You reap what you sow

Wednesday Aug 22nd, 2007
America has armed Israel since its beginning and the horrible results of what Israeli weapons have done to Arab nations. The U.S. reaped a very small fraction of what it has sown in the form of bloodshed and terror, the devastation and death it has made possible by its arms sales and its pro-Israel foreign policy.
-->
And the U.S. hasn't even begun to reap the hatred it has sown in the Mideast and elsewhere, both because of its own wars, military interventions, missile strikes, murderous raids and assassinations and more. But the Lord keeps good books, and in His good time, He'll balance the accounts, rewarding every man and every nation according to their works, good for good and evil for evil. When people not only refuse to show justice and mercy and love and compassion for others, but go further and even persecute and slaughter others and commit all sorts of atrocities, and refuse to repent of their evil, despite much time and mercy and longsuffering and many opportunities from the Lord, He's forced to take action. He's a just God, as well as a loving one.

And no doubt all these purposes will be served, but this technology is a two-edged sword — it cuts both ways, for good or for ill, depending on how it’s wielded.In the days to come, this same technology will also be used for evil, employed by the A.C. system in keeping an eye on anyone who might be a threat, and to monitor any religious believers who might try to “subvert the populace.” And, if you’ll notice, it’s being established in Europe, which in many ways is already becoming an anti-religious stronghold.The creeping destruction of liberty and privacy in these Last Days, and the odd thing is, most of the world doesn’t even realize it yet, since it’s proceeding so gradually in most places, like the frog in the pot of water that is slowly being brought to a boil does not know what’s happening to him.

Is Clinton the womant he prophet foretold?
Hillary Clinton's strong beliefs have been exposed in various publications. She's on the wrong side of everything. She's for abortion; she's for gay rights; she's against home schooling; she's for children's rights against their parents; and she's for children suing their parents, and on down the line. Before William Branham died, that great and humble prophet, one of the last revelations and visions he had was that the final ruler of the United States, who would bring the United States to its doom and would be the worst ruler they ever had, would be a very beautiful but very cruel woman.

Global Military

Global Military
by Ted Rudow III,MA ( Tedr77 [at] aol.com )
Saturday Aug 18th, 2007
Global military spending rose 3.5 percent last year to $1.2 trillion as U.S. costs for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan mounted, a European research body said in its annual study. The United States spent $529 billion, nearly what the rest of the world combined spent, on military operations in 2006, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute said in its latest yearbook.
-->
The $1.2 trillion sum is ten times the annual net development aid paid out by all rich countries. Imagine how much better off the world would be if all this money had gone to food and clean water and shelter and necessities, rather than the waste of war and its weaponry! Wars of the future may be fought just to run the machines that fight them.

Bridge crumbled like America crumbles
Editor,She is crumbling and will continue to crumble under the weight and pressure of the repercussions of this mighty blow of the decay of the cities. It’s going to be the belly button of the whirlpool that will drain America of its resources. Pain and suffering have been poured out on others for years by the Americans. America struggles to hold on to its wealth. Half a trillion dollars is wasted in Iraq and the Mideast. Instead of helping the poor, she conquers and destroys the poor. She’d been living on borrowed money all the time and wasn’t even raising enough money for her current expenses, much less to pay back her debts.

Steroids users not kids' idols
Editor,


I believe Nathan Mollat when he proclaims how parents who allow their children to idolize Barry Bonds is beyond him. ("Sports Lounge" in the July 31 edition of the Daily Journal) Clearly, many things are beyond the mental grasp of Nathan Mollat.
"Parents are nuts not to let their kids know that many professional athletes are not the people to emulate. Forget the baseball aspect, the media paints Bonds as not a nice guy. Why parents would allow their children to idolize Bonds is beyond me. When I was growing up, I never looked at professional athletes as heroes or as someone after which to pattern my life. Maybe I'm in the minority."
Here, Here for Nathan! He had the guts to say it!!!
The link toward violence and steroids is a fact! "How they manage the risks of using steroids and other physique-enhancing drugs; how they understand the alleged steroid-violence link..." ("Bodybuilding, Drug and Risk," Lee Monaghan)

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 bad for our kids' behavior, clearly something is going on here. Parents, school administrators and coaches need to get a grip on it."

The Crash
by Ted Rudow III,MA ( Tedr77 [at] aol.com ) Friday Aug 10th, 2007 3:20 PM
"The Dollar, the green Dollar, the Green Pig, is literally inflating right now very rapidly-the whole world monetary system will collapse!--And the bankers and capitalists will be left sitting on their stacks of bank notes which will be worthless!--
-->
The monetary system is about to explode and cause the capitalistic financial system to collapse! But how could that affect the Mideast? America would try to attack the Arab Countries and grab the oil ! Whatever super power possesses and controls those Arab countries would have all the oil and they would have what would be the most valuable things in the world at a time of crisis like that!" This was written in 1973-4 by David Brandt Berg and it a fulfillment of what happen today in the Mideast! There is a crash coming, no matter how often the feel-good economists predict that all things will continue as they are, just because they have been for the last several decades. The world's economy is a house built on the sand of debt, and a storm is coming, and great will be the fall of that house (Matthew 7:24-27). Ted Rudow III,MA

The U.S. tried to assassinate Egypt’s president, Gamal Abdel Nasser, Iran’s Islamic leadership, that crazy Ghadafi in Libya.

Yet the path of nonviolence would not bring the Palestinians freedom and justice, only His return will do that. For the Palestinians are an occupied people, and unlike the British in India, those who occupy them will not withdraw. And, for the time being, there is pressure in the West that can be brought to bear on the Israelis. Those in power in the US will scarcely dare to criticize Israel for its treatment of the Palestinians, and if they do, their protest is more of a ritual than a heartfelt condemnation. And the common people of the US are either solidly pro-Israel or they do not understand the nature of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and think the Palestinians are the aggressors, "Muslim terrorists and fanatics," or simply do not wish to be bothered with what they consider a complex issue. So Israel will continue its oppression, whether the resistance is violent or not, for it has no reason not to. The oppression will go on in secret, out of sight of the world, invisible to the media and the rest of the world.Ted Rudow III,MACalifornia, United States

Scope?

SAN FRANCISCO
THE EXAMINER/INDEPENDENT Weekend Edition,August 5-6, 2006

FROM READERS:

'Islamo-fascists'

“President George W. Bush understands the scope of the worldwide assault on freedom posed by the Islamo-fascists,” according to Karen King, chairwoman of the San Mateo County Republican Party.

And those who call themselves Christians and loudly proclaim their love of God, but then even more loudly beat the drums of war and rain death and destruction on the innocent while at the same time filling the coffers of their masters and cronies with the profits of war, make His name and those who are called by His name to stink in the nostrils of the world.

These do abominable works in His name, and so do more to hamper His cause than those who actively fight. These shall reap the wrath of both man and God for their hypocrisy and wickedness.

That statement is why she is so ignorant about of the rest of the world! And so the U.S. has done much to destroy any peace!

Morals Must Be Taught

As difficult a decision it was to make to forfeit the season, Sequoia High Principal Morgan Marchbanks said it was necessary to preserve the school’s integrity.



“I think the sports program is integral to high school. But our model of teaching morals is paramount,” Marchbanks said. “While this was a painful action to take, we had to clean our house in order to set an example.”

I went to Menlo-Atherton High School and played basketball from 1967-1970. I also played with Charles Johnson at Cal, who was the best basketball player ever at Sequoia High. I was an academic counselor at San Jose State University in the ’90s.

More than half of the freshman class at San Jose State Unversity took remedial English and math. It was the dumbing down of the academic standards and now any school’s moral integrity.

For students, it has meant wholesale confusion about moral values: learning to question values they have scarcely acquired, unlearning values taught at home, and concluding that questions of right and wrong are always merely
subjective.

It is because the failure of moral education in the schools. In brief, students are being taught by the wrong method — a method that looks more and more like a fad that won’t go away.

It has meant that the development of moral education curriculums has been turned over to theorists who have repeatedly expressed disdain for concepts such as virtue, character and good example; the same theorists have dismissed past culture and history as being irrelevant to the search for values.

U.S. pushes for democracy until the wrong side wins - Article Comments

1/31/06
The future of the Middle East entered a new era of uncertainty Thursday, as the militant Palestinian opposition group Hamas snatched power from the ruling old guard and made skeptics of many key players in the peace process. "There was a peaceful process as people went to the polls. And that's positive," Bush said. While he reiterated that the United States will not deal with the organization as long as it seeks Israel's destruction, he called.
U.S. isn't really against terrorists; it's just against terrorists who aren't its friends and allies! After all, if it were against terrorists, it would be against Israel, against the various Israeli governments which have thrown the Palestinians off their land and seized it, bulldozed their houses, torn up their olive trees and orchards, herded the people into virtual concentration camps, shot their children for throwing stones, etc.
So as far as I'm concerned, that is one more nail in both Israel's and the U.S.' coffin! Because the World is going to demand justice for the Palestinians and I don't think it is going to be very far away.
