WorldNetDaily asks, "Whom would you most like to see take on Obama in 2012? "
World NetDaily 's featured poll asks "Whom you most like to see take on Obama in 2012?" First, look at the potential Republicans listed in the poll linked below and the percentage of support for each. Then ask yourself, what sane Constitutionally loyal American patriot sees anything good in nearly any of these listed Republicans?
Only one has positions close to the Founders, Ron Paul, and he is getting too old to run again. If he did, his own party (and Rush, Hannity, Ingram, Medved and Beck) would just marginalize and savage him like they did in 2007-8. With his party's and conservative talk radio's support, Paul could have won, and won big. Many Democrats loved him, but the Federal Reserve backed, NeoCon Republican military industrial complex (War, Inc.) hated him. Michael Medved has already said on the radio he didn't know if he could support Rand Paul, a Republican, for Senate!
Look at what the 3rd District Washington Republicans did to Michael Delavar when he ran against Brian Baird. They quickly put up a NeoCon gal to run against him. But, when he beat her in the primary, they still didn't support him, a Republican, in the general election! And they want us to be loyal to them?
Nearly all Republicans support the imperial presidency of Lincoln, war, war, and more war - now even preemptively (esp. for the Israelis), international corporations with no loyalty to America, and the never ending chasing those hobgoblins of terror, poverty, drugs, etc. to further restrict our rights.
Iraq wasn't a threat, but China is. Want a war? Why not preemptively bomb communist China? That makes much more sense? Think about it: Our national debt would disappear, our jobs would return. A two-fer.
I do sympathize with the Republicans dilemma; how does any party lure the potential voters away from the status quo - with the nice (unlawful) government benefits handed out to the voter base by the Democrats? How does any party attract voters with the demand for personal responsibility and self-sufficiency? Hard sell, huh?
The Republican counter to the Democrats is slightly smaller über-federal government with a quasi-Lincoln-king president and eternal false flag initiated war as a sacrament? We don't need more laws and police - we need more personal fear of God, much less state government, and virtually no federal government. Parlez-vous Article 1, Section 8? We need to make Social Security, Medicare, school lunches, government welfare, illegal immigration (invasion), executive orders and the Federal Reverse Board as extinct as the Dodo bird.
Consider that in spite of tens of millions of registered Republicans, the party ran John McCain as their presidential candidate? John McCain? Think about that. And as his running mate, he picks (?) a nice gal, and governor of Alaska - with the Israeli flag in her office?
Read the Constitution, the Constitutional Convention and debates as recorded by Elliott, the Federalist Papers, the Founders and then look at the link below - and weep. Respond if you like. I can't, WorldNetDaily has permanently banned me from voting or commenting on its site.
Whom you most like to see take on Obama in 2012?

Yes, I see that hand
“With every head bowed and every eye closed, who would like to make a deep personal commitment to Jesus Christ right now. Please raise your hand. No one can see you. Yes, I see that hand, hallelujah. Yes I see that hand, another precious soul saved, thank you Jesus.”
Anyone that has been to a dispensational Judeo-Christian church has heard these words at the end of the service. Having heard them countless times myself, when a member of Babylonian Christianity, they are now utterly revolting to me, and I say with absolute certainty, to God also. The theological treason in this common well intentioned invocation, goes unrealized by the loving pastors that unwittingly try to trick half-committed people into the kingdom. Frankly, it is an example of trying to do the right thing the wrong way. The road to hell indeed is filled with good intentions.
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” – Matthew 7:12-14 (NIV)
Not only are the words of this religious con-job a grave error with eternal consequences, but they instill the misconception in those that hear them, that people are being saved. Saved from what? Embarrassment?
Count the cost. A person too timid to publicly confess the Lord of glory and sees no need to submit to water baptism to pledge their commitment, now or later, is not a saved Christian.
Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses. – 1 Timothy 6:11-13 (NIV)
How can I say this? Because God’s word says so. Arguing within Christian parameters, either the dispensational Judeo-Christians are right or God’s word is right. Let me present what I believe to be an unbiased case of facts and then you can decide.
"Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.
"Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn
" 'a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.'
"Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. – Matthew 10:32-38 (NIV)
When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?"
Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.” –Acts 2:37-39 (NIV)
Parlez-vous “The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off--all whom the Lord will call?” Doesn’t that include you and I?
We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. – Romans 6:4 (NIV)
Either the Apostles that actually knew and learned from Jesus understood the procedure in being saved, or they were wrong, and these new fangled pastors are right; meaning the Bible they say they believe is wrong. This either or proposition makes sense to me.
Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:18-20(NIV)
Make disciples "baptizing them."
Now, brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying, "Do not go beyond what is written." Then you will not take pride in one man over against another. For who makes you different from anyone else?…” –1 Corinthians 4:6-7 (NIV)
Direct my footsteps according to your word…” –-Psalm 119:133 (NIV)
…who disobeyed long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water, and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a good conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at God's right hand—with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him. – 1 Peter 3:20-22 (NIV)
For there is no difference between Jew (Judah/Benjamin living in Judea) and Gentile (the 12 tribes scattered abroad since 721BC – Hosea 1:10/James 1:1)—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." – Romans 10:12-14 (NIV)
“Yes, I see that hand?” So what? Hand, smand, do they openly acknowledge Him (verbally confess Him) before men? Do they then sign the contract, and make their pledge like the Book says by dying with him in water baptism to be raised in a new life? With all due respect, it’s reader participation time - now you can decide.

What my garden taught me about Immigration
After a life of learning from my mistakes, lately, I have been trying to learn also by observation. Call it preemptive mistake avoidance. So far it seems to work pretty well.
Earlier this year, I planted my first all organic garden; yea, even using organic fertilizer. The refurbished Troybilt rear tine rototiller worked well as multiple passes were completed every few days to prepare the soil. The rows were measured and the lines straight as I carefully planted each seed according to Hoyle.
After watering, and waiting a few days, it was exhilarating to see the first signs of life exploding from the ground. It felt like a personal return to the earth, to the agriculture traditions of the elders, and a proud primitive feeling of self sufficiency swept over me. Grocery store? I don’t need no stink’n grocery store!
Time passed, and a few weeks went by as the magic garden grew towards maturity. The watering became a ritual, nothing was too good for this labor of love.
At mid-summer, the time for summer Bible Camp came, and off I would be going to spend a week in Idaho visiting my youngest son and wife, while being spiritually renovated. Plans to water the garden were made with my daughter, who actually talked her boy friend into doing the job. That skill will come in handy when they are married. Believe me she is talented at delegating. The apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
Just before leaving, I’d noticed some small weeds coming up in the nice clean rows, but felt they could be handled upon my return. It would only be a week.
Fast forward one week. Already my garden was teaching me not to procrastinate. The weeds were doing even better than the vegetables. Some personal obligations prevented the pulling of these weeds, what’s a couple more days?
Actually it’s great for weeds. The garden seemed to be for the weeds with some vegetables growing amongst them. But, rationalizing, the produce looked like it was doing well, so let it be.
Then, a miracle. My three year old asparagus plants that had been tilled, survived and were growing in the spaces between the rows! To till the rows now would kill the the asparagus which take several years to mature. Another excuse to not weed, and that would have consequences.
This garden was trying to teach me but I wouldn’t listen. The weeds were by now choking out the vegetables. It seems like all the preplanned hard work, done step by step, and line by line, according to the book, were all for naught because I failed to nip the weeds in the bud.
Looking at the mixed multitude of green, the entire garden was now overrun by weeds, with the vegetables in the minority in the very garden that was specially prepared only for them. Everything, in preparation, execution and care, had been done properly. Only the mistake of not weeding, one weed at a time, caused the present condition.
Then, it hit me, the weeds could represent illegal immigrants, the vegetables the posterity of the Founders. Incrementally our country, just like this garden, was begun with careful planning, and established by the sweat of those who used their knowledge to avoid the mistakes in previous governments/gardens. Yet, one lapse in judgment and postponed action, whether by compassion or neglect, caused the domino effect that resulted in the present state of this garden and our country. When it comes to land, the result of diversity in peoples, cultures and even intermixed plants is the same – chaos.
The only thing to do now, is let everything die and start over next year. There is room in my garden for many different types of vegetables, just like the many kinds of people in our country. I will continue to plant them separately so that they can grow together according to their kind. Each has different attributes, favors, if you will, and grows at a different rate in their own unique way. I will appreciate them as the are. But, I will be more responsible next near, and will show no compassion for those weeds that try to immigrate without my permission into that special soil prepared for the vegetables. The next garden will have in it only those plants that are here by my original intent and purpose. They will be here to feed me; not to live off me.
Yes, I learned a lesson from my garden.

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

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)
