Palin' folly

.
Sarah Palin told thousands of tea party activists assembled in the dusty Nevada desert Saturday that Sen. Harry Reid will have to explain his votes when he comes back to his hometown to campaign. Although US has spent billions, it's already bankrupt! It will never be able to pay back those loans, not only the loans from the China and Japanese who can afford it.

Do not be deceived through the false words.For while some cry peace and safety as they give false readings of the times. She will appear as a minister of righteousness, as an angel of light, and she will deceive many. She would seek to deceive even the very elect, but be ye not deceived. The majority of the people won't rise up until their sleep, their comfort, their security is actually threatened!
Then when they do rise, it is to put their stamp of approval on rightism to protect their greed. I suppose they have the same attitude the German church leader, Martin Niemoeller, had when Hitler began to persecute the Jews!--"Well, it's not my problem! The Jews weren't any good to us anyway, so it's not bothering us, and since they're not our religion they deserve it!" But soon he himself was in prison also.

According to an American Cancer Society article, marijuana impairs the immune system. Smoking marijuana regularly (a joint a day) can damage the cells in the bronchial passages which protect the body against inhaled microorganisms and decrease the ability of the immune cells in the lungs to fight off fungi, bacteria, and tumor cells. For patients with already weakened immune systems which often proves fatal in AIDS patients.
. "I would probably legalize it, but I don't think that will happen. The smugglers will then shift gears. Many years ago I met with the head of Egyptian narcotics where users of pot and harder drugs would be monitored and given the best drugs in Egypt. When the border was closed by the Israeli war, it was also closed to the special cannabis coming in from Lebanon. Guess what? Cannabis users were now switching to heroin." Dr. Richard Lyon, notated Urological.
Yet people who have learned from hard experience with drugs will tell you that it's a steppingstone to drugs that are much more powerful and harmful, and that if you want to be safe and not go down that road of sorrow, you will not even take the first step.

Is evolution a religion?

Dear Editor: After Darwin, evolution had its prophets and apostles — spokespeople for the cause like Thomas Huxley, Richard Dawkins and Carl Sagan. It also has its priesthood — scientists who are primarily in, but not limited to, the fields of paleontology, biology, anthropology and geology, and who speak in a mystical language only intelligible to their fellow initiates.

These are they who tell us with all solemnity that evolution is fact and ask us to believe their dictums primarily because they have said it, and they should know, since they have devoted lifetimes to its study and research. When their beliefs are challenged, they commonly resort to ridiculing those who dare to challenge "science." Yet those who believe in creation have no quarrel with science when it is based on fact. Is evolution a religion? The evidence seems to point in that direction. It's a religion of unbelief in God, but nevertheless a faith-based creed.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Posted on March 23, 2010 by One God, One Race, One Aim, One Destiny.


“An eye for an eye” has always been the motto of those who live under the Mosaic Law–injury for injury, injustice for injustice, death for death.

He came to deliver men from the Law and to give them grace and truth and mercy, but those to whom He came rejected Him and the grace and love He bore, preferring their own works, their own righteousness, their own ways instead, and do so unto this very day.

There was love and mercy and forgiveness even under the Mosaic Law, but those who practice it today have focused on justice and judgment rather than mercy and forgiveness, and their justice has become injustice and their judgment has become the slaughter of the innocent and the butchery of the helpless.

Such is the situation in the Mideast today, where the Palestinians suffer at the hands of the Israelis. Though neither side is blameless and some on both sides have shed innocent blood, those to whom He delivered His Law and His Word of old are most guilty. For even His Word of old said “Thou shalt not kill,” but they have created legions of widows and orphans whose cries rise unto Me.

Those who have sown violence and death will also reap it, for whatsoever a man sows, that will he also reap. This is His spiritual law, applicable both to those who sow good and those who sow evil. As surely as they have destroyed, they will suffer destruction.

The houses that they have taken from others shall be left unto them desolate.He suffer long with man. His mercy is from everlasting to everlasting. But He also hear the cries of the oppressed, and His judgments are sure, though they may be long in coming.

Class size



Editor,



Even in modern education we are taught that the ideal school class size is about a dozen, and never more than two dozen at the most.



Even the teachers whose business is education have discovered this through years of experience and we should be able to take a tip from their common sense.



Enormous high schools and mammoth universities have become heartless machines, producing unguided students.



There was more individual attention — much more than in the school.



You just can't produce that kind of product with the massive machinery, mass production and rapid, hasty, impersonal assembly-line type of an operation of our present educational systems. It's impossible.



They have come out in identical molds of dead, lifeless, mindless, leaden robots.

Changes in man's society always come from the bottom, not the top--changes in economics, politics, or religion, or the earth--because the top does not want to change; it always wants to be on the top. But if they try to seal the pot to preserve the status quo, they cannot, and the pot will explode and destroy because of the fire.

Difficult?
by Ted Rudow III,MA ( Tedr77 [at] aol.com )
Tuesday Mar 16th, 2010
The Obama administration has put Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a difficult political spot at home by insisting that the Israeli government halt a plan to build housing units in East Jerusalem. The administration also wants Mr. Netanyahu to commit to substantive negotiations with the Palestinians, after more than a year in which the peace process has been moribund.


World public opinion had also recognised that this was the only solution: That the Palestinians and their rights should be recognised as an independent Palestinian state on the Israeli occupied West Bank of the Jordan. But Mr. Netanyahu has said, "What occupied territories?--That is Israel! We will never give up Jerusalem!"

Protecting people?

President Obama did not dramatically change at all the surveillance policies of his predecessor. This strategy has made it simpler for the US government to spy on every American and millions of others around the world, You would think that eight or nine years now after the 9/11 attacks, the government would have done a better job just getting management over the information it already had.


That's one more example of how laws designed to "protect" the public from crime or terrorism often wind up being usedor rather misusedagainst them, harming them rather than helping them. When petty bureaucrats are given such power over people's lives then they sometimes go hog-wild with it!

Oh, they'd tell you that everything they've done is for a good cause, and in their minds it is. But that still doesn't make it right.

It's a small example of the sort of thing that will be very common just as it was under Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and other tyrants of the past: Give people power over others, but remove or outlaw their religion or morality, and it's much easier to build a repressive, authoritarian society!

While most traditional media reviews of The Hurt Locker were positive, the movie was criticized by some Iraq veterans and embedded reporters for inaccurately portraying wartime conditions. The U.S. military preparing to withdraw all combat troops from Iraq by September.

But how can they justify this war? When people fail to tell to the truth they are apt to become strongly deluded and believe a lie instead. Former President Bush, Vice President Cheney and their crew lied day after day. and the media flooded the U.S and the world with their lies about weapons of mass destruction.

They told lies about Iraq producing atomic bombs and drones that could carry bomb and chemicals all the way to the U.S.. The list of lies goes on and on. It's disgusting that Bush could lie his way into the Iraq war, causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and the deaths of 4.000 American soldiers, and not suffer any consequences for it.

America spends more on its military budget than most of the rest of the nations of the world combined, and yet many Americans would tell you that the U.S. is a peace-loving nation that only goes to war to bring about peace, and that only uses its military to keep the peace. It's like Orwell said: "War is peace" to them. More than that, though, war is profit to many U.S. weapons makers and manufacturers, who make enormous amounts of money selling arms and material not only to the U.S. government but to many others around the world.Health care is not a issue with them!!!!

But the Capitalistic Financiers of Europe: They're all like a whole bunch of panders. They've got a whole lot invested in this America, and they don't want to lose it. So they try to save her so they can save their investments, and they're trying to get the rest of the world to, so they can save her and continue to make a little money on her. She thinks she's their owner, but they're her owner, and unless they rescue her, she'll die; but they're trying to rescue her to save their own investments.So the quicker they cut her loose, the better! It's totally artificial for them to support the dollar!
If they'd just let the dollar sink down to where it belongs, America would sink! But the whole trouble is, they each own too much of a share in the America, and they don't want to lose their investments. The European money boys are left holding her bagful of worstless dollars. If they keep trying to support her, they're going to go bankrupt!

04 March 2010 nowBuzz up!



Allende brought about his peaceful government in Chile by ballot, not bullet. But, you see, both Marx and Lenin taught that you'll never get the rich to give up their riches and share their wealth willingly, therefore you cannot legislate it. You cannot just pass laws to get them to do it, because they won't stand for it.

But the rich will nearly always fight and die for their riches. The rich would rather die than lose their wealth. That's why they fight their wars and send their own sons to die for them! So anyone trying to bring about a peaceful, nonviolent communist or socialist revolution is just wishfully thinking!

They allow the socialists to merely pass laws and vote their riches out of existence! They will use their power and wealth to buy the military and pay them to defend them. This is why so many Fascist takeovers happen This is why Hitler, Mussolini, Franco and many others came to power.

Vultures
by Ted Rudow III,MA ( Tedr77 [at] aol.com )
Wednesday Mar 3rd, 2010
Over the last five years, Britain, the United States and other countries have written off billions of dollars in loans to the world’s poorest countries. But a small group of vulture funds have been trying to divert that money into their own pockets. how vulture funds have been operating there and why Liberia lost a $20 million case against two vulture funds in a British court.



In Britain, lawmakers have voted in favor of a bill to restrict so-called vulture funds—that is, financiers that buy up poor country debts cheaply and then sue for massive profits. The Debt Relief Bill would pave the way for banning private investors from pursuing the world’s poorest countries for debts in British courts.
This is the result of a selfish, greed-driven society. They've hardened their hearts for so long and are so blinded by greed and hypocrisy that they don't even hear the pitiful pleas of these poor suffering ones.
