The idea for this blog was born out of the events leading up to the 2008 election. It soon became a journey of waking up to what is going on around us!
We are men & women from all walks of life. We are mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, sons and daughters! We love Our savior Jesus Christ! We love our families, friends, country and fellow Americans! We ARE America!Revelations of Truthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08017172657184383513noreply@blogger.comBlogger109125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907634979041256981.post-17737321925875382192012-11-27T11:47:00.002-08:002012-11-27T17:16:51.907-08:00Miracle in Hollywood! Sometimes I get a kick of how things play out. Two celebrities have made quite a commotion in the very recent past! <br />
<br />
Just yesterday I learned about Comedian, Jamie Foxx, referring to Barack Obama as his Lord and Savior. He did this live at a comedy show asking for applause and people applauded. Would you? Did anyone walk out or feel sick to their stomach?...I did just watching him on video. Even if he was joking, what he said is no laughing matter. Barack Obama, although not "the" anti-Christ, IS against Christ, therefore he is "an" anti-Christ (as is anyone who is against Christ!) <br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Oh sure Obama has claimed to be Christian, yet he clearly supports the murder of an unborn baby (abortion) and the murder of a "just born" baby (partial birth abortion), supports homosexual marriage, supports the NDAA (the now legal incarceration of people without due process), supports the killing of people (unjustified wars, drones), wastes the money of the people (wasteful spending of taxes), and lies as often as he opens his mouth and on and on...clearly shows He is NO follower of Jesus Christ, his "fruit" proves that!..... <i><span class="text Matt-7-15"><span class="woj">"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.</span> </span><span class="text Matt-7-16" id="en-NKJV-23333"><span class="woj"><b>You will know them by their fruits.</b>" </span></span></i><span class="text Matt-7-16" id="en-NKJV-23333"><span class="woj">Matt 7:15-16 </span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="text Matt-7-16" id="en-NKJV-23333"><span class="woj">In contrast, our one and only TRUE savior, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came to serve man and was crucified FOR man in place of man as a payment for our sins so that man would have the gift of everlasting life!! </span></span><i>"</i><span class="woj"><i>For
God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever

<span class="text Matt-7-16" id="en-NKJV-23333"><span class="woj"><br /> </span></span><br />
<span class="text Matt-7-16" id="en-NKJV-23333"><span class="woj">Then, yesterday as well, I learned of another celebrity, sharing quite the opposite! From where it came and from who, came as quite a surprise to me. Angus Jones, who began acting on the highly raunchy show 'Two and a half men' since its premiere in 2003 as a 9 year old child is now, almost ten years later, no longer a "half man" but a a full grown 19 year old man. He is causing waves everywhere by among other things, saying this about the show: </span></span><b>"Please stop watching it. Please stop filling your head with filth."</b><br />
<br />
I have never really watched that show. Just saw parts here and there
and was disgusted by the garbage on that show. I remember when the show
first came out thinking how sad for that cute little chubby boy to
be exposed to such raunchiness. Although, for obvious reasons, I believe his parents were
wrong to allow him to be on that show, one thing they did very right was his Christian education. On the videos below he shares how the only place he was exposed to God was at his Christian school. He spoke of his Bible classes where from watching his testimony below, at first, nothing seemed to happen, but clearly God through his Word did some mighty work in his heart. <i>"so
is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I
sent it" </i>Isaiah 55:11<br />
<br />
Angus, gives an amazing testimony of his journey. I encourage all to watch! Angus Jones, at such a young age, has come to realize what men twice his age (like Jamie Foxx) have yet to fully grasp....that entertainment is not just "entertaining" but affects us in deeper ways at very deep levels.<br />
<br />
He reminds us that the "name of the game right now is COMPROMISE" and to remember how deceiving the enemy, who has been around the world much longer than any of us have, really is.<br />
<br />
He goes on to say that in choosing a side, we are either all in or not. We are either all for the world or all for God. And that by playing the game of compromise we are hurting ourselves and others. <i>"So, because you are lukewarm--neither hot nor cold--I am about to spit you out of my mouth." </i>Revelation 3:16 <br />
<br />
<span class="st"> In a world full of "lukewarm" Christians, </span>Angus Jones, has courageously made his stance quite publicly and has chosen who to serve, as he challenges all watching<span class="text Matt-7-16" id="en-NKJV-23333"><span class="woj">....</span></span><span class="st"><i>"choose you today whom you will serve" </i>(Joshua 24:15)</span><br />
<b><span class="st"><br /></span></b>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="st"><b>So, instead of focusing on the work of the enemy through fools like Jamie Foxx, let's focus and celebrate the work of God through an unlikely child from an unlikely place, Angus Jones! This truly is a miracle in Hollywood!! </b></span><span class="st"><b> </b></span></div>

May God bless you and keep you always Angus Jones! May he pour His blessings on you and work through you always! Thank you for reminding me and the world how and why it is important to not "compromise"...not even with the remote control! -MariselaMarihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01299211292424328666noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907634979041256981.post-74197298908311661462012-03-18T01:02:00.003-07:002012-03-18T01:25:29.767-07:00Words of Warning & Hope!There are a lot of Obama and Hitler comparisons going on lately...why not ask a person, a German preferably, who was alive during Hitler's rein of terror and see what they have to say?<br /><br />Well Lori Kalner is one such person and here is what she wrote about Obama in comparison to Hitler. She wrote this when Obama was campaigning in 2008.

Now I must write at least this one last time. <a href="http://www.thoenebooks.com/">Bodie and Brock</a> are gracious and let my voice of warning be heard. </span><br style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"> <span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"> </span><br style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"> I was a young girl in Germany and lived through difficult times. We have since then had a wonderful life. The world, as difficult as it has been, at least for many years remembered what happened politically in Germany with the Depression in the 1930s. You remember how it began and thus progressed with the horrors of war which followed.<br /><br style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"></span> <span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"> The battle was at the beginning a Spiritual battle. </span><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;">You have read some parts of my story in the <a href="http://www.thoenebooks.com/bookList.asp?series=Zion%20Covenant">Zion Covenant</a>, from growing up in Germany in the days when evil men prevailed and TRUTH was turned upside down. White became black through a barrage of propaganda and constant repetition of lies against those who spoke the truth.</span><br style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"> <br style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"> Here is my warning to all: Perhaps it will be my last warning. (I wake up each day surprised that I am still here and not in heaven with those who wait for me!)</span><br style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"> <span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"> America and the whole world hangs in the balance now. I believe that America will stand or fall depending on who is elected President this year. <br /><br style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"></span> <span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"> Good Americans, like the good Germans of my youth, may think that the issues of their nation center around the economy. I tell you now that the fate of the greatest nation on earth does not depend on money.<br /><br style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"></span> <span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"> Every issue must only be judged worthy and true by the Word of God. Prosperity comes to a nation and a people who serves the Lord first. That is a basic spiritual principle which is seen in every book of Holy Scripture.</span><br style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"> <span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"> "If My people, who are called by My Name, will humble themselves, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land." (2 Chronicles 7:14)</span><br style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"> <span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"> </span><br style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;">This is where the healing of America begins: Friend, you must begin with examination of your own life first and the confession of your sins. </span><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;">Then pray for your nation. Ask yourself now: who supports the rights of the unborn babies and also of those who are handicapped? <br /><br style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"></span><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"> History tells us why this is critical:<br /> </span><br style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"> <span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"> In the Germany of my childhood, everyone worried about the economy. Paying bills. Buying bread. Money! And there were 1 million abortions in the year before <span class="il">Hitler</span> came to power. (A drop in the bucket compared to America.) The excuse given for the murder of unborn babies was that economic times were hard. How could a family feed another mouth?<br /><br style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"></span> <span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"> There followed the legalized forced sterilization of parents who had a handicapped child or who were judged "racially impure."<br /><br face="Comic Sans MS"></span> <span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"> Next came the legalized euthanasia of those who were handicapped. (An example of who would be killed is the Downs Syndrome child of Sarah Palin. He would have been killed immediately at birth.) <br /><br face="Comic Sans MS"></span> <span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"> Do we not see such choices carried out with tiny babies being strangled or left to die by abortionists today? Evil advances forward in America by law! This is done with the support of men and women in office who have sold their souls for power.<br /> </span><br face="Comic Sans MS"> <span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"> In those days in Germany all, who were, as I am now, elderly or ill, were gassed. These were all called "useless eaters." <br /><br face="Comic Sans MS"></span><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"> Christians and Jews who spoke out against this evil were labeled as radical "religious fanatics." A campaign of false accusation, slander and persecution began, targeting people of faith. It was "unpopular" to speak the TRUTH. (Were these persecuted Christians people like you?) Many were jailed and eventually killed. Some escaped with only their lives.<br /><br face="Comic Sans MS"></span> <span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"> Finally, by millions, Jews were hunted, imprisoned and killed. You know all this from the <a href="http://www.thoenebooks.com/bookList.asp?series=Zion%20Covenant">Zion Covenant books</a>. I lived it. </span><br face="Comic Sans MS"> <span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"> </span><br face="Comic Sans MS"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;">Now, today, I hear the words and know the deeds of this Barack <span class="il">Obama</span> and I know that he is a "gifted," convincing, fellow. He is telling you how bad you have it and saying to Americans he is their messiah and the answer to all problems. </span><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;">The propaganda machine loves <span class="il">Obama</span>. The power of the media is much greater than in my childhood; a frightening thought.<br /><br face="Comic Sans MS"></span> <span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"> But here is TRUTH: of all men in the US government this <span class="il">Obama</span> has most strongly encouraged and urged the on-going slaughter of the unborn…"the useless mouths" of America. This slaughter is performed in the name of "A woman's reproductive rights." <br /><br face="Comic Sans MS"></span><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"> In the land of my birth, the Holocaust all began with the first step of legalized abortion. Abortion was ENCOURAGED by a downturn in the world economics. </span><br face="Comic Sans MS"> <span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"> Scripture teaches us the survival of a nation is not about the economy. The only nation which will stand is the nation which follows the Lord and the true teachings of scripture. <br /><br face="Comic Sans MS"></span> <span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"> I warn you, my dear American friends, with love in my heart and with my last breaths that no man or woman, Protestant or Catholic, can remain in God's favor or blessing if they vote for this <span class="il">Obama</span>. This is a man who voted four times to leave tiny babies who survived abortions to die! <br /><br face="Comic Sans MS"></span> <span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"> I know many devout American Catholics in my life and many who have never voted for the Republicans because of tradition. Now I say that you who are Catholic must not follow after this man <span class="il">Obama</span> who is gifted in his words but NOT speaking the TRUE WORDS OF OUR LORD OR THE CHURCH!<br /><br face="Comic Sans MS"></span> <span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"> You cannot be a true Catholic Christian and vote for <span class="il">Obama</span>. To vote for him is to vote for continued infanticide. To Protestant Christians, I say, you are not a Christian if you support the slaughter of the unborn! <br /><br face="Comic Sans MS"></span><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"> Christianity and abortion are spiritually impossible companions. </span><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;">Protestants and Catholics MUST UNITE in this battle. The victory must be overwhelming!<br /><br face="Comic Sans MS"></span><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"> Do you feel you cannot vote for Mr. McCain and Mrs. Palin, who are for the LIFE of the unborn and handicapped? If you cannot support these leaders, then for the sake of your soul, I, who have seen the spiritual destruction of many good people, Protestants and Catholics, urge you NOT TO VOTE for <span class="il">Obama</span> or anyone who does not support protection of LIFE! <br /><br face="Comic Sans MS"></span><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"> For all those American politicians who have the chance to change the course toward destruction, I who have been witness to national and worldwide tragedy, urge you protect those in your society who are the most helpless. Publicly deny your support of <span class="il">Obama</span>. According to 2 Chronicles 7:14 you must turn your life around for the sake of your soul and your country! <br /><br face="Comic Sans MS"></span> <span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"> To those politicians who use "FAITH" to get votes while they follow the path of destruction, I must speak this warning: "God will not be mocked."<br /><br face="Comic Sans MS"></span> <span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"> If you, Christian, can vote, and if you can encourage others to vote, then you must VOTE FOR LIFE. </span><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;">In the judgment of heaven, there is no other choice but LIFE and protection of the innocent for a Christian. </span><br style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"> <br style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;">I am thankful to <a href="http://www.thoenebooks.com/">Bodie and Brock</a> for letting me be heard once more. They agree with history and with the Truth of scripture. Most of my generation is gone now. You who are taking control of the world have a fight ahead of you as the memory of our peril dims. I have heard and listened closely to the voices of Sarah Palin and John McCain, and my spirit bears witness that they speak truth and are the true Hope-Bearers of your generation. Sarah is a true Deborah. Pray for her and her family and also for John McCain. You must all remember what happened to us and not repeat the same mistake of apathy. </span><br face="Comic Sans MS"> <br style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;">If I cannot write to you again I pray we will meet in heaven and you will tell me I helped you encourage others to do the right thing for the sake of your soul and for the nation. </span><br face="Comic Sans MS"> <br style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;">God bless you,</span><br style="font-family:Comic Sans MS"></b><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;"><b>Lori Kalner</b></span></span>Marihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01299211292424328666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907634979041256981.post-55804933339246725292012-03-18T00:47:00.002-07:002012-03-18T00:52:06.706-07:00Chain of Obedience!<h6 class="uiStreamMessage" ft="{"type":1}"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span class="messageBody" ft="{"type":3}">"I fear the conditioned masses which would put me to death at the drop of a hat if the right order is given.

Unfortunately, the budget signed by Governor Brown contains a sales tax provision that compels us to terminate this program for California-based participants effective immediately. It specifically imposes the collection of taxes from consumers on sales by online retailers - including but not limited to those referred by California-based affiliates like you - even if those retailers have no physical presence in the state.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">We opposed this new tax law because it is unconstitutional and counterproductive.</span> It was supported by big-box retailers, most of which are based outside California, that seek to harm the affiliate advertising programs of their competitors. Similar legislation in other states has led to job and income losses, and little, if any, new tax revenue. We deeply regret that we must take this action.<br /><br />As a result of the new law, contracts with all California residents participating in the Amazon Associates Program will be terminated today, June 28, 2011. Those California residents will no longer receive advertising fees for sales referred to Amazon.com, Endless.com, MYHABIT.COM or SmallParts.com. Please be assured that all qualifying advertising fees earned on or before today, June 28, 2011, will be processed and paid in full in accordance with the regular payment schedule.<br /><br />You are receiving this email because our records indicate that you are a resident of California. If you are not currently a resident of California, or if you are relocating to another state in the near future, you can manage the details of your Associates account here. And if you relocate to another state after June 28, 2011, please contact us for reinstatement into the Amazon Associates Program.<br /><br />To avoid confusion, we would like to clarify that this development will only impact our ability to offer the Associates Program to California residents and will not affect their ability to purchase from www.amazon.com.<br /><br />We have enjoyed working with you and other California-based participants in the Amazon Associates Program and, if this situation is rectified, would very much welcome the opportunity to re-open our Associates Program to California residents.<br /><br />Regards,<br />The Amazon Associates TeamMarihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01299211292424328666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907634979041256981.post-44767302880144401962011-06-06T10:01:00.000-07:002011-06-06T10:52:55.947-07:00Arrested for feeding the hungry!Last week <a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-weight: bold;" href="http://revelationsoftruth.blogspot.com/2011/05/arrested-for-innocently-dancing.html" target="_blank">I wrote about a group of people being arrested for innocently dancing at the Jefferson Memorial</a>.<br /><br />Today I learn<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ITayfx_K-Rk/Te0Prw42mtI/AAAAAAAAAWw/oYjR57eA-TI/s1600/homeless-sign.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 174px; height: 136px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ITayfx_K-Rk/Te0Prw42mtI/AAAAAAAAAWw/oYjR57eA-TI/s400/homeless-sign.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615161554933029586" border="0" /></a>ed of three people arrested for feeding the homeless!

Matthew 25:35-36<br /><br />Notice God's word says, "I was hungry and you gave me something to eat"<br /><br />Notice also that God's word does not say, "I was hungry and you had a permit and so you gave me something to eat." Nor does it say, "I was hungry along with LESS THAN 26 other people so you gave me something to eat."<br /><br />RIDICULOUS!! The paper this law is written on is wasted paper and a wasted tree. This is proof of the depraved minds of those who actually thought up this law! Acts of kindness are now ILLEGAL!<br /><br />Like someone posted (sarcastically), "Good thing these folks were stopped! Victims should only be fed by authorized government feeders to protect their status as victims. <b>All responsible citizens should immediately report unauthorized acts of kindness to their local authorities</b>."<br /><br />So feeding the homeless in Orlando is ILLEGAL, while public acts of sodomy and perversion in San Franciso (gay "pride" parade) is LEGAL!

So out of obedience to Him and in a spirit of love, I put pen to paper and wrote the following letter on September 11, 2010, the 9th anniversary of 9/11.<br /><br />(I originally posted it as a "note" on <a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);" href="http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=158467787497857&id=1445661453&ref=mf" target="_blank">my facebook wall</a>.)<br /><br />(<a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);" href="http://revelationsoftruth.blogspot.com/2010/09/update-on-my-thoughts-on-911.html" target="_blank">Update</a>)<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br /></div><br /><span style="font-size:180%;">My Thoughts on 9/11</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pFJBGxAypaA/TJeQGsUS05I/AAAAAAAAAVA/8kQXgPqAIgk/s1600/9-11+3.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 162px; height: 189px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pFJBGxAypaA/TJeQGsUS05I/AAAAAAAAAVA/8kQXgPqAIgk/s400/9-11+3.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519038313015726994" border="0" /></a>I remember September 11, 2001. It was a beautiful sunny day in California that began like so many others. How quickly things can change. I soon got a phone call from a friend urging me to turn on a television. "What? Why? What's going on?" I asked. She nervously answered, “We're being attacked!"<br /><br />"We're being attacked!" I will never forget hearing those words.<br /><br />I saw on TV when the second plane hit the tower. I saw people jumping out of the windows way up high, having to choose between dying by fire, or, dying by jumping out 50+ stories high. I could only imagine the fear and desperation they must have experienced those last moments alive. My heart broke and I began to cry.<br /><br />9/11 became the Pearl Harbor of my generation! Everything I knew about the world changed in that moment. I was in shock for days. It was a defining moment, no doubt. A moment that divides your life into two parts: "before this" -- and -- "after this".<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pFJBGxAypaA/TJeQGSRd-cI/AAAAAAAAAU4/S5OKpOxLceY/s1600/9-11+2.JPG"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 248px; height: 189px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pFJBGxAypaA/TJeQGSRd-cI/AAAAAAAAAU4/S5OKpOxLceY/s400/9-11+2.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519038306024552898" border="0" /></a>There was nothing but rubble and debris where the Twin Towers once proudly stood. Then there was the Pentagon and Flight 93 and those words of one man, "My fellow Americans, let's roll” (Later President Bush repeated those words as we went to war). Soon, there followed by the images of the husbands and wives looking for their spouse, children for their parents and families of the dead hoping to find their loved ones alive in the immense rubble. I remember news clips of final conversations and tearful goodbyes.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pFJBGxAypaA/TJeQF0_zr_I/AAAAAAAAAUw/Z6VuHGbEXQs/s1600/9-11+1.JPG"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 152px; height: 188px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pFJBGxAypaA/TJeQF0_zr_I/AAAAAAAAAUw/Z6VuHGbEXQs/s400/9-11+1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519038298165850098" border="0" /></a>On September 12, 2001 Patriotism soared like I had never seen before. Red, white, and blue everywhere I looked. American flags all around. T-shirts saying "We will never forget 9-11-01" I admired and (still do) our brave firefighters. What amazing men! The stories of their bravery on that fateful day are forever seared in my brain. The volunteers flying in from all over the United States to help in any way they could. Locally everyone was donating money and blood. Churches filled to the brim as people's faith was shaken to the core. The way Americans united after 9/11 was a testament to the resolve and tenacity of the American Spirit! I was proud of my fellow Americans!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pFJBGxAypaA/TJeQG7EwefI/AAAAAAAAAVI/yi9SmY_jfJ0/s1600/911report.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 160px; height: 120px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pFJBGxAypaA/TJeQG7EwefI/AAAAAAAAAVI/yi9SmY_jfJ0/s400/911report.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519038316977093106" border="0" /></a>As time went on, families of the victims came forward demanding answers from our government. As did the rescue personnel at Ground Zero. Then, after a long time, came the "official" 9/11 Commission Report. The official report however left many questions unanswered and even created many new ones.<br /><br />Rumors of 9/11 being an "inside job” started growing by the day. President Bush spoke and seemed to mock what he called "conspiracy theories". Those who disagreed with the "official report" were labeled "extremists". I trusted President Bush. Why would he ever be involved with anything that cost the lives of over 3,000 American lives? What did our government have to gain by this? An excuse for war? They certainly got it, didn't they? <strong>But is there more?</strong> I mean, they could have gone to war a different route that didn't involve the 9/11 disaster. Like I said, <strong>I believed President Bush, but I look back now, and the truth is I WANTED to believe him more than I actually believed him. The desire to want to believe overpowered that little nagging feeling to ask more questions. Ultimately I was not ready, nor caring enough, to ask more questions at that point in my life because I wasn't ready, or willing, to accept the answers those questions might reveal.</strong><br /><br />The patriot Act was soon passed. Sounds good right? Sounds "patriotic", but is it? As I studied the Patriot Act, I was very uncomfortable with the lost freedoms or potential of lost freedom for our safety. How much “freedom" are we willing to sacrifice in the name of "safety"? Benjamin Franklin is quoted as saying <strong>"Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."</strong><br /><br />Flying became a small nuisance as airports adapted all kinds of new "safety” regulations. Most people, myself included, said, "I don't mind the inconvenience as long as we are kept safe." Because of 9/11 many assumed that whatever regulations were already in place were simply not enough. Is that really accurate though? How many airplanes OTHER THAN 9/11 were being "hijacked"? How many anywhere else in the world? <strong>I know I was afraid that 9/11 could be repeated were it not for the additional "safety" measures, BUT, that fear is only justified as long as the "official report" is the whole truth, the only truth.</strong><br /><br />As time has gone on I have seen more and more measures taken, laws passed, regulations put in place, and privacy-invading cameras installed everywhere for our "safety". We do not always connect the dots and see that all of these new "protections" for our "safety" can only take place at the expense of our freedom. How "free" are we really? It is mind-blowing what freedoms a scared populace will give up in order to feel "safe"! Someone once said, <strong>“The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants."</strong> This "for our own good" mentality has now gone into high gear with the Obama administration.<br /><br />Today marks the 9 year anniversary of 9/11. Where are we now? Are we "safer” and freer than we were pre- 9/11 or are we growing ever closer to a police state? Our government told us that radical Muslim terrorists successfully overcame four out of four flight crews with only box cutters, hijacking the planes that killed over 3,000 lives. (Never mind that SEVERAL of the Hijackers turned up ALIVE after 9/11). That these terrorists were the ONLY ones responsible for 9/11. That we were caught by surprise. That we did not have enough "safety" measures in place to protect the American people. <strong>Is all that REALLY the Truth or is it the only so-called "truth" that we are willing to accept? If our government lied to us, what would that mean? How much of what we perceive to be our reality would come crumbling down?</strong><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pFJBGxAypaA/TJeQHYFpmFI/AAAAAAAAAVQ/gxhgDBl1adQ/s1600/wtc-7.gif"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 204px; height: 182px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pFJBGxAypaA/TJeQHYFpmFI/AAAAAAAAAVQ/gxhgDBl1adQ/s400/wtc-7.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519038324765464658" border="0" /></a>Most “accepted" the official story because they were told the hijackers were all Muslim extremists, far removed from mainstream American culture. (Much easier to blame those extremists far away, than our own leaders amongst us killing their own people). The fanatic beliefs of the hijackers made their success against incredibly overwhelming odds seem more "believable". The official story contains many inconsistencies-- A few inconsistencies may be believable, but hundreds? The official story has, at this point, been challenged by thousands of highly credentialed technical experts and scholars, from engineers and medical doctors to firefighters and attorneys. Yet you will never hear this from mainstream media.<br /><br />I once blindly accepted that the government had already told us the "truth” and anything outside of that was "Conspiracy theories." Never mind that "Conspiracy theories" come about when what people are being told, doesn’t line up with what they are seeing, with the facts. Then those who dare reveal the truth, or seek truth and then share it are labeled “nut jobs," "wackos," "truthers," and "extremists."<br /><br />By being a Christian who believes in the U.S. Constitution, the right to bear arms, free speech, closed borders, small govt. / more freedom for the individual, and the Bible, well, in some "liberal" circles, I am considered an "extremist" or a "tea-bagger".<br /><br />Labels like “conspiracy theory" or "extremist" are purposely done to diminish credibility, to cause division among people. But does labeling negate the fact that it may be True or that the person labeled an "extremist" is revealing Truth? Of course not, but it takes thinking for ourselves to comprehend that.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pFJBGxAypaA/TJePCCBmaMI/AAAAAAAAAUA/yayW28AjRgY/s1600/book-+Christian+Faith+and+the+Truth+Behind+911.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 152px; height: 187px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pFJBGxAypaA/TJePCCBmaMI/AAAAAAAAAUA/yayW28AjRgY/s400/book-+Christian+Faith+and+the+Truth+Behind+911.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519037133431924930" border="0" /></a><strong>"Many people who know or at least suspect the truth about 9/11 probably believe that revealing it would be so disturbing to the American psyche, the American form of government, and global stability that it is better to "pretend to believe" the official version.

Far more devastating to the American psyche, the American form of government, and the world as a whole will be the continued role of those who brought us 9/11"</strong> -David Ray Griffin, Author of 'Christian Faith and the Truth Behind 9/11: A Call to Reflection and Action<br /><br />As a follower of Jesus Christ, I put my faith in Him and not in this world. I am not the same person I was on 9/11/2001. I have since committed my life fully to Christ and thus, my whole life has changed. In my walk, I have Fasted and Prayed and in doing so, have become more "connected" to the spiritual and see things now more through "spiritual" eyes than through "worldly" eyes. Does that change how I view the whole world in general and 9/11 specifically? ABSOLUTELY!<br /><br /><strong>As a Christian, I have to continuously remind myself to lean on Him and not on my own understanding. Shouldn't this apply to my thoughts on 9/11 as well?</strong> Is simply accepting what I have been spoon-fed by a “worldly government" through their "official report" as being the REAL Truth about 9/11 leaning on my own understanding?<br /><br /><strong>Who was really behind 9/11? Was it simply some terrorist attack committed by foreigners that caught our country and government by surprise? Or, could it possibly be a much more sinister event that was actually planned and the ones behind it weren't foreign at all, but our own leaders?</strong><br /><br />Islam was involved, but they were NOT the only ones, nor the primary ones, just the convenient scapegoats.<br /><br />The Bible clearly says, <strong>"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places." Ephesians 6:12</strong><br /><br />Who are the rulers of this Dark Age? Are we living in a world controlled by Satanists? The Bible says we are. Do you believe the Bible?<br /><br />How does 9/11 play into that? Was 9/11 a Satanic Ritual? Could it possibly be the biggest satanic human sacrifice ever done?<br /><br />We are living under an occultic atmosphere. There is a satanic agenda being played out. Revelations speaks clearly of this. Many do not see it (or want to see it) because we are living in a time of epidemic Spiritual Blindness and even Spiritual Apathy.<br /><br />I know many Conservative Patriots, even Christian ones, who while acknowledging that the Obama administration is bad (it no doubt is), see the Bush administration as good. They even dismiss any Truth about 9/11 as nonsense because the government under Bush would NEVER have done that, right? They don't realize that the Pilot has changed not the flight plan. (Spiritual Blindness)<br /><br />Many are intelligent, educated people, but remember <strong>“...the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God." 1 Corinthians 3:19</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pFJBGxAypaA/TJeKhedO9xI/AAAAAAAAAT4/2LsycA7EJIw/s1600/seek911truth.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 181px; height: 142px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pFJBGxAypaA/TJeKhedO9xI/AAAAAAAAAT4/2LsycA7EJIw/s400/seek911truth.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519032176081827602" border="0" /></a>I wonder if they would be more open to the Truth of 9/11 had it happened under the Obama administration. Even so-called Christians literally "demonize" other Christians for daring to share the Truth about 9/11, calling them "truthers"! Why must we label each other? How is that biblical? <strong>How many so-called Christians have actually gotten down on their knees and prayed out to God asking Him to open their hearts to the Truth, for revelation from Him regarding 9/11? What happened that day was a defining moment that forever changed our lives, our country, and the world. Don't you think it is time YOU pray for revelation of Truth about this? "And then ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." John 8:32 KJV</strong><br /><br />Remember, it was the 9/11 rescuers and the victim's family members who started the 9/11 Truth Movement! Who better than those who lost the very people they love to not be satisfied with the lies we have all been fed about 9/11? And then to be labeled “wackos" and "crazy” and to say the Truth you are revealing is a "load of crap"? Ignorance abounds! Maybe you would be more demanding of TRUTH had it been your own flesh and blood, you think?<br /><br />Had in the past, someone shared with me what I just shared here; I may have thought they were a little crazy. However, I have learned to not jump to conclusions anymore. Instead I #1- Pray for discernment and for God to reveal the Truth to me and # 2- Do some research on my own and not just believe whatever I am being told for they may have ulterior motives or be misinformed themselves.<br /><br />You do not have to believe a word I said here, however your unbelief does not negate the Truth I wrote here. (God and Jesus or Satan does not stop existing just because you don’t believe!)<br /><br />Many do not see the truth of 9/11 because at the root of it is Satanism and Spiritual deception. There is much spiritual blindness going on! The facts are all there and YET they still CANNOT SEE! ---SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS!<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pFJBGxAypaA/TJeI95dqV4I/AAAAAAAAATw/qTLwvjGqhlY/s1600/jesus-praying.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pFJBGxAypaA/TJeI95dqV4I/AAAAAAAAATw/qTLwvjGqhlY/s200/jesus-praying.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519030465344460674" border="0" /></a><strong>So I ask all of you to please pray! (Time is short) and ask God to open your eyes and give you revelation about this. And please do some research, BUT be prepared to be shocked. Nothing in THIS world is what it seems. Our only HOPE and ETERNAL TRUTH is in Jesus Christ! THIS world is NOT our home, indeed it never has been.<br /><br />I dedicate this to the 3,056 people who lost their life on 9/11. I especially dedicate this to the courageous people who gave their lives to save that of another (the greatest act of love): The 343 Bravest from The New York City Fire Department, The 60 Finest from The Port Authority, and the New York City Police Forces!<br /><br />I think perhaps, the best way to honor the beautiful lives of the men, women, and children who lost their lives on 9/11 is to learn the Truth about what REALLY happened! Don't you?<br /><br />God bless you all and I pray you may have the courage to seek the TRUTH!</strong><br /><br />A word of warning:<br />For those of you who think the things of God are foolishness, well in God's Word there is written quite a bit about you: <strong>"But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." 1 Corinthians 2:14 KJV</strong><br /><br />In other words: A person who isn't spiritual doesn't accept the teachings of God's Spirit. He thinks they're nonsense. He can't understand them because a person must be spiritual to evaluate them. 9/11 was a satanic act done under the veil of darkness. Unless you are seeing the links and videos below with "spiritual" eyes you will be blind to the Truth. You will see it all as nonsense! Others may know that 9/11 was an act of evil but yet not "see" the whole Truth.<br /><br />Christians can be blinded as well, as I talked about earlier, which is why it is so important to pray for discernment and revelation. Pray before you watch the videos below and visit the sites.<br /><br />Finally, I thought, and most importantly, I prayed, before I shared any of this. I KNOW how controversial this is, the uncompromising Truth always is though. My faith compels me out of compassion and love for my fellow human beings to share the Truth. <strong>"God did not give us a spirit of cowardice but rather a spirit of power and love..." 2nd Timothy 1:7</strong><br /><br />If you call me a liar, crazy, imbecile or whatever other names you come up with because of what I wrote, I don't care. And the name calling says A LOT more about YOU than it ever will about me. Calling me names doesn’t change the Truth! Who are you serving when you are spewing hateful words? I am simply a messenger. (Yes, I know, the messenger always gets killed.) But you know what, it is NOT about me. <strong>"For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it." Matt 16:25 KJV</strong><br /><br />I realize I may lose facebook friends over this, that's ok, go ahead and delete me (the Truth, remember, cannot be "deleted"). <strong>I am not planning on telling My Creator when I meet Him in Heaven, "Well I wanted to shine a light to the darkness God, but I didn't want to lose friends over it."</strong><br /><br />Jesus Christ promised <strong>"If the world hates you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you" -John 15:18 KJV</strong><br /> <br /> <strong>'FIAT JUSTICIA ET PEREAT MUNDUS'<br /> Latin for 'Do what is right, come what may.</strong><strong>'</strong><br /><br />Marisela Gutierrez<br />September 11, 2010<br /><br />Videos:<br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwZbZBn5z2g&feature=related%EF%BB%BF" target="_blank">Supernatural Deception of 9/11 (1 of 3)</a><br /><a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_6hjdl-t6Q&feature=related" target="_blank">Supernatural Deception of 9/11 (2 of 3)</a><br /><a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtGYci6Kb50&feature=related" target="_blank">Supernatural Deception of 9/11 (3 of 3)</a><br /><br />Websites:<br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);" href="http://www.cf911truth.org/" target="_blank">http://www.cf911truth.org</a><br /><a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);" href="http://christiansfor911truth.org/" target="_blank">http://christiansfor911truth.org</a><br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);" href="http://www.911truth.org/article.php?story=20060501003040487" target="_blank">http://www.911truth.org</a> (9/11, American Empire, and Christian Faith)<br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);" href="http://www.freedomfiles.org/war/pentagon.htm" target="_blank">http://www.freedomfiles.org</a> (Pentagon Crash--updated June 29, 2010)<br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);" href="http://911review.com/myth/hijackers.html" target="_blank">http://911review.com</a> (Alleged hijackers)<br /><br />Facebook Group:<br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);" href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christians-for-911-Truth/110572905635137" target="_blank">Christians-for-911-Truth</a> Whose goal is to provide resources to fellow Christians who have been demonized for speaking out against the "official story" on 9/11.

This one is from years ago, when I was enjoying a yogurt on Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley.<br /><br />Suddenly, a large exotic bug appeared and started dancing around. Its iridescent colors caught the sun and glistened like a rainbow. A crowd formed to watch its antics in shared delight.<br /><br />Out of nowhere, a lunatic pushed through the crowd. I'd seen this guy before -- paranoid, menacing. His rage toward the bug slit me like a knife. The insect was getting attention, people were happy, and he was out for revenge.<br /><br />The man bolted through the crowd, possessed. He jumped on the bug, over and over and again. People gasped. A child cried. And then, as quickly as it began, it was all over.<br /><br />Silently, numbly, the crowd dispersed. The man, now triumphant, smiled hideously. I threw away the yogurt, which was now rendered tasteless.<br /><br />I'll never forget the look of blind hatred on that man's face. It communicated this: "I want what you have."<br /><br />And: "If I can't have it, I'll destroy it."<br /><br />This random experience flashed in my mind recently when I was in a Berkeley bookstore. With my newfound interest in religion, I wanted to peruse that section.<br /><br />After hunting down a clerk to unearth the tiny religion area, I perused the shelves. In actuality, the area should have been called the Anti-Christianity Section.<br /><br />While there were respectful tomes on the other religions, the Christianity section was a virtual pillorying of Jesus.<br /><br />Every book denounced him, mocked him, or reinvented him as something entirely new. There were books debunking the Gospel, with each author sounding gleeful, like a wicked child.<br /><br />Now, I understand that some people reject religion. But why the venom? The contempt, the need to torpedo Christ?<br /><br />This campaign against Christianity isn't confined to an obscure Berkeley bookstore. And it didn't begin with Obama. There's been an active crusade for decades to try to destroy Jesus with Alinksy-like tactics: freeze the subject, humiliate, marginalize.<br /><br />But while demonizing Christianity is nothing new, it's reached a fever pitch since Obama came on the scene. It's no wonder: Obama sent out clear messages from the start.<br /><br />Obama's first interview as president was for an Arab broadcaster. Then he covered up a cross at Notre Dame and was a no-show on the National Day of Prayer.<br /><br />Lately, it seems like open season on Christians. The Pope has been subjected to unprecedented condemnation, with atheists Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens plotting ways to have him arrested.<br /><br />Comedy Central plans a cartoon show mocking Jesus. On the TV show Curb Your Enthusiasm, Larry David does something so offensive that I will only offer you a link.<br /><br />In the past I would simply put on my therapist cap with people like these. I'd probe their childhood for evidence of maltreatment. I'd label them as narcissists and antisocial personalities.<br /><br />But now I have a different worldview, one that goes much deeper than just the psychological. Now I understand that this world is infused with the Divine. And that there is a competing force, one that is the polar opposite.<br /><br />I now have a word for that creepy feeling deep down in my gut. And I finally understand the source.<br /><br />Now I see what's really behind the campaign to banish religion; it's to render us utterly helpless. Because after all, without God, what protection is there in this brutal world?<br /><br />Sadly, grievously, I look out on my country. I see the corruption and undoing. I witness the ever-growing tsunami of hate that threatens everyone in its path.<br /><br />And I see citizens oblivious to the dangers because they're mired in the slime of moral relativism. They have no language, no hiding place, no possible way to shield their children in the deep and darkest nights.<br /><br />And I see that lunatic, the one with the crazy, hollow eyes. But he's not just on Telegraph Avenue.<br /><br />He's far and wide: in the hallowed halls of Congress, in the institutes of higher learning, in basement rooms where small men troll.<br /><br />If you listen closely, you can hear that same diabolical cry: "I want what you have.<br />And if I can't have it, I'll destroy it."<br /><br /> " The lunatic is on the grass.<br /><br /> The lunatic is on the grass.<br /><br /> Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs.<br /><br /> Got to keep the loonies on the path.<br /><br /> The lunatic is in the hall.<br /><br /> The lunatics are in my hall.<br /><br /> The paper holds their folded faces to the floor<br /><br /> And every day the paper boy brings more.<br /><br /> And if the dam breaks open many years too soon<br /><br /> And if there is no room upon the hill<br /><br /> And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too<br /><br /> I'll see you on the dark side of the moon."<br /><br /> (from "Brain Damage" by Pink Floyd)<br /><br /><br />A frequent <a href="http://www.americanthinker.com/" target="_blank">American Thinker</a> contributor, <a href="http://www.americanthinker.com/robin_of_berkeley/" target="_blank">Robin</a> is a licensed psychotherapist in Berkeley and a recovering liberal.

Like in all matters of life, when we need the Truth, the real answers, we have to go to our final authority in all matters, the Bible. One of the greatest weapons of Satan is division. The enemy has figured out every way imaginable to divide men. Since virtually the beginning of the human experience, man has fallen into Satan's trap of division based on the color of a person's skin or their ethnic origin. While racism has always been an issue in this country, the fact is it is an issue in every country. This divisive mindset is not unique to the United States. Sadly, in some form it is practiced everywhere on the planet.<br /><br />Since the racially incendiary remarks by President Barack Hussein Obama's pastor of 20 years, Dr. Jeremiah Wright became such a big part of the Presidential campaign, it sparked a national dialogue on race. During the campaign, President Obama gave a speech on race that was lauded by many. Those who made such a big deal over his speech were most likely swayed by the fact he was dealing so openly with a taboo subject few will talk about. However, his speech was hollow, self serving, and nothing more than a political move to do damage control because of his close association with Dr. Wright.<br /><br />President Obama's race speech did NOTHING to help people or this nation deal with this scourge, since the victory over racism isn't going to come from the flowery words of a politician whose only motive and goal is to get elected President. No my friend, if people and this nation are going to truly get victory over racism, it has got to come from an understanding of what God says about this issue and by people who are willing to follow what God says in the Bible.<br /><br />If President Obama had intended to really take a leadership role on the race issue, educate the nation and provide real answers for how to get victory over this inhumane way people treat others who are different than they are, then he would have told people what God says about racism. God says MUCH about this issue, but President Obama didn't find it worth including even one verse of Scripture.<br /><br />*THIS IS WHY I TELL YOU SO OFTEN THAT IT WILL NOT BE A POLITICIAN, BUT A MAN GOD HAS CALLED TO LEAD PEOPLE IN THE WAYS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS!!!<br /><br />The fact is, there is only one race, the human race! People may have white skin, black skin, brown skin, yellow skin, red skin, or any other color skin, they may have different ethnic backgrounds, but they are all part of the same race, the human race! The Bible says that ALL MEN are created in the image of God. God created all men equal. I tell you frequently that Satan is the great perverter. It is Satan, not God, who seeks to divide men by their skin color, ethnicity, financial means, and any other way you can dream up to divide people. God created men equal to live in harmony with one another. It is Satan who introduced division into the human experience.<br /><br />In God's plan of redemption, there is no division. John 3:16 says that God so loved the world, ALL men. It says that WHOSOEVER BELIEVES. That is a universal call to ALL MEN regardless the color of their skin or where they live. In 1 John 2:2, it talks about how Jesus laid down his life for EVERYONE. Everyone means ALL MEN, the entire human race. This satanically inspired way we have of dividing ourselves through racism, prejudice, and discrimination all make a mockery of what Christ did on the cross. He faithfully and obediently went to that cross to die for the sins of ALL MANKIND.<br /><br />That is why all of the black pastors I know repudiate the false black liberation theology Dr. Jeremiah Wright has been teaching for over 3 decades. Wright is actually a student of James Cone who made this perverse theology popular in the 60s that teaches the Bible is the basis for blacks to be liberated from social, political, economic, and religious bondage. President Obama is a liar when he states he never heard the types of comments made by Dr. Wright the media has been playing, since that is the foundational teaching of the black liberation theology Wright has been preaching in Chicago for over 30 years.<br /><br />The fact is the Bible DOES teach liberation theology, LIBERATION FROM SIN!!! It was not written to people with dark skin, but to all people regardless of their skin color. We are all part of the human race, which means we are all born with the sin of Adam, we all sin during our life, and that is why Jesus went to the cross. He gave His very life on that cross as the payment for the sins of all mankind, that through faith in Him men might be find freedom from their sins. There is nothing in the Bible to support this false black liberation theology Dr. Wright preaches, since the liberation theology of the Bible is about the freedom from sin for ALL MEN!<br /><br />You also have the Biblical example of Jesus during His earthly ministry. Again, racism is not a new phenomena to the United States in our brief 232 year history. Forms of racism have been part of the human expedience since the very beginning. Jesus commanded us in John 13:34 to love each other as He loves us. He used people of other ethnic backgrounds often in His parables. One of the most powerful is the story of the Good Samaritan. If you remember, the Jewish religious leaders passed by the man who had been robbed and beaten and laying on the side of the road, leaving him to die. It was the Samaritan, the non-Jew, who honored God by stopping and ministering to the needs of the injured man. Don't forget, it was Jesus who told his followers to make disciples of EVERY NATION, reaffirming the value of all men.<br /><br />I love you and care about you so much. If President Obama had wanted to give a real speech on racism to move hearts and lead people in this issue, THIS is the message he should have delivered. It would have been a message from God's Word that laid the Biblical foundation all men are created equal and those who seek to divide men by the color of their skin are not of God, but of Satan! It would not have been the self serving, politically crafted words to try and help him weasel out of his 20 year association with a pastor and church that preaches and teaches division based on the color of a person's skin. Dividing men by skin color, ethnicity, are the works of the devil.<br /><br />Those who truly seek to serve and follow the Lord are not looking to divide men but unite them. A true follower of Christ understands that God created all men equal, that we are all part of the human race. Racism, prejudice, and discrimination are NOT of God, since we are hurting someone God created and loves and Jesus died for! Sadly, 11 am on Sunday morning is the most segregated hour of the week in this nation. That is truly a shame since the one sanctuary from racism should be the church. Yet sadly, most churches don't lead the culture, they allow the culture to lead them. So rather than modeling what God says about this issue, in far too many churches, they perpetuate this ungodly attitude men have for other men who look different than them.<br /><br />They better wake up since when we die, and stand at the gates of Heaven, there won't be a line for whites, or a line for blacks, or a line for Asians, or a line for Hispanics, or a line for those from the Middle East, just like there won't be a line for Catholics, or Baptists, or Methodists, or Pentecostals. No my friend, when you take your last breath there will only be two lines. One for those who have put their faith in Jesus Christ and one for those who have rejected Christ. The Bible proclaims those who reject Christ will be cast into the flames of hell for all eternity, and those who know Jesus will be welcomed into their eternal home with God their Creator in Heaven. At that moment, Galatians 3:38 will be realized, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus!"<br /><br />In His love and service, Your friend and brother in Christ, Bill Keller<br /><a href="http://liveprayer.com/" target="_blank">http://liveprayer.com/</a>Marihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01299211292424328666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907634979041256981.post-31468372047028882732010-07-13T09:52:00.000-07:002010-07-13T10:21:53.409-07:00HOW TO CONTROL PEOPLE<span style="font-family:arial;">In case you didn't know, </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">bureaucratic or governmental obsession with "control" IS demonic by nature!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">"For ours is not a conflict with mere flesh and blood, but with the despotisms, the empires, the forces that control and govern this dark world--the spiritual hosts of evil arrayed against us in the heavenly warfare."

Here are a few tips on how smart people can control other people. If any of this rings a bell - Well, then wake up!<br /><br />The first pr<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pFJBGxAypaA/TDyaXP9RMOI/AAAAAAAAARo/Nr_isAoIwN4/s1600/bureaucratic_control.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 182px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pFJBGxAypaA/TDyaXP9RMOI/AAAAAAAAARo/Nr_isAoIwN4/s200/bureaucratic_control.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493435369696342242" border="0" /></a>inciple of people control is not to let them know you are controlling them. If people knew, this knowledge will breed resentment and possibly rebellion, which would then require brute force and terror, and old fashioned, expensive and not 100 % certain method of control.<br /><br />It is easier than you think to control people indirectly, to manipulate them into thinking what you want them to think and doing what you want them to do.<br /><br />One basic technique is to keep them ignorant. Educated people are not as easy to manipulate. Abolishing public education or restricting access to education would be the direct approach. That would spill the beans. The indirect approach is to control the education they receive.<br /><br />It’s possible to be a Ph.D., doctor, lawyer, businessman, journalist, or an accountant, just to name a few examples, and at the same time be an uneducated person. The difference between true education and vocational training has been cleverly blurred in our time so that we have people successfully practicing their vocations while at the same time being totally ignorant of the larger issues of the world in which they live.<br /><br />The most obvious symptom is their absence of original thought. Ask them a question and they will end up reciting what someone else thinks or thought the answer was. What do they think Well, they never thought about it. Their education consisted of learning how to use the library and cite sources.<br /><br />That greatly simplifies things for the controller because with lots of money, university endowments, foundations, grants, and ownership of media, it is relatively easy to control who they will think of as authorities to cite in lieu of doing their own thinking.<br /><br />Another technique is to keep them entertained. Roman emperors did not stage circuses and gladiator contests because they didn’t have television. We have television because we don’t have circuses and gladiator events. Either way, the purpose is to keep the people’s minds focused on entertainment, sports, and peripheral political issues. This way you won’t have to worry that they will ever figure out the real issues that allow you to control them.<br /><br />Just as a truly educated person is difficult to control, so too is an economically independent person. Therefore, you want to create conditions that will produce people who work for wages, since wage earners have little control over their economic destiny. You’ll also want to control the monetary, credit, and banking systems. This will allow you to inflate the currency and make it next to impossible for wage earners to accumulate capital. You can also cause periodic deflation to collapse the family businesses, family farms, and entrepreneurs, including independent community banks.<br /><br />To keep trade unions under control, you just promote a scheme that allows you to shift production jobs out of the country and bring back the products as imports (it is called free trade). This way you will end up with no unions or docile unions.<br /><br />Another technique is to buy both political parties so that after a while people will feel that no matter whether they vote for Candidate A or Candidate B, they will get the same policies. This will create great apathy and a belief that the political process is useless for effecting real change.<br /><br />Pretty soon you will have a population that feels completely helpless, and thinks the bad things happening to them are nobody in particular’s fault, just a result of global forces or evolution or some other disembodied abstract concept. If necessary, you can offer scapegoats.<br /><br />Then you can bleed them dry without having to worry overly much that one of them will sneak into your house one night and cut your throat. If you do it right, they won’t even know whose throat they are cutting.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/notes.php#!/note.php?note_id=142342409110395" target="_blank">On facebook</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.scionofzion.com/" target="_blank">http://www.scionofzion.com/</a>Marihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01299211292424328666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907634979041256981.post-78480968498218515362010-06-15T17:04:00.000-07:002010-06-15T17:26:19.043-07:001599 Geneva Bible - Patriot's Edition<h1 class="ha"><span id=":ve" class="hP">A Bible the ACLU Does NOT Want You to Read</span>!<br /></h1>This Bible is amazing!

Minutes before Soraya's horrific stoning to death, her aunt promises Soraya that she would tell her daughters and the world the truth about her life and death-- "the world MUST know"<br /><br />I remember one part where Soraya said she was not afraid of death but of dying and the pain of the stoning. She barely cried, even when she learned of her impending death. She was in a state of shock, yet maintained strength and grace, especially for her children. It was not until the second stone was thrown, by her husband, with such brute force that when it hit her forehead, her head and upper body swung back hard, as far as possible, and then came forward again with blood gushing down, that she began to cry. It was then, in that moment, in the intense pain, when she fully realized the reality of what was happening to her, what she was about to experience and die from. It was then that I began to cry.<br /><br />Soraya REALLY existed and really lived. She was a good woman and mother. She didn't deserve to die like that.

Myth for SB 1070 (Arizona Immigration Law)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pFJBGxAypaA/S90jQLESOMI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/KaaFe-lMeDo/s1600/Immigration.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 218px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pFJBGxAypaA/S90jQLESOMI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/KaaFe-lMeDo/s400/Immigration.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466564283453290690" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Myth No. 1: The law requires illegal immigrants to carry identification that they weren't already required to carry.</span><br /><br /><br />Reality: On the contrary, the law simply penalizes illegal immigrants who fail to carry the registration documents that federal law already requires them to keep on their person. These federal crimes (8 United States Code Section 1304(a) or 1306(e)) have been around since 1940. The Arizona law simply adds a layer of state penalty to what already was a crime under federal law.<br /><br />The SB1070 provision in question reads:<br /><br />"For any lawful contact made by a law enforcement official or agency of this state . . . where reasonable suspicion exists that the person is an alien who is unlawfully present in the United States, a reasonable attempt shall be made, when practicable, to determine the immigration status of the person."<br /><br />The majority requests for documentation will take place during the course of other police business. As for U.S. citizens, the law does not require them to carry any identification whatsoever. Indeed, the law cannot possibly be applied against U.S. citizens; only an alien can be found guilty under the Arizona statute. (See News Hour clip 3:45 seconds in)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Myth No. 2: The law will encourage racial profiling.</span><br /><br /><br />Reality: The terms of the act make clear that such profiling cannot occur. Section 2 provides that a law enforcement official "may not solely consider race, color, or national origin" in making any stops or determining an alien's immigration status. In addition, all of the normal Fourth Amendment protections against racial profiling still apply.<br /><br />Moreover, the law actually reduces the likelihood of racial profiling by forcing police officers to contact the federal government to verify a person's immigration status when they suspect a person is an illegal alien. It already was permissible for police officers across the country to make arrests for violations of federal immigration law where reasonable suspicion existed that a violation had occurred. Now, in Arizona, officers will have to make a phone call to Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) 24/7 hot line to confirm that any aliens in their custody really are present unlawfully. Officers can no longer proceed based solely on their own assessment of a person's immigration status. In this way, the Arizona law takes any consideration of race out of the equation - strengthening the protections against racial profiling.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Myth No. 3: The law will require Arizona police officers to stop and question people.</span><br /><br />Reality: Here again, critics of the law are failing to read it carefully. The law only kicks in when a police officer already has made a "lawful contact" with a person, such as stopping him for breaking another law. The most likely contact is during the issuance of a speeding ticket. The law does not require the officer to begin questioning a person about his immigration status or to do anything the officer would not otherwise do.<br /><br />Only after a stop is made, and subsequently the officer develops reasonable suspicion on his own that an immigration law has been violated, is any obligation imposed. At that point, the officer is required to call ICE to confirm whether the person is an illegal alien.<br /><br />The Arizona law is actually more restrictive than federal law. In Muehler v. Mena (2005), the Supreme Court ruled that officers did not need reasonable suspicion to justify asking a suspect about their immigration status, stating that the court has “held repeatedly that mere police questioning does not constitute a seizure” under the Fourth Amendment).Marihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01299211292424328666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907634979041256981.post-15018033446263091282010-04-26T11:46:00.000-07:002010-04-26T11:57:53.585-07:00Tea Party -- April 15, 2010I recently attended a Tea Party in southern California on April 15, 2010. <br /><br />Tea Party participants are white...AND black, hispanic, asian,and all races.

The hit movie is about a paraplegic war vet who is brought to another planet inhabited by a humanoid race. Those from Earth find themselves at odds with each other and the local culture.</p><p>But <a style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 0, 51);" title="Andrew Klavan" href="http://www.andrewklavan.com/" target="_blank">Andrew Klavan</a>, who has been involved with successful movies starring Clint Eastwood, Michael Douglas, and other superstars, says the message from <em>Avatar</em> is disturbing.<br /><br />"It romanticizes this primitive life and worship of nature, that in real life has not been very good for people," he explains. "It depicts our military, our Marines, as lunatics out to destroy primitive civilizations, which is the opposite of the American military."<br /><br />Klavan encourages those who do see the movie to keep things in proper perspective.<br /><br />"When you see these creatures sleeping on leaves that fold up and cover them like blankets, when you see them using plants that light up, when you see them [employing] almost a virtual Internet that works through a tree, remember those are all things that come to us through electricity, technology, invention, through mankind striving up and away from the kind of primitive life the film represents," he says.<br /><br />Klavan's latest book, <em>The Long Way Home</em>, illustrates the journey of a morally and ethically sound man who must rely on his principles and faith as he finds himself the target of a jihadist plot.<br /></p><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.onenewsnow.com/Culture/Default.aspx?id=869216" target="_blank">OneNewsNow</a>Marihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01299211292424328666noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907634979041256981.post-67925061069545933472010-01-08T20:44:00.000-08:002010-01-08T20:48:45.274-08:00Barack Obama and backwards profiling!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pFJBGxAypaA/S0gJ7B1ywmI/AAAAAAAAAQE/VeDNfljv1qs/s1600-h/BOCartoo.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 309px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pFJBGxAypaA/S0gJ7B1ywmI/AAAAAAAAAQE/VeDNfljv1qs/s400/BOCartoo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424596660878754402" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; border-collapse: separate; font-family: Geneva; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); word-spacing: 0px;"> <div>"The more corrupt the state, the more it legislates." - Tacitus<br /></div></span></div>Marihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01299211292424328666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907634979041256981.post-7644485279733977692009-10-12T18:51:00.000-07:002009-10-12T19:00:03.129-07:00California SB 54 and SB 572<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pFJBGxAypaA/StPeCLERkSI/AAAAAAAAAP4/J5RTXldKW0M/s1600-h/YESon8.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 202px; height: 185px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pFJBGxAypaA/StPeCLERkSI/AAAAAAAAAP4/J5RTXldKW0M/s400/YESon8.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391897307804438818" border="0" /></a>Our elected leaders have let us down again.<br /><br />Proposition 8 became necessary as an initiative of <strong>the people</strong> because the California Legislature and Courts showed a consistent disregard for the people’s will. And late last night, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger again joined with the Legislature in dismissing the will of the people. Under the cover of darkness and at the eleventh hour before his constitutional deadline, Schwarzenegger signed Senate Bills (SB) 54 and 572 into law. It is apparent that “the people” must bring about the necessary reform, as many of our so-called representatives ignore us.<br /><br />SB 54 mandates that all same-sex marriages that took place in other states or countries on or before November 5, 2008 will be legally recognized <u>as marriages</u> in California. Compare and contrast this new law with Article 1, Section 7.5 of the California Constitution, which you placed into law by voting for Prop 8: <em>Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California. </em><br /><br />SB 572 creates an annual day of commemoration – geared toward public schools and educational institutions – to celebrate Harvey Milk, the first openly homosexual person elected to office in a major city. <span style="font-weight: bold;">You may remember that during the Prop 8 campaign those pushing for homosexual marriage proclaimed that school children would not be forced to learn about homosexuality and same-sex marriage. But now, every school district in California is encouraged to honor Harvey Milk specifically for his sexual orientation.</span><br /><br />Governor Schwarzenegger, instead of acting on behalf of children and the vast majority of parents who want their children protected from indoctrination in the public schools, has instead folded his tent to the pressures of special-interest. After threatening to veto all of the bills on his desk if he could not reach consensus on the state’s water crisis, our governor decided that he couldn’t “beat them” so he “joined them.”<br /><br />What are the good people of California to do? We are to continue in coalition, finding more and more like-minded citizens who will stand with us for the traditional family and the protection of children. We must prepare for the continued battle, influencing at the neighborhood level against legislation and special interest groups, and even our governor, to transform the make-up of our representative leadership.<br /><br />Proposition 8’s success was a huge shot across the bow, throughout the United States, of what can be accomplished through strategic alliances. We know what can be done, and we will move forward, with your help. <a href="http://link.smartcommunicator.net/?135-354-365-44023-2067" target="_blank">Please consider a contribution to the Prop 8 Legal Defense Fund</a> to help us continue the legal fight to preserve marriage as between one man and one woman.<br /><span class="gI"><span email="info@protectmarriage.com" class="gD" style="color: rgb(0, 104, 28);"><br />Ron Prentice, Executive Director, ProtectMarriage.com</span></span><br /><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica;"><a href="http://link.smartcommunicator.net/?135-354-365-44023-2066" target="_blank">www.protectmarriage.com</a></span></p>Marihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01299211292424328666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907634979041256981.post-50137724424120931612009-10-11T08:14:00.000-07:002009-10-11T21:39:49.820-07:00'Nobel Peace Prize' is now officially a joke!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pFJBGxAypaA/StH7-ZuL11I/AAAAAAAAAPw/fXBFQigIPLc/s1600-h/obama+valentine+cartoon.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 151px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pFJBGxAypaA/StH7-ZuL11I/AAAAAAAAAPw/fXBFQigIPLc/s200/obama+valentine+cartoon.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391367278414255954" border="0" /></a>I used to actually think the "Nobel Peace Prize" actually meant something!<br /><br />Clearly, it is more of a political thing than it is a "peace" thing.<br /><br />45 years ago Martin Luther King (when the Nobel Peace Prize actually meant something) was given that recognition--I can see why! But Obama? Ridiculous! Obama 'ain't' no Martin Luther King!<br /><br />Recently Al Gore got it for telling us the planet is hot! Wow, what a genius! What Al Gore forgets to mention is that his own electric bill is over $30,000 a year. I guess he's not so worried about global warming after all.<br /><br />Neither am I though, as <span style="font-weight: bold;">an "inconvenient truth" is a convenient lie! </span><br /><br />Back to Mr. O<br /><br />Peggy Noonan writes in the Wall Street Journal, "This is an award for not being George W. Bush". The Times of London has said the award to Obama was an obvious slap in the face of President Bush. <p>And what did Bush do to deserve the enmity of the Nobel Committee? <b><br /></b></p><p>Ronald Kessler of Newsmax.com sets the record straight, George W. Bush "toppled a man who had killed 300,000 people and liberated 50 million people. </p><p> Because of Bush, Saddam's regime no longer inflicts torture on Iraqis by having electric prods attached to their genitals or by giving them acid baths. It no longer drills holes in their ankles and skulls. It no longer leaves them naked in refrigerators for days. It no longer cuts out their tongues and cuts off their ears. Nor does it force Iraqi men to watch gang rapes of their wives and sisters. </p><p> Because of Bush, Afghan women can now attend school. They are free to go out in public without being accompanied by a man. They are allowed to hold jobs. </p><p> Moreover, because of the $15 billion Bush sent to combat AIDS, deaths in Africa are down dramatically. For that reason, despite claims that America's moral standing in the world has eroded, Bush's approval rating in African countries has stood at 80 percent or higher. </p><p> Those are real accomplishments worthy of a Nobel Prize. In giving the award to Obama, the Nobel Committee's effort at burnishing the president's image backfired by highlighting the fact that he has accomplished <span style="font-weight: bold;">nothing</span> beyond delivering oratory." </p><p>Clearly, I am not alone in how I feel about this! Thankfully, people around the world, like this brave reporter: <a href="http://worth-reading-blog.blogspot.com/2009/10/barack-obamas-peace-prize-starts-fight.html" target="_blank">Barack Obama's peace prize starts a fight</a> (watch very short video!) are pointing out the absurdity in the whole matter!<br /></p>Many agree that" Obama's Nobel Prize Makes A Mockery Of the Award"<br /><br /><a href="http://worth-reading-blog.blogspot.com/2009/10/obama-awarded-nobel-peace-prize-for.html" target="_blank">Obama Awarded Nobel Peace Prize???

One of the observations I've made over these past 40-some years is that loyalty has become a very rare commodity. Growing up, I was taught that being loyal was an important part of who you were as a person. Just like I was taught to always tell the truth, to help others, to be kind, being loyal was an important element in making up the fabric of a person's character.<br /><br />The longer I live, the more I see loyalty missing in the character make-up of most people. Today, being loyal is not a component of who most people are. This has become a contributing factor to the breakdown of our society, but even more important, the breakdown in the lives of many who claim to know Jesus..<br /><br />A great example of loyalty from God's Word is David's loyalty to King Saul, even when Saul was trying to kill him! Now that my friend is a tremendous test of your loyalty to someone. Will you still honor them, be loyal to them, even if they are trying to kill you? Sadly, this type of loyalty is very rare in today's world.<br /><br />Men and women who are in relationships are no longer loyal to their boyfriend, girlfriend or other friends. They think nothing of cheating on someone they are in a committed relationship with. Sadly, this mentality carries over into marriage which is why you have husbands and wives without conscience committing adultery, not even thinking about or caring about the consequences of their sin and how many lives it will hurt and even destroy.<br /><br />Because so many children grow up today in a variety of living arrangements, many in blended families, there is not even loyalty to those in your own family any longer. These children grow up without ever being taught the importance of loyalty and sadly have parents and step-parents who model behavior that demonstrates no loyalty to anyone. So it is no wonder why these children grow up never learning how to be loyal, even to those in their own family.<br /><br />Of course, if people aren't loyal to their boyfriend, girlfriend or friends, to their spouse who they vowed loyalty to before each other and God for life, to their own family, it is no wonder why employees are no longer loyal to their employer, and likewise, employers are no longer loyal to their employees. 40 years ago a person would have 2-3 jobs in their lifetime. Now, they are likely to have 2-3 jobs before they get out of college and dozens more throughout their working life.<br /><br />The real danger is, this lack of loyalty that exists in most people also carries over into their faith. I mean if you think about it, it only makes sense. If you aren't loyal to anyone in your earthly relationships, how can you expect to be loyal to the Lord in your spiritual relationship? Just like a person can without conscience go out and cheat on their wife, or betray a brother, or scheme against an employer or employee, that same person who has accepted Christ can turn their back on Him and willingly sin and live in rebellion to God's Word!<br /><br />Listen to me carefully. If you aren't loyal to someone you are in a committed relationship with as a boyfriend or girlfriend or as a friend, if you aren't loyal to your spouse who you vowed loyalty to for life to, if you aren't loyal to your own flesh and blood, if you aren't loyal to the place you earn your living or the people who help you earn your living, WHY DO YOU THINK YOU WILL BE LOYAL TO JESUS???<br /><br />Our failure in being loyal really boils down to one thing.....selfishness! We put ourselves above everyone else, including Jesus! The reason a person cheats on their boyfriend or girlfriend is that they are selfish. The reason a person cheats on their spouse is that they are selfish. The reason a person is not loyal to those in their family is that they are selfish. The reason a person is not loyal to their employer or employee is that they are selfish. The reason a person is not loyal to the Lord is that they are selfish. We aren't loyal because we are selfish!<br /><br />Loyalty requires a commitment to someone or something other than ourselves. It often costs to be loyal. We want the benefits of a relationship, a marriage, having a family, our job, knowing Jesus, but we don't want to pay the price of having that relationship, being married, being part of a family, having a job, or our faith in Christ. We all can be loyal when things are going good, but the true test of loyalty is during times of trouble.<br /><br />The disciples of Jesus were all loyal when great crowds came to hear Him preach, when He was sharing His wisdom, when He was healing people and raising the dead. But where were they when the Romans came to take him in the Garden of Gethsemane? Nowhere to be found. Running away in fear for their lives. Denying they even knew who He was.<br /><br />I love you and care about you so much. My word for you today is simple. BE LOYAL! It is a lost human characteristic in most people's lives in the year 2009, but one that every follower of Jesus MUST HAVE! Being loyal is part of what being a follower of Christ is all about. We are to be loyal to the Lord and to our faith. The fact is, if we are loyal to the Lord then we will be loyal in other areas of our life as well. In our relationships, in our marriage, to our family, to our employer or employees.<br /><br />I will be praying for you that God will open your heart to really hear these words today. I pray that you will do an assessment of your life and how loyal you are to your friends, to a boyfriend or girlfriend, to your spouse, to your family, to your employer or employees. Ask yourself if you are really a loyal person in your earthly relationships.<br /><br />Finally, assess how loyal you are to Jesus and to your faith. Do you do your best each day to live in obedience to Christ and to His Word? As a follower of Jesus, are you loyal to Him even when things aren't going so well in your life? It is easy to be loyal when the blessings are flowing, but what about when you are in the midst of some major battles? Despite the challenges you face are you still loyal to the Lord?<br /><br />When I think of Jesus, I think of loyalty. Jesus promised that He would never leave us nor forsake us.

Rosenbloom, M.D.<br /><br /><br />Mr. Barack Hussein Obama has gone back on the trail in an attempt to sell his health care reform to the nation. Mostly of the attendees that have been shown at these town hall meetings are hand-picked and sympathetic.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mr. Barack Hussein Obama continues to repeat the same falsehoods regarding health care reform, each needs to be addressed specifically. </span>I hope to address more in the future.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pFJBGxAypaA/SrPTTeDYZLI/AAAAAAAAAOY/Vf_pReHkOHA/s1600-h/obamalying.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pFJBGxAypaA/SrPTTeDYZLI/AAAAAAAAAOY/Vf_pReHkOHA/s400/obamalying.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382878311076095154" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">1. We need health care reform.</span><br /><br />ANSWER: [ This is a Lie ] We do not need health care reform. We have the best health care system in the world. We need health insurance reform.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">2. Free market health insurance has caused our current problem.</span><br /><br />ANSWER: [ This is a Lie ] It is the government that has caused the current problem. We have not had free market health insurance in this country since 1965. [Since the de facto coup d’etat of the US Government with the Kennedy Assassination by the Rockefellers, Rothschilds / Federal Reserve owners, and the Johnson War on Poverty ] It is not possible to consider our system of medical payment free market when the government controls $.60 of every dollar spent on health care.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">3. The evil and greedy health insurance companies have caused prices to</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">skyrocket.</span><br /><br />ANSWER: [ This is a Lie ] Again, it's the government that has caused prices to skyrocket. Medicare and Medicaid are the 800 pound gorilla and insurance companies are the fleas on the gorilla. Nothing can be done by private insurance companies, that hasn’t been done by Medicare and Medicaid. The federal government opens the door and the private insurance companies follow. It is the [ intentional ] government manipulation of the free market, that has caused our current health insurance problem. The out of control medical costs in Britain and Canada , as well as in Massachusetts and other states that have tried government health care, prove this point.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">4. Nearly 50 million Americans are without health care.</span><br /><br />ANSWER: [ This is a Lie ] Nearly 13 million Americans are without health insurance. No one in the United States is without health care. Government regulations prohibit patients from being turned away from hospitals, which must provide medical care to anyone. The huge number that the Obama administration has used is highly inflated.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">5. A government option will lower costs and improve quality of care.</span><br /><br />ANSWER: [ This is a Lie ] A government option will increase costs and reduce quality of care. In every instance so far government involvement in medical services has caused prices to increase. Medicare spending has increased at a rate greater than 10 times that which was projected. Medicare and Medicaid will be broke in less than nine years. Adding another entitlement program will cause economic disaster. The Congressional Office of Management and Budget has stated that the president's plan is unaffordable. Further, the necessary rationing in order to even begin the program will reduce quality of care.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">6. If you like your insurance and your doctor you can keep them.</span><br /><br />ANSWER: [ This is a Lie ] The same things were said at the inception of Medicare. Medicare was supposed to be a supplemental insurance plan for retired people. It now covers the disabled as well and those over the age of 65, who are now ineligible for any other type of primary medical insurance. The government option will become the only option. Therefore, it's not an option and in the end hospitals, doctors, and all health care companies will be working directly and only for the government.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">7. Government medical insurance is more cost efficient.</span><br /><br />ANSWER: [ This is a Lie ] Government medical insurance is less efficient. The government, by force of law, transfers administrative costs to the private sector. Hospitals and doctors' offices must assume the burden of administration under threat of criminal penalty. This unfunded administrative burden transferred to private individuals and private insurance is then added to the cost of the supposedly free-market healthcare system.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">8. The government option is necessary in order to prevent loss of insurance</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">by individuals with medical problems.</span><br /><br />ANSWER: [ This is a Lie ] Government regulations make it mandatory for hospitals to treat patients regardless of their ability to pay. The government can certainly pass a simple regulation making it illegal for medical insurance plans to be canceled due to illness on the part of the insured. This would be a simple solution but of course would not increase government control over our lives.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">9. The government option would ensure treatment for sick individuals who</span> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">would otherwise have lost health care insurance. It would prevent lifetime </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">limits on medical care.</span><br /><br />ANSWER: This is blatantly untrue. There are definitive limits to Medicare that are not being publicized. For example, a review of Medicare regulations shows it will pay up to a maximum of 90 days in the hospital for each medical incident. After that, a patient must be in a rehabilitation facility for 60 days in a row in order for Medicare to begin another cycle of payment. Similarly, there are limits on most other Medicare services. While private medical insurance may have a total lifetime limit on the amount that can be spent, there is almost never a limit on the number of days in the hospital.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">10. A government option will not result in rationing.</span><br /><br />ANSWER: [ This is a Lie ] The major government options already in existence employ rationing every day. Prohibitively difficult preauthorization, statements of medical necessity, convoluted and complicated paperwork, and often impossible to meet requirements result in rationing on a huge scale. Furthermore, delay in payment, denial of payment for services already rendered and other tactics reduce access to medical care on a widespread basis. The government may not call this rationing but it is an insidious form of rationing that will be an integral part of any government plan. Medicare misuses and abuses its funding and is guilty of literally stealing from hospitals and physicians.<br /><br />As an example of this thievery, due to a change in the corporate status of my practice I was required to apply for a new national provider identification number (NPI) in March of this year. Within several weeks, without exception, all of the private insurance companies had registered the number and were paying on claims. After five months and exhaustive work of over 140 hours by my office staff Medicare and Medicaid had still not paid on a single claim. Finally, on August 14, Medicare made their first payment on claims that were five months old. Yet, if we do not build Medicare within three months of the date of service, Medicare will not pay us at all. Government regulation and control permeates the entire medical system.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">11. A government option will simplify the payment for medical services.</span><br /><br />ANSWER: [ This is a Lie ] The government has always made things more complicated and expensive. This is part of their rationing system. The government has a habit of requiring new provider numbers every couple of years that must be used for all claims, including private insurance claims. When these are instituted, payment can be delayed for as long as six months. To see how "simple" the federal government makes medical claims, what follows are my required identification numbers.<br /><br />UPIN # G16766<br />OMAP # 079496<br />Medicare # R0000BLCGY (PTAN) OLD<br />Medicare # R1473 04<br />(PTAN) **NEW** R147303<br />Railroad Medicare # 110162014<br />NEW Tax ID # 264520277<br />OLD Tax ID # 911768627<br />DEA # BRxxxxxxx (Hidden to prevent use)<br />Clia # 38D0933946<br />NPI # 1306924691 (individual)<br />NPI Group # 1235371485<br /><br />Every point Mr. Barack Hussein Obama has made regarding his health plan is either a gross misrepresentation or an outright lie. The purpose of this plan is to ensure dependence on government and a financial windfall for his cronies, including trial lawyers, and has nothing to do with concern about the cost of medical care or about the health or lives of American citizens.Marihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01299211292424328666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907634979041256981.post-43575851398925144682009-09-12T23:26:00.001-07:002009-09-12T23:32:09.558-07:00Thousands march in D.C. to protest Obama spending<div class="storytitle" id="StoryTitle"><span style="font-family: arial;">People EVERYWHERE are finally WAKING UP and seeing Obama for the liar that he is!

Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency. Demonstrators chanted "enough, enough" and "We the People." Others yelled "You lie, you lie!" and "Pelosi has to go," referring to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.</p><p>Throngs of people waved U.S. flags and held signs reading "Go Green Recycle Congress" and "I'm Not Your ATM." Men wore colonial costumes as they listened to speakers who warned of "judgment day" - Election Day 2010.</p><p>Richard Brigle, 57, a Vietnam War veteran and former Teamster, came from Paw Paw, Mich. He said health care needs to be reformed _ but not according to President Barack Obama's plan.</p><p>"My grandkids are going to be paying for this. It's going to cost too much money that we don't have," he said while marching, bracing himself with a wooden cane as he walked.</p><p>FreedomWorks Foundation, a conservative organization led by former House Majority Leader Dick Armey, organized several groups from across the country for what they billed as a "March on Washington."</p><p>Organizers say they built on momentum from the April "tea party" demonstrations held nationwide to protest tax policies, along with growing resentment over the economic stimulus packages and bank bailouts.</p><p>Armey and other speakers directed their ire at Pelosi - Armey took a photo, telling the crowd he wanted to be able to prove to her they were there.</p><p>"If it's necessary, we'll come back here next year," he said.</p><p>Many protesters said they paid their own way to the event - an ethic they believe should be applied to the government. They say unchecked spending on things like a government-run health insurance option could increase inflation and lead to economic ruin.</p><p>Terri Hall, 45, of Starke, Fla., said she felt compelled to become political for the first time this year because she was upset by government spending.</p><p>"Our government has lost sight of the powers they were granted," she said. She added that the deficit spending was out of control, and said she thought it was putting the country at risk.</p><p>Race also became an issue when a black Republican leader denounced African-American politicians that she said had an "affinity" for socialism.</p><p>"I'm outraged prominent black politicians use the race card" to cover up their failed policies, said Deneen Borelli.</p><p>Lawmakers also supported the rally. Rep. Mike Pence, chairman of the House Republican Conference, said Americans want health care reform but they don't want a government takeover.</p><p>"Republicans, Democrats and independents are stepping up and demanding we put our fiscal house in order," Pence, of Indiana, told The Associated Press.</p><p>"I think the overriding message after years of borrowing, spending and bailouts is enough is enough."</p><p>Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., and Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., also spoke at the rally. DeMint said he'd had enough of "Alice in Wonderland" politicians promising more programs at the risk of financial disaster.</p><p>"The president has warned us if we disagree with him he's going to call us out," DeMint said. "Well, Mr. President, we are out."</p><p>Norman Kennedy, 64, of Charleston, S.C., said he wants to send a message to federal lawmakers that America is "deeply in debt." He said though he'd like everyone to have free health care, he said there's no money to pay for it.</p><p>"We want change and we're going to get change," Kennedy said. "I want to see fiscal responsibility and if that means changing Congress that will be a means to that end."</p><p>Other sponsors of the rally include the Heartland Institute, Americans for Tax Reform and the Ayn Rand Center for Individuals Rights. Other scheduled speakers included actor Stephen Baldwin and C. Boyden Gray, who worked under the administration of George H.W. Bush.</p>Marihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01299211292424328666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907634979041256981.post-38110235376744169062009-09-08T00:15:00.000-07:002009-09-08T00:20:54.449-07:00Actual Court Statements--LOL!Court Statements<br /><br />Need a good laugh!?<br /><br />This is hilarious and remember, most of our politicians <span style="font-style: italic;">are</span> attorneys.<br /><br />These are from a book called "Disorder in the American Courts", and are things people <span style="font-style: italic;">actually</span> said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters that had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place.<br /><br />___________________________________________<br /><br />ATTORNEY: What was the first thing your husband said to you that morning?<br />WITNESS: He said, 'Where am I, Cathy?'<br />ATTORNEY: And why did that upset you?<br />WITNESS: My name is Susan!<br />___________________________________________<br /><br />ATTORNEY: What gear were you in at the moment of the impact?<br />WITNESS: Gucci sweats and Reeboks.<br />___________________________________________<br /><br />ATTORNEY: Are you sexually active?<br />WITNESS: No, I just lie there.<br />___________________________________________<br /><br />ATTORNEY: This myasthenia gravis, does it affect your memory at all?<br />WITNESS: Yes.<br />ATTORNEY: And in what ways does it affect your memory?<br />WITNESS: I forget.<br />ATTORNEY: You forget?
