Horse Manure of a Different Color!

 

We the People have been hearing some outlandish prevarications as of late. What is the truth with this administration? What is their course and directive? Are they vying for the good of America, or; are they trying to destroy our country and its heritage? The American dismantlement began before Obama was even sworn into office. It began for this administration with the transition team that was selected specifically for this purpose. Campaign promises were only part of the obfuscation that preceded the presidential inauguration. The former failed systems aka the isms such as Socialism, Communism, Marxism, Leninism, Fascism and anything ending with ism that could be connected to a former failed government on this planet, are being resurrected and renewed in the government led by Obama et al.

A major tool of these narcissistic elitists is propaganda. Many of these current selected leaders came from the hallowed halls of academia. One need only check the history preceding the Hitler administration to find the academically degreed participating and inaugurating many of the policies that precipitated the deaths of millions. These policies were planned and experimented with during the late 1800’s. From the Eugenics teaching and experiments that began in Great Britain and America, the forerunners of mass murder formulated their plans. And…propaganda was instrumental in their success.

First, one has to sell the idea of the necessary adjustments that will be needed and implemented to the people. Create a panic, create a crisis, and then never let a good crisis go to waste. Can the Obama administration lie to the people? Are they lying about this health care proposal? In his book, Lies! Lies! Lies! The Psychology of Deceit, Charles V. Ford (1996: 284) says this: A few people, by virtue of their inherent acting skills-called "natural performers" by Ekman (1992)-are exceptionally good at lying; such individuals can thrive in occupations (such as politics or sales) that place a premium on skilled deception. Individuals who have this skill and who, in addition, have severe character dysfunctions (e.g., narcissistic or antisocial personality disorders) have wreaked, and will continue to wreak, great damage on humanity.  And Nietzsche (1886/1967, p.204) says, “The powerful always lie.” So, could this be a flood of propaganda coming from the Obama administration? What is propaganda and how is it used? Propaganda can be used very effectively by evil people to accomplish their purpose. We want to come to a better understanding of this strategy, adroitly used by the human instruments of Satan the devil, their real leader. First the definition:

Propaganda Definition

Propaganda is a specific type of message presentation aimed at serving an agenda. Even if the message conveys true information, it may be partisan and fail to paint a complete and balanced picture. The primary use of the term is in political contexts, and generally refers to efforts sponsored by governments and political parties. Now the goal:

The goal of propaganda is to garner either support or disapproval of a certain position, rather than to simply present the position. The primary target of propaganda is people's opinions rather than their knowledge. Therefore, the information conveyed is often presented in an emotionally loaded way and with other means of affecting the opinions of people.

In English, the word "propaganda" often carries strong negative (as well as political) connotations, despite being accepted as a general meaning of "advertising" on rare occasions. This is not necessarily so in other languages, and usage of the term may lead to misunderstanding in communications with non-native English speakers. For example, in Brazil and some Spanish language speaking countries, particularly in the Southern Cone, the word "propaganda" usually means the most common manipulation of information—"advertising."

Let's look at three types of propaganda:

1. Name calling

 2. Glittering generalities.

 3. Euphemisms.

1. Name Calling

"Bad names have played a tremendously powerful role in the history of the world and in our own individual development. They have ruined reputations, stirred men and women to outstanding accomplishments, sent others to prison cells, and made men mad enough to enter battle and slaughter their fellowmen. They have been and are applied to other people, groups, gangs, tribes, colleges, political parties, neighborhoods, and states, sections of the country, nations, and races." (Institute for Propaganda Analysis, 1938)

The name-calling technique links a person, or idea, to a negative symbol. The propagandist who uses this technique hopes that the audience will reject the person or the idea on the basis of the negative symbol, instead of looking at the available evidence.

The most obvious type of name calling involves bad names. For example, consider the following

names and epithets hurled at those who oppose the current administration’s agenda, thses include but are not limited to the following; Hitler, Nazi, Terrorist, Right Wing Extremist, Swastika carrying extremists, unruly mobs, etc. etc. There will be more stigmatizing appellations to come.  

A more subtle form of name-calling involves words or phrases that are selected because they possess a negative emotional charge. Those who oppose budget cuts may characterize fiscally conservative politicians as "stingy." Supporters might prefer to describe them as "thrifty." Both words refer to the same behavior, but they have very different connotations. Other examples of negatively charged words include:

social engineering

radical

cowardly

counter-culture

The name-calling technique was first identified by the Institute for Propaganda Analysis (IPA) in 1938. According to the IPA, we should ask ourselves the following questions when we spot an example of name-calling.

What does the name mean?

Does the idea in question have a legitimate connection with the real meaning of the name?

Is an idea that serves my best interests being dismissed through giving it a name I don't like?

Leaving the name out of consideration, what are the merits of the idea itself?

If you can effectively attach some identifying epithet (true or not) to an individual, you can work towards generating a negative perception of any individual other then what they truly are. You can effectively neutralize that person, and portray them as evil incarnate, while truly they may be righteous instead. 

Propaganda can be used effectively if; the listening audience is lacking intelligence, inclined to mob psychology, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The human mind can be a fertile receptive field under the right conditions. This is why propaganda is so effective. 

A hypothetical for instance! Let's say you are having a conversation with someone who would use propaganda to their advantage. You mention the fact that this particular person you both know is a fine upstanding person. The propagandist injects this thought, Oh! They're ok, with the exception of only having one bad habit, they tell lies! You walk away from that conversation with doubt! Your mind has just received propaganda. The truth of the matter you find out later, after you begin to question that statement is; this individual would never lie no matter what! But the effect has caused you to doubt. This is how it works! Propaganda is designed to create doubt. Propaganda can be composed of half truths and half lies such as are currently spewing from the Obama administration. The epithets used by Speaker Pelosi et al are only an example of name calling and stigmatizing propaganda. Next we want to look at glittering generalities.

From the Consent of the Governed!

The Declaration of Independence says the following: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

We the people are seemingly no longer the people who place the President, the Senate, Congressmen et al into power. Our voice is seemingly ignored and silenced when we do speak out against actions of our elected officials. Tyrannical governments seek to silence its’ constituents. The ordered liberty concept can be either balanced with excessive liberty not becoming anarchical in concept because of no restraints imposed on the governed or; order can become tyrannical in concept when excessive Rules of Law are imposed in the name of necessity. The scales of balance are tipping towards the tyrannical unbalanced side by the Democratic Party and their controlling positions both in the House and Senate. To make matters worse, if possible, the President is also of the Democratic Party.

Have we the people no say or control of legislations that will ultimately affect us as citizens? Are we the people now at the mercy and under the control of despotic dictatorial leadership? When did America become ensconced with the Gulag mentality of Stalin and Lenin’s Russia of bygone eras? Personally, the current ruling administration and their coterie do not have my consent because they are not anchored in the foundational documents of America the primary one being the Constitution. When tyrannical governmental figures want to seize control of the entire system of government, they will either rewrite or abolish any documentation in opposition to their agenda, either overtly or covertly, with one thought in mind, change the rules of the playing field to suit their agenda. The Communist Rules for Revolution contain the following supposedly written in the early 1900’s.

"Always preach true democracy, but seize power as fast and as ruthlessly as possible. By encouraging government extravagance, destroy its credit; produce years of inflation with rising prices and general discontent." Well, by all means this is taking place before our very eyes (if we are not blind of course) in today’s administration. This current administration are seizing power as quickly as possible and introducing legislation that will make every citizen of the United States of America…a Slave! Everything the forefathers and the succeeding generations have fought and died for becomes mute! Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness will be a thing of the past because of the abject slavery that we are being encumbered with, and not by our consent! The governed never gave those who they placed in power the right to place them into slavery. Or; is it Obama’s et al plan to give Americans a taste of what the black people have gone through all these years? Is there some subversive plan for requital for past injurious inflictions to black people et al?

But; there seems to be a plan a lot larger than retribution and retaliation here. The plan is to turn America into a Communist type nation such as was in the failed (communistic) systems of Europe past. There are definite underpinnings of Stalin, Lenin, Marx in the actions of Obama and his coterie. Community organizer…? Ha! More like Community Revolutionist against anything American. This is all being done without the consent of the governed because posers/wannabees are using double speak language to keep the American people from knowledge of what they are doing…exactly! How about some examples of double speak?

Layoff, downsize, rightsize, headcount adjustment, RIF (reduction in force), realignment: mass dismissal of employees, usually due to business restructuring or economic conditions, or just not wanting to pay their benefits package at retirement

Public donation, shared sacrifice, public service: taxes, taxes, taxes

Job seekers: the unemployed, the laid off, the fired, no longer hirable

Asylum seekers: refugees, terrorists, illegal’s

Undocumented aliens: (US) illegal aliens

Freedom fighter: political rebel, activist, community organizer, revolutionist, Alinsky

Euthanasia: killing old people, deleting the useless eaters

As we of Native American (those with genetic inheritances) descent would say, they speak with forked tongue. They say one thing but mean another. The language of Obama and his coterie is masked in double-speak. What are their actual intentions? And do they have the consent of the governed? No, I do not believe they do because of their agenda of ramming their legislation through by threat, coercion and political force, and many times done at night or on weekends when people are sleeping! My, is this the problem..? The people are sleeping? We the people must once again take control and be governed by consent…ours!

Moral Relevance!

 

This should be one of the major considerations for the GOP’s next presidential candidate. The people are tired of dysfunctional families and the political hacks that lead them. Is the GOP seeking the quintessential candidate, or are they just looking for a nice face on top with nothing between the ears but vacuousness (stupidity) where the brain should be? Should the GOP be seeking candidates with sordid pasts and scandal implications as resume requisites? Should the GOP follow the Democrats pattern of acceptance for any immoral and debauchery laden background? The GOP was supposed to be the party of morals and family oriented. The leader presents a party format, as is the leader, so is the party and its’ constituents, well mostly. The Bible talks of the time when Aaron loosed the people, and when he made the golden calf as an idol to be worshipped. The true leader, a strict moralist, was absent from their location, and while he was gone the people were loosed and their moral focus and moral compass was absent from their lives.

If the GOP fields an amoral candidate what will be the outcome? Will the people look upon the candidate’s immoral failings as an example to do the same? Will placing an adulterer or adulteress on the ticket for example, signify approval of this amoral behavior? Will the people think that it’s okay to commit adultery because the candidate did and look where they are, running for the office of president! No, because morals are still important! In his book Common Morality: Deciding What to Do (2004) Bernard Gert proposes ten moral rules which, if followed, create a moral system. The rules are as follows:

1. Do not kill
2. Do not cause pain
3. Do not disable
4. Do not deprive of freedom
5. Do not deprive of pleasure
6. Do not deceive
7. Keep your promises
8. Do not cheat
9. Obey the law
10. Do your duty

If the GOP can field a candidate that follows the Biblical Ten Commandments and can acknowledge Gert’s ten moral rules, they could once again capture the attention of America’s conservative voters. However, if it is business as usual, the GOP offers an amoral candidate with a dysfunctional family that flaunts their immoral actions; you can just stay home or not enter a preference when you are faced with the GOP vs. the Democrat choice for president at the voting booth 2012.

Why should the GOP place these kinds of people and then rub them in the people’s faces as the GOP choice (S) like it or not? Do you honestly think we want a morally used (amoral) or spent candidate? Do you honestly think that everyone is committing adultery or debauchery so it’s okay to run a candidate that did or still does? What is the problem with this picture, and why does the political wannabees continue to want center stage when they can’t even qualify for the office of dog catcher where they reside? We are being bombarded by a has been beauty queen that attended five different colleges in a six year span of time, with less than two semesters at most, she finally received a B.S. in communications with an emphasis in journalism from the University of Idaho. By every university standard offering this degree curriculum this degree should be easier to achieve in less time than that. However, what you have is a former beauty queen that can talk/communicate, a vacuous yakking beauty queen at that! And her college GPA is suggested to be fairly low, and that was obvious during her first speaking attempts. So, what is your point on that?

My point can be understood if one were to use the right head to seriously evaluate the person from a requirement point of view. Why can’t the GOP find an intelligent accomplished woman to run for the office of president, shall we say someone like Condoleeza Rice for example? Why can’t the GOP find a well educated woman to place on the ballot? I’ll tell you why, because the qualified (and emphasis on qualified) women are not face or body beautiful and they just don’t look good in a bathing suit. The GOP would rather field a former beauty queen that looks good in PR photos and a bathing suit. Regardless that this individual is the atypical vacuous beauty queen that rides the wave on looks without the necessary mental capacity or capabilities to run this country. GOP, if you are reading this…what are you thinking? Do you seriously think that you can place anyone this fatuous in serious contention? You think it was bad when she was selected for McCain’s running mate, just wait until the next time (should she be stupid enough to run) when the Democratic hit machine gets up and running, they will devour her in short order.

What America needs is candidates that do not and have not committed adultery or any other sexual immorality. America needs candidates who do not do drugs or drink alcohol excessively and whose family members don’t either. America needs candidates that do not have children who participate in sexual activity without being married and bring forth children out of wedlock. America needs candidates that live above the foul morass of the amorality in the Democrat Party and those who are devoid of any values whatsoever. America needs candidates they can look up to, not candidates they can compare themselves to, and then say, at least I’m better than they are, while they continue practicing abominable behavior because of the provided bad examples by the GOP et al parties. The pattern (s) of America’s leaders should be above reproach! America needs moral relevance not immoral insignificance.

Another Political Party?

 

Has America had enough? Is it time for change in our government and political parties? The Democratic Party is changing America into another form of Communism such as Socialism. The GOP Republican Party is becoming obfuscated on identity and purpose. So what is the best choice for America? What does America and its’ constituents want or desire? Do Americans still want freedoms as guaranteed by the foundational documents of America? Does America still want family values and morals? If we answer yes to these questions, can the political parties now extant provide these basic necessities to remain a free and independent democracy? The answer to that is no! No, these parties are basically the same in practice and the lines between them is merging daily.

So, what is the answer? What does the Constitution say?  What does the Declaration of Independence say? The later document sets the tone for the current political parties and the current governments disobliges. There comes a time for change, and if the political parties can no longer listen to “We the People” then it is time to implement the following taken from the Declaration of Independence:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.”

The time has now come to alter and or abolish the current political parties as they no longer serve their constituents and the government of these United States of America. This form of government now instituted at the inauguration of President Obama has become destructive to these ends as framed in the Declaration and the Constitution. The Constitution is not a document that was implemented to be abolished or open to radical interpretation according to any person or party ideology. “When the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” The changes that need attention are not by any means trivial or light. The safety and well being of true Americans are now in question. The financial security, prosperity and free market enterprise are becoming past tense. When life savings can be taken away from workers and investors, and when a company/government no longer wants to pay them (the workers) their hard earned benefits, which they legitimately earned, the financial security no longer exists. When a government declares war on successful financially responsible people, they lose their safety and future security.

When the government and political parties no longer derive their power from the consent of the governed, and when they become tyrants along the same line as/of the King of England...! A classic example can be seen in the escalating taxes, monetary mismanagement, and budget deficits that cannot be understood or even comprehended, it is time for the people to take the power away from these despots, these political hacks that only seek their own welfare at the expense of the people. The time has come to institute a new party of the people, by the people and for the people. This party must be constituted of dedicated conservative men and women having the welfare of this country and its people as their primary focus and agenda. The leadership must be above reproach with a high moral compass. The GOP (quasi) was supposed to be the party of family values, morals; however, they have fallen from their lofty status and have become the party of failure along these lines. People putting themselves forward in the GOP are tainted by their adulterous indiscretions and weaknesses of the flesh. The leading candidates for the next presidential race should not even be spouting their agenda on any media outreach or forum. 

Let me make myself perfectly clear on this because the people in contention for the next presidential race should not even be seriously considered. People like the adulterous Newt Gingrich, John McCain, Sarah Palin, et al must be rejected as viable candidates because of their willful indiscretions. If America elects these kinds of people to any office anywhere, they are taking a step backwards and the morals of America will decline even further. Can anyone of a high moral character look up to these kinds of people for an example of what one should become or be? Absolutely not! It is time for all good men and women to come to the aid of their country. Oh, do you think I have become too pontificating and condescending with these requirements for elective office? Yes, all have sinned and fallen short, and there is forgiveness for sins, and the people who commit sin deserve another opportunity to make good. However, there are so many people just like King David that must have the sin and or confession of such dug out of them! They will not disclose their sins willingly, but, they have to be caught red handed and exposed in order to stop or even confess their trysts. Yes, people can repent! Yes people can pay for their sins and crimes, as this happens all the time. But, should some of these kinds of people be considered for the office of the President of the United States of America? Remember Bill Clinton? Now is that a good example for children to follow? Remember Spitzer, Vitter, Ensign, Sanford, Craig et al, to name a few?  I rest my case. There will be more on this!

Unpatriotic Capitalists!

 

One of the worst atrocities perpetrated upon the American people are the unpatriotic acts/actions of the 20th and 21st century capitalists. Perhaps one would think that this is a rather harsh assessment? Perhaps a little truth shock is needed to see the real intentions of the capitalists and their design for America and its’ people. The capitalists are not patriotic as can be seen in their business dealings, the evacuation of their businesses from American shores, and then reestablishing them in foreign countries.  When we were given a free land because our forefathers could no longer deal with the tyranny and oppression of their former European et al countries, they came to the shores of a country now called America. Their departure from the virtual slavery/subjugation imposed on them via oppressive laws, taxations, and the absence of the right to protest these oppressing burdens, eventually brought upon them a war that they did not seek. The Revolutionary War was fought for freedom; freedom from the oppression of England’s overbearing control and excessive subjugation of the new colonies in America.   Forthrightly; the people wanted to be free from England and free from many other countries that continuously oppressed their people.

Capitalism’s fundamental reason for existence is to create or make wealth with an initial investment. The profits usually went to one person while the burden of creating that wealth was the result of many workers labor which was capitalized on with small wages for services rendered. Supposedly, the capitalist took the initial risk by their financial investment so; they were the primary beneficiaries of this investment.  Nothing has changed since the onset of the capitalist agenda…perhaps noble (?) at first but more mercenary in today’s avaricious corporate structures. The bottom line is all that counts…no matter what or who.   Capitalists want to make money at the expense of their workers. They are not willing to share their profit except it be in the form of yearend bonuses that really only serve to quiet the workers and make them continue to produce for their company. This minuscule token is really nowhere near what the worker (s) does for this company in work and benefits. Many workers are very skilled at their position and the corporate structure realizes more in worker return than in their token gifts, wages, and small benefit packages that they bestow upon the workers overall. 

The real problem occurring over the past few decades can be seen in capitalism’s true intentions. If one were to consider themselves to be patriotic, would they support America’s workforce? Would one support this wonderful country for the blessings received? Being born in a free land with more than ample opportunities to become successful, if that’s what you want, can be achieved in America. However, along with these advantages come responsibilities. The responsibilities to remain Americans with the good of the country and its people should be a primary consideration…wouldn’t you think? Then why is it that the capitalists are now evacuating the shores of America and taking their businesses to foreign countries? Why are these same capitalists taking our goods offshore to be manufactured by people in a foreign country? Are these people/capitalists patriotic in any sense of the word or definition? No; absolutely not! These people are unpatriotic traitors of the lowest level. No longer content to exploit America’s work force, they now go to foreign countries to exploit the people there! Why pay $15.00 an hour when you can pay $2.00 an hour (or less) for work performed. And, no benefit packages are necessary in foreign countries!

The capitalist cannot share their fortunes with the people that actually made this fortune for them and their company. What does it take to place a little money into a quasi capitalist adventure? There is not too much blood, sweat and tears at this level. The real producers at the worker level are the ones that actually make the money for their respective companies of employment when all things are considered! The corporate leaders can only take the bow and the profit from the labor of others. These parasitic unpatriotic people at the corporate head should be ashamed of themselves for not supporting the land (America) into which they were born and the people that live and try to make a living here. The jobless rate continues to escalate! The benefit packages of the workers who invested their entire working life in the company they worked for are now gone or disappearing! And this could have been prevented by placing America and its people first and the profit line after. 

Where is all this headed? Does anyone believe in the Bible and its prophecies, predictions today? Well if you do, there will be vengeance and havoc wreaked upon all of these capitalists who took advantage of the poor working force of America, and all those who put into place and practice these same exploitative agendas in foreign countries. Let’s read a couple of things concerning this and then we will wait for the other shoe to fall on these avaricious unpatriotic people!  “What mean you that you crush my people, and grind the face of the poor says the Sovereign Yahweh of hosts?” Isaiah 3:15 “Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you.   Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten.   Your gold and your silver are rusted; and their rust shall be for a testimony against you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. You have laid up your treasure in the last days.   Behold the hire of the laborers who mowed your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, cries out: and the cries of them that reaped have entered into the ears of Yahweh of Hosts. James 5:1-4

Yes, these unpatriotic capitalist raiders do crush the people; they place heavy burdens as in the days of Egypt, make bricks without straw. Pay your mortgages and car payments without any jobs because they have been taken to foreign countries.  Make your living without a decent wage while the prices continue to escalate such as ascending gas prices in the midst of a gas glut and oil surplus. Yes, they keep back the wages while their bottom line continues to increase. They always want you to believe they are not making money but they continue to operate don’t they? Yes, many companies are going under and do you think this is a coincidence after reading the aforementioned Biblical passages? Not hardly! Yes fellow patriotic Americans as they say…” paybacks are hell!”  And behold…it comes!

The Two Faces of Pelosi!

 

"...When generating a lie or a false response, one must know the truth, resist the impulse to answer truthfully, and further generate an alternative but appropriate response." - J.M. Nuñez et. al.

Is House Speaker Nancy Pelosi a pathological liar? Does she have dissociative identity disorder (DID)? Or…is she just plain schizophrenic? Which Pelosi is it that speaks on any given day? What did she know and when did she know it?   

Dissociative Identity Disorder (Multiple Personality Disorder)

Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is a severe condition in which two or more distinct identities, or personality states, are present in—and alternately take control of—an individual. The person also experiences memory loss that is too extensive to be explained by ordinary forgetfulness.   Considering the verbal fluctuations in Pelosi’s present stand on the torture techniques of the CIA and being briefed on this in 2002. Pelosi was briefed by the CIA in 2002 along with three additional congressional leaders, where Pelosi was informed of enhanced interrogation techniques, and was told that White House lawyers concluded that waterboarding was legal. Does Pelosi have selective/convenient amnesia? What is selective/convenient amnesia?

Selective/convenient amnesia - amnesia about particular events that is very convenient for the person who cannot remember. Why do some politicians always develop selective amnesia when questioned about their transgressions? Is Pelosi lying? Are her lips moving? It does appear that she is sidestepping and dancing around the real truth of the matter. Gail Satz talked recently with Katie Couric about why people lie. Here is some of what she said.

“Everybody lies. It may only be “white” lies, but everyone tells lies or “omits the truth” sometimes. We start lying at around age 4 to 5 when children gain an awareness of the use and power of language. This first lying is not malicious, but rather to find out, or test, what can be manipulated in a child’s environment. Eventually children begin to use lying to get out of trouble or get something they want. White lies, those concocted to protect someone’s feelings, are not a big deal at all. The person, however, who seems to feel compelled to lie about both the small and large stuff has a problem. We often call these folks pathological liars (which is a description, not a diagnosis). They lie to protect themselves, look good, gain financially or socially and avoid punishment. Quite often the person who has been deceived knows that this type of liar has to a certain extent deluded him or herself and is therefore to be somewhat pitied. A much more troubling group is those who lie a lot — and knowingly — for personal gain. These people may have a diagnosis called antisocial personality disorder, also known as being a sociopath” (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4072816/).

Is Nancy Pelosi regressing to her childhood wherein she probably began lying? It would appear that she is exhibiting the same traits of a 4 or 5 year old child who lies to keep from getting into trouble. Why Nancy do you think you would be taken to the woodshed if you were caught lying? Pathological lying has been compared with the "pseudolying" observed in children. Despite their obvious comparability, it is important to draw a distinction between the "fantasy" lying observed in children and pathological lying. Children's use of fantasy to deny reality is said to be an important aspect of self-development and self-protection, but when this persists into adulthood, it becomes pathological. It has been proposed that the pathological liar's ego is fixated at the childhood level (DSM-IV).   Pathological is defined as; of, relating to, or manifesting behavior that is habitual, maladaptive, and compulsive. Or is Pelosi just plain schizophrenic? Is there two Nancy Pelosi’s? One that concurs with the majority on certain issues but then shifts and changes her mind when she is called into question by the lunatic fringe? 

For the record…do I believe in torture? Should we take extreme measures when America is under attack by enemies foreign or domestic?  There should be a contingency clause in any method of interrogation wherein masses of lives are in jeopardy by possible bomb annihilation.   There are times when the situation warrants the use of interrogations beyond normal atypical question and answer sessions that seek a confession of guilt. Sometimes the use of truth serum should be implemented. Would that be too extreme for those in opposition to torture of any kind? Probably! Remember, some (perhaps many or most) of those in opposition to torture were against spanking children and you can see where that has taken us in America? Is Pelosi lying? Yes!   She should fess-up and tell the truth with a so-what attitude concerning her critics and left of sane opposition. Truth will always stand on its’ own merits! Personally…I’m a Jack Bauer fan…so you know where I’m coming from on this quasi torture issue!

Living In/With Fear!

 

“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself--nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance” Franklin Delano Roosevelt, First Inaugural Address, Mar. 4, 1933, sage advice from one of the leading proponents of the Democratic Party. Why the mass hysteria and fear in the Democratic Party? You say what fear, what hysteria?  Take a close look at the agenda of the Democratic Party now in power. Why would there be a need to pass legislation that implements a federal “hate crimes” plan? H.R. 1913 focuses on stopping certain agendas not in agreement with the Socialist/Fascist Left now in power. This legislation will be target specific. This legislation will be directed to anyone that speaks or writes about homosexuality in a negative way that would condemn the practice called “abomination” in Leviticus 18:22 and “reprobate mind” in Romans 1:27-28. The plain truth of this matter is the homosexual community just doesn’t want to hear this type of condemning dialog.   They do not want to be told that their behavior is evil and unacceptable.   So they will do everything possible to avoid the label and stigma of their inordinate lifestyle.

In seeking extra protection the homosexual seeks to forestall eradication or persecution. The homosexual community has tried everything to make their abhorrent lifestyle acceptable to the human race. They had the APA change their definition and designation. They had the stigmatizing term GRID (Gay-related immune deficiency) changed to a more acceptable acronym AIDS (Acquired immune deficiency syndrome).  This illusion was to avoid any direct connection of origin concerning this terrible disease that infected homosexuals. They also had the laws changed regarding the illegality of sodomy and now because of the 2003 U.S. Supreme Court Lawrence v. Texas decision this behavior was taken into the legal forced compliance arena that now affords them (homosexuals) safety when they conduct their sexual liaisons.  Systematically the forced changes have degraded and denigrated the institution of marriage between one man and one woman. And all of this is because they fear being eradicated for their behavior. If according to them that this is acceptable behavior why all of the deceit and treacherous activity to protect themselves? They are living in and with fear, and well they should be! If history is any reference/indicator to this behavior, they will be wiped out in due time.

Another fear of the Socialist Fascist Left is an overthrow of their government. They want to stop the freedom of speech of Ministers and Talk Show Hosts that speak in opposition to their agenda. So, now they want to censor talk radio and this will include religious preachers that speak the real truth concerning plans for their totalitarian regime. This agenda is no different than Rome, Germany, and now the United States and eventually all countries of the world that will be brought under their governmental power. First they must shut up the opposition so they will implement media censorship that will include radio, newspapers, Internet news and blog sites et al. The First Amendment rights will be reinterpreted to mean other things such as the yelling of fire in a theatre will now be applied abstractly instead of literally. It will acquire a new intension that now means something entirely different. Instead of yelling fire (in a theatre) the new interpretation will be any oral presentation (s) that contain their idea of what hate speech now is, will be unacceptable. Well…sort of, because, the First Amendment has already been stretched to cover indecorous practices already. How can we interpret free speech as allowing the possession and viewing of pornography, nude art, and scatological presentations? Anyway, this is another fear that the left of the sane line lives with.

Another problem for true patriotic Americans will be the forced compliance of their gun law legislation. Perhaps they will create another crisis such as 911 to implement a gun seizure plan. This is not new in governments that will do anything to stay in power. Hitler used the same tactic and method to reduce or eliminate the possibility of being overthrown.  "The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or native police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order throughout the occupied Russian territories, and a system of military strong-points must be evolved to cover the entire occupied country." --Adolf Hitler, dinner talk on April 11, 1942, quoted in Hitler's Table Talk 1941-44: His Private Conversations, Second Edition (1973), Pg. 425-426. 

You think this can’t happen, well you are sadly mistaken. Remember it was University intelligence and intelligent people that supported Hitler. Big business supported and financed Hitler. Propaganda was used for Hitler’s position acceleration and establishment. Propaganda was used against Hitler’s enemies. This current administration is engaging in a constant propaganda diatribe. So, in all actuality, there is nothing new under the sun. And, they are promulgating once again the Fascist/Socialist agenda of Hitler’s bygone and dead era!

Another JANET??? Another Waco?

 

Well, America must suffer under another Janet, as if Janet Reno wasn’t enough! It would appear that the left of the sane line such as socialists, fascists, and liberals in general, are targeting anything to the right of the sane line. One needs to remember just who and what these people represent.   Fascists were in vogue during the early part of the twentieth century. Two despot leaders that rose during this era with socialistic and fascist agendas were Hitler and Mussolini.  Similarly, Adolf Hitler, whose National Socialist (Nazi) Party adapted fascism to Germany beginning in 1933, said:

“The state should retain supervision and each property owner should consider himself appointed by the state. It is his duty not to use his property against the interests of others among his own people. This is the crucial matter. The Third Reich will always retain its right to control the owners of property.” (Barkai 1990, pp. 26–27) Mussolini distinguished fascism from liberal capitalism in his 1928 autobiography:

“The citizen in the Fascist State is no longer a selfish individual who has the anti-social right of rebelling against any law of the Collectivity. The Fascist State with its corporative conception puts men and their possibilities into productive work and interprets for them the duties they have to fulfill.” (p. 280) So, where is America now headed? The socialists and fascists are now in power and the two shall become as one for the good of their cause and party. However, there are some inconvenient stumbling blocks that these left of the sane line must overcome. One is to gain control and remotion of all guns either by complete eradication and seizure or, have them locked up for use on specific occasions like hunting or target shooting, can we say  England’s gun control methods here?  By creating a quasi need for gun control (euphemism for complete seizure) the socialist/fascist party now in power will create the opportunity for this occurrence. Think Hitler here and here is a reminder of how that went down during his reign.

"The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let's not have any native militia or native police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order throughout the occupied Russian territories, and a system of military strong-points must be evolved to cover the entire occupied country." --Adolf Hitler, dinner talk on April 11, 1942, quoted in Hitler's Table Talk 1941-44: His Private Conversations, Second Edition (1973), Pg. 425-426. 

Janet Napolitano’s mindless diatribe concerning “Extremists” is only a portend for what lies ahead. When you verbally indict our military veterans current or past, and then stigmatize them with the extremist’s appellative/appellation, you are labeling them in the same way the Hitler did during his lunatic tenure as leader of Germany. Why is Napolitano concerned over the military aspect and labeling them as extremists? No rocket science needed here to answer that one. She is acting on behalf of the scared and threatened party she now is goose stepping to/for. Their problem (socialists/fascists) is getting into power and then keeping that power no matter what. They are afraid that their regime will be toppled and who better than trained military personnel to accomplish something like that? Hitler worried about being overthrown as aforementioned in his own words. 

It appears that Napolitano is putting into effect the agenda of the less than sane liberal left. What distraction will she create to impose their absolute control agendas? Will she find another Waco to burn to the ground? Will she invade the homes of private citizens and seize their guns? What about militia groups that she perceives as a threat, how will she justify her aggressive “extremist” delusions about them really wanting to take over America so we just had to stop them? Or…will she actually have the government agencies blow up another Murrah Building after she orders some “extremist” stronghold burnt to the ground just like the other Janet (Reno) did at Waco, Texas? It appears that the name Janet has a common mental denominator here. And for America and its’ people that is not good! Personally, they should get Janet Napolitano out of this office before she sets America on fire, not only with words but with Gestapo orchestrated manifestations.   Maybe she will even have the audacity to attack Chuck Norris and label him as an “extremist,” want to wish well on that one Janet!

Ordinances Forgotten…or; Ignored?

 

”Let every soul be subject to higher authorities, for there is no authority except from Elohim, but the existing authorities have been ordained by Yahweh. So that the one resisting authority has opposed the ordinance of Yahweh, and the ones opposing will receive judgment to themselves.” Romans 13:1-2

Why is it that supposed (quasi) Bible believing individuals really do not understand or even know what they believe or from whence comes their beliefs. Most will say that they believe what the Bible teaches, however, this is not always the case. Since President Obama was elected to the office of Presidency there has been a concerted movement to have him removed via lawsuits and or by fiat when the case arises to SCOTUS, if possible.  Now…if you truly believe what the Bible teaches how do leaders become such…by the will of men or by the decree of the Supreme Ruler of the Universe? “But Yahweh is the judge; He puts down one and sets up another.” Psalm 75:7.   So, how does this fit in the scheme of things concerning rulers of the countries of the world? Depending on what you believe concerning the selection and ordination of rulers is how you will react to any leader in any position.

One element that is sorely lacking is respect for the chosen leaders of the assorted countries in this current world and system of things. If you truly believe the Bible could you lift up your hand against Yahweh’s anointed? Meaning the one that He sets up to be the ruler of any given country at any time in history past, and present. My point is this! In all good conscience can one actually say they believe what the Bible teaches and treat rulers with disdain and disrespect? It comes to this…if you say you believe in the Bible’s teachings and you challenge, disparage, and maltreat the one that is elected to the office of the President of the United States, you are a lying hypocrite. One of the major…main reasons that I personally despise John McCain is because of the disrespect that he openly showed the past President George Bush. McCain is a supposed military man supposedly serving this country and vows/displays allegiance to America and the high office of the President…but does he? No, absolutely not! He revealed his true colors when he displayed a total attitude of disrespect to then President Bush.   And…President Bush was the Commander in Chief of the military! What does that say about the true morals and beliefs of John McCain? Plenty! Ever wonder why some leaders just go cuckoo? Read the following passage.

“And you shall be driven from men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. You shall be fed with the grass like oxen, and seven times shall pass over you until you know that the Most High is Ruler in the kingdom of men, and that He gives it to whomever He desires.” Daniel 4:32  This leader in Daniel’s era was sent away to become as a beast without reason. From the office of King to the pastures of a beast, and an animal’s mind all because he failed to remember who does what in this earth. The resolution is in this, And at the end of days, I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up my eyes to Heaven, and my understanding returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored Him who lives forever, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and His rule is from generation to generation.” Daniel 4:34 Yes, his understanding returned when he acknowledged the source of all powers whether that be in the Heaven’s above or on earth beneath.

Now I ask you, Farah, Keyes et al, do you really think you are doing the right thing in challenging the President’s elected position? I mean from the standpoint that you both (or so you say) believe what the Bible teaches? I will caution all of you to be very careful what you do with this man. How do you know if this man falls into the following or not? Romans 9:17 “For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "For this very thing I raised you up, so that I might display My power in you, and so that My name might be publicized in all the earth." (Ex. 9:16) If this man is one of the final leaders on this earth…you do believe that the Kingdom is soon to come don’t you? How then can you in all good conscience challenge (ATTACK) the President under the guise of ineligible by constitutional requirements. Where in Heaven’s Name were the Congress, the Senate, America when this man should have been vetted prior to even entering the race for President? I would if I were you rethink your entire position on this because you are going to find yourself in opposition to the true Kingmaker…Yahweh!

I will leave you with one more thought…one more warning from scripture…the words of Zechariah 12:3 “And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all the peoples; all that burden themselves with it shall be sore wounded; and all the nations of the earth shall be gathered together against it.” Every person that has tried to bring about the division of Jerusalem and who wants to controvert the Jewish people’s rights have failed because eventually they are taken to task as this passage says. Hillary Clinton will find herself on the wrong side of this Palestinian foolishness she is now perpetrating. In opposing the Jewish state by calling for a Palestinian statehood she is in effect siding with those who want Israel’s demise. And do you believe in Jerusalem…Israel and the punishment you will receive if you try to harm these people?

Trivial Matters!

 

The press and talk show hosts centered on the right or conservative wing of this country are focusing on trivial matters.   While this country is being scrapped/buried by those who function behind the scene…those who function in darkness…those who actually control the world. Trivial matters and trivial pursuits are given to blind journalists and blind talk show hosts. Matters of consequence are irrelevant because these media institutions continue to be caught up in petty grievances of personal derivation.  During the last election cycle an example of this could be seen with one of the more bombastic talk show hosts doing very little to ensure the GOP fielding the right candidate for the office of Presidency! Instead of upbraiding the GOP for selecting McCain, he basically retreated and accepted the matter and the rest is history. This talk show host et al should have used their audio media pulpit in bully fashion. They should have decried the GOP choice and made enough noise and concern to affect a change in candidacy. Again, this was relegated to the trivial matters area and almost all of these talk show hosts became less vocal (some became silent) and just fell in line with the rest of the GOP losers.

Now we can also see a dilemma in the coming evangelical collapse (http://www.csmonitor.com/2009/0310/p09s01-coop.html). One of the major news providers on the Internet… World Net Daily… prides themselves on their Christian values. However, where are they on some of the more salient viable issues such as raising absolute hell about the stem cell decision made by the Obama administration?   Why are issues that affect this entire nation relegated to the trivial pursuit file while nonsense such as Obama’s qualification to be President is incessantly expounded on? This has now become a shutting the door when the horse is already out of the barn. This matter should have been vetted prior to Obama’s presidential quest, shouldn’t it? If there were questions concerning his eligibility to seek the office of President, why were they not interrogated prior to the process? Should not this matter be resolved prior and not post election? And, subsequently, why was this not an issue when Barrack Obama ran against Hillary Clinton? Do you mean to tell me that Hillary as bad as she wanted that office did not know and use this against Obama? Let’s not forget who the current perpetrators of the dirty tricks squad really are and from whence they originate!   The Clinton’s are masters at subterfuge and Saul Alinsky tactics for defaming and sullying anyone’s reputation if they so choose. One cannot believe that opportunity escaped the Clinton’s!

The quasi Evangelicals are basically cowards that do not want to rock the boat because they may lose their precious tax-exempt status…Section 501(c) (3) organizations are restricted in how much political and legislative (lobbying) activities they may conduct. If they lose their source of free unearned monies what will they do…? This brings to mind the true Savior’s words…” No servant is able to serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and he will love the other; or he will cling to one, and he will despise the other. You are unable to serve Yahweh and mammon (money).  And being lovers of money, the Pharisees (Teachers/Ministers/Evangelicals) also heard all these things; and they derided Him.  And He said to them, you are those justifying yourselves before men, but Elohim knows your hearts; for the thing highly prized among men is a hateful thing before Yahweh.” Luke 16:14-15

So now there is a dilemma amongst the Evangelicals…cry out against sin as the Bible directs and lose their free money sources. Or; cry out against the abominations of this time such as stem cell research, abortion, unorthodox marriage relationships, and every evil work that stands in opposition to what the Bible really teaches!  This also applies to those quasi religious based (so they say or want you to believe) Internet news sites. What are the real priorities of our time…President Obama’s qualifications to be president constitutionally? Or are there weightier matters that press us as a nation and people. There are conscionable choices that should and must be made. Are trivial matters and trivial pursuits of any consequence in the overall scheme of the current events that threaten to destroy our nation?  The priorities must be realized and they must be interrogated for veracity and necessary attention.

Right now our nation is being turned into a Socialist country and it would not matter who was the president. If Hillary would have been elected the outcome would be the same. If a moderate Republican were elected…the outcome would be the same. Capitalism is a failure because they forgot who brought them to their positions of wealth. They have exploited the masses for their capital gains and forgot the workers who made them what they are. The exploitation was continued in third world and unmechanized nations such as China in bygone days. China was backward so the USA capitalists brought them up to date and used them for their own personal gain, again exploitation. And now they have no voice in the oval office and instead of trying to change and help the workers they took advantage of, they are now going to the government trough with their hands out begging for our tax money. What a mess we are in and all the while trivial matters take precedent over matters of national emergency. So, you talk show hosts keep ringing that vacuous bell of redundancy. And you writers/publishers keep on harping on matters that are insignificant to anyone but you while America is being destroyed within because the real matters are not brought forth as important, only the little things that personally annoy you are posited.  All priorities concerning the aforementioned should be reconsidered…as America needs real men and women to sound the cry of truth of what matters are really important, not the redundant trivial matters.

Should We Just Do Nothing?

The new President just manoeuvered and signed into effect a massive package that will affect us all. Was this the right thing to do? We have seen America, along with other countries, under great financial duress. Also, the jobs that Americans once occupied have been taken to other countries such as Mexico, China, and Asia et al. Whether you agree or disagree, something had to be done. Notwithstanding, the opposition party has no immediate answers or solutions forthcoming to date. The GOP pushes (forces) Capitalism coupled with tax reductions specifically designed to benefit the wealthy as their redemptive agenda for the current dilemma. The capital gains tax is always at the forefront of the quasi tax reductions sought after and virtually begged for by the capitalists. However, in the midst of this current economic crisis I personally have yet to hear or read about an alternative to the Democratic Party’s proposal. In other words what would be the GOP’s plan and course of action for America’s economic crisis? First, I want to make one thing clear before proceeding any farther, I am not in favor of the Democrats massive bail-out program. However, I would like to see (or hear) a viable proposal that would address the issues we as Americans now face! Is Capitalism the answer to our current quandary/predicament? What is capitalism?

cap•i•tal•ism [ káppit'l ìzz

Definition:


Free-market system: an economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and distribution of goods, characterized by a free competitive market and motivation by profit.
(http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary)


Okay, if we use this definition as a reference, we will ascertain that capitalism is a system controlled by those who own the means of production and the goods distributed by these means. However, the question is; who makes these goods and how are they initially produced? If we take for instance an example of farming and the resultant ends of producing marketable products such as produce, we insert into the capitalism equation, workers. The quasi private ownership of factories companies’ et al that produces and distributes these goods relies on labor to capitalize on or, draw advantage from the efforts of these compensated workers. But, the compensation can be brought into question and often becomes exploitive in nature by under compensating these workers. The problem as I see it with Capitalism is exploitation! It appears that capitalism in order to compensate these owners of factories, businesses (large) and any means of profit realization will do anything to enlarge their bottom (or profit) line! And, that means they will go to any foreign country to accomplish this avaricious goal! Am I against making money? No! However, I am against how this money sometimes is made!

What is troubling with capitalism is exploitation, victimizing America’s people for their own gain and comfort. When capitalists acquire our goods, goods that were produced in America by American labor, and then ship these same goods to another country such as China, and then use the CHEAP labor of the Chinese people to turn these same goods into a marketable product that is then re-shipped back to America, and then sold back to our own people, that is exploitation and perfidiousness of unconscionable dimension! We buy back our own goods at a large profit for the so-called capitalist enterprise system of supply and demand! Allow me to elucidate! If these same goods/products are produced in America and then taken to our own factories, the workers will receive compensation for their work effort. For examples sake we will use the $15.00 per hour as a reference. If the worker receives this wage times 40 hours for the average work week, they will have earned $600.00 before taxes. And if this same worker has a benefits package coupled with this wage allocation, this benefit package will naturally increase the workers compensation. Now, if these same goods are shipped to another country where the worker(s) only receive slave wages such as $2.00 per day as a reference, we can see gross exploitation by comparison. The foreign worker will receive $10.00 per week with no benefit package at all! The cost of shipping the goods and returning them to America to be re-sold to us is cost effective to the capitalist enterprise or it would not even be considered by them!

So, if we incorporate (pun intended) this into today’s financial dilemma we have a real problem. The price of goods and services in America has reached disproportionate levels. Houses are priced beyond value, and wages are also not balanced with America’s pricing demands. Some receive inordinate wages for doing nothing while the laborer who mows their lawns and nannies their children get virtually nothing in return compensation for their labor. All the while the cost of living increases but wages are not commensurate with the cost increases. So, where do we go from here and who has the solution to this disparate system of pecuniary resources? One of the major problems is debt and interest on these debts. A seven year cycle was integrated into the Torah Law for a good and specific purpose. This cycle teaches the forgiveness of debt every seven years. What this also teaches is how to live within a certain financial confine. You learn to live within your means! Forgiveness of debt is the only solution for today’s financial crisis/dilemma! All debts must be eradicated and a fresh start given. Then the seven year cycle must be implemented. Teaching people to live within their budgets must be taught as economics 101 in schools so children can learn financial responsibility at an early age. This current crushing system will collapse the entire world if debt relief is not integrated into the financial equation as a solution, mark my words!

I Have…Had a Dream Too…But You Destroyed it!

 

Dr. Martin Luther King had a dream for the people, that everyone would be equal in the eyes of the Most High! The day that he dreamed about came true this past Presidential cycle. However, it remains to be seen if this is a true Dr. King dream or; a nightmare in the making!   I am referencing the new president Barack Obama with this thought. What he will do for or against the American dream is yet to be determined. We all want the best for our country and the good citizens therein, don’t we? The American dream contains success for diligent people willing to work hard for it but, is this dream realistic today? Can we work hard and have our own home, our own car? What about a retirement account free from scams, banking vandalism, and covert schemes? Can I retire and be free from debt because everything is paid for? Or; is this no longer possible? Have the dreams that one holds for their life and family now become unobtainable? Have they destroyed our dreams because of their (some people’s) avarice and insatiable desire for amassing great wealth at other people’s expense? 

Today the housing has been inflated beyond true value wherein no average person can conceivably afford one. The automobile market is about the same…who can afford an automobile at current prices. And, after a brief period the vehicle is no longer worth its initial value or asking price.  Everything goes up in price, but not wages. Workers are either making too much say some or very little say most. Minimum wages are not capable of sustaining a household of two adults and two children. And any dream (s) that the minimum wage earner might have is impossible to achieve.  Why is there such disparity and class division/distinction in America? It there a glass ceiling that cannot be penetrated by the hard working masses of America? Is there a restricted level that someone cannot arise above? Today I believe there is a stopping point for most sans any extended education such as a college degree, or; personal access to inordinate amounts of wealth.

What could be the long term solution for this discrimination against the working class people? Could the housing market create affordable homes? Could the car manufacturers build good yet inexpensive cars? Could the minimum wage be raised to the actual living standard that balances between accounts receivable (wages) and accounts payable/expendable (debts)? Yes, all of this is possible if the quasi establishment wants it to be so! I am not saying that Americans should be forced into shacks and the people’s car as per Germany during the WW2 era. How much of a house does the standard American family actually need? It appears that a four bedroom two bath home would be sufficient for most families in America today. Gone for the most part (sans illegal immigrants) are large families.

The average home size is another factor to consider. From 900-1200(60’s-80’s) square feet to over 2400 square feet today, the home size has accelerated in size. If the average family is 4 or even 5 per household, how much room does one family actually need? If you have ever spent any time in a third-world country you would simply be amazed at how little space in land and housing is available to them. The houses are small 3-4 rooms and the land is big enough to plant a small garden with some chickens-perhaps! So let’s look at necessity pricewise and repayment possibilities on a home loan. The median price of homes in December 2008 was around $242,000.00. So, loosely calculated the monthly mortgage payment could/would be around $1,800.00 all things included such as taxes, insurance etc. Now let’s extend that times 12 months, and this equals $21,000.00. Using mid-2009 minimum wage projections of $7.25 with some (a few) states having a slightly higher rate from $8.00 to $8.55 per hour rate, we arrive at approx. $15,060.00 based on 40 hours per week labor, and $18,850.00  at 50 hours per week. Now let’s factor in wages versus expenses, starting with mortgage payments.

At $1,800.00 (approx.) times 12 months for yearly house payment demand, the total comes to $21,000.00. We can end it right there, for to proceed any further is an exercise in futility. Wages based on 50 hours per week time 52 weeks equals $18,850.00 and house mortgage payments for one year are $21,000.00 leaving the average wage earner MINUS -$2,150.00. Now this figure does not include anything else and it is based on the average home value and the minimum wage today in America. Now do you see what I am saying that the American dream realistically is no longer attainable? The average or median wage as of August 2008 was $50,233.00.  Now we can take this figure and factor in car payments (usually times two per household) mortgage payment, utilities, food, transportation costs and several day to day necessary living expenses and still see a problem. More on this later…Can we still achieve the American dream or has that dream become shattered/destroyed by the avariciousness of several unscrupulous companies and the owners thereof..?

IS IT SOCIALISM NOW?

 

With the elections now history, one can only wonder what course will be taken.  People were dissatisfied with the current administration, so they opted for change.  But..?  Will the change be a positive, or will it be a negative for America and the world?  The party now coming into power, will be one you just might not like.  I just don't think the voting majority in true reality; know what they have actually done, all things considered.   

And old adage comes to mind, "be careful what you pray for, you just might get it."  With the attitude of change and betrayal you might think of Stephen's words in the book of Acts:  "And they stoned Stephen, calling upon Yahweh, and saying, Sovereign Yahshua, receive my spirit. And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Yahweh; charge them not with this transgression. And when he had said this, he fell asleep."   Acts 7:59-60

Perhaps the people stoned the Republican Party?   Perhaps they also do not know what they were doing either?  The price will be high for this action.  Putting the Republicans in the Minority could bring catastrophic results, if history is any indicator.  However, the loss incurred by the GOP was self-inflicted. If they were more selective on their candidacy and selection thereof, the election might have gone in their favor instead of against. Running John McCain (John McCooCoo, John McCrazy) was not a wise choice as is now evidenced. The party now in charge is comprised of many Socialists/Communists believers and inclinationists, because in all reality; there is no difference between either.  In times past you could tell the difference, but; with the socialistic infiltration of the Democratic Party, and now the GOP also, the change is or will be obvious.  

Few people remember the agenda employed by active abortion on demand proponents or the relentless pressure to promulgate the homosexual agenda either.  They wanted to make the Republican Party change their ideas on both of these issues, so; they infiltrated the Republican Party and the rest is historically apparent.  This agenda driven infiltration, occurred during the 1980's. The liberal moderate agenda pursued by many Republicans today, has certainly cast a shadow of doubt on their ability to govern. And so it was taken away from them. There is no real or actual Republican Party. The GOP has dissolved into a moderate mass of nothing, and is being led by liberal minded fools! And the consequences of that can be seen with blind eyes!

Now enter the Democratic Party!  What used to be their ideology and party agenda, has been compromised by the infiltration of Communist leaning (and practicing) personnel.  The Democratic Party as America once knew it, is ancient history.  With the socialist leanings of this party, one can only wonder when the pictures of Stalin, Lenin, or Karl Marx will make their appearance.  Time will tell. Remember that Saul Alinsky was one of Hillary (the Secretary of State now) Clinton’s mentors. And Alinsky was an unabashed Communist/Socialist who never apologized for his practices and beliefs.   It will be interesting to see who comes out of the closet now that the Democrats have the Presidency, the Senate, and the Congress. Because of this power consolidation that is now unchecked, we could be in some serious scat!

What really troubles me is the Liberal/Socialist/Communist agenda and standing on the abortion issue. Any country that murders its’ unborn or young is just asking for trouble and fire from Heaven. Also, the “Don’t ask don’t tell” Military issue and problem (for them) is really inconsequential; all things considered. The homosexual population overall is of relative insignificance because their actual numbers are vastly over-stated. However, when you have these types in high positions (think Barney Frank here) their voice becomes much louder.   They don’t want you to impose the straight heterosexual lifestyle on them! However, they force theirs on us by their constant demands; demands to be recognized and enjoy the same rights that were endowed by a wise Creator upon people who believe the sanctity of marriage should only be enjoyed by a man and woman coming together in conjugation!

President Obama is in a unique place in history. He appears at a time of crisis. He touts Abraham Lincoln as one of his childhood idols. However, if he is going to model himself after President Lincoln, well and good. President Lincoln was an honorable man who laid his life on the line believing that no man should be a slave, and that all men were created equal. But know this President Obama, President Abraham Lincoln was no Socialist! President Lincoln was no abortionist! And President Lincoln was no sodomite, and I most seriously doubt that he would endorse gay rights and activities. So, President Obama, if you are going to model/pattern yourself after this great man, then you should do what he would have done. And in doing this Mr. President, you too could lose your life also!   Perhaps just like him in your second term, déjà vu? Good people lay down their lives for what is right, and they never, ever, capitulate! There is a reason for you and this time! There is a reason for your adoration of President Lincoln, and now President Obama it is time for you to return this country to its greatness. Refuse the socialist agenda and its doomed governance! Rule this country as would President Abraham Lincoln!

Balancing the Budget and Cutting Costs!

 

With the disintegration of America’s financial resources, the governments state and federal must find ways to cut costs. The employment rate is around 7.2% and rising, while the current population of America stands at approximately (according to US Census Bureau Population Clock) 305,576,445. And, the World population is 6,752,489,013; and this figure is approaching seven billion people on planet earth. What can be understood by these statistical dynamics? First, the employment rate is almost 93%, and that is a good sign. The unemployment rate from 1929-1933 was 25%. However, the population during that era was around 122 million and Herbert Clark Hoover was President. By contrast the 1900 population census numbered only 76 million people.  And now the US has increased over four times since the 1900 census. So, what is the answer to reducing the operating costs at every level? The answer may not be palatable because some of the cost cutting measures may be considered too Draconian.

The first thing that must be done is to forgive the debt burden of every tax-paying citizen of the United States as long as they are legal citizens every seven years. The debt on anything of substantive value should not be financed beyond seven years. This means houses, cars, credit cards etc. How could anyone make payments that would be considered astronomical with reduced payment periods such as seven years you may be thinking? One thing of note; the houses, cars, along with other costly items, are grossly overpriced. This is now being seen in the housing “bubble” collapse. And, this will be seen in future goods devaluations. Right now there are many (thousands and thousands) new automobiles in dealership lots across America that is not being sold. What are the car manufacturers going to do with these and future models, let them just sit? The car prices along with most merchandise are grossly over-inflated, pricewise. Somehow the entire economy must be reduced to reasonable pricing, and that includes wages and benefit packages. But, will this happen? The financial control resides within a select elite circle of individuals worldwide. These financiers are recalcitrant obdurate mortals that reject the delineated precept, “At the end of every seven years you shall make a release. And this is the manner of the release: every creditor shall release that which he has lent unto his neighbor” (Deuteronomy 15:1-2). And because of their continued refusal to release people from their debts every seven years, the financial institution (s) will ultimately completely crash. There will be nothing of value and that includes gold, silver and precious stones etc. This will be the worst time in the history of the world.

Another cost cutting measure is to reduce the current illegal immigrant population via deportations. If they are not legal; deport them! Oh, some might think that a massive legal immigration policy would be the adaptive measure to ensure that these illegal immigrants will not be deported. Is this the answer and or solution, no, emphatically no! And the why is easily explained with loss of jobs, low production of crops because of natural disasters that are increasing on a yearly basis. And that will leave masses of people without food and without jobs. So, a reduction of approximately 12 Million illegal immigrants would free up some of America’s resources such as jobs, health care, housing, welfare, and a plethora of other commodities and services received free by illegal immigrants that true Americans cannot even receive albeit native by birth and lineage. The illegal immigrants (each one) had a country of their own and decided to evacuate that country to come to America to receive what? A better life, a better education, a better health care system, better overall living conditions? Yes, but at what cost to America’s true people? Being perfectly honest brings one to hard decisions. America cannot support these illegal people and neither should they have too! America has implemented a system whereby immigrants can become legal. Any true American cannot be opposed to legal immigration, can they? One would hope not! However, the reality of it all must be considered!

It is going to be a sad moment in the history of America when the aforementioned illegal deportation takes place. And, this is not being said by yours truly here. No, a Higher Power has spoken concerning the future events of America and the world, but who will heed? I leave you with this prophecy to consider. “So I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall move out of its place, in the wrath of Yahweh of Hosts, and in the day of His fierce anger.    And it shall be as a gazelle driven away, and as a sheep no one gathers; each man shall look to his own people, and each one shall flee to his own land.  Everyone who is found shall be pierced through; yes, everyone who is swept away shall fall by the sword” (Isaiah 13:13-15 LITV). Yes, they shall flee to their own land, and if they are found they shall be pierced through. Consider; if the Military is sent to round up the illegal immigrants, what action would they take if necessary? And if the US Military cannot bring itself to follow directives, they will bring in soldiers from a foreign country (s) to accomplish the task. This prophecy will not remain unfulfilled!

Hatred and Envy Yields Libel and Slander!

"Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?" Proverbs 27:4

Why are some people filled with hatred and envy?  It seems that anyone who would become successful in life becomes a target of failures and ne’er-do-wells. In order to bring you down to their levels many hateful individuals will resort to any manoeuver including propaganda, libel, slander, and outright lies.  The terms for these evil overtures are, libel if printed, and slander if spoken.  Warren Buffet says it takes twenty years to build a good reputation and only five minutes to destroy it.  In this modern day of internet obfuscation and pseudo names, libelous statements can be posted with seeming impunity! Or; is this true?  No; because eventually these hateful envious people can be caught and prosecuted.  There is a line in the First Amendment to the Constitution that cannot be crossed.  Not everything said or published is protected under the free speech clause.  What is hatred and what kind of person(s) publish hateful libelous statements or make slanderous statements.  First, these kinds of people are considered to be low rent in stature, mostly losers and failures.  Maybe a definition would help to explain hatred and the mental state of hateful people?

 

1. "Hatred is clearly and most obviously an emotion, an intense emotion, that is, a passion. To better understand hatred, it is helpful to have some sophisticated understanding of human emotions—the irrational underpinnings of human behavior and the darker side of the human spirit.

 

2. Hatred is more than an emotion. It is also a psychological condition; a disorder of perception; a form of quasi- delusional thinking. Therefore, to understand the condition of hatred, one must understand the nature of a delusion, a symptom of severe mental disease. One must examine the meaning of the paranoid shift that is central to the thinking of a hating individual and a culture of hatred. This examination will lead us into the somewhat bizarre world of symptom formation.

 

3. Finally, hatred requires an attachment. Like love, it needs an object. The choice of an object—also like love—may be rational or irrational. Obsessive hatred is by definition irrational. The choice of the victim is more often dictated by the unconscious needs and the personal history of the hater than by the nature, or even the actions, of the hated."

 

HATRED: The Psychological Descent into Violence

WILLARD GAYLIN, M.D. (2003)

 

Notice point number two.  Hatred is a form of "a severe mental disease."  And, it usually needs an object to focus that hatred on!  And if that is someone of any success or of high moral standards (above their own), they will try and destroy the object (person(s)) of their hatred.  And they will use low level subversive tactics to propagate their vitriolic slander. And, they will post libelous statements under pseudonyms on any low level website forum(s) they can find that will allow it!  One should never believe everything you hear or read!  In legal processes, evidences are presented to condemn or to exonerate anyone accused of a crime.  However, in the minds of people filled with hatred and envy, it doesn't matter!  It is how they see it that matters in their demented little world! Here is what Plutarch, On ‘Envy and Hate’ has to say.

"[1] Envy and hatred are passions so like each other that they are often taken for the same. And generally, vice has (as it were) many hooks, whereby it gives unto those passions that hang thereto many opportunities to be twisted and entangled with one another; for as differing diseases of the body agree in many like causes and effects, so do the disturbances of the mind. He who is in prosperity is equally an occasion of grief to the envious and to the malicious man; therefore we look upon benevolence, which is a willing our neighbor’s good, as an opposite to both envy and hatred, and fancy these two to be the same because they have a contrary purpose to that of love. But their resemblances make them not so much one as their unlikeness makes them distinct. Therefore we endeavor to describe each of them apart, beginning at the original of either passion.

[2] Hatred proceeds from an opinion that the person we hate is evil, if not generally so, at least in particular to us. For they who think themselves injured are apt to hate the author of their wrong; yea, even those who are reputed injurious or malicious to others than ourselves we usually nauseate and abhor. But envy has only one sort of object, the felicity of others. Whence it becomes infinite, and, like an evil or diseased eye, is offended with everything that is bright. On the other hand, hatred is always determined by the subject it adheres to." (Plutarch circa 45 - 125 C.E.) Priest of the Delphic Oracle.

Many criminal acts are perpetrated because of hate and envy, murder being one of the primary crimes committed. And it becomes even worse if the crime is pre-meditated! And hatred and envy can be expanded by demented individuals to commit this heinous act! Consider the following passage from the Bible whence the precedent for the pre-meditated murder concept originates. "And if a man hates his neighbor, and lies in wait for him, and rises up against him, and strikes his life from him, so that he dies, and flees to one of these cities, then the elders of his city shall send and bring from him there, and give him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die. Your eye shall not pity him, but you shall put away the innocent blood from Israel, and it shall be well with you." Deuteronomy 19:11-13. And, you had better believe that some people are so filled with hatred that they would actually murder the object(s) of their hatred and envy should the opportunity present itself! And they lay in wait lurking on the internet forums expressing their hate and evil desires for innocent people! Thus, the hatred and envy concept/emotion when played out to the fullest evil extent can and will bring death! "For he knew they delivered Him up through envy." Matthew 27:18 And thus it was said of a man known as the Messiah! This is where envy and hatred ultimately leads.
