Why am I frustrated? Let me count a few of the ways.

The reader might wonder how a man claiming to be a Christian could post a photograph of himself lighting candles before a Confederate Battle Flag in honor of his (Christian) Confederate ancestors. I might ask you how the Bible believing Christian, Hans Rudel, the son of a Lutheran pastor and German WWII hero could write “Stuka Pilot” and justify (to me at least) his honorable participation in combat for the Reich. (*Look for next week's posting an the article entitled "A German Patriot Reflects On September 1939/Lies About German War Guilt.") What I want to show is that history is written by the victor who shapes it to justify their motives and actions even if they were unlawful when initiated. Victory cleanses war crimes in the minds of the populace, and can, and has many times made a lie the truth.

Charge to the Sons of Confederate Veterans

"To you, Sons of Confederate Veterans, we will commit the vindication of the cause for which we fought. To your strength will be given the defense of the Confederate soldier's good name, the guardianship of his history, the emulation of his virtues, the perpetuation of those principles which he loved and which you love also, and those ideals which made him glorious and which you also cherish." -Lt. General Stephen Dill Lee, Commander General, United Confederate Veterans,
New Orleans, Louisiana, April 25, 1906.

I am, and by the grace of God, I will.

"Surrender means that the history of this heroic struggle will be written by the enemy; that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers; will learn from Northern school books their version of the War; will be impressed by all the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors, and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision." -General Pat Cleburne, CSA

“He who controls the past controls the future and he who controls the present controls the past.” –George Orwell

Back in the 4th grade, so long ago now, my teacher taught me that Lincoln had no interest in freeing slaves. He sure didn't in the four Northern slave states, nor in slave holding Washington DC where he had the authority to do so, even telling the South they could keep their slaves if they stayed in the union. He wanted to preserve the union to continue to take Southern tariff money to fill the federal coffers for Northern projects. Over 3/4 of the entire federal budget was provided by one third the population; the South. One third can't out vote two thirds; the North had a good thing going, and the South couldn't stop it. Where did we hear the phrase "taxation without representation" before?

The victor's spin created the mythical Abraham Lincoln, the Great Emancipator, out of a man who freed not a single slave. Perhaps even more incredibly, his lofty Emancipation Proclamation actually did the exact reverse of public perception. When a Northern army captured a Southern area, slavery again became legal, as it was only disallowed in areas under Southern control. Lincoln , a vocal White supremacist, and a bi-sexual, who wrote homosexual poetry in his own handwriting, became "arguably our greatest president" by publically playing Bible verses like a Stradivarius.

A man who had stated several times, like Jefferson, that secession was a right, ignored own his words when faced with choosing between them and the total federal power. Lincoln, the Borg King, assimilated the South, and voided the 10th Amendment. Resistance was futile. Free Tibet, we tell China, independence for Taiwan, but not American states? Is it just me, or does that sound like situational ethics to you, too?

“Telling the truth in times of universal deceit becomes a revolutionary act.” -George Orwell

As a, then Roman Catholic altar boy, I traveled to St. Edward’s Seminary, now closed, to explore the priesthood. Pius the XII had issued an indulgence for reading the Catholic Bible. Time off purgatory just for some reading? Why not? But it said the apostles had wives! Why then could a priest not marry if a holy apostle could? This led to a series of questions and mental roadblocks that caused me to leave Romanism. The journey had begun.

When I entered and trained in the police force the R.C.W.s, the Revised Code of Washington, were pretty straight forward and traditional in historical law and terms. In 1975 Title 9A was created, making felony sodomy a non-criminal offense, along with legalizing felony Lotteries, in which the state of Washington now provided for money! A former felony is now a source of revenue for the state! Maybe they should have gone the “Full Monty” and decriminalized robbery, since it’s their main source of revenue.

The list of conflicting history included the coal explosion in the USS Maine blamed on innocent Cubans to enable US entry into the Spanish American War, the arms laden Lusitania lawfully sunk by a German U-boat, after ignoring honorable published German government warnings in all New York papers. This lie of the cruel Hun, dragged the US into WWI. During this unforgivable false premise, the Warburg family made money off both sides; Paul heading the American Federal Reserve, while his brother, Max ran the German Federal Reserve. Oi vey, such a deal.

Churchill prodded the Poles to harm ethnic Germans in the former German territory of Silesia gifted to Poland after WWI, promising to support them. England and France both ignored Hitler’s reasonable offers of compromise to avoid WWII. Meanwhile in America, Hitler had been wined and dined as our ally, before Roosevelt had US Navy ships find and follow the German ships reporting their positions for sinking by the Brits. In the Pacific, Roosevelt did everything but ask Japan to attack Pearl Harbor – with total foreknowledge.

When Churchill heard the attack had in fact happened he uttered, "We have won the war! This is the same man that said, "History will be kind to me for I intend to write it." Oh, and he did. He left out the part about the starvation well over 1 millions captured German POWs, that after Operation Keelhaul returned defeated Russian troops to Russia for the gulag. Yes, his victor's spin would have made Lincoln's General Turchin, the Mad Russian, proud.

Little known to the general public, America's Standard Oil, owned by the Rockefeller family, supplied Hitler's oil from Romanian oil fields through neutral Switzerland, trading with the enemy, an act of treason. Standard Oil set up the largest installation of 88mm anti-aircraft guns in the entire war at Ploesti, Romania, to shoot down the American B-24 bombers sent to destroy their source of income.

Post-WWII researcher, Charles Higham, proved without a shadow of doubt, that ITT kept Hitler's communications up to snuff, and built their Focke-Wulfs, while Chase Bank was up to it's proverial eyeballs in foreign war projects, Ford plants built German trucks, and Goering's American cousin, who was then the vice-chairman of the U.S. War Production Board supplied the Germans with ballbearings. As they say, "All's fair in love and war," eh?

Yes, I am frustrated.

Viet Nam was attacked without a declarations of war, by LBJ and McNamara using the fictitious Gulf of Tonkin Incident as a false flag to allow US to try to bomb some of SE Asia back into the stone age. Why not also mention Operation Northwoods, the JFK murder coverup with the crucial records being sealed initially by the Warren Commission until 2039, the Invasion of Iraq, particularly after 9-11, even though, the alleged suspects were Saudis, as was Osama bin Laden who was in Afghanistan and armed by the US. The Waco murders, Oklahoma City, and TWA Flight 800 whose 740 witnesses were not allowed to testify, while the same plane/flight’s previous day pilot and his wife were put in federal prison for proving military explosives were on seat samples he took from the reassembled plane, and privately tested. These are glaring examples of government/media collusion against our Republic.

"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." --William Casey, former CIA Director

"The CIA owns everyone of any significance in the major media." --William Colby, former CIA director

Right and wrong are eternal, like truth. If something is wrong, no one can make it right. Certainly not the government. Even Pontius Pilate, who was born in what is present day Scotland, asked, “What is truth?” He knew that battered Israelite carpenter in front of him wasn’t guilty of anything, and he washed his hands of his guilt as the Jews demanded he be crucified. "His blood be on us and on our children," was their response, and so it is. The Bible says so, even if Judeo-Christian pastors skirt the issue, for fear of offending the Jews.

But, mercifully, I am not the only one frustrated.

"In my own experience in scholarship, public policy, and journalism, I have learned that everyone from professors to high school dropouts has difficulty with facts and analyses that do not fit with what they already believe. The notion that "we are not afraid to follow the truth wherever it may lead" is an extremely romantic and idealistic notion. I have seldom experienced open minds even in academic discourse or in the highest levels of government. Among the public at large, the ability to follow the truth wherever it may lead is almost non-existent.” -By Paul Craig Roberts

Lord, please remember thy servant Paul Craig Roberts in your kingdom.

So what do I believe?

I believe that the Bible is the Word of God, that Jesus Christ is the Word made flesh, God in the flesh, the creator of all things, and that he lived a sinless life and died in innocence for the redemption and remarriage of his divorced people Israel, and for the sins of the world, especially those who believe.

Now what of the non-Israel people? The Book tells us about this reality.

Let no foreigner who has bound himself to the LORD say,
"The LORD will surely exclude me from his people."
And let not any eunuch complain,
"I am only a dry tree."
For this is what the LORD says:
"To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths,
who choose what pleases me
and hold fast to my covenant-
to them I will give within my temple and its walls
a memorial and a name
better than sons and daughters;
I will give them an everlasting name
that will not be cut off.
And foreigners who bind themselves to the LORD
to serve him,
to love the name of the LORD,
and to worship him,
all who keep the Sabbath without desecrating it
and who hold fast to my covenant-
these I will bring to my holy mountain
and give them joy in my house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and sacrifices
will be accepted on my altar;
for my house will be called
a house of prayer for all nations."
The Sovereign LORD declares—
he who gathers the exiles of Israel:
"I will gather still others to them
besides those already gathered."
-Isaiah 56:3-8 (New International Version)

I further believe, Jesus was born of a virgin named Mary, who with her husband, Joseph, had other children after the birth of Jesus whose father was God, he being the second Adam for the restoration of the kingdom of God/the kingdom of Heaven on earth, not in heaven. He arose bodily from the dead and is the Lord of Lords, King of Kings, the Almighty. I believe that faith in him, by repentance, public confession and the immediate water baptism “for the remission of sins so that you might receive the holy spirit” is required, as is a continuation of faith "until death, so that we receive the crown of life," otherwise " we believe in vain." I don't believe "once saved always saved," or in "unconditional eternal security" or in the mythical "rapture" of the church (pre-trib, mid-trib, post-trib or ever), but a rapture of the wicked, because Jesus said so; Hal Lindsey, Tim LaHaye and John Hagee’s teaching notwithstanding. I might add I believe, as did the Fathers. A new doctrine is not needed - we have the Book, and "there is nothing new under the sun."

This is what the LORD says:
"Stand at the crossroads and look;
ask for the ancient paths, (hello?)
ask where the good way is, and walk in it,
and you will find rest for your souls.
But you said, 'We will not walk in it.'
--Jeremiah 6:16 (NIV)

As a former Judeo-Christian, now a mere lowly but grateful redeemed baptized, Christian, I no longer believe the people that call themselves Jews today are Israelites - because they aren’t. In at least 90% of the cases they are not even Semites, rather they descend from Japhet. Arabs are Semites. Abraham, Moses, King David weren’t Jews. Jews hadn’t yet been invented.

Jesus, a Semite, a Hebrew, and Israelite of the tribe of Judah, was a Nazarene that lived in Galilee, and never lived in Judea nor practiced Judaism. Therefore he was not a Jew! But King Herod and Judas were. Some Israelites were Judeans, but not all Judeans were Israelites, they were Edomites.

“I know the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.” –Revelation 2:9 (NIV)

“I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars…” –Revelation 2:9 (NIV) Both verses quoting Jesus Christ

Judaism is a religion, whereas Israel is a race of people descended from Abraham through Isaac, and Jacob/Israel. Romans 9:3-5. Judaism is not Hebrewism, it is Talmudism, or more correctly, and foundationally Pharisaism.

"Pharisaism became Talmudism, Talmudism became Medieval Rabbinism, and Medieval Rabbinism became Modern Rabbinism. But throughout these changes of name, inevitable adaption of custom, and adjustment of Law, the spirit of the ancient Pharisee survives unaltered." -Rabbi Louis Finkelstein, Volume 1 of The Pharisees, the Sociological Background of their Faith

"The Jewish religion as it is today traces its descent, without a break, through all the centuries, from the Pharisees. Their leading ideas and methods found expression in a literature of enormous extent, of which a very great deal is still in existence. The Talmud is the largest and most important single member of that literature.” -The Universal Jewish Encyclopedia, Vol. VIII, (1942) p.474

"Judaism is not the religion of the Bible." – Rabbi Ben Zion Bokser, Judaism and the Christian Predicament, 1966, p.159

"The return from Babylon, and the adoption of the Babylonian Talmud, marks the end of Hebrewism, and the beginning of Judaism." –Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, Chief Rabbi of the United States

"The current expression 'Judaeo-Christian' is an error which has altered the course of universal history by the confusion it has sown in men's minds, if by it one is meant to understand the Jewish origin of Christianity . . . If the term 'Judaeo-Christian' does point to a common origin, there is no doubt that it is a most dangerous idea. It is based on a 'contradictio in abjecto' which has set the path of history on the wrong track. It links in one breath two ideas which are completely irreconcileable, it seeks to demonstrate that there is no difference between day and night or hot and cold or black and white, and thus introduces a fatal element of confusion to a basis on which some, nevertheless, are endeavouring to construct a civilisation." –Joshua Jehouda

"It is most interesting, indeed, that rabbis as well as Jewish scholars such as Mamlak and White agree with orthodox, historical Christianity that 'Judeo-Christian' is a contradiction in terms, even though that truth is yet to be discovered by contemporary evangelical and fundamentalist Christians" –Dr. Gordon Ginn, Christian scholar

"Jews began in the 19th century to call themselves Hebrews and Israelites in 1860" –Encyclopedia Judaica, 1971

"Strictly speaking it is incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a Jew or to call a contemporary Jew an Israelite or a Hebrew.” –1980 Jewish Almanac

The Good Book says that we should walk as Jesus walked, and that as he is, so should we be in this world. How did Jesus treat and talk to Pharisees? That is how we are to interact with them (the Talmudic Jews)! Oh that the church would listen!

I am not an anti-Semite – I am a Semite. Nor am I anti-Hamitic or anti-Japhetic, or even anti-Jewish! Let them all have the freedom to be and believe what they want. A wonderful former Jewish man, a baptized Lutheran immigrant and anti-papist, from Colb, Russia, adopted my own mother and raised her as his own. I named my first born son Jacob after him, and did so proudly. He threw his anti-Christ Talmud into the ditch and followed the Master. Praise God.

I, like "Jews Against Zionism" am anti-Zionist, and no longer able to accept the new dispensational theory of theology, after once believing it hook line and sinker. Hosea 1:10, Jeremiah 31:31, Hebrews 8:8. Romans 9:3-5.

"Here's a paradox, a paradox, a most ingenious paradox: and anthropological fact, many Christians may have much more Hebrew-Israelite blood in their veins than most of their Jewish neighbors." -Alfred M. Lilienthal, "What Price Israel?”

Not only this, but frustration is worsened when using such sites as WorldNetDaily. Voting and observing the results and reading the forums it is obvious that the writers believe starting WWIII preemptively against non aggressive Iran to be “raptured.” Show me the Scripture that says Jews, who/whatever they are, can do evil and you are, as Christians, to support them! Where?

Having tried to reason with some, including a pastor friend of John Hagee, the results frequently remind me of the Biblical gnashing of teeth and shouts to crucify. These Judeo-Christians defend anti-Christ Jews over their own Christian brothers and sisters. In several cases the moderator has kicked me off the site and refused to discipline those that defamed my religious beliefs when I questioned supporting people, regadless of who they are, who are acting contrary to the Bible.

Am I ranting yet, because I sure am frustated!

So what is the purpose of this site? What can’t be said on sites like the one just mentioned, can be said, yea, even questioned, here. When lawyer Bill Clinton said,“That depends on what your definition of "is" is,” he provided my opportunity: Is means “is” here.

For those interested in looking at Christian historicism, they may see the very doctrine under which Billy Graham was converted while hearing the late great Dr. Mordecai Ham preach. That was before Graham apostatized into cheap grace and allying with Rome to get the big gigs, and avoiding speaking out against homosexuality and other grave sins to retain his popularity (or marketability).

They say to the seers,
"See no more visions!"
and to the prophets,
"Give us no more visions of what is right!
Tell us pleasant things,
prophesy illusions.
-Isaiah 30:10 (NIV)

Aren't you, by now, getting a bit frustrated, too?

"Question with boldness even the existence of a God, because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than of blind-folded fear." -Thomas Jefferson

God is greater than our questions and He can handle it. From what I have learned about him, he'd rather an honest skeptic than a denominational glassy-eyed, mouth-breathing clone. Jesus himself said you will not get an answer unless you ask a question. I don't know about you, but I have a lot of questions.

"From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. 'For in him we live and move and have our being.'....'" -Acts 17:26-28 (NIV)

Yes, “Truth is more important than its ramifications,” but count the cost,

For with much wisdom comes much sorrow;
the more knowledge, the more grief.
-Ecclesiastes 1:18 (NIV)

Can you handle the truth? I believe I can. I hope I can, whatever it is, and I hope you can too.

"....whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it." --Patrick Henry
