything we think we know and can "prove" we cannot; we have evidence; anyone who thinks differently is still in the mere infancy of intelligence.

Most ALL science is built on assumptions. Contrary to what most people think, Science is not "hard" (ie, static, fixed) and there very few true scientific laws. Aristotelian science succumbed to Galileon, which passed to Newtonian, which passed to so called Einsteinian, which itself is being replaced. What people consider scientific law is not law, it is a temporary approximation, a working model, but not Law.

[See Gordon Clark's excellent, brief book, The Philosophy of Science and Belief in God (inquire).

The entire house of cards of evolution is based on bad science and bad religion and falsehood, dazzling the average person with a lot of "information" passed off as truth.

Answer a fool according to his folly if it seems he is open to considering anything that is other than the way he wants things to be... answer a fool according to his folly (not being foolish yourself, but being wise, mature, respectful, logical, representing Christ) for the sake of others who are on the sidelines, and remember that HOW you say something and your deportment and testimony is often just as powerful, if not more so, than what you actually say.

Answer not a fool according to his folly if he mind is as permanently shut tighter than Fort Knox (and equally devoid of any value) because for you to be able to force an intelligent thought into his mind would be just as vain as trying to push a grape through an anvil.

Answer not a fool according to his folly, if your motivation is to prove yourself right.

A few words of truth may eventually germinate and take root (bathed in prayer and trusting in the Agency of the Holy Spirit); but debate with a fool is like struggling in quicksand. Speak your peace to honor God, gracefully bow out and extricate yourself; spinning your tires will only entrench you deeper and cause you to wallow in the mire with him, and will poorly reflect Christ.

I Corinthians 10:31: "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." Colossians 4:6: "Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man."

Titus 27,8: "In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine showing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you."

Ephesians 4: "29Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. 30And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. 31Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: 32And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you."

I Corinthians 8:2: "And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know."

Proverbs 12:15: "The way of a fool is right in his own eyes..."

II Timothy 2: "24And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will."

Colossians 1: "18And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. 19For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; 20And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. 21And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled 22In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: 23If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard..."

Ecclesiastes 12:14: "For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil."

May God turn again wholly the hearts of His people (this means you and me, each of us needs to look into our own heart in relation to the whole Word of God and ask the Holy Spirit to convict us of any area in which we are in sin, ignorant or otherwise) back to Him.... that we may repent... that He may then return to deliver us and take vengeance upon those that hate Him and the only true morality that He established, which never changes.  Each and every one of us needs to DAILY search our own hearts and ask the Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth and convict us of any sin. 

As righteous as Nehemiah was, he confessed his own sins, those of his own family and ancestors, and those of the people as a whole, and admitted he and his family had contributed to the sins of the nation.  Anyone who will not do this is delusional, diefies himself, and is a major part of the problem, not part of the solution. 

As the old saying goes, "It is not as hard to get people saved as it is to get them unsaved"—that is, get them to realize that they are indeed sinners in need of salvation.  Most Christians (even as most nonChristians) think of themselves as "good" and everyone else as a sinner (if they even believe in sin). 

As I have expressed in several books, though a bit crude and humorous, it gets the point across: "Most people, Christians included, think they fart cotton candy" (but that everyone else's gas is foul).  The sin of each and every one of us is an affront to a Holy God and we are all contributors to the national woe.  Even as our nation languishes in immorality and political corruption because each person thinks, "I am just one person, what little can the good I do, change anything"—and if 50 million people stopped believing that Satanic lie, we would not be in the mess we are in nationally (in each of our once-Christian nations)—so also, each true Christian needs to look into his own heart and admit it aint a pretty sight, and that each of us daily sins against God, in many ways; including many ways in which the majority of Christians are utterly ignorant, believing the antichrist lie that God abolished His Law—that God abolished His Standard of Morality by which He commands us to live. 

Judgment begins in the HOUSE OF GOD (I Peter 4:17).  WHY...?  —because we are most responsible.  Moral, refined, intelligent people who know what God expects, are MORE responsible than a bunch of uncivilized savages (which is what they are regardless of where they live or whether they wear clothes or not).  A Father disciplines his own children first, before dealing with the immoral neighbors or packs of dogs ripping open the bags of garbage at the curb. 

God used this very method (of dealing with His own first) in the Old Testament, even as He tells us in the New.  A father chastens his own children; not bastards, not the neighbors' children.  Chastening is not "punishment."  Chastening is discipline and remedial in nature.  Punishment is punitive and terminal.  If the local judge's children have been running around with the neighborhood refuse, vandalizing, robbing, intimidating, assaulting, the judge (if he is moral) will deal

God will punish those who are not His children.  But first, He will discipline His own.  How could one claim to be holy if he ignored the sins of his own family, while being self-righteous and condemning those outside the family who are LESS responsible.  To whom much is given so also much shall be required.  In the OT before Judah was conquered, God followed the same prescription: disciplining His own FIRST:

Jeremiah 25
4And the LORD hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear. 5They said, Turn ye again now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD hath given unto you and to your fathers for ever and ever: 6And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no hurt. 7Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the LORD; that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt.  8Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words, 9Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations. 10Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle. 11And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. 12And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations. 13And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations. 14For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands.

Ecclesiastes 12

13Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 14For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

We are told to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.  This does not mean we should pray blessings upon the wicked imposters there living.  Jerusalem represents the seat of God's ruling authority on earth.  The only way there can be peace in Jerusalem (God's legitimate people and authority) or anywhere on earth, is if the PRINCE of Peace rules there and the Bridegroom will not return to deliver to His bride the Kingdom, as long as she is running around immorally, refusing to submit herself to His Rule.  Until then, like the Progidal, she, we, God's people must reap what we sow, living face down in the pig sty until we come to our senses and realize, "this isn't life, this is shameful" and repent and cry out to Him, and then Christ will return to put down all illegitimate rule and destroy the wicked and establish the Millennial Kingdom here on earth.  Those who will not submit to God's Law, which is what will be established in the Kingdom, will not be given the Kingdom until they realize the error of their own ways, and the error of foolishness of their forefathers who millennia ago insulted God and declared, "Give us a king" and "we would not that this man (Christ) should rule over us." 

Until GOD'S PEOPLE --each and every of us-- humble ourselves, confess our sins, and the sins of all  of God's people, and cry out for Mercy, that God pour down His Holy Spirit upon ALL OF US, as upon a dry and thirsty ground... to convicted each of us of our sin, to deliver each of us from our false doctrine, carnality, foolishness, sinfulness, hard hearts, delusions--and not merely enlighten us by His Holy Spirit to KNOW what is right, which did Solomon little good, but that He also gives us a HEART and MIND and WILL and EMPOWERS US to DO what is right--as the ONLY option...

[What Solomon should have asked for was "the Power of Thy Spirit" for to know what is right is useless without the will to do it.  Solomon had only asked for wisdom, to properly rule God's people; God gave him wisdom, but also wealth and fame... and sadly, the wealth and fame overrode the wisdom and Solomon himself became oppressive and took sin to an entirely new level and his heart itself was turned from God.]

until each and every one of us prays this sincerely to God many times a day (whenever we see immorality, pain, injustice, suffering, corruption)... then each day that we do not we choose death... we choose to continue in this filthly, immoral, rotten, perverted world... we choose to remain face down in the feces and urine in the pig sty. 

Ignorance is a choice.  Sin is a choice.  Deliverance is a breath away if it is in ones heart to so breathe... and if it is not, then all a person should do until it is in his heart, is to pray continually and do nothing else.  It is not a matter of winning the lottery, where we can just continue on with our "fake life" until we hit it; it is a matter of LIFE AND DEATH, our people being brutalized and murdered all over the globe--we must lay hold to the horns of the altar and cry out as did Jacob, "I cannot let thee go except thou bless me."  And if we do not, then we don't really care... not about ourselves, not about others, we are just deluding ourselves. 

Christ, the personification of wisdom, declared in Proverbs 8:36: "But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death." 

God Himself also admonished and counselled us: Deuteronomy 30:19: "I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: 20That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them."

Those AGAINST obaminable care (according to the below article, after my lengthy introductory) are 64 to 69%.

Clearly, the majority of the other 31-36% are those on welfare or government employees (or other immoral people who think their standard of living should be paid for by someone else).

THOSE ON WELFARE OR THE GOVERNMENT PAYROLL should NOT be allowed to vote in such matters. 

As George Bernard Shaw said, "Those who rob Peter to pay Paul can always count on (the support of) Paul." 

It is COMMUNISM...  IT IS THEFT...  IT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL....  IT IS IMMORAL... IT IS TYRANNY... to rob the people of money (under the euphemism "taxation") and then give that money or services to ANYONE other than those very people themselves.  THE ONLY legitimate taxation is for things which by their nature the people cannot individually procure for themselves (such as the nation's highways) and the only legitimate use of taxpayer money/public funds is for such services for those very people themselves.  US citizens should not pay to see OUR OWN national monuments, and we should not have to stand in hour-long lines with foreigners.  There should be 2 lines: citizens and foreigners.  Citizens go in first, for free.  Foreigners are admitted after the citizens are first admitted, and the foreigners should be the ones charged the fee.  The dogs eat from the crumbs that fall from the master's table--the dogs should not be seated at the table with the children as equals or heirs--and then the children themselves taxed as foreigners.

[If a person hasn't had insurance for a long time what makes him       think he needs it now? My Bible says if we honor our parents

(even       if they were wicked people who don't deserve honor for how they live or for their persons, God commands that we       respect their status as father and mother—as representatives of       God, even as a woman is to honor her husband even if he is not       honorable; this does not mean we are to overlook immorality and treat it as righteousness, but that we are to live       righteously in the way that we know is right as outlined in God's Word, showing even the wicked parent or       immoral spouse how life should be lived in honor to God, even if the parent or spouse does not live in the right fashion, and by our testimony they will be convicted, or by our testimony they shall have the greater judgment; even as by living righteously, Noah condemned the world; showing it could be done by God's Grace, so all others who do not are without excuse)

and if we       keep God's dietary laws, God promised long life and good health,       free from disease. I have had no health insurance since I was a       teenager in my dad's house, and that was before he realized       insurance was a sin against God, trusting in doctors and drugs       rather than living a life in obedience to God and trusting him.       Accidents happen of course, and if it is the other person's fault,       chances are you will be recompensed (and if they don't own       anything, it is quite possible to sue the state, since most people       are actually wards of the state—therefore the STATE is responsible, just like slaves on a       plantation, and if the slave goes off and damages someone, the       slave owner is liable; the State claims to own people; the State therefore is responsible if one of their slaves injures someone who is a freeman). I have not been to a doctor maybe but 5       times in the past 30 years... and in some cases, they did no good       anyway

(like when I had a horrendous case of poison ivy
   
   

—I had been outside during the winter, cutting up an old apple tree that had fallen down in the hayfield... it was around freezing, but I get hot when I work hard, so I took my shirt off... of course as the wind blew I got covered with sawdust; but I did not realize the hairy vine as thick as my arm that had been growing up the tree was poison ivy—
   

   
I suffered 3 weeks, went to doc.       he gave shot of steroid--and I STILL SUFFERED for another week, in       which case it would have cleared up on its own and going to the doctor brought no       immediate relief; but he didn't care as long as he got his $100 or       whatever).  It seems such "professions" (doctors, lawyers, politicians) are the ONLY ones in which RESULTS are irrelevant.  MERELY going through the motions is what you pay for.  If you order a meal and the chef burns it, you don't pay.  If you pay a carpenter to build a house and it falls over, you don't pay.  If you hire a mechanic to fix your engine and the engine falls out, you don't pay.  But the same standard --the only moral standard-- is not applied to those who charge us the most and in matters of most importance in life.  It is criminal.

Other times I needed to go to a doctor, a broken hand and an impacted molar, yes,       doctors are needed in such cases; but in many other cases they usually do more harm       than good and the entire system is a racket, from drug companies       to medical school, doctors, hospitals, and insurance companies ALL       OVERCHARGING 10X (the immoral mentality: everyone above me is dishonest and overcharging, so I will too)  so that unless a person is independently wealthy NO ONE can       afford health insurance (and the prices are artificially inflated so only those with insurance can "afford" the fees, which encourages, or even forces most people to partake in the immoral racket)--and that is what they want, prices SO       HIGH that everyone is in fear, OH I GOTS TO HAVE ME INSURANCE, you can't live without insurance... (even though people did for 6950 years of earth's history, and many still do)... so much in fear that they       sell their soul to the govt who plans on killing them anyway. What       happened to the doctors who used to make house calls? Now they see 10 people in 1 hour and bill them all for the full hour.  What happened to the honest doctors of yesteryear who charged a reasonable       fee that the average farmer could afford?
 
Modern medicine and health care is A COMPLETE SCAM and it is       IMMORAL and on par with WAR CRIMES... crimes against humanity...       if it is a crime to hoard food or water (that is, to buy it all up at the time of the emergency) in times of a crises and       charge 10x the real value, what then is charging health care 10x       the real value every day of the week, when people are suffering       and dying (and many, over 1 million die each year as direct result of       drugs, hospitals and doctors)...? and at the same time, these tyrannical government servants and medical institutions outaw all       natural cures that people used successfully for 5,950 years of       earth's history. They act like gods and claim they alone have the       only answers and no method but theirs may be used and only by       someone properly licensed, but when they kill someone they claim       they are "only human" and not responsible. 
 
How did I become so "anti-doctor"...?  MY DAD was a medical doctor and psychiatrist and HE taught me much of the fraud of modern medicine and psychiatry, in which he never participated.  Of course a certain percentage of modern medical care and psychology are valid; but the greater part is not valid and is intellectual TYRANNY and tyranny over the minds and bodies of mankind. 
 
Dr. Benjamin Rush*1 expressed

“Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution the time will come when medicine will organize itself into an undercover dictatorship.*2  To restrict the art of healing to doctors and deny equal privileges to others will constitute the Bastille*3 of medical science.  All such laws are un-American and despotic.”

   

[*1 Dr. Benjamin Rush (1746-1813), called “The Father of American Psychiatry,” was also professor of Chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania (a private, ivy-league university founded by Benjamin Franklin, in Philadelphia, the 4th-oldest institution of higher learning in the U.S.), founder of Dickinson College (Carlisle, Penna.), a medical doctor, signer of the Declaration of Independence, member of the Constitutional Convention, and later Treasurer of the U.S. Mint. His grave can be visited in the cemetary of Christ Church, in downtown, historic Philadelphia.
*2 —the only thing Rush was wrong about...? —the modern medical dictatorship is not “undercover” but overt and blatant.
*3 The Bastille was the notorious dungeon castle-fortress-like prison into which people were thrown (after even the simplest, unproven accusation) without trial, during the bloody Communist Revolution in France.]
   

I will never sign away my freedom.
   
If a person wants to read through the 2800 pages (or is it 10,000?) of Obamacare with lawyerese loopholes, snares, and trapdoors, and sign away his very life to the State and then when the State wants to terminate your life or tell you that you are fine or that you don't need any medical care, or you are not worth the cost of medical care, you can then pay through the nose to have a lawyer try to argue that such is not what those words mean in obamacare (and after you get the lawyer bill, you may just wish you had let them euthenize you)... that is one option.... but in utter defiance of all natural and organic law, once you sign, they can "change the contract" at whim and still maintain that you must agree to the changes... in fact, I believe that part of the "contract" that you sign is signing away your right to redress... your right to contest any issue... you are signing away your soul.
   
They get NOTHING from me... I will sign nothing, I do not recognize their authority... I want nothing they have to offer.  I sign my life--which is God's property on loan to me as caretaker and guardian--away to NO one.]

IT IS A CONFLICT OF INTERESTS for politicians to vote on many issues.  Their job is to vote for what THE PEOPLE tell them--and that "people" refers to freemen, not slaves; freemen earn their OWN salary.  Politicians are the SERVANTS or SLAVES of the people.  Thomas Jefferson said, "When a man enters a public trust (i.e. becomes a public servant) he should consider himself public property."  Similarly, those on welfare HAVE NO RIGHT to vote to have MORE MONEY taken from other people and given to their worthless persons.  THAT IS THEFT.  ONLY FREEMEN have the right to vote and politicians and those on so-called "government assistance" are NOT freemen.  The dogs that eat the crumbs that fall from the master's table HAVE NO RIGHT to dictate what the menu is or the volume of daily crumbs that should fall--and if the dogs that eat under the master's table try to seat themselves at the table as sons--they should be slapped down; if they bite the master's foot, or piss or poop under the table—they should be cast out into the street.  Beggars must accept whatever graces are bestowed upon them; if ever they come to psychotically view such charity and grace as RIGHTS DUE TO THEM, they should be reminded of their INFERIOR position by being given NOTHING.  THOSE WHO CAN work, yet do not, should be given NOTHING.  Society believes in evolution, whose major premise is natural selection and survival of the fittest, so those who refuse to work a job they deem beneath them, or who just refuse to work at all, should be allowed to STARVE TO DEATH.  On this point, evolution and the Word of God are in agreement.  However, as usual, the destroyers of society hypocritically choose when they will or will not apply what they claim to believe.  Politicians and any persons receiving public funds in any way are dogs that eat the crumbs that fall from the master's table and they have NO RIGHT TO VOTE on ANY matter that benefits themselves.  The MASTER decides.  He may let his children vote in some matters.  But the dogs are given no vote.

Benjamin Franklin, in his words of wisdom penned:

"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.  Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.  When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.
 
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither safety nor liberty.
 
Where liberty dwells, there is my country.
 
God grant that not only the love of liberty but a thorough knowledge of the rights of man may pervade all the nations of the earth, so that a philosopher may set his foot anywhere on its surface and say: This is my country.
 
He that lieth down with dogs shall rise up with fleas.
 
If you would not be forgotten
As soon as you are dead and rotten,
Either write things worthy reading,
Or do things worth the writing.
 
Never confuse motion with action.
 
This will be the best security for maintaining our liberties. A nation of well-informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the religion of ignorance that tyranny begins.
 
Freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God and nature.
Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become more corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.
Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.
 
The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself.
 
There is no kind of dishonesty into which otherwise good people mroe easily and more frequently fall than that of defrauding the government....

{the only true government is the people themselves; so the people rob themselves or each other when they choose to live immorally at someone else's expense.  Nothing is ever free... it costs somebody something.  Not even salvation is free... Christ paid dearly the price for us.  Neither HEALTH nor FREE HEALTH CARE are God-given rights.  LIFE itself is a right.  QUALITY of life must be EARNED—not "legislated" like "equality" and other immoral myths.  —My added thoughts.  RAB}

Geese are but Geese tho' we may think 'em Swans; and Truth will be Truth tho' it sometimes prove mortifying and distasteful."

“If Christianity goes, the whole of our culture goes.  Then you must start painfully again, and you cannot put on a new culture ready made.  You must wait for the grass to grow to feed the sheep to give the wool out of which your new coat will be made.  You must pass through many centuries of barbarism... The Western World has its unity in this heritage, in Christianity and in the ancient civilizations of Greece, Rome and Israel, from which, owing to two thousand years of Christianity we trace our descent.... But we can at least try to save something of those goods of which we are the common trustees: the legacy of Greece, Rome and Israel, and the legacy of Europe throughout the last 2,000 years.  In a world which has seen such material devastation as ours, these spiritual possessions are also in imminent peril.” (from Notes towards the Definition of Culture, 1948)

TRUE Faith and the Prayer of FAITH

I Prefer The FAITH Book rather than Facebook

While recently, briefly, at Facebook....

[which I rarely am at, since it is not user friendly for those with dial up (TAKES FOREVER), since it is an information-gathering/spy network, and since it seems like a supreme waste of time as the majority of things I have seen posted there seem to be by people who have NO LIFE or PURPOSE other than wasting their time and everyone else's taking pictures and showing everyone each time they buy a donut or blow their nose, which online "reality" games they play, each time they go to wal-mart or the grocery store (I guess that is like when parents required their children to "check in" every hour--back when parents cared and children obeyed--maybe these people are so feeble minded or they realize the world is so evil, they want an electronic trail so people can trace their last-known whereabouts should they ever disappear).]

... a "Christian Spam" organization sent out a message which about 31,000 people "liked" and gave it a "thumbs up", which in essence said, "Don't stop praying, God will give it to you, it just may be 'wrapped differently' because God knows best what you need."  Below was what I posted in reply:

Some things sound good as long as you don't actually think about them and hold them to scrutiny comparing them to the truth; in this case, God's Word. Christ said, "When ye pray, WHATSOEVER THINGS YE DESIRE, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." It takes specific faith to ask for a specific request and for God to give the very thing asked for. It takes no faith to pray that God give you something other than what you asked. PROMISES are give for a purpose. If we do not believe they are real, then that is possibly why we do not receive; Christ did not many miracles in His own hometown because of their lack of faith. REJECT subtle antichrist doctrine that says other than what God said, offering some type of "higher wisdom" in place of the clear commands or promises of God's Word. A Buddhist, humanist, atheist, can all say, "Hang in there, things will get better" or "Keep thinking positive thoughts and good things will happen." Prayer is not halo polishing or aura fluffing feel goodism... it is FAITH in the SPECIFIC PROMISES of God's Word. We have the ONLY TRUE GOD and HE ALONE has given to His children PROMISES, not nice ideas, but PROMISES. BELIEVE them. CLAIM them. It takes no faith to believe that God is going to give you what He planned on giving you anyway, had you never prayed. Prayer is specific according to our need and desire and it is asking God to agree with our very prayer and grant it. If you ask for bread will He give you a stone? He knows what we need before we even ask, so why ask if He is not going to give us the very thing we asked for? that would be praying without faith, in hypocrisy... and nowhere did Christ tell us to pray that type of prayer. If we are struggling against what we know we should do, but we don't want to do it, that is an ENTIRELY different area of praying "thy will be done"... the only prayer of that type was when Christ prayed in the garden before the prospect of the cross and the difference is that CHRIST KNEW it was God's Will because that was the entire reason He was born... we, unfortunately, don't have that clarity of insight, but then again, neither are we dying for the sins of God's people. We are to pray specifically because our God, the Creator of the universe, is also our Heavenly Father who DELIGHTS to give us what we desire, when we live honoring Him as obedient children, doing that which is pleasing in His sight, in whatever we do. Of course, there are other factors/verses, that come into play concerning prayer. If we have sin in our lives God cannot hear (grant) our request. But if we are walking in oneness with the Holy Spirit, obeying the commands of His Word (which were not abolished) as obedient children, trusting in the Grace of Christ to empower us to be obedient children, pleasing in the Father's sight, then He LONGS to give us the desire of our heart, as does any father his son in whom he is pleased. ASK. ASK IN FAITH. ASK IN FAITH SPECIFICALLY. BELIEVE YOU WILL GET SPECIFICALLY WHAT YOU HAVE ASKED FOR (anything less is not faith and is actually belief in the fact that God is not FAITHFUL to His Promises)--and ye shall have the VERY THING you asked for. SCRUTINIZE what is said before you mindlessless agree thumbs up. Don't SABOTAGE your own life by trusting in feelgoodism and that which is not true FAITH: TRUE FAITH is based upon the FACTS of God's Word, not nice-sounding jingoism. REJECT unsound humanism in any form: anything that says anything other than what the WORD OF GOD says. BELIEVE GOD'S WORD, not nice-sounding (if you don't stop to think about it or actually compare it to what God's Word says), faith-devoid, Hall-mark card tripe that makes you feel better about why God did not give you what you asked for by the invention of some false cotton-candy theology which actually keeps you from the victory. If you do not receive what you prayed for--LOOK INSIDE... (NOT "all around" thinking the problem must obviously be elsewhere or some mystical higher wisdom on some other plane or alternate dimension we cannot possible understand) there is a reason... it is not that "God thought we needed something better" because that is in violation of the plethora of PROMISES He gave us. If there is something in our lives that is not right, that is where the clog is stuck and it needs to become unstuck through repentance and confession and obedience. Find the problem, then return to the Throne of Grace for your SPECIFIC request. TRUE faith is not resignation to fate, but believing that God will give you the very thing you asked for. When our lives are pleasing in His Sight, He will cause us to ask for that which is His Will and His Will and our will in such circumstances will be the same. God's Promises are true. ASK IN FAITH. God bless His children who as innocent children believe the VERY Promises He has given us, not nice-sounding cliche's that make us feel better about failure only to delude us into being content to continue in failure. Christ Promised victory, abundant life, blessing for obedient children and the very thing we asked for (Whatsoever you ask the Father in My Name He will give you)--if we "walk in the spirit" so as to not "fulfill the lusts of the flesh." If we obey His Commands and do that which is pleasing in His sight: "Ask what ye will and it shall be done unto you." Faith is a fruit of the spirit. Without faith it is impossible to please God. If any of you ask for wisdom, let him ask in faith nothing wavering: for he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea tossed to and fro: let not that man think that he shall receive anythig of the Lord. This same principle applies to anything we ask for. Without faith it is impossible to please Him. If we don't believe His Promises, why should He honor our request? If we do not ask in faith, God will not honor our request: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin. May God pour out the fulness of His Holy Spirit upon all of us His needy and deficient children, that we might have true faith that can move mountains... for there are certainly many mountains pressing in upon us from every direction.

“So Help Me God” — REALLY...?

We Sabotage Our Own Lives by Not Thinking

“The most thought-provoking thing in our thought-provoking time is that we are still not thinking.”

—Martin Heidigger (German philosopher)

[I had to read (or tried to read) Heidigger's book "What Is Called Thinking?" for a college class; decades ago.  I don't know if I was ever even able to trudge through 2 boring chapters.  Maybe my mind was not ripe then (or on the several ocassions even since, that I have attempted to again read it), or maybe the thoughts contained in the book itself are "over-ripe" (i.e., rotten), though it may contain some unspoiled portions that can be cut out and still used.  Regardless, the success of the book was the profound impact the basic premise had, even if the propounding of the premise throughout the rest of the book was dull.  The quote above is the succinct version, of the long, drawn-out expounding of this concept, which is not without merit; if one does not have better things to do, I suggest finding a copy on-line* or in a library (don't waste your money on buying a copy—I still have mine, it is a great dust collector) and reading the first few chapters... if you are fortunate to have so much time and a superior attention span and iron will that allows you to actually conquer and finish the book, by all means, please let me know what you thought of it; I would like to know.  * Try this site:

http://books.google.com/books?id=U_8eQELz_s4C&;pg=PT19&lpg=PT19&dq=%22Martin+heidegger%22+%22what+is+called+thinking?%22#v=onepage&q=%22Martin%20heidegger%22%20%22what%20is%20called%20thinking%3F%22&f=false

What is amazing, is that the "book" is the collection of lectures that the good professor gave to his students at the university—imagine the unfortunate young people who had to sit through and try to absorb it from hearing it once; if it is hard for it to sink in being able to read it over and over in a book, no wonder so many philosophers commit suicide, if their "career" started out having to build truth upon hearing a boring obtuse lecture once and then being expected to absorb, understand, and recall it when asked in examination.]

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge....” (Hosea 4:6)

At the very end of this article is the original email that spurred my thoughts which precede it here.  The basic premise and purpose for these thoughts is that well-meaning people frequently do many things without even thinking, and thus sabotage their own lives,* most often without realizing it; often even sinning against God without even realizing it.

[* A simple example: I often hear of people who go out to get a job and are not given the job, being told they are "overqualified."  First of all, that is discrimination—especially since businesses frequently hire people who are woefully "underqualified" (even utterly incompetent, being unable to even fill out the application or read) due to quotas and affirmative action.  Most recently I heard of a woman who recently got her Accounting degree went to get a job at a Dollar Store or something, to at least earn some paycheck until a real job arose in her field.  She of course was turned down due to overqualified discrimination.  However, it was her own fault.  Most people make the mistake of filling out forms and writing down all sorts of information simply because there is a "line" there that says to.  Leave it blank.  Or, write down the very minimal possible, if you feel the need to write something.  Obviously, this is much easier for a woman than a man: for if the prospective employer asks about the large gap in the "employment history" all a woman has to do is say she was a housewife and mother, but now wants/needs to earn a paycheck.  Your college and training is entirely irrelevant and none of their business.  Of course, a man may be able to say the same thing if he wants: My wife has a degree and was the bread-winner and I stayed at home and raised the kids, but now that the kids are grown I want to contribute and do something. 

Similarly, in court, people usually hang themselves by what they say.  Now, if you have actually sinned against God and committed a crime, you need to confess and face the music.  However, if you are guilty of violating no valid law, then you should say the very minimal possible; answering "yes" or "no" period, if possible; and truthfully; or if a greater answer is required, consciously think of answering SOLELY the question, offering NO additional information; and if you are asked the wrong question, answer the wrong question; it is not your job to formulate the right question that you should have been asked—unless of course if answering is necessary to proving innocence (but caution and choice of words is still needed, as immoral lawyers are experts of twisting what you say; and always remember, there is no time limit on HOW LONG you are "allowed" to think before answering a question... take your time; if they try to rush you, tell them, "thanks, you just made me lose my train of thought, now I have to start over").  The corrupt system will use what you say against you, even if you are not guiltly of violating any VALID, CONSTITUTIONAL Law.  A Supreme Court Justice once declared that 95% of convictions come from admissions and confessions.]

The below, very short email that I received and forwarded with these thoughts, dealt with someone going in to court and the judge no longer having "So help me God" in the "required" oath.  However, more important than the removal of those words, are many other thoughts about which few have ever thought; to their own detriment.

One thing in court most people do not even realize, is that a Judge in a criminal case will ask you

"How do you plead, guilty or not guilty?"

The only intelligent Christian reply would be:

"This seemingly simple question is FRAUGHT with ambiguity, error, and what I perceive in my mind to be entrapment, whether intended or not. 

First of all plead means 'pray' and I pray only to God.

Secondly, your 2 choices (whether you intend it or not) constitute entrapment and are dishonest, unfair, and unconstitutional.

By my claiming that I am 'not guilty' I am making a subtle implication of the attachment of guilt itself.

I do not 'plead' and I do not accept 'not guilty' as my factual position, I 'maintain and declare that I am innocent.' "

Furthermore, while well-meaning, devout Christians object to "so help me God" being removed from the oath, they overlook the fact that the Bible is no longer produced for the person's left hand to be placed upon (while a politician in Ohio several years back took his oath of office with his hand on the TALMUD...!)... —but Christians have long overlooked the fact that God's Word commands us,

"33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: 34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by Heaven; for it is God’s Throne: 5:35 Nor by the earth; for it is His footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.  36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.  37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil." (Matthew 5)

"But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation. ...." (James 5:12)

Sadly, most Christians never even realize the irony--sacrilege--of putting their hand on the very Bible that says swear not and perform only thy oaths to God (not to man) and then swearing...!  How can God honor such disobedience...?

Therefore, if the judge asks you to raise your hand and swear, a Christian should respond:

"I am sorry, but is it unconstitutional to demand that I partake in a religious ceremony... you are wearing a robe, sit in an exalted position, want me to pray to you, and want me to raise my hand in some type of religious ceremony and swear, when my religion forbids me to swear or recognize other gods [Quote verses listed above.]..."

at this point the judge will claim if you do not want to swear you can 'affirm'; to which a Christian should reply,

"The word affirm is legal synonym for swear.  Are you trying to entrap me into violating my religion and continue to partake in your religious ceremony against my will and over my objections, in violation of my conscience...? or do you, a judge, somehow not know the law or the legal meanings of words you use and are requiring me to use...?  I am confused.  I do not understand the proceedings nor their legal basis in fact of law.  Where in the Constitution am I required to swear and raise my hand?  The U.S. Constitution preserves my God-given, inalienable rights; it does not impose obligations upon me.

"I cannot swear or affirm because God commands me not to... however, what I say will be the truth because God in His Word the Holy Bible forbids me to bear false witness in court. 

if the judge does not accept that, I would ask: 

Does this court not recognize my religion, the religion very upon which this nation was founded...? and is this court declaring that it will not allow my testimony which I say will be true, simply because I will not use some magical religious word cloaked under the color of law...?"

When I testified for a neighbor one time, in a very minor matter involving a neighbor's dog and his, I told the judge I would not swear because it was against my religion.  He replied I could "affirm."  I responded, that I would not affirm because affirm means the same thing as swear... he arrogantly [god-like, thinking it is "HIS" court, when it is not, it is the court of the people of the county it is in] replied, "Not in my book...!"  Since that was good enough for the situation, since he said affirm did not mean swear, I consented.  In hindsight, I should have replied,

"Since this is a matter of my conscience at stake, I would like to know exactly which book is 'yours' and what legal bearing it has in relation to the U.S. Constitution and the Corpus Juris Secundum."

or, if a Judge maintains, "Affirm does not mean swear" I would reply,

"Okay, that is wonderful, so since my conscience is at stake, what is the LEGAL definition of "affirm" if it does not mean swear, and what is also the legal definition of 'swear' so I can compare the two; and in what official Legal source is that definition to be found?  Is 'swearing' an oath?  Is 'affirming' an oath even if it not the same type of oath that swearing is?"

If a Judge continues to demand an oath or affirmation or any other 'special' word in regard to your offering truthful testimony, ask,

"Since I have already declared that what I speak will be true, where in the Constitution am I required to add any other word to it...? and if I am a liar, how will my 'promising' (which is also an oath) to tell the truth make what I say true...? and if I am an honest person, how will my 'promising' to tell the truth make what I will say MORE true...?  How will my raising my hand make what I say MORE true and to whom am I raising my hand and what does it signify?  Since my swearing or affirming or raising my hand will not make what I say true, and it is not mandated in the Constitution and is not based on science or philosophy or natural law it therefore has no legal bearing and must be a religious ritual.  I don't mean to be difficult or argumentative, but does this court want me to soil my conscience and violate the commands of God?  What I say will be true.  That is all there is to it.  What more is needed? 

"Also, I cannot declare that what I say will be "the whole truth and nothing but the truth" for I do not know the whole truth and I am an imperfect and fallible being.  All I can tell is what I know, and since I also know that I am not perfect and do not know all things and somethings I think I know I may misunderstand, for all humans are in error in some things they believe... I cannot claim that I will be perfect... all I can say is that what I will say will be true to the best of my knowledge."

Of course, if you do not say these things respectfully enough, you may wind up being a guest of the court in the local jail for contempt of court (a punative power judges often wield to intimidate, persecute, and punish people they don't like) or the judge may reject you as a witness and not allow you to testify which is good if you did not want to, but not good if your testimony was needed.  If you wanted to testify and your testimony was needed, if the case goes against the one you wanted to testify for, it may be grounds for a mistrial that the judge, with prejudice, refused to allow a key witness to testify.

Of course, we no longer have a JUSTICE system, even though  it is so called (even as the Postal SERVICE is no longer a service but a money making business that enriches a select few), we merely have a LEGAL system, and it is an evil and ungodly system since our nation has been subverted from its Christian roots and the Bible has been amputated from society, upon which all Anglo-Saxon jurisprudence itself was founded (See the Dooms of King Alfred, available for a donation of 6.00 + P&H).

And that would be another good point to argue in court for mistrial, because there is a plethora of evidence that our nation was founded as a CHRISTIAN nation, and that evidence could be admitted into evidence in court... or they may merely dismiss the court case itself to prevent the evidence from being presented.

I offer the very best of these books; for information on titles and prices, inquire.

just a few ideas to consider, for what they are worth.... Robert

PS.  It is NOT enough to believe in God.  Scripture tells us that the demons also believe—and tremble (which most Christians do not; no longer understanding what it even means to be a "god-fearing" man; if a person truly fears/respects God, he will obey Him and live as He has commanded, knowing that God is Holy and Just and will punish those outside His Grace.

PPS. One person on my email list arrogantly responded that saying any of the above is foolish; just take the oath and ask God to forgive you.  Well, if you have such a carnal mind and inoperative conscience, that you can willingly sin against God and then simply confess it, then by all means go ahead... and what is to stop you from committing any other sin against God, if you think sin is so light a matter that you can like a Catholic go to confession or say a Hail Mary or Our Father and be absolved; and run back out and do it again.  Certainly God forgives us when we actually repent... but does one truly repent if he thinks that sin is so insignificant that he would counsel someone to just go ahead and sin and then confess it.  This makes a mockery of the atonement.  Yes, we all sin and fail out of ignorance or when we give in to temptation.  God said swear not by heaven or earth or any other thing and perform thine oaths only unto the Lord.  What part of that is difficult to understand?  What part of "NO OTHER GODS" is difficult to understand.  I imagine he would have counselled Shadrack, Meshack, and Abednego to "just go ahead and bow down and then ask God to forgive you," or counsel others a few years from now, "just go ahead and take the mark of the beast and ask God to forgive you."  If Christians cannot stand up when the persecution is nearly nonexistent, how on earth do they expect to be able to stand up when the persecution is severe and a matter of life or death.  As the old saying goes, "He who stands for nothing will fall for anything."  If a person has no discipline to do what is right in insignificant areas, it is doubtful he ever will in serious matters.  God said don't swear.  Period.

Believing in God is one thing, being in Jesus is another.  One thing about it, as this age comes to an end, more than 86% will believe in Him, but, for some it will be too late.  It helps to know your roots.

        AGREE or DELETE                  This is by a daughter of a murdered couple in Raytown, MO. who had a Bible and Bookstore on 63rd Street.         She says:  When I had to testify at the murder trial of my parents a week ago, I was asked to raise my right hand... The bailiff started out "Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?"         I stood there and waited but she said nothing.   She said "Do you?"         I was so stunned I blurted out "What happened to "so help me God'?"         She came back with "Do you?"         I replied yes, but I was perplexed.         Then the judge said.  "You can say that if you want to."         I stopped, raised my right hand, and finished with: "So help me God!"         I told my son and daughter that when it came time for them to testify, they should do the same.                  I don't know what can be done about it, but it's time for us to step up and DO something.         NBC this morning had a poll on this question.  They had the highest number of responses that they have ever had for one of their polls, and the percentage was the same as this:         86%to keep the words,  14% against...         That is a pretty 'commanding' public response.                  I was asked to send this on if I agreed... Or delete if I didn't.         Now it is your turn.  It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God.         Therefore, I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a mess about having "In God We Trust" on our money and having God in the Pledge of Allegiance.         Why is America -- our nation -- catering to this 14%?         If you agree, pass this on , if not, simply delete...         In God We Trust
