'Nat'-ural Philosophy: Hail SATANford Hail
February 22, 2008
By Nat Hillard
Satanists of Stanford University, unite! From today forward, we shall no longer lie in the shadows. Standing against the backdrop of White Plaza, an enormous banner reads “may the love of SATAN be with you.” The name “Jesus” has been crossed out, and SATAN has, very cleverly, been placed above it on a new piece of paper.----
A HIDDEN HAND?--SATAN?
The kingdom of darkness is real and is the spiritual source of all opposition to God.
The lord of this diabolical kingdom is the "prince of the air," more commonly known as Satan, or the Devil. With a horde of wicked spirits at his command, he is called the "god of this [fallen] world" ( 2 Corinthians 4:4 ). As this world's ruler, his task is to oppose all of God's efforts to redeem Man. The battlefield here is primarily the human mind. Using a variety of techniques, Satan's strategy is to fill us with lies, to convince us that black is white and evil is good, to justify sin and blind us to our need for a Saviour, to distort our image of God and erase or trivialise our image of Satan, convincing us that he either doesn't exist or that he's a cartoon imp in red pajamas. Put simply, "to blind the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, Who is the image of God, should shine unto them" ( 2 Corinthians 4:4 ).
Given its power over the heart of Man, music is among the most potent of these techniques. And it's worth noting that both the Scriptures and church tradition suggest that music comes quite naturally to Satan, that very possibly, before his fall, he was in charge of music in Heaven. (See Isaiah 14:11 ; Ezekiel 28:13-15 .)
Of course, any style of music can be perverted by evil. Many of the elements this presentation examines are found in other musical forms as well. The reason for our focus on rock is both its unparalleled popularity and the manner in which it has given place to evil. Subtly at first, and then with increasing blatancy as rock's celebrants have been brought under its rhythmic sway, it has become one of the most potent weapons in Satan's arsenal of deception.
Fortunately, Satan's proven tendency for over-achieving has resulted in a blatancy that, when examined by an objective inquirer, can be used to expose the Devil's presence and purposes--hence this presentation.
And one last point before we begin to dust rock music for Satan's fingerprints--2 Corinthians tells us that Satan can transform himself into an angel of light ( 2 Corinthians 11:14 )--that he can, in other words, appear as something beautiful, even Christ-like. Don't be fooled! Satan doesn't just manifest his power through a Hitler or a Charles Manson. He can use your favourite guitarist, a pretty pop singer, maybe even you! Anyone who resists the will of God is fertile soil for his seeds of deception.
Satan had a great deal of control over Mankind until Jesus. On the cross, Jesus' thorn-torn brow and pierced body provided the perfect blood sacrifice for our sins. Now Satan's once mighty power is broken over anyone who believes on that blood, in Jesus and His sacrifice for us. It's no wonder Satan hates it. Can we find this demonic hatred in rock music? Sadly, yes.

Editorial: Time to change on Cuba
Wednesday, February 20, 2008
Restrictions and oppression.Castro has done both good and evil, both godly and ungodly things, and in his old age he seeks to make amends and to do better before he passes on. Cuba desires and needs a Latin government, one that will allows Cuba to flourish and grow, while keeping evil and iniquity under control and in check. He has done much good for them, because he cares for them and wishes to see them prosper and do well. Many of the people chafe under the unnecessary restrictions and oppression. They do not need American-style democracy imposed upon them, but they do need more freedom. America fought him over the decades, and he vowed he would not change or give up, and he became rigid. But the world around him changed and Cuba changed, and his rigidity and inflexibility that once kept and preserved his people now works against them. But he nears the end of his days and Cuba too will change. Castro has become an has been, for he has grown set in his ways over the years, sometimes out of necessity.

It's starting to become like Eastern Europe used to be in the days of the Soviet Union, when there were police informants all over the place, people who were recruited to inform the authorities about anything suspicious so it could be checked out.
Except nowadays governments are recruiting their entire populations to keep an eye out for anyone suspicious!
It hasn't gotten as bad as the Soviet Union was, of course, but it has had an effect on people and on society as a whole. There's more fear, less tolerance for differences, and certainly less tolerance for people who might appear to be "difference"
If it suits their purposes, governments don't have to wait for terrorists to come along to create "incidents," you know. Hitler certainly didn't, when he wanted to seize more power in Germany. He and his officers arranged for some people to set fire to the German parliament building, and then he blamed it on the communists. Not long afterwards, new laws were passed "for the Protection of the People and the State," new crackdowns were enacted, and Hitler's dictatorship was well on the way. So it wouldn't be the first time that a government used terrorism as a pretext!

You're Not Special: An ode to Hennessy
February 20, 2008
By Rahul Kanakia
... "What changes minds is real sacrifice. Getting clubbed by policemen who then throw you in jail while you’re still bleeding. Or fleeing to Canada, never knowing if you will return to the country of your birth. Non-violent protest is not passive. It involves people radically changing their lives for something they passionately believe. Generally all that happens is a couple gatherings in White Plaza between classes. And even when something a bit more spectacular, like a hunger strike, happens, it’s brief and easy to ignore. All this protesting is lame — and everyone knows it’s lame — and that’s why you never get anywhere."

Politicians play on people’s fear of terrorism
Editor,
Everyone was under observation in Orwell’s 1984, being watched at any time, and that’s how it’s becoming in many big cities around the world — and little ones as well. The fear of criminals or terrorists has infected society after society, and instead of teaching their citizens right from wrong or providing enough money and jobs for them so that they don’t have to turn to crime, they’re investing in surveillance equipment instead, so they can catch them when they do wrong.
It’s a culture of fear. Americans are afraid of terrorists or terrorism, and their government plays on those fears. In fact, it manipulates their fears, and even works to heighten them. That’s what helps to keep politicians in office: “Vote for me, because I can protect you. My opponent, on the other hand, is soft on terrorism.” And many people just don’t realize that they’re being bamboozled — that they’re giving up their money, their freedom, their privacy, their rights, to protect them from a threat that’s less likely to strike them than a bolt of lightning.

What goes up,must come down
Editor,
All great societies pass this way eventually, running up unsustainable debts and printing (or minting) currency in an increasingly desperate attempt to maintain the illusion of prosperity. And all, eventually, find themselves between the proverbial devil and deep blue sea: Either they simply collapse under the weight of their accumulated debt, as did the U.S. and Europe in the 1930s, or they keep running the printing presses until their currencies become worthless and their economies fall into chaos.
This is a big blow to the money men, the rich stock investors in New York and the U.S.A. and around the world. It starts with the U.S., then it sort of dominoes. How it will go this time, of course, nobody knows except the Lord, but we know there’s going to be a Crash, and a worldwide Crash, and this could be the beginning of the real crash.
How long can they stand that? And the U.S. itself has the biggest deficit it has ever had, amounting to nearly $5,132,265,067,831.71 current debt held by the public and Intragovernmental Holdings $4,105,743,221,110.40, total public debt outstanding of $9,238,008,288,942.11. Dollars that the United States owes and can’t pay. There has to come a day of reckoning, and it looks like it’s about to come.

Clemens
Sunday, February 17, 2008
They are hypocritical
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has acknowledged using steroids during his years as a champion body builder, said he doesn't regret using the performance-enhancing drugs. Schwarzenegger has acknowledged taking steroids, but pointed out that they were legal at the time. With such violent films as "The Terminator" (1984), he delivers the oft-quoted, straight-faced line "I'll be back" to a desk clerk and now he used that line in his speeches! Horrible!
Another case, that because of Clemens' friendship with President George W. Bush's father, former President George H.W. Bush, some predicted the pitcher will be pardoned should Clemens be indicted or convicted of anything related to the hearing.
They are hypocrite pretending to be everybody's friend and nobody's enemy, when in their hearts they know exactly where they stand, and which way they'll go when the showdown comes, as many Republican leaders have. It's the spirit of competition and pride, proving you're better than the other guy. So they take steriods! But the world just loves it!

The future of the vice presidency
February 13, 2008
By Editorial Board
"The United States has never had, and possibly will never have again, a vice president as powerful as Dick Cheney. Perhaps he will only be remembered by political scientists and White House history buffs, but remembered he will be. Now as Cheney serves his last year in office, it is time to analyze the mark he has left on the White House. ------
Ted Rudow III,MA
America is too far gone for that now, especially for the types of Christians who seek to become vice-president of that nation. The Lord advised His followers that 'No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please Him who hath chosen him to be a soldier' (2 Timothy 2:4). Those who would reach such a lofty office in the eyes of the world have entangled themselves deeply in the affairs of this world, and have separated themselves from Him.
Those who are elected to this office that is so highly esteemed among men have few choices left to them. They are prisoners of the compromises they have made to attain the office, prisoners of their advisers and counselors, prisoners of the policies of their party and the values of their nation. They are heavily influenced by Superdelegate as well and will bow down to their will!

Corporations run the show
I voted for Sen. Barack Obama. But there is another side to the story.In the U.S., we know that the two final presidential candidates, Republican and Democrat alike, are going to each have to raise something like half a billion dollars. And that’s not going to come from us. Primarily that’s going to come from the people who own and run our big corporations. So the G8 is this group of countries that represent the biggest multinational corporations in the world and really serve at their behest.It doesn’t really matter whether we have a Democrat or a Republican in the White House or running Congress; the empire goes on, because it’s really run by what I call the corporatocracy, which is a group of men who run our biggest corporations. They really are the equivalent of the emperor, because they do not serve at the wish of the people, they’re not democratically elected, they don’t serve any limited term. They essentially answer to no one, except their own boards. They are the power behind this. Today, corporations exist for the primary purpose of making large profits, making a few very rich people a lot richer. That shouldn’t be.

Stu's Views: Hillary Clinton for president?
February 5, 2008
By Stuart Baimel
"Clinton, compared to Obama, has shown herself to be far humbler(?) in her ambitions for the presidency, focusing on solutions and results rather than grand, gauzy rhetoric.--The American people will find a Hillary Clinton presidency to be humble(?) and bipartisan, much like her seven and a half years in the Senate. -------

Obama for president: It's no 'fairy tale'
Abstract:
He stands tall and proud on podiums during state primaries and caucuses, both in victory and defeat.
His ebullient smile and flaming confidence are invariable constants, despite the oppositions, despite the setbacks and despite America's critical wariness in envisioning him sitting in the Oval Office....

Stu's Views: Hillary Clinton for president?
February 5, 2008
By Stuart Baimel
"Clinton, compared to Obama, has shown herself to be far humbler(?) in her ambitions for the presidency, focusing on solutions and results rather than grand, gauzy rhetoric.--The American people will find a Hillary Clinton presidency to be humble(?) and bipartisan, much like her seven and a half years in the Senate. -------

Obama for president: It's no 'fairy tale'
Abstract:
He stands tall and proud on podiums during state primaries and caucuses, both in victory and defeat.
His ebullient smile and flaming confidence are invariable constants, despite the oppositions, despite the setbacks and despite America's critical wariness in envisioning him sitting in the Oval Office....

U.S. can't sustain
deficit indefinitely
All great societies pass this way eventually, running up unsustainable debts and printing (or minting) currency in an increasingly desperate attempt to maintain the illusion of prosperity. They simply collapse under the weight of their accumulated debt, as did the United States and Europe in the 1930s, or they keep running the printing presses until their currencies become worthless and their economies fall into chaos. The United States has the biggest deficit it has ever had, amounting to nearly $9.2 trillion. There has to come a day of reckoning, and it looks like it's about to come.

"We must trust Americans with the responsibility of homeownership and empower them to weather turbulent times in housing market. My administration brought together the Hope Now Alliance which is helping many struggling homeowners avoid foreclosure. And Congress can help even more." Bush
"We actually saw a remarkable surge in the proportion of Americas low income families who became homeowners in the last 10 years or so. And I expect were going to see their equity almost completely wiped out, which would be a terrible tragedy for them. There's something like 2 million households going into foreclosure.

Editorial: Bush's speech unintentionally captures reality

Changes
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. There must be this continual change; otherwise there would be stagnation. There must be this constant circulation or there would be total stagnation and corruption, because that which is at the top is the first to ferment, to sour, to rot, and that which is on the bottom is full of dregs, which if allowed to accumulate would solidify and clot the circulatory process, and that which is on the top would become scum and froth and, as in the brewing of a good beverage, it must be constantly stirred to prevent the settling of the dregs or the accumulation of scum, and to insure the equal distribution of all properties concerned, there must be constant change and constant stirring and constant circulation to prevent stagnation--either by fire or by sword.

Hitchens knocks intelligent design
Atheist debates creation advocate Jay Richards in Dinkelspiel Auditorium
January 28, 2008
By Shelby Martin
During an animated debate yesterday in a packed Dinkelspiel Auditorium, atheist Christopher Hitchens and intelligent design advocate Jay Richards clashed over the evidence for God’s existence.
“Many people are deeply religious,” he said. “Are they just stupider than you?”“I think I am smarter than most people(?),” Hitchens said, but he added that religion plays an important part in human history.“Religion was our first try at philosophy, it was our first try at epistemology. It’s what we came up with when we didn’t know we lived on a round planet circling the sun.”The event was broadcast by the Church Communication Network to churches around the country. Listeners could send questions via fax or email, and audience members at Stanford could turn in written questions to be answered by the debaters.Richards stated that just as the designers of Mt. Rushmore made the monument very different from the hills around it, “intelligent agents leave markers for their design.”“The existence of a creator God is something we can discern from the world around us,” he concluded.
Hitchens disagreed."
There is no proof for evolution. It has to be believed, therefore it's a faith, therefore it's a religion! So they're teaching a new compulsory religion in today's hallowed halls of higher learning.
Even the great high priest and founding father of this new false faith, Charles Darwin himself, confessed that "the belief (note the emphasis on belief) in natural selection (evolution) must at present be grounded entirely on general considerations.
Does biological evolution exist? The surprising answer is yes! However, the type of evolution that is evident is not the evolution that is so commonly taught as fact today.There are two categories of evolution: One is called microevolution and the other macroevolution. Microevolution happens within species, when small adaptations either take place to accommodate environment or are brought about by breeding. Macroevolution is the idea that one species evolves into another, the commonly understood theory of evolution. This second type of evolution has never been observed to occur.

Despite their treatment, many Palestinians are simply trying to get by and to survive, but there are those who respond to violence with violence. There is terrorism on both sides. Yet it is Palestinian children who have suffered the most, endured the most hardship and pain, undergone the most torment of body and spirit. Recognition of Israel and acceptance of previous agreements and obligations such as United Nations Resolution 242 could solve the problem.

Tentative Deal Reached on Stimulus Plan
Back to Article »
January 24th, 2008 1:37 pmLink
It's a time of reflection for many in the selfish western world but also the towers of democracy and of the free world. They have only begun to witness the great destruction that will fall upon them.
The economies will fall now. They will come up for a few more gasps of air, but this has been the fatal blow that will bring them down. There's still a little time left in which the economies will float above the crisis, but not for long. It's more as I said--they will be surfacing for gasps of air, but then submerging again, much as a drowning man who goes down longer and longer after each desperate gasp at the surface, until he surfaces no more.
Why you say? How else were they going to get the world to fall into their hands and beg for more restrictions that will keep them safe--but at the same time drive them deeper into the web of bondage that the Big-Business billonaire boys whose multi-billionaire corporations are booming because of these economic policies now have spun for them?

How else were they going to get the world to fall into their hands and beg for more restrictions that will keep them safe--but at the same time drive them deeper into the web of bondage that the Big-Business billonaire boys whose multi-billionaire corporations are booming because of these economic policies now have spun for them?

Editorial: Economy requires long-term and short-term fixes?
Both quick stimulus, financial reforms are needed to deal with current downturn

Crash
It's a time of reflection for many in the selfish western world but also the towers of democracy and of the free world. They have only begun to witness the great destruction that will fall upon them.
The economies will fall now. They will come up for a few more gasps of air, but this has been the fatal blow that will bring them down. There's still a little time left in which the economies will float above the crisis, but not for long. It's more as I said--they will be surfacing for gasps of air, but then submerging again, much as a drowning man who goes down longer and longer after each desperate gasp at the surface, until he surfaces no more.

Students Illustrated: Deserving to be apathetic?
January 21, 2008

Ted Rudow III,MA
One can see what American presidential politics has become, even American politics as a whole: You’re allowed to vote for the candidates chosen by big business, those who will implement policies favorable to them, whether it’s in the public interest or not. Is it any wonder that many Americans are now choosing to vote for “none of the above?”
But if they really wanted to change things, they always could. If they’re not happy with the candidates who are chosen for them, they could always choose their own and vote for them, and “throw the [present] rascals out,” as they used to say.
People don’t do so because they’ve just sunk down into lethargy. It’s too much work, too much trouble, too much expense and too big a fight against big business, big media and big polls that predict such independent candidates “don’t have a chance.”

Witchcraft

"President Bush, who will go down in history as the great tax cutter, owes almost all of his fortune to a tax increase that was funneled into his pocket.
What happened is, an oil man named Eddie Chiles wanted to sell his money-losing Texas Rangers baseball team. So George Bush put together a group of very wealthy investors to buy the team. He put up himself $600,000 of borrowed money. The partners then gave him a 10 percent stake as the managing partner.Then they held a special election in January of the year in question to increase the sales tax in the town of Arlington, Texas, by one half-cent. That money was used to build a new baseball stadium. It’s an incredibly nice baseball stadium.--
The value of this subsidy, according to Ray Hutchison, who is the husband of Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, is a prominent Republican insider in Texas and is the leading authority on municipal bond finance in Texas, was $202.5 million. The profit that President Bush and his partners made when they sold the team was $164 million. What does that tell you? Every single penny of additional money President Bush got from that investment, his gain, came from the taxpayers. He did not add one cent to the value of that team through his skill as an MBA manager. This gets repeated all over the country.----But because it was coveted by President Bush and his friends, and they were unwilling to go into the market and buy it through market economics. So the government seized this land."
David Cay Johnston, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist.
A perfect picture of the certain self-destruction of corrupt Capitalism by its own selfish weakness and rottenness and cruelty, as predicted by both Marx and the Bible! So there you have it, in the plain Words of Scripture, especially in Revelation 17 and 18!--Read it! And even so shall be her own destruction!For thy merchants were the great men of the Earth, and by thy sorceries (the deceitfulness of riches and the witchcraft of wealth!) were all nations deceived! (American affluence is the dream of every country the world over, and her luxuries, sins and violence, from her music to her crimes, are imitated by nations around the world!

Palestine children
by Ted Rudow III,MA ( Tedr77 [at] aol.com )
Sunday Jan 20th, 2008 10:05 AM
United Nations officials implored Israel to reverse its decision Friday to seal all border crossings with the Gaza Strip, warning that the violence in the region and cutoff of crucial supplies for 1.4 million Palestinians was provoking a humanitarian crisis.
The Defense Ministry closed all border crossings with Gaza on Friday and prevented the delivery of a United Nations aid shipment. Only humanitarian cases given Defense Minister Ehud Barak`s personal approval would be allowed through, the ministry said. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said. `If this situation endures, the closure will also cause further shortages of food, medical and relief items in the Gaza Strip.`
Despite their treatment, many of the Palestinians simply try to get by, to survive, but there are those who respond to violence with violence. There is terrorism on both sides. Yet it is Palestinian children who have suffered the most, endured the most hardship and pain, and undergone the most torment of body and spirit. Recognition of Israel, and acceptance of previous agreements and obligations( UN 242) could solve the problem!

President Bush used his speech in Abu Dhabi on Sunday to reiterate many of the same accusations about Iran that we have heard him throw around. Bush is entitled to his warped opinions about Iran, but his message would have been better-suited for delivery to his deluded cronies in the White House than to his wiser allies in the Gulf.
The average American might be fooled by Bush’s latest attempt to lump al-Qaida, “freedom-haters,” Hamas, Hezbollah, the Taliban, Iraqi insurgents and Iran into the same lot, but the people of this region have a much better understanding of these phenomenons and forces. They fortunately also have a better sense of the real root causes of the region’s challenges, as well as the required solutions. Thus, the Iranian people can rest easily knowing that Gulf Arab leaders will respond wisely to Bush’s latest attempt to stir up mischief.
About the only friends Bush seems to have left are the big-business billionaire boys whose multibillion-dollar corporations are booming because of his economic policies.

"US plays up, Iran plays down naval incident in Gulf"
January 8, 2008
They're so ignorant of the rest of the world, the last thing they need to be doing is meddling in Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq and the Middle East. As the old saying goes, "power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." When it does, then things can get pretty nasty. America's trying to remake the world in its own image with its own form of government, but different peoples and nations simply need different forms of government. We need to get our own house in order!

Huckabee deceived electors
Editor,
Mike Huckabee, a preacher turned politician, handily defeated Mitt Romney despite being outspent by tens of millions of dollars and deciding in the campaign’s final days to scrap television commercials that would have assailed the former Massachusetts governor.
“No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this World, that he may please Him Who hath called him to be a soldier!” (2 Timothy 2:4) Then came the illustration where Lot had become a judge in Sodom, which means a politician or a ruler there, and by being there he was actually hindering the Will of God in trying to save Sodom.
“God told him to be a soldier of the Lord, to win souls and not to save their bodies and their self-indulgent, rich, luxurious lives which have so little and no concern for the billions of poor of the World! Talk about the very elect being deceived” (Matthew 24:24).
Oh, they are so deceived. It obviously is possible. It’s as though the Lord is amazed and astonished that the elect could be so deceived, that it is possible for the elect to be so deceived. Why did the Lord give so many warnings about false christs and false prophets if it were not possible for the elect to be deceived? — When they are obviously so deceived.

"Iowa is an overwhelmingly white state with fiercely liberal Democrats and socially conservative Republicans. New Hampshire — whose state motto is, famously, “Live Free or Die” — is a haven for independents who are rabidly antitax. Another early primary state, South Carolina, has a higher percentage of black voters than most other states in the Union.Our electoral system has its flaws, to be sure, but with such an eclectic mix of states involved in the early primary season, the American people should be comforted to know that a wide array of voters are making informed decisions this month."

Is it any wonder that many Americans are now choosing to vote for "none of the above"?
But if they really wanted to change things, they always could. If they're not happy with the candidates that are chosen for them, they could always choose their own and vote for them, and "throw the [present] rascals out," as they used to say. People don't do so because they've just sunk down into lethargy. It's too much work, too much trouble, too much expense, and too big a fight against big business, big media, and big polls that predict such independent candidates "don't have a chance."

Five Iranian boats made aggressive maneuvers and showed hostile intent toward three US Navy ships at the weekend in the Strait of Hormuz, a major oil shipping route in the Gulf, the Pentagon said on Monday.
The Pentagon said the incident was serious. It described the Iranian actions as "careless, reckless and potentially hostile" and said Tehran should provide an explanation. Iran played down the incident between the two naval forces, describing the event as an "ordinary occurrence" that ended without any disturbance.
They’re so ignorant of the rest of the world, the last thing they need to be doing is meddling in Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq and the Mideast. As the old saying goes, “Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” When it does, then things can get pretty nasty.
America’s trying to remake the world in its own image with its own form of government, but different peoples and nations simply need different forms of government. We need to get our own house in order!

Huckabee
Huckabee, a preacher turned politician, handily defeated Mitt Romney despite being outspent by tens of millions of dollars and deciding in the campaign's final days to scrap television commercials that would have assailed the former Massachusetts governor. "No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this World, that he may please Him Who hath called him to be a soldier!" ( 2Tim.2:4 ) Then came the illustration where Lot had become a judge in Sodom, which means a politician or a ruler there, and by being there he was actually hindering the Will of God in trying to save Sodom! God told him to be a soldier of the Lord, to win souls and not to save their bodies and their self-indulgent, rich, luxurious lives which have so little and no concern for the billions of poor of the World!Talk about the very elect being deceived! ( Mat. 24:24 )

Corporate greed sets tone
The more “democratic” a nation is, the closer the rich and the powerful can work together, the greater the pickings and booty available, and the fewer controls there are on their actions. The rich can grow richer and the poor can grow poorer because, after all, the rich think it’s the survival of the fittest. It’s corporate greed that has set this ugly tone.

Bhutto's slaying reflects on U.S. policy
Sunday, December 30, 2007
The rich
The US is reviewing its aid to Pakistan - about $10 billion in overt funding since 2001. Yet the Bush administration may push for continuing military aid for the Pakistani Army's counterinsurgency operations, says analyst Steve Coll of the New America Foundation. President Bush is nothing but the front man for the rich to keep control. He started out as their puppet, but puppets have a funny way of getting out of hand. So something very strange is happening in the world right now! This is why so many fascist takeovers happen. This is why Hitler, Mussolini, Franco and many others came to power. The rich are clever organizers who know how to engineer a military coup as the US did in Chile, Argentina, Central America and Venezuela.

Thus corporeal greed set the tone. When it comes to getting their way, while they criticize other world leaders who commit similar crimes. They have to account for their actions, or their war crimes, no matter how they may try to justify them.

Cal Thomas: Gore's cult of global alarmism
Wednesday, December 26, 2007
Fear As I've often said in the past, one of the Enemy's principal weapons has always been fear. If he can terrify men and women and put them in fear of their lives, then as he said in the book of Job, "Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life" (Job 2:4). When the men and women of the world fear catastrophe, they generally look to their governments to save them rather than the Lord, sad to say. So what happens? Governments gain more control and power, the rich and the powerful grow even more rich and powerful, and the Enemy's plan of strengthening the very institutions he'll someday use for ultimate power and control under his One World government is.

True Peace
To the Editor:
Although peace has been the goal of mankind for thousands of years - and the desire for peace is never so great as it is at Christmas - it seems that our ability to find or establish peace continues to elude us.
Today, after the end of the Cold War, bloody hostilities continue on nearly every continent, reaching global proportions once again after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 in New York City, Washington, D.C., and near Pittsburgh. As Pete Seeger's well-known folk song from the '60s asked, "Where have all the flowers gone? ... When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?"
True peace on every level - from international conflicts to our personal lives - has become more difficult than ever to achieve.
"And in Bethlehem today, children fear, yet still they play
While mothers cry and fathers pray for peace to come again.
And a round the weary world echoes the refrain:
'Christmas in Bethlehem, when shall true love reign?'
One day soon the Prince of Love, will return from skies above, and His pow'r shall overcome all pain and tears and war. Then shall songs of joy and praise ring out from shore to shore.
Christmas in Bethlehem, peace on Earth once more.
Christmas in Bethlehem, peace on Earth once more."

Grim past, dim future for Iraqi exiles in Syria
Saturday, December 15, 2007
Death of countless
Iraqi physicians, overseen by epidemiologists at Johns Hopkins University's Bloomberg School of Public Health, published a study last year in the British medical journal The Lancet. The study estimated that 655,000 more people than normal have died in Iraq since coalition forces invaded the country in March 2003. This is more than 20 times the estimate of 30,000 civilian deaths that President Bush gave in a speech last December.
In a statement released on Thursday, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) criticized the Israeli closure and occupation of Palestinian land, which has left hospitals unable to treat the sick and injured, and has left farmers unable to work their land.
The Red Cross called on Israel to `lift the retaliatory measures which are paralyzing life in Gaza`, and to stop targeting the civilian population.
But it's those who sent them to war in the first place for whom the greatest chastisements and judgments of God are reserved those who caused the death of countless innocents, the making of scores of widows and orphans, the breaking of hearts and bodies, those whose hands are red with the blood of those they've caused to die through sanctions, disease, malnutrition, bombs, and other weapons of war.

Hypocritical friendship
Editor,
King George departed even before the tumult had died. His helicopter carried him away over the horizon, just as his trusty steed carries the cowboy into the sunset at the end of the movie. At that moment, the speeches in the assembly hall were still going ahead at full blast. Even if Bush wanted to, could he do anything? Is he capable of putting pressure on Israel, in the face of vigorous opposition from the pro-Israel lobby, and especially from the Christian-Evangelist public, to which he himself belongs? Bush is a hypocrite pretending to be everybody’s friend and nobody’s enemy, when in their hearts they know exactly where they stand, and which way they’ll go when the showdown comes, as many Republican leaders have. May God damn it for its subtle treacherous “neutrality” with the world--pretending to be a friend of both God and the world at the same time.

The power of Arab oil
by Ted Rudow III,MA ( Tedr77Q [at] aol.com )
Monday Dec 10th, 2007
Gadhafi's son Seif al-Islam said the visit, the veteran leader's first to France since 1973, would celebrate "the new relations" between the two countries. The invitation from Paris came after the release of Bulgarian medics imprisoned in Libya on charges of infecting children with HIV/AIDS.
Sarkozy visited Tripoli immediately afterward, overseeing the signing of arms sales and an accord to build a nuclear plant for water desalination, and underscoring Libya's return to respectability after years of isolation.
"Libya is not a small insignificant country. A major player on the oil market, at the crossroads between the Arab and African world, threatened by the advance of Islamism, Tripoli plays a vital role for stability in a part of the world where we have vital interests," the newspaper said. "There is no shame in recognizing that and defending our interests with realism," it added.
The power of Arab oil in contrast to the oil-starved nations of the capitalistic West! The U.S. alone, though it has only eight percent of the world's population, uses 40% of the world's oil, and her rate of use is increasing by nearly ten percent a year, much of which she imports from the Arabs. Europe, too, imports over two-thirds of her oil from the Arabs and uses a large portion of the world's total, and the under-developed Arab states are absolutely oil rich! In fact, Arab oil is making the Arabs one of the richest and most powerful forces on Earth with her hands throttling the throat of an oil-thirsty world!

Iran's 25,000-strong Jewish community
Ted Rudow III,MA (Tedr77@aol.com)
"The central committee of Iran's 25,000-strong Jewish community, which has in the past expressed unease over Ahmadinejad's stance on the Holocaust, added its voice to the condemnation of his hostile reception in New York, Iranian Jews strongly condemn such impoliteness and willfulness, as such behavior has targeted Iran's president who legally represents Iranians," it said in a statement.
On the another hand, AIPAC, or the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, describes itself as the most important organization affecting the U.S. relationship with Israel. With a budget of $65 million, and membership now standing at over 100,000, it is no wonder that congressional staffers consider it one of the most powerful and effective lobbies on Capitol Hill. Including AIPAC's support for U.S. military aid to Israel, which amounts to over $3 billion per year.
"It is widely acknowledged that the reps and senators are ticked at AIPAC, and their hostility seems to be growing these days. With upwards of 60% of their campaign contributions coming directly or indirectly from the Israel Lobby, the Democratic congressmen are not free to respond to their antiwar base." John Walsh. Some Muslims see a new Crusade in the making, waged jointly by the Jewish Israelis and the Christian Americans.

Some Muslims see a new Crusade in the making, waged jointly by the Jewish Israelis and the Christian Americans.

Bush’s totalitarian undercurrents is obvious
Editor,
“Pinochet, when he was overthrowing the Democratic government of Chile, told Chilean citizens that there was going to be a terrible terrorist attack, with armed insurgents. Now there were real insurgents, there was a real threat, but then he produces what he called Plan Z, which were fake papers claiming that these terrorists were going to assassinate all these military leaders at once,” Naomi Wolf said.
Most Americans reject outright any comparisons of post-9/11 America with the fascism and totalitarianism of Nazi Germany or Pinochet’s Chile. Instead they turn to Bush, as a compromise candidate, a little more palatable neo-fascist. In other words, they knew they had in Bush the man that he is, he would go to military rule. He’s a great pretender, a real ham actor, and he’s making the public think he’s a great humanitarian and a great democratic leader protecting the people. Which is the opposite of what he is.

John R. Bolton: The flaws in the NIE's 'key judgments' on Iran
Friday, December 7, 2007
Ike
The conclusions of the new assessment are likely to be a major factor in the tense international negotiations aimed at getting Iran to halt its nuclear energy program. Concerns about Iran were raised sharply after President Bush had suggested in October that a nuclear-armed Iran could lead to World War III,and Vice President Dick Cheney promised serious consequences if the government in Tehran did not abandon its nuclear program. Finally, it should be noted that those who benefit from war or the threat of war are many more than just the old military-industrial complex that former President Eisenhower warned about. Indeed, remember that most of the uniformed military opposed the attack on Iraq. It was pro-war neocon civilians who took over Pentagon policymaking positions. It's the same drumbeat to war that Ike warned about!

A new assessment by American intelligence agencies concludes that Iran halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003 and that the program remains on hold, contradicting an assessment two years ago that Tehran was working inexorably toward building a bomb.

"Syria agrees to attend regional peace summit at Annapolis"
November 26, 2007
The United States is like Israel, and Israel is like the United States. Like Israel, the US also sees the world through an Old Testament perspective, with itself, rather than God, as the protector of physical Israel. It too believes in "an eye for an eye," or many eyes for each American eye, and sees those who would challenge it and its partner Israel as the enemies of God.
So Israel and the US are birds of a feather that flock together, and they consider themselves eagles while many other nations of the world see them as vultures.

The first days of Christmas skate into downtown
Abstract:
The sights and smells of the holiday season are in the air, and downtown San Jose has once again created a holiday atmosphere.
Downtown San Jose has transformed into a Winter Wonderland. Students can choose to go to the circle of palms ice rink, a gift market and Christmas in the Park on Park Avenue and Paseo de San Antonio Street to entertain themselves....

Many places today have gotten to where they have just about completely elimInated Jesus from Christmas. All it is a tree and decorations and Santa Claus and presents and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Jingle Bells!
In other words, to take Christ out of Christmas. In some cities, all you ever see are signs of "Xmas Holidays", "Xmas Sale!", "Xmas Shopping!", "Xmas, Xmas, Xmas!" They wouldn't think of putting up "Christmas"--that's the name of Jesus Christ!
And of course, they've got a new god called Santa Claus--who is really the big department store! One of the horrible horrors of it is, that when they teach their children about Santa Claus, and then they start teaching them about Jesus--the truth and the real story and meaning of Christmas--the poor kids think, "Oh, this is just another stupid idiotic fairly tale like the one you told me about Santa Claus!"

Editorial: Victory for science
November 27, 2007
By Editorial Board
"Stem cell research has arrived at a new crossroads. While relevant in the U.S. to research institutions such as Stanford, the end of the ethical debate is secondary to the new scientific potential of stem cell research. Nuclear reprogramming will allow scientists to easily furbish stem cells, which could result in organ replacements without the fear of rejection and the cure to such diseases as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. Scientists, now able to focus on their specialty, may find another debate on their hands: who should receive federal funding to advance this highly promising new generation of stem cell research? Stanford, with its resources and human capital, appears well poised and as likely a recipient as any."

What is more valuable human rights or animal rights? An unborn eagle or an unborn child? If you chose the unborn child, sorry you are wrong--at least accounting to the law of the land. U.S Code Title 16 section 668, the eagle takes precedence. A person who kills, damgages,tranports a bald eagle, its egg, or nest is subject to a fine of up to $5,000 or imprisonment for up one year or both(first offense).Whereas, not only is there no penalty for aborting an unborn child?
A mass massacre of babies is going on in the U.S. today, not to mention Europe, the Soviet Union and many other places. One-and-a-half million abortions a year are performed in the U.S. alone, and it's estimated that one out of every four pregnancies ends in abortion! What a horrible slaughter!!
I don't think I've ever seen a sign saying "Save the Babies," have you? I've seen "Stop the Killings!" and things like that. They're always saying, "Save the Whales," "Save the Otters," "Save the Alligators," "Save the Wolves," and they're not even saving their own babies--human beings!
The Americans alone are now killing more babies every year than have been killed in all their wars that they have ever fought! What's the difference between killing babies before they're born or killing them after they are born. The almanac says that from the American Revolutionary War to the present, only 1.2 million Americans have died in battle, and they're killing 1.5 million babies every year!--Imagine!

Behold the black horse
“And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, ‘Come and see.’ And I beheld, and to a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, ‘A measure of wheat for a penny; and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine’” (Revelation 6:5-6 KJV.).
This black horse’s rider with the pair of balances in his hand symbolizes the rich capitalists who have a major impact on world conditions through their manipulation of national economies. Only one other verse in the Bible pictures a man with balances or scales: “The merchant uses dishonest scales; he loves to defraud” (Hosea 12:7 NIV).
Another prophet, Amos, also said the merchants — the wealthy capitalists of his day who were robbing the poor instead of helping them — “set forth wheat, making the ephah [unit of measure] small, and the shekel [price] great and falsifying the balances by deceit ... that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail” (Amos 8:4-6 KJV).
The black horse, then, represents famine and poverty perpetrated by the rich who refuse to share with those in need. Oil and wine, throughout the Scriptures, symbolize abundance or luxury.
The fact that the oil and wine were “hurt not” indicates a situation where wealth and luxury exist alongside famine and poverty — and the gulf between rich and poor is only growing.

Making monkeys out of us?
There is no proof for evolution. It has to be believed. Therefore it’s a faith, therefore it’s a religion! So they’re teaching a new compulsory religion in today’s hallowed halls of higher learning. Even the great high priest and founding father of this new false faith, Charles Darwin himself, confessed that “the belief — note the emphasis on belief — in natural selection — evolution — must at present be grounded entirely on general considerations.
Does biological evolution exist? The surprising answer is yes! However, the type of evolution that is evident is not the evolution that is so commonly taught as fact today.
There are two categories of evolution: One is called microevolution and the other macroevolution. Microevolution happens within species, when small adaptations either take place to accommodate environment or are brought about by breeding. Macroevolution is the idea that one species evolves into another, the commonly understood theory of evolution. This second type of evolution has never been observed to occur.
Once I was a tadpole long and thin, then I was a baboon with my tail tucked in, then I was a monkey in a tropical tree and now I am a professor with a college degree. Did Charley make a monkey out of you?

Stanley Crouch: Bonds' spot in hall of cheaters
Saturday, November 24, 2007
Addiction
It's just like the grades in school now! What was a "B" 25 years ago now is an A++! Bonds, Romanowski and many others who had been accused of taking steroids. So they take steriods and the world just loves it! Dr. Morris Mellion of the University of Nebraska Medical Center has made a strong case that exercise addiction is every bit as real and serious as drug addiction and eating disorders and is very much like them in the way it works. He described the growing trends among young athletes engaging in more high-risk behaviors, such as drinking, taking drugs, having more sexual partners and higher rates of sexually-transmitted diseases, using steroids, violence, impaired academic work and smoking. "Without concluding that sports are necessarily?"

It's just like the grades in school now! What was a "B" 25 years ago now is an A++! Bonds, Romanowski and many others who had been accused of taking steroids. So they take steriods and the world just loves it! Dr. Morris Mellion of the University of Nebraska Medical Center has made a strong case that exercise addiction is every bit as real and serious as drug addiction and eating disorders and is very much like them in the way it works. He described the growing trends among young athletes engaging in more high-risk behaviors, such as drinking, taking drugs, having more sexual partners and higher rates of sexually-transmitted diseases, using steroids, violence, impaired academic work and smoking. "Without concluding that sports are necessarily?"

Black Friday?

"And when He had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, "Come and see." And I beheld, and to a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, "A measure of wheat for a penny; and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine." (Revelation 6:5-6 KJV.)
This black horse's rider with the pair of balances in his hand symbolizes the rich capitalists that have a major impact on world conditions through their manipulation of national economies. Only one other verse in the Bible pictures a man with balances,or scales:"The merchant uses dishonest scales; he loves to defraud" (Hosea 12:7 NIV).
Another prophet, Amos, also said that the merchants—the wealthy capitalists of his day who were robbing the poor instead of helping them—"set forth wheat, making the ephah [unit of measure] small, and the shekel [price] great, and falsifying the balances by deceit... that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail" (Amos 8:4-6 KJV).
The black horse, then, represents famine and poverty perpetrated by the rich who refuse to share with those in need. Oil and wine, throughout the Scriptures, symbolize abundance or luxury. The fact that the oil and wine were"hurt not"indicates a situation where wealth and luxury exist alongside famine and poverty—and the gulf between rich and poor is only growing.

"Ahmadinejad, Chavez predict fall of US 'empire'"
November 20, 2007
Some people have been reading the handwriting in the desert sands for a long time and have been trying to get the world's attention.
But like all true prophets, they only get the attention of a few, and those few aren't enough to make a difference. The phony prophets of peace have the money on their side, so don't expect a lot of publicity to be given to this and then every time a true prophet brings this up, you can be sure he or she will be ridiculed; but that's the way it goes for true prophets.

Listen to true prophets
Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez said on a visit to Tehran on Monday that the “empire of the dollar is crashing,” one day after his country and anti-U.S. ally Iran advocated action over the weakening U.S. currency during an OPEC summit in Riyadh. Chávez, who on Saturday said oil prices could double to $200 per barrel if the U.S. attacked Iran over its disputed atomic ambitions, spoke to reporters after talks with his Iranian counterpart, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, in Tehran.
