For all his allure as an outsider, Canada-born Ted Cruz is in fact an insider playing a role similar to the one Barack Obama played back in 2008 when his handlers portrayed him as the hope and change candidate out of nowhere. Ted Cruz set out to be an elitist from the very beginning.

LinkedIn profile. She also served as an economic advisor for the Bush administration. In 2011, a Cruz campaign spokesman portrayed Heidi as “an expert on North American trade,” in other words she is savvy when it comes to globalist transnational trade deals like NAFTA, the single most destructive government move against the American worker in history. Remember Heidi Cruz is also a co-author of the North American Union which totally destroys American sovereignty, and she spent five years at the CFR drafting the NAU.

Gay Marriage
In June, 2015, Ted Cruz promised on NPR that opposition to gay marriage would be “front and center” in his 2016 campaign. In July, Cruz called the decision from the Supreme Court, “the very definition of tyranny.”
However, in December, it turns out that in a closed door fund-raiser, Cruz assured attendees that overturning gay marriage wouldn’t be among his top priorities as President. In this Politico article, you can listen to the secret tape from a New York fundraiser.
Immigration
When it comes to immigration, Cruz has had a hard-line response, until it looked like the political winds were shifting in favor of legalization, and a pathway to legal status for immigrants already within the country. On Fox News, in 2013, he changed his stance to earnestly support that legal pathway. The original video was scrubbed from the internet. However, watch this recent interview with Bret Baier asking Cruz about his flip flopping stances on amnesty.
CfG spent $3.3 million on attack ads against Donald Trump because he refused to donate $1 million to them, and for good reason.
In fact, for every hard line in the sand that Cruz has said he won’t cross, he’s gleefully stepped over when the politics of the moment called for it. Defunding Planned Parenthood? Not so much now. Repealing Obamacare? It’s the law of the land. Stopping the Iran deal? The deal got done. The list of hard stances Cruz has earnestly taken and subsequently abandoned goes on and on, just as he earnestly supports everything that he’s saying at that very moment. Like Machine Gun bacon, which still isn’t a thing in Texas.
If you need any further convincing of the scale of Cruz’s ego, you only have to check out the over 15 hours of B-Roll footage his campaign has made available on Youtube. The part where his mom gives him an epic eye-roll when he claims she spends hours a day in prayer over him is the best.
Another example of the legendary scale of Cruz’s ego, shortly after an inappropriate cartoon lampooning Ted Cruz for trotting out his young daughters as political props was published, he sent out an email decrying the attack against his family and asked for more money to help defend his kids.

Ted Cruz’s choice of Elliot Abrams to help craft his foreign policy is disappointing. Like his colleagues on Cruz’s council, Abrams is a leader in the neocon world, and he is a leader of what is perhaps the most powerful and pernicious group in the neocon network: the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).
Elliott Abrams, Speaking at CPAC, Feb., 2012
While the CFR is the most notorious of the associations of Abrams, it isn’t the only one. He is also a member (or former member) of the Center for Security Policy, Hudson Institute, National Endowment for Democracy, and many more.
It is likely that it is because of the membership of Abrams in the CFR that George W. Bush chose him to be his deputy national security adviser for Global Democratic Strategy, and that Ted Cruz has chosen to follow his advice on questions of foreign policy. Remember Iran-Contra? Abrams was pardoned for his involvement in same by George H.W. Bush.
In fact, it is probably the experience of all these people that compelled Ted Cruz to choose them to be his closest advisors.

RAFAEL EDWARD (TED) CRUZ IS NO CONSTITUTIONAL CONSERVATIVE
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. -James 1:8
It is unfortunate that Christians have so little discernment, or even the desire to research the presidential candidates, and they continue to believe everything they spew. Sadly, this is why our country has ended up in such a disastrous state. Truly, the church is a very big part of the problem.
Cruz Donors
Cruz Donors Accused of Money Laundering, Helping Tax Cheats, Pro-Amnesty Revisionist History,” Collins lists the nefarious donors to Cruz’s campaign and what they might want in return. Then he lists the sources for each of the donors. There is quite an amazing array of globalists who are behind Ted Cruz and buying his favors. Also see, In Accepting Campaign Cash, Cruz is Just Like Everyone Else, Which is Exactly the Problem.
Cruz on Trade Agreements
Cruz undoubtedly agrees with his friend, Henry Kissinger, on trade. (Kissinger was also part of the NAU Task Force like wife Heidi). On January 24, 2015, Cruz said that he is for “fast tracking” trade agreements and supports Obama doing same. Apparently Cruz cares little about American jobs, and even less about American sovereignty, but of course, this was before he decided to run for President.
Obviously Mr. Cruz has not seen the decimation of ranchers, family farms, and manufacturing in America since the passing of NAFTA! The loss of middle class jobs is astronomical. And our trade deficit tells a whole different story than Cruz tells.
The entire purpose of fast-track is for Congress to surrender its power to the Executive for six years. Legislative concessions include: control over the content of legislation, the power to fully consider that legislation on the floor, the power to keep debate open until Senate cloture is invoked, and the constitutional requirement that treaties receive a two-thirds vote. Legislation cannot even be amended.
By contrast, without fast-track, Congress retains all of its legislative powers, individual members retain all of their procedural tools, and every single line, jot, and tittle of trade text is publicly available before any congressional action is taken. [Link]
Once Cruz decided he was running for president and found out that the American people did not even want this horrid new trade deal, he backtracked on everything and actually voted against fast tracking. Can you say flip-flop? [Link], [Link], [Link]
In a procedural vote on June 23, the Senate passed fast-track once again, 60-38. More power was handed over to this dictatorial Marxist Muslim in our White House.
The Cruz Family

Cruz and the Phony Religious Right
While at Princeton, Cruz came under the tutelage of Professor Robert George. George is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations who poses as a conservative Christian while serving common core loving, UNESCO, and the CFR’s agenda. He was also a signatory of the Manhattan Declaration. George met regularly with Cruz and advised him on his senior thesis, an analysis of the history and meaning of the 9th and 10th amendments. [Link]
The September 8, 2013 Politico story from Stephanie Simon documented U.S. Senator Ted Cruz’ very close ties to pseudo-historian David Barton (one of the more influential national middle-aged leaders on the Christian right). Let’s take a quick look at David Barton.
It is important that we understand just exactly what Barton, Rafael Cruz, and other so-called evangelicals who support Ted Cruz, actually believe. Why? Because their doctrine is considered wholly unorthodox, and it is just a bit too close to Islam for me.
Link]
Barton’s endorsement of Cruz was widely seen as a big boost for his upstart campaign to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate. He also campaigned for Florida Senator Marco Rubio in 2010 and has long backed Texas Governor Rick Perry. Perry’s ties to the Dominionist, New Apostolic Reform were evident at his August, 2011 prayer fest, (organized by American Family Association, who are also Dominionists), prior to his announcement as a presidential candidate. [Link]
Mr. Barton, whose academic degree is in Christian Education from Oral Roberts University, has been labeled a biased amateur who cherry-picks quotes from history and the Bible. Both secular critics and Christian scholars have denounced Barton as a fraud who manipulates and misrepresents history to serve his political goals. In his book, The Jefferson Lies, he portrayed Jefferson as an orthodox Christian. Barton is considered a fraudulent historian and has been called out by actual conservative Christians. [Link]
In a shocking interview with Jon Stewart, in May of 2011, Barton is totally comfortable with Shariah law and claims it is compatible with our Constitution. (Scroll to 8:20 in the video)
On November, 2013, David Barton sat in for Glenn Beck on his program. He spent the entire hour on the Constitution, and on an Article V call for a convention. Glenn Beck and Ted Cruz are also both supporting a Constitutional Convention.
It is not surprising that David Barton is a Cruz supporter, as he and Ted Cruz’s father, Rafael Cruz, are dominionists who believe in the Seven Mountains mandate. This fits well with both Barton’s and Cruz’s belief systems wherein a Christian theocracy should rule. Here and here are definitions of Dominionism/Reconstructionism (D/R).
D/Rs wants a theocracy, leaders for America who are Christian Dominionists. They also want a theonomy. Critics see theonomy as a significant form of Dominion theology, which they define as a type of theocracy. Theonomyposits that the Biblical Law is applicable to civil law, and theonomists propose Biblical law as the standard by which the laws of nations may be measured, and to which they ought to be conformed. They also believe in the 613 Old Testament Mosaic Laws, other than a few dietary restrictions. They even believe in Old Testament stoning of law breakers/sinners, which Biblical Israel did very rarely. Reconstructionists provide the most enthusiastic constituency for stoning since the Taliban seized Kabul. Denial of future repentance and faith is quite obvious, which is what both Old and New Testaments teach.
For an overview of what D/R leaders like Dr. Gary North believe and have written, see part 21 of Enemies on the Left, False Friends on the Right.
Pastor Kevin Swanson Wants to Execute Homosexuals
Ted Cruz Will Have to Answer For His Own Rev. Wright, And Dodging the Question Won’t Cut It“…
On Friday, November 6, 2015 Cruz attended a campaign rally in Des Moines, Iowa, hosted by a Colorado pastor who frequently calls for putting gay people to death. The Pastor, Kevin Swanson, is well known for calling for Christians to execute homosexuals just the same as the Islamists do and Hitler’s Nazi Germany did. Pastor Swanson has accused the Catholic Church of wanting to “legitimize” child molestation saying, “The Catholic Church will never be able to legitimize pederasty.”
Cruz knew exactly who Pastor Swanson is and what he is all about, but denied any knowledge of the man’s past statements. Swanson has been calling for the execution of gays since as far back as July of 2012. Just as Westboro Baptist Church members do, Swanson believes, “Christians should hold up signs at gay weddings holding up the Leviticus verse, instructing the faithful to put gays to death because what they do is an abomination.” This is exactly the type of talk we hear from Islamists: “Kill those we don’t like or you are now people we don’t like.” Catholics do not believe in murdering homosexuals so this explains why Pastor Swanson hates the Catholic Church.
Cruz Supporter, Farris Wilks
prominent faith leaders (including David Barton, James Robison, and John Hagee) at the ranch of Texas tycoon, Farris Wilks. Wilks supports most of the phony rightwing groups in the secretive Council for National Policy. Farris and his brother Dan have donated $15 million to a super PAC which supports Cruz. Cameras and recording devices were not allowed at the Wilks ranch when Cruz spoke, so only God and attendees know what was said at the event. However, one might be able to get an idea of how Cruz views God’s role in American politics by reviewing his associations.
False teachers are an abomination and a stench in the nostrils of Jehovah God. They are anathema. They deny the Cross of Christ and repentance.
Watch the video. President Obama wasn’t crying during his announced executive actions on gun control – he was faking.
The production opens with Obama speaking of unalienable rights and the pursuit of happiness and how those high-schoolers at Columbine and first-graders at Newtown, Connecticut, were deprived, due to lost lives from gun violence. He pauses several seconds, stares, repeats the phrase, “first-graders.”
Obama then stares directly into the lens – right into the eyes of the American peoplee – as the cameraman hones in slowly for a tight, cropped shot of his face.
“And from every family who never imagined their loved one would be taken from their lives by a bullet from a gun,” he continues, pausing once again.
Suddenly, Obama raises a hand, extends a finger, wipes his left eye, and the American public is transfixed at this sudden show of emotion. Is Obama crying? Is he shedding tears?
Stop video. Rewind. And look.
Obama doesn’t just flick his finger at his eye. He wipes downward, across the lid, and then runs his finger along the whole bottom rim, following the line of the lashes. Then he blinks eight or so times.
But here’s the part to notice at this point: His eye is dry. Completely devoid of tears; completely lacking dampness. Yet Obama’s supposedly wiping away tears.
Click play.
Obma then pauses, lowers his head, and with hand cupped, thumb and forefinger bent, partially covers his mouth, once, twice – classic tells of lies – then shakes his finger for emphasis and speaks again..
“Every time I think about those kids it gets me mad,” he says, reaching up and wiping the corner of his other eye, the right one, with a quick motion.
Finally, a tear drops out of that right eye and slides down his cheek. He turns his head slightly and viola, at last, his left eye is now wet all around.
Mission accomplished. Camera’s got the shot. Time to move on to policy. Almost as fast as the tears came, they disappear, and Obama’s next words – after a mention of violence in Chicago — are scolds for those in Congress and on the streets of America to support his agenda.
“So all of us need to demand a Congress brave enough to stand up to the gun lobbies’ lies,” he says, wiping the dry space below his now-clear eyes again. “All of us need to stand up and protect our citizens. All of us need to demand governors and legislators and businesses do their part to make our communities safer — demand something better.”
He wraps with another wipe to the dry skin beneath his right eye.
Curtain fall. Exit, stage right. Bow and applause. So how’d he do it – hoow’d Obama manage the tearful performance?
The article “How to Cry – An Actor’s Guide to Crying and Tears” sheds some light, explaining some of the methods the professionals use to drop teardrops on demand, within 60 seconds or so. The first suggested method, tapping into “memory driven tears,” requires the actor to be “very in touch with his or her past” in order to select a prior experience that guarantees the waterworks. The second asks the actor to tap into personal fears, and dredge up tears that way.
“Both of [these] techniques … take a lot of imagination, emotional awareness and mosst of all, diligent practice,” the article states.
I think we can rule out those methods for Obama.
Next recommendation: “Be in the moment,” the article suggests. Given all the pauses for special effect, head dropping reflection and eye-blinking drama Obama underwent, no doubt he was feeling the moment – but was in the momeent enough?
“Unfortunately,” the article goes on, “there is a problem with the ‘Be in the Moment’ technique. It does not work in every play. What if you have to cry, but you personally don’t ‘feel’ it?”
Given the American public has not seen Obama cry before – not after the Newtown shootiings, or the Columbine murders, or the other gun-related acts of violence that he says makes him feel so despondent – it’s probably a safe bet Obama wassn’t feeling it as much as he humanly could. Not enough to drop real tears on demand, anyway. After all, he didn’t earn the label as a cold and detached leader for nothing. And he was making a pressure-filled nationally televised appeal to take unprecedented action for something he held dear to his legacy. So this brings up the tricks of the Hollywood trade.
“Although some movie stars utilize some of the techniques mentioned above, many actors opt for an easier solution: menthol,” the article concluded.
And that’s where my money rests – on a dab of Vicks vapor rub or similar menthol-lacced product slid along the lid and bottom of an eye. The pungent fumes, combined with Obama’s practiced “Be in the Moment” rhetoric and reflections, jumpstarted the tear in his right eye; the tears from his left, fueled by the actual sting of the menthol, then fell fast and unfettered.
“A menthol tear stick and menthol tear producers are tools of the film and theater trade,” the article states. “The stick version requires a sparse application under the eyes … [and] produce[s] immediate results.”
Like I said, watch the video. Pause. Rewind and play again.

The election campaigns are in full swing. Yet, have you heard a single candidate for President, or even for a lower office, mention the destruction of property rights or representative government to be a problem worth their time to address?
Our nation is being destroyed from within and candidates aren’t even discussing it. Worse, voters aren’t making them discuss these things, such as:
• The massive destruction of American industry by the EPA and other over-reaching government regulations — killing jobs by the thousands?
• The near complete usurpation of private property rights in communities and rural areas under the tiresome excuse of environmental protection? Who stands with the property owners as they see their American dreams shattered under the innocuous title of “community development?”
• The growing imposition of non-elected boards and regional governments that are fast replacing our elected representatives in making local community decisions — all powered by the imposition of federal grants that dictate poolicy, making most states and communities serfs of the federal government?
How do we make the policies of Agenda 21 a major issue in the upcoming election campaign? There’s only one way! Take it directly to the candidates, in front of their own audiences!
Several months ago I prepared three vital questions that would force candidates to focus on these issues. I then asked activists in communities across the nation to begin to pummel candidates with these questions. Make them answer. Embarrass them in front of their supporters when they couldn’t answer. I said then, that this would force the candidates to begin to study the issue of property rights so they wouldn’t be embarrassed again. And in that way, I argued, we could force the property rights issue into the forefront of this election.
Now, why did I believe that tactic would work? Because in the 2012 election, as the presidential candidates campaigned they were confronted with this question: “What about Agenda 21?” As the candidates struggled to answer, others from the audience would shout, “Call Tom DeWeese!” I was told this was done over and over again.
Finally, one day as I sat at my desk, the phone rang. It was one of Newt Gingrich’s policy staffers. He said, “We’ve been told to call you. Can you tell me about Agenda 21?” We chatted for about 30 minutes and he said, “That’s the best explanation I’ve ever heard, thank you.”
About a week later the Internet lit up as Newt Gingrich appeared on the Sean Hannity radio show when he said, “I want to talk about Agenda 21.” Then Gingrich mentioned Agenda 21 in one of the debates. And then he did it again in another appearance.
That’s why I thought in this year’s campaign we could put an organized effort together to really make it a major issue. We have so many more activists working in local communities now. We could force Agenda 21 onto the main stage of every debate and every appearance by the candidates. Finally, we would see this issue where it belongs, in the forefront of America’s discussion on future policy. Finally, under such a spotlight, we could stop its devastating destruction of our way of life.
The response to my effort was a deafening silence. A resounding thud! Nothing.
Why? What happened? Why didn’t any of our dedicated Freedom activists ask the questions? I took the blame. Perhaps I didn’t push the idea hard enough. Maybe my prepared questions were too detailed or clumsy.
Well, it’s not too late to start the effort. The campaign is really just getting down to the serious candidates. Today, as they have gotten comfortable in delivering their prepared talking points, now is the best time to knock them out of that comfort zone.
So, again, I’ve prepared three questions that go to the heart of the main assault of Agenda 21.
1. The attack on property rights.
2. The creation of non-elected regional councils and governments that destroy Locally-elected governments.
3. The forced use of federal grants to fund it all.
These are the issues and the tactics that are destroying the very fabric of our nation. These are the issues that must be openly discussed if this election is to mean anything. And these questions can be asked of candidates at every level including President, Congress, and state, county and local candidates. All must understand because Agenda 21 is being imposed at every level.
Ask these questions in a public forum and watch those clueless candidates squirm. Most won’t have an answer. In fact most won’t even know what you are talking about. They will try to evade or put some positive spin on it. But you will know. You will understand that such candidates have no idea how to even address such issues, let alone how to fix the problem. And you will have made your point. Do this to them at enough public gatherings and I guarantee they will start to look into the issue so they aren’t unprepared the next time.
It is time for our movement to take aggressive action against these slithering candidates. We need to descend on pubic forums. Organize. Place our people strategically around the room. And one by one begin to ask these questions. When they can’t answer, have someone else ask it again, and again. Let them know they had better give these issues some thought. Let them know that we are going to be there every time they appear in public. And let them know we are going to make them look like fools in front of audiences until they decide to actually talk about issues that mean something to real Americans.
Please pass these questions on to your fellow activists and friends and let’s start a revolution to force this election to finally mean something! Spread the word and make sure the candidates face these questions at every public event.
A word of caution – do not take this action alone. Organize with at least three friends. Have each choose one of these questions to ask the candidates. If you have more people to join you, then have the others prepared to do follow up questions if the candidates fail to answer.
If you have the time to read the entire statement I’ve provided before asking the question in bold — fine. If not, then just readd the questions. And if it is better for you to ask the question in a different way, perhaps tying it to a local issue, for example, then of course, ask the question in the way that works best for you. JUST BE SURE TO ASK THE QUESTIONS!
Here are the Three Questions
Property Rights Question:
1. Private property rights are under assault in communities and rural areas across the nation as local, state and federal governments move to enforce new planning development programs, particularly under the labels of Sustainable Developments or “Local Visioning.”
If elected, what actions will you take to protect the unrestricted right of use, enjoyment and disposal of private property by its owners?
Regional Government Question:
2. It’s a growing situation that local elected representative government is being overshadowed by the establishment of non- elected boards, councils, planning commissions and regional governments. These non-elected organizations are, in effect, taking government further away from the people as they deal in backrooms, unseen and unapproachable. Yet, while not elected by the people, they are creating and enforcing policy that affects private property, tax rates and much more.
If elected, what actions will you take to oppose the creation of non-elected boards, councils and regional government boards and help restore the rightful duty of elected representative government?
Federal Grant Program Question:
3. Communities across the nation are being pressured by federal agencies such as HUD, DOT and EPA to accept grants for creation of local “sustainable” projects that affect property right diminish local control. Taking federal grant money means federal control over the use and outcome of that money, regardless of what the voters select for their own communities.
If elected, will you take action to help stop the erosion of local control by ending these federal grant programs?
Ask these questions and, make the candidates focus on these vital issues. Force the discussion on the need to restore America’s property rights, resurrect locally elected representative government, and stop the federal dictatorship that comes through the grants.
In short, stand up before the candidates who seek to lead this nation, demand answers from them, and begin the process to TAKE AMERICA BACK!

“Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can…” John Lennon wrote these words for a fantasy song to glorify his understanding of the road to peace. John may not have understood the true origins of his thoughts, but we know it as Communism. Barack Obama knows that too and is determined to make sure you understand the consequences of “no possessions.” In government-speak it’s called the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rule.” (AFFH) Once it becomes a reality you will be able to fully appreciate John’s statement = imagine no possessions.” For if AFFH is alloowed to stand, the concept of private property is about to die in America.
The Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rule is federal enforcement of Sustainable Development Smart Growth Cities. Until now there was at least a pretense that Smart Growth development was a local process. That, of course, is what the American Planning Association (APA), Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) and your city council have assured citizens. Now, through the revelation of AFFH, it is clear that such development is a top-down dictatorship, overseen by the department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Announced July 16, 2015 by HUD Secretary Julian Castro, the excuse for the 377 page ruling is to promote and assure discrimination and achieve balanced and integrated living patterns for all citizens. To achieve that goal, AFFH is specifically designed to move people out of rural areas into mega cities and tightly control who may stay in reduced suburbs. Exactly as we’ve been warning about Smart Growth policy.
To achieve its goals, AFFH requires agencies and communities that apply for HUD grants to detail income levels, religion, color, and national origin of every single person living in every neighborhood of the community. They will then determine any imbalances and, if necessary, force a massive shift of people into such neighborhoods to achieve the desired balance. This is nothing less than social engineering!
Worse, the AFFH rule will effectively eliminate local government rule over development. Where once there was at least the pretense of local communities making their own decisions and could spend the HUD grants as they determined best for their communities, now, under AFFH, HUD will control those decisions to its satisfaction. And the local governments will be forced to comply. The result is the destruction of local representative rule. Communities must supply updates to HUD on the break down of its communities every five years to check on and assure progress.
So what does this mean to average American citizens – in plain English? It means the destruction of neighborhoods, loss of control of their own property and loss of property values. If government funded high rise apartment buildings are forced into neighborhoods of single family homes, the value of the properties will fall. It’s possible that, should a neighborhood find itself in a shortage of residents representing certain ethnic backgrounds or income levels, then a homeowner trying to sell their home may find they can only sell to someone representing that imbalance. Imagine the affect that will have on the already depressed real estate market.
For those who live in ethnic neighborhoods of their own choosing, being close to family and friends that share traditions and outlooks, it means being forced into neighborhoods where they are not wanted and where they do not want to be. It means a loss of freedom of choice and loss of the right to be secure in their home. In this day of constant accusations of racism for nearly every act, does no one see the irony of the built- in racism in a regulation that assumes those of certain ethnic origin or economic level are oppressed and unhappy simply because they live in a different kind of environment from that of the enforcers? What could make them feel more lost and hopeless than to be forced into living in government controlled housing in a neighborhood where they are shunned and resented?
This past September the United Nations made a big deal out of its new 2030 Agenda as it vows to eliminate poverty by 2030. Of course the only remedy to poverty offered in any UN policy is redistribution of wealth. That means taking from those who created their wealth (wealth translates to whatever amount you may have in your pocket or bank account at the time) and give a portion to someone who has failed to create their own wealth. However, the missing ingredient in these so-called solutions is a plan to actually help people build their own wealth. Take just a small amount today to feed someone in need and tomorrow they will need more. Again and again and again.
Taking from a producer time and again will cause two results. First, the producer eventually loses their wealth. If government takes enough then the person who once had wealth will have none and will in fact need assistances themselves. Result = more poor, not less. Second, the producer will finally learn that it is a waste of time to keep trying to produce and will stop producing. Result = again, more poor, fewer opportunities. No solution to get people out of the poverty cycle. Moving them into your neighborhood will not stop poverty. It will make you poorer as your property values decrease.
The fact is, America became the wealthiest nation on earth in a very short time precisely because of the ability of every American to own and control their own property. Ownership produces equity = that is a process to build wealth. 60% of small bbusinesses in America were financed by the equity in the owner’s private property. And eventually 60% of Americans were employed by companies that were financed in that manner. Private property ownership is the path to building wealth and eliminating poverty.
However there is no mention of such a plan in the UN’s Agenda 2030. Instead we see quotes like this one from the National Audubon Society’s Peter Berle: “We reject the idea of private property.” Those promoting these policies tell us that private property ownership is a social injustice because not everyone owns private property. So, they plan to make it impossible for anyone to own property = just to keep us all equal.
Professor Paul Ehrlich of Stanford University explained the goal best when he said, “A massive campaign must be launched to de-develop the United States. De-development means bringing our economic system into line with the realities of ecology and the world resource situation.” Ehrlich, by the way, is the father of the discredited population explosion theory that drives much of today’s environmental movement.
As a result of current Smart Growth policies, federal subsidized low income housing is taking the place of single family homes, thus eliminating the ability of low income Americans to buy their own property and achieve their own wealth = what wwas once called the American Dream.
According to Builderonline.com, which reports on trends in the building industry, homebuilders are no longer planning to build starter homes for young families or low income buyers. They only plan to build single family homes for the rich and federally subsidized apartment buildings for the rest of us. Why? Because the housing industry is being taken over by the federal government through plans such as AFFH. It is setting the standard for the future of housing.
In cities around the nation, such as Portland, Oregon, Boston, Massachusetts and Seattle, Washington, their Smart Growth plans are forcing them to end the availability of single family homes. In July, 2015, Seattle mayor Ed Murray and the City Council called on community leaders to develop a Housing Affordability and Living Agenda for the city. One of the main recommendations was to get rid of single family homes. Smart Growth forces an artificial line around the city outside of which no growth may take place. As the population grows, density grows. Eventually the city has no where to grow but up – into pack and stack high-rise apartment buildings. That is what has happened to Seattle. Now home owners will begin to see Eminent Domain used to take their single family home and replace it with the high-rises. It is the end of private property in Seattle.
One of the great outrages coming from the enforcement of such policy is the National Association of Realtors (NAR). This is the national organization that has set itself up as the champion of private property ownership and the idea that home ownership is the root of the American Dream. Yet, the NAR has sold its soul for a few grants and it is now a major promoter of Smart Growth policy. Every realtor in the nation should rise up against the NAR and threaten to leave it if it doesn’t stop promoting Smart Growth policy. If realtors continue to be cowed by the NAR they will soon wake up to learn they will have no product (homes) to sell. The future of every realtor in the nation is at stake. They could and should be a powerful voice in stopping this destruction of property rights. But today they remain silent and ignorant of their own organization’s actions, to their own peril and that of every homeowner in the nation. The NAR and its member realtors take a walk of shame everyday that they let this outrage go forward.
However, some members of Congress are trying to stop AFFH. Representative Paul Gosar of Arizona introduced a bill in July to ban funding for AFFH. His bill passed the House 229 – 193. Then Senator Mike Lee of Utah introduced the “Local Zoning Decisions Protection Act (S.1909). His bill has six co-sponsors including Presidential candidate Marco Rubio. The plan was to get both bills passed in their respective houses, then merge them together in a conference committee and add the final version to the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Appropriations bill (THUD). That bill was considered to be “must = pass” legislation making it more likelyy that Obama would have to sign it or see HUD shut down.
Unfortunately the plan didn’t work. House Speaker Ryan and Senate Majority Leader McConnell once again betrayed efforts to reign in the Obama juggernaut by eliminating the language from the massive trillion dollar omnibus spending bill passed in December. In fact, the final spending bill actually increased HUD’s budget by $2.6 billion, assuring it has plenty to enforce AFFH.
However, in a conversation I had with Lee’s legislative director, he assured me that S.1909 is still alive and that the Senator is determined to stop AFFH. It is vital that Americans who see the danger in AFFH take action now to stop it. We must flood Capitol Hill with calls supporting S.1909 and express our strong opposition to AFFH.
The American Policy Center has also prepared a petition addressed to Senator Lee to encourage him to continue the fight. With thousands of signatures he can use the petition to show other members of the Senate that he has strong support for S.1909. Readers can sign the petition here. If American private property rights are to be saved then we must stop AFFH!
Clearly HUD’s plan to enforce the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rule is a major tool for killing private property and de-developing the United States. It is the enforcement of social justice. It is pure social engineering designed to reorganize human society, just as was promised with Agenda 21.
The one growth industry coming from Agenda 21, the 2030 Agenda, and the AFFH rule is government. It is getting bigger with each new rule and grant. The obvious result of such massive growth is corruption at all levels of government. When people have no say in how their lives are being engineered government rushes in to fill the void and dictate the rules. It’s a pretty hopeless feeling to stand alone against such a behemoth.
For twenty years the warnings have been issued. We warned that Agenda 21 is the reorganization of human society. That local planning is the enforcement of Agenda 21. That Smart Growth will force people off their land and into cities of stack and pack high-rise tombs. That Sustainable Development will control your food and water; transportation choices; family size. And that shortages and misery are your future.
We warned that our American form of representative government will be replaced by non-elected regional councils and dictated to by a central government. That Free Enterprise will be replaced with fascist-style public private partnerships as international corporations will use their influence with government to stomp out mom and pop stores; government agents will join in group hugs with Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and corporate presidents as they carve up the goods of our once free society.
I’ve delivered all of these warnings for more than 20 years. And frankly I’m weary of it. I’ve been laughed at by elected officials and ignored by national news shows. I’ve been called a conspiracy theorist and a liar.
As we tried to warn Americans of these dire consequences, they have been easily diverted and maneuvered with the chosen issue of the day; totally engrossed in a presidential election that is a year away; sniping at who said what; who offended whom = Meanwhile, the real issue of the compllete destruction of our society, our values and our way of life are ALL encompassed in Agenda 21. And it moves forward almost unabated, as Americans would rather think about something else.
Well America, get ready to receive your due! Barack Obama has just nationalized your home. Along with that, he has put your local government in chains and he and his central government will now make the rules in your local community. If you do nothing now then it won’t matter whom you elect to city council or county commission. It won’t matter how loud you scream. Imagine no possessions. I wonder if you can! Ignore this warning to take action today or you’re going to learn.

Over New Year’s, the British Broadcasting Company reported that African-Syrian refugees sexually attacked 1,000 German women. Even CBS News reported the attacks this past Sunday night, January 10, 2015!
On Saturday night, a Muslim gunman screamed praises to Allah in Philadelphia as he shot 12 rounds into a police car at an intersection in praise of the Islamic State. Miraculously, the officer survived. Whether it’s San Bernardino or the Boston Marathon, Muslim refugees continue to bring jihad to America at an ever increasing rate of speed. The Koran prescribes the violence: “Convert or kill all non-believers.”
What does it mean? Answer: Muslim refugees carry their culture into host countries with a vengeance. No amount of welfare, pity or aid stops cultural sexual tendencies and violence of Muslims.
Over 1,000,000 (million) refugees stormed into Germany in 2015. Hundreds of thousands more of them flooded into Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Spain, Italy and Austria.
Because of her welcoming of those refugees, Time Magazine named German Chancellor Angela Merkel “Person of the Year”. Historians may well rename her “Most Foolish Woman of the Century” when the final collapse of Germany and the rest of Europe manifests.
Which brings a sane person to consider the following points:
The United Nations’ demographic experts show that third world countries add 80,000,000 (million) desperate, hungry and illiterate babies to the world annually. In reality, 57 million human beings die annually around the world from all causes. Third world mothers not only replace the 57 million deaths with 57 million new babies, but they add another 80 million more babies, net gain. Thus, 137 million new babies hit the planet every year. They need water, energy, food, housing, clothing, education, medical care and all services for living.
In reality, nothing on Earth and no entity can facilitate the viability of 137 million new babies. None of those countries enjoys educational facilities or work or food or teachers to sustain them.
Thus, over 10 million children starve to death annually. Another 8 million adults die in poverty. Those facts grow larger every year as you see millions of desperate people migrate from Africa, Asia, Indochina and South America—into first world countries, i.e., Europe, Canada, Australia and America. All those countries maintain stable populations and have since 1970.
Notice that Japan, China and India take zero immigrants of any kind. Middle Eastern countries refuse to take them.
What does that mean? Answer: European countries absorb cultures, religions and people who lack any affinity or preparation to move into first world cultures. Once they reach Europe or America, they tap into welfare systems not available in their own countries. They continue birth rates that caused their desperate situations in their own countries. Whether it’s war for water, energy or resources, third world people cannot survive in their overpopulated countries.
For example, today, Africa houses 1.1 billion people. Demographic experts project 2 billion within 34 years by 2050 and 4 billion by the end of this century. That means no one takes responsibility for their fecundity rates in those countries.
Thus, worldwide, the refugee line grows by 1 billion every 12 years and an added 3 billion by 2050.
While first world countries maintain stable populations at 2.00 children per woman, those same countries explode their populations by endless immigration.
What’s it doing to the West? Answer: genocide of Western cultures and ultimately death to economic systems. This video should be seen by every American, Canadian, European and Australian.
A short 20-minute documentary on what could be called “The Great Displacement,” namely the flooding of Western countries with foreign immigrants–whereby the majority populations become the minorities in their own countries. Regardless of how one feels on the topic, this grows as the number one issue in the near future as demographics shift dramatically in The West.
The Endgame: A Documentary on ‘Western Genocide’
In the United States, the European-American population in 2015 will become a minority group as it gives way to a 51 percent Latino-Mexican-Hispanic majority by 2042—a mere 26 years from now. Canadians will become a minority in their own country sooner. Europeans already face minority status in their own countries within decades.
If America’s 1965 Immigration Reform Act continues, 1.2 million legal immigrants, their children and chain migrated relatives will continue their invasion of America into the endless future. The consequences grow as to changing the culture, language, ethnic mix and ethos of America.
Not only will such a massive migration invasion change the course of history for all Americans of every race, creed and color—but it will destroy our ability to function as a viable civilization. And, in fact, America ultimately will collapse.
What’s amazing about this fact: not a whisper by our leaders, the main stream press, and/or the American people because they do not understand their own bleak futures.
If you don’t want a Paris, France or San Bernardino event in your community, it’s time to call for a total “Immigration Shutdown Now.”
Call your senators and House rep: 1 202 224 3121. Demand a stop to all immigration and stop to any Syrian immigration.
Definition of slogan: “Immigration Shutdown Now means the American people want a total shutdown on all legal and illegal immigration. That means we want all illegal immigration stopped by arresting, prosecuting and jailing employers of illegal aliens. We deport all illegal aliens by taking their jobs away and as we catch them. We want English mandated as our national language. We demand a cessation of Muslim immigration in order to protect our culture, language and way of life. We can’t save the world but we can destroy our civilization. We demand a stable population that allows everyone to live, work and thrive into the 21st century. Especially our children.” FHW
That’s why you need to take action. Send this series to everyone in your network. Educate them. Urge them to take action by joining these websites to become faxers of prewritten letters and phone callers. We must force Congress into an “Immigration Shutdown Now!

For the last seven years, President Obama has pursued a dedicated policy of American retreat, withdrawal, and appeasement. He has reduced American prestige, power, and presence in the world, causing our age-old enemies Iran, Russia, and China to expand their respective spheres of influence, their troop presence outside of their borders, and their tests of American defenses and resolve. Obama has embraced America’s foremost enemy, Iran, and has made clear to Israel and America’s European and Asian allies that the United States will not lead in defense of freedom and, indeed, may not take any action to defend even its own vital interests. He has embraced America’s enemies and betrayed America’s allies. To the world, Obama is either a farce or a disgrace, and it is that image of foolishness, weakness, and irresolution that emboldens those who despise us to act against us.
Whether Obama’s unilateral dismantlement of the American empire will continue, be abated, or be reversed is among the most important questions facing the next president. If Hillary Clinton is elected, she will maintain the largely incoherent foreign policy that she implemented as Secretary of State. She will not sacrifice welfare dollars to finance a rebuild of the American military or an expansion of American power in the world. She will not likely alter the anemic military operations Obama maintains against our terrorist foes. She will keep in place the “deal” with, the sell-out to, Iran. She will continue the path toward decline with apologies that Obama made central to his international mission.
If a Republican becomes president, efforts will be undertaken to halt the dismantlement of the American empire, but we cannot know whether abating the decline or rebuilding the empire will be the new president’s mission. Given eight years of rapid and substantial decline and dismantlement, America will be incapable of resurrecting its status as an empire unless it dedicates a significant amount of wealth, resources, and effort to that cause. To achieve that end a revitalization of the American economy and a substantial reduction in the welfare state are essential.
A president serious about restoring the American empire must first restore the American economy and constitutional republic. He must dismantle the regulatory state, cut back the welfare state, eliminate Obamacare, cut corporate and individual tax rates, and work with the states to create the most hospitable environment for capital accumulation, investment, and entrepreneurship. A substantial reduction in the size and scope of the welfare state combined with massive tax relief can liberate the private sector to grow and can provide the revenues necessary to rebuild the American empire. The first order of business would then be to expand and modernize the American military so that we may take the lead in the war against radical Islam and may have at the ready the power to oppose Russian and Chinese expansionism.
Reassertion of American power is essential if we are to avoid greater challenges from Iran, Russia, and China. Now emboldened by American weakness, those countries need to learn anew from a determined and fearless president that the United States intends to act with overwhelming force to repel aggression against our nation, its people, and its property and to take new and decisive military and economic action against our enemies. We need to rebuild American bases in Europe, reinstall short range ballistic missiles in Poland and throughout NATO in Eastern Europe, and maintain substantially increased 24/7 military operations via coordinated special operations and air power against all those who engage in, support, finance, and provide aid and comfort to terrorists around the world.
Much is at stake in the elections this November. Indeed, the fundamental course of the nation will be determined by who is elected. If the new president is Hillary Clinton, she will preside over a continuing decline in the American empire, a lackluster American economy, a “new normal” in which terrorist acts on American soil occur again and again, a Supreme Court that turns increasingly away from the plain and intended meaning of the Constitution in favor of further grants of new legal protection for unlimited government, and an increasingly dangerous world where to be an American is to be a target. If, on the other hand, the new president is a Republican, much will depend on whether that person has the commitment, stamina, and resolve to turn rhetoric into action and to rebuild rapidly the American republic, a free enterprise economy, and America’s global empire. The world, particularly our hapless friends and our emboldened enemies, are keenly interested in the outcome of this coming election. The fate not only of the United States but of the free world largely hangs in the balance.

I have stated for years that if you are politically correct, you are probably completely wrong. We are seeing politician after politician Democrats and Republicans, do everything to defend the actions of radical islamists. Many out of la-la land, Hollywood, are doing the same thing. Samuel Jackson made the comment after San Bernardino that he had hoped that it was a couple of white people that had murdered 14 people and not muslims. I guess we know who’s a racist now.
Today a devout muslim attacked a Philadelphia police officer as he was driving his car. It was done almost execution style. The officer is in critical condition. The idiot that is the mayor DEMOCRAT Jim Kenny made a complete fool out of himself defending the barbaric Islamic faith. He began by expressing his well-wishes for the officer who the muslim man attempted to execute, but then spent the latter part of his statement distancing Islam from the shooter, who claimed he was carrying out the shooting for Islam. “In no way shape or form does anyone in this room believe that Islam or the teaching of Islam has anything to do with what you’ve seen on the screen,” said Mayor Kenney. “That is abhorrent. It’s just terrible and it does not represent this religion [Islam] in any way shape or form or any of its teachings,” he added. “This is a criminal with a stolen gun who tried to kill one of our officers. It has nothing to do with being a Muslim or following the Islamic faith.”[1] Here are a few quotes from the Quran: Quran 8:12: “Instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers;”; Quran 2:191: “… kill the disbelievers wherever we find them …” ; Quran 8:59: “The infidels should not think that they can get away from us. Prepare against them whatever arms and weaponry you can muster so that you may terrorize them. They are your enemy and Allah’s enemy.” Only a fool would make that statement about the most barbaric ideology in the world. Right after he spoke Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross stated: “the suspect said he had committed the attempted execution in the name of the Islamic State, the jihadi terrorist insurgent group that controls territory in the Middle East. “According to him [the shooter], police bend laws that are contrary to the teachings of the Quran,” said Commissioner Ross.”[2]
This man was a refugee, just like the Boston bombers and one of the perpetrators of the San Bernardino killings. Obama is allowing tens of thousands of these people into America because denying them entrance is “not who we are’. What we should be about is protecting the citizens of America! Obama is more concerned about muslims than Americans. We have to be prepared for the eventuality of muslim attacks in America. Judge Jeanine Pirro has a short video that is well worth watching concerning our right to protect ourselves from the vermin that Obama is allowing to come into our nation unvetted.[3] Please don’t call me racist. Being against a political ideology that wants to kill me and destroy our culture and way of life isn’t racist, it’s patriotism, something our politicians would do good to learn.
Obama tells us that we can’t judge all muslims by the actions of a few. 250-300 million is more than a few, but he is always judging all gun owners by the actions of a few. All mass shooters since 1950 have been Democrats! Maybe would need to ban Democrats. He stood up there on national television with tears flowing down his cheeks because he is so concerned about the children dying because of guns. I’m sorry but that was nothing but a planned emotional act. The tears were as fake as he is. If he was so concerned about children dying he’d shed some tears over the millions of children that had died from abortions! But abortion he shoves down our throat as ‘reproductive healthcare’. I even heard Bill O’Reilly tonight say that he believed the tears were real. He’s as big a fool as Geraldo Rivera. Geraldo can’t tell the difference between illegal and legal immigration. He thinks they are the same. Tonight on the “Five” he was disappointed that people were speaking bad about islam because of the Philly shooting. He thinks we need more muslims on the police force. This man is delusional. Has he not heard about Fort Hood? How about the muslin during the first gulf war that threw a grenade into a tent because he was upset that the American troops were fighting muslims. We need less muslims not more and none should be in our military nor on our police forces!
We need to realize that islam is not a ideology that is compatible with any other culture. They are required to do everything they can to initiate shariah into every nation they immigrate to. This is why we need to stop ALL immigration from Islamic countries, PERIOD. We need to address the 28 jihad camps we have in the US and by address I mean destroy them and those that defend it. Muslims are not here to coexist, they are here to conquer and dominate. Mustafa Carroll the Director of the terrorist organization CAIR in Texas states “If we are practicing muslims, we are above the law of the land.” News flash for Mustafa, not in America! You may get away with it for a while but remember that just the registered hunters in three states is the largest standing army in the world. Tick them off, and you are real close to doing that, and you’ll meet your 72 virgins real fast. Even our Attorney General stated after the San Bernardino killings that her “greatest fear is the incredibly disturbing rise of anti-islamic rhetoric.” Really? How about the incredibly disturbing rise of slaughtered Americans on American soil BY muslims in the name of allah? That should be of much higher importance than the feelings of those that perpetrate and support the slaughters.
The unfettered stream of illegals into this country from all nations is the ground work for the destruction of America. They bring their culture, diseases, and poverty here and live off the American taxpayer. It has been reported that most of illegals are on our welfare system. Census Bureau data reveals that most U.S. families headed by illegal immigrants use taxpayer-funded welfare programs on behalf of their American-born anchor babies.Even before the recession, immigrant households with children used welfare programs at consistently higher rates than natives, according to the extensive census data collected and analyzed by a nonpartisanWashington D.C. group dedicated to researching legal and illegal immigration in the U.S. The results, published this month in a lengthy report, are hardly surprising.Basically, the majority of households across the country benefitting from publicly-funded welfare programs are headed by immigrants, both legal and illegal. States where immigrant households with children have the highest welfare use rates are Arizona (62%), Texas, California and New York with 61% each and Pennsylvania(59%).The study focused on eight major welfare programs that cost the government $517 billion the year they were examined. They include Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for the disabled, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), a nutritional program known as Women, Infants and Children (WIC), food stamps, free/reduced school lunch, public housing and health insurance for the poor (Medicaid).Food assistance and Medicaid are the programs most commonly used by illegal immigrants, mainly on behalf of their American-born children who get automatic citizenship.
On the other hand, legal immigrant households take advantage of every available welfare program, according to the study, which attributes it to low education level and resulting low income. The highest rate of welfare recipients come from the Dominican Republic (82 %), Mexico and Guatemala (75%) and Ecuador (70%), according to the report, which says welfare use tends to be high for both new arrivals and established residents.[4] This has to stop. We can no longer continue to be the caretakers of the world.
Our vets are sleeping on the streets and can’t get the healthcare they not only need but deserve but we house, feed and give healthcare to illegals! Insanity! Trump says Americans first and I agree. The time for political correctness has passed and reality needs to be addressed. No one seems to want to do this but Trump. Maybe that’s why he is getting so much support, he doesn’t do political correctness.

The latest blockbuster is the current Star Wars VII episode netting more than 1.3 Billion to date. While it is entertaining, we need to always be asking ourselves, what is the message which the writers are communicating. One thing is true of the dramatic arts; they are a powerful medium for communicating a message that is just below the radar of human perception. More specifically, there is a real possibility for a message to be delivered and openly received by an audience without any thought or analysis engaged in by the recipient.
People may walk out of a theater with new thoughts swirling in their mind that they have taken no time to evaluate. In fact they may believe something to be true simply because it was presented in a powerfully moving, emotionally grabbing way that overpowers all the reasoning abilities that are sitting on the intellectual sidelines. There are many messages conveyed by the Star Wars franchise, but this today, in tune with our study True Law is God’s Law, I would like to mention just one. It is this question, what is man?
The powerful message of that movie series is that man is but an intelligent animal, not unlike all the other intelligent animals that populate the galaxy and are engaged in the battle to control that galaxy. You have Chewy, injured and nursed to health by the hero, who later is injured and nursed to health by Chewy. I could cite many other examples that are used very effectively to persuade the audience that man essentially is an animal just as all the other animals.
At first blush it might seem to be an idea with little to no consequences. However, the law of God before us would greatly disagree. Turn to Exodus 22:19 “Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.” This law deals with a subject of unnatural relations of the darkest sort.
Depraved Debauchery – Exodus 22:19 deals with the darkest form of sexual immorality. So dark we might be inclined to skip over it altogether, but the Word of God addresses this matter and so it is incumbent upon us to do so as well. Our aim is to proclaim all that the Word of God say, no more, no less. It will help to examine this extreme depravity in light of the overarching law of God for this area of life.
All sexual activity outside the bonds of Marriage is sin – Hebrews 13:4 “Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.” So it is not just beastiality the Law of God condemns, it is every sexual sin, every action that is outside the bounds of marriage.
Sexual immorality is a sin against one’s own body – 1 Corinthians 6:18 “Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.” The term translated in the KJV “Fornication” is the Greek word ‘porneia.’ It is the overarching term which covers every form of sexual immorality, whether it be between two persons who are unmarried, or two that are married to someone other then they have engaged adultery, or two persons of the same sex, or this bottom dwelling debauchery of bestiality.
How does such debauchery ever come into a society? – Please read Romans 1:18-32. The downward spiral –
• What begins with idolatry leads to sexual anarchy – everyone flaunting the Law of God which protects the very foundations of civilization – God’s Holy Institution of marriage.
• It ends in a depraved mind – the word translated “reprobate” is the Greek word “adokimos” defined as “rejected; by implication, worthless (literally or morally):—castaway, rejected, reprobate.”[1] God has given them over to this state for the evil choices that have made and continue to make to reject all that is good and holy, righteous and true. Having rejected God’s Law, God gives them over to their benighted depravity and they become in thought, word and deed given over to their wretched sin. Now we can see this pattern working itself out on the pages of history.
The Modern idolatry of Evolution and the sin of ‘speciesism’ “Definition of speciesism
1: prejudice or discrimination based on species; especially : discrimination against animals
2: the assumption of human superiority on which speciesism is based.”[2]
So the belief is that you are just an animal and show favoritism to your own species, homo sapiens, and it is wrong for you to treat any other animals in this world as less than you are. You are an animal equal to all other animals, no more, no less. That is one of the messages of Star Wars.

My, my, how things have changed since the first volley of lawsuits to keep the criminal impostor in the White House, Barry Soetoro aka Barack Obama [fictitious, made up name] off the ballot. Immediately shrill squawking came from the ethically bankrupt Democrat/Communist Party USA. Why, to challenge the constitutional eligibility of a candidate was racist pure and simple. The object of scrutiny has black skin, therefore, any attempts to uphold the Constitution were being done by kooks, racists, Kool-Aid drinkers and as Yule Brenner said in the 1956 movie, The King And I, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera .
‘Conservative’ biggies were just as outraged as the left that anyone should question Barry’s eligibility:
Obama Citizenship Crisis & Industrial Strength Stupidity
“David Horowitz, much admired by conservatives, makes an astonishing and completely anti American statement on the issue of the law: Obama Derangement Syndrome
“The continuing efforts of a fringe group of conservatives to deny Obama his victory and to lay the basis for the claim that he is not a legitimate president are embarrassing and destructive…What difference does it make to the future of this country whether Obama was born on U.S. soil? Advocates of this destructive campaign will argue that the constitutional principle regarding the qualifications for president trumps all others. But how viable will our Constitution be if five Supreme Court justices should decide to void 64 million ballots?”
“What difference does it make whether Obama was “born on U.S. soil?” That’s not the issue and it’s a shame someone like Horowitz shoots off the pie hole in his face without even knowing the correct legal argument. How viable would it be if the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the supreme law of the land? Shame on you, Mr. Horowitz, for your cavalier attitude about the law.” Since Barry Obama was not eligible no one had the ‘right’ to vote for him, period.
The very dangerous Mark Levine (his book promoting a constitutional convention) is going ballistic over anyone challenging Ted Cruz’s eligibility:
“He added that the birther issue with both Cruz and President Obama is “stupid,” no one has standing to challenge it, no court would take it up, and is “just not true.” Levin continued that “the liberals love this stuff.”…
“Levin then said anyone who is born to a US citizen can run for president, regardless of where they were born. He then read the 5th clause of Article II, Section I of the US Constitution, and argued that children born to US citizens abroad are natural born US citizens under US law.
“He continued by pointing to arguments that child born in the US are not automatically natural born citizens under the 14th Amendment, that he and other conservatives have embraced, contrary to the “amnesty crowd, the establishment Republicans, [and] dummies on TV”…Levin then declared that Cruz’s eligibility was “resolved,” and questions over Cruz’s eligibility are “for the kooks.”
Well, Mark, liberals didn’t “love this stuff” when their boy, Barry, was in the spotlight back in 2008. Levin’s comment “read the 5th clause of Article II, Section I of the US Constitution, and argued that children born to US citizens abroad are natural born US citizens under US law” is completely disingenuous:
No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President;
neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.
No where in that clause does it say children born to US citizens abroad are natural born citizens under US law. His comment regarding no one having standing to challenge eligibility deliberately skips over two things:
1. When Leo Donofrio filed his lawsuit in NJ to keep Barry Obama, Juan McCain and Róger Calero (born in Nicaragua) off the ballot, standing was not challenged although that judicial hallucination was used in most of the other lawsuits to get rid of them. There was a great deal of confusion regarding McCain because everyone assumed the hospital he was born in was on a military installation. Not so and I do encourage you to take the time to read this entire piece: A Congressional Natural Born Citizen Parts I, II & III: Who Knew What & For How Long?
“According to the birth certificate and COLB of John McCain, McCain was born in Colon Hospital, city of Colon, Panama. While the BC states at the top that it is from the “Canal Zone”, the document also states that McCain was born in Colon Hospital, city of Colon. The city of Colon and the hospital were not in the Canal Zone. The common story you hear is that McCain was born in the Canal Zone, but these documents posted online do not testify to that. Furthermore, there is no official document that has ever surfaced which states that McCain was born in the Canal Zone.”
Why Senator John McCain Cannot Be President: Eleven Months and a Hundred Yards Short of Citizenship by Gabriel J. Chin, University of California, Davis – School of Law, August 13, 2008
Abstract:
“Senator McCain was born in 1936 in the Canal Zone to U.S. citizen parents. The Canal Zone was territory controlled by the United States, but it was not incorporated into the Union. As requested by Senator McCain’s campaign, distinguished constitutional lawyers Laurence Tribe and Theodore Olson examined the law and issued a detailed opinion offering two reasons that Senator McCain was a natural born citizen. Neither is sound under current law.
“The Tribe-Olson Opinion suggests that the Canal Zone, then under exclusive U.S. jurisdiction, may have been covered by the Fourteenth Amendment’s grant of citizenship to “all persons born . . . in the United States.” However, in the Insular Cases, the Supreme Court held that “unincorporated territories” were not part of the United States for constitutional purposes. Accordingly, many decisions hold that persons born in unincorporated territories are not Fourteenth Amendment citizens. The Tribe-Olson Opinion also suggests that Senator McCain obtained citizenship by statute. However, the only statute in effect in 1936 did not cover the Canal Zone. Recognizing the gap, in 1937, Congress passed a citizenship law applicable only to the Canal Zone, granting Senator McCain citizenship, but eleven months too late for him to be a citizen at birth. Because Senator John McCain was not a citizen at birth, he is not a “natural born Citizen” and thus is not “eligible to the Office of President” under the Constitution.
Because of the flap in 2008 over Juan McCain, the Senate passed a resolution to accomodate a presidential candidate. S.Res.511 – A resolution recognizing that John Sidney McCain, III, is a natural born citizen. It certainly pays to have friends in high places.
I deliberately decided to make a Part II to this column because it is historical FACTS regarding the Fourteenth Amendment and natural born as written by Leo Donofrio.
2. Mark Levin knows not a single lawsuit was decided on merits of the argument regarding what constitutes a natural born citizen. Not one single court allowed a true legal discussion of what constitutes natural born.
Cruz, naturally has come out saying it’s ‘settled law’. Yes, it is and you, Ted Cruz are ineligible. Cruz knew this was going to become an issue which is why he began legal proceedings to give up his dual citizenship finalized in 2014. If he didn’t think his dual citizenship would be a problem, why go to all the trouble to renounce his Canadian citizenship?
“News” media giants, including FOX led the charge to discredit anyone questioning Barry’s eligibility. Haaavard grad and telly clown, Bill O’Reilly, has proclaimed over the years that a birth announcement in a Hawaii newspaper was proof positive Barry was a natural born citizen. And, so all these years, Barry Obama has gotten away with usurping the office of president aided and abetted by the left and the right. And now they’re deliberately doing it all over again using the same talking points from 2008 & 2012 to protect Ted Cruz.
Rep. Alan Grayson: I Will File Lawsuit Over Ted Cruz’s Citizenship If He’s Elected President, November 27, 2015. Grayson is a stupid, rabid Democrat. His proclamation is baloney. I can tell you exactly what a judge will say: Mr. Grayson, if you had a problem with Cruz’s citizenship, you should have filed before the election. Grayson’s comments in that article demonstrates he’s a run of the mill dummy on the issue of natural born citizen.
Nancy Pelosi Wades Into Cruz Eligibility Dispute, Jan. 7, 2016
Like Barry Obama, Cruz has one parent who was a U.S. citizen at the time of his birth – his mother. A plethora of hot articles have flooded the Internet over the past few days. This one is a prime example of ignorance:
Why Ted Cruz Is Vulnerable on Canadian Birth Issue: “That is not because Cruz is ineligible for the presidency. In an article in the Harvard Law Review in March 2015, former Solicitors General Neal Katyal and Paul Clement made a compelling argument that the Framers of the Constitution intended “natural-born citizen”–a requirement for the presidency–to include those born to U.S. citizens abroad.”
Going back to JB Williams column regarding Ted Cruz being ineligible to run for the senate, he provides copies of critical legal documents:
“The above Canadian document is proof of Canadian Citizenship at birth for Senator Ted Cruz. The next piece of authenticated evidence released by Ted Cruz is a Canadian document proving that he remained a legal citizen of Canada until renouncing that citizenship in May of 2014, which means, he was still a legal citizen of Canada in 2012 when he ran for, was elected and took the oath of office for the US Senate.
“Again, the above authenticated evidence proves that Ted Cruz was born Canadian in 1970 and remained a legal citizen of Canada until renouncing his Canadian citizenship in May of 2014. These official documents also prove that Ted Cruz was a legal citizen of Canada in 2012, when he sought and claimed a seat in the U.S. Senate as a legal US citizen….
“Ted’s parents were at no time serving in the U.S. Armed Forces, employed by the U.S. Government or by any of the certain international organizations, during their eight years in Canada, between 1966 and 1974. Further, Ted’s father Rafael, was at no time a legal citizen of the United States prior to naturalizing in 2005, from Canada. Rafael’s known legal citizenship status as of 1970 was Cuban, not American.
“This is an EXAMPLE of a US CRBA Form (Consular Report of Birth Abroad)
“Unfortunately, there is no evidence to suggest that the parent or parents of Ted Cruz ever filed a CRBA form with the U.S. Government in or around 1970, which is why Ted Cruz released a copy of his Canadian citizenship records and not any U.S. citizenship records. At present, all FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests filed in search of any U.S. citizenship documents to confirm the true official U.S. citizenship status of Ted Cruz have been denied access. All citizenship records for Ted Cruz are sealed unless and until Ted Cruz agrees to allow any such records to be released by either U.S. or Canadian agencies.
“As a result, there remains no authentic evidence to support the claims that Ted Cruz is either a “natural born” or “naturalized” citizen of the United States.”
Shall we look at that Haaavard Law Review? A Response to Neil Katyal and Paul Clement on the Meaning of a Natural Born Citizen By Mario Apuzzo, Esq. Take the time to read Mario’s response because he quite succinctly proves the authors of the aforementioned ‘law review’ piece are wrong.
As I mentioned in my last column, Mario is the attorney for a ballot eligibility case in Vermont assisted the plaintiff in preparing his filing. A lawsuit has been filed to keep ineligible candidates off the primary ballot in Florida: Michael Voeltz, registered Republican Party voter of Broward County Florida v. Senator Ted Cruz, of Texas, Senator Marco Rubio, of Florida, Secretary of State of Florida, Republican Party of Florida Executive Committee. A challenge has also been made in Illinois.
1974 Canadian Electors’ List Named Ted Cruz’s Parents
“Canadian immigration authorities declined a request by Breitbart News for additional documents, citing Canadian privacy laws. Under U.S. law, Cruz would have inherited his citizenship at birth in 1970 from his mother, provided she remained a U.S. citizen. She likely would have retained her U.S. citizenship even if she had become a naturalized Canadian citizen, though Canadian law required naturalized citizens formally to renounce all foreign allegiances until 1973.”
There’s that nasty thing again: privacy laws. This is Barry Obama and the Hawaiian birth certificate all over again. I wonder if Ted will spend, as did the fraud in the White House, more than a million dollars to keep official records under wraps? The article above ends with the boiler plate stupidity about what constitutes a natural born citizen.
It’s not Barry or Cruz or Rubio’s birthplace, it’s the citizenship of the parents at the time of the child’s birth. They key word being parents, not parent. Every single article or commentary written since Donald Trump brought up the issue last week always ends with Cruz’s mother is a U.S. citizen therefore Ted Cruz is a natural born citizen. Intellectual laziness or political bias does not erase historical facts.
There was a reason the ‘natural born citizen’ clause was grandfathered into the Constitution: To keep any president that might have foreign interests he would use to betray this country. Think Barack Hussein Obama. I don’t doubt Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio love this country, but in the future do we want another Barry Obama? Since 2008, there have been a lot of articles by individuals, mostly foreign born, who want to get rid of the natural born citizen clause in the Constitution to suit their own agenda, but we can not let that happen.
In my column last week I provided links to legal analysis by two individuals who have been heavily involved in this issue that Americans should read if they want to fully understand why Cruz and Rubio are not natural born citizens:
• Leo Donofrio’s Amicus Brief
• A Citizen is One Thing, But a Natural Born Citizen is Another
Something is happening that is quite extraordinary. When the issue was Democrat Barry Obama, FOX and other powerful ‘conservative’ mouth pieces bent over backwards to help an ineligible candidate. Now the issue is a popular GOP senator (who usurped that office), Ted Cruz, and his eligibility and those same media mouthpieces and ‘conservative’ legal geniuses are again bending over backwards to make sure another ineligible candidate can run for president.
Why hasn’t Marco Rubio’s ineligibility been brought up in all this frenzy? If the argument being put forth by all the above is that a natural born citizen means one parent is a U.S. citizen at the time of the child’s birth, that sure as hell eliminates Marco Rubio. He was born in May 1971 in Miami, Florida. His parents did not become U.S. citizens until November 1975 – four years after his birth. Since neither of his parents were U.S. citizens at the time of his birth, he’s out.
Why this screeching from all of the above to protect Cruz’s candidacy? Because the top four GOP candidates are Trump, Cruz, Rubio and Carson. If you knock out Cruz and Rubio that leaves Donald Trump and Dr. Ben Carson – unless one figures Paul, Fiorina, Bush and the rest of the single digit candidates can be resurrected from the dead. Democrats and their lackeys in the media don’t want Trump. The GOP establishment and their lackeys in the media don’t want Trump. Can the jury make the inference that both sides are working feverishly to keep Cruz and Rubio in the contest hoping Donald Trump will flame out or lose the early primaries? I submit to you that’s exactly what’s going on.
Everything possible is being done by the GOP, with help from Megyn Kelly over at FOX, to keep Donald Trump from securing the GOP nomination: GOP Planning ‘Firewall’ to Stop Trump in South Carolina. A pathetic attempt to bolster the pathetic Jeb! Bush’s chances: “GOP leaders increasingly see South Carolina as their last best chance to stop Donald Trump’s populist political juggernaut. On Wednesday, influential South Carolina Republican Katon Dawson issued a plea for former President George W. Bush to step into the ring in the Palmetto State’s Feb. 20 primary. Bush is quite popular among South Carolina Republicans, and Dawson called his involvement a potential “game changer.”
GOP “leaders” are so far out of touch with voters it defies imagination. As for a game changer, dream on. If voters wanted Jeb! he would be leading the pack.
So, what happens now? Well, we have Barry Obama who usurped the office of president and has gotten away with it. His mother was a natural born citizen, but his father was a foreign national who never applied for citizenship. Barry Obama was born with dual citizenship and ineligible to be president.
Marco Rubio was four years old when his parents became citizens. Rubio is hardly a natural BORN citizen and therefore, clearly ineligible.
Ted Cruz’s mother’s birth certificate shows she is a natural born citizen, but Cruz’s father was a foreign national and not a U.S. citizen at the time Ted was born. Cruz believes because he renounced his Canadian citizenship at age 44 and his mother being a U.S. citizen he can be a natural born citizen.
Likely more lawsuits will be filed. Donald Trump could file a lawsuit; ‘standing’ would not be an issue; or shouldn’t be. But, make no mistake: The stakes are as high as they can get because if Ted Cruz is not eligible then neither was the criminal fraudster in the White House in 2008 and 2012. If anyone thinks the shadow government is going to let this new challenge regarding Ted Cruz blow that whole thing out of the water, they are sadly mistaken. Ted can continue to ‘cruz’ along hoping he would be Trump’s pick for VP. But, since he’s ineligible for the presidency he’s also ineligible to be VP.
Should Donald Trump dive in or continue steamrolling his competition? Baring some catastrophe, if he stays on course and doesn’t fall into the trap of filing a lawsuit, he will be the nominee regardless of what GOP “leaders” want. As I said in a past column, big hay is being made Cruz is ahead in Iowa.
So what? Santorum won in 2012 and Mike Huckabee in 2008. Both flamed out and never made it to the White House. The same fate was dished out to John Kerry, Al Gore[bechev] and others. Predictions are Trump will take New Hampshire and South Carolina. If that happens, Cruz will likely continue spending millions to catch Trump for the next set of primaries.
We shall see if the lawsuits that have been filed move forward like Leo Donofrio’s did only to be kicked to the curb by a deceitful batch of disgraceful “justices” on the U.S. Supreme Court. I sincerely hope they do and that there is just one judge, one, who believes in the supreme law of the land.
As for the darling of the right, Mark Levin, referring to people like me as kooks, shame on you. Questioning the constitutional eligibility for president or even members of Congress is not kooky. It’s our duty and obligation to make sure the Constitution is upheld. For part two click below.

The following was written by Leo Donofrio. It is an excerpt from his longer analysis here.
NATURAL BORN CITIZEN DEFINED THROUGH HISTORY
I could understand rabid attacks if the legal theory I was relying upon had been thoroughly discredited by a Supreme Court decision or by statute, or even by historical texts, but it’s quite the opposite. Beside 200 years of Presidential precedent, the great weight of authority supports the argument that Obama is not a natural born Citizen.
I understand the countering argument and I’ve welcomed debate of both sides of the issue in comments to this blog. But most of the published arguments on the natural born Citizen issue are recently published law review articles which haven’t done a very good job of presenting the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
THE FRAMERS OF THE 14TH AMENDMENT
Despite popular belief, the 14th Amendment does not convey the status of “natural born Citizen” in its text. It just conveys the status of “Citizen”. And it’s very clear that in the pre-amendment Constitution, the Framers made a distinction between a “Citizen” and a “natural born Citizen”. The requirement to be a Senator or Representative is “Citizen”, but the requirement to be President is “natural born Citizen”.
From the 14th Amendment:
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the State wherein they reside.”
But even as to this conveyance of citizenship, those who were responsible for drafting the 14th Amendment made it clear that – to them – the meaning of “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” meant subject only to the jurisdiction thereof.
Dr. John Fonte, Senior Fellow of The Hudson Institute had this to say about the issue at a Congressional hearing on dual citizenship from September 29, 2005:
The authors in the legislative history, the authors of that language, Senator Lyman Trumbull said, ”When we talk about ’subject to the jurisdiction of the United States,’ it means complete jurisdiction, not owing allegiance to anybody else.” Senator Jacob Howard said that it’s ”a full and complete jurisdiction.”
This illustrates that Congress recently discussed the issue, and they can’t claim they were unaware. But we don’t have to take Dr. Fonte’s word for it. The following discussion by the various 14th Amendment Framers took place on the Senate floor. I took it from P.A. Madison’s research at http://www.14thamendment.us(use his link for footnotes):
It is clear the framers of the Fourteenth Amendment had no intention of freely giving away American citizenship to just anyone simply because they may have been born on American soil. Again, we are fortunate enough to have on the record the highest authority tell us, Sen. Lyman Trumbull, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee… and the one who inserted the phrase:
[T]he provision is, that ‘all persons born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens.’ That means ’subject to the complete jurisdiction thereof.’ What do we mean by ‘complete jurisdiction thereof?’ Not owing allegiance to anybody else. That is what it means.
Then Madison quotes Sen. Howard, another Framer, concurring with Trumbull:
Sen. Howard concurs with Trumbull’s construction:
Mr. HOWARD: I concur entirely with the honorable Senator from Illinois [Trumbull], in holding that the word “jurisdiction,” as here employed, ought to be construed so as to imply a full and complete jurisdiction on the part of the United States, whether exercised by Congress, by the executive, or by the judicial department; that is to say, the same jurisdiction in extent and quality as applies to every citizen of the United States now.[3]
Mr. Madison continues with even more proof of what the 14th Amendment Framers meant:
Sen. Johnson, speaking on the Senate floor, offers his comments and understanding of the proposed new amendment to the constitution:
[Now], all this amendment [citizenship clause] provides is, that all persons born in the United States and not subject to some foreign Power–for that, no doubt, is the meaning of the committee who have brought the matter before us–shall be considered as citizens of the United States. That would seem to be not only a wise but a necessary provision. If there are to be citizens of the United States there should be some certain definition of what citizenship is, what has created the character of citizen as between himself and the United States, and the amendment says that citizenship may depend upon birth, and I know of no better way to give rise to citizenship than the fact of birth within the territory of the United States, born to parents who at the time were subject to the authority of the United States.[4]
No doubt in the Senate as to what the citizenship clause means as further evidenced by Sen. W. Williams:
In one sense, all persons born within the geographical limits of the United States are subject to the jurisdiction of the United States…All persons living within a judicial district may be said, in one sense, to be subject to the jurisdiction of the court in that district, but they are not in every sense subject to the jurisdiction of the court until they are brought, by proper process, within the reach of the power of the court. I understand the words here, ’subject to the jurisdiction of the United States,’ to mean fully and completely subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.[5]
Madison saves for last the greatest authority on the issue:
Rep. John Bingham of Ohio, considered the father of the Fourteenth Amendment, confirms the understanding and construction the framers used in regards to birthright and jurisdiction while speaking on civil rights of citizens in the House on March 9, 1866:
[I] find no fault with the introductory clause [S 61 Bill], which is simply declaratory of what is written in the Constitution, that every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen…[6]
It’s important to note this statement was issued by Bingham only months before the 14th Amendment was proposed.
In conclusion, I would like to thank reader “John Boy” for pointing to Justice Scalia’s opinion in District of Columbia Et Al. v. Heller. In that case, Justice Scalia took into consideration a certain historical legal reference:
The common references to those “fit to bear arms” in congressional discussions about the militia are matched by use of the same phrase in the few nonmilitary federal contexts where the concept would be relevant… Other legal sources frequently used “bear arms” in nonmilitary contexts.[10]
Now look at “footnote 10?:
E. de Vattel, The Law of Nations, or, Principles of the Law of Nature 144 (1792) (“Since custom has allowed persons of rank and gentlemen of the army to bear arms in time of peace, strict care should be taken that none but these should be allowed to wear swords”);
Since Justice Scalia cited to this legal textbook in March of 2008, it’s not outrageous to think he might also refer to “The Laws of Nations” on the natural born Citizen issue?
I’ll leave you now with the relevant textbook definition of natural born citizen. The following was published in 1758. This definition, added to all of the above, certainly establishes a rational legal basis to hold that Barack Obama is not a natural born Citizen. And more than that, it puts the burden on those who deny it to don the tin foil hat of despair and bring forthwith to the table of honest debate their own bed of authority to lie in:
§ 212. Citizens and natives.
The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens.
As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights. The society is supposed to desire this, in consequence of what it owes to its own preservation; and it is presumed, as matter of course, that each citizen, on entering into society, reserves to his children the right of becoming members of it. The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent. We shall soon see whether, on their coming to the years of discretion, they may renounce their right, and what they owe to the society in which they were born. I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country.

“Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream
It is not dying, it is not dying.
Lay down all thought, surrender to the void
It is shining, it is shining.
That you may see, the meaning of within
It is being, it is being.
That love is all, and love is everyone
It is knowing, it is knowing.”
~The Beatles, “Tomorrow Never Knows” (1966)
The upshot, so far, is that in our moral lives in a material world, everything is up for grabs.
Reactions to this varied. One was the turn to mind-altering drugs, led by such writers as Aldous Huxley (1894 – 1963) whose The Doors of Perception (1954) was the source of a different 1960s rock group’s name, and of course Timothy Leary (“Tune in, turn on, drop out”). Transcendent reality may not exist in the material world but can be found in your head! The 1960s hippies began to “drop acid” (LSD, lysergic acid diethylamide). Some would claim to “see God.” Acid rock was its musical expression, proclaiming mystical revelations of peace and love. Others, of course, experienced sometimes terrifying hallucinations caused by the drug’s radical altering of their perceptions. I recall from my graduate student days a past user telling me how he’d seen his stereo grow a mouth, as the music coming from his speakers took the form of two arms reaching his way as it tried to eat him. People with latent personality disorders, or just the anxiety-prone, were especially susceptible to bad experiences with LSD. Some users ended up with psychoses, or simply “burned out” from repeated usages with permanent brain damage: “acid casualties.” All of which makes the reality-is-in-your-head route a risky one to travel down!
Many of that generation’s parents, however, had turned away from the problem, leaving them vulnerable to criticisms of them as morally shallow, having sold their souls to the corporate system. “If it feels good, do it” is a phrase associated with the hippies, but there was a sense in which the prevailing ethos was closer to this sort of phrase than their elders cared to admit. Convenience reigned. This was true in business, in government, in academia. If it’s convenient, do it. Consider abortion, which had become an issue well before Roe v. Wade (1973). Sexual license (also a problem in some communities before the liberation movements of the 1960s) led to unwanted pregnancies; simple as that. Despite the prattling about those cases when “the mother’s life is in danger,” over 99% of abortions are abortions of convenience. Abortion’s legal acceptability has led to the killing of over 50 million unborn babies and counting. I will not torture readers with the bizarre rationalizations feminist philosophy professors have produced (it is hard to call them philosophers with a straight face), except to note that the linguistic sleight of hand used has been intended to deprive the unborn and sometimes even the newly born of moral standing, and hence any claim on life that others are obligated to respect. The Nazis and other totalitarians did the same thing, removing those to be eliminated from the moral community.
But then again, if Benedict, Dewey, Rorty, and others are correct, then the only moral standing anyone has is what their society, or the state, gives them. What the state and social approval give, the state and social approval can take away, whether its targets are Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, etc., under the Nazis; those who resisted collectivized farming under Stalin; or the unborn in our own culture. It is possible, by this reading, that a future Christian civilization might regard this last as one of the largest and most insidious holocausts of all.
The tendency, as we have seen, has been to evade the issues, or to simply stop thinking about them. Many theologians would succumb fully to the “death of God” by the 1960s, even as their children were “finding Him” in recreational chemistry. Secularization was one of the manifestations of materialism having captured Western culture. Harvey Cox (1929 – ), one of the leaders of the “death of God” movement, wrote in his The Secular City (1965) that secularization “bypasses and undercuts religion and goes on to other things…. The world looks less and less to religious rules and rituals for its morality or its meanings.”
I recently finished one of the most comprehensive accounts I have seen of the modern, secular attempt “to live after the death of God”: The Age of Atheists: How We Have Sought to Live since the Death of God (2014) by British intellectual historian Peter Watson (1943 – ). Watson’s account ranges across philosophy, art, poetry, literature, and science — or, more exactly, science-promotion, as he includes evangelical atheists such as Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, and Sam Harris, which is materialism promotion in my sense of that term. Watson is a reasonably honest thinker, and those who maintain (as I do) that materialism has no hope of providing society with a sound moral foundation and direction will find support for their views in his work. So despite the title and themes (and tediousness at times), the book merits study. At the end, Watson does not endorse mere science-promotion but rather seeks to explain why many credible authors, writers, poets and artists have found the “scientific worldview” too narrow. His answer isn’t especially satisfying.
It comes down to the idea that, given God’s absence, the “central sane activity” (title of the book’s meandering closing chapter) is “sheer wondering inquiry,” and a grasping for those lonely moments of meaningfulness and life-affirmation. Different authors have given them different names. Abraham Maslow, for example, called them “peak experiences”; James Joyce spoke of “epiphanies”; Malroux, of “temporary refuges”; Yeats, of “brief moments of ecstatic affirmation”; Ibsen, of “flashes of spiritual value.” These moments, Watson insists, can be had in loving relationships, the satisfaction of various desires, the experience of hearing an especially moving piece of music or seeing a work of art or reading poetry, or in any number of other ways including just the mundane satisfaction of a job well done.
Even if you are a secularist, are you really satisfied with this?
Study them closely, and you see that these experiences, real though they may be, are private and personal; one comes away sensing the difficulty the writers have in communicating their content to others. They are more the stuff of poetry than philosophy. They are, however, pleasant — momentary “highs” — and we are inching our way back to the possibility that psychoactive drugs can be used to trigger such experiences artificially and expand them indefinitely if the results are satisfying enough to outweigh the dangers.
All this seems like denial to me. Of the obvious. By turning away from the larger picture, the one both Nietzsche and Russell were courageous enough to face, to focus on those nice little particulars we experience or arrange for ourselves, whether in our private lives or by using recreational chemicals, we evade the important consequence of materialism:
That once you’ve removed God and transcendence from your worldview, there are no binding moral values, binding in the sense of being definitive and authoritative, and suggesting a lasting, inescapable, personal penalty for their violation. There is only state authority, popularity, physical pleasure, and these ephemeral on-top-of-the-world moments — all of which end in death, which the materialist understands as the permanent extinction of consciousness and personality. You cease to exist as completely as the nonexistence that preceded your conception. Presumably after those final anxious moments before you wink out, you won’t be worried about it.
Watson correctly observes that many people in secular society seem to have no problem with this. They have either rejected “religion” without further thought, or simply grew up without it. He writes:
“We need to remind ourselves … that many people — and perhaps the quieter souls among us — see no problem in God being dead. For them his death is no source of anxiety or perplexity…. [S]uch individuals are not “metaphysical types” and seek no “deep” meaning in existence. They just get on with their lives, making ends meet, living from day to day and season to season, enjoying themselves where they can, untroubled by matters that so perplex their neighbors. They have no great expectations that the big questions will ever be settled, so devote no time to their elucidation. In some ways, they are the most secular people of all and perhaps the most content” (The Age of Atheists, pp. 532-33).
Such folks blend smoothly into the majority, the masses of humanity in advanced civilization, meeting its demands on them, and no more thinking independently today than the third or so who were content with British rule in the 1770s and another third who didn’t care so long as they had food on the table. If asked, they will say they have no time for such matters as these. They will vote for mainstream candidates without question, and only start asking questions when their supposed leaders send their kids off to die in foreign wars as cannon fodder, if even then. They are first veilers. While many are nice people and good at what they do, should we trust their collective judgment with matters as far from everyday experience, and as important, as whether or not one should believe in God as the source of moral valuation?
2016 Steven Yates – All Rights Reserved
Valerie Jarrett, who’s seemed to have jumped into the role of Lie Czar for this week’s White House public relations sell – supplanting perhaps Susan Rice, of “blame Benghazi on a video fame” — donned her anti-truth shield and took to national TV to showcase her skills and tell the watching public: My boss, President Obama, isn’t really bypassing Congress by issuing executive orders for gun control.
That little thing called executive order? Don’t mind that. Them’s just words.
“Let’s be specific,” she said, in a broadcast interview in the lead-up to Obama’s issuance of his not-bypassing-Congress-but-still-coming-unilaterally order. “The president is not circumventing Congress.”
And with that, the straight-faced Jarrett skewered through the definition of executive order itself – as if the American public were thhat stupid.
Why is this administration so bent on bending the truth?
Scratch that. That answer’s obvious – to grab power and control at all costs. But understanding the motive doesn’t make it any less maddening. Perhaps the better question is: Why are there so many in this White House with such careless regard for the truth?
Wordplay is an art with these guys, so much so that entire websites have been created to keep track of Team Obama’s spin. Remember White House press secretary Jay Carney? Well, he’s got his own “9 Top Lies” website. Another of the old gang, Stephanie Cutter, former campaign spin-meister for then-candidate Obama, even sparked her own hashtag — #FireLiarStef. What a proud moment for the elder Mrs. Cutter that must have been. Obama alone has several websites dedicated to tracking his lies, most notably by the Pulitzer Prize-winning PolitiFact, a site that can hardly be pointed to as right-wing propaganda but that nonetheless found double-digit cause to ding the president over the years (don’t forget to scroll to the next pages at the bottom of the link). And we’re still trying to sift through the lies and deceptions and cover-ups and so forth of Obama’s first administration. Think Hillary Clinton and her whole “what difference at this point does [the truth] make” moment. Think again the previously mentioned former national security adviser Susan’s Rice sad and despicable parrot squawks of You Tube videos sparking terrorism, followed by her equally sad and despicable characterization of U.S. Army deserter Bowe Bergdahl as “honorable.”
It’s been a busy couple of administrations. Unfortunately, it shows no signs of letting up. Obama isn’t going to grow a conscience any time soon. His hand-picks aren’t going to fly the proverbial straight arrows. His White House assemblage isn’t going to suddenly right its tipped moral compass. And most specifically, Jarrett isn’t going to admit her shamelessly presented shameful spin on words is all fallacy, aimed at confounding an already confounded public.
More of the same – that’s all we can expect from thiis president and this White House these next 12 months.
So what’s a fed-up patriot to do? Take heart. Fisher Ames, a Founding Father with considerable oratory skills, is said to have remarked: “Our liberty depends on our education, our laws and our habits – it is founded on morals and religion, whose authority reigns in the heart, and on the influence all these produce on public opinion before that opinion governs rulers.”
And with that in mind: The election’s coming.
The president’s leaving, and with him, his team of skilled skewers of truth. It’s not that the incoming commander-in-chief, either Democrat or Republican, will be perfect followers of the “I will not tell a lie” way of thinking. But chances are, the voters are so fed up with the easy lying this administration does, the next White House chief to be elected won’t be half as bad – meaning, not HHillary – and the change on Capitol Hill won’t be one of jusst mouths, rhetoric and politicking, but also heart, morals and religion.

I’ve been listening for many hours to T.V. and radio “common taters” and should the protesters at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge Headquarters use the first amendment of free speech and non-violent demonstrations like Martin Luther King and his “civil rights” movement or should they use the Second Amendment and bring their guns? Polls support county, state and/or local control of Oregon’s Natural Resource land and not mentioned in all the news sources is that both the Bundy and Hammond ranches are possibly sitting on precious metals which the BLM desperately wants.
NEVER LET A SERIOUS CRISIS GO TO WASTE
Do you find it coincidental that President Obama has once again used the incident in Oregon to promote his unconstitutional anti-gun executive orders and with tears flowing down his face plans to hire hundreds more federal agents to catch the bad guys by unaccountable bureaucrats? Readers will recall President Obama’s chief of Staff, Rahm Emamuel, who made a habit of bullying legislators in the House gym showers, uttering the increasingly famous dictum in 2011: “Never let a serious crisis go to waste.”[1] In other words, a wise leader should take advantage of any dire situation to promote his agenda.
COMPROMISED MEDIA
In today’s hobgoblin along with a compromised established media to bend the truth, we are confronted with one fear after another “coincidence.” While there are many stories to be told, I suppose the San Bernardino is the last but another was the Sandy Hook school shooting. All this chatter is worthless because we no longer have a Constitutional form of government that was devised by our Founders so we could have checks and balances. That was all well and good providing the public school system taught civics so the people would remain informed of THEIR RIGHTS and avoid being “politically correct.”. However, civics is no longer emphasized making it easy for the Power Elite to dumb down people so they will just panic when disaster hits and the use of crises is an important technique the Power elite uses to accomplish its goals.
REPUBLICAN RICHARD NIXON REPLACES CONSTITUTION
Yes, our Constitutional Republic was replaced by REPUBLICAN Richard Nixon with his unconstitutional Executive Order 11647 in February 1987 with United Nations Regional Administrative government that turned our country into a democracy (a dictatorship) which allows the infiltration of unelected subversives into all the now unconstitutional governmental agencies created since then – the Bureau of Land Management being one of them that is strongly influenced and controlled by the left-wing New Age environmental Pollyannas, who worship the creation instead of the Creator, and are out to destroy Capitalism.
These Regional administrative traitors never accept defeat so they come back again and again as they’ve done with the Hammonds who have refused to sell their land to the BLM. Read the whole story here.
In Ruby Ridge, Idaho a sharp shooter killed Vicki Weaver as she held her baby in her arms. At the Branch Davidian in Waco, Texas, President Clinton and his Attorney General Janet Reno sent the military to burn down the facility where 86 humans, including 17 little children lived with an “unscanctioned” religious belief. Therefore, in order to avoid similar events in Oregon, Dwight Hammond, Jr. 73, and his son, Steven, 46, chose to turn themselves in for a second term in prison (double jeopardy) for mistakenly burning 127 BLM acres. And the Harney County sheriff told Bundy and his followers to peacefully return to their families in Utah. They refused even when Oregon’s governor asked them to leave. One of their stipulations was to have the Hammonds released from prison.
FORESTS BURN – NO ACCOUNTABILITY
Year after year out west where government controls nearly all the land, we watch our forests burn due to lack of proper management by the BLM without accountability but now the Hammonds go to prison for a second time being accused this time of being “terrorists” under the Federal Anti-Terrorism Death Penalty Act of 1996 – an act that carries a minimum sentence of five years in prison and a maximum sentence of death. This is why well-spoken Ammon Bundy from Utah and his followers, some toting guns, came to Oregon to protest the usurpation of unelected government goons. The Hammonds today – who tomorrow?
UNSANCTIONED RELIGIOUS BELIEFS
Reno described a cultist as “one who has a strong belief in the Bible and the Second Coming of Christ who frequently attends Bible Studies and who has a high level of financial giving to a Christian cause, who home schools their children, has a strong belief in the Second Amendment, distrusts big government and accumulates survival food therefore justifying the assassination at the Branch Davidian.[2]
CHRISTIANITY A THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY
Obama sees Christians as a threat to National Security. At George Washington University in October 2015, Obama’s assistant attorney general for national security, John Carlin, revealed that the Department of Justice was creating a brand new position just to monitor them. The position, Domestic Terrorism Counsel, was created to combat the “real and present threat “ of domestic terrorism which they consider is the Family Research Council and the American Family Association according to false information fed to them by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Of course, shortly after Ruby Ridge and Waco, Tim McVeigh, who claimed no Christian affiliations, was alleged to have bombed the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City on 4/19/1995 for which he was eventually put to death in June 2011. He was accused of committing the worst terrorist act on American soil until 9/11 but Clinton and Reno? In his 2007 book HOLIER THAN THOU by Alan Stang said President Clinton appointed career drunk Jan ‘the man’ Reno, who served as Attorney General between arrests for molesting teenage girls and it was Jan who incinerated those victims at Waco. “Guilty as sin, free as a bird. America is a great Country” said Bill Ayers after he and his gang of revolutionaries bombed a building killing a policeman.[3] And what is a current happening in Oklahoma city? A Satanic black Mass.
THE QUESTION OF MORALITY
North Carolina passed a ban on gay marriage in 2012 but in Oregon, it’s full speed ahead. Martin Luther King’s “Civil Rights” movement for lawful demonstrations has been hijacked by the most rebellious, immoral and depraved segment of our society. The acceptance of homosexuality and the elevation of that aberration to normality began in the 1960s by using the mass media as a cunning strategy, especially entertainment and other establishment-controlled institutions to re-educate the public in favor of sodomy.
CHRISTIANS CAUGHT IN THE WEB
Today bumptious public sector workers persecute and harasses innocent people like in the I.R.S. but then we have the State of Oregon where Marion County Judge Vance Day and business owner, Melissa Klein become victims of “intolerance.” A few years ago it was OK for businesses to post a sign that read, “No shirts, no shoes, no service,” and in July 1996 the Oregonian newspaper refused to publish an announcement of two lesbians who wanted to marry but Mellissa and Aaron Klein from Sweet Cakes by Melissa in Oregon recently paid a $135,000 fine plus interest to the Oregon Bureau of Labor for refusing to bake a wedding cake for a lesbian couple two years earlier claiming it violated their Christian faith. Melissa had been more than happy to sell Laurel & Rachel Bowman-Cryer bakery goods but she apparently was unaware of a new law passed in 2007 that was created to protect the rights of gays, lesbians, bisexuals and the transgender people in employment, housing and public accommodations again hijacking MLK Civil Rights that was to protect people of color. The lesbian couple claimed “emotional suffering” because of her refusal to bake the wedding cake so the Bureau of Labor became their advocate and did their dirty work – raising money for homosexual causes. But supporters of Melissa raised a half million with the balance now in a trust fund.
OREGON JUDGE WON’T MARRY GAYS
In the case against Oregon Circuit Court Judge Vance Day, he was having to defend himself against charges that he violated State Code of Judicial Conduct that ranged from insignificant to trivial. Among the things that the Judicial Fitness Commission considered violations of state ethics rules included handing his business card to a soccer referee who had asked for it; hanging displays of memorabilia honoring the service of American military veterans on the walls outside his office; and even hanging pictures of former presidents of the United States; however, the most significant was his decision to excuse himself from performing marriages after U.S. District Judge Michael McShane’s 2014 ruling that effectively legalized gay marriage in Oregon. Presiding at weddings is something that state court judges are permitted to do, but it is not required, and it is not part of a judge’s core responsibilities. Perhaps another reason for all these alleged “violations” was because Day was a former chair of the Oregon GOP in this one-party progressive, socialist Democrat state. All this costs money so Day had to open a Defense Fund. The current status is unknown at this writing.
This 2007 legislation passed with the blessing of Democrat John Kitzhaber, a Democrat Senate president and the speaker of the House, Democrat Jeff Merkley, now in Congress. And after Oregon’s former governor John Kitzaber resigned in January 2014, Oregon now has a self-proclaimed transgender Kate Brown as governor. It’s been a year and Kitzhabewr and his live-in girlfriend First Lady Cylvia are “guilty as hell but free as a bird. Isn’t America a great place if you are a Democrat?”
SAGEBRUSH REBELLION AND A PRAYER FOR THE HAMMONDS
What is going on in Eastern Oregon is not new. The July 1983 READER’S DIGEST wrote that during a campaign stop in Salt Lake City, Ronald Reagan made a fateful commitment to a group of Western ranchers. “I am one who supports the sagebrush rebellion,” he declared, “Count me in as a rebel.” In a bizarre sequence of events that commitment allied President Reagan with extremist groups of anti-environmentalists, that led directly to his troubles with the unconstitutional Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
President Reagan called upon James Watt to serve as Secretary of Interior causing disarray in the environmental movement. I had a bumper sticker on my car which said, “I know Watts right” and while driving through liberal college-town Eugene, Oregon a car tried to run me off the road. Watt was doing a tremendous job of reigning in the “greenies” so they began to discuss strategies among themselves in an all-out publicity campaign to remove Watt from office and it got really ugly. Jim Watt quoted Psalm 62 when he was going through his persecution in 1982-83. “I stand silently before the Lord, waiting for Him to rescue me…” A good prayer for the Hammonds.
ONCE AGAIN MEDIA CAUSES DIVISIONS
In a later 3/22/1984 article in our Salem, Oregon statesman Journal Watt said he had “the finest record ever put together by any administration.” He repeatedly blamed the national media for most of his problems during his three years in President Reagan’s cabinet. “ I’ve not been in trouble because of what I’ve said but because of what people attributed to me,” he said.
The Sagebrush Rebellion was led by Western cattle and sheep men who grazed their herds on Texas-size domain of arid, government-owned rangeland run by the Interior Department, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) that claimed over the years the pounding of too many hoofs, its pastures had been turned into dust bowls during dry months and a sea of mud when it rained. In the 1970s conservation groups won a series of court orders and Congressional battles designed to force BLM to crack down on overgrazing. The Sagebrush Rebellion was the ranchers’ response: A counter attack to break BLM once and for all by getting Congress to turn its vast domain over to the states, which of course, never happened as set forth in the recent uprising in Harney County.
I also have seen first -hand government abuses. I was born and raised in wheat country in Eastern Washington. A number of years ago another one of those unconstitutional governmental agencies told the wheat farmers, who grow our food, they were to plow under a certain amount of acreage and plant sagebrush!!!As a small child, I can remember people clearing the land of sagebrush so they could plant crops. Go figure…Yes, indeed, the world is full of government sycophants with millionaire retirements who cannot tell their children they’ve done an honest day of work.

THE SAME OLD BEAT, STILL ON TRACK
What the title of this article is referring to is this thing of our continually being confronted, over and over, with the contrived and manipulated series of crises.
What we have been currently going through, and are about to have forced upon us by the Obama Administration, is the Trans-pacific Partnership (TPP). It will be followed by the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership.(TTIP). This will be done with help from the traitorous Republican leadership, along with the rank and file members.
These two so-called “free trade” proposals are being pushed, supposedly, or ostensibly, as a cure for our economic woes. The beginning of this insanity initially began with another “free trade” fiasco by the name of NAFTA. It too was also contrived. NAFTA was supposed to bring us an unimaginable amount of prosperity, but remember what happened – it was just the opposite, wasn’t it? Our jobs are gone, manufacturing is gone, and the trade deficit is huge.
The result was the beginning of an economic crises. So, now, since we have this crises, with people being out of work, then something has to be done. Everyone can see that. What is their Hegelian Dialectic answer is to this mess, is that we must bring forth another “free trade” agreement to get us out of this crises. However, they’re selling this pig in a poke by stating that it must be much stronger than the one before that resulted in us being in this fix. The previous one, NAFTA, GATT, etc., was just too weak.
I’m being satirical here — I hope you can see that, yet it’s true!
Congress has been sucked into supporting this so-called “free trade” scheme. How? By all the hype about how it’s going to boost our economy, including the fear tactic that is being spread by the Obama Administration, along with practically all the Republican leadership.
The way it plays out is as follows: The New York Times reported that “U.S. Allies see the Trans-Pacific Partnership as a check on China.” What hogwash!
Congressional aides have claimed that the TPP would stop Chinese economic aggression in the Pacific. And, neoconservative groups, i.e., Neo-Cons – Trotskyites, are promoting the same idea.
This is a sample of what has resulted in the buildup to promote the passage of the TPP among conservatives in the U.S. Congress and, seemingly, throughout most of the American business community.
It’s all about trade, they say. Nothing is ever said about the loss of sovereignty. This, of course, tells me they are well aware that it (LOSS OF SOVEREIGNTY) will happen. Since they never mention anything about this, that means it is purposely being omitted from the dialog, and they don’t want it being discussed.
This, of course, reveals that the promoters of, and subscribers to, this scheme are in collusion with the forces which have as its/their goals, the complete destruction of all fundamental American principles. This, of course, coincides with what Obama has declared as his goal, “TO FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORM AMERICA.” However, he may claim it as his goal, but the agenda for it was being followed before he came along, or was even heard of. He only had the baton handed to him to possibly bring it to fruition.
Even though it is being touted as a means to deter China from its economic aggression, according to what I have seen in my limited research, the plan is to bring China in later. So it’s just a scare tactic to suck conservatives in who don’t know anything, and haven’t the desire to learn or research.
In addition to the so-called “free trade” agenda which is being pushed by the Obama Administration, and supported by the Republican leadership including all the contenders for the Republican nomination with exception of Trump, we now have this refugee crises which is a threat to our domestic security.
There is no doubt in my mind that it too has been contrived.
It plays into Obama’s goal of “Fundamentally Transforming America.” This is what he said he was going to do, and everything he has done, or proposed, has been toward that goal.
Consider this: If the “free trade” fiasco becomes law, it will practically put an end to our sovereignty as an independent nation. We will be nearly all the way into the European Union which will put us about one step away from Total World Government. This will practically destroy all freedom from the earth.
Now, if that isn’t enough, just think about all these illegals, plus the untold thousands of refugees, which we know will be saturated with future terrorists, to be turned loose on the people at some future date. And couple that with the possibility that this president and these Congress criminals all have the desire to totally disarm us, resulting in our inability to protect our lives and property.
Next in the drama is, if our local law enforcement is being controlled by the Federal Government, which has been in the plans for some time now – then all our foundations for protection of Life, liberty, and property will be no more. This brings to mind a quotation from the Bible, “IF THE FOUNDATIONS BE DESTROYED – WHAT WILL THE RIGHTEOUS DO? Moreover, what will any of us do – righteous or not?
All of this fits in with the Lefts’ Modus Operandi (Method of Operation), which they advance through a series of crises. If one exists, they use it to bring about change; if one doesn’t exist, then they create one. Then, through their control of the media they denounce it; while at the same time they ostensibly, or supposedly, appear to be with the people. When the people get stirred up enough to begin clamoring for a solution to the crises, then those who started it will come forth with the solution.
That very solution was what they had in mind at the beginning which was calculated to bring about more change, but always in the direction desired by the left This always leads to a subsequent crises, and the process starts all over again.
Call your Congressman, and Senators now; tell them to oppose all so-called “free trade” legislation as well as any support for the refugees being resettled here. Also, tell them to oppose any attempts to control the internet, for in order for us to work against all this, we need the internet. I know we’ve called before and many believe it does no good, but if enough of us raise Cain and close down their rotten phone lines, then perhaps we can at least stop some of this for the time being. C’mon America, we are supposed to be land of the free, home of the brave. It’s about danged time we get up and show them that’s what we want and what we’re willing to fight for!

What consumes you? Stay with me and think about what I’m asking. Where is your focus? What are your goals? What drives you? Each person would probably have a different answer depending on their personal circumstances or concerns. Thoughts and feelings can consume us, either positively or negatively, depending on how we feel at any given moment. There are many of us who are consumed with worry and stress. The economy, the ever-growing threat of terrorism, the decline of family and relationships, the upcoming elections…I could go on and on but you get my point; we are a people filled with anxiety.
There are many of us who are consumed with anger and unforgiveness. We read headlines designed to inflame us; we watch cable news shows designed to inflame us; and we listen to speeches by political pundits which are designed to inflame us. We are obsessed with a burning indignation for anyone who disagrees or who believes differently than we do.
There are many of us who are consumed with fear. We fear being labeled-whether it be politically incorrect, intolerant, bigoted, or an extremist if we take any type of stand for ourselves or our beliefs. We watch as the Middle East implodes (or explodes, depending upon your point of view) and we are fearful that the fate that so many have suffered at the hand of evil awaits us. We fear that our country will never recover from the slippery slope of sin and debauchery lovingly embraced by so many. We cry out as we watch our cultural and traditional mores pushed headfirst into an abyss of total darkness with seemingly no point of return.
There are many of us consumed with depression. We feel hopeless and helpless in the face of our worries, anger, and fear. We have gradually descended into a black pit of desperation searching frantically for some type of relief while praying for a glimmer of light. Or, we knowingly accept the deception that there is nothing we can do to change the course of events or circumstances that we find ourselves in–either individually or collectively as a nation.
I am telling you now that there is hope. Fear and anxiety stems from uncertainty.
I want to share with you my most recent “AHA!” moment that shook me to my core. I was praying. For me. My concerns, my anxieties, my fears, it was all about me. My prayers could not have been more self-centered. In the midst of my selfishness, I had this thought, “How dare I?”.
How dare I worry about what the future holds– much less tomorrow? Want to talk about an uncertain future? There are people throughout this world who are daily persecuted and martyred for their faith. These are people with the same feelings and emotions we are all given who have never backed down from their faith in the promise of eternal life with Jesus Christ. Do you not think that they must live every single day with the uncertainty of their tomorrows? Will the new morning bring torture, captivity, or an agonizing death? Yet, they persevere in their faith because of their hope in Jesus Christ. Christians in Syria are called “people of the grass” because that’s all they can find to eat. When is the last time you ate grass? Do you have a bed to rest upon, a home to call your own? Think of the nightmarish reality that so many families must face as they flee the only home they have ever known or risk slavery and certain death for refusing to renounce their faith.
You may say it’s coming but, as of today, no one has held a knife to my throat and told me to convert or die. Thank you, Jesus.
Don’t get me wrong. We are told in 1 Peter 5:7 to “cast all your anxiety upon Him, because He cares for you”. Please go to your Heavenly Father who loves you and who has promised that He will never leave you or forsake you. Give Him your fears and worries. Be aware… there will be times when we will find ourselves snatching our cares out of His hands just as quickly as they were released to Him (usually takes me about five minutes!). Give them back!
Today, I want to challenge you as I challenge myself to trust God fully in all things. Let’s learn to examine our anxieties, our feelings of futility, and our fears in the light of God’s Word. If we are going to be consumed, let’s be consumed by “…a hope that does not disappoint”. Let’s be consumed by “the peace of God, which passeth all understanding”. Let’s be consumed by Him, the one and only great “I Am”.

Anyone who knows me knows I cannot stand Hillary Clinton. Nothing personal – it’s not because she is a Democrat, white or a woman, but because she is a liar, cheat and manipulator and I could go on and on and on.
But in my pay to playbook, right is right and wrong is wrong and when you have super PAC big boys throwing money around at Presidential candidates especially if you have done your research, you really have to wonder.
I also have written in my playbook that I am sick to death of POLITICIANS along with the LOBBYISTS running this country, deliberately ignoring the wishes of the American people and the Constitution. I never can forget George Washington’s “Farewell Address”, (he was such a smart man) where he leaves a legacy of great opinions and paths to take and not take in leading this country. The sad thing is today, if we follow our elected officials and their paths, the whole country would be nothing but liars, cheats and deceivers, not just those elected to office.
Washington warned that “political parties” would be the ruination of the country because they in fact pit one faction of the country against the other putting in place a divide that might never be fixed. This divide would be fueled by the “egos of men” (women were not in government then) and the “divide” would be mostly with the “people” not the elected/politicians. Washington was so very right!
The Left has been doing some pretty hard hitting against Trump, but then so has the Right. Are they afraid of him because he isn’t a “normal” politician, isn’t afraid to “tell it like it is”, he can’t be bought and doesn’t need their money? Probably all of those things and more. What I know for sure is unlike our elected, Trump’s life has been an open book most of his life – but this is not a campaign piece for Trump, but to show how deceptive and deceitful our politicians are today. Even Louie Gohmert has let America down.
Right is throwing some very big money around supporting candidates that are either not eligible or not fit to sit in the White House chair any more than Obama or Hillary. They are also feeding a PAC to try and keep Hillary out and it is how they play the game that is so amazing.
I am so happy there are groups out there of investigative journalists who not only cannot be bought, but are not afraid to tell the truth. The Center for Public Integrity is one of those groups. They just broke the story about super Pac’s Future45 and her sister nonprofit 45Committee who are “focused on holding Secretary Clinton accountable by making certain that the American public has the full breadth of information on Secretary Clinton’s failures.”
Actually I think the American people are pretty up on just who and what Hillary is especially those who follow the truth. Most of her supporters just happen to be Democrats and they have to support the party no matter what or they are women who believe it is time we had a woman president no matter what kind of a person she is. Her record certainly speaks for itself. But then “what difference does it make”?
Benghazi is enough to curl the hair on the back of any parent’s neck especially if their son or daughter is on active duty. It comes down to more than just the lack of accepting responsibility for your actions. What difference does it make? We are putting our military in Leavenworth for carrying out actions of war and if it is your loved one – one hell of a lot of difference.
So lady why not just stand up and admit you, Obama and military factions had set up this gun running gig and it went bad? Why is it you seem to always find a greater self- satisfaction in lying and deception? Those Americans out there supporting Hillary and Obama don’t you understand it might be your son or daughter next time?
In today’s news media there is nothing that gets hidden for an eternity and this idea the government has the right to keep the truth from the American people for “National Security” reasons is a big bunch of bunk. When politicians or the CIA, FBI or any other federal agency screams “National Security” they are covering their own butts – they are not protecting the American people or America.
They know there was a leak to the Taliban and that the helicopter’s landing zone was not properly vetted for threats nor protected by gunships, while commanders criticized the mission as too rushed. Too rushed? And as if this wasn’t enough for the families to bear:
• You retrieve their bodies and send them home in SEALED coffins to their parents not knowing if the coffin supposedly holding their son is theirs or not
• The PRESIDENT of the U.S. HIRES a Muslim IMAM to officiate at their service and he “damns” these dead Americans in front of the world
• Biden had already betrayed the Seals involved by telling the world it was them that killed Bin Laden
• But how could they have killed Bin Laden when he died in December, 2001 from kidney failure in New York City?
• Was the original Bin Laden deal nothing more than to make Obama look good before his re-election and Extortion 17 to make sure they never leaked the truth?
We are talking about our government leaders here! Just more of the same on any given day!
Back to the Republican Party and their money! Long time republicans know the party is not now what it used to be. They only difference between the R and D party’s is their name and symbol. They stand in front of the cameras arguing different sides of an issue and then go out and have dinner together or make a trip to Europe or the Mid-East paid for by Turkey’s Fethullah Gulen or the Koch Brothers or any other given lobbyist group.
Our best example of the coziness between the two sides is George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton. I wonder if the Bush boys get jealous when Clinton tells the press G.H.W. is like a father to him or if they embrace him as a brother in crime.
They play both sides of the road. Koch Brothers make me ill, throwing their money at candidates like water and then one sits on the Board of the Aspen Institute – the George Soros group and then tries to tell the world they are conservative and the good guys. Some of their actions are pretty dirty to include polluting the St. John’s River in Florida for the past 10+ years from their Georgia-Pacific mill toxic waste. Once again the politician’s gave them the permission to be able to do this, but they all knew what they were doing.
Koch Brothers are one of the newest to infiltrate our children’s education system with whatever their agenda is – who knows? It only takes money these days!
The games they play leave an average person with their head spinning most of the time. Take the $500,000 Ted Cruz’s PAC “Keep the Promise 1” which gave to Carly Fiorina’s PAC “Carly for America” back in June when Carly was still not allowed to debate with the big boys. And it is unheard of for one candidate running against another to donate to their opponent’s campaign. We aren’t talking “chunk change” here – we are talking about “a half a million $$”.
But then when it comes to Cruz although he always seems to say the right things at the right time, he is a George W. Bush boy (his mentor) just like Jeb Bush has been Rubio’s mentor since he first got his feet wet.
Cruz has the same way of not answering important questions just like Rubio. Cruz has shown me he also has a deceitful side because he is NOT an American citizen and is displaying exactly what our founders were afraid would happen if a president was not a “natural born citizen”. In fact what country is Cruz a citizen of?
Cruz has known he was still walking around this country as a Canadian citizen and it wasn’t until 2012 when he was running for the U.S. Senate the Dallas Dailey News broke the story and in 2013 Cruz dug out his Canadian birth certificate to show the world. What was that if not a snub to the American people? Where was his American birth certificate?
If he has a U.S. certificate he has never produced it because he can’t. He only just gave up his Canadian citizenship in June, 2014 so now he isn’t a citizen anywhere. No one has been able to find nor has Cruz shown that he has even filed for naturalization.
Look at it this way – Cruz by the Constitution is not even eligible to be a U.S. Senator and could have prior to 2014, if he had chosen to, at the same time voted in Canada and ran for the Parliament.
The whole reason the president must be a Natural Born Citizen is because our framers had a history full of foreign kings imposing foreign law and foreign favor upon the people and they knew how dangerous foreign influence was to Liberty. George Washington spent a great bit of effort trying to drive this understanding home in his Farewell Address of 1796:
“Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow-citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government.”
A person who is born of just one parent who is a citizen of the United States is a citizen by birth, but not a Natural Born Citizen. Someone cannot hold or have held dual citizenship with a foreign country and be a Natural Born Citizen. The fact that we are confused by this qualification or perhaps even wish to alter this qualification shows a lack of education or the willingness to follow along in the deceit.
Now is the time to CLEAN our country up – not ADD to the TRASH.
Take Rubio – he fits right in with Cruz since his parents did come to this country in May, 1956 and Rubio was born in 1971, but Rubio’s parents applied for “naturalization papers” on 9/9/75 over 19 years AFTER having arrived on our shores.
Rubio claims he is a citizen because the city of Miami had declared the Rubio’s were residents of the city and they had signed a document for permanent residence. Rubio likes to say “I am and have been a bona fide resident of the state of Florida since the 27th day of May, 1956.”
Maybe the Florida sun has scorched Rubio’s brain but all of that was 15 years before he was born and you cannot be a citizen of anything before even conception. There is a difference America to his father being a RESIDENT of Florida, a NATURALIZED AMERICAN or NATIVE born.
Look at Rubio’s big donor’s – he is not being called the “Million $$ Boy” for nothing! One of his long time donors is the “Sugar Daddy” Fanjul family which controls one of the world’s biggest sugar empires. They are well known for having perfected the neat trick of using US government subsidies to bribe the US government. Known as the “First Family of Corporate Welfare” they are almost single handedly destroying the Florida Everglades. But if you have money and love Jeb you are going to love Rubio.
Look at these candidates – all of their voting records. That and who they take money from should be of the utmost importance to you. Jeb Bush is NOT – I repeat NOT the best governor Florida has ever had as he wants you to believe. Enough said – read!
As Americans it is time we work our darnedest to undo all the damage these elected people have done to our country over the years. It is our responsibility to take control of our country and not give it over to gun bashers, terrorists, foreigners or anyone else with evil intentions. The politicians are never going to impose term limits on themselves so it is up to us to follow their voting records, who is funding them and hold them accountable for any deceitful actions or corruption. Votes on legislation counts too – did your congressman or senator vote for the EVIL ESEA “Every Student Succeeds Act”? Did you take the time to voice your opinion regarding that legislation, TPA, TPP or the Iran Deal?
Saying “Oh they don’t pay attention to what I think is a cop out – they do keep track and they will tell you “I haven’t had enough calls or e-mails for or against any given bill”. Use the power of your voice along with your hand at the ballot box.
AMERICA has always been supposed to be the “land of the people” not those who want to rule it.
Oh and the colors: Green for the money the politicians can be bought with and Yellow because they have no backbone to stand up against the corruption
NOTE: Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL) says it is NOT too late to present a “letter of IMPEACHMENT”. Call his office 1-202-225-5744 and also thank him
Over the years we have been reporting on illegal immigration.
We have shown you that Agenda 21/2030 calls for NO Borders.
It requires and demands that the UN be the end all and be all for its One World Governance. All policies must comply with the UN. One just has to look at the actions of Obama and Bush to see where their orders are coming from. They come from unelected boards and regional councils created right out the UN play book. The ultimate goal is to strip America of its wealth and natural resources mainly by the use of “Trade Agreements”, to make the US Constitution subservient to the UN Charter, to eliminate private property in the name of fairness and to divert America’s economy to third world countries in the name of eliminating hunger and poverty.
In the last 70 years since its inception, the UN has been the recipient of Trillions from the US. Yet we still have disease, hunger and poverty in third world countries. No one ever asks WHY? Perhaps if the UN communists and the variety of dictators – the real recipient of the trillions were not stealing their people would have money. How do I know? Again, I will ask – Where are the Billions that Americans donated for the Haitian people due to the earthquake? I know it was given to the Bush / Clinton coalition; but somehow it never got to the Haitian people. It is time to stop the money train like those “just donate $19.95 for starving children in Africa.” commercials. Wonder why after 40 years of donations we see the same commercials over and over? Just look at the salaries and overhead of those organizations. They want your money.
Illegal immigration, refugees, open borders are just code for MONEY, POWER CONTROL. How do I know? They tell us. We just don’t listen, we don’t believe they mean what they say. This is a breakdown of one of the groups bleeding the America people. The International Resettlement Committee, headed by David Miliband, currently paying many religious charities to accept refugees while Americans can not put food on their tables and veterans sleep in tents and cars.
Wait…that David Miliband is not THE David Miliband, failed Labour Party leader in England? Tell me NO, it’s not possible:
It is possible and now David Miliband has a new gig, the Refugee Resettlement Head of the UN. How much does he make for working 37.5 hours a week?
Aside from his bloated salary what did he just say: Resettlement contractor David Miliband admits your anger over Syrian refugees is a threat to “global governance”. Finally the truth.
What does David want? Sustainable developments so people can be managed and controlled. Who will head this Global Governance? Why the UN of course.
David’s, International Rescue Committee (IRC) is really a lobby group that “awards” good officials for doing their bidding. George Soros and John McCain are some of the recipients. IRC also lobbied the Gang of Eight – this includes Marco Rubio. [Link]
Just to make things easier, the IRC has an office in DC.
Why are Americans ignorant of the theft by the UN NGO’s? The Media and School.
The media who refuses to report anything they are not told to report
and
Worst of all: the schools who now teach the government is the answer. Americans are now taught: Do not resist. Do not question the government. You must comply. You must be PC.
So following Cloward and Piven: In order to destroy capitalism overload the system, Americans sit silent while hundreds of thousands of illegals and refugees who will not assimilate, take their money, resources and freedom.
Or have you stopped being silent? Do you finally realize that if we lose our FREEDOM, Americans will join the rest of the third world in poverty.
Illegal immigration and refugee programs are not about helping anyone. IT IS ABOUT DESTROYING THE WEST. DESTROYING AMERICA. while creating a global regime who will dominate the world. Money, Power, Control
Will you sit and watch or will you learn and act.
Sweden got the message
Switzerland got the message: The military General leader told the people, buy more guns to protect yourself.
The UK, Czech President and French PM all said this is not about refugees, this is an invasion.
What happens in America:
The Regime spends billions restricting Americans while the border is open letting invaders in.
The Regime wants gun control of Americans making protecting yourself harder, while the border is open letting invaders in.
The Regime wants background checks, already ruled as unconstitutional while the borders are open letting invaders in. [Link]
Americans are called terrorists while protecting their land from an unconstitutional BLM while the border remains open letting invaders in.
The Regime focuses on the climate diversion while the borders are open letting invaders in. [Link]
Americans are called terrorists while protecting their land from an unconstitutional BLM who got the land with an unconstitutional Executive Order while the border remains open letting invaders in.
In the end, Americans will pay with their lives, money and country while the border remains open letting invaders in.
What can you do?
Talk to friends and neighbors
Go to town meetings and demand your legislators take a stand.
Meet with your sheriff. Ask: Who will you protect?
Only support a candidate who will CLOSE THE BORDER and protect Americans not the invaders.
Forward this to your family, friends, students, facebook, twitter and YOUR LEGISLATOR and candidates.

In 2015, I bicycled down the West Coast of California as a part of one of the world’s epic cycling journeys from Canada to Mexico.
Every curve on Route 101 featured endless rock islands anywhere from 50 to 200 yards out into the Pacific Ocean. Some big, some small! The road carved over the terrain like a giant Anaconda with no end in sight. Each time the highway neared the ocean; I enjoyed those multifaceted islands featuring an array of seabirds perched on them whose waste turned the rocks white. Some birds flew in groups barely skimming the ocean. Others stood on the beaches alone or in bunches. Whales flapped their tails beyond the raging surf. Always, a sense of life thriving with life! Endless waves crashed over the rocks creating spectacular liquid fury. Chameleon skies painted a changing landscape against the Pacific’s blue waters. With all the dramatic scenes before me, the journey remained enthralling, fascinating, gripping and visually spellbinding.
But when I arrived at Pismo Beach, California—a place I cycled through in 1995 to see countless trees dragging their branches onto the ground from billions of Monarch butterflies hanging on for their hibernation—I witnessed 1/10th the number of butterflies hanging from the trees.
According to Science: State of the Universe, January 29, 2015, Monsanto’s Roundup weed killer destroyed so much of the butterfly’s food base—milkweed—that it caused an avalanche of decline. Monarchs declined by 90 percent in the past 20 years.
Ironically, while I spent the night in a yard across from a little league baseball park in Crescent City, California. In the morning, I watched a man spray Roundup for an hour all over the park. Every ‘weed’ suffered a huge dose of spray. When I confronted him about it by asking him, “What weed killer are you using?”
He responded, “Roundup.”
I said, “Are you aware that 90 percent of Monarch butterflies have died off because of Roundup?”
He got angry, “What do you want me to do, burn the weeds off this field with gasoline?”
I replied, “Why not have your teams come a little early and pick all the weeds by hand. It’s their park and their lives. Show them how to be ecologically responsible.”
“Well,” he grumbled. “I’ll see what I can do.”
Not until I reached Pismo Beach did I realize the horror Roundup created. Which brings me to this question: how will any creatures of the insect world survive with California’s chemical onslaught by 38 million residents who spray their lawns, parks and gardens with Roundup? What happens when California adds somewhere between 10 and 20 million more people—all of the spraying Monsanto’s Roundup?
At some point, we must ask our selves if we value the Natural World enough to take a stand by outlawing the use of chemicals.
Additionally, we must make good choices to force farmers to stop poisoning the planet with chemicals. You may accomplish that goal by using your buying dollars. You may choose organically grown foods. You can avoid genetically modified foods by demanding labeling. www.JustLabelIt.org
In 2015, in Boulder, Colorado, the city council outlawed the sale and use of Roundup and other herbicides in the confines of the city limits. The State of Vermont voted to label all GMOs.
You may accomplish the same victories by your actions at the community level. You choose with your dollars and your votes. The worst decision you can make: to think that you can do so little that you do nothing at all.

Let me be clear: the situation in Oregon does not remotely compare to the events that took place at the Bundy Ranch in Nevada. In Nevada, the federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) was the aggressor, which included a very real threat of violence against the Bundy family. The Bundy family appealed to their neighbors and friends for help. And help rightly arrived. The legal nuances of the Bundy situation notwithstanding, BLM gave the appearance of preparing another Waco incident that just could not be tolerated. Over 80 innocent Americans, including elderly men and women and small children, were murdered by our federal government during that unconscionable raid. There must NEVER be another Waco in this country.
The decision of Ammon Bundy (Cliven Bundy’s son)–and the men who are with him–to mount an armed takeover of the remote, empty Malheur National Wildlife Refuge building in Harney County outside Burns, Oregon, is unwise, careless, and downright foolish. There is no just cause for such action.
Previous to the move to take over the federal building, a peaceful protest in support of the Hammond family had taken place in Burns. This protest was commendable and well-conducted. Hundreds of local residents took part in that peaceful protest. The local community of Burns was very sympathetic to the plight of the Hammonds and rightly angered by the federal government’s treatment of them.
Dwight Hammond, Jr. and his son Steven had been arrested, tried, and convicted of arson for the burning of federal land that adjoins Hammond land. The Hammonds say they were burning their land for agricultural purposes and the fire inadvertently spread to federal land. The feds say the Hammonds burned the land to cover up poaching. The two men were found guilty by a jury and sentenced to five years in prison. A district court judge found the sentences to be excessive (and therefore unconstitutional) and sentenced the men to less time; but the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals overruled the lesser sentence and the five year prison term was reinstated.
Even if the prosecutor’s version of the story is true, a five-year prison sentence for such a crime is overkill beyond description–the Ninth Circuit decision notwithstanding. There are thousands of people who have been convicted of various forms of manslaughter who have not served that many years in prison. People in Burns are justified in being angry at the sentence handed to their friends, the Hammonds.
But the truth is, the conflict between the federal government and ranchers, farmers, and miners in the western states has been ongoing in earnest since at least the 1970s. And in this writer’s opinion, the people of the western states are completely justified in being angry at the way the federal government continues to encroach upon the liberties and properties of the people of these states. In truth, it is long past due that the governors and State legislatures of these states grow some man stuff and start reclaiming so-called federal land. And while they are doing that, they should tell the BLM to go back to Washington, D.C.–or go to hades for that matter–and get their hind ends out of their states. If State governments and county sheriffs in the West would do what is right–and would start protecting the liberties and properties of the citizens within their states from these federal abuses–most, if not all, of these conflicts would go away.
So, the peaceful protest in Burns was certainly justified. And as a result, the momentum for reclamation of State sovereignty and individual liberty was further enhanced. People all over America–especially in the West–are growing increasingly impatient with overbearing, bullying federal agencies such as BLM.
But immediately following the successful protest, Ammon Bundy and several other men decided to take aggressive action and mounted an armed takeover of the remote federal facility about fifty miles south of Burns, which was empty for the holidays. By taking this action, these men gave up the moral high ground and, in essence, snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
In the first place, the Hammond family publicly repudiated the actions of these men and chose to give themselves up to officials to serve out the sentence that had been handed them. There are great disagreements about whether the Hammonds’ motives in burning the land were innocent or malicious. And, as noted, there is room for much debate regarding if the crime (if it was a crime) truly warranted the sentence they received. Regardless, the Hammonds chose to accept their sentence and reject any attempt (especially one involving a show of force) to interfere. This fact alone settles the matter.
Citizens coming together to peacefully protest a perceived injustice is as American as mom and apple pie. But a group of citizens acting as a mob and, with a show of force, taking over a public (or private) facility when there is no threat to life is just plain wrong–anger with BLM notwithstanding. As my mother often told me, “Two wrongs do not make a right.” Indeed.
Some have tried to compare the takeover of the federal buildings near Burns to Lexington and Concord. But the comparison just doesn’t exist.
Our colonial forebears endured “a long train of abuses” (Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence) for decades. Even the Boston Massacre in 1770 did not trigger an armed response from the colonists. The battles of Lexington and Concord took place when British troops marched on the Massachusetts villages in an attempt at mass gun confiscation. There is nothing of the sort going on in Burns, Oregon.
Neither was there a threat of violence against innocent men, women, and children at Burns as was the case at Bundy Ranch. In truth, these men in Oregon are acting as aggressors, not as defenders. Bundyville was a justified act of self-defense; Burns, Oregon, is not.
I was at Bundy Ranch. I publicly supported the efforts of the men who went to Nevada in the defense of the Bundy family in this column, from the platform of Liberty Fellowship, and in numerous interviews with the media. I even had the honor of bringing a Bible sermon to the brave men at Bundyville–which also included Nevada public officials, by the way. In that address, I strongly cautioned all of them to make sure that our actions were always pure and right in eyes of just law–and especially in the eyes of a Just and Holy God. I invite readers to watch the video of my address at Bundy Ranch here.
Make no mistake about it: if our federal government (or any other government) attempts to confiscate our firearms as did British troops in 1775, a Natural state of war against the American people will have been declared at that moment, and I will be at the front of the line in calling for armed resistance. Burns, Oregon, is not remotely close to that. There is absolutely NO COMPARISON between the current situation in Oregon and Lexington and Concord.
In the next place, I personally believe that government agent provocateurs infiltrated and agitated these men into taking this action, thereby giving the federal government the excuse it needs to justify Obama’s Executive Order enacting stricter rules on gun purchases. In my opinion, both of these events happening during the exact same week is NOT a coincidence.
I am very familiar with people who are on the ground in Oregon, and I can tell you that at least two of the men involved in the armed takeover of the federal facility near Burns were also agitators and provocateurs at Bundy Ranch. Fortunately, at Bundyville, those men were plainly instructed to leave the area before they were able to inflict any significant damage. Although, I can tell you that it was only due to the cool heads and calm spirits of the good men at Bundy Ranch that kept those agitators from potential violence and resultant loss of life. Unfortunately, those same men are now in Oregon. If these men are not government provocateurs, they are certainly helping the government with a lot of free work.
Whether my supposition is true or not, it doesn’t justify the individual decisions of Ammon Bundy and his followers to act in this manner. If I could talk to them, I would encourage them in the strongest terms possible to peacefully walk away from this situation. All this does is fuel the anti-gun hysteria of already hysterical anti-gun zealots in and out of Washington, D.C., and also serves to allow the anti-gun media to further demonize proponents of the Second Amendment and constitutionally-ordained militia.
By taking the action they did, Ammon Bundy and the others are helping to reverse the pro-freedom, pro-Second Amendment momentum and to provide an excuse for gun-grabbers like Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi to justify more anti-gun legislation. In other words, Ammon and his followers are actually assisting the very people they claim to be resisting.
Speaking of Obama’s gun grab, we can all thank House Speaker Paul Ryan and his fellow Republicans such as Montana congressman Ryan Zinke for Obama’s Executive Order further restricting the purchase of firearms. It was Ryan’s $1.1 trillion Omnibus bill that fully funded Obama’s executive decision.
See this report here.
Furthermore, while bemoaning the President’s decision, Republican House members have said absolutely NOTHING about defunding Obama’s Executive Order, which is in their power to do, and which would completely take away the means for the executive branch to enforce the order.
See this report here.
There is no justification for what Ammon Bundy and his followers have done in Burns, Oregon–all other factors notwithstanding.
At the same time, our federal government needs to be careful not to overreact to this situation by resorting to a Waco-style assault against these men. People all over America are growing weary of their own “train of abuses” from Washington, D.C. They will not sit still for another Waco. These men are isolated in a remote wilderness area and pose no risk to innocent life. Hopefully, federal officials will use patience and restraint and allow this situation to defuse peacefully. Better yet, the Feds should completely stay out of the situation and let the sheriff of Harney County handle it. I do not trust this administration any more than we could trust the administrations of George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton who authorized the raids at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, and Waco, Texas. I ask all readers of this column to join together in prayer for divine intervention and a peaceful, non-violent resolution of this matter.
P.S. To help people understand the importance of Natural and divine law relative to these crucial issues, I have a DVD containing four messages on the subject. The titles of these messages are:
“Biblical Evidence For Natural Law”
“Christ’s Law Of The Sword”
“The Law Of Necessity”
“Liberty In Law”
In light of the fact that so many freedom-minded patriots seem unable to understand the difference between Bundy Ranch and Burns, Oregon–and given the volatile nature of the times in which we live–it is absolutely critical that we understand the difference between just and unjust resistance. The fact that the vast majority of our pastors no longer teach these Biblical principles contributes mightily to the ignorance now rampant among us.
If we do not have the blessing of Heaven upon our attitudes and actions, there will be no positive result–no matter how good our intentions might be. I believe the events in Oregon demand that people familiarize themselves with these immutable principles.
Order the four-message DVD entitled “Liberty And Law”.

And, in a June 2007 sermon at the ICPC, Imam Qatanani condemned Christians to “eternal hellfire.” He is an advocate of Islamic blasphemy laws that criminalize criticism of Islam. In addition, Christie designated a top aide, Assistant U.S. Attorney Charles McKenna, to testify as a character witness for Qatanani.
Investigative journalist, Daniel Greenfield, reports that, “despite the fact that Mohammed Qatanani was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, the organization that is behind both al-Qaeda and Hamas, despite his own guilty plea to being a member of Hamas, and despite the fact that even in the United States, he had defended a charity that provided funds to children of suicide bombers (this is done as an incentive to reassure terrorists that if they die their families will be taken care of), Qatanani was not deported.”

I mean, you know, it’s just unnecessary to be accusing this guy of things just because of his religious background.” For this outburst, unsurprisingly, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) thanked and applauded Christie.

We can’t decide whether to make ourselves obsolete or make ourselves immortal, or both redundant and immortal. How do you even begin to choose? But we do seem pretty sure that we can achieve these goals.
Yes, Ian Malcolm, you hit the nail on the head, way back in “Jurassic Park”: we’re so busy trying to see whether we could do something, we never pause to ask whether we should do it. That has never changed.
Obsolete? Redundant? Well, why not? Facebook tycoon Mark Zuckerberg has vowed to build a robot that will take care of his house, mind the baby, and help him run his business. Have any of you ever told your wife or husband, “You can be replaced by a machine”? Maybe that’s not such an idle threat anymore.
At the same time, another so-and-so in hi-tech fantasyland has announced a plan to freeze human brains before the owner dies; and then, later, thaw ‘em out and transplant them into a “bionic body”. Y’mean you wind up in a robot body, like Robo-Cop? Or in a genetically-engineered, perfect, young, strong, incredibly beautiful human body? Didn’t Edgar Rice Burroughs already do this, in “The Master Mind of Mars”, back in 1927?
Whatever it means, they’re not quite ready yet to do the deed. They estimate they’ll need another thirty years to iron all the bugs out. But when the scheme is well and thoroughly baked, supposedly we’re looking at a 500-year lifespan—maybe even, if they can really fine-tune it, no more death at all.
Imagine keeping Nancy Pelosi around for another 700 years.
Robotic slaves and practical immortality will be for everybody, right? Not just for the super-rich and famous. Otherwise there might be a problem with folks who can’t afford it. I mean, if you think the 99% is ticked off now, wait’ll they find out that they have to die but the 1% don’t. There’ll be some hard feelings over that, I shouldn’t wonder.
But if Mr. Zuckerberg’s robo-nanny really can do just as good a job of child care as public school or television can, think how liberating it would be. No more messy diapers. Mom and Dad will be free to compose symphonies, paint great pictures, or write cowboy poetry.
Or not.
See, if everyone’s immortal, if social justice can be stretched to the point where everybody’s brain gets the old Birdseye treatment…
And meanwhile your domestic robot does all the cooking, all the cleaning, and gently shovels food into your mouth when you say “Feed me…”
Under these idyllic circumstances, who’s going to have children? Immortals don’t need to keep the species going; they are the species. After all, brain-freezing and transplantation is likely to be expensive. How would we manage it for billions of people?
No, we won’t need babies anymore—not if our brainsicles are allowing us to live forever. Planets get too crowded if immortals keep having babies. You could look it up. (Where, I don’t know, it’s not my problem.) Imagine how many babies one couple could make, if they kept at it for 500 years. It’d be like the rabbits in Australia.
But Science will find a way, you can count on that. People who are smart enough to invent robot nannies and freeze brains so they can be re-installed elsewhere ought to be able to solve even these challenging problems that I’ve mentioned. Would Science lie to you? And then we really will be as gods. The Serpent in the Garden wasn’t conning us: we really and truly will be as gods.
Well, some more than others, at least.

Every time a gun is used in an accidental shooting, a crime, a murder, or terrorist attack in the United States, whether it be a handgun, rifle, AK-47, M-15, or machine pistol, the Democrats and especially President Obama, immediately call for more gun control, magazine limits, or outright confiscation of guns from lawful Americans, in spite of an all-powerful constitutional amendment and U. S. Supreme Court decisions that give authority to all legal citizens to own firearms. Each single event becomes a news story that runs for days, if not weeks or months. The liberal news media gleefully promotes and champions the Democrat’s plea. It makes no difference to the Democrats that most of the crimes, lone wolf, or terrorist attacks would not have been stopped by more gun control.
Humans, by their very nature, tend to be violent in certain circumstances. So let’s put gun violence in perspective with other forms of human violence.
Just recently, a homeless black woman in her twenties, with an infant in the back seat of her car, took to the sidewalk in Las Vegas and killed one person and seriously injured over 30 other people. Apparently, she did it on purpose. So she used her car as a weapon to kill.
Not too long before the Las Vegas incident, there was another similar case at a University of Oklahoma Homecoming parade where a woman purposely drove her car into the crowds of people watching the parade. Four people were killed, including an infant and at least 33 people were injured, some quite seriously.
Then there is the case of the drunk teenager who wiped out, no killed, four people and the corrupt court came up with a new legal term “affluenza” to get rich people off from heinous crimes. How many people are killed by cars operated by drunk drivers? According to the CDC, 10,076 people were killed in 2014 by alcohol-impaired drivers. Alcohol related deaths with cars account for almost one third of all traffic deaths. God knows how many are killed by the now legalized marijuana in four states.
These are just recent cases that rapidly disappeared from the news cycle. There are many more we could relate where a car is accidently or purposely used to kill people.
Terrorists have not only used airplanes to kill people in America and other parts of the world, but they have also used cars, knives and explosives. Just ask an Israeli.
In the United States cars are heavily regulated in their manufacture and operation and people require licenses to drive them. Road signage and traffic controls are everywhere. Nevertheless, it is abundantly clear that cars are deadly weapons and kill people. From the Democrat’s rationale, there should be more car control and maybe even there should be a new law to confiscate cars from dangerous people, or maybe cars should be taken away from everyone because they are so deadly. But alas, the Democrats are and have been silent on the issue of deaths by car. Only deaths by guns activate their adrenalin.
According to the FBI for homicides in 2011, 8,583 people died by firearms. In 2013 32,719 people died from car crashes and over 2,000,000 were injured. In that same year of 2013, 1,694 people died by knife stab wounds and 496 people died by blunt objects like baseball bats and hammers. 728 people died by the use of hands and feet. If deaths or injuries were the rationale to pass laws, it is obvious that government should pass laws outlawing guns, cars, baseball bats, knives, hands, feet and even swimming pools.
But there is a much larger issue here that transcends outlawing knives, guns and cars. From the observations of this author and many others who use their intellect instead of their emotions, it is clear that Democrats are the party of excessive controls, regulation and “TAKE AWAYS.” Democrats want to take away our guns. They want to take away our money for welfare, social justice, environmental protection, legal and illegal immigration and climate change to control us, regulate us and buy votes. But they don’t want to spend any money on maintaining a strong military. There are so few votes in the military industrial complex.
Democrats now control or excessively regulate our land, our food, our water, our money, our energy, our cars, our guns, our businesses, our schools, our health care and every other aspect of our lives. Except for a few instances in the last 100 years, Democrats have unilaterally controlled the American political process, along with the help of the unions, public schools, academia and the news media. Democrats have taken over America like the Communist Party tried to take over the movie industry in the mid 1940’s. But the Democrats managed to take over the movie industry instead. One man’s Democrat is another man’s Communist or Socialist. The movie industry is a powerful tool for propaganda, mind control and political money for Democrats and have been used extensively for such Democrat purposes.
Apparently, Democrats don’t think that Americans are smart enough to take care of themselves and yet the Democrats have shown us that they aren’t even capable of managing anything they touch, including domestic and foreign policy. Under Democrat control, states and cities have, or are going broke. Under Democrats, the national debt has risen exponentially to the point that it may be virtually impossible to ever pay back. Under Democrats, the economy is barely functioning, with tepid growth at best due to Democrat-sponsored massive regulations.
Under this Democrat President, the national debt has almost doubled since he took office seven years ago. Think about it. Obama, a Democrat, has doubled the national debt in seven years that it took over 200 years to build. Under Democrats and especially this Obama Democrat President, our position in the world has dropped precipitously. Our enemies don’t fear us and our friends don’t trust us.
Of course, the only reason that people would vote for a Democrat is because Democrats TAKE AWAY money from everyone else, money Democrats have no right to, and unconstitutionally hand it over to those who vote for Democrats. Those voters are now in the majority and by keeping the Democrats in power, they allow Democrats to control us, regulate us and TAKE AWAY our money and other things from us, you know, like our freedom. The hard truth is, Democrats want you to pay for their compassion so that Democrats can buy votes to stay in power.
The Democrats have been so successful over the last 100 years they even have the Republicans joining them so that Republicans can remain a viable political party but devoid of principle and honor. The current Republican House and Senate leaders are no different than the Democrats and in fact are aiding and abetting the Democrats and this President.
The single answer to this Democrat-Republican control dilemma can only come from the people themselves and the people show no signs of wanting to change anything. Except for a few million of us, most of the people like it just the way it is with their hands deep in the public till.
One day they will be forced to pay a horrendous price and that price might very well come in the form of mass starvation, slavery, or may be even conquered by a foreign power. The Biblical phrase that says the meek shall inherit the earth is a myth. The meek are nothing but collateral, slaves and conscripts for the powerful and always have been. Only the courageous and the strong, in mind, spirit and body, will prevail in the long run. The strong always carry the weak on their backs, either out of compassion, or out of necessity.
Outlawing knives, baseball bats and cars, as we suggested in the title of this article, will not change anything, whether the Democrats do it, or the Republicans do it. Nor will more gun controls change anything. Americans will still be heavily regulated and controlled by an Absolute Democrat Monarchy and American sovereignty and freedom are, have been and will continue to be the losers.

“And ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.” –Leviticus 26:37
Last week, we saw the face of another Judas betraying the American people as Paul Ryan not only passed a $1 trillion omnibus bill fully funding Barack Obama’s (Deuteronomy 28:36) illegal Muslim immigration plans. Paul Ryan stated, “The job of U.S. lawmakers is to put yourself in shoes of foreign citizens” (Luke 22:48).
Why are a majority of American representatives aiding the enemy at every given turn? Most people thought that it was only this administration that was blatantly and “transparently” aiding and abetting the enemy, both within and without (Deuteronomy 32:25).
It is clear that these people in Washington are working to make way for American enemies. How can this be?
Let’s look to Europe and other nations that are being plundered by their own (Numbers 32:23) governments with the help of the “apathetic” and “tolerant” good people while foreign enemies are sent to plunder and destroy. What’s worse is that these people are paying (through illegal reallocation of taxes) for their own demise.
The first thing these political “useful idiots” do is begin to desensitize and demoralize the people (2 Peter 2:18) with the help of the education system, Hollywood and the entertainment industries. This all comes, of course, with the consent of those who depart wickedly from their God (Psalm 18:21).
“Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Do not err, my beloved brethren.” -James 1:12-16
Once they see that the people are given over to their lusts and are then given unto the state, they then begin to pass illegal and unlawful legislation against the people. In America, we are now told that we are a democracy, which has given our sovereignty over to the enemy of our souls (John 10:10), to the corrupt state and away from a Just and Holy God (Psalm 145:17).
• 1962 – Corrupt Governments begin to commit oligarchy by teaching the young people not to pray and seek the face of God and that their allegiance is to the “say so” of the courts, not to God, who established the institution of government (Exodus 18:21).
• 1973 – Corrupt governments then begin to implement sanctions for the murdering of the innocent in the womb by calling it a choice (word play)
• 2015 – Corrupt Government attempt to redefine Gods design concerning marriage and tell the people that they can marry anyone that they want to. Genesis 5:2, Matthew 19:15
• Corrupt Government then begins to create unconstitutional wars at the expense of the blood of your sons and daughters while lining their pockets along with the military industrial complex.
In simple terms, these lawless individuals are allowed to lead people in an exhibition and demonstration to refuse God’s instructions (Proverbs 1:22-33), doing that which the people let them get away with, and then create a hell for everyone to live in (Psalm 9:17).
In the end, everyone ends up doing what they will, just as the first text of the Satanic Bible exhorts! And, surely they will fall to God’s judgment (Psalm 7:11), instead of doing what they should have when they had time to do it.
“And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.” -Deuteronomy 28:63
Concerning corrupt, government representatives: People across the globe need to understand that these political useful idiots are not the type that can be helped. They are the type that must be stopped, impeached, and indicted to the fullest extent of the law (Psalm 94:15)!
If America, or any other country, wants to believe that they can advocate that which God condemns and survive has their eyes closed to the history of mankind, as well as the present state in which we are in!

Our nation’s first president, George Washington, under the newly formed Constitution in 1789, found himself in an uncomfortable position. As the nation’s first Chief Executive and Commander-in-Chief he knew the delicate ground between strength and tyranny. Fearing any comparison to the monarchal government from which America had just been liberated, Washington took care to avoid any physical or symbolic references to European monarchs. When the Senate proposed that he be called by the official title “His Highness the President of the United States of America and the Protector of Their Liberties”, an abashed Washington opted for the more modest address of “Mr. President”.
How far we have come in America. Since Washington’s modesty there has been no implication that the president of these United States has ever been handed the unilateral authority of kings, monarchs, or dictators.
How unfortunate the present Senate, and all of Congress for that matter, has refused to stop recent presidents from self-nominations to this title.
President Obama’s use of executive orders, whether it be immigration or the people’s right to bear arms, have been entirely un-Constitutional, which is to say lawless – and by definition, criminal. With no cognizance of Constitutional authority or the will of the people he was elected to protect, the self-nominated monarch announced on Monday his new executive actions on gun control while a newly released Gallup Poll shows that “guns/gun control” ranked 19th out of 23 top problems facing the country last year.
Even if gun control is a concern, the federal government has no authority to speak to this issue because of the God-given right to self defense, the preservation of life, and the law of the land stating unequivocally “The right of the people to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT be infringed”.
Many kings and monarchs of antiquity suffered from the dangerous Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) in which a person is excessively preoccupied with personal adequacy, power, prestige and vanity, mentally unable to see the destructive damage they are causing to themselves and others. This is not a disorder that should be left unchecked in our leaders.
Understand, elected state leaders, your duty is to interpose between your citizens and a central government bent on tyranny. Simply put, you must stake a claim. You cannot remain silent, because silence implies consent.
George Washington believed, “When People shall have become incapable of governing themselves and fit for a master, it is of little consequence from what quarter he comes.”
The Hebrew prophet Isaiah resolved, “When God’s judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.”
Democrat or Republican, state officials and citizens alike must learn and resist tyranny in all of its forms.

During a Republican presidential campaign bash in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, a key primary state for both the GOP and Democratic Party, the 5,000-member New England Police Benevolent Association, that represents rank-and-file police officers from the Granite State, as well as Massachusetts, announced the PBA’s “proud endorsement of Donald Trump.”
Officials from the police officers association said during the Dec. 10, 2015 event, that they believe they have endorsed “the candidate who best serves our membership.”
Speaking to the powerful and influential law enforcement group the man known as “The Donald” promised that upon being elected as Commander in Chief and being inaugurated in January 2017, one of his very first actions will be to sign an executive order.
“Anybody killing a policeman, a policewoman, a police officer, anybody killing a police officer: Death penalty is going to happen, okay?” he told the cheering crowd. “The police and the law enforcement in this country — I will never ever let them down, just remember that.”
Federal criminal procedure law already has a provision giving the federal government the power to execute cop-killers at the federal level. Former police lieutenant and a director of corporate security, Thomas Wollinsky, told the Conservative Base that he’s heard numerous law enforcement officials praise Trump and criticize the majority of Democrats. “Trump reminds us of people like Reagan and Giuliani who didn’t pander to the enemies of cops the way far too many politicians do today,” said Wollinsky.
“They still use the tired, old narrative of racist cops oppressing blacks in order to garner votes and gain power over the blacks who are in the end the primary victims of lawless and violent individuals,” Wollinsky added.
While the cops and their supporters applauded and cheered during his announcement to exact retribution for killing officers, the media jumped into action to question Trump about how his capital punishment executive order would work in the states that have banned the death penalty. According to last count, 19 states have out-and-out prohibited death sentences, and a growing number of states that still have a death penalty do not utilize it.
But in U.S. states that still have a death penalty provision, killing an officer is often already considered an “aggravating factor” in deciding whether a defendant will be eligible for capital punishment.
Also addressing Obama’s latest unilateral move to punish local cops — which many believe actually punishes Americans — Trump accused President Obama of working to scale back access to so-called military equipment, vehicles and weapons in the wake of unrest in Ferguson, Missouri and other locations.
As many expected, he called Obama’s recent executive order to take back the donated military equipment away from local police agencies “a tremendous mistake.”
PBA Executive Director Jerry Flynn said, “Listen, our message very clear: It’s what is the next president of the United States going to do to unite this country in an effort to save police officers? Because it’s open season on police officers.”
According the press coverage of the numerous presidential campaigns in New Hampshire, Trump’s popularity in the Granite State has never been higher, as the candidate has climbed to 27 percent in the polls following his declaration that all Muslims be barred from entering the United States.
Although the news media — a group that possesses a disproportionate number of left-wing ideologues — has attempted to portray the American people’s distrust of Muslim refugees, who are from nations saturated with radical Islamists, most Americans say the federal government must first get its immigration system fixed.
“The immigration system in this country is broken… its’ kaput! Today, it’s estimated that there are about four or five million people living in the U.S. with expired passports. There is an abysmal vetting system that is so ineffective even people who are investigated pass without their earlier ‘crimes and indiscretions’ being revealed,” said former police detective Iris Aquino.
The Thursday night event didn’t come-off without its share of street drama — or as Bill Ayers and his followers called “Guerilla Theater”— outside the hotel. Newspapers claimed that there were hundreds of protesters gathered to denounce both Trump’s anti-Islam remarks and the police union’s endorsement of a campaign increasingly aligned with white supremacist beliefs.
One newspaper claims there has been a major spike in physical and verbal attacks across the U.S. against Muslims and those perceived to be Muslim.

The President, and those few who support his slow mo, hands tied behind our back, approach to combatting terrorism, often present a profoundly illogical and ultimately self-destructive justification for their halting approach to the war. They start from the premise that it is the United States’ fault that radical Islamists target Americans. They proceed from that false premise to the conclusion that if we do more than attempt to contain the menace we will stir up an even greater hornet’s nest in the Middle East, inciting even more terrorist enthusiasts to take us down.
They therefore prefer a defensive posture where we treat acts of terror as crimes justifying a policing action. That defeatist illogic is at the core of Obama’s belief structure and inaction. It is ultimately a creed that assures that terrorist acts become the “new normal” on American soil. For the majority of Americans who are not willing to accept that “new normal,” we have a very difficult task to undertake. We have got to find ways to overcome Presidential opposition to total war within the remaining year of Obama’s presidency or the seeds of terror now sewn in American soil will produce a thousand horrific blooms.
The notion that the United States is at fault for the rise of radical Islam is in error. Radical Islam is the by-product of clerics and supposed clerics in the Muslim community who are offended at the existence of Western civilization, who view all forms of Western culture as satanic, and who think it their divine duty to bring about an apocalypse in which jihad is waged culminating in a final battle between the true believers in their radical creed and all of the Western world. They despise us not simply because we went to war in the Middle East but because we are comprised of people who do not subscribe to their radical brand of Islam, refuse to replace Western law with the Sharia law, and refuse to replace our governments with a Caliphate of their making. Because we refuse to be blind followers of an Islamic theocratic dictatorship, we, like more moderate Muslims, like Europeans, and even Russians, are to be destroyed.
The notion that the United States must not be too aggressive in combatting Radical Islam because if we are that will merely stir up more terrorist opposition is profoundly illogical. There is but one direction for our dedicated enemy, to destroy us. When your enemy admits of no compromise and is intent on destroying you regardless of the cost, there is only one way to stop the menace and that is to locate and kill all involved in, conspiring to commit, financing, and aiding and abetting the terrorist cause. Nothing short of a total war dedicated to the complete destruction of terrorism will succeed in ending this menace. Anything short of that total war will allow lingering elements to remain, which will ensure more persistent acts of terror.
By imposing very limiting rules of engagement on American forces, by refusing to seek a declaration of war against identified terrorist organizations and those who provide those organizations’ agents aid and comfort; by refusing to commit troops on the ground in the form of special forces in a relentless, 24 hour a day campaign of destruction against terrorist cells, operatives, financiers and supporters outside of the United States; by appeasing the primary state sponsor of terrorism against the United States and its allies, the Islamic Republic of Iran; and by refusing to identify the true enemy, radical Islam, this President has ensured that the requisite effort needed to secure the United States and destroy the enemy will not be employed.
It is precisely because of his insistence on that halting approach to battle that this President endeavors to assuage American fears of terror through utterance of political pablum, by suggesting that the “new normal” is public acceptance of a degree of terror within our country, by suggesting that his actions are sufficient without need for change, that his actions are containing terrorism, and that other issues of importance to him, climate change, are far more important to the survival of America. The American people, however, are not impressed by a president who refuses to be a commander-in-chief and maintains political theater when military leadership is required. They refuse to become willing lambs to the slaughter, so this President can preserve a legacy based on a liberal domestic agenda.
The irreducible obligation of the President of the United States when the nation is under attack is to serve as a commander-in-chief and employ all means necessary to destroy the enemy, end the threat, and restore protection for life, liberty, and property. Obama has utterly failed to perform those roles. He refuses to serve as commander-in-chief, and he thereby ensures the proliferation of terrorism abroad and within the United States.
What then can Americans do over the coming year to defend themselves? It is up to each American citizen to avail themselves of their Second Amendment rights and become armed. Hundreds of thousands are doing just that. Gun sales are skyrocketing. If terrorists show up at your child’s school, the concert you are attending, the subway you are boarding, the sporting event you are attending, or the public gathering where your family has assembled, you must know in advance that steps have been taken to cut down the terrorist before he or she takes a life. Each of us has to be ready to act decisively to eliminate a person who is in the act of committing terror.
Each state should commence a program to train its citizens in self-defense but also in identifying and reporting to authorities the telltale signs of terrorist plotting, arming, and equipping. We need to be ever mindful of those who by their actions reveal probable cause of terrorism, and the police must investigate each such instance and act swiftly when probable cause is present to obtain warrants and perform searches and seizures.
Moreover, it is also the obligation of each state governor to employ the national guard to provide added security at all locations where people publicly assemble, to call upon off duty and retired military and police to bear arms and serve as an added layer of protection standing at the ready in all locations where people publicly assemble.
Each school should have armed and trained personnel capable of providing a rapid and devastating response if an act of terror is underway. Each state should pass legislation barring entry to any person who seeks to take up domicile in the state and hails originally from a country where terrorist training and recruitment is known to take place. Those individuals should be barred from entry unless and until they are thoroughly vetted by state authorities and can be proven to have maintained cordial relations with Americans within their former homeland; to have had no connections with anyone who sponsors, supports, aids or abets terror; and to have a present intention to become fully integrated into American society and culture and become an American citizen. Eternal vigilance remains the price of liberty, more so now than ever before.

New Year, new executive order. That’s how President Obama’s ringing in 2016 – with a robust toast to his own power and hubris, and simultaneous glass tink and eye wink at the Second Amendment.
By the middle of January, Obama will have made his move, most political watchers say. And what a move it will be. As Bloomberg Business reported: “Obama has let it be known from his holiday retreat in Hawaii, through unidentified advisers, that soon after New Years’ Day, he plans to follow through on plans to expand the definition of who’s ‘in the business’ of selling firearms – and who’s thus required to perform baackground checks.”
That means if you want to sell your gun to your neighbor, under Obama’s new order, you’ll need to first pass an executive-mandated background check from the federal authorities. And I say executive-mandated because the policy won’t be congressionally approved. This so-called closing of the gun show loophole – where ddealers who sell commercially are currently subjected to the federal background checks’ process, but not those who sell from their own personal collections’ is Obama’s pet, through and through.
It’s yet another presidential bypass of Congress, the duly elected, the electorate, and by extension, the Constitution. Call it the Obama Special – the pen annd phone approach to governance – the modern day way of legislating in Ameriica.
How long must we suffer? Obama’s bully politics are birthed of a nation that’s turned from God – and when God doesn’t lead, look out. Government will. And it’ll be with heavy hands. That’s what we’re experiencing in rapid fashion under this current administration. Can’t pass immigration reform? Call in the executive order. Can’t get Congress to agree on climate change policy? No problem-o. Pick up the pen and push environmental regulations and dictates for the federal government to follow and businesses to abide. Then press the EPA to ram through those same executive desires. Can’t move reforms on Capitol Hill to control police and halt perceived biased policing against blacks? Call on the Justice Department to initiate a plan that basically federalizes civilian, community police departments via a carrot-stick, funding-for-data-collection dictate.
It’s amazing what a president can accomplish these days.
That’s why Sen. Rand Paul’s legislation limiting the president from passing executive orders that curb the Second Amendment is so interesting, not to mention timely. His bill, the Separation of Powers Restoration and Second Amendment Protection Act, S. 2434, not only relegates such executive orders on gun control to “advisory” status, meaning no action can occur unless Congress first considers and approves it. It also allows those who are negatively affected by any executive action against guns to file a civil lawsuit “to challenge the validity of [the] executive action,” the text of the bill states.
It’s currently on fast-track status, with a hoped-for Senate hearing right after the holiday recess. And Paul introduced it with this fanfare: “In the United States, we do not have a king, but we do have a Constitution. We also have a Second Amendment and I will fight tooth and nail to protect it.”
Indeed he will. In fact, indeed he has. Paul introduced the same legislation in 2013, as S. 82. And guess what happened? After Sens. Mike Lee and John Boozman signed on as cosponsors – the only two to do so – the bill headed for the Senate for a first reading, then a second reading, and then death due to inaction.
So Paul’s pulled the draft out of his desk for another try. Well, good for him. Thumbs-up and gold stars all around, as well as a heartfelt hope the bill will actually pass this time.
But when any politician, well-meaning or otherwise, tries to tell the American public that the United States does not have a king, the proper response is to laugh. Why? It’s wisdom in motion. One need only look to Obama to see how far our Constitution has shifted – and how long-gone our notion of a constrained executiive branch has drifted.

GUN CONTROL AND THE NO-FLY LIST
In the political realm, as elsewhere, evil never sleeps. And apparently there is no enormity which the present rogue régime in the Disgrace of Columbia, and equally rogue régimes in certain States, are not capable of, and not intent upon, committing with the expectation that sheepish Americans will remain somnolent and submissive until it is too late for them to recognize the danger and set about resisting it. The latest piece of “in-your-face” effrontery is an extension of these régimes’ never-ending push for systematic “gun control” aimed at the thoroughgoing disarmament of Americans—the goal so pithily and provocatively expressed in Senator Dianne Feinstein’s words: “Mr. and Mrs. America, turn them all in.” In his recent televised address following the mass shooting in San Bernardino, California, the present resident in the White House, Barack Obama, asked “What could possibly be the argument for allowing a terrorist suspect to buy a semiautomatic weapon?” and urged that “Congress should act to make sure no one on a no-fly list is able to buy a gun.” Shortly thereafter, Governor Dannel Malloy of Connecticut announced that he would sign an “executive order” directing the Connecticut State Police, not only to prevent individuals on “the no-fly list” from buying firearms or ammunition in the future, but also to revoke those individuals’ permits for firearms they already possess. These actions are open to the obvious questions: “What is Mr. Obama’s definition of a ‘terrorist’?”, “Under what theory of constitutional due process can a mere ‘suspect’ be denied a right explicitly guaranteed by the Constitution?”, and “How can a mere ‘executive order’ override the Second Amendment?” But, assuming for the purposes of argument that in some conceivable circumstances an individual suspected of “terrorism” could be denied “the right * * * to keep and bear Arms” (as, for example, because he were under arrest preliminary to being arraigned under a constitutionally valid criminal charge), what could possibly be the justification for employing a “bill of attainder” to deny that right to all “suspects” whom some nameless, faceless bureaucrats had included in some “list”, based on perhaps utterly fanciful definitions of “terrorism” known only to them? For the undeniable constitutional fact is that “the no-fly list” (and any other “list” of that genre) is an unconstitutional “Bill of Attainder”.
In general, an “attainder” is an act which extinguishes some or all of an individual’s civil rights. A “bill of attainder” is a legislative act which imposes a sentence of death upon an individual without any conviction in the ordinary course of judicial proceedings. And a “bill of pains of penalties” is a legislative act which imposes a sentence less severe than death upon an individual without any conviction in the ordinary course of judicial proceedings. In Article III, Section 3, Clause 2, the Constitution allows for an “Attainder” in only one instance: “The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.” But in Article III, Section 3, Clause 1, the Constitution requires that “[n]o person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.” So an “Attainder of Treason” cannot come about through a “bill of attainder”, because it requires a prior conviction based upon extraordinary evidence in the course of ordinary judicial proceedings. Otherwise, the Constitution absolutely outlaws all “Bill[s] of Attainder”, whether issued by Congress or the States. As to Congress, Article I, Section 9, Clause 3 provides that “[n]o Bill of Attainder * * * shall be passed.” As to the States, Article I, Section 10, Clause 1 provides that “[n]o State shall * * * pass any Bill of Attainder[.]” These prohibitions apply to both “bills of attainder” and “bills of pains and penalties”. See Ex parte Garland, 74 U.S. (4 Wallace) 333 (1867); Cummings v. Missouri, 71 U.S. (4 Wallace) 277 (1867); United States v. Lovett, 328 U.S. 303 (1946); United States v. Brown, 381 U.S. 437 (1965).
As I have explained in detail in previous articles for NewsWithViews—to wit, “Death Squads” and “Where Is the Outrage?”, which dealt with “official assassinations” of individuals on the Obama régime’s supremely secretive “hit list”—no public official in any branch of the General Government may enact, enforce, or otherwise give effect to any “Bill of Attainder” (or “bill of pains and penalties”). To complete the analysis, it is easy enough to prove that no public official in any State may enact or enforce a “Bill of Attainder”, whether that “Bill” purports to derive from the State herself or from the General Government. As already noted, Article I, Section 10, Clause 1 of the Constitution prohibits all “Bill[s] of Attainder” emanating from a State: “No State shall * * * pass any Bill of Attainder[.]”. To be sure, a State is not the political jurisdiction which has “pass[ed]” “the no-fly list”. But (as in Connecticut) a State might attempt to enforce that “list” against individuals who sought to acquire, or who already possessed, firearms. Section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment provides, however, that “[n]o State shall * * * enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States”. “[A]ny law”, not just a purported “law” of the State. According to rogue officials in the General Government, “the no-fly list” is an actual “law” or an official action “with the force of law”. The prohibition against “Bill[s] of Attainder” is one of the constitutional “immunities of citizens of the United States”. Therefore, no State may “enforce” “the no-fly list” for any purpose.
Of course, “the no-fly list” does not explicitly describe itself as a “Bill of Attainder”. In constitutional analysis, though, mere labels mean nothing. See, e.g., Riley v. National Federation of the Blind of North Carolina, Inc., 487 U.S. 781, 795-796 (1988); Bigelow v. Virginia, 421 U.S. 809, 826 (1975); New York Times Company v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254, 268-269 (1964); NAACP v. Button, 371 U.S. 415, 429 (1963). Substance, not form, controls. “The no-fly list” is plainly an unconstitutional “Bill of Attainder”, because inclusion of an individual automatically denies him the ability to travel by airplane, without any judicial determination that such a disability is justified by some plainly constitutional law. Oh, I know that some apologists argue that flying on commercial airlines is supposedly not a “right”, but instead is a “privilege” which somehow can be extinguished at public officials’ discretion. This is a specious contention. The right to travel, even by air, has both constitutional and statutory foundations. Compare, e.g., Crandall v. Nevada, 73 U.S. 35 (1868), with 49 U.S.C. § 40103. The airlines are common carriers, highly regulated by law, to the services of which all Americans have a claim in common law and various statutes. And the freedom of average Americans to contract with the airlines for passage is part of both parties’ constitutional “liberty” and “property” protected by the Due Process Clauses of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. To be sure, “freedom of contract” can in some instances be subjected to constitutional regulations, as (for example) by exertion of Congress’s power under Article I, Section 8, Clause 3 of the Constitution “[t]o regulate Commerce with foreign nations, and among the several States”. But no power of Congress may be exercised through a “Bill of Attainder”. In any event, the hypothetical “right/privilege distinction” has no bearing whatsoever on the matter at issue here, which is the invocation of “the no-fly list” for the purpose of denying individuals an explicit constitutional right: namely, “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms”, whether that be to purchase “Arms” in the first instance or simply to retain possession of “Arms” previously acquired by whatever lawful means.
Use of “the no-fly list” as a basis for disqualifying an individual from the purchase or possession of a firearm is quite different from the use, say, of criminal records in a typical “background check” performed by a firearms dealer as the precondition for a sale. Individuals on lists of criminal convictions maintained by the FBI and various State law-enforcement agencies have been indicted, tried, and convicted of serious infractions of the law in the normal course of judicial process. One may debate whether or not the commission of a particular crime by a particular individual is a constitutionally sound basis for denial to him of “the right * * * to keep and bear Arms” (or denials of the right to vote or to hold public office, which often are disabilities that stem from a criminal conviction). But the principle is valid in at least some cases. In contrast, an individual on “the no-fly list” has not been indicted, tried, or convicted of anything. He may be suspected of something—but, even then, the degree of suspicion is not sufficient to warrant his arrest. So the principle involved in “the no-fly list” is invalid in all cases. Criminal records are not “Bill[s] of Attainder”, because a particular legal disability (say, denial of the right to purchase or possess a firearm) arises from the prior presumably justifiable criminal conviction, not from the later listing of the individual as having been convicted . Whereas “the no-fly list” is a “Bill of Attainder”, because whatever legal disabilities it rationalizes arise merely from an individual’s inclusion in that “list”, coupled with a vague implicit prediction that he might misbehave in the future, but with no need for any prior, or subsequent, conviction in a court of law for actual criminal misbehavior.
One need not be the victim of paranoia, only the possessor of a modicum of political insight and foresight, to conclude that the proposal by Mr. Obama that Congress should enact a new species of “gun control” based upon “the no-fly list”, together with the nearly simultaneous announcement by the Governor of Connecticut that he will impose “gun control” in that State perforce of “the no-fly list” through the fiat of an “executive order”, are parts of an integrated complot to test the waters of public opinion in order to determine if Americans will sit silent and still for such a scheme. This is a variant of the well known Leninist tactic of “salami slicing”: here, by installing the most obvious, pervasive, and obnoxious form of “gun control”—actual prohibition of purchase and possession of “Arms”—slowly and steadily, individual by individual, State by State, and then nationwide only after most Americans have been sufficiently “softened up”. And one can rest assured that, if the Governor of Connecticut succeeds in using an “executive order” to apply “the no-fly list” to purchases and possession of firearms in that State, then all too soon Mr. Obama will announce that he, too, can employ an “executive order” for that purpose throughout the United States, without the need for any new statute from Congress.
Perhaps it is merely accidental, albeit ironic, that “gun-control” fanatics have selected Connecticut—which calls herself “the Constitution State”—as their “test bed” for this operation, simply because the upper echelons of that State’s governmental apparatus happen to be infested with home-grown Stalinists and other totalitarians. Or, more ominously, perhaps their choice of “the Constitution State” is intended to demonstrate their belief that they can get away with anything, no matter how plainly contradictory of the Constitution it may be, because common Americans (especially in Connecticut) are just too stupid and cowardly to do anything about it.
Now, in my NewsWithViews commentaries cited above, I have written about “official assassinations” and “Bill[s] of Attainder”—without, I have noticed, any significant result. This may be because vanishingly few Americans imagine that they may become the victims of such an atrocity. As far as they are concerned, such a fate is likely to be visited only upon little brown people in far-away lands, who probably deserve it anyway, because they have the audacity to object to interference by rogue American officials in the internal affairs of what they foolishly imagine are their very own countries, when everyone knows that American officials have an overarching license to interfere in the internal affairs of any country, even to the extent of overthrowing its government, massacring its citizens, destroying its infrastructure, and poisoning its lands with depleted uranium.
But I suggest that a program aimed at the total domestic disarmament of America tomorrow would be arguably worse than the one which allows “official assassinations” today, because no one can imagine that such assassinations might ever be conducted against the general populace throughout the United States, or even that the present resident of the White House would dare openly to claim a prerogative to kill just anyone and everyone whom his minions had inscribed on some “list” of proscribed individuals.
The total domestic disarmament of America, in contrast, aims at no less than the assassination of “a free State” for everyone within the United States—because just about everyone could be, and in the predictable course of events no doubt would become, a target. Once the “gun-control” fanatics finally succeeded in disarming all, or even most, Americans, the number of political murders and other enormities could, and would, be raised to whatever level the tyrants wanted, without fear of effective (or perhaps any) resistance on the victims’ part—just as has occurred during the last century in country after country in which systematic “gun control” has been imposed. For part two click below.

Moreover, the salami-slicing tactic of gradually insinuating “gun control” throughout America by the attainder of individuals is not limited to the use of the present “no-fly list”. That is merely the first slice, and certainly one too thin for achieving the ultimate purpose of the exercise. In the nature of things, once the principle has been established, “gun control” by attainder can and will employ any and every “list”, based upon any and every imaginable theory of ineligibility—whether the listed individuals are denounced as “terrorists”, or extremists”, or “subversives, or “dissidents”, or by some other opprobrious epithet (including, no doubt, anyone who dares to deny the supposed power of “the government” to employ the tactic of “listing” itself). Everyone with access to the Internet knows that today’s “homeland-security” bureaucrats at every level of the federal system, and the subversive private organizations with which they regularly interact, entertain all sorts of truly crackpot notions as to who qualifies as an “extremist”, or a potential “domestic terrorist”, or a “home-grown terrorist”—including those Americans who identify themselves as “patriots” (because they love their country), as “constitutionalists” (because they believe in the rule of law), or as opponents of a “new world order” (because they defend the Declaration of Independence). Everyone is entitled, as well, to suspect that the “homeland-security” establishment is even now compiling extensive “lists” of Americans whom some bureaucrats and private organizations want to shoe-horn into such categories. Rogue politicians and bureaucrats may deny that these “lists” exist. But no sensible individual believes any such imposture, in light of the long-standing false denials by the FBI and the TSA that “the no-fly list” existed. See Laura K. Donohue, The Cost of Counterterrorism: Power, Politics, and Liberty (Cambridge, United Kingdom: Cambridge University Press, 2008), at 254.
In addition, one can expect that “gun-control” fanatics will run to the red lines their engines of deceitful propaganda and hysterical agitation, not simply (as they always have done in the past) to demonize as a run-of-the-mill “extremist” anyone who supports “the right * * * to keep and bear Arms”, but also to denounce as an extraordinarily clear and present danger to society everyone who holds “fundamentalist” views about the Second Amendment, who manifests “intolerance” of “gun control”, or who expresses “hatred” for “gun controllers”—and to demand that such people be denied that right precisely because of their zealous promotion of it and their uncompromising opposition to its detractors. In a stupendous display of ideological jiu jitsu, the big “mainstream media” and their allies across the Internet will transform an individual’s support for “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms” into an excuse for denying that very individual that very right for that very reason. And this tsunami of “politically correct” invective will rationalize the creation of what amounts to “no-gun lists” for suspected “domestic terrorists”, to be enforced through “executive orders” according to the precedents soon to be set by Connecticut’s Governor Malloy and others of his ilk. All of which is already beginning to move forward in high gear (just as if it had been planned well ahead of time).
Interestingly enough, the ACLU has, with some success, been attacking “the no-fly list” in the General Government’s courts. Unfortunately, its approach to the problem has been faulty. In an Internet article from the ACLU entitled “Until the No Fly List Is Fixed, It Shouldn’t Be Used to Restrict People’s Freedoms” (7 December 2015), Hina Shamsi, the Director of the ACLU’s National Security Project, reports that the organization is litigating a case in which it demands that the General Government provide individuals with notice of their inclusion in “the no-fly list”, a statement of the reasons for that inclusion, and an opportunity for a hearing on the matter before a neutral decision-maker. The self-evident confusion here, however, is that the courts enjoy no power to “fix” a “Bill of Attainder” by applying ex post some remedial processes in order to mitigate its rigors while still allowing its existence and operation to continue. Rather, the duty of the courts is to strike down in law and render ineffective in fact each and every “Bill of Attainder” in its entirety right then and there. The Constitution’s prohibitions of “Bill[s] of Attainder” do not say that a “Bill” is permissible if it (or some court reviewing it) provides notice, reasons, and a hearing for a listed individual. The Constitution absolutely prohibits all “Bill[s] of Attainder”, no matter what purported procedural “safeguards” they may originally contain or may have grafted onto them in the course of litigation. The reason for this is obvious: The harms which a “Bill of Attainder” causes—namely, the supposed legal disabilities it imposes on the individuals it lists—occur as soon as the “Bill” comes into existence. The rights of listed individuals are lost or otherwise compromised at that moment, according to the very definition of a “Bill of Attainder”. True enough, procedural “safeguards” might allow for those rights to be regained at a later date, but always at substantial costs in time, effort, and expense imposed on the targets of the “Bill”. Moreover, as the ACLU’s own litigation demonstrates, the burden of seeking to set up procedural “safeguards”, so that the effect of a “Bill of Attainder” is not as bad as it might otherwise be, always rests squarely on the victims’ shoulders. This is an intolerable imposition, inasmuch as, being absolutely unconstitutional, a “Bill of Attainder” is utterly void ab initio. A “Bill of Attainder” can no more be transformed into a constitutional creation by a court’s application of ex post procedural “safeguards” than Frankenstein’s Monster can be transformed into Miss America by a make-up artist’s generous application of lipstick, rouge, and eye-liner.
Reliance on the ACLU’s strategy would have especially perverse effects in a situation in which “the no-fly list” were employed, as Governor Malloy threatens to employ it, for the purpose of stripping individuals of the possession of firearms they already own. Consider the following scenario: Having discovered that Jones is included in “the no-fly list”, the Connecticut State Police descend on his home, armed with some jury-rigged administrative process based upon Malloy’s “executive order”, which purports to empower them to seize Jones’ firearms and ammunition sine die. If he is not shot to death by a gun-crazy SWAT team executing the raid, Jones must then initiate some sort of judicial proceeding in order to recover his property. While he is doing so (if his financial situation enables him to hire a competent attorney), the police destroy or otherwise dispose of his firearms and ammunition as supposed “contraband” or “forfeited” property (perhaps by turning those items over to some rogue agency of the General Government, which then black-markets the material to Mexican drug cartels or to “moderate” jihadi terrorists in the Middle East). So, even if Jones eventually does prevail in court, the most he can obtain from the official malefactors of the State of Connecticut is monetary damages, not his firearms. In overall effect, he will be completely disarmed until he can purchase new arms—which, in the case of so-called “assault rifles”, Connecticut’s new law (recently upheld on typically specious grounds by the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit) makes difficult. So, at least for a while—and perhaps for quite a while at that—Jones’ “right * * * to keep and bear Arms” will be palpably “infringed”. That this scenario could be extended throughout the State of Connecticut (and any other State, for that matter), limited only by how extensive were the various “lists” rogue agencies of the General Government had compiled, shows how dangerous to “the security of a free State” the situation could become.
Of course, patriots need not worry about the involvement of the ACLU in such a situation, because that organization is unlikely to challenge rogue public officials’ use of “the no-fly list” (or any other “list” of that genre) to disarm common Americans. As Hina Shamsi reports in the article cited above, according to the ACLU “[t]here is no constitutional bar to reasonable regulation of guns, and the No Fly List could serve as one tool for it, but only with major reform.” In this, she seems to be following sotto voce Justice Breyer’s anti-constitutional dissenting opinion in District of Columbia v. Heller. Contrary to both her and Justice Breyer, though, there most assuredly is a “constitutional bar to reasonable regulation of guns”, as the two of them understand “reasonable regulation”—that is, any “regulation of guns” which rogue public officials deem “reasonable” (including, one supposes, outright confiscation). The Second Amendment declares what constitutes the only “reasonable regulation of guns”: namely, that “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed”, where the term “Arms” includes any and every type of “Arms” and related accoutrements which could serve any conceivable purpose in “[a] well regulated Militia”. And “the No Fly List could [not] serve as [any] tool for [the reasonable regulation of guns]”, because “the no-fly list” is a “Bill of Attainder”, which is absolutely unconstitutional and void, no matter what sort of “major reform” might arguably be applied to it.
But what about the National Rifle Association in this brouhaha? Disappointingly, although not unpredictably, the NRA approaches this problem from the same wrong direction as the ACLU. In an Internet article from POLITICO entitled “Administration keeps up media barrage on terror fight” (8 December 2015), Josh Gerstein quotes an NRA spokeswoman as saying that “[t]he NRA’s only objective is to ensure that law-abiding American citizens who are wrongly on the list are afforded their constitutional right to due process.” If this reference to “due process” means that “the no-fly list” should be declared an unconstitutional “Bill of Attainder”, root and branch and at one fell swoop, well and good. But it probably means “due process” only in the sense the ACLU understands “due process” in this situation: namely, as requiring notice, reasons, and a hearing which might serve to remove individuals from the “list” in the course of litigation, on a tedious and uncertain case-by-case basis.
So, what should be done? If litigation simply had to be pursued, the logical parties to initiate it would be firearms dealers in Connecticut, who would file suit as soon as Governor Malloy issued his threatened “executive order”. The theory of their case would be straightforward: The dealers are licensed by the General Government (specifically, by the BATFE). Although the products of governmental regulations (the constitutionality of which need not be explored here), their licenses constitute valuable “property”, entitled to constitutional protection. These licenses grant statutory rights to the dealers to enter into contracts with citizens for the purchase and sale of firearms and ammunition. The dealers and their customers also have constitutional “liberty” and “property” rights of contract recognized by the Constitution. All of these rights, whatever their sources, are “civil rights” under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983, 1985(3), and 1988(b) and (c). The employment by public officials in Connecticut of “the no-fly list” (or any other such “list”) in order to preclude the dealers from selling arms to an entire class of individuals, none of whom has ever been judicially determined to be lawfully disabled from purchasing firearms or ammunition, is unconstitutional on its face, under both Article I, Section 9, Clause 3 of the Constitution and Section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment thereto, and for that reason deprives the dealers of their “civil rights”, along with the economic benefits which would accrue to them from their unrestricted exercise and enjoyment of those rights. Those deprivations entitle them (in judicial jargon, afford them “standing”) to sue Malloy, the Connecticut State Police, and any other public officials involved in the use of “the no-fly list”, seeking a declaratory judgement, injunctive relief, monetary damages, and attorneys’ fees.
To be sure, a suit of this sort would inevitably encounter practical difficulties—not the least of which would be the various claims of “official immunity” the defendants would interpose. Nonetheless, perhaps such a strategy will appeal to the NRA, which, in the manner of a compulsive gambler, apparently cannot restrain itself from betting the Second Amendment’s farm, time and again, on yet another spin of the roulette wheel of litigation.
Yet the NRA would be wise to recall that in roulette the odds always strongly favor the house, even if the croupier does not apply a greasy finger to the wheel. But when it comes to “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms”, are contemporary judges as honest as the croupiers in the average casino? After all, on the basis of its past performances, who can trust the General Government’s Judiciary in general—especially within the Second Circuit? Or, for that matter, who can trust the Supreme Court in particular, which is but a single Justice’s vote away from endorsing Justice Breyer’s “reasonable regulation” theory of the Second Amendment?
Of course, there is another route by which to secure the benefits of the Second Amendment with respect, not just to individuals’ rights to self-defense (upon which the NRA is fixated), but also to “the security of a free State” for this country as a whole (which is the Amendment’s true goal). Having written more than enough about that elsewhere, I shall refrain from repeating myself here.

As we head into 2016, Islam remains on course to dominate the United States of America. While somewhere between five and seven million Muslims inhabit our country today, they expect to gain 20 to 30 million of them by 2050—at current legal immigration rates.
If you recall 30 years ago, economists and academics called Lebanon the “Switzerland of the Mediterranean.” Unfortunately, it began its quest to “multiculturalize”—and succeeded. Today, Lebanon runs the gamut of Islamic terror attacks, multiple cultures, multiple languages, ruined economy and shredded civil society.
In France over the New Year’s night celebration, Muslims torched 804 cars in various forms of jihad against the French. (Source)
While Muslim numbers statistically remain minimum in the USA, they push at every opportunity to bring Sharia Law into being in our country, i.e., Garland, Texas; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Detroit, Michigan where their numbers explode. They remain pernicious in their quest.
America’s number one Muslim, Barack Hussein Obama, features in excess of 12 Islamic aides in the White House. Each carries on “soft or stealth” jihad against America.
Artif Alikhan, Mohammed Elibiary, Rashad Hussein, Salam al-Marayatii, Imam Muhammad Magid and Eboo Patel advise Barack on a daily basis.
If you remember back in 2007, Obama promised to “fundamentally change America.”
This video proves with documents and facts how Muslim operatives wage their jihad against America. There are more of them, but this video chills any American with the facts by top ranked American federal agents.
This video should go viral: it’s a playbook for overthrowing our country: EXPOSING OBAMA’S MUSLIM OPERATIVES
After you watch the video, you may want to vomit or see your counselor or call your representatives. We face serious threats from Obama in his last year office.
Whether you appreciate Islam’s march across Europe and think it won’t begin to dominate here, you would be sadly mistaken. It’s not a religion solely. It commands total domination of economic, banking, religious and daily life through Sharia Law. It’s malicious and degrading to all of humanity. It’s violent beyond anyone’s understanding.
“Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any faith, but to become dominant. The Qur’an should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.” Omar Ahmed, director of Council on American Islamic Relations.
At its core, it provokes violence toward anyone who does not understand its doctrines. Its Sharia Law proves itself the most violent, angry and sickening set of rules every written down on paper on this planet.
“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property – either as a child, a wife, or a concubine – must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.” – (Winston Churchill / 1874-1865)
As you can see from these great historians, no one writes a good word about Islam.
“I studied the Koran a great deal … I came away from that study with the conviction that by and large there have been few religions in the world as deadly to men as that of Muhammad. As far as I can see, it is the principal cause of the decadence so visible today in the Muslim world, and, though less absurd than the polytheism of old, its social and political tendencies are in my opinion infinitely more to be feared, and I therefore regard it as a form of decadence rather than a form of progress in relation to paganism itself.” Alexis de Tocqueville
Please forward that video to all your networks. Americans flat out don’t possess a clue as to Obama’s power to destroy our country in the coming 12 months. Whereas France suffered 804 torched cars over the New Year’s, Muslim can’t wait to torch the United States of America.
If you don’t want a Paris, France or San Bernardino event in your community, it’s time to call for a total “Immigration Shutdown Now.”
Call your senators and House rep: 1 202 224 3121. Demand a stop to all immigration and stop to any Syrian immigration.
Definition of slogan: “Immigration Shutdown Now means the American people want a total shutdown on all legal and illegal immigration. That means we want all illegal immigration stopped by arresting, prosecuting and jailing employers of illegal aliens. We deport all illegal aliens by taking their jobs away and as we catch them. We want English mandated as our national language. We demand a cessation of Muslim immigration in order to protect our culture, language and way of life. We can’t save the world but we can destroy our civilization. We demand a stable population that allows everyone to live, work and thrive into the 21st century. Especially our children.” FHW

A lawsuit was filed last month to keep constitutionally ineligible candidates, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and former Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal off the ballot in Vermont. Jindal dropped out of the race in November 2015 because nothing he said appealed to anyone, not to mention his horrific bungling as Governor of Louisiana:
• How Bobby Jindal Wrecked Louisiana, February 6, 2015
• How Bobby Jindal is leaving a budget mess for Louisiana’s next governor, February 12, 2015
There’s no need to rehash the entire history of all the lawsuits to keep the criminal impostor currently occupying the White House off the ballot in 2008 & 2012. A habitual liar who committed fraud against the people of this country with help from friends like Comrade Nancy Pelosi.
A fraud allowed to stand because of GUTLESS cowards sitting on the bench both at the state level and the U.S. Supreme Court. “We’re evading that one”. Clarence Thomas during a congressional hearing regarding presidential eligibility. Everyone, including Thomas, got a big laugh out of such a sickening admission that the U.S. Supreme Court was playing with the Constitution and bending over because of Barry Soetoro’s (Obama) skin color.
All the horror and misery heaped on this country since Marxist, Muslim Obama illegally took office could have been prevented in January 2009 by Republicans in the Outlaw Congress. But not one of them, not Ron Paul, Rep. Steve King [IA] or Sen. Jeff Sessions stood up for the Constitution. By not challenging Soetoro’s eligibility and stopping the electoral college vote every damn one of them is responsible for the destruction to this country by Barack Hussein Obama. Oh how he and that slug he’s married to must laugh themselves silly everyday for their good fortune. $70.5 MILLION dollars spent on vacations so far. [Get educated, read book: The Evolution and Destruction of the Original Electoral College]
We had a repeat of such cowardice in January 2013 by those constitution loving conservatives in the Outlaw Congress. Why? Because to find Soetoro ineligible would mean every bill he signed into “law” was null and void. Every treaty and every action he’s taken from troops dying for NOTHING in Iraq and Afghanistan to his favorite hobby, Executive Orders. It would mean “Justices” Elena Kagan (Kagan, Ginsburg acted ‘unethically and unlawfully’) and Sonia Sotomayor, who is a crook at the very least, are sitting on the Supreme Court illegally since old Barry is not legally the president. The very popular, Sen. Jeff Sessions, knew the big problems with Sotomayor and swept it under the rug:
• GOP Senators Ignore Sotomayor’s Criminal Activities, July 20, 2009
• Sotomayor’s Confirmation Vote Rescheduled – Here’s Why, July 22, 2009
• Justice Sotomayor: Tax Evasion, Perjury – What Did Obama Know & When?, April 23, 2012
All executed by an individual who usurped the office of president. You can’t tell me a whole lot of Republicans in the House didn’t know by 2012 Soetoro was ineligible. They let him get away with it in 2008 because of his skin color and sacrificed OUR country giving that stinking Marxist free reign to stomp in our faces. The worst from Obama is yet to come.
Most of the lawsuits to stop Obama were tossed by cowardly judges using the judicial hallucination called ‘standing’. If you would like to understand what happened, this is the most comprehensive analysis.
Millions of us had high hopes regarding lawsuits filed by Van R. Irion of the Liberty Legal Foundation in the State of Georgia. Please see this factual accounting. Kicked to the curb. Millions of us also had high hopes the Alabama Supreme Court would rent a bucket of guts that would finally bring this massive fraud to an end. That decision took almost a year. A decision defendants in the lawsuit below will surely use:
Alabama Supreme Court upholds decision to toss ‘birther’ lawsuit, Chief Justice Roy Moore dissents, March 21, 2014
“The Supreme Court majority upholding the lower court decision did not write an opinion, but justices Bolin and Bryan both wrote concurring opinions. Moore wrote a dissent, arguing the Alabama Secretary of State has a duty to investigate a presidential candidate’s qualifications. Bolin wrote that it was desirable to check the qualifications of each candidate and the Alabama Legislature should authorize certain investigative and related powers to the Secretary of State’s office to conduct such checks in the future, but he said for now, the office did not have the authority to engage in such checks.” Do take the time to read the article as Chief Justice Roy Moore’s opinion is very important. Here is the full decision.
A Secretary of State has no obligation to determine whether or not a candidate is eligible for the office they’re running for! Really? Not to do so is not only dereliction of duty, but absurd when you think about it.
I am not a lawyer, but I’ve been so blessed to have dear friends who are constitutional attorneys. They have taught me much. I predicted the very winnable Rodearmel v Clinton case would be thrown out of court because, and to this day I cannot fathom why not, Judicial Watch did not go after Clinton using the Quo Warranto remedy. Hillary Clinton usurped the office of Secretary of State, no question.
I predicted the recall effort against another crook, Sen. Robert Menendez would fail. It did: Sen. Menendez Recall Killed by NJ Supreme Court
My coverage of a new case regarding eligibility will no doubt bring more hate mail. Every time I’ve written a column focusing on why Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio are constitutionally ineligible my email box is flooded with profanity laced emails from their supporters who say they don’t care anymore. Cruz supporters yell at me in emails I’m nothing but a ‘birther troll’. The most important thing is to get one of them in the White House – particularly Ted Cruz. Desperation is NOT acceptable as justification for further shredding the U.S. Constitution.
Do read: Cruz Says ‘If Obama Can Do It, So Can I’ – One point about that excellent column – Cruz won’t talk about his eligibility, but he is following Obama’s deceitful game book: Ted Cruz Cracks to Press: ‘I Am Secretly a Citizen of Ethiopia’, August 23, 2013
H. Brooke Paige vs State of Vermont Secretary of State James Condos is the new filing. The complaint is here; 45 pages. This lawsuit is pro se (plaintiff has no attorney), but Paige did a very good job of putting his argument together along with supporting exhibits. Paige is collecting petition signatures to get on the primary ballot. I’m guessing to get around the phony ‘standing’ issue.
You can be sure two things are going to happen in Paige’s case: (1) Standing will be challenged and (2) like so many other decisions by gutless cowards wearing black robes, the argument will be made it’s not the job of a Secretary of State to verify eligibility. Really? I guess anyone can simply send in a form and get on a ballot for any office no matter who they are or even if they meet requirements for that office. Unfortunately no one challenged Cruz here in Texas. This one got by most of us: Ted Cruz is in the U.S. Senate Illegally?
On page 14 of his complaint, Paige cites four candidates who were allowed on the ballot in 2012 who had ZERO eligibility qualifications. Nothing shocks me anymore, but that one sure did. Which brings me around to the very beginning of challenging eligibility of the fraud in the White House.
Leo Donofrio filed the first challenge in October 2008 against Nina Mitchell Wells, New Jersey Secretary of State. Leo is a lawyer, although he no longer practices. After what was done to him he decided to suspend his license and get on with life. The deliberate and malicious shenanigans pulled by U.S. Supreme Court clerks should have gotten them fired at the very least, but of course, no action was ever taken.
Clarence Thomas distributed Leo’s case for conference, but as Thomas so jovially said, “We’re evading that one”. It costs a ton of money, not to mention time, to make a submission to the U.S. Supreme Court. They should have simply put a notice on the official U.S. Supreme Court web site back in December 2008: Don’t waste your money. We will not take on Obama’s eligibility because his skin is black and we’re afraid there might be riots. That’s what it all boiled down to back then.
The Supreme Court wasn’t the only dirty dealer: JustiaGate: ‘Natural Born’ Supreme Court Citations Disappear, December 14, 2011
“Did Justia.com deliberately aid Barack Obama in 2008 by helping to hide the one legal case that might prevent him from legally qualifying for the presidency? On October 20, 2011, New Jersey attorney Leo Donofrio accused online legal research behemoth Justia.com of surgically redacting important information from their publication of 25 U.S. Supreme Court opinions which cite Minor v. Happersett, an 1874 decision which arguably contains language that appears to disqualify anyone from presidential eligibility who wasn’t born in the country to parents who were citizens.”
Sickening. The article above gives a blow by blow account of more blatant dishonesty – all to protect a malignant narcissist and one of the most accomplished liars ever to occupy the White House next to Bill & Hill Clinton – Barry Soetoro aka Obama.
Leo had all of his filings on his web site, but I don’t see them anymore. However, his site is a treasure trove on this legal issue, historical facts on this legal issue and much more. While writing this column I went back to December 2008 and was once again amazed by Leo’s work. I know, it’s a massive amount of information that is ‘old history’. But, in order to get full understanding of something like this which is history, you have to go back to the beginning.
Early in this column I mentioned a case in the State of Georgia. Leo submitted an Amicus Brief for that case, January 23, 2012. It is thorough and succintly sums up the entire argument whether or not Barry Soetoro was constitutionally eligible to run for president. The clear answer is NO. Here is that brief. Even though I knew most of what’s in it, I read it. Approximately 55 pages; the rest is exhibits.
Which brings us back to this new lawsuit. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio clearly are not constitutionally eligible to run despite the opinion of those who willfully choose to ignore the facts. I know both have received a substantial number of polite snail mail letters as well as emails telling them they are not eligible and why. Not one person I know has received any response including yours truly. I must say Marco Rubio is quite puppet like. He’s very good at robotically rattling off his spiel, but I don’t believe he’s very intelligent. But, he’s smart enough to know at this point in time he’s not eligible.
Ted Cruz, on the other hand, is no dummy. Princeton, Haavard Law Review, Haavard Law grad, former Solicitor General for the State of Texas among other achievements. He’s a championship debater which accounts for his smooth and practiced delivery during the GOP debates. But, Cruz is very ambitious which is one of the reasons I don’t like or trust him. I know, he’s very popular with millions of Republicans. What I don’t respect is someone who has to know by now he’s not eligible to run for president thumbing his nose at the U.S. Constitution for personal gain. Like it or not, it’s what I believe because Ted Cruz is just too smart not to understand what Leo Donofrio wrote in the Amicus Brief I cited above.
Since both Cruz and Rubio are not going to man up and drop out, there is something you can do to clip their wings. The GOP convention is July 18-21, 2016 in Cleveland, Ohio. A friend of mine was able to secure me a pass to attend the 2008 GOP Convention in St. Paul, MN. The first couple of days delegates spent a lot of time in meetings behind closed doors. Watching Saint Sarah Palin on stage was not pleasant for me as I have never liked her; she sure as hell was not qualified for VP who is one heart beat away from the Oval Office. I am going to try to cover Cleveland if I can secure a pass and find the money.
The purpose of that convention is to nominate the party’s choice for president. That is done by delegates. If you want Donald Trump to win the nomination he is going to need every delegate possible. Keeping Cruz and Rubio from getting the nomination requires delegates to vote against him.
NOW is the time to try and become a delegate so you can attend the convention. Otherwise, the GOP elites are going to use every dirty trick in the book as they did against Ron Paul in 2008 to keep Trump from winning the nomination. Money is betting Rubio since he’s a player and it appears the cardboard cut-out, Jeb! couldn’t win a race for city council. If the majority of delegates are run of the mill party hacks you can expect the ‘establishment’ to shove their candidate down your throat so you can hold your nose and vote this November. Aren’t Republicans fed up with that game yet?
How do you become a delegate? This site deals with 2012, but has contact information for every state in the Union for GOP leaders. Hold your nose if you have to, but if you can, make the effort.
As for Paige’s lawsuit, will he prevail? Everyone knows the massive implications if Cruz and Rubio were to be kept off the ballot in any state: The criminal impostor in the White House should also have been keep kept off the ballot in any state in 2008 and 2012. Since Obama should not have been on the ballot, no one had the ‘right’ to vote for him. Is there a single judge in the State of Vermont with the courage to rule for the truth?
I guess we’ll see if Paige’s lawsuit is thrown out or allowed to proceed. Paige was assisted by constitutional attorney Mario Apuzzo in putting together his complaint. That is great; Mario’s web site is item 1 below. He has written extensively on this issue and been involved in earlier lawsuits. While I hate to say it, I predict the lawsuit will be thrown out. I would be ecstatic to be wrong, believe me.

[Just a short note about 9/11 and Smart Electric Meeters. The cost of America’s undeclared “war” (invasion) in Afghanistan has now reached $1 trillion borrowed dollars – massive debt heaped on us all based on what happened on 9/11. Regular readers of my column know I continue to press for the truth about the events of 9/11. Military grade nanothermite is not a conspiracy theory. It was found and tested from the rubble at the twin towers. A new, powerful film has been released: The Anatomy of a Great Deception. For full disclosure I receive no compensation, but I want you to get a copy (or a few) and share it with others or give a copy as a present. I’ve purchased half a dozen copies and given them to individuals I believe seek the truth. It’s very powerful simply because it’s one ‘ordinary’ man’s story who ask a simple question that led him to a not so simple journey. There is factual information in this film that many have never heard about but everyone should. Just a suggestion, order more than one and give one to a friend. Also, must see video on the dangers of Smart Meeters on your home, titled: Take Back Your Power.]

America has entered into some time machine and is playing with technologies and multi-dimensional realities that it does not understand. It’s as if we have activated live streaming from the fourth dimension, which has brought back the ghosts of the past into our present reality. The fleeting images of Nazi Germany keep entering a kind of collective consciousness in the American soul with major motion pictures like Star Wars, with what look like Nazi storm troopers in white body armor gathering at a massive Hitler rally with a giant symbol that looks like a Swastika. Countless other movies and television shows churn out a 24/7 cycle of cop shows, surveillance shows, military and “special ops” and spy movies, so that all you see is a stroboscopic bombardment of images of guns, surveillance technology, large black Suburban SUVs with dark tinted windows, terrorists, militarized police, bomb plots, and suitcase nukes.
The Hunger Games movies, including the latest, Mockingjay, whose title is a subliminal wink to the CIA’s Operation Mockingbird, which involves planting information, themes, and messages into films, entertainment, music, and television, shows Nazi motifs very similar to the latest Star Wars movie. What we have is the militarization of American consciousness and the revving up of a “will to power” to confront ISIS and the hordes of Hell getting ready for their orgy of slaughter, death, and destruction across Europe and America. In the book Mass Awakening I outline the dynamics of both evil and good mass awakenings.
Storm clouds from Hell are blowing over the soil of the America first planted by Native Americans, Pilgrims, and Puritans and then toiled upon by slaves from Africa brought here by “Christian” plantation owners. Digital American generations blinded to reality by their social media, cell phones, and iPods cannot see what the Indians, Pilgrims, and slaves knew: what you say, think, and do matters. Deceived by their unseen puppet masters they think that they are they are gods of their own universe and the center of the world. When multiple nukes go off on this precious American soil and human bodies light up like the Christmas trees they have censored from the public square, they are going to have what they call in the American secular corporate world a “come to Jesus meeting.”
2016 will be the most pivotal year in the history of America. In 2016 America will either experience some form of Great Awakening or America as we know it will die. We are one mass terrorist event away from a police state. The seismic pressures upon America are about to erupt with volcanic force, and as they do America as a free nation will be plunged into chaos and totalitarianism.
The seductive, magnetic power of this Nazi nightmare pulls upon each of us, and if we yield to it we will enter destruction. Is our destiny to be inevitably pulled into the chaos with no way out or do we have some degree of choice? The newly released movie, The Force Awakens, sends out a duality of messages. George Lucas, the film’s creator, was clearly depicting a mystical force with its roots in Hinduism, Shamanism, Taoism, and witchcraft. The “Force,” according to Lucas, is neither good nor bad; it is a duality. It is the Yin and the Yang in Taoism. While acknowledging the intent of Lucas, it is possible to lift the words and change the narrative of the film. This is not a blending or synthesis of New Age and Biblical thought. It is simply a technique of communication, borrowing a term from popular culture or “jacking” the narrative. Just as when in corporate culture they talk about a “come to Jesus” meeting, it has nothing to do with Jesus Christ; it is simply using revivalist language to communicate.
Thus, the term “the force awakens,” although intended to be mystical, can be used to illustrate the spiritual concept of a Biblical revival or “Great Awakening.” There is a power that can be accessed that is more powerful than nuclear weapons, terrorists, the schemes of the banking cartels, shadow governments, social engineering, and the seduction of totalitarianism. What power is this?
The teachings of Jesus Christ, the Apostles, and the Old Testament were never meant to be the tidy, impotent and two-dimensional machinations of bean counters, bureaucrats and feminized and frightened preachers, whose greatest fear is to actually think outside the box of religious delusion. Although the Infinite Personal Living God of the Universe is pure and holy, the greatest perversion is not sexual in nature; it is the perversion of the Power, Majesty, Presence and Glory of God. It is the deliberate twisting of God into something He is not, which is this mundane and powerless American synthetic religion, which is the spiritual equivalent of GMO food.
The Apostle Paul said “For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk, but power.” Paul was talking about power of God, which comes from the word dunamis, which means the true explosive force of God which awakens during a revival or a Great Awakening. It is capable of pouring out the wrath of God on Planet Earth, and yet can be as tender and innocent as the baby Jesus in a manger. In our modern culture the “keepers of the flame,” the ones charged with the duty of making sure the power of God is released upon a nation, no longer remember how to activate the switch. Thus in the time of America’s crisis, there is a paralysis in American Christianity.
However, when we revisit The First Great Awakening in America that took place just before the American Revolution, we see men who knew how to throw the switch of the power of God on a nation. The father of the First Great Awakening, Jonathan Edwards, was in distinct contrast to the majority of Christian leaders in America today. Although there are significant and notable exceptions, as a whole the Church leadership in America has produced a powerless Christianity with the intellectual force of the Cartoon Channel. According to Kenneth Minkema, the executive director of Yale’s Jonathan Edwards Center, in an interview by Jim Shelton in the New Haven Register News, May 15, 2010, “Jonathan Edwards combined the strict Calvinist beliefs of his puritan forebears with a cutting-edge knowledge of physics, history, psychology and other disciplines.” In Jonathan Edwards’ life, we see the cosmic trigger for a Great Awakening. First, Edwards preached a completely non-politically correct sermon called “Sinners in the Hands of An Angry God,” with a monotone voice. But when Edwards preached people literally shook and trembled with the power of God. Secondly, Jonathan Edwards was a brilliant philosopher and intellectual who understood the beginnings of atomic physics, psychology, history, and culture. Men like Edwards demonstrate how the power of God can be released into a nation, when spiritual power is merged with the intellectual power of reason and knowledge.
Contemporary Christianity, for the most part, cannot find the cosmic trigger to pull down the power of God out of Heaven, even though Jesus Christ said in the Lord’s Prayer “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” In addition, although there are exceptions, the intellectual force that should be developed in any true leader must involve the marriage of the Spirit of God, the Word of God, and a deep knowledge of history, philosophy, culture, science, and myriad other disciplines. It was this combination that allowed Edwards’ message to set the 13 original colonies on fire with the power of God and resulted in the birth of America.
Charles Finney, a lawyer and father of the Second Great Awakening, would vigorously and intellectually confront the Universalist religion of the wealthy New England elite. Although Finney’s theology was somewhat different from the Calvinist theology of Jonathan Edwards, Finney openly repented of his involvement in Freemasonry, which ignited revival among the Baptist leaders, many who were secretly involved in Freemasonry. The power of God began to erupt across America and was responsible for freeing the slaves. Edwards and Finney were not products of this “Cartoon Channel” Christianity prevalent today in America. Their messages called down power from on high on the Earth and shook America!
Conservatives, Republicans, Libertarians, and even Democrats make a fatal strategic error as they attempt to lead Americans in a new direction. Men and women are spiritual beings and they are won over by the power, passion, energy, and ultimately “spiritual force” of the leaders of a movement. Like it or not, the leaders of the radical left in the 1960s were energized by a spiritual force which produced passion and transformation although they never acknowledged the spiritual nature of this force. A spiritual force embodied by Martin Luther King, Jr. energized the power of the Civil Rights Movement. Throughout history it has always been powerful spiritual forces that have brought about transformation. Some of these spiritual forces are evil and some are good. For example, evil spiritual forces raised Lenin and Hitler up. The human soul was designed by God to be filled with passion, and that passion will be driven by good or evil. There are very powerful spiritual forces that operate in this world and these forces can change the direction of destinies and history. The Bible identifies these forces and describes how the power of God can be released in a nation. In addition, there are occult and scientific forces that can also be released. Carl Jung pointed to the “collective unconscious,” and Nicola Tesla learned to tap into unlimited energy that was so powerful that industrialists and governments have attempted to keep it secret to this day. Tesla not only personally tapped into information from the fourth dimension, but he invented technology based on the information.
What has been called “The Pentecostal Movement” represented a global release of spiritual power that has impacted over a billion people. In 1906 what was known as the Azusa Street Revival began under the leadership of an African-American preacher named William Joseph Seymour in a small church in Los Angeles. The Pentecostal Movement exploded from Azusa Street, emphasizing holiness, what is called the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, miracles, and speaking in tongues. Later the Pentecostal Movement morphed into what was called the Charismatic Movement and Jesus Movement. While old time Pentecostals referred to the Holy Spirit as the “Holy Ghost,” the Charismatic Movement eventually preferred the softer term, “Spirit Filled.” These Christian movements, along with the more Evangelical-style Christians, who shunned things like “tongues,” eventually became the base of the Republican Party. Savvy Politicians like George H.W. Bush, one of the most powerful Freemasons in the world (he also belonged to the sinister Skull and Bones society and attended Bohemian Grove meetings and was a vocal proponent of the New World Order) strategically mobilized “born-again” Christians to support his presidential election and the Republican Party. Interestingly enough, as Dr. Thomas Horn points out:
“For our purposes, the connection between Freemasonry, Skull and Bones (which George W. Bush is also a member of), and the knowledge that ‘Moriah Conquering Wind’ is a title by which the occult insiders identify themselves, is notable. Moriah is an ancient term and its connection to “divine wind” as a vehicle for God and angelic war is important to Jewish Apocalyptic and mystical literature as well as to mainstream religious and esoteric minded peoples for different reasons.”
Even George H.W. Bush, former head of the CIA, and apparently a very pragmatic and rational man, acknowledges the reality of powerful supernatural forces, as in “Moriah Conquering Wind.” But “born-again” Christians, who had their roots in supernatural revival, allowed themselves to become the unpaid mistresses of the Republican Party, with almost nothing to show for it. The Pentecostal Movements and Charismatic Movements have never made the profound and lasting impact on America that the Great Awakenings of Edwards and Finney produced. During the First Great Awakening, not only a powerful spiritual revival was released, but a robust intellectualism and statesmanship, which allowed for the most important principles in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The belief that it was the Creator who gave us certain inalienable rights such as “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness” and things like freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of religion, among other rights is completely unique in human history!
But the power of a true Biblical revival and a genuine Third Great Awakening was short circuited in Pentecostal and Charismatic Christianity because, like the Evangelical Movement at large, they rejected intellectualism, art, creativity, history, philosophy, science, and geopolitics, and the results are all around us. Atheists, skeptics, agnostics, and people from other religions look upon the American Christianity (as it is practiced today) and see its lack of any connection with reality, and so it has a waning impact upon the culture.
Americans…including a majority of those who call themselves “Christians”…are sinking into a kind of cultural quicksand. A fog has covered America and in the darkness of this fog a secretive elite, which we discuss in the book The Babylon Code has constructed an architecture of evil which is openly planning the destruction of America. There is only one force on Earth strong enough to withstand it, and it is not the “force” in Star Wars, or pre-packaged sound-bytes from most politicians, who are nothing more than the lackeys of the kings and queens of this new global feudal state.
The force that must be released, and the only force powerful enough to change the direction of history, is genuine power from on high, the kind that produced the First and Second Great Awakening. It was the release of this spiritual energy, which changed the landscape of America.
It is the power of revival wedded with intelligence, knowledge, and the ability to think deeply and strategically. Make no mistake about it; the power of this revival and the movement that will arise from it is being summoned now. At a certain point, America will see a tipping point and then the game changer. The question is: what part will you play in the most important time in America’s history? Make no mistake about it, each of us will be directly responsible for the future that comes and you and I, along with our children, will live in it.
Are you so naive to think it can’t happen here? It is already happening here my friend and there is not much time left to change it!

One thing that I have noticed over the last 35-40 years is the apathy of the voters in America. When growing up my father was adamant about me knowing current events and especially the good and bad things about the political candidates. He was an immigrant, legal by the way, and America was his new home. He was proud of that more than I can describe in words. He came from a place where socialism reigns supreme and that nation is now in chaos because it is broke, as all socialist countries will end up because socialism will never work, has never worked.
America is coming to a point in the road where we will have to either go down that road and end up on the trash heap of history the same as the USSR or we will take a stand and revert back to the nation our Founders designed and return to capitalism that is the only foundation for a prosperous and strong nation. This was proved beyond a doubt from the founding of America until even today. No nation has prospered like America and given more freedom to its people than America. But we are losing both at an exponential rate because we are allowing the philosophy of socialism and secular humanism.
The Democrats, ever since the Kennedy administration, have taken a road that is leading us to the same destination that the USSR ended up at, national bankruptcy. The Obama administration has accelerated this journey exponentially in the last seven years. As of January of 2015 we have seen a major downward trend in America’s economy and status in the world. It has all been because of the economic policies of the Democrats. Many say that we need to get back to Clintons economic policies, which he takes all the credit for, but what not many people know is those policies were not his, they were the policies of the Republican controlled Congress and he vetoed them twice before he finally signed them. Sadly to say the Democrats have not had anyone with common sense in economics since JFK.
Since Obama has taken office we have seen 6.5 million people quit the work force. This is how Obama claims the unemployment is down. These people still are not employed but they have given up looking for jobs any more so they are no longer counted as unemployed. The federal debt is up 55%! He said he would reduce it but he has spent more than all 43 Presidents before him. The cost of gas is up 79%. He claims that America’s oil production is up because of his policies but they are only up because of the private sector which he can’t control. Oil production on federal lands, which are resources that belong to the American people not the federal government, is down about 40% at the requirement of Obama. The number of Americans in poverty has risen 23% under Obama, food stamp recipients have increased an unbelievable 46%! These are not figures that show a strong economy nor do they show leadership. They are figures that point to an abject failure on this administration’s ability to understand the workings of a nation economy. This is what happens when we elect a person that has never had to work a day in his life, never ran a business, and never had to make a payroll. He only has 6% of his cabinet that have ever run a business. Reagan’s cabinet had 63% of successful businessmen.
I learned a long time ago that we have to vote person not Party but today there is no one running in the Democrat Party that has any sense about economics. Hillary Clinton has no more experience in economics than Obama. Bernie Sanders doesn’t even understand that even if he taxed every person and business at 100% he still couldn’t pay for what he is promising. Not many in the Republican field are any better but we do have a couple governors that have run the economies of States successfully and a businessman that knows all aspects of economics as well as dealing with foreign entities. This is more talent than most of the Democrats combined.
This is why this election is so important to America. One Party is offering to continue down the road we are on which will do nothing but turn America into a third world nation . The other Party at least has some competent people with good experience that can help slow down the bleeding that we are doing economically and the only hope we have to begin to turn this nation around. But it isn’t just economics that has been destroyed in the last seven years. The character of the man in the White House has degraded that office like no other in history. How long can we stand as a nation when we allow our children to be murdered in the womb? Granted he did not start that. It began with Richard Nixon but Obama has almost made it mandatory and is trying to force all people to pay for this ungodly genocide. Only a heartless fool would try to force a group of Catholic nuns like the Little Sisters of the Poor to pay for birth control and abortion drugs[1], but that is Obama. He rejects a Christians point of view on this subject but has exempted muslims from Obamacare and performing jobs they were hired to do based on their religious beliefs.[2] It seems that only islam is a protected religion in America today. Christian bakers have to violate their faith and provide goods and services for something Christians find abominable but muslims don’t have to deliver beer[3], handle bacon[4], alcohol[5], carry service dogs in cabs[6] and a list of other things because it is against their faith.
Obama has also destroyed our reputation around the world. We are seen as weak and spineless. Our allies don’t trust us and our enemies don’t fear us. Obama has decimated our military to the point that it is weaker than pre-WWII! We need a person that will return our military to its strength that Reagan built it up to and have the resolve to retaliate when a third world bully nation tries to do something we crush them with speed and force that no other nation would dare to mess with America.
This is what Reagan meant by ‘Peace through strength.’ Trump has eluded to bring America back to its once #1 place in the world for military power. If we don’t re-establish America as a world military power we will continue to see San Bernardino’s, 911’s and many other situations that will keep terror and fear in the hearts of Americans.
We need to pay close attention to who we place in places or authority. We must chose people who have enough experience to handle the position they being put into. Neither Obama nor Hillary Clinton have been qualified for the positions that they have held. Both have lied to the American people time and time again. Both have degraded their positions for their own political gain. As a nation we can’t continue to have unqualified people in leadership. It is going to take a lot of work to correct the disaster that Obama and this Congress has created. We have to remember that Congress has a 9-12% approval rating but we return 90+% of them back to DC hoping they’ll solve the problems that they created. That’s the definition of insanity. All the life long career politicians need to leave and get new people in. People who will actually solve the problems we have and return America to the greatness that the Founders gave us.

The debate in our land intensifies on the issue of immigration. For example, questions are asked: who should we let in, should we exclude some or not, and should we be protected from those of certain belief systems whom might intend to harm us. A week before Thanksgiving in Turkey this year, Obama said regarding whom we let into our country, “it is good to remember that the United States does not have a religious test…” He went on to denounce any calls for a religious test for refugees and immigrants, saying: “That’s shameful. That’s not American. That’s not who we are.”
Then on Pearl Harbor Day aboard the USS Yorktown in Mount Pleasant, S.C. “Donald Trump took his plan for tightening the nation’s borders to a new level— and drew condemnation from Republican opponents as well as Democrats — by calling for “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.” He said the ban should apply “until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on” with regard to the attitudes of Muslims toward Americans and terrorism. ‘Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life.’ Much of the crowd gave the policy a… standing ovation.”[2]
Which one is right? Does the Word of God speak to this issue. Now this command we are examining this week in our series “True Law is God’s Law” might seem to have nothing directly to do with immigration, but I hope to show you this morning that the principles involved in the application of this law very directly relate to this same issue.
The Treatment of Those who are at War Against God – Exodus 22:18 “Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.” I have to say that of all of God’s Law which stands in our era this is one that has sustained the most direct and consistent attack; unending ridicule and slander have been heaped upon it. Much fodder has been made out of the Salem witch trials, which if you understand the law of God there were massive violations of the principles of justice in those trials. Yet the pro-witch propagandists would have us believe that Salem was the accurate application of Exodus 22:18. It was not.
There has been a wholesale and retail marketing of the evil of witchcraft in all its forms in our day. Way back with the Wizard of Oz there was the good witch Glenda who was opposed to the wicked witch of the West. There have been countless positive messages about witches, wizards, fortunetellers, sorcerers, shamans, and mediums ad infinitum. What we need to understand is that all such individuals have aligned themselves with Satan in a war against the One True God. This law deals with the treatment of those who have declared war upon God.
To understand the Command in the larger context, turn to Deuteronomy 18:9-15. Let’s look at these nine forbidden practices:
• he that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, (this is child sacrifice that was practiced by many of the pagan religions where they would literally burn their child to death.
• he that useth divination, (divination is a methodology usually employing some physical object in order to uncover answers to any question you might ask of the spirit world, that is receiving answers from the demons who are part of the Satanic kingdom of darkness).
• he that is an observer of times, this refers to Astrology, that is predictions by the stars, planets or moon; horoscopes; are referred to as ‘observing times.’ “Although the Bible does not go into great detail about astrology, it certainly makes its position clear. We should never trust in astrological beliefs or predictions. Our lives are not determined by the stars or movement of planets.
• he that an enchanter,
• he that is a witch,
• he that is a charmer, (these three are all expressions of similar practices, “occult magic or divination are a manifestation of demonic powers or the result of demon possession (Acts 16:16). Of course, the power of Satan and his demons is extremely limited compared to God’s power. Those who follow the path of the magic arts are on the wrong path – a road that leads away from God, not toward Him.”)[3]
• he that is a consulter with familiar spirits,
• he that is a wizard,
• he that is a necromancer. These three ares the practice of mediums.

As I think back over the past year – the past 7 years, to be more precise – we have lost the most important commodity possible: Truth.
Veritas. Truth. It’s been missing in action for a long time.
One symptom of lost truth is what Republican Presidential candidates refer to as “political correctness.” The only reason political correctness exists is so people can avoid truth. It is why we have no meaningful laws in our courtrooms. It is behind much of the post traumatic stress suffered by so many of our soldiers. They have no idea about government corruption until they serve their country and find the government cares more about the lives of the enemy than its own warriors and veterans.
A few months ago, I wrote an article stating the political establishment has no idea how badly it had damaged America by making it apparent the government cannot be trusted to act in the public, rather than the political, interest. The anger we see towards the political establishment in the current election is a mere reflection of that anger – and it is only the tip of an iceberg.
Political correctness has brought the American public to the brink of revolt (which is a bad idea… the other side controls all of the weapons of war). The loss of truth has caused a social upheaval that has wreaked havoc in the hearts of people worldwide and does harm far beyond our shores. What is political correctness if not accepting as truth various opinions your common sense tells you are not true? That is what Donald Trump (University of Pennsylvania) sees so clearly and what he very capably tells the American public. He has common sense and a lack of fear of the crowd from Yale… the skull and bonesmen.
Knowing what we know about the Skull and Bones club at Yale, why would we ever even think of electing to office anyone who graduated from that school? (By the way, only two Presidential candidates are Yale grads: Dr. Ben Carson and Hillary Clinton… and neither were skull and bonesmen).
What do we know about Yale graduates?
We know Prescott Bush was a Yale skull and bonesman… class of 1917. We know E. Roland Harriman was part of the same class as Bush – 1917. We know Averill Harriman was Roland’s brother and we know Prescott Bush and Averill formed an American investment bank and that they funded the Nazis during World War II. Though their banks were taken from them because of the treason they perpetrated against us, neither was prosecuted – and their losses from the confiscation of their property weren’t really losses because the money was returned to them. The lack of prosecution is a big red flag that these two men were not operating independently.
Some people say the treachery against America started with F. Trubee Davison who graduated from Yale a year after Bush and Harriman… 1918. Yes, Trubee was also a skull and bonesman. He became Assistant U.S. Secretary of War, a State Representative in New York, and, after World War II, the first Personnel Director at the newly-formed CIA. Prescott Bush, a former OSS chief, was heavily involved in structuring the CIA and Prescott’s son, George Herbert Walker Bush, became the Agency’s 11th Director just prior to becoming Vice President of the United States.
Ronald Reagan rejected G.H.W. Bush (a Yale grad and skull and bonesman – so is his son, George W.) as his running mate in the 1980 election. The same Republican National Committee that is working so hard today to make you want Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio (neither went to Yale) and to reject electable conservative candidates insisted Reagan accept Bush or do without funds to take the Presidency from Jimmy Carter.
Within months of becoming President of the United States, an assassination attempt badly disabled Reagan. Bill O’Reilly documents this well-researched fact in his book, Killing Reagan. Many of the decisions pushed through the Congress came from Bush, not Reagan. Yes. I refer specifically to the Contra dirty laundry, guns for oil, guns for drugs, the drug routes and air landing sites, etc.. Bill Clinton is a good friend of G.H.W. Bush and the family. Ollie North, now with Fox News, worked for G.H.W. Bush, not President Reagan.
The loss of truth did not begin with the Obama administration. It merely became more apparent during the past 7 years. It began long ago, largely with the Rothschild era, but it has been carried on enthusiastically by those who think of themselves as progressive. It boggles the brain that so many people who think they are intellectually superior to the average American can watch the social order being dragged back to the cave post haste and think their ideas and ideals are “progressive.” What they are doing could not be more regressive!
Being educated has little to do with common sense. Being knowledgeable is quite different from being informed and/or educated. Knowledge requires hands-on experience implementing information and seeing whether it benefits or harms the objective to be achieved. One cannot gain wisdom from ideas and philosophy about what ought to work. That comes only from experience… and from there common sense derives.
We have let them steal our common sense. We didn’t fight very hard to keep it.
When people motivated by power close in on their objective of exercising total world power, they become careless in their arrogance. What pleasure does power offer, after all, if one must wear it with humility… quietly like a shadow sneaking through the darkness? Power brings wealth, but wealth can be boring. There are only so many things you can buy, so many trips you can take, so many cruises on which you can embark… eventually a wealthy ego wants to be recognized for achievements it probably did little to achieve. That is what has happened during the past 7 years. Arrogance now reigns supreme.
Does listening to truth-based common sense make you a racist or a homophone or a religious zealot? No. There is nothing racist or homophobic or religious about the truth and that is the greatest lesson we should all learn from 2015.
Is political correctness everyone else’s fault? No. It is the fault of people who are afraid of being thought racist or homophobic or religious fanatics. When your common sense tells you that you are not a homophobe, stand up at your next school board meeting and object to teachers who want your third graders to be told how wonderful the homosexual lifestyle is. Those who think you are homophobic or anti-religious or racist in the obvious face of opposing logic are the ones with a problem, not you. Do your research and object on reasons of common sense, not opinion.
Here are some things you need to keep in mind about truth (which is merely a set of facts that provides evidence of the existence of truth):
1. To find truth you must have a deep and abiding desire for it and when you find it, test it (gain experience) to verify it.
2. Recognize that many things are not what they seem to be. Others want to convince you that what they say is true so you will support their message of untruth. They will use deceit to achieve that goal. Trust but verify.
3. Question your own assumptions and premises as strongly as you question those of others who disagree with you.
4. Truth is like an onion. It is often buried beneath several layers. The deeper it is buried, the more important it is to strip away that which covers it. Those who have dark secrets cover their lies with layers of deception. The greater the deception, the deeper is the cover. That should explain why so many political candidates convince people they will support conservative causes, then vote liberal or neo-conservative (RINOs). Too few layers of the truth onion were peeled back.
5. Truth has nothing to do with “feelings” or “emotions.” Just because something feels right or good doesn’t make it true. Base your views on facts and objective reality. In this day and age of misinformation and disinformation, it is critical to look at ALL facts, not just those that support your opinions.
6. Require all people (including yourself) to be accountable for their lies and opinions because people are hurt when untruths are used to achieve an objective. Being accountable doesn’t mean saying “I’m sorry.” It means paying for and correcting problems lies create. It’s called “justice.”
7. Challenge the motives of those in positions of power – that includes politicians, teachers, nurses, policemen, doctors, pharmaceutical companies, etc. The powerless are often attracted to positions of power (though the great majority choose their careers for the right reasons). When they do something that doesn’t make sense, question it. Never fear asking your doctor to read you the side effects of any prescribed medication, for example.
8. Welcome dissent. Debate and responding to criticism sharpens your mind. Don’t argue; rather, discuss. Passion is okay; anger is not.
9. To be humble does not mean lying down and letting others use you as a doormat. It means keeping an open mind. An expert who closes his/her mind to changes in their area of expertise loses the status of “expert.” Be clear in defining the words you use.
If more of us would just stop letting fear motivate us, political correctness would be quickly sent to the woodshed.
It is time for us to give common sense the respect it is due. Remember, though, that common sense is based on a perception of truth That is why returning to a truth-based society is so important. Without truth, there is no sane concept of common sense. Without truth and common sense, we cannot get rid of political correctness.
Why fight if you can live without fighting?
If you don’t fight (and I do not refer here to a lawless revolt against authority), you’ll lose your freedom and live life as a slave. If that’s what you want for you and your kids, okay… but don’t complain about the chains that come with lost freedom. You asked for it.

“Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do crumbles to the ground although we refuse to see.
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind.”
~Kansas, “Dust in the Wind” (1977)
I’ve always enjoyed progressive rock, even if it raises my Christian friends’ brows sometimes. Much of it is well done, and sounds like some thought went into it. As implied by my referencing Madonna at the outset, popular music is often a good guide to the zeitgeist of a culture. Many singers/songwriters are sensitive to this in ways academics are not. Our cultural worldview, as I’ve emphasized, is fundamentally materialist, and even those uninterested in the philosophical specifics laid out in Part One will find themselves immersed in its consequences, one of which is the exclusive preoccupation with material goods amidst ethical ambiguity. One of the questions underwriting this ambiguity was best put by one of the first philosophy professors I was a teaching assistant for, back in the early 1980s. Are there any absolute values? was the question she posed in class. Must we rest content with the relativism of the anthropologists?
The German philosopher Immanuel Kant (1724 – 1804) believed we could deduce absolute duties from Pure Reason, and they would apply to all rational beings. He called his main principle the categorical imperative: always act as if the maxim or principle guiding your action could apply to everyone (I am paraphrasing, of course). Always tell the truth out of respect for the truth and respect for others as moral agents. Always keep your promises out of the same respect. Honor contracts. What is morally wrong is making exceptions for oneself, or treating oneself as a special case. Morality is universal or it is useless. Kant had problems, however, when universal duties appeared to conflict, as they sometimes did.
Great Britain’s John Stuart Mill (1806 – 1873), a Utilitarian, argued that morality is a matter of following the greatest happiness principle: your action is ethical if it creates a greater balance of happiness over unhappiness in the world, where happiness tends to mean pleasures of various sorts (those of the mind, such as scientific knowledge or appreciation of the arts, take precedence over those of the body, involving sensuality and appetites). This kind of position logically permits the sacrifice of some if it brings about enough knowledge and social benefits for the rest to enjoy a greater balance of happiness. And by the way, these are not idle games played by intellectuals locked away in academic cubicles. Mill’s ideas were widely studied and absorbed into governing bodies throughout the English-speaking world. They came to affect policy decisions in a variety of arenas, and were furthered by people who barely even heard of Mill himself. The sacrifice of dozens of black men in Macon Co., Ala., during the Tuskegee syphilis experiment is consistent with utilitarian thought! The public health community got away with this for decades! Also compatible with utilitarianism is every decision to send the children of the masses to fight wars of choice!
So is it the case that, as Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky’s (1821 – 1881) character Ivan Karamazov put it, “If God does not exist, then everything is permitted”? Twentieth century secular ethics has been a struggle against this wretched conclusion, as well as against the relativism of anthropologists such as Benedict. Thus far, the results are less than promising!
A few major thinkers of the later twentieth century weighed in with fresh proposals. Among the best known is John Rawls (1921 – 2002), who pursued a theory of social justice as fairness. He sought to identify rules that would be adopted by rational persons from behind a veil of ignorance: that is, from an ideal vantage point where the adopter does not know his race or class standing or other particulars. What principles would be most worth embracing by the rational and fair-minded? Rawls’s answer: every person should have basic liberties no government can take away, to the extent compatible with equal liberties for all (the liberty principle); “offices and positions” should be open to all persons regardless of race and sex (an equality of opportunity principle); inequalities, to be acceptable, must work to the advantage of the worst off (the difference principle).
Rawls’s critics noted that his original position (behind the veil of ignorance) works under the assumption that most people are risk averse. They would not want to risk the results of principles that left disadvantaged groups to fend for themselves, as they might be in one such group. Saying this is a bit strange, however, and others wondered if the thought experiment was realistic. Can anyone actually imagine themselves behind a “veil of ignorance”? It certainly doesn’t comport with the identity-politics that has come about since Rawls wrote his major work A Theory of Justice (1971). Rawls did not see any connection between morality and justice on the one hand and metaphysics or worldviews on the other. The idea that these areas can be divorced from one another is part of secular ethics in the material world.
One of Rawls’s Harvard colleagues, Robert Nozick (1938 – 2002), developed an individualist ethic, as have other notable libertarian philosophers such as Tibor R. Machan (1939 – ), some influenced by Ayn Rand (1905 – 1982). They focused instead on negative rights of individuals, rights to be left alone in ways that imply no duties to others except to leave them alone. These they contrasted with supposed positive rights to specific goods someone is obligated to supply, which led to collectivism. Their view was that all individuals have the right to act freely, pursue their own goals, and keep the fruits of their labors (private property) so long as they do not interfere with the same negative rights of others. All should deal voluntarily with one another in the free market. According to the non-aggression principle, central in the libertarian ethos, what is forbidden is physical aggression or coercion against others.
This view appeals to defenders of freedom and Constitutionally limited government, obviously, since to the libertarian government is the primary aggressor against individuals’ rights, to be kept very small (minarchism, what Nozick called the night watchman state) or eliminated (anarchocapitalism), therefore. The downside is that individuals rendered helpless or infirm, e.g., by illness or infirmity late in life, would have no inherent right to care, as that would be a positive right. For libertarian purists, even social security is the collectivized and forcible taking from some and giving to others. Negative rights do not do you much good, however, if all they come down to is a “right” to starve, or to die helpless. Families are considered responsible for helping their own, but reality is that in industrial civilization family members have had to spread everywhere in search of work, often leaving elderly parents behind.
Nothing in libertarianism forbids a person from acting on his own to help, e.g., Alzheimer’s patients who are alone. This is hardly reassuring, though. An ethic of purely negative rights seems neither realistic nor humane. Libertarians assumed, moreover, that free market dynamics plus what Nozick’s night watchman state would be sufficient to control corporate greed or prevent the dominance of the state by corporations acting in consort as they hungered after power. History suggests that this is wrong, that the locus of power is not government per se but networked corporate leviathans who can buy political loyalty. One need only read John Perkins’s (1945 – ) Confessions of an Economic Hit Man (2004) to see the role corporations have played in controlling governments and bringing about a wide variety of regime changes and cultural catastrophes against those who resisted.
While all these various notions have all received great discussion and debate, no one position has emerged as dominant. Richard Rorty (1931 – 2007), arguably the last major philosopher of the twentieth century (and possibly the last major philosopher the West will produce), put it like this in his Consequences of Pragmatism (1982): again to paraphrase, in the actual world, people have the rights and obligations society says they have, no more and no less. We are back to the anthropological view. Society, neither Rorty nor they quite tell us, devolves upon authority, especially those with the capacity to enforce their will on others, or to use language in ways ensuring psychological conditioning and de facto control. One of Rorty’s favorite philosophers was educationist John Dewey (1859 – 1952). Dewey, who had studied under Wundtian G. Stanley Hall whom we mentioned earlier, had also seen merit in behaviorism.
All of the philosophers we have considered were atheists except for Kant who believed society benefited from a general belief in God, although from a philosophical standpoint Kant decoupled God from morality. Later philosophers just built on this separation. Kant did not believe our reason was capable of solving the problem of whether or not God exists; its categories, Kant called them, limited its possibilities.
But we cannot really evade the choice: believe in God and His commands, or not? To not choose is to be an operational atheist, acting as if God does not exist while going along with what is fashionable, ethically speaking.
Rorty’s implicit answer to Dostoevsky is: “If God doesn’t exist, then everything is permitted that your fellows allow, the state permits, or that you can get away with.” The infamous “eleventh commandment”: thou shalt not get caught. If your culture has not convinced you that you shouldn’t lie, cheat, steal, or go on stage and perform nearly naked (think Miley Cyrus!), then so much the worse for your culture! Any ethical objections to the idea that corporations may do as they please and call it “the free market at work” turn out to be toothless.

A long, long, time ago
I can still remember how
that music used to set me free
Long before our past was rewritten
Americans sang the songs of hope,
Faith and Love to the God above,
And they even made some of the people cry
And I knew if I had my chance
that I could restore that sacred dance
And it would set the people free
But next February will make you shiver
As every judgment that God delivers
will bring bad news on your doorstep
Americans won’t take one more step
I can remember how I cried
When I read about his ruined bride
The Spirit of God touched me deep inside
The day the righteous music died
So now its time, to say Goodbye
Bye, bye to Miss America Pie
You can drive your Chevy to the levee
But the churches are all dry
And the pastors are just good ole boys
Getting drunk on their whiskey and rye
Singin’ this will be the year that I die
This’ll be the year that I die
Did you ever read the book of love?
The one God wrote from above?
Do you know that the Bible is the only truth?
So don’t be fooled by the Christian rock
For satanic music can’t ever save your mortal soul
Well, I know that some of you are in love with him
Cause I saw you dancing in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
And now you’ll learn the reason
All of his lovers have to sing the blues
I was a holy teenage Jesus freak
And the only thing I would ever seek
Was to hear his voice so clearly in my ear
As I walked in His love I learned of his fear
But I knew the truth in my heart even way back then
the American church had run out of luck on
the day the righteous music died
So I started singin’
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
You can drive your Chevy to the levee
But the American churches are all dry
And the pastors are all just good ole boys
Getting drunk on their whiskey and rye
Singin’ this will be the year that I die
This’ll be the year that I die
In the coming years
you will all be on your own
Best to leave the broken down cities soon
For they are not a home
But that’s not how it used to be …
But now you must find your way
through a desolate wilderness
but always know you’re not alone
for if you remain true to him,
He’ll always walk close with you.
But now the jester sings for your king and queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
In a voice that came right out of hell
Yet He promised you, all will be well
While we were looking for the America dream
The jester stole our freedom and our Christian crown
And so the courtroom in heaven has now adjourned
The final verdict will now be returned
And while our children are taught from a book by Marx
The false teachers prophesy in the park
And the children of Belial sing dirges in the dark
For this is the year in which America died,
Yes this is the year they will remember America died….
So lets all start singin’
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
You can drive your Chevy to the levee
But the churches are all dry
And all of the pastors are all just good ole boys
They might as well drink their whiskey and rye
For this will be the year that they all die
This’ll be the year that they all die
Helter skelter is coming soon
Even though we once walked the moon
And in the heat of next summer’s swelter
Americans will watch as their cities burn …
But Americans don’t even have a fallout shelter
Eight miles high will be the blast
And then the fallout will be falling fast
turning our land so foul that it will kill the grass
As the pretenders try another forward pass
While the jester on the sidelines, he just laughs
With his face disguised, he wears a pastor’s robe,
Now that all of the Charasmagic spells are cast
But nobody even cared they won’t last …
The spirit of God forsook that show
So many, many years ago,
on the day the holy music died
Now the half-time air has sweet perfume
While patriots play their marching tune
but the day of reckoning is still coming soon
And as all the people get up to dance
They are all shocked to learn
they will never get another chance
‘Cause as the men of God tried to take the field
The false worship band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the righteous music died?
Oh, and now we’re all in the same place
Our generation is so lost in space
With no time left to even try again
So America must now pay for all her sin
As sorrow fills her eyes, they slowly dim
The Jester’s promises were all just lies
We will soon learn we traded our birthright
For a cheap disguise, but never mind
So come on, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
The witches are burned by their candlestick
‘Cause this fallen nation we once knew
is now the devil’s only friend
Oh and as I watched him prancing on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
Only an angels born in Hell
would dare to invoke Satan’s spell
As the flames climbed higher into the night
They light the sacrificial rite
And I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the righteous music died
I met a girl who once sang the blues
I asked her for some happy news
She just smiled and as she turned away
I thought I heard her try to say
I have to raise a remnant for my King.
So I went back down to the sacred store
Where I’d heard the righteous music
many years before but the man there said
the sacred music will no longer play
And in the streets of America
the children will scream
The lovers shall all cry
while the poets still dream
But not one word of truth is spoken
For the church bells are all now broken
America threw away God’s Holy Word
The seeds of truth all stolen by the birds
Now in Babylon there is never a holy night
While the people pretend that it’s all right
And now Jesus’ name cannot even be spoken
For our holy vows have all been broken
And America thought we were just playing a game,
And that somehow we could choose all this sin,
And follow the devil and yet only win
Now America’s churches all empty out
They will breathe their last sigh without a shout
For the word of God is no longer welcome here
And our nation has forgotten his holy fear.
Now prosperity is their only thought
As the lies of the Joker have all been bought
And in our land they only curse his name
And in their sin, they have no shame
And all the people are fast sleep
With spells so strong they can’t be woken
Yet one day they find all is broken
So now everyone is so confused
Ever since the day the music died.
And the one man who I admire most
The Father’s son, who came filled with the Holy Ghost
He has prepared a last train and it’s headed for the coast
To save his remnant on that day,
the day the righteous music died

As 2016 roars into life, you probably wrote a list of things you hope to accomplish in your personal life in the coming year. If you didn’t write it down, you probably made a few promises to yourself. They key: you must take action to make your life productive, purposeful and successful.
The same goes for our country. We need a vision, a plan and a course of action. I hope most Americans feel the need for positive change. Examine these wishes for the New Year.
For 2016, after the seven-year train-wreck Barack Obama engineered against our country, I hope Barack Hussein Obama quickly fades into our rear view mirrors. He proved himself contemptuous of the American people of all colors. Obama usurped our U.S. Constitution by illegally breaking its mandates. He took the law into his own hands with his executive amnesty of millions of illegal aliens who violated our laws and continue to violate our laws.
He jumped our food stamp dependents from 36 million to 48 million because his mantra for “hope and change” didn’t include creating jobs for whites, blacks or Hispanics. During his White House years, he did nothing to change the job pictures for most African-Americans who suffered unemployment. He led no one out of poverty, but he plunged millions of Americans into the poor house.
When you realize that he oversaw 73 percent of African-American children arrived out of wedlock and into welfare poverty—but he did nothing—you wonder how did he fool so many for so long with his lack of leadership.
Obama jumped the federal deficit from $13 trillion to $19 trillion. It shows you how incompetent his reign of governing, especially since he played so much golf, instead of steering our country toward prosperity.
As to violence, he never once changed the 6,000 annual black on black killings in America. But he did create the greatest racial unrest we’ve seen since the 60s. As to violence, he oversaw incredible Muslim violence against Americans here in America by importing millions of Muslims that equated to the Boston Marathon Bombings, Chattanooga, Tennessee killings and on to the San Bernardino massacre.
Along the way, set in motion the importation of 200,000 Muslim Syrian refugees against the will of the majority of the American people, who eventually, if not stopped, those Muslims expect to rain down more terror upon our country. This Muslim president expects to carry out as much violence as possible by seeding our country with his fellow Muslims.
“Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any faith, but to become dominant. The Qur’an should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.” Omar Ahmed, director of Council on American Islamic Relations.
Which leads me to my highest wish for 2016. If you look at presidential candidates on both sides of the aisle, you see the same old tired faces of career corrupt politicians. They lie so much they think it’s normal. Hillary Clinton and Marco Rubio—if either of them carried the White House, you would see zero change of improvement in America. You would see the same old open borders and immigrants flooding into our country by the millions annually. You would see the same old “free trade” killing our middle class Americans by stealing jobs.
You would see endless and cyclical welfare keeping blacks, poor whites and Hispanics subsisting on food stamps rather than the dignity of working a job. You would see Obamacare crashing onto the rocks of bankruptcy.
That’s why my wish lists includes a man who will fundamentally take America back to her successful roots: our U.S. Constitution and the rule of law.
Whether you like him or not, Donald Trump speaks to the America’s future. Not platitudes and bromides! Yes, he’s brash and yes, he gets the job done. He doesn’t blow smoke up your pants like Obama’s “hope and change” idiocy seven years ago that amounted to total incompetence.
“Let’s make America great again” beats anything Obama ever said or did. Let Trump’s ego work for you. He’s a proven leader. He knows how to succeed. When he talks, he follows up with action and results. He’s All-American. I want an American president born in this country by American parents and who grew up in this country—and love America. I want a president who cares about our citizens’ welfare rather than those arriving illegally. I want a president without 13 Muslim aides in the White House working for the overthrow of America.
Obama’s top aide Valerie Jarrett said this in 1977 in the yearbook at Stanford University: “I’m an Iranian by birth and my Islamic faith. I am also an American citizen and I seek to help change America to be a more Islamic country. My faith guides me and I feel like it is going well in the transition of using freedom of religion in America against itself.”
For certain, I want our laws enforced such as arresting, prosecuting and jailing employers of illegal aliens. Take away jobs from illegal aliens and offer then at a living wage to Americans. The illegals will pack up and go home on their own dime without jobs to sustain them illegally in our country. I want new “fair trade” laws that bring manufacturing back to America. I want our kids given quality educations with English as the standard of excellence in the classroom. I want all legal and illegal immigration stopped. I especially want all Muslim immigration stopped so my kids and our neighbors don’t become collateral damage like San Bernardino or Paris, France.
That’s my 2016 wish list. What would you add to it? What do you want for your country? What do you want for your kids?
If you vote the same old career, corrupt politicians into office, you’re going to see the same old results from both sides of the political aisle. Happy New Year 2016.
If you don’t want a Paris, France or San Bernardino event in your community, it’s time to call for a total “Immigration Shutdown Now.”
Call your senators and House rep: 1 202 224 3121. Demand a stop to all immigration and stop to any Syrian immigration.
Definition of slogan: “Immigration Shutdown Now means the American people want a total shutdown on all legal and illegal immigration. That means we want all illegal immigration stopped by arresting, prosecuting and jailing employers of illegal aliens. We deport all illegal aliens by taking their jobs away and as we catch them. We want English mandated as our national language. We demand a cessation of Muslim immigration in order to protect our culture, language and way of life. We can’t save the world but we can destroy our civilization. We demand a stable population that allows everyone to live, work and thrive into the 21st century. Especially our children.” FHW
That’s why you need to take action. Send this series to everyone in your network. Educate them. Urge them to take action by joining these websites to become faxers of prewritten letters and phone callers. We must force Congress into an “Immigration Shutdown Now!

“Is it not a crime to take a perfectly healthy, normal human child, train him or her up as an animal, destroy the special intellectual gifts which God gave that human being, so that he or she will live the life of a stunted mental cripple, unable to enjoy a good book, a philosophical conversation, or a sense of what it means to be a child of God? —Dr. Samuel Blumenfeld 2002
Our Children Do Become What They Are Taught! This is why it is so important to pay attention to what is being FED to our children and who is behind it.
A declassified US intelligence report from the Pentagon that was released earlier this year, reveals that Western support for Syria’s rebels aided and abetted the rise of the ‘Islamic State’. The report included high-level confirmation that the US-led strategy in Syria contributed directly to the rise of the Islamic State (IS).
The document shows that in coordination with the Gulf states and Turkey, the West intentionally sponsored violent Islamist groups to destabilize Assad, and that these “supporting powers” desired the emergence of a “Salafist Principality” in Syria to “isolate the Syrian regime.”
We have not been given a choice in this war – Assad or ISIS!
Despite anticipating that Western, Gulf state and Turkish support for the “Syrian opposition”—which included al-Qaeda in Iraq—could lead to the emergence of an ‘Islamic State’ in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), the document provides no indication of any decision to reverse the policy of support to the Syrian rebels.
Among the batch of documents obtained by Judicial Watch through a federal lawsuit, released earlier this week, a US Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) document then classified as “secret,” is dated 12th August 2012.
Some outlets have reported the US intelligence community’s internal prediction of the rise of ISIS. Yet none have accurately acknowledged the disturbing details exposing how the West knowingly fostered a sectarian, al-Qaeda-driven rebellion in Syria.
Noting that “the Salafist”, the Muslim Brotherhood, and AQI al-Qaeda in Iraq are the major forces driving the insurgency in Syria,” the document states that “the West, Gulf countries, and Turkey support the opposition,” while Russia, China and Iran “support the Assad regime.”
In a section titled ‘The Future Assumptions of the Crisis,’ the DIA report predicts that while Assad’s regime will survive, retaining control over Syrian territory, the crisis will continue to escalate “into proxy war.”
The document also recommends the creation of “safe havens under international sheltering, similar to what transpired in Libya when Benghazi was chosen as the command center for the temporary government.”
According to Brad Hoff, a former US Marine who served during the early years of the Iraq War and as a 9/11 first responder at the Marine Corps Headquarters Battalion in Quantico from 2000 to 2004, the just released Pentagon report for the first time provides stunning affirmation that: “US intelligence predicted the rise of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL or ISIS), but instead of clearly delineating the group as an enemy, the report envisions the terror group as a US strategic asset.”
In the past several weeks 2,000 fighters, 250 vehicles and hundreds of tons of ammo has been sent from Turkey to Islamic terrorists in Syria giving Britain cause to enter the war. US Rep. Tulsi Gabbard’s warning to the American people about the Obama regimes actions said: “Russia’s installation of their anti-aircraft missile-defense system increases that possibility of — whether it’s intentional or even an accidental event — where one side may shoot down the other side’s plane, and that’s really where the potential is for this devastating nuclear war.”
Now Putin has ordered Russia’s Ilyushin-80 giant command and control aircraft designated for use during nuclear war (otherwise known as the “Doomsday plane”) to prepare for worldwide war operations within a fortnight after military intelligence analysts discovered a “beyond staggering” plot by United States and Turkish government factions to bring down Turkey’s President Recep Erdogan and replace him with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) “designated figurehead” Fethullah Gulen—while at the same time utilizing Islamic State terrorists as “leverage”.
As if this information is not enough, another recently released document shows how the CIA is attempting to control the flip of the Turkish government and the Middle East oil while supporting Fethullah Gulen and his Charter schools here in America.
The CIA with full knowledge of who and what Gulen is and the purpose of those schools is in supporting their attempt to rule over Turkey while the Gulen goal is to re-instate the Ottoman Empire while indoctrinating American children to build up their numbers.
WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS AND THE INDOCTRINATION OF OUR CHILDREN!
What is wrong with our parents that they put their children into schools they know nothing about the leaders except it is a “Charter” school. With charters failing at an amazing rate, you would think they would think twice about putting their children in these schools. But, no…..
So what does Putin ordering his Ilyushin-80 giant command and control aircraft designated for use during nuclear war as the “Doomsday plane” to prepare for worldwide war operations have to do with Turkish Gulen Charter schools?
Military intelligence analysts discovered a “beyond staggering” plot by United States and Turkish government factions to bring down Turkey’s President Recep Erdogan and replace him with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) “designated figurehead” Fethullah Gulen—while at the same time utilizing Islamic State terrorists as “leverage”.
This plot to overthrow the current government of Turkey by the CIA was first started in 2008 by the US military-intelligence establishment supported think tank American Enterprise Institute (AEI) whose board members are a “who’s who” of American military connected individuals, including former US Vice President Richard Cheney, and whose research papers advocated the United States creating what they call a “moderate Muslim” majority in the Middle East to battle Islamic extremists and whose target nation for this action was Turkey.
Aiding the CIA in this goal is of course none other than the leader of the Gulen Charter schools who has been hiding in the Pocono Mountains since 1999 – Fethullah Gulen. The CIA will tell you he came here for “health reasons” but in truth he ran from his government and went into exile when he was accused of attempting to undermine Turkey’s secular regime in order to institute an Islamic state. He obtained his long time visa with the help of former CIA officials.
These schools first started appearing the same year Gulen first appeared in 1999 with 17 of the original 165 schools no longer open. Currently, there are 148 Gulen Charter schools operating in the U.S. in 27 different states. Texas (48) and Ohio (17) have the most schools with California and Florida following with 12 and 11 schools respectfully.
Under the leadership of Sheik Mohammad Fethullah Gülen the goal has always been to re-instate the Ottoman Empire by indoctrinating and recruiting American children, especially high school age, to follow their agenda.
In 2013 there was a split between Turkey’s Sunni Muslim Brotherhood Islamist leader, Premier Erdogan and Fethullah Gülen, after Erdogan banned non-state run preparatory schools. Both have the same goal of restoring the Ottoman Empire.
The FBI who has done several investigations of these schools across the country, has resisted in granting permanent residency to Gulen and according to secret leaked cables, parts of the American government have long believed that Gülen “is a ‘radical Islamist’ whose moderate message cloaks a more sinister and radical agenda.”
After years of investigating him the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, due to his guardian angels in the State Department and the CIA, are prevented from bringing an indictment against him, so they try to kick him out of the US. But once again Gulen’s CIA angels step in and portray Gulen as a scholar, despite the fact that Gulen doesn’t even have a high-school diploma and never went beyond the 5th grade.
Ohio state audits of these schools found thousands of public dollars “illegally expended” to finance the U.S. citizenship process for Turkish employees — some fresh out of college with no classroom experience and broken English. Employees are forced to give back a portion of each paycheck to fund the Foundation. – TY CIA!
AND YET GULEN IS ALLOWED TO OBTAIN MILLIONS IN TAXPAYER $$ WITH THE PRIMARY GOAL OF INDOCTRINATING OUR CHILDREN INTO ISLAM!
This report shows that shortly after the CIA got Gulen into the U.S., President Erdogan established in Turkey the Justice and Development Party in 2001 using a moderate Muslim platform to create change throughout the entire Middle East using part of Gulen’s massive wealth estimated to be between $22-50 billion.
Gulen also owns and operates over three hundred Madrasas around the world, including Pakistan, Central Asia, and the Caucasus. While Gulen’s suspicious and secretive Madrasas have been shut down and or restrained in countries such as Russia, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan, based on these governments’ justified suspicions that his schools had more than just education on their agendas, his rapidly and secretively expanding charter school empire here in the US has gone quite unnoticed and unacknowledged by legislators – however the CIA is well aware of what is happening.
The Gulen schools are one of the largest users of the H-1B visa program bringing in teachers from Turkey claiming America does not have intelligent enough teachers in math and science to teach our students.
The CIA coming up with this less than brilliant idea, believed they could use Gulen and abuse the religion in America as a cover to advance their design of global control. This dual arrangement was then brokered by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton between Erdogan and Gulen factions in Turkey to split the illegal oil wealth captured by Islamic State terrorists in Iraq and Syria—and which Hillary Clinton has been paid by Gulen, to both her families foundation and presidential campaign, an estimated $1 million.
To help support its diverse interests, Gulen movement supporters in the U.S. have in recent years begun to donate heavily to numerous political campaigns. Gulenists have also paid for hundreds of Turkish “cultural” trips for members of Congress from both sides of the political aisle.
In 2013, Prime Minister Erdogan discovered the CIA-Gulen plot against himself and Turkey which he publically labeled as an “international conspiracy” vowing revenge on Gulen and threatening Francis Ricciardone, the US ambassador to Turkey, with expulsion.
Fearing their “moderate Muslim” project would be destroyed, the CIA then transferred out of Turkey “selected” military and intelligence officers, before Erdogan could arrest them, to Iraq—and where on 8 April 2013 they declared themselves to be the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL/ISIS/Daesh/Islamic State).
So where does this leave our children with essentially stupid people (CIA) who believed they could use GULEN and they could abuse religion as a cover to advance their design for global control. Gulen has his own agenda and they are not the same.
not welcome and their powerful Shiite militia leaders vowed to kill the moment they set foot on Iraqi soil.
So what can we see as our Muslim president’s goal? We have evidence that over 14K Islamic refugees have vanished from Sweden, but in fact have been transported to the U.S. More than 100 radical Islamic charter schools owned and operated by “King of Madrasas” Gulen in the United States set up by the brainchild of the CIA, a maze of dubious NGO’s—including George Soros’ Center for American Progress NGO which joined with Gulen, and which after this “beyond staggering” plot was discovered this past week caused Putin to label George Soros as threat to national security.
For a clearer picture America, these 14K refugees are to be placed in regions occupied by the Gulen Charter schools. Did our various state governors know of this plot? Why would our legislator’s support this use of our children to Muslim indoctrination?
